luciazephyrSweet zombie jesus, I am horrible at Resident Evil. I am so bad at this. It's my first third person shooter and my inexperience shows. God, yanno, I was planning on renting the game when it came out and maybe whinging at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gogodgene to lemme be the Sheva to her Chris, but now I can't because having me for a partner is a fate worse than death. :O
My main problem is that I am so unused to the view, I keep expecting to go into first person mode to shoot and instead it's just a little laser sight thingie and I have ten zombies shambling after me and Sheva's calling for help, so I dig out the knife to fight my way to her and I can't hold the knife and move at the same time.
Also, I was joking about Chris Redfield's "two Christmas hams nailed to an angry two-by-four" arms before but his arms are so big, I cannot see around them.
Understand this about me, FList: I am a sneaky, cautious gamer. I look are and stealth and snipe people from afar. It's my modus operandi. But with Chris and his massive arms in my way, I can't SEE and I just get panicked and end up fumbling around while Sheva picks up all the ammo and looks at me like I'm demented. I suck at this demo.
But christ is it fun. ♥ ♥ ♥
I'm gonna try again soon, maybe pick a different control scheme and speed up the aiming. Maybe this time I'll make it past the goddamn chainsaw dude.
Also? I've been watching the RE4 Lets Play Maxwell Adams did. And I was really enjoying it, it was great and the escort mission wasn't too annoying. But then midget Napolean showed up and suddenly I understood why people say these games have bad writing. Oh. My. God. It's so bad, it's great. NARMTASTIC, MAN.

PS: I've taken to wearing my new 360 headset even when I'm taking a break from playing. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A REAL MGS MISSION CONTROL PERSON. :D :D :D

Date: 2009-03-05 09:47 pm (UTC)I'll have to rent it myself. I'm downloading it, instead of buying it (because the spoilers absolutely ruined a chance of Capcom getting money out of me), so I can't necessarily play online with a downloaded version.
IT'LL BE FUN TIMES TO PLAY TOGETHER!

Date: 2009-03-05 09:50 pm (UTC)UM CAN I ASK YOU FOR ONE SPOILER?
D-DOES WESKER DIE? BECAUSE I'D BE REALLY SAD IF HE DID. D: Ever since I watched GameTrailers retrospective, I've fallen hard for his evilness. He's my favorite kind of villain- the quintuple agent with chronic backstabbing disorder. Like Ocelot, but less ghey (tho next to Ocelot, everyone looks straight).

THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS COMMENT, DON'T READ IT, FOLKS
Date: 2009-03-05 10:42 pm (UTC)This is not fucking Star Wars, Capcom.Are there clones in REverse? Because a Magnificent Bastard type like him would totally have contingency plan in case of rocket-to-the-face.
MOAR SPOILERS.
Date: 2009-03-05 10:50 pm (UTC)I totally raged at it all. Pure, fangirl rage.Highlight to reveal:But Capcom has stated that RE5 draws Chris' story to a close, and Wesker is infamous for being tied in with Chris wherever he shows up. SO WHO KNOWS?
Re: MOAR SPOILERS.

It's like Kojima, but not awesome. Anyway to give RE5 the MGS4 treatment and just say it's all happening in Raiden's head? :lol just stamps things non-canon when displeased, such is the modus operandi of a fangirl:
Oh well. I looks like he gets to be awesome for most of the game, yeah? ... If not, don't tell me. I only wanted to know Wesker's fate. I'm staying unspoiled for the rest.

And yes, glad to say, he stays awesome for most of the game. C:

Date: 2009-03-05 10:39 pm (UTC)I even made a list of every stupid one-liner Leon uttered through the course of the game, just... just to have it
Also, Maxwell Adams is awesome! I've blown so many hours watching their videos, ahahah. They can make anything interesting.

Date: 2009-03-05 10:44 pm (UTC)I love Maxwell and his crew. They are awesomesauce. And the Skype chat that goes on while they're UStreaming is fucking funny. RANDOM DISCUSSIONS AHOY.
