Aight, I know I'm mad late to the party and I'm probably gon repeat some stuff, but.. I just beat RE for the first time tonight. Hot dam was that game hard! I was only playing on Hero Mode too, lol. I'd probably still be at the half way point of the game if it wasn't for that.. By the way, that mode is amazing.
This game felt way harder than NGB and NG2 (Xbox version). I don't know if it's cause it's been a few years since I played a NG game or what. I beat both of those games on MN believe or not. What I think made this game harder was the fact that the enemies block and evade a lot more, and that they have more health (some of em die quick, but a small %). NG2 had that XXYBY auto kill for basically all enemies. This one, not so much, hahah. A lot of times in RE, it felt like he wasn't swinging in the direction I wanted him to either. Maybe that had a part in it and is just something I gotta adapt to.
I skipped NG3 cause I aint like the demo. But RE felt pretty awesome though. Combat didn't feel as fluid, seamless and responsive as NG2. But it still felt cool. I think they took a huge step in the right direction from NG3 to NG3RE.
I've never had a problem with the camera in NG before. But the camera during the first section of the T-Rex fight was just straight ridiculous. If hitting RB woulda aimed the camera at the T-Rex, it woulda been fine. But that wasn't happening for me. Maybe I was supposed to click the right thumb stick, like in the last boss fight or somethin. I didn't catch it though. And speaking of the last boss fight, cheese n rice man, wtf! That was straight crazy yo. She's swingin at me, it's raining plasma blasts or whatever, and there's like, 10 platinum versions of those monsters comin at me constantly until I fill up that Nimpo meter. Yo, that was crazy hard. And I couldn't die! (except when she would break the roof n I'd fall through) And still was having a hard time! Only kind of healing you can have available to you on that part is if you waited to use your health upgrade thing. Crazy.. Was pretty awesome doin that last fight with his mask off.. Real talk though, I'm bout to go watch a YouTube video of someone playin this game on MN.
All in all though, I thought the game was pretty bad azz and worthy of the title NG. NG3 felt terrible compared to this one.The OT's were ill, and the camera angles during the SoB animations were hella dope. If they could tighten up the controls a lil and make it more responsive, and let you swing in the direction you're holding the analog stick in like in NGB/NG2. That'd be awesome. Maybe I'm just outa tune with NG, but if I remember right, in NG2 you could cancel most of your attacks with a dash, or a block if someone came at you from behind or somethin. I dunno. Ima go do a normal run and let the game force me to get better at it, lol. Deuces. Feels like it's gon be hard though. Especially some of them boss fights.....
