Is it because homophobia or because it’s a migraine-inducing aesthetic eyesore?

Communist Party of Ferngill cadres being confused when I enthusiastically accept the nationalization of Granddad’s farm

Wondering if there’s a good, concise book like this which tears apart the myth of private railroad market efficiency in the 19th and 20th centuries (which is a common one Lolberts try to tout).

Me and my buddy Krobus becoming Co-Chairmen for the Pelican Town Workers’ and Farmers’ Commune

That’s also something annoying since it (along with the Prairie King) implies the existence of guns when I’m risking my neck against eldritch horrors in Skull Cavern and Ridge Forest with a dinky little sword.

I used to rationalize this as the two countries preferring not to shit where they eat and duking it out over small tracks of land elsewhere of strategic and economic importance (like an unmentioned archipelago). Then SVE ruined it by adding a Gotoran character (Olivia) who’s worried about her relatives back home.

Would be nice, if there were a class traitor kulak path, to have an option where you amass large amounts of political-economic power and capital-strike the government into peace but I’m probably putting more thought into something the creator intended to be a cheap Iraq/Afghanistan vet analogue with Kent.

Counterpoint: Those little bastards made me go to great lengths to get five different varieties of manure for their stupid bundles so fuck em

P4R adding the ability to slap and/or romance Yosuke

All I’ll say is that RE6 is definitely a game for one who’s already neck deep in the series as opposed to a relative newcomer who would get a better first impression with RE5 if they’re looking for raw action. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Part of RE’s charm is that it actually feels like a universe where straight survival horror a la RE1/RE7 and the pure campy John Woo-aping goodness of the CGI movies can coexist. Only that RE6 is weighed down by other things which might get tiring.

and finally landed back in the crowd-pleasing sweet spot for RE8 (which I absolutely adore and beat like half a dozen times).

Funny thing is that I actually prefer RE8 to 4 (though I played it first). I would consider close to perfect if it were a good bit longer and didn’t kill off the entire villager cast in the first 30 minutes.

I also enjoyed RE3R, although it’s not quite as good as RE2R and a bit on the short side.

It’s a fantastic game on its own merits. Maybe it can get a rerelease pumped full of content someday and people can appreciate it…

Wolf 2 isn’t as good as 1/TNO and TOB but is still fun and worth a playthrough.
