What I find creepy is how you can play as the nazis in those games. It's only a matter of time before we hear the "You know while Hitler was evil, you gotta respect that he was a GENIUS military commander." We all know this person. And we are tired of talking to them.
...you have no idea how much I envy your life right now. I have had this conversation with THREE different people. Now Bizmarck, there was a ruler.
Oh it definitely exists.It's just friggin terrible from what I've heard.
I have to agree. Code Veronica X was probably the high point of the "classic" style games.

Four left behind the core story, the frights, and the puzzles. It was okay, but it didn't seem like RE.
My favourite Resident Evil was actually 3.
Could never finish Code Veronica, and just didn't care about it after that.

Doesn't make it any less of a Resident Evil title, but yeah, I get your point.
I enjoyed features of RE 3 more than RE 2, but I never finished 3 and have finished 2 with both Leon and Claire. I haven't played Code Veronica though I do have a copy. I barely got past the third room in RE: Director's Cut. I have played the hell out of RE4 and still enjoy playing it. I don't know how to rate it as a "Resident Evil" game, but just as a game experience, I really enjoyed it.
WW2 FPS games have been done to death twice over. Final Fantasy could use a rest. Now, I really enjoyed X and XII - probably my favorite of the series - but I haven't heard great things about XIII, mostly that it's extremely linear and kind of boring, and the MMO installments haven't done too well either. I can't say that first hand, as I don't generally play MMOs.
Now, Final Fantasy Tactics on the other hand... well, I've only played the original. But it's still one of my favorite games. So more of that, yes please.

I thought RE4 was a great experience because they managed to preserve a lot of feel of the original games while making it eminently more playable, while starting a new (though slightly related) storyline.
The storyline may have been a serious departure from the main series, but after CV Umbrella was mostly destroyed and Wesker was underground. In a world where you can make zombie-viruses from an natural organism, it's not remotely strange to discover other kinds of similar organisms. Setting up a new direction for the same characters to take was a good plan. RE5, much as I liked it, was the first one I would say was definitely not really in line with the main series, despite it being nominally closer to the main storyline.
I felt Dead-Rising should have died the moment New-Vegas came out. It felt soooooooooo pointless.
A lot of hardcore Fallout fanboys seem to hate Fallout 3 actually. They claim the writing is subpar with the rest of the series, but as far as I can tell they just missed having the NCR in it.
Sorry, I thought the sequel to Dead Rising was called New Vegas, I forgot the name. Fall-out's an okay series from what I've seen.
Dead Rising's sequel is called
Brace yourself
Dead Rising 2
Brace yourself
Dead Rising 2
Slow down. Let me write that down.

Okay, can you spell that out for me? D.. E...?

HUH! I thought it was one of those tacky sequels that didn't have a number attached to it. The scary thing is I've PLAYED this game. My memory sucks big time.
No, the Dead Rising: Off the Record thing was a re-imagining of Dead Rising 2, but with Frank as the lead instead of Chuck. It had an all new area, new survivors to rescue, some new bosses (including Chuck!), and an all new story. You can also have Chuck as your co-op buddy. It's quite a bit sillier and sort of feels like Frank made it all up to sell books.
Wait...so was Dead-Rising 2 non-cannon? Cos you said "Off the Record" was a reimagining.I'm confused.
It's a fair bet that Off the Record is non-canon, as it's mostly the same events as Dead Rising 2, but with Frank instead of Chuck as the main character, different people are innocent/guilty, and different people die. The main story goes off the deep end at the end (The boss is someone driving a giant robot in Uranus Zone). Dead Rising may be more silly than serious, but it's not THAT cartoony.
Right now the canon for Dead Rising is...
- Dead Rising (Outbreak in Willamette)
- Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Outbreak in Las Vegas)
- Dead Rising 2 (Outbreak in Fortune City)
- Dead Rising 2: Case West (Chuck and Frank break into the Phenotrans facility to get evidence of the companies' malfeasance)
Dead Rising 3 has been announced as well. It's about an outbreak in Los Perdidos, California and stars Rick, an auto-mechanic. He's trying to restore a plane to escape before a bomb destroys the ruined city.
Weird. Megaman. This series should have stopped a looooooooooong time ago. I mean come on, ZX? Now your just tryin' to hard.
