9 got me to replay the other parts in the series, i enjoyed all the remakes
love to see it
Played this after borrowing the PS1 for a few days back in 1996 and was hooked instantly. I then bought the PS1, Resident Evil 1, 2 & 3, and street fighter (of course)…..Alas I entered into the rat race/grew up in 2002 and didn't play again. Ironically I am looking at the PS5 pro and the remake of my most favourite game ever Resident Evil 1.
Thanks to Moni, Koshi and Masato for speaking to me!
BBC trying to appear hip and cool by making gaming videos LOL
RESIDEN✝️ EVIL = 🟥👹🟥🏃➡️
Leon S. Kennedy. From 21 year old Rookie to a 51 year old Veteran. ☣️
If the UN or only the nuclear powers come together and make an agreement that atomic bombs will only be used against nuclear powers, then whoever launches a nuclear attack on a non-nuclear power, then all the nuclear powers will have the authority to attack this tyrant together. Then the world can avoid nuclear war. Otherwise, America will test the atomic bomb again because its bomb is so much more powerful than the bombs of others.
RE9 was the first RE I’ve played since RE1 – it is a masterpiece
Hisashiburi yade!…Shut out to Tofu 😂.
Cause zombies was always cool before TWD. And there was a time Capcom made the best games.
Well, currently Resident Evil is one of the best in survival horror. Capcom is in a new golden age, and I hope it lasts much longer and they don't revert to being like Crapcom. Also, in my personal opinion, I enjoy them a lot because they don't last 50-70 hours; they lend themselves to short and enjoyable stories.
LISTEN!
Masks cause horrendous pollution that hurts our environment very much. Google: Disposable face masks used during Covid have left chemical timebomb.
Seeing Leon brings bitter sweet memories. I had xp with Motion Capture and in late 2015 was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the RE2 Remake. I failed to mention I got a voice acting background, lost the part and can't forgive myself for wasting an opportunity. Part went to a Romanian model Eduard Badalauta who did a good job I think.
Why do people still pay the licence fee/poll tax!?
The US won in Venezuela and Cuba, so it moved towards imposing a government in Iran (but encountered a tough obstacle). The more it destroys infrastructure like electricity and water, the less Iranians will like the US.
– Iran should allow oil tankers from Asia, Africa, and Europe to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian people should be given more freedom.
Because it has a unique soul unlike many modern games.
Resident Evils are my confort games, the dynamic is so good…Its so catchy for me, you can replay and enjoy many times.
