And I will help you.

Fascinating. Shotguns seem to be a designer's bane in terms of retaining the inherent RNG-ness of pellet spread while keeping stuff consistent.

If only they didn't add DRM... like... why?

Holy... I never noticed that! Nice!

My fav thing is how his knife is ducktaped to his holster. I like to think Leon saw how Claire kept her knife on her shoulder in RE2 and adopted it himself.

Nicely done!

I don't think it's the Iframes. I think it's the move's tracking. The part where the dash transforms into a punch seems to fizzle out. Maybe under certain conditions the tracking fails? Like how A&R's forward rush sometimes fails to click and you end up doing a similar spin around?

"Get readyyyy... Sugarrrrr!"

He was in fact... not ready for what followed.

Eh... to be fair that was gaming in general back then... to an extend. Also they did give you the option to autoaim or not later. Some people prefer no autoaim exactly because they don't want that quick facing and prefer manual aim.

RE1 removing auto-aiming at enemies when you press the lock on for the western release was vile. That feature alone adds quite a bit to the tank control movement letting you reposition fast instead of dealing with the slow turnspeed.

The Odd Case for Military Horror Horror is meant to scare you. It is meant to shake you, unnerve you, disturb you… from the comfort of your own seat. Whether it’s a novel…

Finally got this one out the door.

Capcom made a 3 minute live action commercial for RE9 and it’s more emotionally impactful, stronger narratively, and respectful to the source material, than 7 fucking movies and 8 hours of tv. Holy shit.

Still up to this day one of my top 5s and one of the first games I install on a new PC, even if I just stare at the desktop shortcut for months.

Most likely. Not sure if cancelling the portal spawning cutscene also has something to do with it.

Had this happen to me on several times. Thankfully leaving and resuming BP fixes it. Quite rare though.

Ctulhu and the soldier with a thousand yard stare edited in a way to imply the soldier's condition is due to seeing the creature.

Starting to write about games (and I guess stuff that I like) again is a double edged sword. On one side I stress out on stats for some reason, but I also got the satisfaction of just doing it for fun for once. Also being a nice creative outlet as well ofc.

Sneak peek for the next article.

The combination of DMC fans who haven't touched another action game and NG fans who still ape up Itagaki's marketing antics as actual opinions is a toxic one.

And it will keep on going until the end of time itself. It's just one of those rivalries people somehow still care about for some reason.

Fair point.

Ofc you can always fill up that time with taunts, RGs and ranged attacks.

First time I've heard someone complain about the knight's air time. I do keep forgetting that detail about the bishop's balls though. No wonder I can never learn how to RG them properly smh.

I don't think they even knew enemy step would turn out this way during development and it was too late later

Silent Hill combat sucks, so what? This article is somewhat of a semi-sequel to my previous one on combat in horror games, which you might wanna check out before reading…

Second article. Still have no idea what I'm doing with all of this. Keep chugging along I guess.

Short write up on combat animations in Bayonetta 1-2-3 and maybe a slightly different perspective on approaching them for 3D action game design.

I think I managed to make it pretty concise and easy to follow...

Horror Games and Combat Combat in horror games is a contentious topic and always has been. That in itself is further complicated by the constant change of what is…

So... I am back to writing about games after half a decade... and in English this time. Let's see where this will end up.

Silent Hill in a foggy Eastern European town would legit go hard.

Only problem is people won't be able to tell what's the Otherworld and what's simply rotten Soviet era architecture.
