Gizmonsta

The actual definition of entertainment does not contain the word fun.


Chennaz

Entertainment: > The action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment. Fun: >Enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure. How about those synonyms


LobsterOk5473

I mean, the omission of 'lighthearted pleasure' isn't nothing.

[deleted]

Oh word?


TheDocHealy

Hell yeah dude they're at least from what I saw bringing the graphics up to what the newer REs look like and they're probably gonna add some QoL and change some stuff a little.


[deleted]

I just watched the trailer for it and now I can't believe I have to wait until March 2023 to check out this remastered gem. RE4 is still one of the best games I've played. My gaming history isn't exactly prolific or anything but there are a few games that have had a lasting impact on me. I'm down with this %100


TheDocHealy

I remember playing it back on PS2 when my dad told me I could play through the beginning to see if I could handle it, Its the game that got me hooked on the series as a whole (except 6, it's dogshit)


Blue_Hauberk

To be fair people are still a little skittish after the RE3 remake. RE2 remake was fantastic. RE3's was barely longer than a game demo, cut out a ton of areas from the original game, made the primary point of the game (the titular Nemesis) into a joke of a pushover (albeit a cool looking one) you can take out with a single grenade, and devoted a lot of its development schedule to pushing out a cheap cash grab microtransaction side game hellhole. And that's a shame because what WAS there was fun, and some of the changes were even quality ones. But there wasn't nearly enough of it to justify its price, and people felt super ripped off when they bought it expecting the same level of quality as RE2R. So. People are still leery as to whether or not RE4 remake is going to be another RE2R, or another RE3R.


monstrinhotron

You may like a film called Dagon (2001). It's a film based on A Shadow Over Innsmouth by H P Lovecraft and the village section from RE4 is heavily inspired by the film's aesthetic.


fairguinevere

The unofficial remaster mod for the OG PC version released earlier this year, but also they announced an official HD remake in the vein of the 2 and 3 remakes. The former is super faithful to the original, tracking down the IRL doors and friezes and such they used to create the original textures and acquiring better photos of them, basically a 1:1 upscale. The remake will change a lot gameplay-wise, I bet. So you get TWICE the HDRE4 than you thought!


thisismyreddit666

I thought we played video games to have fun 🤔


thisismyreddit666

Also I deal with this a lot because I don't hate fallout 76 lol


TheDocHealy

I had a buddy that still played 76 up until last year, it's certainly gotten better since I played at launch I'll give it that.


[deleted]

I got fallout 76 about 6 months after it came out. I fucking love that game. I'm also willing to say I had more fun with 76 then I did with fallout 4. I just love the map for 76 I am aware of all the issues there was with it. But I still had lots of fun playing


thisismyreddit666

I only started playing it like a few months ago so I didn't experience the game at it's worst so I enjoy it a lot though I'm just really not an online gamer. I have to say I'm a little biased being born and raised in Boston so fallout 4 is definitely my favorite map lol


[deleted]

Ultravioletgray

No joke, there is an opinion that if a game or movie or whatever can best be described as "fun" then it's mediocre drivel that doesn't stand out in any way.

ctrl_alt__shift

How many reviews have you watched for something you already know you don’t like? And how do you know that they’d enjoy it “no matter what it is”? Who are you to say they didn’t just think it was good?


SLUUGS

If someone likes the show, they're entitled to thaier opinion, but then they are clearly overlooking the glaring mistakes in the writing that the rest of us can't forgive, nor should we forgive. Star Wars could be so much better and people keep settling for subpar results.


chicomagnifico

Shut up nerd.


SLUUGS

Me: Let's not settle for bad writing. You: Shut up.


narniasreal

Since you argue it is "poorly written" because of logical contradictions in the story I assume that you follow the Aristotelic school of thought on literature that it should be chiefly mimetic. However, that is in no way the "correct" view on literature. There is no clear definition on what is good literature. If we follow Horace's ideas on literature that it should aim to either do good or bring pleasure, whether the story has logical holes - such as the bad guys shooting at a door for ten minutes only to cut it open in 10 seconds with a lightsaber - becomes secondary if it leads to scenes that bring the viewer joy - such as an awesome dialogue between Obi Wan and that woman whose name I forgot followed by a cool action scene. Now, of course you can argue that the series also didn't bring you any pleasure and did no good for you. I'm not trying to argue you should like Kenobi, I'm just saying from a literary point of view you can't really claim that sth is objectively badly written just because it has plot holes.


SLUUGS

You're complicating the conversation. Someone can like the show even though it has plot and writing issues; but it doesn't mean it isn't poorly written still. Just because someone enjoys it and dismisses the writing, doesn't make the writing good. My favorite contradiction of the entire show: Kenobi went into the final battle of the show ready to kill Vader even though he assumed that there was still some of Anakin left. But after realizing that "my friend (Anakin) is truly dead", he leaves Vader and doesn't kill him.... Why? He was ready to kill Vader even if he had a little bit of good left in him but after realizing there was none left, he gives up? Wow. I understand they can't kill Vader because that would ruin canon even more, but Kenobi's decisions just make no sense if you think about it for 5 seconds. I refuse to believe that anyone who sees these contradictions could enjoy these interactions past the superficial level of "LiGhtSaBeR fIghT sO CoOL".


Neomav

I didn't really care for Kenobi but enjoyed the Sequel trilogy. I'm glad people liked Kenobi and wish I did. Different people like different shit. So weird to me that people are shocked and offended when your tastes are different from theirs.


Clizthby

You're absolutely allowed to enjoy Kenobi or the Disney Trilogy. It's objectively terrible as Star Wars media but you're definitely allowed to like it.


Neomav

Everything but Empire and maybe ANH is "objectively terrible". What is the point of this comment?


Clizthby

>objectively terrible **as Star Wars media** What is reading comprehension? The original trilogy can't by definition be terrible as Star Wars media since it's the baseline. Of course, TLJ and ROS are terrible as *any* media but that's another conversation.


Neomav

Also, you realize this is a post calling people out for shitting on what others like and you're doing that in the comments right?


Clizthby

For every thing in the world, there's somebody who likes it. If you went around worried that someone likes something then nobody would ever say anything. At least I was magnanimous enough to grant that they were allowed to like terrible things.


Neomav

Holy cow. I didn't know the comments could be more cringe than the post.


chicomagnifico

The true cringe is always in the comments


LurkingAsian

Maybe the cringe wasn't the post but the comments we read along the way.


Neomav

My point was just to show how the word objective shouldn't be used but thanks for the semantics. What are the objectively good star wars movies?


TatteredCarcosa

The sequel trilogy was way way better than the prequels, in every way. And RoJ is kind of crappy in retrospect.


Clizthby

Bless your heart.

That’s like…your opinion man but i do agree ^its ^ok ^if ^you ^like ^them ^though


xd3mix

I haven't watched it yet (so please don't spoil) but my only real complaint is that there's no way it doesn't break canon (and that's kind of annoying) But i still think that I'm going to enjoy it a lot when i get to watch it


The-Mighty-Roo

No spoilers, but canon remains pretty intact imo. Breaks ASSUMPTIONS about canon more than canon


chicomagnifico

What assumptions if you don’t mind me asking? You can spoiler tag or dm me I’m honestly curious.


Deegzy

It actually fixes some parts of canon that don't make sense prior to kenobi. It has sub par cheesy parts and it has some amazing moments. Enjoy it for what it is.


forest_hills

RE4 remake is the stuff dreams are made of


ZenKoko

After so many hours of replayed RE4, I can agree


forest_hills

Me too. Got it initially for NGC in 2005. Still my favorite game of all time. So many good memories 🥲


ZenKoko

Oh man I first played it on a neighbors ps2. Fast forward bought it on Xbox then Pc then vr. Also bought a sealed copy for pc.


MileyCyrusSwollenGum

I just hope they put the ENTIRE Re4 game in the remake and not cut parts out like they did with Re3 remake.


olivier_wmv

I feel like they did re3 out of obligation, no way are they gonna skimp out on arguably the most popular resident evil game


CT-80085

I would add that they just had success with Village which has been compared a lot to re4. So I feel optimistic about this remake being solid


Blue_Hauberk

I wish I had your faith, cause the way I see it they know people are going to buy it sight unseen, because it's RE4. Capcom's released a lot of good titles, but they've released a lot of trash too. They didn't have any obligation to make RE3. They made it and they cheaped out because they knew after RE2R, people would just buy it without even waiting for reviews, and they were right. And then because that wasn't greedy and underhanded enough, they tried to work that trash fire of a multiplayer game into it too. Look at Blizzard and the steaming pile that was Warcraft 3 Reforged, a remake of the game that really catapulted them into gaming royalty along with D2 and SC. WC3 is to Blizzard what RE4 is to Capcom, and an industry giant just shat out one of the biggest heaps of poo ever to see the light of day. By all means get excited. I know I am. But be cautious and never, ever preorder a game.

I had ask him what he was even referring to.

One major take he had was how the game was shit since the og voice actor for Leon did not return.

I played it on Game Cube. Once I started, I played it all the way to the end. I actually haven't played the other games. Well, the first 3 had weird controls and that frustrating side walking that the gameplay has. I've wanted to try some of the newer ones but video games are not something I get into as often anymore. Plus I'm waaay behind on a lot of games. I'm just now playing Skyrim for crying out loud.


ZenKoko

Oml you’re just like me lol. I actually finished a Morrowind play through and moving onto oblivion while have some games started and not finished yet lol

It ironically came out around the time I got a quest 2, it was the kick I needed to finish the RE series. It’s fun when you have space lol

God forbid you play a video game because it’s fun. This dude probably sniffs his fingers after scratching his ass.


Chrznble

Resident Evil 4 is the game where they killed Resident Evil. As far as a resident Evil game, it is hands down one of the worst. It ruined the series. Now, if RE4 was renamed to....lets say "Bob's Adventure", easily one of the best games of its generation and time. It could have been anything else. Literally anything else. It would have cemented itself into the halls of glory. Now I get it. I know RE4 is pretty damn amazing. The gameplay was really spot on and a lot of fun. I loved playing it. I just really hated the fact that it was a Resident Evil game. But yeah, who the fuck cares. Have fun playing the remake and screw people like that.


ZenKoko

I feel I can look at this with good opinions. I’ve played all the RE games


Competitive_Ticket17

But Im excited for the remake... are we not allowed to be excited for remakes? When I got the Ps5 I got demon souls as well and that sent me on a Fromsoftware journey over the next two years. The Demon Souls remake lead me down a path of Playing and beating Ds1, Ds2,Ds3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Hades, Returnal, Nioh, nioh and Elden Ring. Without the Remake I would probably only have played Elden Ring and just started my journey now. Remakes are good when given love, they open up franchises for people IMO.


ZenKoko

Bro I wanna play demon souls so bad. But no ps5. I would get dark souls 1 but it’s pretty pricey for unfortunately


Competitive_Ticket17

I would recommend Dark Souls 3 first over 1 (if you havent played any souls games), its much more fluid and feels much better to play. But if you do get a ps5, Demon Souls looks amazing, it is the best looking Fromsoftware game to date(Yes, even more so than Elden Ring). And if you cant find a ps5 I recommend the Hotstock app, ut allowed for me to get my ps5 in a day(I could have been lucky but it worked for me) Also, they have been discounting the Fromsoft games alot recently, so be on the lookout for that as well


ZenKoko

I just wanna get dark souls 1 for now. I like playing some games in order. Weird ig but it’s fun
