I beat the game itself, Assignment Ada, and Separate ways.......


Why do I feel I'm missing something? I've pretty much bought everything so far....I've Leon with his RPD suit and the Assault Rifle, Punisher, Chicago Typewriter, and Infinite Launcher(sucks for recovery items) at Max....so now I'm overpowered.....

There's nothing left to do, is there?

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, do what I did with the GC version and replay the game 12 times blasting all of the dudes that thought they were such badasses to hell and back.

Anyway, I beat Seperate Ways today. Wow, that was intense. I got past Krauser (he was easy), bought the Bowgun from the Merchant before Saddler, ended up getting my arse whooped on and had absolutely no healing items and ran out of bows, so I loaded my shotgun, but Saddler did this attack that took everything away from my health except a little smigeon, and then with one shotgun blast to the face, he went down. I couldn't believe it, as I figured I was ****ed. Of course, then came the surprise that it was not over yet, fortunately Capcom was nice enough to place a FAS right in front of you, so I managed to survive the rest of the way to the RL, only to grab with with 1.57 seconds remaining.

Tomorrow I start Leon's game over so that I can cash in all of my treasures and save up for the CT.

Well I got the game today and man I really can't get used to the wiimote controlls I don't know why

I've died like three times already in places that you shouldn't die.

[Dr Kain]

Trust me, you should get used to them quickly. It felt weird at first, but after about 10 minutes of playing, I had no issues.

With that saide, I got my Chicago Typewriter, Infinite RL, and a maxed out Auto Rifle again, so I sold off my GC version and put the credit towards today's Transformers release.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Well I tried using the GCN controller but for some reason it wouldn't work but I'm sorta used to the controlls now so it doesn't matter much.

See, when they stereotyped ALL hispanic people in RE4, sure, I cringed, but I admitted that it was fun....even if I'm sorta blowin' up my own people.....and they practically deserve it if you think about it - tryin; to rip my guts out and everything..

Last night, I overheard a conversation on this from a couple of folks - they were african-american BTW, and in the minority of people who even pay attention to the RE franchise, but they sorta reminded me why this world is SO F#CKED UP:

They were talking about how in RE, you never ONCE see a black person as the main character - they have a white guy, a bunch of white girls, and a hispanic(brasil's not exactly a latin nation, and that's where Carlos is from) but not ONE black person. Well, they haven't played RE:Outbreak, where's plenty of diverse ethnicities coming together to battle the forces of the undead for the greater good of humanity(and their own hides).

ANyway, the guy behind the counter, also black, says that videogames are downright racist anyway, since they all stereotype - look at San Andreas - the lead guy's a black man and he's an ex-con. A customer, a white customer, asked about RE5 and guess what? They jumped on him. Though he had a great come-back and conversation-ender: "Did you guys even play those games?" Their response: "Naw, man. We jus' don' like game where black people gettin' killed thats' all.", "Them Resident Evil games is whack man. killin' zombies n' s#!t. I don't play 'em.", "Naw, I mostly play the football games and the basketball games. I don't like action games, man. Too hard." Next, the priceless one, the guy from behind the counter: "I play most games. I played Resident Evil 2 and 4, Outbreak, and Dead Aim. I play 'em 'cuz their good games. Doesn't mean I like 'em. I actually hate 'em. I like sports games. My boys play sports games, so I play wit 'em on LIVE. Halo and those games are sorry."

By now, I'm pissed. So I ask 'em: "Then why be angry at a game you're not even gonna try?" Answer? "'Cause it's black people and not spanish people gettin' killed. They bein' racist an' all dat. Not like you care anyway, white boy." They said this with a smile. Needless to say, that Gamestop just lost a customer. Sad too, 'cause that's where I go to most of the time, and I have friends who work there.

When "Maximum Overdose", "Just Cause", and other games stereotyping hispanics came out, did anyone complain? I didn't. Heck, I like 'em, ESPECIALLY Max. Overdose/Chili Con Carnage. When in RE 4, I discovered that the game programmers programmed 45% of the ganados' random spewings to be curse words, did I feel shocked or shamed? no. It didn't matter. In the game, I wouldn't even give them a chance to use it anyway .


The racism comes in the fact that they like violence towards other people BUT themselves, and in their own way. "Resident Evil Outbreak sholda been in da hood." If ya didn't notice, File 2 HAS "the hood" - it's just overrun by zombies, who were also people and at one point, were also colored.

It's just messed up how this issue has to come up now.

[Elliot Gay]

But it's not really an issue, because the only people saying that are in the clear minority. Otherwise this would have been a real issue a while ago.

Anyone care to speculate on the RE5 trailer?

After seeing it again, I'm freakin' stoked about it, controversy or not.

TO make things even more interesting, Both the trailer and Famitsu have this image of some woman in a cat suit inside a liquid tube....

Anyone care to speculate on that?

ANother topic: Has anyone seen the new pics for RE:UC? The RE3 portion seems to be using mostly OUTBREAK areas, like the RPD back alley, the train station, and rooftops....

However, they show off a NEW Carlos model, and according to the fanitsu translation, several HUGE surprises.....Here's hoping Nemesis, Mr.X, and William Birkin show up.....It'd be INSANELY awesome to fight them one-on-two.

Your thoughts?
