@Th3solution Ah, I only played Claire B so I had no idea! I just assumed that Leon being a police officer and all would be interacting with Marvin and like I said, I didn’t see him much at all as Claire in route B but I didn’t see him as Leon either so it must be more of a route difference than character difference.
Made it through the first phase of the police station with Leon B and to the first boss fight now.
Like everyone has said, this part has been essentially the same as the A route but different enough to be still engaging due to enemy and item placement. The biggest difference to me (other than playing as Leon who has a slightly stronger handgun and a weaker but more utilitarian secondary weapon in the shotgun, and has more limited inventory space) is that blasted Mr X. Sheesh, he is much more aggressive this go around once he starts following you. Seems like I was able to avoid him a lot easier my first run. Now I’m having to spam the save rooms quite often as safe spaces until he loses interest for long enough to dart the other way.
Anyhoo, I plan to keep playing as I still very much enjoy it, but not sure if I will be able to progress enough this weekend to complete it the second run. Probably won’t quite get there this week.
It looks like I’m probably the only one left playing the second run (unless your disc ever got working @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy ), so @nessisonett feel free to move on to the next game if you wish. Not sure if there was another game chosen yet. Or perhaps everyone wants to just chill with their PS5’s for a while and game club will have to be put on hold. Whatever you decide. Just a thought here —I recall DMC5 was a game that was kicked around as a possible club game and the PS5 special edition comes out in 2 weeks. Perhaps PS5 people and PS4 people could both be included (sort of how RE2 worked out this month with people playing the PS1 version alongside the remake). I don’t have a particular preference as I’m not sure personally if I will play DMC5 since I have no real experience with the series; I’ll have to see. It might warrant polling for interest.
I’ll probably still drop some updates thoughts as I make it through the latter parts of RE2 second run.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah I'm done with Resi 2 but really enjoyed it. Just wish I was better at aiming!
Keep on posting though mate and share your thoughts and progress.
👍
No idea about December's game, I was only able to join in this time as I had purchased Resi 2 last year but wussed out. I was actually tempted to sell the game but then I played both Days Gone and The Last of Us Part II this year so thought I'd go for the zombie/freaker/infected hattrick!
Resi 2 the most outright horror game out of the three although Part II probably the most intense. Days Gone is more of an action game. I had a good time (if you could call it that!) with all three and will give Resi 3 a go at some point.
@Th3solution Yeah, I wasn’t sure what game we could play just because most people will be busy with their PS5. Devil May Cry V is definitely a good shout since the PS5 version is releasing though!
@Col_McCafferty Yeah, I’ll definitely continue to drop some thoughts as I go, especially since I’m just now into the part of the second run where I expect things to really shake up. I can’t wait to meet this Ada character I keep hearing about.
I’m really tempted by REmake3 being on sale right now for $20 through the end of the month. It’s the cheapest it’s been so far, according to PSPrices.com. (The Raccoon City Ed with RE2&3 is going for $30 which is a fantastic deal to get both games for half the price of one of them for anyone who doesn’t already have RE2). There are a ton of great deals though, including DMC5 is on sale for $20 also and I’m also really tempted by TLoU2 on sale for $30. It’s the first I’ve seen it discounted.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Nice one!. Don't think I'm spoiling anything here but Ada is very cool. I think you'll enjoy her company.
😉
That is tempting but if I'm going to buy any new games it will be to play asap and I've had my fill of Resi for now. Maybe next Halloween!
Ah that's a great price for The Last of Us Part II, usually I'd say go for it BUT it's still up in the air if there will be a free upgrade on PS5 so maybe you're better off waiting for more news before taking the plunge. They're working on a MP so maybe that's due to come out alongside the PS5 version of Part II.
@Col_McCafferty Yeah, for me personally, a lot hinges on whether I’m going to be able to get a PS5 within the next month or two. It’s not looking too promising after seeing that article that quotes Jim Ryan as saying all existing PS5’s have been sold. If new stock is literally coming straight off the factory line, I just don’t see them catching up with demand for a long, long time. So in the scenario that I don’t get to do next gen for many months hence, then I feel inclined to take advantage of the fire sales on PS4 titles. TLoU is a seminal game that I feel like I need to experience eventually. But you’re right, honestly I have plenty to play already anyways and the pattern with the first game was that it was re-released in remastered form quickly on PS4, so perhaps it will get some kind of Mile Morales type treatment where the new MP content will be sold with a nice PS5 upgrade/deluxe edition attached for those of us who missed the base game on PS4.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Maybe they'll upgrade the PS4 version for free and this is the lowest price it will ever be but I suspect that won't be the case.
I bought it day one and don't regret doing so but I have to be honest if I have to buy it again on PS5 I won't be too happy as I do intend on replaying it at some point.
Ahh I did get the disc working again briefly and managed to progress a little... But then the claire disc completely broke down and wouldn't work anymore @Th3solution. Even trying it via the PS3 it was having none of it.
The leon disc worked fine but unfortunately for most the week my internet and my phone went down so lesson planning (and just getting in touch with my colleagues) was an absolute nightmare and I was just so busy that when everything went back to normal Thursday/Friday I couldn't be bothered unfortunately 😅
I've played it enough times before so it's not that big a deal...
Still I'll be looking forward to seeing how the remake differs and hearing about your adventures as Leon in the B scenario!
Apologies for the lateness but glad to hear you played and made it through both characters and scenarios @RogerRoger! Congrats on getting through it!
I've never actually played Dino Crisis myself though you can get a costume in the third resi to play as the main character from those.
Did you have a look at your version of Resident Evil 3 to see if that had a similar "arrange mode" addition or is that just the standard version of the game?

Just popped the platinum with a 4th survivor run-through. Had to use a video walkthrough for that one (and turn the sound off). I couldn't cope with the stress, damn it's intense. My chest is pounding. 😂
Right, it looks like everyone’s pretty much wrapping up their playthroughs so I’m going to open the voting for the next game. I know it was supposed to be Devil May Cry 5 but the Special Edition comes out in a couple of weeks and I’d prefer to give people a bit of time to pick that up if they have a PS5. Having a look at the Black Friday sale on the PS Store as well as other cheapish games, options include:
Undertale
Cuphead
God of War 2018
Control
Mortal Shell
Crysis Remastered
Uncharted 4
Streets of Rage 4
Ace Attorney Trilogy
Catherine Full Body
Also, Devil May Cry 1-4 are on sale for anyone who would prefer to play an earlier entry.
Number your 3 chosen games 1, 2, 3 so that we can decide on a schedule for the foreseeable future and voting closes on Friday!
@nessisonett cheers for the tag but I'll probably sit this one out due to lack of time unless it's something thats short/on my radar already (I've been sitting out the PureXbox game club for the same reason despite creating the thread for it lol)
I did write a list of short/on my radar games but actually I'll just leave it and just join in if you all happen to pick one that tallies up with what I'm playing next
Ace Attorney, Undertale, and Cuphead are wonderful, so I'll happily recommend them. I don't feel like replaying them just yet, though I'll be interested in reading people's thoughts on them if they're the popular choice.
@nessisonett From looking at what others have nominated and what's on sale, my picks are:
1) Uncharted 4
2) Catherine Full Body
3) Gravity Rush Remastered
4) God of War (2018)
I was planning to play God of War next anyways. That would be my first choice. I actually thought I was the last PS4 owner left who hasn’t played it, but I guess not.
And as I said on the other thread, I’d be in for a playthrough of Undertale, if there was some interest. I never really got going with the game when I tried it and I think I might benefit from playing with others. I’d make that my second choice.
The next two candidates on my intended play list are A Plague Tale, and Life is Strange 2.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I haven't played god of war either, I know it's a sort of soft reboot of the franchise but I was kind of planning to play the first 6 games. I have all of them on ps3 but only played the first. I don't think I'm gonna buy this new one for similar reasons that I didn't get Resi 2
@RogerRoger It was just for the 4th Survivor mode, which was mostly just about sprinting along the correct route, and knowing at what point to throw a grenade.
I'll probably buy the PS classic version @RogerRoger at sone point as it wouldn't feel quite right replacing the disc version (Due to it being my late father's copy).
Good to hear you'll be giving Resident Evil 3 a shot at some point in the future! 😊
As for game club @nessisonett... Oh lord I have absolutely no idea to be honest. I dunno what I'm gonna play myself after Uncharted 1! 😅
I was going to suggest Deltarune (That first chapter teaser demo or whatever) at some point for game club as a palate cleanser or something due to it being a relatively short experience and the fact that it's free means pretty much everyone could play it... Though you do kinda need to be familar with Undertale as it is a successor/spiritual sequel... Whatever it is to undertale lol
If Undertale is selected though you could maybe add that to the mix too?
