Flying was cool though as was getting to see more ruined cities, especially Vegas, which was fanfuckingtastic!

The first game was really good. The second game is visually better, but I think it is too long. I think Forbidden West is a much more difficult game and there are more Bosses. However, I liked that part because these Bosses reminded me of the old games. In general, the first game was more organized and the scenario flow was better. The second game is based on more bosses and a complex world.

The visual feast in the Vegas episode was magnificent.

I played through RE8's Shadow of Rose DLC today. It took me just a little over 3 hours to beat it and I thought it was quite good overall. I heard a lot of bad things about this adventure and I'm honestly not sure why. I mean okay, the final boss was a lame rehash and the ending was just the epilogue from the game (which still doesn't make sense), so that was kind of lame, but the game itself was very creepy. I also liked how each section was quite different with the middle one, revolving around giant dolls and Weeping Mannequins being fucking scary as all hell. I loved every second of it. I wish there had been more of that.

Oh, there was one really annoying thing though. Ethan shows up in the game and they intentionally block you from seeing his face, which is freaking annoying. Like what is so special about Ethan that you can't show us a full blown head shot? It also made the camera angles look out of place. My wife was watching me play the game and started to think he was so big known character in the RE universe whose identity was being kept hidden since that is a typical anime thing to do when they want there to be some grandiose revelation later on.

I started Ada Separate Ways today. Well, I've gotten through the first 6 chapters, so it's really more than just started. There's a lot of things I really like about it and it was cool how Capcom carried concepts over from the original game that was not present in the remake. The way it was done made it clear that this is why certain aspects were witheld, which works since it only means there are a couple of areas Ada visits that are in the main game. If there is anything to nitpick on it, it is how the placement of time doesn't always make sense. Sometimes it seems like she gets to an area way too long after Leon should have already been there or the exact opposite where Leon is like instantly where she is even though there is no way in hell that would be possible. The boss battles are a real pain in the ass though, especially once specific boss in the fifth chapter. Worst part was there is no checkpoint between the forms of the boss, so if you lose to Part 2, you have to redo the whole fucking battle again, which was very tedious.

I got the steam controler so i play Street Fighter V like crazy now. But i am not good enough... I played 14 hours so far but couldn't go beyond Ultra Bronze rank on ranked match... :/

I finished Separate Ways. Turned out the last chapter was less than an hour long. :lol

Although, I did have to buy the rocket launcher becasue Ada's final boss seemed pretty impossible to defeat otherwise. I got my ass handed to me worse than I did with the dude in Chapter 5. Overall, it was a great game that complements RE4 quite well. I do look forward to whatever they have next be it a remake to RE1, CV, or RE9.
