Makes no sense.
Yeah RE5 is easily the most replayable.
Capcom always makes their games replayable. Its something they thought about since day 1.
I would've thought being short helped make it replayable?
>started the brown and piss era of gaming
fuck this shit game. Imagine how beautiful 7th gen games would've been if it wasn't for RE4 and NFS MW.
Funny how the brown&bloom era was the peak of the console vidya industry
the early 7th gen (2005-2007) was peak 3D gaming. the late 7th gen was just COD FPS goyslop. and it was great IN SPITE of brown and piss
the brown and piss era of gaming
that era started with all the stupid fucking military shooters
The biggest problem with brown and bloom shit era was they forgot to have contrast
Devil May Cry 3 has mostly monochrome brown or grey levels and people forget this entirely because of how well the enemies and characters have bright defining colors
Gears tries this with the bright blue LED's of the cogs and the bright red and yellow lights of the Locust, but it's mostly tiny little flairs on brown ass game
Even RE4, for such a brown game, has the excuse of most of the enemies having a weird dark blue tinge to their clothing and super bright skin to pop out on the background, once you see it you can't unsee it.
But games like Resistance 2? Modern Warfare 2? Killzone? Bright yellow enemies in piss yellow environments, dark green splotch enemies in dark green environments, drab grey enemies in drab gray environments (with neon LEDs)
There's a real difference once games started trying realistic colored lighting, I don't think most PS2 games even count
People only remember DMC3 because the cutscenes and then they wank around in Bloody Palace. The first DMC is only an hour or two long which is the perfect game length.
And just because I'm an autist here's picture proof
Resistance 2 vs RE4 and DMC3
Screenshots are black and white and then blurred to test contrast
RE4 has clearly defined humans that are unnaturally bright, so they pop out of the dingy background
DMC3 does the same, you can see 2/3 enemies on screen.
Resistance 2 here has one highly visible enemy and there's 4 enemies in this screenshot lmao they all blend in
Oh nooo not they grey filter. aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeiiiiiiii
tfw color was invented in 2020 where did we go wrong
Weird why is my version instantly better? Must be placebo
>15 hours
>short
OP probably just plays MMOs and JRPGs
The combat is fun and you can play around with different weapons on second play throughs.
Why can't linear games be replayable?
even if it's your first playthrough
How so? It took me 20 hours to finish. After several replays I took it down to 10-12 hours range.
That's the funny part. Most replayable games are linear.
I don't understand what makes RE4 so "replayable" for people.
What, the guns? Any game could be considered "highly replayable" if you count every weapon as another playthrough.
I beat it once and left it at that, there's nothing compelling me to ever play it again, in fact there's more "that part"s in RE4 than any other game I've ever played that makes me never want to touch it again.
Almost like the game is fun or something like that.
well linear games are more replayable.
shorter games are more replayable.
makes sense to me if people like to replay it
The game's still not short enough. It might be good for a yearly replay or something but not back to back. I'd rather replay the mercenaries.
I don't speedrun or any of the junk and I'm well into double digit playthroughs on it.
The game feels like watching a B horror action flick, it’s just very entertaining even if the Island feels rushed
even if it's your first playthrough
took me like 50 hours lol
how are residen evil games replayable? i finished like 6 of them and have no will to play them again. they were great, but where's replayability in them? everything's the same, they're linear as fuck
Some people like enjoying a story they liked.
Not everyone is an ADHD zoomer than needs constant streams of new things to satisfy their fried dopamine receptors
for me is unlocking bonus stuff and playing with them
>how are residen evil games replayable?
Multiple characters.
Multiple routes.
Multiple endings.
Multiple unlockable bonuses.
Fun, varied gameplay.
I've replayed the 1998 OG RE2 some 50+ times. Only SH1 and 2 get close to that.
>i finished like 6 of them
Lemme guess... all made AFTER the RE4, no ?
Its replayability comes from how good the gameplay is + a pinch of aim RNG: unlike the remake, in the original bullets always hit exactly where you're aiming but your aim wiggles unless you move the laser. So the optimal way to play is aim and shoot immediately without waiting, and it's very satisfying. The game is also a tactical shooter: if you're cornered, you're 100% guaranteed to get yourself out of trouble if you hit an enemy in the head. And since headshots always stun the enemies without fail, you can exploit that to use melees with precise timing and hit multiple enemies at once. It's a legendary game that people will still be enjoying a hundred years from now contrary to the watered down remake with crappy controls (Leon is faster in the original despite the tank controls, cope).
The remake not having such easy reliable iframe stuns that hard knockdowns everyone within a 50ft radius of Leon is an improvement. Re4 is piss easy even on pro
Being short is good for replayability.
RE1 is way more replayable than 4 though
Short games are the most replayable games.
Also, RE4 is not short.
>short first playthrough
lol way to out yourself for never having played it holy fuck
>short even if it's your first playthrough
lie
First playthrough's like 15-20 hours and you can then start on Professional and go NG+ from there until silliness is attained.
RE4 is one of the longest games in the franchise, arguably making it one of the least replayable.
You should honestly be perma banned for lying about a game you've never played.
>game is almost completely linear
Yeah, linear is fine.
>short even if it's your first playthrough
Define short. My first playthrough was upwards of around 14 hours. I imagine RE4 is one of the longer RE games alongside CV and 6.
>people cite it as one of the most replayable games in general
New Game + is fun. Trying out new weapons and unlocking bonus weapons. Learning new tricks and shortcuts. That's a tradition of RE.
I actually never replay big open world games with lots of choices. I prefer replaying Linear Games
>linear = bad
games used to be fun, so replaying them was still fun
