Topic: Resident Evil - Switch releases

Well yeah, they're by no means bad games. They're just a bit too un-resident evil for the fans of the series, but they're perfectly entertaining on their own.

And with motion aiming, I may finally get around to beating them!

@StableInvadeel I'll take it. Admittedly, I've never played an re with gyro. Might try it on one of these.

I may have missed this but, do you only get the 33% discount( for buying 0,1 or 4) on 5 or 6 for preorders? I just checked and it's full price.

I'd just like to give a shout out to RE6. The way over hated one that didn't deserve half the crap it got.

Ended up buying re4 on sale. Anyone know how to play on easy mode? I'm not finding it in settings or from the me in menu.

@NintendoByNature it will go down in difficulty as you play, if it notices you need it.

@StableInvadeel well that's a rather smart game if you ask me. No doubt it will catch on that I'm pretty bad at re games. Thanks for the help my dude.

@NintendoByNature yes they used a really nifty little system. So don't be discouraged of you die repeatedly, the game will adjust things around, and chances are you'll also get naturally better with each try as well.

What??!! Gird up those loins cause you’re for a wild ride!

One of my favorite past times is playing Resident Evil with gyro. My first RE-gyro experience was Revelations on the 3DS way back in like 2012. Some time around then. I’d played a bit of RE4 with IR aiming but not enough to see the true appeal. Been a chronic fan ever since Revelations though. The problem is, my drug of choice has been in rare supply. Or at least it was, until the Switch released.

Now we’re up to our eyeballs in RE with gyro. On Switch alone, we have no less than four Resident Evil titles with not just gyro, but full motion gestures. Revelations 1 and 2 allows you to do a reloading animation which is actually pretty well done and, I think it adds fun to the experience. I believe you can also stab with your knife by shaking the joy con in a stabbing motion. And now in RE5 and RE6 you have gyro aiming plus the stabbing gesture for the knife. But wait... there’s more! The gyro even works when holding L to stab with the knife, so you can actually aim your melee attacks using gyro too, completely separate from the action gesture to stab!

And I have to say the Gyro in these new releases is incredibly well done. Honest to goodness some of the best gyro of any game I’ve played. Not everyone gets it perfect. But the gyro in RE5/6 is ultra smooth with zero jitter and a perfect 1:1 response. It’s muah! Perfecto!

Btw, RE4 is brutal imo. I can’t even get past the first little sequence

@JaxonH so i played re4 for a good 5 hours at this point with no gyro obviously and getting head shots is rather tough. The only time I can truly get them is with the rifle and scope. It's actually my favorite part of the Game picking off enemies from a distance and getting a head shot every time. Considering I play solo, I might only go with re6 next. I liked the demo of 5, but I won't have anyone to play with and I'd rather not be stuck with bad AI

@NintendoByNature
Honestly the AI has been great so far in RE5. Shes been taking out enemies nice and proper for me. I mean, she isnt so good you can just stand there, but she holds her own and contributes just as much as I do. Even heals me sometimes when I need it.

And let's not forget RE6 has the same thing going on with an AI partner always being behind you.

I assume the AI has been a bit tweaked in re-releases, but in the original RE 5 release the AI partner was bad; if you give them the sniperrifle they will just pick off enemies from a distance.

@JaxonH I need to stop discussing games with you, you always talk me into buying more 😜. But in all seriousness, if it's actually pretty decent, I'll prob buy it once it hits A sale.

@StableInvadeel
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

@Sadist
Is that good or bad? If they are picking off enemies from a distance that sounds like it’s really competent AI. Unless you’re saying you don’t want them to do that and you want them to allow the enemies to get closer first. I did notice my AI partner shot a few enemies through the window when they were still a ways off, but I was doing the same thing. Was like heck ya, go you. Get those shots in girl 😁

I guess it depends on the person playing?

@JaxonH

Sorry, was not very clear; I played the game first on PC and well, playing as Chris I shot Sheva a few times because she would walk in front of me while sniping for instance. Dang girl, why?

If you gave her the sniper rifle it became better though. She wouldn’t run in front of you.

I remember Gold Edition on PS3 being better too.

Hey guys, Either looking at re5 or 6. Regarding AI specifically, I know Jaxon said 5's ai isn't that bad but im hoping for more feedback. I will play either one solo so please let me know your thoughts.

Six is probably better for solo. From what I hear the AI companion is a lot less... Dumb.

@Eel thanks, i know youre on vaca but you're a day late, and I'm $20 short 😂. I grabbed 5 this morning. I'm sure itll be manageable though.. at least I'm hoping
