Playdate: Resident Evil 4 (08/07/2019)

I hope the family doesn't fight like last time.

Wow this game is really freakin long this play date has been going like 9 weeks or so

Abby - Upgrade the capacity on your weapons to get more ammo (especially the Stryker).

Doesn’t work for me on mobile. Every other video works for me rn.

Edit: oh it’s because it’s still the “live” video. Not really working when I rewind either. I’ll come back tomorrow!

RIP Tiny Lord

I've been waiting for Abby's reaction to the Oven Zombie the entire game and ...nothing. I don't know if I'm more amazed or disappointed.

THIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!^^^^^

@nameredacted: It’s incredible that they have all those people sitting in the studio, but this has to be pointed out in the comments.

I wish they hadn't been so quick to tell her "Use the rocket launcher, skip this boss fight" and tell her exactly when to do it and everything. Like, literally as soon as she got to it.

Yay the Hot guy is back

Make Abby play The Thing. Just nothing but those facehugger-y things.

We need fanart of Abby and her Little Lord. Yesterday.

I like this thumbnail.

This game just never ends. I'm remembering how annoying each subsequent combat encounter was.

An amazing thumbnail

@vicious17: It was fucking amazing, just how unamazing it was.

and I continue to have a giant man crush on mike mahardy. don't @ me.

i love wrestling just as much as dan. and all i know is that i would get a little pissed if i bring up wrestling and everyone tells me to shut up

@niceneasy92:

Right?! It was almost scripted how perfect it was.

Take a shot every time Abby says "I'm fine" or "It's fine" when she/things are not fine.

@kaplar: 9 out of 10 times when people say that they are fine, or that things are fine, they really mean 'no, I'm actually not okay but I also don't feel like talking about it so I'm just saying that things are fine so we can move on.'

Lord Boy was too beautiful for this world.

@castiel: It's partially that she's not good at the game, thinks she is, and doesn't want to hear any criticism. Not just that she doesn't want to talk about it. Unless her thinking/acting like she's good at it has just been a bit that didn't land with me.

Abby ain't great at the game, but I'm playing the RE2 remake right now and goddamn if I don't miss shot after shot after shot. I can't blame her.

Well, she was quite distracted by being in the middle of an off topic conversation. Hard to get jump scared by something you are barely paying attention to. I appreciated Vinny trying to keep some focus on the game last week, but then people complained about that :\

I'll be looking forward to Abby playing Deadspace in a more private format. RE4 is basically now just background visuals to their unrelated movie and TV show discussions. It does get pretty repetitive though, so I guess that's to be expected.

dan got so much shit for the silica packets thing last week and now everyone out here promoting eating raw eggs when salmonella kills 450 people a year in the US alone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's honestly the moment I've been waiting for.

Please hire me if you start Giant Bomb England.

@exet: Have no idea what you're talking about. She's nailing it.

@exet: Lol, sure dude.

i don't remember that at all on account of well and truly having stopped playing already at this point in the game. rooting for abby to finish for personal reasons of wanting to finally see the end of the game (while not actually wanting to see the end of the game badly enough to warrant searching youtube and watching a video).

@exet:

Yup, can't wait for them to get past it . It's getting a bit stale.

Pouring one out for LL.

Loving this play through. At this point, the game doesn't feel like the same one they were playing when it was in the village.

This is the most I've ever seen of RE4 and if they don't finish it here I'll never see the full game. It seems pretty long though.

@exet:ThIS GiRL ThaT iNVAdeD mY MaN sITe iS nOt a rEaL gaMEr!>??!?!>!?! Go watch a damn speed run you elitist. Nearly every person on the crew has a feature where they struggle, yet you feel the need to attack her? The point of this site is not to feature people playing games perfectly. It's to have fun watching cool people play games. You should have never subscribed!

I'm gonna... i think i'm gonna play through RE4 again. Every week this feature tempts me.

Edit: kick is only headshots or when you shoot them in the shins and they fall to their knees (which is a SUPLEX and it is ultra rad if you can pull it off; it's probably the only thing Dan would like more than kicking a door). No other stun has a melee prompt associated with it.

Glad that dude got banned... you're great, Abby!

The kick totally works...

If you haven't seen this before, enjoy:

Not sure if the YouTube video embed is working, so here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oXx0qwe0wc

Relying on my (not amazing) memory, I'd say they still have two, maybe three episodes left. Too bad this whole island bit was the worst part in the whole game for me.

Dan and Alex's stare into the camera every time Abby mentions she must be nearing the end of the game lol
