You're never fully naked with a beard.

Talking of nakedness though, isn't it weird that you feel more naked if you just have socks on?

Couple of false starts but am now firmly entrenched in a Resi 5 playthrough on my Series X.
The character models have aged really well even if the environments haven’t, and did my first QTE last night. I do hope if/when they revisit this game those are kept in, they are part of its character.
Aiming is really jarring coming from 4make, have had to turn the aiming speed to minimum and it’s like the old Star Wars wireframe game in that really you are moving a cursor (or laser sight in this case) rather than a gun.
It’s good, I’m really enjoying it and adored this game when it was released.
One nagging point though that I had a false start a couple of weeks ago, and tried deleting that save and starting from scratch. It wouldn’t do that presumably due to cloud saves, so I ended up starting with some premature equipment and resources including the shotgun, rifle, MP5 and a bunch of grenades. I ended up therefore doing a couple of farming runs on the early stages which is probably against the spirit of the thing.
Can’t wait for all the magnum action to come later and the boulder punching.
Looking forward to 6 after this which I never played, building a ‘more is more’ approach on this framework must surely have resulted in one of the finest entries in the series!

You can delete cloud saves by deleting the console save though the Xbox menu, then doing it again. It'll ask if you want to delete saves everywhere
Couldn't just start a new game?
5 is great fun. Leon's campaign in 6 is OK. I don't thnk 6 is terrible, it's just not good. I don't see myself ever wanting to play it again though, which makes it unique for an RE game at least. The one you don't want to play

I would disagree and say 6 is terrible. It's a game I've routinely forgotten about, installed and then been quickly reminded why I uninstalled it.

Didn't even enjoy your first playthrough? I don't remember the shooting being bad or anything like that (expect in the Chris campaign which had no ammo). I think I could play it and enjoy myself enough if I had to. But I'm not going to test it. It's the only one I don't own on Xbox

No. It just kept getting progressively worse. At the beginning I was trying to convince myself it wasn't absolute trash because I got on board with the franchise when I got a GameCube at uni and bought Resi Remake on a whim and absolutely fell for it so much that I got a Canadian copy of Resi 4 just to play it early. I was in such denial until I got to Chris' campaign and I just thought shit, this is an absolute garbage fire.

I think I got it when I bought a new console (PS4 maybe) and I hadn't played an RE game for a while, so that probably contributed. I know I played it through a few times, so I must have enjoyed it. It certainly has a lot of ideas

I hate it. Completely.
Yet I’ve just bought it for the switch. I’m going to play it. Now you may ask why. You have every right to. It annoys me that it’s the only one I haven’t finished. So I’m going to.
Send help.

Good luck wunty, enjoy chomping down those tic tacs
I forced myself to complete it after many aborted attempts. I’ve probably done Leon’s campaign 20 times and then given up as soon as I started one of the others
FUCKING HATE IT

You can shoot from the hip. I liked Helena and it was nice seeing Sherry back
I hope you enjoy it, wunty, don't let them spoil it

The thing is I can see what they were trying to do but that era of the 360 is where the rot had properly set in for Capcom with their brain dead decisions and a focus on farming their IP out and how hard up they were at the beginning of the PS4 generation. Getting rid of Inafune and the like really saved the company and look at them now, making the best stuff they've ever done and are frankly one of, if not the best publisher/Dev currently.

Had a wee go of RE6 before beddytime. Did the Leon/Helena intro bit. Plays and looks quite decent on the OLED in portable mode!
Not sure what to do. Like Retro, I've always started with Leon then binned it after his campaign. Thinking now I may start with one of the other two main ones, then the other, and THEN do Leon's one. Then Ada last.

That's the one that's getting done first then. I remember that's where me and my brother bounced off it way back at release. We'd done Leon's campaign and started Chris and by the time we had no ammo and were getting swarmed with enemies that we were expected to shoot - with no ammo - we called it a day. Not tried his campaign since.

Yeah, I think that's the worst one because of the ammo shortage. You can unlock 'infinite ammo' but I swear it just changes all the ammo pickups to whatever you're using and it doesn't help

I have to jambo. I have to. It’s always there when I look in the mirror. Staring back at me. Mocking me. It knows I hate it. Yet it knows I need to play it because I can’t go on with the gap in my RE experience. It might just break me though.

The way characters double over and wheeze for about 10 minutes after a couple of melee attacks should be quite immersive these days
