Games that saved franchises you were losing hope in. Ill start.

I appreciate they added the horror back in, but doing a complete reboot with completely new characters and being disconnected from prior events felt... disingenuous.

There is nothing wrong with the OG characters. They just need to be in good games and the devs should look towards the earlier games for inspiration, particularly REmake and RE2, where tension and zombie and creature designs were top tier.

RE4 reinvented the series and it did it admirably; the only shame is that they couldn't competently use the framework it provided for the sequel games (RE5 was basically RE4 in co-op mode, and RE6 was all kinds of hot garbage, while the REV games feel more like bland iterations of 4 with simplefied combat and level designs).

Well first its not a reboot and frankly RE needed to do something new disconnected from the usual RE stuff.
Plus its almost impossible to make a scary RE game with the old cast their all far too overpowered now to be scared playing as them.

So much this. A breath of fresh air in all the chaos that is the vidya industry. Also made me regain hope in Japan again, after over a decade of shit games from the east.

>generic animu: the game
>dark souls #165
>sotc: zelda edition
>yakuza #134

yeah, killing it

>>382559771
Nioh maybe and Zelda, but I can't say Nier was impressive at all, because the gameplay and story was kind of bland.

Yakuza should just be put to rest desu.

>>382560002
Dark souls as a genre only has 6 games

>/v/ is so contrarian it hates the best game to come out in years.
Why am I not surprised?

>>382560575
>being realistic and having standards is now being contrarian

We get it, you love your skirt-blowing simulator. Don't try to make it more than it is.

>>382560575
Because the ''best game to out in years'' is still setting the bar too low

lol. I'm having a better time playing PUBG and I can think of better games than that, just this year.
