I finished White Day last night. The game is perfect for me both in size and length, it still had me ending at 18 hours though as it genuinely made me want to backtrack and explore every area fully.

This play through got me all of the ghost stories and I now have access to the best difficulty: Hell. Death on this difficulty will delete your whole save if you have no pens left.

I still have seven more endings to get, the truth of the story to uncover and also a good deal more of the hidden ghosts to find. I'm going to be with this game a good deal more yet as this stuff seems actually worth it.

@Sheria Hve you tried the Octopath demo?

No. What is it? I haven't switched my Switch on for a month as I hate Zelda and find the Vita much better as a portable.

I hate my switch, and that's extremely rare for me to say as I buy literally any console I can get my hands on. The Wii U was much more appealing a year on, which I when I bought it. I honestly can't believe the Switch I doing remotely well with the bollock all I has on it and coming up. Yes I want Mario, but seriously....

There were some attempts at 3rd party on Wii U, but it didn't help. Mass Effect 3 to Darksiders 2; waste of f'ing time. I also recently found the Switch has no internet browser. What a joke.

I'm not sure why Zero isn't included.

Resident Evil 2 - An absolute classic, and its use of two scenarios running side by side was great. I've beaten this game so many times that I've lost track.

Resident Evil 1 - Almost as good as 2 to be honest, in fact, some days I want to admit it is better. It has the best scenario in my opinion as it's delivers the most mystery and least action in the series.

Resident Evil 3 - So similar to 2 really, but that doesn't really hurt it as a game, just its initial and overall impact.

Resident Evil 7 - A really good return to form for both the series, and the genre in a way. Yes it is first person, but they put the "Adventure game" back into what clearly had turned into a simple TPS with 4. VR is just icing on the cake.

Resident Evil 5 - I kind of put this on par with 4. To complain about the reduced horror in comparison to its predecessor is silly in my opinion, 4 barely covered that area either. In comparison, its co-op let it down, but its story relevance this time took it up. Overall though, it is that story aspect as well as Wesker's appearance that makes me put it above 4.

Resident Evil 4 - Stand alone, I really like the game, but it still kind of killed the series. To remove the exploration, backtracking and searching for key items took away the best aspects of the genre for me. To add to that injury though was the fact that the beta version of RE4 (with the ghost-hook guy) actually looked really good. Overall, I'm just never going to like a TPS over what we call "traditional" survival horror games.

Resident Evil 6 - Dire, from start to finish.

I would, as I was a huge fan of the original. It's absolutely pathetic though that the only physical copies were limited to 1000 collectors editions. I'm just going to wait and see what happens.

Having just started Farscape again, it's sad to see how much Claudia has aged

The best Zelda game is called Alundra :)

Link to the Past is better imo, but close.

If I were to praise this then I would have to agree it's positive to frequently reboot just about everything,

Because context doesn't exist and all things are either inherently either good or bad?

Of course it does, it's why I said JUST about everything. Problem I have is, as you have also said, the main benefit is for people who can't be bothered to go back a bit.

@SabotageTheTruth said in Should I pick Kiwami or waith for a price drop on O?:

It feels strange to condemn a company for adding value to their product and allowing more people to experience it. It's not as though they're forcing in microtransactions or changing the story entirely.

Rebooting something will always have an effect on the integrity of an ongoing narrative

I don't see it as a positive. If I were to praise this then I would have to agree it's positive to frequently reboot just about everything, just because there are dsome people that can't be bothered to go back a bit. I don't agree with that in movies, and I certainly don't agree with that in games.

As for prequels, I believe they benefit from the way they are written. This goes for the likes of RE0, Birth by Sleep or even the movie Prometheus.
