@Dolerman

Another fantastic contribution to the thread. Really fostering conversation here, buddy.

WOW! I wonder which single button is used to trigger that cut-scene attack!

@Dolerman

WOW! I wonder how long it took for you to think of this response while still getting the mechanics wrong! Hey maybe in a few months you'll swing back with something original and valid! Doubtful, but hey, optimism! It's a Shotlock, by the way, not that you care.

[Dolerman]

@Fabricant451

What a surprise, I don't.

But on to RE6, didn't you accuse me of fishing for daring to share 'hot take' opinions, such as saying RDR2 was fucking boring (which you later agreed with). You could have just said RE6 was your favorite but you had to state it as being the 'best' because you wanted a response.

So have you changed your position on hot takes and fishing or is this a Fabricant double standard thing that wont ever be fully explained?

@Dolerman

Wow, it's almost like my opinion changed as I played something for more than three hours. Fuckin' weird how that works, it's almost like someone can enjoy something initially but then realize the faults and flaws as they become more apparent down the line. Sorry I don't have amazing god gamer sense like you do, oh lover of all things Hunie. You tried to pull a 'gotcha' on me a year ago, it didn't work then and it won't work now.

Also I didn't 'accuse' you of fucking shit with RDR2.

Wow, I can't believe how accusatory I was, holy shit!

Hop off me, dude.

Yeah, you know, here I thought the point of a thread was to...oh....I dunno....get conversations going? A back and forth? Get people talking. It accomplished two tasks, letting people know that RE3 art got leaked, thus truly confirming the game, and literally having people talk about an opinion. What the fuck's it matter that I said 'best' instead of 'favorite' when both of them are true in my eyes. It's my favorite and I think it's the best one. Do you think if I had said "RE6 is my favorite one" that no one would respond?

So have you changed your position on hot takes and fishing or is this a Fabricant double standard thing that wont ever be fully explained?

@Dolerman

My dude, liking RE6 isn't a 'hot take' nor was it 'fishing'. Half the time you just post dumb meme shit and bait. Half the time I shit post, but at least it's on topic and I don't dump on people who like something I don't.

Cease your tomfoolery, thanks.

@Dolerman

Cease your tomfoolery, thanks.

@Inkarnate

Agreed

Can we cut down on the pointless posts. If you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say anything.

Okay but, anyone thinking we might get a RE4 Remake?

@Majoras End

Played SMT Devil Survivor way back, but only ever did Naoya and Amane's route. Never really did all the endings. Recently got a hold of Overclocked to re-play it, because I do genuinely like the game.

I also kinda forgot this game has dogshit pacing.

Not in terms of the story- the goddamn atmosphere and sense of tension is great, but my god the actual levels are not well designed. It takes ages to get out of the early demon stage, and then it's a decent curve until the last day when the demons levels spike insanely hard, alongside the difficulty of the game. Don't even get me started on dipshits like me who went Naoya route first playthrough- which is actual grindfest hell.

I love this game, but DeSu2 did the levels it had way better but too bad that game's bosses fucking suck

@Majoras End

Honestly? I don't think so. RE4, for better or worse (in the fandom, anyway, I've heard many a fan who dislike RE4), was a monumentally influential game both for the RE series and games at the time, and its legacy is such that it is constantly ported to the point where RE4 is pretty much on any system out there and for relatively cheap. Unlike the PS1 games which were products of their time, RE4 is still fairly modern so what's there to remake in it, really? If anything I'd assume next on the list for remake is Code Veronica.

Dude. Imagine Alexia's Lullaby being remastered.

That's gonna give me chills.

Sometimes the old songs don't hold up when listening to them in HD audio either.

So, with the Game Awards tomorrow and the year quickly coming to a close I figure now's a good a time as any for everyone's favorite topic.

Hey, guys, what is your Game of the Year for 2019? If it's too hard to pick one, feel free to make a list. Or make a list anyway. What games from 2019 are the ones you look back on the most fondly?

[Gelatinous Cube]

I realize now just how few games from this year I've actually played. I've been happy enough to wait for Steam releases of some new release games so there's a few I want to play that I won't until next year.

So my short list would look like:

Ion Fury
Resident Evil 2
Rage 2
Astral Chain
Link's Awakening

In no particular order except for Ion Fury, which tops out as my favourite. Though, those are all the 2019 games I've played that I recall, and I enjoyed them all to varying extents. Two of them are remakes of games from the 90's and one of them is a deliberately retro, throwback shooter.

@Fabricant451

That would assume I played anything except Fortnite...

How did you even manage to survive the three day down time? A kid on my block went outside for the first time as it happened and he exploded.
