Currently I am playing the original version of RE1 on the Steam Deck and it is harder than the DS version. Actually it is harder than any other version of the game but it is 100% worth it!
I got Infinite Ammo in Resident Evil Requiem ... so I am running around Requiem-ing everything in the game I got it by completing a run where I did not heal or blood craft as Grace!
On the side I have Infernax and Metroid Fusion that I have never finished, still stuck on the gravity abomination boss
Here is what I don't get. Why did they change the original layout?
How to play first person shooters on this like Quake 1, Quake 2, Turok? I mean on the original it is somehow comfortable to have your left hand on the dpad for movement and right hand on the stick for looking.
I do not see this being possible with this layout.
Last week I beat RE8, RE4R and RE7. Now it is time for my LEAST favorite Remake of the series. It is a shame of how little they've put into this game It has its moments. Anyway I am about to go out of the RPD with Carlos.
On the side I made the amazing Resident Evil Village VR to work smoothly on my laptop and I am so happy!!!
And lastly a game I have not played in a long time! The Legend of Zelda The Skyward Sword HD. I might start it fresh as I have no memory of my previous play session
After the exquisite Resident Evil Requiem I am continuing my playthrough of the PS5 version of Resident Evil 4 Remake. I am currently on the Island area.
I will pick up Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag again and I might play some Pokemon LeafGreen
@Questionable_Duck I have lost faith in Xbox as a whole. Their last 2 generations of consoles are extremely unfriendly. And they have built in DRM right from the box.
I do not think that ANY other console has that crap, it is anti-consumer.
@The_Nintendo_Expat
I can add to the list:
1. WarCraft RTS franchise
2. StarCraft II
@OrtadragoonX While that is true, Leon is more of a special solo agent that do specific missions or extracts like he did with Ashley and (sort of) Grace.
If he is given squads I do not know if they will be all alive until the end of the missions. I am sure his "aura" help a lot too
But if there are squads of Leons they will ALL be alive at the end
@darkswabber From gameplay point of view maybe but the lore and locations from 2 are essential.
The references, the MR X chase, the orphanage, the whole RPD, the signs inside, the emblems of the keys on the doors. Those small details make it so much better if you know them from RE2.
@Discostew Resident Evil 7 alone revived the franchise. Resident Evil Village is continuation of 7 with the same protagonist.
And Resident Evil 9 should be played if you played Resident Evil 2 (remake for the best experience). Otherwise your experience with 9 will not be that great.
@kmtrain83 Sure, but it is far from "the best way to play".
@nuke13 I referenced the Deck as an option because I love emulating on it. The free option is to get the games not the device. But you can play it on any cheap emulation handheld or low end PC/Laptop.
It is Resident Evil ofc the story will not be the main point. We talk about "jill sandwiches" and Wesker "dialogue" right from the start and up to "BINGO!" and boulder punching.
Resident Evil is all about atmosphere and enjoyment.
@ElkinFencer10 I mean they are about to ship Wolfenstein II on the Switch 1! Their relationship with Bethesda is awesome!
Let's not forget DooM Eternal, DooM 64, DooM Classic Collection, Quake 1 and Quake 2!
This weekend more Diablo II Reign of the Warlock (finally got my Enigma!) and Reanimal. On the side I will have The Messenger. Next weekend and week will ALL be occupied with Resident Evil Requiem! Have an amazing weekend everyone!!!
@Tasuki Thee update is cool but they need to address much of the stuff. I do not care much for the Warlock BUT the native support on the Steam Deck is amazing! I had trouble with the battle net version on the deck.
I wish they could make the loot filter feature to make items on the ground that are hidden to not be pick-able
This weekend I will play Reanimal. I have played and beaten Little Nightmares 1 and 2 (still have to play 3). It looks really good on the PS5.
After the amazing reveal of Belmont's Curse I will play Dracula's Curse! I also hope that we can see Hector in Belmont's Curse as he should be alive in that time period!
And I will be playing Diablo 2 Reign of the Warlock on the Steam Deck. It plays like a dream NOW that it is natively supported on the Deck! No character slot limit so I can finally start the Holy Grail challenge for myself!
Have a wonderful (AND filled with Love!) gaming weekend everyone!!!
@TYRANACLES Symphony of the Night is the one that is near perfection. Yes it is unbalanced, but after all it was 1997.
I LOVE almost all Castlevania games with some exclusions like Judgement (the Wii fighting one), Grimoire of Souls (iOS one), Kid Dracula (too parodical for me).
My favorite ones are the metroidvania style CV games BUT last year I beat MOST the classic games and now I love them too!
Ritual of thee Night was not that great. At first it looked and played amazing but after the first half it felt so rushed in terms of castle areas. I wish they cooked it some more. Looking forward to Bloodstained The Scarlet Engagement
On the topic of Curse of Darkness, I also completed (for the first time) it last year + Lament of Innocence. I loved it as well!
I hope we can see Hector in Belmont's Curse as he should be alive there!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (4th April)
This weekend will be exciting!
I have Resident Evil 8 (I have reached the Castle!) on the Meta Quest 3 and Silent Hill 2 for the horror part!
And for relaxing I have Shovel Knight Dig and Ocarina of Time 3D!
Re: Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production After Sophie Turner Suffers "Minor Injury"
That is why stunt doubles are important.
I know that it sounds good for marketing and showing personal traits but if you injure yourself you put the whole project on hold.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th March)
@DubDuck It is quite a beautiful setting AND it is something special if you have been to some of the places IRL

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th March)
This weekend I will focus on Assassin's Creed Odyssey as I am on Chapter 7.
I will play Resident Evil 1 (the OG) on Steam Deck with the analog controls mod.
And finally if the time permits some Metroid Dread
Happy gaming!
Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Playable Character?
Leon S. Kennedy ofc! The super chad
Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Villain?
Voted for Mr. X from RE2 Remake. He is terrifying there and I loved how he makes you move on your toes listening for his footsteps in the RPD
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (GameCube)
I went with the NA cover. I looks like a 90s action movie poster and I really like that

Re: Xbox Announces Next Generation Console, Will Play "Xbox And PC Games"
I prefer the Steam Machine. It is flexible and it will probably be so much more enjoyable than the horror that is Xbox.

@OrtadragoonX While that is true, Leon is more of a special solo agent that do specific missions or extracts like he did with Ashley and (sort of) Grace.

Re: Feature: "I Literally Got Goosebumps" - Nick Apostolides On Returning As Leon In Resident Evil Requiem
RE2R - Leon is trapped with Zombies in a location
RE9 - Zombies are trapped with Leon in a location
Leon is easily my favorite character in the RE games. I know ... I am one of those people
Re: Japanese Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Scares Off The Competition
Absolutely amazing game! Now I am working to unlock/buy the infinite ammo bonus
Re: Reminder: Resident Evil's Generation Pack Is Leaving The Switch 2 eShop This Month
@darkswabber It wasn't me that added the spoiler tag
Also the RPD is on the cover of the box and the rest of the things I said should mean nothing to a person that did not play RE2.

Resident Evil Village is continuation of 7 with the same protagonist.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Already Sold Over 5 Million Copies
Amazing game! If it had been all on the Switch 2 cartridge I would've double dipped on day 1!

@HammerKirby Bingo!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?
10/10 I REALLY enjoyed it!
The nostalgia notes, the references, the locations!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th February)
There is ONLY one thing to be played right now - Resident Evil Requiem!
Enjoy the amazing weekend guys!
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
@DominionGamma I did not mean it like that.
I did not care for the bad graphics or the performance issues. Those games have ZERO "soul" and attention to details, unlike the previous generations.
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
After the atrocious Violet/Scarlet I do not have faith in GameFreak one tiny bit.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite 3DS Model?
I own a 3DS XL, 2DS, "New" 3DS XL and a 2DS XL and I think the one I enjoy the most is the 3DS XL.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Resident Evil Requiem
It is Resident Evil ofc the story will not be the main point. We talk about "jill sandwiches" and Wesker "dialogue" right from the start and up to "BINGO!" and boulder punching.

I am hoping that LRG can give me a FULL cartridge of that!
It is below 64 GB after ALL dammit!
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Are Already "Best Sellers" On The Switch eShop Charts

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st February)
This weekend more Diablo II Reign of the Warlock (finally got my Enigma!) and Reanimal. On the side I will have The Messenger.
Next weekend and week will ALL be occupied with Resident Evil Requiem!
Have an amazing weekend everyone!!!
Re: "Please Don't Post Or Share Pre-Release Leaks And Spoilers" - Capcom Sets Its Sights On Resident Evil Requiem Leakers
I am so happy that leaks have no effect on me. Like at all. I spoiled the game and still expect it on 100%.
If people do not like leaks maybe they should quit the internet and only visit the eShop or something.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th February)
@Tasuki Thee update is cool but they need to address much of the stuff. I do not care much for the Warlock BUT the native support on the Steam Deck is amazing! I had trouble with the battle net version on the deck.
I wish they could make the loot filter feature to make items on the ground that are hidden to not be pick-able
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th February)
This weekend I will play Reanimal. I have played and beaten Little Nightmares 1 and 2 (still have to play 3). It looks really good on the PS5.
After the amazing reveal of Belmont's Curse I will play Dracula's Curse! I also hope that we can see Hector in Belmont's Curse as he should be alive in that time period!
And I will be playing Diablo 2 Reign of the Warlock on the Steam Deck. It plays like a dream NOW that it is natively supported on the Deck! No character slot limit so I can finally start the Holy Grail challenge for myself!

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026
@TYRANACLES Symphony of the Night is the one that is near perfection. Yes it is unbalanced, but after all it was 1997.
I LOVE almost all Castlevania games with some exclusions like Judgement (the Wii fighting one), Grimoire of Souls (iOS one), Kid Dracula (too parodical for me).
My favorite ones are the metroidvania style CV games BUT last year I beat MOST the classic games and now I love them too!
Ritual of thee Night was not that great. At first it looked and played amazing but after the first half it felt so rushed in terms of castle areas. I wish they cooked it some more. Looking forward to Bloodstained The Scarlet Engagement
On the topic of Curse of Darkness, I also completed (for the first time) it last year + Lament of Innocence. I loved it as well!

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026
@Yalloo Haha, If I had the money I would buy a Castle for my Castlevania collection and start collecting sculptures in 1:1 scale
Re: Konami's Anniversary Revival Of Castlevania Is Only Just Beginning, Expect More "New Products"
I am sorry but I have to put my CV collection here as well! I am so proud of it
Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026
This will go nicely with my current Castlevania collection!
Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026
Finally! A new Castlevania game!
Re: Diablo II: Resurrected Announces New 'Warlock' Class, And It's Available Today
Cool update but I did not see the character slot limit removed on consoles. There is no reason to have it as it is unnecessary.
Re: Review: Reanimal (Switch 2) - Little Nightmares Team Delivers Its Darkest, Boldest Vision Yet
