Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Jesus. Good.
neocharge: um I have two more trophies left to platinum. I have decided I am going to platinum it, and I am in RNG hell right now. ah there You have to basically roll a specific, very rare enemy.
neocharge: And then you have to do a specific thing to that enemy that's a very rare occurrence. And then after that, you have to steal something from that enemy after the rare occurrence to get said item.
neocharge: So I'm currently doing that. I grinded like three hours last night and got two of the five items I need.
Leon Lionheartly: Holy crap, dude.
neocharge: So.
Leon Lionheartly: That's some Final Fantasy XII drop rates.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: Yeah, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's some Caleb drop rates.
neocharge: I mean, right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Fucking garbage.
neocharge: Yeah. But yeah, and then I have an arena trophy. I have to beat a ah very, very challenging fight. And I already beat like the main big you know secret endgame boss.
neocharge: But this Coliseum is harder, which is awesome. So now I'm really fine-tuning my team. And ah I got to grind a little bit to to level up a a new person, a new little familiar that I wasn't even using.
neocharge: Yeah. But things have been good. I'm excited to finish this game and ah get to Tales of Vesperia. I think I'm going to play right up until Pragmata, just like you.
neocharge: So other than that, haven't been snowboarding because it's too fucking hot. It was 85 degrees here. Mountains are like 50 degrees. The snow is just melting up there.
neocharge: So I'd be snowboarding in mud.

Leon Lionheartly: And you've already broken one board this year. Don't need to go for a second.
neocharge: I have.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but yeah
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: But I...
neocharge: Hit a fucking root.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you are wow. When you platinum ah Nino Cooney, I want you to post a screenshot because I'm going to take my screenshot so we can see if it's actually been over a decade since our...
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like Because I played it on p s three and I'm fairly certain it would have been over a decade.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Nice.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm just i'm curious how the other the timing is.
neocharge: Dang. Yeah. If you have access to your save, I was talking to Bo and Bob about this. If if anyone has access to their save, I'd love to see your loadout and like the familiars you used.
neocharge: It's like a fucking Pokemon team, right?
BOrritoSupreme: Dude, yes.
neocharge: But you have nine Pokemon. ah So I'd love to see the the the loadout you guys used and like everything.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I guess I could hook up my PS3 and see.
neocharge: That'd be cool.
neocharge: Yeah. Oh, yeah, you would.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): that would just That would require a lot more effort on my part than I feel like I want to do.
neocharge: Ah, that's, yeah, if you don't, you don't have to hook up your PS3 or anything like that, I guess, so. Because the remaster save, it doesn't, it's it's a different save, unfortunately.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah.
neocharge: That's okay.
Leon Lionheartly: and And update that PS3.
neocharge: but Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: It might be quicker to update Crimson Desert, honestly.
neocharge: That's true.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Dude, I do.
neocharge: it
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: That's true.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Quick interjection. i had, i was ready to play Crimson Desert. Fucking there was an update and it was the the night our internet was shit. It was the day after the, my internet was busted and they had told me, I figured it out that it was just high packet loss.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like my connection was fine. Packet loss is crazy. Anyway, when I finally got them on the phone, they were like, oh yeah, we have crews everywhere. Like, sorry, your neighborhood's just fucked right now. Understandable. At least they told me the truth and they said, hopefully we'll have it fixed a couple days.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): By that night, I got a text from them. It was like, you're good. So i was like, ooh, you know, wife's not home ah because she was up ah with her mom and and stuff. And I was back here to deal with house shit ah briefly. But I was like, I have a couple hours free. So I went to play.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): There was a patch.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it was a patch that was like 22 gigs or something, which normally wouldn't take that long.
Leon Lionheartly: but who
neocharge: Damn.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it said it would take 17 hours. And I was like, well, guess I'm not playing that tonight. So i let it update.
neocharge: Shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And the next day, same thing. I had a few hours free before I was heading up north. I go to play and it was a fucking second patch. That was like the same. I, my internet was still shit. And i was like, this is an offline single player game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): God damn it. Like I was getting so mad, but I had to update it because they had limited people who had early access to it from being able to play beforehand. So if you had the, you know, if you downloaded it and installed it like two days early, I couldn't play it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So anyway, five patches later, I finally got to start Crimson Desert. So you're right, Bob, it would be faster. to hook up the p s three actually into play crimson desert after a patch.
neocharge: I would.
BOrritoSupreme: Jeez. she
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sorry.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's my mini rant.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah I was going to say, I hit a sore spot on that one.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was ridiculous.
neocharge: I would.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you
neocharge: Sounds like it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. I was pretty mad. I was pretty mad.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Indeed.
Leon Lionheartly: But no,
neocharge: But yeah, other other than Neo Cooney, everything's good. I'm excited. Very, very excited to talk about some Resident Evil Requiem because boy, oh boy, we all had a blast with that game.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. yep

neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I will not be going for the Platinum. um
neocharge: I told you.
Leon Lionheartly: It's a grind.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And I was like, oh, you guys said it's a grind. like, a no, big deal. I don't mind grinding. And then I looked at the trophy list and realized this went to Crimson Desert levels of grinding and said, nope, I'm an off-ramp here.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like what, I mean, is it like the titles and stuff? That's usually the Tales games.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh, the titles, uh, and you have to reach a certain level character level.
neocharge: Titles.
neocharge: And you have three times XP on, and it's still fucking ridiculous.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you
neocharge: Five times XP on, and it's still fucking ridiculous. It asks you to get to max level, 200, which yeah. I got 91% of the trophies, and yeah i didn't I didn't want to do it either.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, yeah, no, I totally get it. So I will be finishing that up. And then we'll place a marathon. I'd see where things go on. But ah I feel you there. And no, i have not forgotten about you there, Alex.

Leon Lionheartly: I don't know. Can it can I do it? Resident Evil.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, I don't have the voice for it, folks.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a little short. was little quick, but, you know, what are you going
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So Alex, you got one?
Leon Lionheartly: Hey, you know what? Story of my life.
neocharge: You got one for us?
neocharge: No.
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Resident Evil.
neocharge: I'm sorry.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: don't know.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): to do? Two. Two.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
neocharge: So, fun fact.
Goatlord-Sriobix: My voice has two tones. Singing and deathcore.
BOrritoSupreme: Resident Evil.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I can't do it in between. That was pretty good.
neocharge: Nice. Yeah, that was good. ah Fun fact, that is in the game on the title screen. You just have to, I don't know, I pre-ordered it. I didn't get a deluxe edition or anything.
neocharge: I did get the digital deluxe. So I got the base game and then I upgraded to the digital deluxe for like 10 bucks or something. wanted to support it. But you get retro, like the the old sounds.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, that's what comes with that.
neocharge: And if you, if yeah if you activate the old sounds when you launch the game from the title, it does the Resident Evil.
Leon Lionheartly: really see i i saw the menu options changed and i immediately was like oh fuck yeah we're doing the classic menu sounds but i didn't realize the start menu
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah, because when I fired it up, it didn't say it. I guess, did Village say it? I forget. I think it was the same thing when you activate the retro.
BOrritoSupreme: Wow. have to pay for that, huh?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you no village just went village yeah
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Wow.
neocharge: I know. i I disagree with the delivery, right?
BOrritoSupreme: Resident Evil Village, guys.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah i don't remember i don't remember what village did
neocharge: yeah Yeah, but that, yeah, you it you can activate it and you can hear it ah if you activate the retro sounds in the bonus settings or whatever. So, yeah, pretty cool.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. No, that's awesome. I wish I would have known that. I'm going go fire it up because when the DLC comes out, I'm going to be keeping an eye out for that shit.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. DLC announced in production. So, and rumor has it that we're going to learn who Leon's married to.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Super excited.
neocharge: So,
Leon Lionheartly: You know
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's Claire.
BOrritoSupreme: Sherry.
Leon Lionheartly: no
neocharge: No, Ada.
Leon Lionheartly: you know who I thought it could be?
neocharge: Who?
Leon Lionheartly: A callback character from 4, Hunnigan.
BOrritoSupreme: The bitch from Six?
Leon Lionheartly: Hunnigan.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, it's Claire.
neocharge: Then why wasn't Hunnigan where Sherry is?
Leon Lionheartly: ah who knows on that front, but do remember.
BOrritoSupreme: ah Because she was a DEI hire.
neocharge: Right.
neocharge: Oh, my God.
BOrritoSupreme: So...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, well, in that case, Leon's married to Shiva.
BOrritoSupreme: She lost her job.
BOrritoSupreme: the
neocharge: oh Oh, yeah, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hey,
BOrritoSupreme: Also a DEI hire.
neocharge: What if Leon's just married to Jill?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I liked her. for what it's ah That would be my my dream couple, power couple, even though I would be jealous of both of them.
neocharge: Yeah. 100%. Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Is that weird? like just Just throwing that out there.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Sherry.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Jill.
BOrritoSupreme: He's been grooming her.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, that's... Probably true. That's probably the most accurate thing, unfortunately.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. But we went from the title screen to the ending of this game, so that's been small guess, everyone.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, I'm just saying he he turned down Ashley because she was too old for him.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Nope.
neocharge: Oh my god. Ashley's so annoying, though. so We're not spoiling 4. we're We're only going to spoil Requiem. Well, are we going to...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): We kind of have to talk about all of them.
neocharge: Yeah, okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean...
neocharge: let's Let's go over that. What Resident Evil games are we spoiling? Um...
BOrritoSupreme: Five.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Two, four.
neocharge: Becify 6.
BOrritoSupreme: Five and nine. Five is the main one, I would say.
neocharge: ah We're going to spoil Code Veronica. We're going to spoil 2. We're going to spoil the shit out of 2.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, you have to spoil two for later in the game.
neocharge: Yeah, and we're going to spoil some of four.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And then outbreak, technically.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The one that nobody cares about.
BOrritoSupreme: And I...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): We're going to spoil that one.
neocharge: Right. Because, I mean, Requiem is a good ah word for this game because everything comes together.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: thanks
Leon Lionheartly: I definitely agree.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But I would, there's the slightest bit, I guess we could, if we're hypothesizing shit, we might spoil a little bit of seven with the FBI and all that.
neocharge: Yeah, okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know, but just as a heads up.
neocharge: Oh, that's true.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Bye.
neocharge: And they have they have done the free camera mod where they show some stuff on ah things the player didn't even see, but it's there.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: That's a callback to some of the games, which is fucking awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hence the requiem, you know?
neocharge: That's amazing. Exactly.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So how about this?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): We'll try our best to limit it to nine, but it's going to be hard to to not.
neocharge: Right. We will.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: We will. So it's a fucking, it's called a spoiler cast. Okay. You're here for a reason. You saw the title and we're going to spoil a lot of Resident Evil. Let's just say that.
neocharge: So let's get right into it.
Leon Lionheartly: Let's do it. I couldn't have said it better myself, buddy.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh,
Leon Lionheartly: All right. Well, let's kick let's yeah have you kick it off there. um Give me ah yeah you don't give me your the the audience, should I say, your history with Resident Evil, and give me a couple of high-level thoughts on this game.
neocharge: yeah Yeah, absolutely. ah I have an extensive history with Resident Evil. I played all the mainline games, all the mainline remasters, all the mainline remakes. Some spinoffs. i Revelations, Revelations 2, not so much. But the mainlines, particularly. My favorites are 2 Remake and I mean, this one, nine is floating with eight for me. I was a big fan of eight. Just a lot of different reasons. But yeah, I'm a huge Resident Evil fan.
neocharge: Always been a big ah fan of the IP.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh
neocharge: And I'm a huge fan of Leon as a character. He's probably my top five favorite video game characters of all time. Up there with Cloud, of course.
BOrritoSupreme: Wow.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. He's awesome. And they did him ah justice in this one.
BOrritoSupreme: me
neocharge: ah And they delved into his past, all kinds of stuff. So as a player and fan of the older games, that's obviously hit way harder for all of us, I'd say, because this was a game for the fans and for newcomers.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: But don't I wouldn't recommend playing this game without playing at least two, probably remake and four, at least ah those two games.
neocharge: And this game will hit way harder for that. So I'm super excited. This game exists. It is, exceeded my expectations, I'd say. And it's a incredible entry to the series that I hope they keep going this direction in the future.
neocharge: So as a big Resident Evil fan, I am very satisfied.
Leon Lionheartly: I think ah a lot of people who aren't even Resident Evil fans are satisfied with this game.
neocharge: Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. at Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. I've been seeing all the clips.
neocharge: They had a fucking team dedicated to how Leon looks and how he would go over with the ladies, you should say.
Leon Lionheartly: No, that's it.
neocharge: Literally a team dedicated of all women. And that was brilliant.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, it works. They fucking figured it out.
neocharge: Yeah, it fucking did.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's so good for them.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, no, you absolutely hit it. And I think that's a good call out too. Two and four. Definitely play those. And ah if you haven't, why haven't you?
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: There's no excuse. Go do it now.
neocharge: Right. I mean, two of my top three games have Leon in them. So, I mean, Leon's a ah big reason of why they're my top games, I'd say, of the series. But I'm a bigger fan of 6, too, than most people. And Leon's in 6. And like 33% of it.
neocharge: So, 6 is a good game. It's a okay Resident Evil. 6 is still a fun co-op experience. And Bob and I might actually be streaming it at some point because we might want to dive in. So, yeah.
neocharge: yeah I like six more than most. so but yeah I have a huge history with less than evil.
BOrritoSupreme: Spider-Man 3 is good movie too. Might be my favorite out of the Raimi trilogy.
neocharge: What's that?
BOrritoSupreme: Spider-Man 3. It's a good movie.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): God damn it.
neocharge: Jesus Christ. Art is subjective.
Leon Lionheartly: Here we go.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You know, you know, my mom actually worked on Spider-Man three and I was asking her questions about it.
neocharge: Oh, wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like when she was there, cause she didn't know what the fuck was going on. And every time every time she told me something, I was just like, this has to be my mom just being just like not understanding. There's no way that that happens in the script.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then, you know, when the movie was coming out, and i got to go to a premiere of it. Actually, I was like, what the fuck? Mom wasn't making anything up. This is weird and bad. Objectively, though, it does have James Franco's best line delivery of anything is in the third movie.
neocharge: Damn.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but Anyway, sorry, that's the unrelated to all of this.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was Beau's fault.
neocharge: No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That wasn't my fault. I'm sorry.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, yeah that that was Bo's fault that he triggered your ADHD storytelling moment.
neocharge: No worries.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um Well, ah Caleb, then, why don't you ah continue your ramblings?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes. Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: Tell us about your history or the folks about your history with Resident Evil and your initial thoughts on this game. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): All right, so Spider-Man 1. No, I'm just kidding. um ah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Very similarly, i so I absolutely fucking loved Resident Evil Requiem. Just going to get that out out of the way. I thought it was ah very, very well done as a lifelong Resident Evil fan.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I, too, have played all the mainline games. Did not actually finish 6. It's the only one I didn't finish because I thought it was... pretty bad i did i did at the time i played it at launch too so i don't know if maybe patches like fix some of the things um it was yeah i did not i actually i think i got it for my xbox 360 did it come out on 360 yeah for some reason which is not normal i've had every other resident evil on playstation so i don't i don't know why i did that but
neocharge: yeah
neocharge: Ah.
neocharge: I played it on PS4. Hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, wow.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, that's weird.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It must've been something at the time. I, it doesn't really matter. Uh, I do remember the thing I remember most about six is the blow job giraffe box art for people who don't look up the box art.
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Look at it.
neocharge: You can never unsee it now. You can never unsee it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's a giraffe being blown. I do not fucking understand who made that logo and why other than draft blow job lovers. So just, you know, take a look. And even if you disagree with me with my, a just look at it and tell me that I'm wrong.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You can't, it's impossible.
Leon Lionheartly: sorry.
neocharge: Mm-mm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Anyway, um the only one that I haven't played was Outbreak, I believe.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: look at it
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That ah that just didn't really interest me at the time. um like Narratively, cool, but it didn't it wasn't going to push anything forward, so I was like, yeah, I don't really need it. ah But my absolute favorite of all time Resident Evil is Resident Evil 2, the original Resident Evil 2. The remake is astoundingly good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): um I think it's just because I'm old that I like the OG better, but the the remake is like the way everybody should play it. don't Don't get me wrong.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I love OG2, but the remake is fantastic. um Resident Evil 4 is arguably the best one. Resident Evil 4 remake is also arguably the best one because it was a fantastic remake, but it doesn't change my favoritism for two.
BOrritoSupreme: so
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah Next up for me, very similar, is probably 8. I really liked 8. And ah Requiem is is like in a tie for third place.
neocharge: Oh, nice.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's it's really close.
neocharge: Huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah My reasonings, as we'll get to through this this spoiler cast, I think Resident Evil Requiem is... Such a great half and half game, half survival horror, half like Resident Evil classic action.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes. yes
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Back in the day, back in like 90, was it 94 or 95 when the original Resident Evil came out?
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): um i I don't like survival horror games and I don't like scary shit generally. I mean, if it's really good, I do appreciate it and respect it, but I don't gravitate towards them for some reason.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I gravitated towards resident evil. I just, there was something about it, a little bit of the schlock. Uh, it was just intriguing. It was fun. It was it was a cool idea and I've been addicted to them ever since.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Uh, so nine requiem was kind of like a love letter to people who like both.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it just so happens that I love resident evil. So I really appreciate the survival horror aspect of it. Uh, and not to say that I don't play other survival horror.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I played silent hill. Um, I played the clock tower games like I played them, but resident evil was always my favorite, probably because of the cheese. I don't know. i honestly don't know. I think it's really fun to play. it just kind of has it all. It it gets me in that right mood.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So Requiem was was pretty fantastic. it I had high expectations and I was blown away. I thought it was fun. It's just great. It's fucking great.
Leon Lionheartly: i I agree with you there. They kind of nailed that. that that the The biggest concern I had, which was the split between survival horror first person to that third person, more action oriented.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Because Resident Evil has a special sauce that kind of treads the line between the the two genres and kind of bridges them together.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. And it's, it's weird.
neocharge: Yeah, they found a balance.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's weird because if you don't like one of those aspects, it is kind of unfortunate that you might not like half the game. And I, I really hope that people, if they do get a chance, like if you're interested after listening to this, uh, and you don't care about spoilers, so that's why you're here. Uh, and you go back and and play them. Like you'll, you'll understand what we mean. ah It just sucks if you really wanted the whole thing to be scary survival horror because like seven was no joke.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Seven was scary. Eight had some, some scary moments and they were, they were delivered differently.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But what I respect about this is I feel like it was made for me. And that's weird. Cause I don't deserve a game to be made for me, but I was like, Ooh, this is what I love about all of that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it's also scaring the shit out of me. And then it's not scaring the shit out me. Like it bounced back and forth so that I could be a baby in my basement. and not just like run away screaming and not finish the game. So yeah, anyway.
Leon Lionheartly: We'll get into those scary moments because I agree.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: It did a good job with that. ah All right. Well, Alex, why don't you tell the listeners there your little young in history of Resident Evil. You were like four when that first one came out, right?
neocharge: Oh, God.
Goatlord-Sriobix: i wasn't I don't think I was born yet when the first one came out.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He was...
neocharge: but god
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my god.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah You were 96, right?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, that is what...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, Resident Evil was a year or two old at that point.
Leon Lionheartly: that is one No, Resident Evil...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
BOrritoSupreme: Damn.
neocharge: You were negative two.
Leon Lionheartly: The original came out in 96.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, it was 96 then. Okay, I was i was off.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah so um Yeah, so my first Resident Evil was Resident Evil 4 on the Wii.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Okay, that was my first one. Um... Little backstory there, but my my old man...
neocharge: Huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's a great one to start with.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. My old man actually ah wouldn't let us kids use like the PlayStations or anything like that. So we had the Wii for all of us kids, and I wanted Resident Evil because all my friends were talking about it and playing it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: So I ended up getting the game, played it on Wii, eventually later on in life discovered all of the others. um And now here we are now. I've played one through nine to varying levels of enjoyment and most of the spin-off games.
Leon Lionheartly: Impressive, man. For somebody who's already, like, you had to play catch-up, that's really good because I couldn't imagine being a younger generation now, 20, you know, hell even less than half my age, and trying to the backlog of classical games.
Leon Lionheartly: um So definitely props for that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. I think GameStop literally just said PS3 is retro now.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: man.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So which, which was your favorite, Alex?
Goatlord-Sriobix: That?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Did you like, did, do you have a favorite?
neocharge: Yeah, I was going to ask, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: a I'm still torn on whether it's um whether it's for Requiem.
neocharge: Top three.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Honestly, it's one of the two.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Awesome.
neocharge: Wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: um Then Resident Evil 2 would have to be... Once once those two duke it out, Resident Evil 2 would probably be number three for me, honestly.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Damn.
neocharge: Very
Leon Lionheartly: That's a interesting. So then it tells me all I need to know about how much you enjoyed this game. Right. Oh, I'll definitely get into that one.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: then
neocharge: cool.
Leon Lionheartly: Damn.
neocharge: And yet you're the only one that hasn't platinumed it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Well, if you could tell my wife to stop playing Goose Game, I'd probably have it already.
Leon Lionheartly: You know what we got to do? You get her a switch to, and you let her play Pocopia on her handheld, and then you've got the TV.
neocharge: There you go.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that's not going to work out too well.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Get a pro.
neocharge: Or a portal. Well, no, you can't. She can't use the portal and while you're using PS5, I guess. Could she?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, you just got to get a pro.
neocharge: No.
Leon Lionheartly: No.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. All right. Well, that's a better move.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Working on it. If this album does good enough, I'll have a pro in no time.
neocharge: Hell yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): All right, everybody, ah listen and buy X30 so that Alex can get a pro and Platinum Resident Requiem.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you. Thank you for your service.
neocharge: Yep. Thank you for your service. Dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also because it fucking slaps.
Leon Lionheartly: have Yeah, if that's true. But somehow we went from podcast to GoFundMe.
neocharge: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's all the PlayStation.
Leon Lionheartly: It's a business write-off at this point. ah Well, Bo, Mr. Bo Rito himself, ah tell the folks out there, how much did you want to glaze Leon in this game?
BOrritoSupreme: um I mean, wanted to glaze him, but he did all the glazing.
neocharge: and
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah My, my, my, how the turns have tabled.
BOrritoSupreme: they
neocharge: yes
BOrritoSupreme: They knew what they were doing. Like, if he wasn't soaking wet in the rain, they had him tied up to chairs. You're just like, come on.
neocharge: Being gently caressed.
BOrritoSupreme: Pour honey all over him and let me be the bear.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: the
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's
neocharge: Rawr. no
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
neocharge: ah
BOrritoSupreme: and so ah yeah i I like you guys I loved Resident Evil 9 Requiem is great it
neocharge: My God.
BOrritoSupreme: I think to mirror again what Bob and Caleb said, like it shouldn't have worked as well as it did with the split game. um but it, it's they nailed it.
BOrritoSupreme: Um, I have criticisms. You'll hear a lot of criticisms, but don't let that make you think that I didn't love the game because I did. um it just it head has flaws, but what game doesn't?
BOrritoSupreme: um As far as my favorites, I mean, i we've talked about it before.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: I've played every Resident Evil except for Gaiden. i do which was on the Game Boy Color.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: um Random obscure-ass title, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Weird ass.
BOrritoSupreme: um Like I told you guys, I even still have my PS3 light gun and dead aim.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
BOrritoSupreme: I've played them all. um So my favorite game actually is kind of one of the polarizing ones. Mine is Resident Evil 3, the OG
BOrritoSupreme: um I love that game so much. and Just Nemesis. I mean, it's... when you Like, I saw a poll the other day, and it was, um like, on Reddit, and it was, like, who's your favorite, like, stalker in Resident Evil?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
BOrritoSupreme: And so many people were saying, like, um the Tyrant or you have Mr. X and all that stuff, and I'm like, no, like, it's Nemesis. Like, especially...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): that That motherfucker was the first to break through walls. he was the first to do it.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So...
BOrritoSupreme: And as the game progresses, when he starts like sprinting at you, it's fucking nightmare fuel.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, and then he would sprint past you with his attack and you dodge it, but then he'd be on the other side of the aisle that you need to get through, or corridor.
BOrritoSupreme: Uh-huh. but yeah Yeah, yeah. shows up at rocket launchers. And I mean, the first time he got the game over screen when he tentacles Jill's throat, I mean...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Don't do it.
BOrritoSupreme: That was like our, yep, yep, yep, you already know.
neocharge: Oh yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Don't do it.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah Wait, was three on the spoiler list at a time?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
neocharge: Oh,
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was very formative for Bo's youth.
neocharge: oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Whatever.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, was.
Leon Lionheartly: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Jill's my favorite.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it was.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm.
neocharge: Helped him grow into a fine young man.
Leon Lionheartly: o
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): whatever jill's ji's
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it did.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): my favorite you
BOrritoSupreme: Um, so, which is also why, you know, like, because it's my favorite, like, I really have a lot of disdain for three remake, um, as competent as it is in great gameplay.
neocharge: oh yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It's, it's, it's a shit remake.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: And if that's somebody's first foray into Resident Evil 3, it's a really fucking terrible introduction to that game. Whereas Resident Evil 2 would probably be the remake would probably be my second favorite because that game is the pinnacle of remakes.
BOrritoSupreme: Like everybody should strive to be Resident Evil 2 when you remake a game.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it's pretty damn good.
BOrritoSupreme: And honestly, my third, again, kind of the ah um polarizing it is Code Veronica. I love Code Veronica. um I think the story, like that game takes so many swings um that it's just really admirable, both with the story and it's like fighting a tyrant in an airplane hangar.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's so good.
BOrritoSupreme: or like, you know, it's bay with the door open. Like it's fucking terrible as far as mechanics and design, but it's still fucking awesome.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
BOrritoSupreme: Like there's just some shit in that game.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): is Is the dude's name in it? Is it Steve? it
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, i that was the only part of the game that I was like, why? like he was It was like it was like it was like they they watched Titanic and they just made Leonardo DiCaprio the other fucking guy in Code Veronica.
BOrritoSupreme: But the dual Uzzies. Steve Burnside. Such a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, what is this shit? But otherwise, I fucking love Code Veronica. It's so good.
BOrritoSupreme: terrible fucking name.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Other than dipshit Steve. Like, fuck Steve. I hated Steve. They remade it.
BOrritoSupreme: steve burnside such a terrible fucking name
neocharge: Oh my God.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes, that's what it is. if Okay, what they have to how they have to fix it in the remake, they have to change his name to Steve Sideburn, and he's got to be an old lumberjack.
neocharge: ah Jesus Christ.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then that game will fucking be the best remake ever.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, man.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah yeah
neocharge: About as forgettable as Billy Cohen in Zero.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, yeah, Billy.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: And this year I was thinking, wait, who the fuck is Billy?
neocharge: Yeah, remember that guy? I don't.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, right?
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah, that's right. That was his name, wasn't it?
BOrritoSupreme: Might as well have.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like Rebecca Chambers is great, but then fucking Billy? Like, get out of here.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. I love Zero, but really was very forgettable.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Get out of here.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, I like Zero too. And I love Rebecca Chambers.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: And so does Wesker, as we all know.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah, right?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that's true.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So does the captain in Requiem.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: the original Gooner...............................
neocharge: Right?
neocharge: RRR.
Leon Lionheartly: right. Oh, good. You remembered it.
neocharge: Sure did.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, we'll get we'll get there.
BOrritoSupreme: c
Leon Lionheartly: But first, shall we start at the the very beginning there, gentlemen?
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yes, we shall.
Leon Lionheartly: o
neocharge: What an opener.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, couldn't have said it better myself, dude.
neocharge: Holy.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: ah That is probably one of the most beautiful openings I've ever seen, man. Do you agree with that one?
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah, absolutely. And it it shows off PSSR 2.0. ah it It's the PS5 Pro is beginning to fly. I think we all played it on PS5 Pro, right? Well, etc sure out yeah, PS5.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Except for Alex. Alex didn't.
neocharge: p s five ah PlayStation in general, we all played it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: ah It's only...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But it was pretty for you too, right, Alex?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, you, the, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Well, once once I got past all the fucking issues and shit that I had to have Matt help me with.
neocharge: After... After have to calibrate it.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. After the TV calibration.
neocharge: So...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. so
neocharge: Yeah, but dude, gorgeous. In the streets of Renwood, just dripping with atmosphere. And you know you get the cut scene where the the CIA, your your boss in the CIA is like, hey, Grace, remember where your mom was murdered? Yeah. ah Other than the 10 other agents I have on my team, I'm going to put you on this one. So ah we need you to go over there right now. Grace is like, okay.
neocharge: ah Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I know this is really traumatic for you, but it's fine.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You'll be fine. Don't worry about it.
neocharge: Yeah. You're the best person for this job.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also, it's a condemned building.
neocharge: Yes. Get over it. ah so yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Like that, the like Robocop memes where it's like fucking dies and still goes to work the next day.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): a
neocharge: yeah Right. But yeah, just the fidelity.
BOrritoSupreme: get over yourself, Bryce.
neocharge: I know. The fidelity of this opening scene is incredible. ah the The ray tracing PSSR or PSSR.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my God.
Leon Lionheartly: The pisser.
neocharge: Yeah, the pisser 2.0. ah two point zero So this was the first game on PS5 Pro to show off ah PSSR. PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution or PlayStation Super Spectral. I don't know how they say it, but first game game to show this off and holy crap. ah Incredible.
neocharge: So they did just the the entire time I was playing this game. I was like my jaw dropped as some of the lighting. and some of the just atmosphere. right and They kicked it off with this rainy, like cloudy street.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): sure.
neocharge: and You're walking down the street and flyers. and you're like i ah I don't know about you guys, but I read them all. I'm like, all right. let's you know There's hidden details in here. and so yeah Renwood being a i don't know suburb or sister city to Raccoon City, ah starting there was pretty cool.
neocharge: and Then Yeah, I love the the street sequence.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, you're right. That was beautiful. Beautiful. And then you get into that hotel when you like you first get in. You got to go past the the the cop, the lone cop on duty, I guess, into an abandoned building.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i thought
Leon Lionheartly: And then like the very first thing you get is the kitchenette area, ah which...
neocharge: First, before we get there, did you guys look up? and i like
Leon Lionheartly: No.
neocharge: that That scene, Beau, I know you did.
BOrritoSupreme: That's the one screenshot in the game I took.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you're talking about like walking between the buildings on the way to the hotel right yeah so cool
neocharge: here Yeah, and you look up in the wires and the...
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, the wires and the high-rises. the Yeah, it's beautiful.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Truly like surreal how good it looks.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. So, and yeah, it's just building the atmosphere. Like, that's why I love Resident Evil games. You don't know what the fuck's going on, right?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: And not a lot's explained, and then shit happens, and you're like, what the, what's going on? And then it's partially explained, mostly.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it's especially since seven it's like unsettling in the beginning the unsettling feeling you're just you're like waiting for something you know and then you walk in and like a door opens and you're like fuck oh no that's nothing and then they get it right because they do it like four or five times and then by the time it is something you're just like shit you're just like run away or you know whatever uh you're running from like a rat because you're just so on edge the whole time uh that's they they've
Leon Lionheartly: Uh-huh.
neocharge: But, yes.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Thank you.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. I think Capcom does an awesome job of of playing on the fear of the unknown. Because when when you know something and you're knowledgeable about it, the fear kind of goes away.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yep. Sure.
neocharge: But when it's unknown and you don't know what's going to happen next, right? Like ah couple sequences in this game, they really do play on that fear of the unknown. So I like that.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, you very well said. the the entire That entire segment there, where they they it felt like they were throwing you red herrings ah throughout throughout that entire opening sequence.
neocharge: here
Leon Lionheartly: um Whether it was, oh, here's a mysterious note with a key on the back, or there's ah there's a cat.
neocharge: he
Leon Lionheartly: Was it was it a cat? i don't remember. Or something like that that knocked over something there inside the hotel room.
neocharge: Something like that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought it was like a mouse or a rat, but maybe it was a cat. i It was a critter or something.
Leon Lionheartly: and Maybe it was a guy.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it was like, yeah, fuck fuck this.
Leon Lionheartly: know
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. ah I love it. I love the feeling of of being scared. And I mean, it's hard. it's It's pretty hard to scare me.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
neocharge: Some of the scary parts, I clip some of my ah reactions on stream and I ah made like a, I don't know, a composition of all of them in one video.
neocharge: And I'm just laughing my ass off. And I guess that's how I get scared. I'm like, oh. So, yeah. I just, yeah. Being scared is fun. It's a good feeling.
neocharge: I like it. So.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's really cool the way that they do these games too. I mean, this one, ah kudos all all around. But when you finally get that feeling of not necessarily not being scared, but like, I can handle this.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because like in the beginning, you know, you don't fucking have anything to handle it You're just running or you're you know trying to avoid shit.
neocharge: Hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But when you can finally like muster up the courage to fight back and you only have like six bullets or a knife or, you know, whatever it is. And you just, I don't know, it's like that breaking point of like, okay, I got to live through this to see what happens now, youre to to push the story forward. and And that's something that Resident Evil does really well, even when it's with the cheese.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like that's That's something that I love with the cheese of of some of the dialogue where just like, no, now fuck you, weird, creepy, tentacle being, or you know whatever the unknown thing is around the corner. And I thought that the hotel sequence was...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): handled really well, even though it was a little bit more on rails than some of the other ones, because it was the intro of the game. with i don't want say like quick time events, but kind of. were but um'm I'm shooting a little far ahead, but it still was one of those like, okay, okay, we're in the, okay, fuck, okay.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, go ahead.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): then And then you're just going, and then the game just keeps its pace moving forward, which is really impressive for them to be able to do that. Especially bouncing back and forth between the two a survival horror and then after the hotel sequence which we can talk a little bit more about but like and then then Leon shows up and it's just a different game and a different game and you're like oh what what is this storytelling but it it they run parallel to each other and that's pretty smart
neocharge: hmm
BOrritoSupreme: yeah i think that's the best compliment i can give the game is the pacing it is so good so well paced except for for one sequence that's unskippable and it is a nightmare on subsequent playthroughs the pacing is some of the best than any resident evil game for sure
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yep
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: When they said it was going to be dual characters in the game, I was not expecting to go back and forth. I actually was expecting to play Grace's section, then Leon's section. So that was a huge surprise to me when they switched to Leon like fucking 30 minutes in I'm like, oh shit.
BOrritoSupreme: That's what I was thinking too.
neocharge: Then when I did the fucking roundhouse kick to the zombie, oh, oh I was like, oh yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: if
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did. I was Flava Flav when I did that the first time. I went, yeah, boy! i Like, I'm terrified when I'm playing as Grace.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm just, like, running and whimpering.
neocharge: right
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then as Leon, I'm just like, get it! You know, it's just, like, the weirdest ah dichotomy of of the same game.
BOrritoSupreme: So satisfying.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: but but Before that, we got to talk about the villain introduction, too.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah Yes, yes. We'll well we'll gave we'll we'll get there. um
BOrritoSupreme: Her boss?
Leon Lionheartly: What's that?
BOrritoSupreme: Her boss at the CIA? Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, right?
neocharge: Yeah, that's a real villain.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): with
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Hey, Grace, I know ah you're just a desk jockey, and this is traumatic, but I need you to go solo, no backup into a a crime scene.
Leon Lionheartly: See you later.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What are you doing, chief? Oh, me and the boys are about to get a pizza. Go scare the shit out of yourself and revisit your mom's death scene.
BOrritoSupreme: Bruce, take a breath.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay. Thanks, boss.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Where you nearly saw her got fucking decapitated.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: a Dude, the zoomed in zombie sequence was just ah so awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: They're like, here we're here, and this is the level of fidelity you're getting.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And yet
neocharge: And man, loved it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for, for people who don't know, like we, we, you know, you go through the hotel, you go up, you're, you're trying to find some information about, but you know, what the captain's saying for.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: They know this is a spoiler cast.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. But like, he you know, he sends you up there and then you find the thing, you have a little bit of a flashback of your mom and you escaping when you're younger from something scary.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like, you know, it's just like, Oh my God, what the fuck's going on? And then when you are after that cut scene, you are leaving
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And the cop, the one lone security cop, just like shows up and he's like, buth I'm a fucking zombie now. And he tries to kill you and eat you. And it's great. And then you like fend him off with a poker.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it's fantastic because it's really up in your business and all up in your face. And it's fucking terrifying.
neocharge: me
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then the poker goes right through his eye. And I yelled, fuck! this it Because like it's it is so zoomed in. And you know I'm playing it.
neocharge: Oh, man.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's dark down here.
neocharge: Graphic as fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, it was so gross, but it was also necessary. You know, like some people don't like games like this because it feels gratuitous.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and And I can understand that. Like some of the violence and could be like murder porn, but this is like, no, you need to understand the stakes. Like this dude's trying to eat your brain. He's trying to eat your face. She doesn't have her. I mean, she, I think she has her gun, but it's like in her pocket. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Cause she's just,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): doesn't think the security guard that she met 15 minutes ago is going to try to eat her face. ah And then so she just grabs a poker and like is running and fleeing and it's, and he gets up after you do that, by the way, and you just have to like run.
neocharge: Yeah,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So the whole sequence is just this adrenaline fueled chaos, but it's organized chaos. That's why I say like on rails a little bit because you, I mean, well, if you don't run the way you're supposed to, I didn't run the wrong way. So I don't know. Does he like catch you and eat you? I honestly have no idea. Did anybody fail that sequence when they played it?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Did you try it on subsequent?
BOrritoSupreme: No.
neocharge: yeah no. It directs you pretty well.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah. and And you don't want to either. Cause they're just like, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out. know, you're just running.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: I mean, they put a fucking huge red exit sign on the door you're supposed to go.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: And it's very memorable, so...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. and And other games, when they do that, people tend to just say like, oh, you know, you're just running forward.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Not this. You're running for your fucking life.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it's And it's it's just executed really, really well. And we're what? 15, 20 minutes into the game at most at this point?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That sets the tone for fucking the rest of the game.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. And like you said, with the poker, that's that set up the subvert expectations throughout this entire game because everybody knows every game, every media out there, you kill a zombie by poking it in the brain with a bullet or a poker, right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And then he comes back to life and it's like, oh, fuck. Why didn't he stay down?
neocharge: Right. So it's like, oh no, these are different zombies. And dude, the thunderstorm after the flashback, when you're walking through that lighting, and when ah you see that shadow go across the door, and dude, the lighting was amazing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah yes yes it's awesome
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, oh
Leon Lionheartly: I don't know if you guys saw us. ah So naturally people are on PC, not only Amada, but they started hacking in the game and doing free floating cameras.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: ah they
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: They confirmed it's actually Victor Gideon's character model that walks past that door, even though it's only applied in the story. It actually is him in game.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's cool.
neocharge: Which is awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, so after that sequence though, like Alex, because you, you haven't gotten a chance to really speak cause I'm here and I can't shut the fuck up.
neocharge: Just the attention to detail. Incredible.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What, uh, you know, when, when we finally switch over after that sequence with grace to Leon, I mean, Matt, Matt already talked about the roundhouse kick and we, you know, gushed over it. What,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): since you were, you were playing like, that was your first time to switch over as Leon. ah What did you make of the two? Like that change that, that diametrically opposed survival horror to let's be Leon and kick.
Leon Lionheartly: school life.
neocharge: John Wick.
Leon Lionheartly: You understand how fucking it's sitting on people's hands about school?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, basically.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Yeah. So I didn't know how I would feel about Grace's stuff. Like when the media, when it came out on the media though, like it was going to be more survival or horror esque.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then I ended up enjoying it. ended up loving it. It really did a phenomenal job of setting pretty much the tone for everything she was going to do throughout the game. um But then switching to Leon was first of all, kind of jarring and really unexpected.
Goatlord-Sriobix: But so fucking welcome. It was so nice to play as daddy again. I mean, Leon again. um it it felt great. Every single second of it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And I wish his first section had been longer, honestly.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Good.
neocharge: Awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, you know, actually, wanted to ask you guys about that.
neocharge: Yeah. yes
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and And I think, I mean, we're all relatively experienced and and skilled enough gamers. Like, that's not a brag. We just, we are. We play enough and and we we know what's up. Did you guys find the early Leon sections to be too fast?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Or do you think that they expected players to struggle? Because i I was like, man, that was over real fast. They're just like, pop, pop, run, pop, pop, run, done.
BOrritoSupreme: They are too fast.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, go ahead.
neocharge: Too fast, yes, i agree.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It was too fast.
BOrritoSupreme: So I, was like, you know, i thought, especially with um the, the care center, I was like, okay, now we're going to run through it with Leon
Leon Lionheartly: i'll go ahead
BOrritoSupreme: um So I was like okay. And Matt ran into this where he was like, oh, I didn't expect it to be over and it was done.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: he didn't get any of the lockers, like the cabinets you got to break open.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure. Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-mm.
BOrritoSupreme: um But it was really fast. But then I thought back and I was like, it actually was a great design choice. Because it can be a big negative to just have you replay the exact same area to where it would just feel then like we're just padding the game and padding the length.
neocharge: That's true.
Goatlord-Sriobix: you
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: So i actually don't mind how fast some of those sections were um because they still managed to keep the gameplay fresh and unique despite going over those areas again.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure. as As we got further into the game, at least for me, i I was thinking like, no, this is a really good, this is intentional because Leon is fucking ready for this shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Grace was not.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that that you can, like as the player, especially if being like us and we played almost all of them or all of them, you're just like, Leon wouldn't be, you know, have three bullets in his gun.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): gun Like Leon would fucking be prepared enough.
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like he, I mean, he still didn't have that much, but it was like, nah, this is the Leon I expect him to be after Resident Evil two and four and, and I guess six, if you, you know, bloat job draft, whatever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): um But with grace, you know, it was, I don't know. I feel like it, it felt authentic where she was just scared shitless and and not ready. And he was ready. He was like, ah, fuck it. Let's just go through.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Let's charge ahead. That's the Leon way anymore. So I really liked it.
Leon Lionheartly: that
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was just curious if you guys felt the same in those earlier sessions.
neocharge: Yeah, it was.
BOrritoSupreme: No, it was fast.
neocharge: Yeah, it was.
BOrritoSupreme: A couple of them were laughably fast, but it made sense.
neocharge: h And then, yeah, it would. Yeah, it just barreled you to the end and you're like, ah oh, I'll go back and like explore.
BOrritoSupreme: Go ahead.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: And it's like, oh, no you're done.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, you won't.
neocharge: I can't go back.
Goatlord-Sriobix: All right.
neocharge: Fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah You all say that, but I watched Matt's stream on his Insanity run.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: So.
Leon Lionheartly: ah And let's just say that opening scene, and there were multiple times he was like, fuck, which way do I go now?
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Because the cars were crashing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No!
Leon Lionheartly: He's like, wait, is it to the right?
neocharge: Dude, on Insanity, you have to kill people. Like, it's... You're not running past them. They're du they're so quick. They'll literally just come out of... i was like, ah, fucker came out of nowhere. Just dead.
neocharge: One hit. So...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Then I remembered, oh, I have a fucking infinite Requiem.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: But was good because remember, leot how did Leon open RE2? We know the gas station, for ah but that's more of an expansion in the remake.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: But, yeah oh, gee, he starts running into a city that's already infected.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, he's a cop, a rookie cop, but he's a cop.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And so you do kind of expect him a little bit more ah to have that, I don't know what to even call it, that that like bravery, that courage, that like, let's just do this. But even even in two, he's just like, what the fuck is going on?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, he's he's growing throughout the game.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But in this one, he's just like out of fucks to give. Clearly with his one-liners, he doesn't give a shit.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's just like, whatever, let's go, let's do this.
neocharge: Ready to go. Okay. and That was an interesting design choice with Grace, though.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: like She's a CIA agent. like To even get in the CIA, you're going to get some training. And I feel... I mean, a lot of stuff in this game, you have to say, well, because video game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
neocharge: You know? But, I mean, she should have been a little more trained than she was, let's be honest.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): if
neocharge: Because, yeah, she was...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: as ah Interesting design choice, but it worked. It worked for the story, and that's why you have to say, because video game, right?
BOrritoSupreme: It did. Grace is a great character.
neocharge: Oh, I loved Grace, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): She is. I liked her way more than I thought I was going to. i really did.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Same.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was like, yeah is she just going to be another... insert Capcom's favorite blonde female hero, v ah you know, ladies.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah But no, she was very unique, very, she grew throughout the game quite a bit. And I, I really like
neocharge: Very much, yeah. Yeah. And another another fear they played on, especially with Grace throughout the game, was the fear of guilt.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, I could ah know I could see that ah because of her
neocharge: Yeah, because she's always like, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. so And then Leon has the fear of guilt too. And I can resonate with that, man. like Sometimes you make what you think is the right choice and and people fucking die or something bad happens. And you're like, well, I made the right choice, but we'll get to the ending soon.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You mean like hitting l two instead of R2?
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Is that the right choice you're talking about?
Leon Lionheartly: he chose that He made the choice that 64% of players made, apparently.
neocharge: right
Leon Lionheartly: So I guess we're the minority over here, gentlemen.
neocharge: it
BOrritoSupreme: Right?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: But yeah, I love Grace's character too.
Leon Lionheartly: but Yeah.
neocharge: It was awesome. She grew as a character throughout the game. and yeah the ah Once you get to the care center, we can talk more about Leon's section a little bit more.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: but i mean dude did so Dynamically, from a technological perspective of a video game, a in-engine dynamic car wreck was really interesting to see.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it really was.
neocharge: Right?
Goatlord-Sriobix: And
neocharge: Was it just me? Usually that's in a cutscene, but like all that shit happening, dynamic in-engine, as you're playing, I was like, holy shit. And I got hit by one of the cars.
Leon Lionheartly: you
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was going to say, that was the most and impressive part, was it wasn't just like, oh, it's like cheating a pre-rendered thing.
neocharge: so
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): If you were too close, and if you just like were running full speed ahead, you get fucking hit by that car, and it's not great. That was cool.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was a very... And and of course, it's it's like... Not the same kind of outbreak as the original Resident Evil 2, but it was very similar.
neocharge: Right. More isolated.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was like a a good homage to that and and just instant chaos. you know I guess we skipped over, so Victor escapes with Grace after her section and he's like shooting people with some shit to to turn them into this this new garbage, which was really neat.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Which is cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): um
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: New garbage.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And Leon's just like watching. And he's just like, I mean, he I'd like to think that he just does a sigh like, oh God damn it. While he's just like, I guess I got to pop these people in their fucking knees and faces because they gone.
neocharge: Oh, this again. Shit.
BOrritoSupreme: It's the San Andreas meme. Ah, shit. Here we go again.
neocharge: Here we go again.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. I'd like to think that it was more of a lethal weapon. Like I'm too old for this shit. but you know And he just runs forward like, got to do what I got to do because i got some things.
neocharge: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: ah yeah
neocharge: yeah
neocharge: and sick. I'm too old and sick for this shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah. And we don't really know that officially yet.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: like
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, we have our guesses, but yeah, he's, he's just, again, out of fucks to give.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. when he steps out of the car, when they introduce him, you can see the T-virus coming up his neck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So they do imply something something's wrong with Leon.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: And if you...
BOrritoSupreme: Too bad the one moment in the game he decides, like, you know what?
Leon Lionheartly: and if you
BOrritoSupreme: I am too old for this shit. I'm not going to do anything as the poor nurse with the zombie.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He just stares at her.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. He waits waits three business days and like, oh, well, yes's she she's a lost cause.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's great.
Leon Lionheartly: and
BOrritoSupreme: you Yeah. ah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah And then he gives us that one-liner with it.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought you were creepy as fuck anyway. Like, okay.
neocharge: Right?
Leon Lionheartly: right
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I guess he'll get a second opinion.
neocharge: Got a fucking hand cannon like from Destiny and you're like, oh, darn it.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I only got five bullets in this thing.
neocharge: Right?
Leon Lionheartly: Claire, get down.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i
Leon Lionheartly: Ashley, get down. it
neocharge: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
BOrritoSupreme: That is one thing. i mean, getting a little ahead here, they really needed to give you a way to craft Requiem ammo as Leon.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. Well, you can buy it, and that's about it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Eventually. Like, that's way later.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But, but yeah.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: Way later. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: And it's still limited, but like, why can't you craft it?
neocharge: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Like, That game did everything in its power to not let you use the gun that is the namesake for the the title of the game.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: True.
BOrritoSupreme: but
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Well, you know, you any i don't know if you guys had that. and I know we're getting a little ahead, but everything I crafted for grace on the Requiem, I barely used it ah for because a couple of bosses I know people use.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: She hands them off all the ammo too later.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: So I had a whole shitload because because ah because of that.
neocharge: in
BOrritoSupreme: I had like 30 rounds, but still, like, let me craft it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I was way too conservative on my first playthrough because I was like, I'm going to need this.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep. It is.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i'm gonna hit Then you're like at the final, final, final thing.
neocharge: Right, for the last ball. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, oh, it's dead.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it's kind of useless against the final, final, final thing.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: it is
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was like, well, nay okay.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: Right.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: All right. Well, ah anything else anybody want to say about that opening start through Leon there?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Through Leon number one.
neocharge: No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Not Leon number two.
Leon Lionheartly: Through Leon.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: We get to the care center.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, we get.
neocharge: Uh, yeah, Victor kidnaps grace.
Leon Lionheartly: I'll go ahead.
neocharge: And that's when we get to Leon section. We don't know where they're going. And then we find out they're going to a care center ran by, we think Victor, but we find out later it's Spencer. Uh, and yeah, this, uh, this is, I mean, this is where most of the beginning of the game, like the actual, like beginning of the the game, like you could say it's the mansion mixed with maybe a little bit of RPD.
neocharge: Uh, This is where it takes place. And then,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a cool setting.
Goatlord-Sriobix: All right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do have to say, i i thought it was going to be a little bit more of a you know, just, oh, this is very similar, you know, the tropes of things. And and i I thought it was very unique. I really liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The character.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it was it was very condensed compared to the last couple of entries because you always have your areas of exploration of the maps.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And this one, it was just like grace, boom, care center. That's it in everything. ah the the whole stuff The whole area revolves around getting opening one door, right? um And i I don't know, it just, it didn't seem, it was different from what we saw in seven and eight, where it's like, oh, go to this building, you're going to do this boss, you go to this building, and you kind of do this thing here. um Here was just grace. This is your section half at it.
neocharge: Yeah. It was like a callback to the mansion and one like that big sequence.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's really what it felt like.
neocharge: go Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. ah Yeah. and then it starts the sequence. You're fucking hanging upside down. You're tied to a bed. You're getting your blood taken out. You're like, Oh, what the fuck is going on?
neocharge: And then.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And Bo's hard the whole time.
Leon Lionheartly: image
neocharge: Oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: I was...
neocharge: ah case
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Grace was sweaty, very sweaty.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: And it was rendered with PSSR very well.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: but
Leon Lionheartly: yeah yeah And then she takes the most ass fuckery way of getting out of that situation possible, making all that fucking noise the whole time.
neocharge: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and Fantastic.
neocharge: It's just like, yeah. ah And then, yeah, she just kind of stumbles. and dude, the ah introduction to our main stalker of the game, for Grace, right?
Leon Lionheartly: first.
neocharge: She has a few, but the girl, they call her the girl.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, man.
neocharge: And it was never explained, but implied. ah And I called it pretty early of who she was, but just this Big ass fucking 12, 14 foot monster girl that kind of has like snake like qualities and kangaroo legs and all kinds of shit.
neocharge: And the way they introduce her, you're looking at this zombie kind of like in in one where you you pull his head back and you're like, oh, what is that? That was a big callback to one. And you're like, oh, infected.
neocharge: And then this huge fucking hand comes out of nowhere and just grabs the entire body.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
BOrritoSupreme: So good. So good.
neocharge: And eats its fucking face. Eats the entire head. And then gets right up on you. Another really very detailed close-up scene. And I don't know about you guys, but I was just like, ugh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, no.
neocharge: Just holding my breath.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): My reaction my reaction was
neocharge: I was laughing at first, but yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Awesome. Well, yeah, you were laughing because like you like to be scared and you were like, this is what I do.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): saw the claw. It's like slide in. It's in the upper left corner of the frame. The claw slides in to like grab the zombie.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And my like all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I was like, what?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because I did not know. and then as soon as she like, you see her face, I was just like, gah! And then i thought everything was fine.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And she just fucking bites the head off of the zombie. And I yelled, Jesus Christ! I yelled it out loud and just, I couldn't believe how my body reacted next.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like my real body. I did, I don't even know. The next thing I knew i was like spreading down the hall, obviously like Grace. I was scared out of my fucking mind when she that thing's head.
BOrritoSupreme: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And again, i don't emote when I play games that much. That made me emote, and I was terrified. And I like got in this room, and I was like, is it safe? I didn't turn on any lights. I just like ran down this dark-ass hallway, and I just sat there and waited and heard the the feet, you know, the gulp.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and she's like waiting out for the room and I was like I hate this game I love this game I hate this game when is my wife getting home I can't be here alone and every room everything that I heard like the furnace kicked on and I was like just just awful but also great also fantastic 10 out of 10 no notes fuck you Capcom thank you for your service that is my first reaction to that sincerely it was so good
neocharge: I
neocharge: love that.
neocharge: and
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: nice
neocharge: Oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, good to know you could be scared like that. ah
neocharge: Yeah. Dude, when she goes in the room, like i was, I was like, can, can she come in here? And she like ducks under and she kind of gets in there and I'm like, oh fuck, she can come in here. So I turned around and then I hear something sizzling and I'm like, oh, nice.
neocharge: So I was legitimately, I was like, can she come in here? Nope. Light hurts her. And it's a good, good play on light and darkness.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): another thing yeah that's very clever for Capcom. They trust the player enough to figure out certain things in a survival horror game like this. Like they don't, yeah it's I mean, Grace, I'm sure she says something like, what?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The lights?
BOrritoSupreme: There's the book.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't remember. What's that?
BOrritoSupreme: There's the book um that you find in the side room.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. But even if you don't find it, like if she reaches in and just does that, it's not like the other.
neocharge: yes
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, you've all seen those, whether they're TikTok, Instagram, whatever, where it's like if the game was released, if that game was released today, you know like all those where it's like, oh, my God, it looks like she's afraid of light.
neocharge: Oh yeah. A hand holding.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Maybe we should keep her out of or keep her into the light. Maybe we should wait here. Like they just fucking tell you everything in these games. In this one.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You just, it happened. And you're like, okay, I can put two two together. It was a different kind of puzzle solving, which i really, really respect when when game companies do that, when developers do that.
neocharge: Right. Like,
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. and there And there were a lot of good hints along the way too. ah You said the the book, Bo, and then like when you first, because you have to go down that hallway all the way down to get the key and you can hit the light switches.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And then there just happens to be that one mysterious light switch. You click and the lights come on and then they flicker away. And it's like, oh, I'm kind of getting what's going on here.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You're going to need this.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: of foreshadowing and yet The Kind of like show don't tell with movies.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: It's play don't tell.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Very much.
neocharge: Play don't tell.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: Play don't tell.
Leon Lionheartly: Play-Doh-Tel?
neocharge: Play don't tell.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
neocharge: Play don't tell.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Can we, can we talk about this section? i mean, we're talking about just like the playthrough, but the difference between insane, like insanity versus just like the first time you played it that bitch
neocharge: Dude. Bob solved my struggle.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That bitch could sprint on Insanity.
Leon Lionheartly: ah her
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like she's so fast. It was terrifying the first time again on Insane.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: and She destroys the desk you hide under, too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Although...
Leon Lionheartly: yes
Goatlord-Sriobix: and yet
neocharge: Like, she doesn't do that normal.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): although counterpoint did you know that if you if you wheel the thing over if you take your time she actually doesn't come after you um caleb didn't give a fuck about that when he was doing his insane playthrough however i i mean i didn't think about it i just like moved it and i was like i i'm used to this i've done it twice i did it then i did the speed run and then i did not expect her to be as fast as she was was like oops that's gonna be different yeah
neocharge: Yeah, you can't... Yep. Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: and The new scripted parts with the insane was very welcome. I loved It was awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Very, very good design choice.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, they they were in their troll era for sure, the devs.
neocharge: Oh yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. But it was cool too, because like, even though you were skilled, you know, you've got, you've already gone through it.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was keeping it interesting and fresh without like, I mean, there were a lot of, Oh, fuck yourselves. You know, like we kind of rolled our eyes when a few things happen, but then you just figured it out and did it after that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You wasn't like, Oh, I have, I'm failing a hundred more times.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like, okay, fuck you too. Capcom. Also good job. like that That was cool.
neocharge: right
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that desk destruction is what got me. And I knew they were on their game. Because there's enough time to push the cart all the way, get up there, get the screwdriver, and then you can hide out of the desk and she comes in and then you can do what you got to do.
Leon Lionheartly: But that first time I was sitting there waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and then she just knocks the top of the desk off and I'm like, No, fuck!
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
Leon Lionheartly: but
BOrritoSupreme: Did not know that was a thing.
neocharge: Yep. Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, she does she'll do it.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: She'll destroy it. And I'm just staring up at her.
BOrritoSupreme: I love that.
Leon Lionheartly: She's looking down at me and I'm like, oh, crap. And that's when I found out how fucking fast she runs. There, Caleb.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: And she one-hits you just like that, too, on Insane.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Or, yeah, Insanity. So...
Goatlord-Sriobix: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): pretty sure when she broke my desk on insane Insanity I just just went like in real life I went and e had to just died didn't know what to do I panicked
Leon Lionheartly: me he's ah he's ah He's a ah flight fighter.
neocharge: Uh...
Leon Lionheartly: of Freeze. You're the freeze guy. yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, it was... I just... It was so unexpected. yeah It's like, all right, I'm caught. I'm not even going try.
neocharge: You gotta to start clipping this shit.
Leon Lionheartly: so yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i know I don't think about it until like two hours later, which is obviously not helpful, but you're right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do need to do that.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: ah the The trials and tribulations of Caleb Schiff playing Resident Evil.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Actual scary parts.
Leon Lionheartly: The actual scary parts.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because the Leon shit was, you know...
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): not to say easy, but it was like, all right, now we're cooking with the gray stuff. I was just like, I am a crazy, scary bitch. Like, I don't know what to that
Leon Lionheartly: now yeah You said that your lead or four is your favorite, see you're more lean towards the action part there, Alex.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Two is actually my, oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking to me.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, yeah, Alex.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. No, no.
Leon Lionheartly: So the question i per is, like how are you handling yourself at this point, considering you were leaned into that?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, I was scared fucking shitless the whole time i was playing as Grace, bro.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
neocharge: nice
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, there was a few... Like, the first time the girl showed up, I paused and I put it down. i was like, I gotta walk away for a minute.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then I tried doing it on Insanity, and, like, I had the whole, like, the desk-breaking situation, and I just dropped my controller.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): She's terrifying.
BOrritoSupreme: Nah, fam.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm like I'm fucking done with this game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): She's terrifying.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm never finishing this.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: ah hu
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like...
Leon Lionheartly: perfect
neocharge: That's amazing.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like we're We're right out the gate with the bullshit.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm done. like but I ended ended up finishing it anyway.
BOrritoSupreme: and love it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): no
Goatlord-Sriobix: but yeah It was glorious. But yeah, I preferred the Leon stuff a lot more. I wasn't scared. but
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and the Grace's portion of the game was just fucking absolutely terrifying the whole time.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like i i felt I felt like I was in a survival horror game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's so good.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah, that was awesome. And I played a little, I played third person first and then everyone's like, no, don't play third person with grace, play first person. And I switched it shortly into her section because I like, right, I'll listen to the dev.
Leon Lionheartly: I'm
neocharge: I don't like first person. I like third person. But if you're in third person running from the girl, you stumble in first person, you do not. And you stumble and you kind of like, and to the first person or third person.
BOrritoSupreme: But you do run slower.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah i'm first person
BOrritoSupreme: First person, you're slower, but third person, you stumble.
neocharge: Gotcha. Okay, yeah. Because I was like, let's get in the room! The girl coming after us! And Grace is like... The whole time.
BOrritoSupreme: See, in the first person, I'm like, why am I running through fucking quicksand? Like, go! It's like like in your nightmares.
neocharge: Yeah, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: When you're getting chased in your nightmares, you're like, I can't move.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Did you not see that bitch behind us?
BOrritoSupreme: Yes!
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah i
BOrritoSupreme: Move, bitch!
Leon Lionheartly: I'd be in a full sprint and she's over there just doing a jog the entire time.
Goatlord-Sriobix: The slowest CIA agent.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Well, they did an awesome job because like fear plays into the the way the character would act.
BOrritoSupreme: ah ah
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: And they did that really well. Not with Leon, because Leon doesn't give a fuck. But with Grace, like, she'll make random noises.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: She'll, like, do, or her flashlight will start shaking. Yeah, and in third person, she, like, stumbles.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Or just be like, oh my God, oh my God.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, they made two like distinct you know gameplay mechanics and animations, whether you're in first or third, and that's impressive.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Hmm?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: And you can switch on the fly in-game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It felt like...
neocharge: It's awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It felt like seven and four were just like mashed into one game.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and And not in a bad way.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like they just gave us two...
BOrritoSupreme: No, literally.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): two halves of of ah of each of those games, which was awesome.
neocharge: Right.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah It told both stories really well. um It kind of felt like ah getting the Resident Evil 2 or 3 experience where like I equate it to 2 where it's disc 1, disc 2, but both of the discs are now put together um and you got to see the impact of what the other character did or went through or in this case didn't kill or killed um for the other for the other character.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: So it both those together really well. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: but yeah Yeah, we get to the to the ah door that Grace is ah trying to get through with that fuse. um
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: And then hey it cuts right. I thought, okay, we're good. We're safe. And then we got a cut scene. And i like it just cuts over to to Leon um outside the care center, just rolling up in probably a car that's so expensive I'll never even dream to own.
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah, product placement. Porsche in the one.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Was it his Porsche Cayenne, I think? Right?
neocharge: Something like that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: No, it's...
neocharge: It was done well.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
BOrritoSupreme: it's ah I'll tell you what it is.
neocharge: here
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I know that he drives a Porsche Cayenne, but I don't know if the drive to the care center was in the Porsche.
neocharge: Yeah, it's the same car.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it's a Cayenne Turbo GT specifically.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: anyway
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Of course it is. Because Leon doesn't give any fucks.
neocharge: Leon's got that aura.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, now now I'm just curious with that cost.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That's one of those cars that you don't even get to see the price until you go to a dealership.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: so ah
neocharge: Yeah, this this sequence.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I mean, he's playing the whole game with a $4,000 watch on, so...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: I'm on the actual Porsche website right now to build one.
neocharge: Oh
BOrritoSupreme: Starting price um is $214,800.
neocharge: and my goodness.
BOrritoSupreme: the base
BOrritoSupreme: eight hundred
neocharge: Starting. That's bass.
Leon Lionheartly: And his is a custom build, so...
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Damn.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah the base model
neocharge: Yeah. Wow.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
neocharge: My goodness.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's nuts.
BOrritoSupreme: It's like in Glorious Bastards.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: you He's in the the zombie killing business and business is booming.
Leon Lionheartly: It's good.
BOrritoSupreme: You set yourself
Leon Lionheartly: Uh...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Whoever he's married to must make bank that' to get that car.
neocharge: Yeah, because he's within...
Leon Lionheartly: it

Caleb (AdmiralMerps): D's nuts.
neocharge: Because D's nuts.
BOrritoSupreme: up.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm so sorry.
BOrritoSupreme: you set stuff up
neocharge: it's ah It's a three-letter acronym, yeah. Like B-S-A-A-D something. Yeah, Leon's in the D.
BOrritoSupreme: I love you to say three letter acronym like
neocharge: No, be it it's a three-letter acronym, D-S-O.
Leon Lionheartly: DSO.
neocharge: That's right.
Leon Lionheartly: DSO, Division of Security Operations. Sorry, i had to go look it up because it was going to drive me up a fucking wall.
neocharge: That's right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Ah.
BOrritoSupreme: you for looking that up.
neocharge: I know. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Deeds nuts security operations.
neocharge: I appreciate that.
Leon Lionheartly: They play really well over there, apparently.
neocharge: but Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: he's He's walking through this pristine place.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it's
neocharge: Looks like a fucking insane asylum mixed with the hospital. And he's just like, all right, I'm just waiting for it. Just fucking waiting for it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: And then it happens in front of him. And he's like, just looks at his watch. He's like, you done yet?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: That's I love.
Leon Lionheartly: I...
BOrritoSupreme: They literally have you open up and just start. I mean, the first part with him, you're fighting zombies. The second part, you're fighting chainsaw zombies. The third part, you fight a chunk, like right off the bat.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Awesome.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Like they just throw everything at you right away.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: There's no no need for buildup because we did that at Grace.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So would when you guys picked up the chainsaw, like when you saw it fall,
neocharge: Right, right.
BOrritoSupreme: So I love it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yep
neocharge: Oh, my God.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And you were like, wait a minute. I know where this is going. what Did we all audibly say something like like, again, for me, it was probably, yeah, boy, or some shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What did you guys do you picked up the chainsaw?
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was just ready to go.
BOrritoSupreme: I paused it and unzipped my pants and then 15 minutes later picked up the chainsaw.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You had to pause to unzip your pants?
neocharge: It
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I wasn't even wearing pants.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Every time Leon was on screen, I took off another layer of clothing.
Leon Lionheartly: ah He's over there playing strip poker and purposely losing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I only started with pants.
neocharge: it makes sense.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes. Are you fucking kidding me?
neocharge: Oh, no.
BOrritoSupreme: he
Leon Lionheartly: um yeah
neocharge: i don't I don't know about you guys, but like when the chainsaw dropped, it was still spinning.
Leon Lionheartly: you
neocharge: And I mean, it tells you, but I was like, and I waited a little bit.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Then I went to it and I got hit. And I'm like, well, fuck. Then another zombie grabbed it.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: And so I ran. And this motherfucking zombie, like I hit him in the kneecap to drop him. He dropped.
BOrritoSupreme: I was dying laughing.
neocharge: And then the chainsaw basically... like I don't know. It pushes the zombie towards me, like using it as a vehicle and it hits me and I'm like, what the fuck?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
Leon Lionheartly: ah Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Awesome.
BOrritoSupreme: I was dying laughing watching your stream.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, he like, no, it didn't happen to me.
neocharge: Did that happen to you guys?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: It's so cool.
BOrritoSupreme: i yeah
neocharge: Dude, the chainsaw mechanics were amazing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No.
neocharge: Yeah. It like turned the zombie into a zombie chainsaw, chainsaw wielding rocket.
neocharge: like Usually they drop and they just like drop. and But because he dropped with the chainsaw, it dropped and the chainsaw hit the floor and locomotivized him towards me.
BOrritoSupreme: There's
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): All right. No, i
neocharge: And I audibly was like, audibly was like, what the shit?
Leon Lionheartly: why you got to learn to parry, man.
BOrritoSupreme: so much.
neocharge: so And that happened again when I used the chainsaw.
BOrritoSupreme: he
neocharge: It got stuck in a zombie and I'm like, okay. The zombie gives me a fucking chainsaw hug and is like, you're dead now.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I... That's funny.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, that can happen.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah!
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, i didn't know that either.
neocharge: Dude, I had so many sequences happen with the chainsaw.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's awesome.
neocharge: It was crazy.
BOrritoSupreme: there was just so much
neocharge: Yeah, if you... It's just so dynamic.
BOrritoSupreme: Like dodging, like even just like dodging a zombie. um Like if you dodge them last second and then you press the fire button, you do the little, like you spin around him with the assassination.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
neocharge: There's an animation.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah It's amazing.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: And it's different depending on the gun you have.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it is. Yep. No, youre yourre that chainsaw though, I never got to use it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What?
Leon Lionheartly: It's because it spins, but then you got a wait for it to stop so you can pick it up, but it's still going.
neocharge: Oh, what? Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: And then a zombie will just pick it up randomly and break the sequence.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And I'm like, all right, well, I guess I'm going to pop him in the knee.
BOrritoSupreme: mmm
Leon Lionheartly: Then I'm going to hit him in the head with the hatchet. And then I'm going to let the chainsaw spin and just, I don't know, you know, ankle clip the entire crew.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Just clear them out, sort of.
Leon Lionheartly: and So I started using it as a trap, just bringing zombies towards it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's not bad. No, when when the chainsaw fell for me, I i am an impatient man.
neocharge: See, I popped it. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, I need it. And I ran in and joe got hit twice.
BOrritoSupreme: exactly
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, fuck this chainsaw. But I was like protecting it. I was like, no. And then when it stopped, I ran up and I was like, oh, yeah, boy.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that was that was all she wrote.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So... yeah
neocharge: Yeah. yeah If you drop a zombie while they have the chainsaw coming towards you, it drops and they use the chainsaw as a vehicle to become a rocket.
neocharge: I clipped it. I like, I'll show you. I was just so impressed. i was like, what the fuck is going on? And like the sparks and everything.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's awesome.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Great job, Capcom.
Leon Lionheartly: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Seriously, that's cool.
Leon Lionheartly: I need to see that clip.
neocharge: I'm amazed. Yeah. Yeah. And they they threw it. They'll throw it at you. Did they ever throw it at you?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. They throw the chainsaw?
Leon Lionheartly: No.
BOrritoSupreme: No. oh
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Matt, you're high as fuck.
Leon Lionheartly: What?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No way.
neocharge: What the fuck?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Really?
neocharge: I have it clipped.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Wow.
neocharge: I clipped my shit for this reason. I'm like, no one will ever believe me. I clipped it. They threw them. I said, and I audibly said, did they just throw motherfucking chainsaw at me?
Leon Lionheartly: yes Wait a minute.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: you and You said this happens, Alex? Did did that happen to you?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. I've had it happen too.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Ah!
neocharge: They'll fucking throw it at you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No shit.
neocharge: They'll chuck a chainsaw at you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Huh.
Leon Lionheartly: Huh.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I guess they
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That sounds awesome.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it happened it happened to me ah It happened to me much later in the game in a certain area later on.
neocharge: It's...
neocharge: The gas station?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, that one.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay. That makes sense.
neocharge: Yeah. There's like fucking four chainsaw zombies on Insanity.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: It's never ending.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: know and then was a I know I wasn't the only one who saw this. is He gets out of the room, but you notice the latch on the door is on the inside. So he used the chainsaw on the metal bar to break down the door when he could have just literally left the latch and moved it.
Leon Lionheartly: Anybody else catch that?
BOrritoSupreme: There's no fun in that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I wondered that.
neocharge: Because video game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's like the doors in the clinic that open both ways.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: okay It doesn't have to make sense.
Leon Lionheartly: All right, fair point.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): This is true.
neocharge: Like the combination of the puzzle that Grace has has nine possible combinations, but she has to run through the entire section with a blind girl and put her in danger to figure out a fucking combination you'll probably figure out three minutes.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: If you just press the button, it shows you which one the moon is.
BOrritoSupreme: All the other machines had Braille.
neocharge: Right? Right.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah, because what? It's like ah three buttons and then three... It's three times three.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Four. I thought it was four. Isn't it Star, Star, Sun, Moon?
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's three buttons.
neocharge: Sun, moon, star. Sun, moon, star.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, but three types, but I thought it was four, a four code.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, it's four presses, yeah.
neocharge: Oh, okay. Then it would have been like 12.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Which, but still...
BOrritoSupreme: But all the other machines had Braille, so she could just looked.
neocharge: 12 total.
BOrritoSupreme: and Or even if you don't look at the other ones, you can just kind of put two and two together.
neocharge: That's right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Right.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You just like, you're in a fucking zombie infested care center. That's on lockdown. Just stay in the safe room and hit the buttons until the door opens. Like I, that's maybe that's why I would be dead.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause that's what I would do. And it probably wouldn't work. Cause I didn't befriend the blind girl.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oops.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and it's in And it's once again, you press the button and on every single one of the machines. You press the button, it moves the needle to the thing that you pressed.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like
neocharge: Because video game.
Goatlord-Sriobix: from
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: i don't
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: She is the worst CIA agent in the world.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: okay
neocharge: Right. It's
Goatlord-Sriobix: This woman has no investigative skills whatsoever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Look, man, she's a data analyst.
neocharge: true.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's it. She doesn't give a shit about anything else.
Goatlord-Sriobix: she should have known the amount of combinations that were possible.
neocharge: that's true that yeah makes sense huh uh yeah no i love the the sequence there's so many surprises with the chainsaw for me at least uh and it sounds like they threw it at you but later in the game uh and then you just yeah fucking leon i kind of i it took me a little bit to see what they were wanting me to do i was like what the fuck is going on yeah and then i saw the big bar and i was like what the
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You're right. That's true.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh yeah.
neocharge: the Because the chainsaw ended up like in a room in a corner somewhere. Because it was just flying at me and being used as a fucking tank to shiv me. And I was just like, I'm done with this chainsaw, right? So I was like, okay, where the fuck do I go now?
neocharge: And then I realized, oh, I should have the chainsaw and just take it out. And then he, in Leon's style, he uses it until it breaks, then fucking just drop kicks the door.
neocharge: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Which was very, very appreciated.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: so And then after that, what happens? ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He walks forward, gets, he gets a phone call or he calls, uh,
Leon Lionheartly: you go
neocharge: There should have been a boss fight. Should have been a boss fight.
Leon Lionheartly: No, he he so he runs he runs out the the door.
neocharge: No.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: And this is where I thought, oh, Leon's going to kind of be going through the care center. But that's when the other safety door that Grace is running to from that last sequence shows up and you just kind of like it initiates the cut scene after you take what, like five steps.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but i thought it I thought in between he was like walking up, walking somewhere.
neocharge: Well, you saved Grace.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I thought he got a call to be like, hey, this whole, this place is on lockdown and some shit happened. And she's like, get out. And at the time, I don't know that we know he's talking to Sherry. Doesn't that happen? And then he finds Grace.
Leon Lionheartly: No, I thought that was the second second sequence.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought, well, whatever.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: Yeah. I think that's when he's going up to the office. But yeah, I think through those double doors, you you save Grace from the girl. Because you think the girl, at the end of Grace's section, the girl grabs Grace and you're like, oh, well, fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Grace is just kidnapped and she's important. So the girl doesn't kill her. Cause apparently the girl can, because video game. Uh, but as Leon, you go out there and then the sequence happens that he saves her and just unloads a fuck ton of Requiem bullets into her face and makes half of her face blow off.
neocharge: Uh, I agree with Bo cause Bo mentioned this.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was cool.
neocharge: I think this should have been a boss fight.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That would have been cool. However, where?
neocharge: hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Just like in the hallway?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, that's the logistics part, but you they could have worked something, ah feel like.
Goatlord-Sriobix: In that hallway.
neocharge: yeah
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah Yeah, they could have.
BOrritoSupreme: Because that was one of those things where I was like, like Matt said, like the show, don't tell. Like, let me do that.
neocharge: know
BOrritoSupreme: Because it took a moment to get to an actual boss fight in this game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: It did. did.
BOrritoSupreme: And I think that was one of the first off-putting things where I was like, where are my bosses? Like, I love my Resident Evil bosses.
neocharge: Right. Would you consider the fucking bulldozer a boss fight? Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: here
BOrritoSupreme: Okay, that bullshit on insanity.
neocharge: oh
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Dude.
neocharge: I knew it was fucking common.
BOrritoSupreme: okay it was my like you know third time doing it, so I shot him, and I literally was like looking at my phone because i was just waiting for it to run its course.
neocharge: I knew they were going to fuck with me.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
BOrritoSupreme: and then i look I'm like, why am I still hearing a fucking bulldoze when I look up? like, oh shit. And thankfully I had enough time to shoot it
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: But then I figured out, you know, you have to shoot underneath.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: I love that they did that, though.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Me too.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, I know.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It was brilliant. like So they were on their
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I kind of wish that for all of those things on Insanity, that every time something like that happened, they would just have the creator of the game come on screen and be like, gotcha! And then just go away. Because I'd just be like, yeah, you did, you fucking asshole.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also hilarious. I hate you. Thanks.
Leon Lionheartly: and that was That was probably the most gruesome death scene for Grace. Is that bulldozer?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I never died there. I'll
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't either.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
neocharge: I saw it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What?
neocharge: I saw it but I didn't die.
BOrritoSupreme: to look.
Leon Lionheartly: you You got hit with it, Alex?
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Yeah, my first attempt with it on Insanity, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'll look it up.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Very...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I didn't, I never saw it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It is easily the gnarliest one in the whole game.
neocharge: I was curious. Nice.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, if I describe it, it's not going to do it justice, but basically the the she gets hit.
neocharge: nice Yeah. She gets fucking Darth Maul.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, she gets Darth Maul.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Damn.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: ah Yeah, and then he's like, take this and like throw hands or a gun the size of her fucking torso.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: And then when you when you shoot it, she's like, na um so yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. what With one bullet, just in case you need to use that one bullet.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: Right, right. So.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and Also, too, in third person, when she uses Requiem, it does actually have like kind of accurate recoil versus ah third or first person.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Because it does like throw the gun clear over her head and and over her shoulder when she shoots it.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And that's a massive caliber.
neocharge: It takes, what, 55 millimeter bullets?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, it's technically kind of 50 cal, yeah it's It's a so it is
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like...
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: like a desert eagle.
Goatlord-Sriobix: pretty much a fifty cow
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's firing a sniper around right i mean like like a sniper rifle of
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Yeah, yeah. it's so it's So, brief brief technological lesson. Okay, so it is actually a sniper rifle round.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's used in Ukraine for their bullpup sniper rifle that they have.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): um no shit okay
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And they also developed this handgun that or the Requiem is based off of. It's actually a real handgun that shoots the same caliber.
neocharge: Oh. Oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): damn
neocharge: I love that they call Requiem.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, it's designed for, believe it or not, close quarters executions.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: Not any anything Leon's using it for.
neocharge: Wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, that's not going to leave anything left.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Close quarters execution just done-zo.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Exactly.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, wow.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: I think he fires that one-handed at certain points.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. It's absolutely insane.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I could not imagine.
BOrritoSupreme: I love it.
neocharge: Have you seen those veins in his arm, bro? Mm-hmm. a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, the T-virus helps.
BOrritoSupreme: You should see the veins in other spots.
neocharge: Anyway.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So...
neocharge: Oh, God. But yeah, you just have this gun and you don't even have a gun at this point except that with one bullet and you just you find your first save room, your save room that you keep going back ah to throughout the entire grace section.
neocharge: And ah ah you just find a cell with a little blind girl. in It's like, oh, what?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so He had a dead dude on the floor, right?
neocharge: What are you doing? And a dead dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: That a dude.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Very out of place, might I add.
neocharge: ah Yeah, but it I was thinking like every time you go back, you go back frequently.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It made no sense. i'm like, why is she here?
neocharge: Well, i went back frequently and you get new dialogue, but like that that guy doesn't have new a new prompt.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: It's like, this guy got stabbed in the throat. And it's just the whole time. you Well, oh, does he have some? Or does is there a new dialogue? This guy got stabbed in the throat. I'm just like, ah did I think this guy got stabbed throat, guys.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: But yeah, ah Emily's character model is awesome. Very detailed. Very cool. a Very cool concept. And yeah, just that the like wonder of like who was in the other cell and why is there a fucking a hole in the wall?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Just that atmosphere storytelling, right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yep
neocharge: so And then you're like, oh, we got the fucking level bands from RE2, the lab. We got those back. And might I add, I'm so glad they didn't do a cut scene every time she like opens the door. It's just like, we know it now.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, the first time.
neocharge: And then the items.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was cool. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): First time was like, okay. And then it surprised me. The second time, i didn't think it worked. Like, I didn't... I just...
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't know what was going on. And then I saw the door unlock and I was like, Oh my God, that's brilliant. Thank you. Just, you're right.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was, that was a, just a small detail.
neocharge: Yeah. And then the items going away automatically and you getting a notification, like we're done with this.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: You don't need to use it again.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: Amazing quality of life enhanced.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: So good. So good.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: that was that was the That was the best part or one of the better parts is that item, the way they manage that inventory situation.
neocharge: Now, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um There were a couple that I was like, really?
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Why do we still have this? Like the little leather a notebook that you get later on. I'm like, why do I still have this?
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, the one that never goes away? Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. why is it not Why is it not an archive item or a call whatever it a document item?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah,
Leon Lionheartly: Sorry.
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah it never gets the check mark.
neocharge: i i I think it's linked with the final puzzle.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's not It's not because it still doesn't...
Leon Lionheartly: um ah Okay.
neocharge: which Am I the only one that did that?
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, I did it as well. It's not, and the only reason why I say that is because even after you go through and you do the playthrough to get the final puzzle finished, it still doesn't provide it with a checkmark.
neocharge: You did it? Okay. Okay.
neocharge: Right, but it has crucial information in it for the final puzzle.
BOrritoSupreme: here
Goatlord-Sriobix: Does it?
neocharge: I think. I don't know.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, because it's...
neocharge: Maybe not.
Goatlord-Sriobix: we'll We'll get into that one later. We'll get into that one later.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah we'll getll We'll get there later.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It might...
neocharge: Yeah. We get in our main hub for Grace. ah And man, just the the pristineness of it. It's like not condemned or anything. We just got came back from a condemned hotel.
neocharge: And now we're in like a care center that like hasn't been wrecked. And you encounter your first zombie and it's fucking talking.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
neocharge: And it's like doing like the the maid is still cleaning the blood off the wall. and she's like, must clean, must have it clean. And you're like, what the fuck is going on here?
neocharge: And they retain some of the memory with the the T slash V virus. i don't know what they call it. um Yeah. So and that was cool.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, the one that hates lights and you like flip the switch to distract him.
neocharge: yeah And he's like, ra yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You are skipping over the chef.
BOrritoSupreme: love it.
Leon Lionheartly: Chef, I was going to say, the chef's the first thing.
neocharge: I was, yeah. So he's like, next.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Terrifying.
neocharge: And he's like, wrong, wrong. And he's just has this huge ass fucking cleaver. And I think,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Terrifying.
neocharge: Yeah. I was like, I want that cleaver. And I was like, I'm going to get that as Leon, but you know, so.
Leon Lionheartly: Another insanity troll move by the devs, by the way. Two of them with him alone. Because you have the pattern down, and then they change it up on you when you try to sneak by him.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: So then when you come back later, and you're like, I have infinite ammo, screw this, and he doesn't drop the key he did in the other mode, I was like...
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: It's
neocharge: Right. Yeah. Because i was I was waiting for that key to drop too because it's key the pantry and it's got a locked thing for Leon. so But dude, the chef.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: like I don't know about you guys, but I was just like you know ducking down, hiding from And I was just like looking at him.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: I was like, that is... an awesome fucking character model.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's he's great.
neocharge: Like, his sunken in face and, like, the yeah really hairy arms.
BOrritoSupreme: a huge bitch.
Leon Lionheartly: Thank you.
neocharge: For some reason, they really hairy arms. So... And just the the way like you get introduced, you're like, oh, these aren't your RE2 or even RE4 zombies.
neocharge: These zombies kind of still have something going up in there, ah go on something going on up there.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: And ah they retain their basic instincts of how they worked in this establishment. So the chef is still cutting meat, and he's like, next is...
neocharge: And then i don't need I don't even know that sequence, but like how fucking annoyingly slow was pushing that damn thing in insanity?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was going to ask.
neocharge: Which is like, holy shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So the first time we got to this section, like not on Insanity, but like first time we played.
neocharge: All
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh
Leon Lionheartly: right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): how chicken shit were you guys of moving the thing too far? I was scared shitless that out of nowhere, he was just going to like turn around real fast and just like cut my head off or something.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I was like, I was like moving it an inch and then I would just go and hide and wait.
neocharge: I
neocharge: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then like he would do his little thing and then I would move it and he'd go and do his thing. And I was just like, we'll get there together, Grace. In 2027, we'll get there. i don't, I was such a baby about it.
BOrritoSupreme: I did the same fucking thing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I i don't know if you guys were, but. I definitely was.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. Guilty as charged there. ah
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, just
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Then I did not look back.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: i was pretty reckless.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Did not look.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, you were, were you really? Yeah. and
neocharge: I just, I was like, okay, so he says he chops three times and then he, his third chop, there's a little bit of a delay. So you have a minute to get back. And i just like, I fucking got to the point of just right before the chop, I was hiding. So yeah, I was reckless with that. I think he got me one time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I think I was nervous because we had done the section with the girl moving the cart.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah just
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I thought if I moved it too fast, like something would fall off and he'd turn around and be like, ah, bullshit.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know. I was just terrified the whole time.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yes
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What were you saying, Bob?
Leon Lionheartly: yeah that's ah That was the audio cue or for when he caught you. is You would hear the delay after that last chop. And then if you hid, you knew you hid successfully because he'd say, next.
neocharge: Wrong.
Leon Lionheartly: But if he saw you, that's when he got pissed. It was like, that's wrong or whatever.
neocharge: Wrong.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): a That's funny.
neocharge: Wrong.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: and And then if if you had the cart pushed enough, ah because he will actually smack it to the side if you do get seen.
neocharge: you
Leon Lionheartly: um So then you can do a Benny Hill sequence around the the the island if you want.
neocharge: Yeah. You're right. Yep. Yeah. That kitchen is so detailed. I spent like 10 minutes in there just looking at it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh yeah.
neocharge: That's probably why my fucking clear time was like 16 hours.
BOrritoSupreme: You spent two hours in RPD, okay?
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. Why would you not? Fucking just looking at all of it.
BOrritoSupreme: Because there's only like 15 minutes worth of content in there?
neocharge: Oh, yeah. With the speed run, I was like, oh, wow. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Speedrun, it's like a minute.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah Yeah, you don't need to do shit in the speed run.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's so fast.
neocharge: yeah I was just so blown away with the amount of detail in this game. Like, ah just like the kitchen. i was just looking at all the shit and was like, wow.
Leon Lionheartly: don't know.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did take my time in RPD 2. Maybe not two hours, but i was like it was like this sad feeling of going home.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, again, 2 is my favorite game of the series.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So when I was there, I was just like borderline in tears, like, oh my God, what's happening to this place?
BOrritoSupreme: Okay.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): there's like i was I was going through some things, man. So I wanted to check on everything and...
neocharge: Uh-huh. Feeling it. Oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then that Easter egg that we'll talk about ah later when we get there it was just, I giggled so hard.
neocharge: off Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Which one?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, exactly.
neocharge: Yeah, multiples. so
Goatlord-Sriobix: They're all there.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Chinese food. That's what I'm referring to specifically.
neocharge: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That one was so good.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: I mean, the introduction to the the new zombies was cool. Were you guys like, whoa, this is ah okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: This is what we're in for.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, because there's some of them that are weak and you're like, okay, I can take these guys out or push a should push them away.
neocharge: Right?
Leon Lionheartly: And then there's a couple like the chef and then the singing lady on the second floor. you You suddenly realize you're in way over your head because I saw an item on the other side of that island where the singing girl is and I immediately tried to run past them.
Leon Lionheartly: And then I got cornered and realized my mistake because I was like, oh, I could just shoot her in the knee and push her away and get out.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And then it was like, no, you can't do that with this, this bitch.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. the The unique zombies and the the named ones, you would say, the ones linked with trophies. Very, very cool.
Leon Lionheartly: hmm.
neocharge: I love that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Screamers.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. I loved, I love their troll move when, when you're upstairs and you're running and and there's like the piano with the antique coin on it. And I was like, wait, you're not going to get me. I'm not going to run into that. I'm not going to do it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause I thought maybe if you were running too fast, you'd like fall and like hit the piano or something. So I snuck up to it and I grabbed the coin and then it was like, play pla and I was like, and then she screams and all hell broke loose.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was pretty good. I just ran.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't i didn't try to shoot anybody. Because we you found...
neocharge: And you heard her from so far away.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: You heard her from so far away. You're like, what the fuck is going on? You were hearing shit from walls. And even before that, you get to the dining room and to zombies just eating another zombie on the table.
neocharge: And then one falls off and starts attacking. It's just like, just dripping with atmosphere.
BOrritoSupreme: and just
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, the attention to detail. so good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): There were so many times in gray sections in gray sections when I would just go, why?
Leon Lionheartly: And then they tease you before they get the gun.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then just run because I was scared. ah That was one of
neocharge: Nice. Yeah. And then getting to the parlor and I'm like, ah, okay. Cause I found my first antique coin on the steps of, on the city of Renwood, like two minutes into the game. And I'm like, oh shit, that's a call back to seven. Cool. But then when you realize, oh, it's a form of currency and this is our merchant, uh,
neocharge: It was cool. So, and then there's a little Easter egg in the parlor where the ah roulette table, the the only three numbers that can hit, it's one of three numbers, is 7, 15, 29.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: seven fifteen twenty nine What's that sound like to you?
Goatlord-Sriobix: A date.
neocharge: A date. 7, 15, 29. RE10. Lines up. Lines up. Who knows? But just random sequence of numbers. So.
Leon Lionheartly: That would be wild if that actually happened because like, you know, they can't commit to that date unless they're really calling their shot like Babe Ruth.
neocharge: yeah
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: That'd be fucking wild, man.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do hope it's that instead of like a Code Veronica remake, because that's far too long for a Code Veronica remake. We need that to hold us over between now and 10.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. No, we're getting... We will, for sure. I think RE1's being remade, too. That might happen after RE10. But co-Veronica...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Again.
BOrritoSupreme: Another remake.
neocharge: Yeah, i'm I'm here for it.
BOrritoSupreme: I don't need it.
neocharge: Dude, give the treatment that they did too.
BOrritoSupreme: I don't need it.
Leon Lionheartly: or just.
BOrritoSupreme: we already died We already got that treatment.
neocharge: I know, I don't need it.
BOrritoSupreme: The RE1 remake had that treatment.
neocharge: I know, on the GameCube.
neocharge: It still had tank controls.
neocharge: on our
BOrritoSupreme: Did it have full train controls?
neocharge: Yeah, on the GameCube.
BOrritoSupreme: I thought it was i thought they were pretty smooth.
neocharge: They were smoother, but it still had tank controls. It wasn't over the shoulder.
BOrritoSupreme: um Okay. Okay.
neocharge: So an over the shoulder remit.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, no, not over the shoulder. No, but I didn't think it was tank as far as like you have to turn in a direction to go straight. I thought it had free flowing movement.
neocharge: I think was.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, boy, I i honestly can't remember.
neocharge: No. The one on GameCube?
BOrritoSupreme: Maybe that was the PlayStation when they, when they brought it yet again, maybe that's where it has non tank controls.
neocharge: Oh. Yeah, PS4. Oh. oh Well, that's the case. Shit, I need to play that.
BOrritoSupreme: But, but it's just, but that game, like they rehauled like everything.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah It was good.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: And the Crimson Head zombies are still one of the most terrifying things in a video game.
neocharge: One minute.
BOrritoSupreme: Fuck those things.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: ah And the blister heads in 9 were kind of a ah spiritual successor to him.
BOrritoSupreme: That's what I'm not...
neocharge: And my God, did you guys just like, oh, shoot him in the head. It's a zombie. And it's big and red. And it just just eats like 30 fucking bullets.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You just kept coming.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Like, oh, wow.
BOrritoSupreme: Hated them.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's what you use your Requiem ammo on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's the only thing I used it on the whole time.
neocharge: Dude, two shots on the kneecap with Leon and then dropkick him.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Honestly. Yeah.
neocharge: Axe to
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. No, I honestly, I put so many rounds into him. The first, the first blister head that I assumed that maybe they couldn't die. Like I was like, Oh, am I just wasting my ammo on nothing?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then I think, I think I just like got lucky and it fell and I axed it and I was like, fuck no, they're just assholes.
BOrritoSupreme: i
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but that's That's it.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: I spent so much ammo with Grace on the first one at the bottom of the stairs, I reloaded my save because I was like...
neocharge: Me too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. oh yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Oh man.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Me too.
Leon Lionheartly: man
neocharge: i was like, fuck this.
BOrritoSupreme: Save.
neocharge: I'm not burning through this much ammo. Not going to do it. And I had a pretty recent save.
BOrritoSupreme: well
neocharge: ah
BOrritoSupreme: Save.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. So, ah yeah. but But before that, i it was like, what, two weeks ago? I forget half the game. ah No. ah With Grey...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: With Grace, ah you go through the section, you're gone, and you go upstairs. the The first big scripted moment is meeting Chunk. Meeting good old Chunk.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: You scared the shit out of me.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah, that guy. yeah
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm pretty sure I yelled, what the hell?
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Just like, ran again.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: I was so surprised because it was like, fuck you! you! um like Yes!
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't.
neocharge: I like you. Also, I'm running now. ah Yeah. So, did it did anyone kill Chunk their first playthrough?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): no
BOrritoSupreme: Yep. Three Requiem shots to the face.
Leon Lionheartly: I did.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and
neocharge: I did. ah Three hemolytic injectors as well. Dude, the first time I used one of those things, I have it clipped as well. i like stat I didn't know what was going to happen, and then they just explode.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: and i'm just like, a yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was so cool.
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: That was a blade callback, folks.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah Yes, yes it was.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And
neocharge: Yep. So.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, I was too afraid to get near Chunk the first time. Like, i I just avoided him at all costs because I didn't know.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, fuck, that I don't i hope like this world anymore. I'm i'm out. just I can't do this.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. He just straight up blocked you. And he would like go through some doorways and some not. And just like, ah, this guy's unpredictable.
Leon Lionheartly: yeahhuh
neocharge: Don't know what's going on. So incredible intro to just a zombie that was very, very crazy. So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that was good that was a good another show don't tell situation because you could use Requiem. I know Bo did, but when you hit him with that first injector, you see him kind of get a little darker some way, and then you hear – don't know if you got the audio clue, ah but Grace goes, oh, I guess one's not enough.
Leon Lionheartly: And that was my, oh shit, I need to go get more.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And then I hit him with a second one and I was like, really?
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: And then by the time the third one hit, I was like, this better fucking work.
neocharge: Yeah. Third time's charm.
Leon Lionheartly: Otherwise I'm pissed and reloading a save.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: And then the trophy pops and you're like, fuck yeah! Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so you could use them one at a time? You didn't have to have all three at the same time to to to kill him?
neocharge: Yeah, one at a time. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No shit.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not know that.
neocharge: And you've got to get behind them, and it would give you the prompt, and you could inject them.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Huh.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cool.
neocharge: So, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, i didn't I didn't know you could do one at a time. That's neat.
neocharge: Yeah. I've got to say the the the blood ah collecting. was really cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: it It was a really awesome addition to...
BOrritoSupreme: I enjoyed that too
neocharge: it was kind of... Yeah. Kind of a form of ah currency and economy with grace ah in addition to the coins. But... I like that. And it was, it motivated you to kill more.
neocharge: Honestly, you're like, Oh, I need more blood. Well, I guess I'm going to fucking kill these zombies. So, and it motivates you to explore more as well.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and
neocharge: And then when it shows up on the map, like the detailed item icons on the map make a return, uh,
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Those were great.
neocharge: Yeah, the room colors did make a return, which I was i was sad about. Because in 7 and 8, the room is red. If you don't have all the items, when you collect all the items, it turns blue.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So the map was incredible, though. So detailed.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was wonderful.
neocharge: when you When you bring up the Kera Center first, you're like, oh, shit. does see A good map in a video game makes all the difference.
BOrritoSupreme: See, I just figured it was just because the maps were so organic, like zombies would migrate to other rooms, things like that.
neocharge: Yeah,
Leon Lionheartly: Thank
neocharge: yeah that's true.
BOrritoSupreme: So a room could be clear, but all of a sudden the zombies are, you kill it. And now there's blood to pick up. So that's why I figured it was just organic. And then say with when Leon goes through, you know, there'd be different things too. That's why I figured, cause yeah, it was the first Resident Evil game. I could remember in a long time, if ever that didn't have color coded rooms.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and but But there was a certain staticness to those rooms once you finally came in.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah I love when he talks about that too.
Leon Lionheartly: so if you hit a hemolytic injector or you blew a head off and like blood splurted everywhere, you come back as a Leon and it's just still there, stained on the walls.
neocharge: Dude, the ah blood physics.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah Like when you go back to the ballroom where the singing one was and he's like, Jesus places overrun. What happened here?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. Why didn't I get invited to this party? No. ah No, the blood physics. Amazing.
neocharge: You could like see when the blood was coagulating. It's crazy. Like the depth and the the lighting.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Just awesome. I don't know. I stared at blood for like 10 minutes too. So.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh yeah, no, the way it would splatter and like go across the, the geography was really impressive.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So let's see.
Leon Lionheartly: But.
neocharge: Get the band. get the band get the level one band. Then you get to backtrack and explore a little bit of Metroid-esque design in there, which I always appreciate.
neocharge: Then what's next?
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. So after you get band number one, that's when you're ah in that sequence afterwards, that's when you can go into the garage and you deal with the bulldozer.
neocharge: yeah Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): before
Leon Lionheartly: Well, because it's kind of,
Goatlord-Sriobix: Hmm.
neocharge: Dude, I knew something was coming through that fucking wall. It was like, this is the only brick wall in here. All right, something's coming through that wall. And then they foreshadow it with the bulldozer icon on the safety thing on the the wall.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: I was like, you motherfuckers.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh-huh.
neocharge: I love it, but also shit.
Leon Lionheartly: No, you're you're right. But this was the part where I thought pacing was a little wonky with the game because you yeah you spend your time and you get the first ah prism to put into the door to escape.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um And then you know you need another you need more prisms, but then you also know you need additional bands because you realize, oh, there's level two and level three.
BOrritoSupreme: one
Leon Lionheartly: But you're kind of doing two at once. You're hunting for the band while at the same time looking for the prism at that point.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And I got a little sidetracked and had to go back to ah the ah the chest to offload stuff because I was holding on an artificial heart and and an artificial lung and then some other random stuff that was quest related.
neocharge: you
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh,
Leon Lionheartly: It got a little dicey there in that that regard.
neocharge: du the The inventory management it added to the fear, which I appreciated, but was on the level of fucking Kronos, the game.
Leon Lionheartly: Really?
neocharge: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah really?
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: Yeah, for grace.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Really?
neocharge: Yeah, yeah. So I loved it. It was it adds to the fear because you have to go back and you're like, oh, I have i have two items that are taking up inventory space.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: What should I do with them? i And i appreciate it.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, her face sucked ass.
neocharge: Yeah. It was funny because they're like they're like girl pockets and it showed him Grace's inventory space. It was like guy pockets. It showed Leon's big ass fucking a attache case.
neocharge: like an Awesome. Which I love the return of that.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, the blending of both the inventory management systems.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: that was That was gorgeous. um

BOrritoSupreme: Right.
neocharge: We're
Leon Lionheartly: We got to get the third one, um which...
neocharge: going into the ah infirmary, like a more a medical section because before it was like, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: And I like how they kind of separated it. And there's like pseudo biomes. I hate using the word biomes, but levels like and then you're going into the fucking you're like, all right, this is fucking resonating.
BOrritoSupreme: right
neocharge: I'm going into a hospital section. What could go wrong?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Curtains everywhere, so your visibility is low. And it's just like, yeah, going to get fucked here, aren't I?
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay. yeah
neocharge: Mm hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. And six doors that suddenly can't be opened in any way, shape or form. You're like, okay, buddy, I know.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: But one in the back that's actually open.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: It's like, okay, i know what's happening here.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Uh-huh.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm not mad about it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a good, good sentence.
neocharge: Wow.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, did actually, that's where I ended up getting the achievement ah accidentally with ah ah for killing so many zombies with the Requiem.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Oh, three in a row?
Leon Lionheartly: Three in a row, because I heard them coming through that area.
neocharge: Nice.
Leon Lionheartly: So I lured them into the hallway, just instinctively said, all right, I wonder if this is going to work.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Hit all three of them in the head, blew them all up, and then popped an achievement. and was i was legitimately I was pleasantly surprised they they they kept that in there.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: um But yeah, that's ah because that's where we get the ah um level three be bracelet. And then Grace finds the puzzle for the for the final prism. But yet it's all in Braille.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hmm.
neocharge: Yeah, you get the level three bracelet. It's kind of cool. You like it's build a zombie. So you get the the lungs from the bulldozer and then the heart from cold storage ah that you have to put a handle on.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: I just loved all the puzzles. I was like, I really hope they keep doing the puzzles in every puzzle I encounter and every adventure aspect ah that's present in most Resident Evil games.
Goatlord-Sriobix: me.
neocharge: i was like, oh, they know why I'm here. they're They're giving me what I want.
BOrritoSupreme: yeahp
neocharge: So, yeah, putting the lungs and the heart and the zombie, you knew what was going to happen next. It comes alive, and you're just like, well, I'm going to shoot you in the heart now with Requiem.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: of
neocharge: One shot.
Leon Lionheartly: even Even Grace makes a comment.
neocharge: There it is.
Leon Lionheartly: Of course he would fucking move.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And I'm like, well, why didn't you just cut off its arm?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Yep. Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: So that zombie, you don't have to shoot him.
neocharge: And it just seemed...
BOrritoSupreme: um He dies after like 30 seconds.
Leon Lionheartly: What?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, he gets up and walks around and then he fucking keels over and dies.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, he just drops it down.
neocharge: Oh, shit.
neocharge: Wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Not my game, son. That bitch did not survive more than three seconds. I was like, nope.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: oh
Leon Lionheartly: and then
neocharge: I was like, all right. And then boom. So, yeah. And then go ahead.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah that way i was We knew that would happen, but could we go back up a little bit to the cold storage?
neocharge: Please. Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: um You have the big wheel that suddenly doesn't open the door, but yet she's able to use a crescent wrench to crank open the door manually.
Leon Lionheartly: That
neocharge: Because video game, Bob.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah i that' that got me. video That was a because video game moment because I'm like, physically, the wheel should work better.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And if you couldn't move it then, what the you're not going to use it with a pipe wrench lady?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): See, I assumed that the wheel had rusted on the like the the nut side, for lack of a better term.
neocharge: um Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And so it was just like this like a stripped hole, so to speak. That was my headcanon because video game.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But otherwise, you are absolutely right.
BOrritoSupreme: Stripped whole.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: the nut side and strip pole.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, Grace is just so strong she broke It's
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh the Or that. That's that's also possible.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
neocharge: I love the variety of rooms. Cold storage was cool. Uh, the laboratory was cool. You got your, your, yeah, you're assembling the zombie and then you have two fucking doctor zombies over here just yelling.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it was a really diverse area.
neocharge: And you're just like, you stay there. I'm going to just keep assembling this murder machine.
Leon Lionheartly: that It was at the, yeah they actually nerfed the guy, ah the loud zombie, the the blind zombie, because he could one shot, yeah, he could one shot Chunk.
neocharge: Um,
BOrritoSupreme: the blind zombie yeah
neocharge: Oh, yeah. God damn it.

neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's funny.

Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. and
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And then like a the the nurse that's in that room with them that's obsessed with the blood cleaning, I killed a bunch of zombies right next the right outside the door where she's at.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: um So it's only a short distance away.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And there's blood all over the walls. And as I ran through one time, she heard me, got up, followed me for a little bit, stopped, looked at the mess and went, there's a mess here and started cleaning that one off the ground.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Oh, that's awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's fun.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's fun.

BOrritoSupreme: ye
neocharge: And it's like, it's just like, Oh shit. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: i That was a good one. and See, I missed that one on the first try.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, i didn't i didn't I didn't do the Requiem triple kill.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Thank
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't do the bottle. like The first time through, i didn't i mean i didn't look up any lists either. But I was just like, oh, when the fuck am I going to do either of those things?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like I just didn't know how to set it up until...
Leon Lionheartly: you.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I actually did both on my Insanity run. I was like, yeah, sure, why not?
neocharge: Nice.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Let's see how this goes. Because the zombies moved faster.
neocharge: Nice.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The only problem was they they survived a lot more.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So i had to I had to be ready for it.
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: You get that level three band.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.

Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: And ah yeah, you pick up Emily and... Emily's cool. ah You know how like the ah the free camera mod? They found out that Emily is reading a braille version of Village of Shadows.

Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was like, what is happening?
neocharge: Me too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Am I stupid? Where is the fucking examine? Like, what am I missing about this? Yeah, I felt real dumb.
neocharge: And then.
BOrritoSupreme: was like, I promise I'm not weird looking up the doll's skirt. I'm just trying to see if there's something to do here.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: That's what I'm saying.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah

BOrritoSupreme: waiting for Chris Hansen to show up and they lock me in that cell.
neocharge: Are you sure? yeah Right. is it Take a seat. You know why you're here?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the that would have been the time I'm actually I was playing that section when Lisa was not home that would have been the only time that she came down and walked in to be like what are you doing I'd be like I swear to god it's part of the game like it that shit happens all the time when I'm playing or watching yeah when when i
BOrritoSupreme: ah

Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. I was too afraid to get close to it for the same reason.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. While we were molesting the doll, Bob was looking in the hole.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I just... Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah Oh, shit.
Leon Lionheartly: a Damn right, son. Seeing how deep it went. What's in

neocharge: You grab Emily.
Leon Lionheartly: yep
neocharge: You're holding Emily. Holding Emily was way cooler in third person. I just got to say, you could see like Emily reacting to shit.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: um In first person, you kind of just see like clips of her fucking hair. So you're like, am I still holding you?
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm. I did see that.
neocharge: i don't fucking know.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: um But that, ah yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I put Emily on the couch and then just murdered everyone first because I wasn't going to run around with zombie-infested...
neocharge: Areas with a little girl in my arms. That kind of added to the fear a little bit. Like. Oh, damn.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not. I did not.
BOrritoSupreme: i Yeah, I ran circles around zombies.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i It was really exciting, though, because I i was like, i you know, I've cleared mostly a path.
neocharge: oh damn
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm sure they'll throw something in my way. But if I don't have her because video games, they probably won't. So i was like, fuck it. I'll just I'll just save it here and then go. and And when I'm running and they have like a couple more things in the way and I was just like do like running the whole time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not. Well, i mean, you couldn't stop. You couldn't like put her on a bench in the middle of a room and just like kill him.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, but that was cool.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was like a ah really ah adrenaline ah fueled sprint. And mind you, I did not kill Chunk. So Chunk was still going back and forth.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, shit.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, shit,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I like ran up and I was, what's that?
neocharge: I did that my speed run. I ran into that my speed run because I didn't kill Chunk. And Chunk gets in my way and he's nope. And I'm holding him. I'm like, oh shit, I forgot to... Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I ran, like I went, I don't even remember what the room was, but it's like the other hallway leading to the medical wing. And I like turned the corner and Chunk's fat ass was just like right in front of me yelling something.
BOrritoSupreme: man. Oh, shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, what do I do? What do I do? Because I was being chased by probably 10 zombies. So I just like slowly crept forward until there was a small opening and just sprinted right past him. And he's just like, Hey, and then I ran and scared.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): scared shit let god I was a whiny bitch that whole time, but it was so good.
neocharge: so
neocharge: Don't laugh at me! So good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Meanwhile, and laughing at him.
Leon Lionheartly: You're a fuck off.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Yeah. Fuck off!
BOrritoSupreme: um yeah
Leon Lionheartly: chocolate Oh yeah, that's right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I want to be that voice actor.

Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's the voice actor kind of guy that I want to be.
neocharge: Me too.
BOrritoSupreme: You bitch.
neocharge: Yeah, you bet.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like Everybody wants to be Ben Starr. I want to be the guy who voices Chunk and just yells shit like that.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Chunk had Tourette's.
BOrritoSupreme: The fucking child's gonna say the Tourette zombie.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm.
neocharge: yourself that my
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): fine. Mm-hmm. that's fine
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: but
neocharge: Yeah, but I encountered that too, because in my speedrun, I was just running through, and then I was like, oh, shit, and Chunk blocks you.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: So if you're quick enough, you can squeeze through little crack right past him. So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: So ah how about that ah ending to getting the the the third prism, if you will?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, the Braille.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: The kill room.
Leon Lionheartly: The kill room? Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. I don't know about you guys, but i and some of the speedruns... You're supposed to defend as ah as the... It takes way longer than it should to disciple or decipher the Braille um and clear the room. But there was some... like During my speedrun, when I had infinite ammo, it was like I was waiting for a minute.
Leon Lionheartly: I killed the zombies so fast, I panicked and thought I broke the game. And then and then like a minute passes, and then I hear...
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: v
Leon Lionheartly: Grace, I figured it out. Or however shes ah she says Yeah.
neocharge: a
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. So
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm done going to the bathroom.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my God.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You can come in now.
Leon Lionheartly: did.
neocharge: I'm done figuring this 12 total combination braille thing out when I just read an entire fucking book. Because video game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Wait, so you had, you'd had infinite ammo for your, your speed run.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah so i did
neocharge: Me?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, Bob, he said with his speed run that he like cleared him out real fast with his zipping ammo.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, no. Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. so i did the So I did one run on as normal, like my normal playthrough.
neocharge: oh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And then I did an easy mode that was also a no heal run.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: By the time I got done with that, I had collected enough blood and done a bunch of other challenges that I had infinite ammo for ah guns.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: So then I just was like, all right, I guess I'm going to go easy mode, no blood collection, all this other stuff and just do the speed run ah at the same time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): see real men did their second run as a speed run no blood no heel not infinite ammo like idiots
Leon Lionheartly: real Real men ran away from everything. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah i mean i did i really i got real good at just you know pop run pop run that that was it because no uh i mean i only picked up a little bit of ammo
neocharge: That's what I did. Yeah. That's...
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a casual run, so it was a lot easier, of course. But ah I thought about halfway through, I was like, am I going to not be able to do this no heal?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because I don't have infinite ammo. Like, was that a stupid choice when when we got past the halfway point? And then it turned out that now was actually pretty easy. But yeah, i ah that was fun. That that like no heal, no blood, casual run, speed run was was really really fun.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): We can talk about that later. I just, I, that was, that was a, a separate little challenge that I quite enjoyed. And I know Alex hated me when I posted my time at least for five minutes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, the time that I still haven't beaten.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was just like, what? Yeah.
neocharge: So try it.
Leon Lionheartly: We'll get there because I got to ask it.
neocharge: Try doing all that and then add the first part of the final puzzle challenge in your speed run where you have to literally stand still for 15 minutes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the
Goatlord-Sriobix: I did and still finished it in in under four hours.
neocharge: Yep, me too. Three and a half.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nice.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Very nice.
Leon Lionheartly: Impressive.
neocharge: But yeah, no, I didn't have infinite ammo for my speed run. I saved that for the insanity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Same.
Leon Lionheartly: i
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): mean, I couldn't have afforded it anyway, like, cause it was only one playthrough.
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: i I saved the rocket launcher for insanity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, I
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah i mean, that's smart. Yeah.
neocharge: You can't, you don't have it with grace. So I saved, I did the final puzzle and got like 40,000 CP or whatever, and then bought the rocket launcher just in time for Leon's last section.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. I saw yours, ah your shop as you were going through and doing that. And I, you, you would have, I think you would have been really close, but might have had enough.
neocharge: name
Leon Lionheartly: ah But you bought the assault rifle um for Leon.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And I mean, I don't blame you. I would have, I would have probably done the same thing.
neocharge: Right. Yep. Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh yeah, that assault rifle's broken.
neocharge: Oh, so good.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Absolutely broken.
neocharge: So good.

neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it turns out that the girl is not dead.
Leon Lionheartly: Surprise, motherfucker.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, or, I mean, at the time, I wasn't sure if it was like a different girl. Had no idea. You know, we I didn't know that the first time through. ah Just because, again, video games, like, maybe they have lots of them. This is...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): science fiction and shit. But it turns out it's the same one. So, ah as we find out later.
neocharge: I think her face was rematerializing as you she was grabbing you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. that Which is like, okay, it's probably the same one, but it just didn't look right from when Leon shot her in the previous cutscene where I thought like, oh, she's like donezo.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nope, not donezo. She back. And she is out of fucks to give too.

Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it was It was very, very well done in that regard.
Leon Lionheartly: No, that's exactly it.
neocharge: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: So, yeah, the whole time with Emily, i was just waiting for her to turn into another fucking monster. We'll get there. But, yeah, the section with the lights and fuses and the keys and the batteries.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Isn't there a Leon section right after she jumps down? Isn't that the first time we get to fight as Leon in in the attic?
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
neocharge: Yes. Yes, that's right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Because that's also another quick one if you if you just do it you're supposed to.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Yep.
neocharge: Too quick. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah If you kill everything, it's really easy. Uh-huh.
neocharge: And I did.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Right.
neocharge: as Grace, I just murdered everyone. um So Leon didn't really have a lot to do during that section.
Leon Lionheartly: Sorry, I'm not on the menu.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, he did get to fight his own chunk, so.
neocharge: yeah Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yep
Leon Lionheartly: He felt like he was a lot tankier.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And find the shotgun.
neocharge: Which...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. I think he was.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: they They beefed him up for Leon's section. But yeah. Sorry. Not on the menu.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Fun fact, that's where you find the shotgun on your first playthrough. ah
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i think it's a shotgun. it's a shotgun. And on my speed run, I didn't know this. I had sold everything that I wasn't using as Leon.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Again, jumping a little ahead, but in my normal playthrough, I sold it all back into the chest so that I could just have my inventory with the the like four weapons that I used. And when I started my speed run, they tell you, since it's a second playthrough, like, oh, you can get this this box earlier in the game now.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But they don't give you the weapons back. Like, they're in the box.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I was doing my speed run, and I run in fully expecting to find the shotgun on the ground, and there wasn't one. So I had a hatchet and a handgun on my speed run to kill Chunk.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Um, that wasn't a fun time because it just fucking took forever.
neocharge: Damn.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I was all the more impressed with my time at the end of the speed run because I was just like, I swear to God, I fought him for like 17 minutes. Just hit with the hatchet.
neocharge: Holy shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Uh, but that's, yeah. And then I had to fuck around and go back to the box and like buy the things I needed back, which took more time. Uh, but that would have, that information would have been useful, uh, before I started my speed run.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oops.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: There was only like three boxes you could access before you get to that scene as Leon.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep, and I just never even looked at him in the speedrun because I was like, no, I just need the regular weapons.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's fine.
Leon Lionheartly: ah That makes sense.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oops.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Same thing with a sniper rifle then, huh?
neocharge: That hatchet, though. Yeah, oh yeah. That hatchet. Incredible addition. And you could just parry everything.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so cool.
neocharge: You'd parry a fucking car. So.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's Leon's way.
BOrritoSupreme: I know, I told y'all I wanted to leave pairing behind in 2015, but was pretty good.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It was pretty good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: yeah you can pair anything with that fucking thing but yeah i I ran the golden path straight up to the attic and was like okay I'll do this one thing and then explore nope
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was good.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: so yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No dice.
neocharge: It was really cool that the ah the environment stayed the same as when Greece, like if you killed a zombie, it wasn't there. Or if you didn't kill zombie, it was there. The blood splatter was still there.
neocharge: Like the geometry and assets stayed through Leon's section, which was very impressive because that, I mean, it takes a lot of CPU.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So a lot of RAM.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was very cool.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, love that's fair.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Wait, so you missed all of the the the cabinets with Leon in your first playthrough?
neocharge: so
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: and That's all going to say because there's one right there.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: I know. Grace's section was so long. I was like, all right, cool. We're going to have a section where Leon plays through most of it. Right? And i was like, okay, well, let me go do this thing real quick and then we'll go explore. And the thing I did real quick was the entire section.
Leon Lionheartly: You missed out on a lot of stuff.
neocharge: I did.
Leon Lionheartly: but
neocharge: i did. And then, of course, i I combed the place through my insanity run. So...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: So yeah, there's a, isn't there Mr. Raccoon in one of those cabinets?
neocharge: Yeah, that was one of fucking three I missed.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep, there is.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, there is
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: One of three.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And it doesn't show doesn't show up on the map either until you've opened the cabinet.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, damn.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. So, yeah. That was interesting. And then the, yeah, Leon taking care of the blister heads.
BOrritoSupreme: Oops.
neocharge: That's when I learned real quick. Just pop them in the kneecap two twice. They fall, ah roundhouse kick them, and then when they fall back, then hatch it to the head.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did like their theyre little like chop move or whatever you know when they come at you, and it's obviously much much faster on insanity.
neocharge: So...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah But the fact that you could parry that, just parry, parry, parry, and push them back a little bit. ah The first time they did that, I was not ready to parry anything. I just got my face clawed, and I was like, what the fuck is happening?
BOrritoSupreme: and
neocharge: right
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like Yeah, that was pretty ah pretty intense.
neocharge: right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Those guys were assholes.
neocharge: Yup.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was the first time that Lyanna had to fight a blister, right? Was in that section?
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then it was like two to five of them or something.
Leon Lionheartly: ah yes
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. yep
BOrritoSupreme: Yep. Yeah, and you fight a bunch of them.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i Yeah.
neocharge: A lot of them.
Leon Lionheartly: and
neocharge: So they give you plenty of ammo. It was very balanced with ah Leon where they...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And grenades, right? I think you get grenades for that too.
neocharge: Yes.
BOrritoSupreme: shit tons of grenades um i'll say the stacked grenades like so op p yeah yeah
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So good.
neocharge: And dude, the stack grenades. Oh. So okay. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh yeah. Broken beyond broken.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): we atnna
neocharge: yeahp Yeah, I think during my Insanity run, I like ah brought them all into that room, crafted a ah stack grenade, threw it, killed them all.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah sounds about right
neocharge: Great.
Leon Lionheartly: On your insanity?
neocharge: Yep. Mm-hmm. Loved it.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. See, I hadn't thought about that because I used the raw RPG.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and I just brought him in and then just fired an RPG at the table and then we're going to go.
neocharge: There you go.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was too afraid for splash damage, like with the with the rocket launcher in that close quarters.
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So i i hid like a baby and and threw some grenades as well.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah, so...
Leon Lionheartly: and That's fair. there is a there That splash damage is a little of ah deceptive on that RPG, but ah yeah, if not, you're running to the hills.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And as Leon says, yeah, it does.
BOrritoSupreme: Kills Grace in one shot.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Ask me how I know on that one, too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah I'm pretty sure i did that and I went, well, I should have seen that coming. I just didn't think that through.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oops.
neocharge: Yeah. See, I did that whole section with the sniper rifle on Insanity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, I did after trying it with the RPG.
neocharge: No RPG.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, you had to. Yeah, you had Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was mostly curious.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, the sniper rifle became my weapon a choice for most of the game as soon as I got it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that weapon was awesome. So good.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Especially the semi-auto?
neocharge: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That was the shit.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, so you use the semi-auto then.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah. Dude, the semi-auto was the key to my speedrun.
Leon Lionheartly: See, I used the bolt action because I looked at the stats of the weapons and then you can see the bar that tells you like what its maximum is going to be on potential.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: And I saw that bolt action power was all the way to the fucking right of my TV and beyond.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: i was like, okay, yeah, I'm going to be using that.
Goatlord-Sriobix: only matters it really I realized that it really only mattered if you were far out on the range. And then you can make up for it with a certain charm that you get later on in the game.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: The BACA term.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Make up for it, and then all of a sudden, the semi-auto does the same amount of damage.
Leon Lionheartly: oh See, I put that charm on the bolt action.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Why? Okay. never well We'll get to that later. I'll judge you later.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because Bob's a marksman.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, we we'll get to it. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Bob's a marksman and he knows how to mark.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Damn it.
BOrritoSupreme: I'm pretty sure I put it on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes.
BOrritoSupreme: I think I put it on the Requiem.
neocharge: Oh, my gosh. That's funny.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that's good one. ah But yeah, that's all there was for Leon's section, wasn't there? Just that one little romp right...
neocharge: Short and sweet.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, once you blow up that room of blister heads, then you open the portrait and then like there's an elevator call and then, and then it basically cuts back to grace.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): In the scary fucking ah underground fuse box bullshit that was so well done.
neocharge: So well done.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also, I hated it because I loved it because I hated it and I was scared. I was very scared.
neocharge: So good.
BOrritoSupreme: like Well, it was just the thing. like I knew when the girl was going to pop up and it still got me every time. And like the part when you had to walk through the tunnels um to get to the third fuse on the other side of the grinder, i was like this bitch, like, I don't want to go in the fucking tunnels.
neocharge: right Yeah, that's where she Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): well
neocharge: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: So good.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): then they even they fake you out like on your way back and there it looks like there's something to pick up which was not there before and for gamers like us it's like i've been i've been picking up everything what is that oh god because it's you know they just fucking get you because you're trying to pick up whatever it is yeah it's great yeah
Leon Lionheartly: You knew she was be there.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, it's just a piece of scrap too.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It makes it even better.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: And then there was also this had some variance because I saw it on Matt's stream and I never got this is when you go after you you put in the first fuse to the power room and you go where that first forklift is going to sit. um I watched Matt. He used the the crank and pulled off the grate that's on the floor near the office and I actually went through the other angle.
Leon Lionheartly: And when you do that, i don't know if you guys got this, but there's a zombie that starts to crawl through and then suddenly gets yanked but by the girl.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: And then she breaks the grate at the same time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Never had that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but For the first playthrough for me, that was what I did. And then the second playthrough, because, or the third, the Insanity run, I had to do it all differently because they were fucking with my shit with the girls, just an asshole on Insanity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I didn't get to do that on Insanity.
Leon Lionheartly: You. you
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I only got to do that on on my normal run, which I thought was interesting.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Again, we were talking about dynamic changes of the game and just how it worked. I thought that was so clever because I was like, nothing is safe. Nothing, nothing is consistent. What do I do? Just full on panic.
Leon Lionheartly: Nope.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But it was really cool to watch the zombie, you know, get dragged out. Cause I was like, I can't fucking aim anything at him.
Goatlord-Sriobix: me.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep. yep
Leon Lionheartly: no I mean, what made that really, I don't know, you I know it's a little near the end of jumping ahead, but ah so like when you go in and you, all the cells with the zombies sitting in there on my insanity run, I blasted through all the zombies.
Leon Lionheartly: But then when you go to do that finishing sequence, there's still zombies that come out of the cages. i don't know if you caught that.
BOrritoSupreme: oh
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. ah i forgot i I forgot to... I didn't realize some cells were open in my first playthrough. And I saw the items, and I thought everything was locked.
neocharge: So with Emily, on the last sequence, when all these zombies are coming out, I'm like squeezing in the cell, grabbing the fucking empty injector, and like getting hit left and right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Yeah, I fucked up.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: I was like, there's an ejector there. I need i need it And so I was like, well, we're getting it.
Leon Lionheartly: what did What did you guys use your injectors mostly on on your first playthrough?
BOrritoSupreme: So I was going pure strength until I met the blister head. And I was like, okay, I guess I need some help because these guys like one tap me.
neocharge: Four health, one, or no, ah sorry, four stability and power, one health.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): moon
Leon Lionheartly: Same here, buddy.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: High five.
neocharge: Last cannon.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Boom.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. i was I was three and two. So
neocharge: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I kind of assumed that you'd be able to fill all of them the first time through.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And that was.
BOrritoSupreme: that's what I figured too.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I was just bouncing back and forth.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then when you didn't get any more, was like, oh, ah well, whatever.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So yeah, it was two and three, three and two.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: How about you, Alex?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Nice.
Goatlord-Sriobix: but Same thing. was all stability for me and then the one health one.
neocharge: Nice.
Goatlord-Sriobix: There wasn't much of a point in health because like she's going to drop dead in two hits anyway.
neocharge: I know. Right. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: insanity mode, there's no point in health. so
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: and They don't even give you that shit in Insanity though anyway.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. does.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But the health is is comes in clutch for the no-heel run.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It does.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Because it restores...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. So it actually will... When you use it, it restores your health and does a full heal because it increases you to your new maximum, but it doesn't count against the number of ah healing items used.
neocharge: oh
Leon Lionheartly: So if you...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): See, i didn't I didn't know that, so I didn't even want to risk it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, I saved right beforehand and just tested it early on, like on the first injector to see. um And then it shows, yep, zero times yeah used. Okay.
BOrritoSupreme: Nice.
neocharge: Very cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That would have made it a little better. Oops.
neocharge: Nice little hack.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oops
neocharge: and
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, absolutely.
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, my dumb ass.
neocharge: Bo did a no blood on his insanity run, didn't you?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, I... Yeah.
neocharge: god
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, that was a choice.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah ah
neocharge: yes
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and
BOrritoSupreme: But I had that 247 completion time, so fucking blazed through it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: That's impressive, man. Impressive.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I was fucking around on my insanity run just like that was my fun sandbox.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah absolutely
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like, all right, I got infinite an ammo now. I'm going to murder everything. This is going great.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. Grindr section was terrifying.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes, it was.
BOrritoSupreme: I died the first time.
Leon Lionheartly: That was disorienting.
neocharge: And then that dude, huh?
Leon Lionheartly: It was disorienting.
neocharge: Yeah. And then when you're like following the, the, uh, corpses hanging and then one grabs you, that scared the shit out of me.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, I wasn't ready. Yeah,
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: So this is when you really get to start seeing the, the blood physics. And when you get a real, uh, good blood physics and then the next part, but this one, like when they're all dropping down and then,
BOrritoSupreme: I was...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Heh.
neocharge: It drains out.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: And you're like, I know what's going happen. now They're going fucking start the grinder. All these zombies going to come alive. Oh, yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: There's a fucking typewriter right here. I know what's, i know. I see. i see what's going on here. So.
BOrritoSupreme: That was such a Resident Evil 4 like part.
neocharge: Mm hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But then it kept going.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was the other thing. I thought, okay, it's just going to be like five or six zombies. It was not. It was more than that.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
neocharge: yeah ah Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's even worse when you're doing the final puzzle, I'm just going to say.
neocharge: Yeah. Because you have to...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Even worse.
neocharge: Yeah. You wait 15 minutes and you can't kill any of the zombies. The grinder has to kill them. So if you kill one, it cancels it out.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Every single one of them. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You can still shoot them, right? I mean, like to tap them in the knee or something.
neocharge: You can shoot him in the kneecap.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it's clearer than me, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: And then it grinds him. Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): mean, that's basically how I did it anyway, because I was like, I have 11 rounds.
neocharge: Yes.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I can't can't do this.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I think they had a like a Molotov down there or something like ah a thing that you could throw.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, there is a Molotov.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: wait So when you guys did the final puzzle, waiting 15 minutes, did you have a significant more amount of zombies down there than the grinder then?
Goatlord-Sriobix: No.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, think it was exactly the same amount.
neocharge: Yeah, same amount. So.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I was kind of hoping it was going to be more because then it would have really cool.
BOrritoSupreme: That would been cool, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Because it gets dropped at that point.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's like 150 zombies or something close to that at that point. i'm like It would have been awesome to have that many. but
neocharge: Right?
Goatlord-Sriobix: What the fuck is Grace going to do with a single handgun with 10 rounds against 150 zombies? Yeah.
neocharge: Shit. I don't even even know.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Do you?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So do you just like stare at him being dumped into the thing? Is that really when you're waiting there?
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: Yup.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And and and it's it's to change the game's RNG value from a four to a two. And when you do that, the story reason why it happens is you've now introduced more corpses in and it allows more blood to flow later on for a doll to drop that you need to complete the sequence.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh.
neocharge: Yup. Yes. Yup.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, perfectly reasonable figure out.
neocharge: And the doll...
Goatlord-Sriobix: stupid as fuck
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like Why would anybody...
neocharge: Oh, dude, that's fine yeah that's not even the the worst case. You have to flush a random toilet eight times.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): surprised it wasn't 9, actually.
neocharge: And there's a...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought, why why wouldn't you make it 9 for Requiem?
neocharge: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But, you know, whatever.
neocharge: There's a random file that has a picture of a very obscure eight written in blood next to the toilet. and Someone figured that out.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's not
neocharge: I think they datamined it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's not just It's not just a random file either. It's the first file you get in the game.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Is it really?
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's one of it's part it's yeah It's part of the pictures that Grace gets to talk about the whole clinic and everything.
BOrritoSupreme: Crazy.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I...
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep, one of the case files.
neocharge: and
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's good
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah yeah combine that with all the other crap we'll we'll get into that that's that's a whole topic
BOrritoSupreme: crazy
neocharge: Yeah. the The next part, the escape sequence. There's a cool fake out. I thought they did an Ethan move on her and she was going to lose her fucking leg. Nope.
Goatlord-Sriobix: dude that's what I thought too like right out the gate I was like damn it's like now you got a blind and a cripple now you're fucked
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: we go.
neocharge: Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i I was so nervous during that whole last bit of that sequence. And then, I mean, the way that they did their cuts and everything, like the camera cuts, I did i like winced.
neocharge: Brilliant.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i I was, because I just, i assumed.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was like, she's fucked.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was awesome.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, I jerked my whole leg up. I was like, fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep. Me too. That was so well done.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I can't.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: So so
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's it's just one of those things in horror movies that gets me every time. like Like, I love the Saw movies, don't get me wrong, but same thing in those. Like, somebody loses a limb, I'm like, fuck that. Nope, I'm good. Like...
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And then you get the the hand, and that's part of the puzzle. Fun fact, before I even looked up the puzzle or anything like that, my first playthrough, i was like, the fuck is this hand?
neocharge: What do I do with it?
Goatlord-Sriobix: it Yeah.
neocharge: I'm going to go put it in the the cult the blood scanner or whatever. And I scanned it, and I got the code. And I was like, ah okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and
neocharge: So I did get the
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then you got to spend then you got to spend the rest of the playthrough deciphering that shit.
neocharge: Yes.
neocharge: Right. So i did I did part of the final puzzle in my first playthrough, not knowing what it was.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah I did too, yeah.
neocharge: And yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: With with the hourglass. I didn't even know about it.
neocharge: Okay. Yeah. So I got that code and I was like, fuck is this? It's like, oh, it'll it'll come up later. It never came up. I was like, what the fuck? So yeah.
neocharge: I spent some time ah analyzing that hand so to get a code that I was like... At first, it was like U-G-A-A, and I thought ah they were like initials or something, and I was like, what's going on?
neocharge: So, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, it's the they it's specifically the order of ah the different types of amino acids in DNA.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: oh Is that what that is?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Very cool.
Leon Lionheartly: Man, see, I'm still learning things about this game, and I ain't played it in two weeks almost.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's been longer than that for me.
neocharge: Yeah. And each letter, when you code when you figure out the code or Reddit figured out the code, each letter has a number associated with it in very random places in the game.
neocharge: And that number is the distance from the Earth to either the first star, the moon, or the sun. And that's how they figured out, oh, C means moon or, and then like they have a fourth one in there and there's literally a sequence that you do and you get an item that says ignore a, so yeah, which fun fact was a, uh, shootable in three.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. but The bobblehead later on, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, that is.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's, it's specifically like on the side of the blood analyzer and the actual blood lab, there's one of the numbers and it's the distance.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I believe that one's the distance from, and relatively in meters from earth to the sun.
neocharge: Yeah,
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then there's another one that's, that's in the hourglass that's earth to the moon. And then if when you, yeah.
neocharge: yeah you got to let all the sand go down too to see it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. And then you get the check mark on the hourglass.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep. And then the third i guess third third way of getting the last one is ah you go through Grace's file at like the very end of like the escape sequence.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And it pulls... the like That's corresponding to the stars.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then you never find anything else for like what A is.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. Crazy, cool, in-depth, super obscure puzzle. One of the most intricate ones I've ever played in a Resident Evil game.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Incredible.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, if if people hadn't have data mined it, I don't think anybody would have ever figured it out.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): sure
neocharge: Loved it. No. No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was gonna say that like as much as i appreciate that bullshit that's just too much bullshit for me i'm not gonna fucking figure that out i'm not just not like i love it but also nah ain't nobody got time for that
neocharge: No.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I agree.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
neocharge: Yeah. yeah
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like it's and it And it kind of sucks too because like you don't get anything for it but that final puzzle completion.
neocharge: No.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's all it is.
neocharge: You get 40,000 CP, which is nice.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. And like at that point, like do you really need it?
neocharge: I did for the rocket launcher.
BOrritoSupreme: No.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, that's fair.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Because if you don't spend your money in a right, with this so I'm sorry, CP points or whatever you want to say in the right way, you do you lock yourself out from the rocket launcher.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep. And I did. So.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, did you buy the infinite hatchet?
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Yep.
neocharge: No. No, that was a.
BOrritoSupreme: Okay. Cause I'm like, that's the most pointless thing to buy.
neocharge: I know, because you can sharpen it. Yeah. ah No, I bought a couple things. I think I bought some models. I bought some Leon models.
Leon Lionheartly: a Oh yeah, you did buy the RPD charm or whatever, the the Leon charm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: I remember seeing that.
neocharge: Oh, yeah, you get you get double damage with grace.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, yeah there's a
neocharge: Fucking awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: I didn't have the money for it, and I really wanted to it for ammo.
neocharge: Yeah, i hear you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know that i still own that char. Like, I have no idea if I actually bought it. The double damage one.
Leon Lionheartly: I don't think I do either.
neocharge: Oh, it's a Leon charm.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I just didn't. I didn't look at those things.
neocharge: Yeah, it's Leon from RPD.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah there's a Leon charm and a Claire charm, which is another reason why I think he married Claire.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Just saying.
neocharge: It's either Claire Ada. Because he mentions Chris.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's that and the wings everywhere, man.
neocharge: The way.
Goatlord-Sriobix: The wings everywhere.
neocharge: Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: On his watch, on his jacket.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): See, you guys are all wrong.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like
neocharge: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's married all of them. It's Leon. He's got a fucking harem of women.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Or we're so fucking dead wrong that he married Ashley somehow.
neocharge: ah
neocharge: Oh, geez. No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I think he actually married Barry.
neocharge: Yep. Barry.
Leon Lionheartly: How do you think he got the Requiem?
neocharge: Where's Barry?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Barry was like, I got you, dog.
neocharge: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Come home safely, sweetheart.
neocharge: Yeah. Huh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah And you know what? I'm not even mad about it. I'm fine with it.
Leon Lionheartly: Jealous, maybe, but not mad.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm not.
neocharge: No.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: yeah So what, you get the hand, you get the prism, fucking and blind girl's like, I kept this safe for you. And I'm like, you goddamn, oh, thank you so much. You're the best.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You adorable little blind bitch.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, my God.
neocharge: Yeah. ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was a great set.

neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So.
Leon Lionheartly: What?
neocharge: Yeah, there was all kinds of shit. And I even like visited some rooms. Dude, I took my sweet ass fucking time with this game.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank
neocharge: Maybe a little too much, but I don't care.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, the but bones were picked by the time I got to that segment.
neocharge: Yeah, there was still some blood i wanted to collect. There were some items, just random items around. So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: All right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that's...
neocharge: Yep. I scoured that whole fucking thing again. And that's where I scanned the hand, too. I scanned the severed hand and got that code. And was like, what's this? So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: that was my That was my Leon section moment.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that's...
Leon Lionheartly: I was like, oh, I got the girl. I got the prism. Cool. And just fucking walk right out.
neocharge: Right. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that's also like the safest place too to do the actually like complete the final puzzle as well, is at that exact point.
neocharge: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Because you don't have to worry about any zombies if you are because you've already killed them all.
neocharge: Right. And I just, I went on a murder spree with Grace.
BOrritoSupreme: That's nice.
neocharge: Just, yeah. So, ah yeah, she goes out.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't. I got the fuck out of it.

Goatlord-Sriobix: No, I enjoyed it. I
neocharge: i was like, yeah, I was having a fucking blast. I don't really, i don't know. Like, I enjoy being scared. So I was like seeking fear. It's weird. might Maybe it's part of the masochist in me.
Goatlord-Sriobix: got it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, like I didn't want Grace's section to end. can like I felt like at first place, like I went through the door, I'm like, I'm going to have to play Leon.
neocharge: Same here.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, don't want to play Leon yet. I just want to keep playing her. And I didn't know at the time that there was going more after it.
neocharge: Hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: So I went through the same thing and got absolutely everything I could.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then I went through the door.
neocharge: Yeah. Which, getting outside, oh, so pretty.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: And you're just like, okay, now I can leave. But wait, there's a fucking helicopter. A pristine helicopter just sitting here.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): With some random ass dude who's also just fucking hanging out.
Leon Lionheartly: Magically here.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You're like, I don't believe that you're a good person.
neocharge: Yeah. It's like, oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You're just chilling in this place with a helicopter.
neocharge: Right. Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then he's like, blah, my blah, blah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like, I don't believe you.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i don't i don't believe you. i was i was fully on board with Grace just being like, stay away from us until obviously you know a couple minutes later because video games.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But but yeah, I mean-
neocharge: Then she's like, hey, watch my adopted my newly adopted daughter for me. Okay, thanks, bye.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did wonder actually when, when you do leave, I was like, is this the part? Cause like Emily, you know, when you're going outside and she's like, I don't really feel well, you know she just says that I was like, Oh no, I'm going to come back.
neocharge: That, yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And she's just going to be like helicopter eating this dude and like a giant squid monster or something.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yup.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that did not happen, but I did think it was going to, or, you know, some bullshit like that.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's, that's, yeah.
neocharge: Same mindset.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, I was worried.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Because like at that point, I'm like, want to protect this little girl now.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, this little girl is going to be the whole point I finish this fucking game. It didn't work like that for another game I've been playing, but it it worked like that for this one for some reason.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh.
neocharge: so yeah We can't say the game can't say the game he's referring Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: I was apathetic to her.
Goatlord-Sriobix: but yeah't We can't. We can't.
Leon Lionheartly: i know
Goatlord-Sriobix: Not that cast.
neocharge: Referring to Rolls.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's referring to Mega Man 1.
Leon Lionheartly: I know it sounds...
BOrritoSupreme: just It just dawned on me what he's talking about.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Mega Man 1.
neocharge: yes
Leon Lionheartly: Mega Man.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, shit.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's Mega Man X4 with
Leon Lionheartly: Final Fantasy XIV.
neocharge: with
Leon Lionheartly: All right.
neocharge: referring to role
Goatlord-Sriobix: me man x four with with role
Leon Lionheartly: i don't So am I the asshole here? I got to gauge this because you I gave no craps about her the entire playthrough because, yeah, Emily, she's a blind girl locked up in a raccoon facility who is obviously in an experiment.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): About Emily?
Leon Lionheartly: Not only is she a liability for me getting out of here, she's probably going to turn on me because she's some kind of bioweapon I don't know about. I was like... The whole time I'm going, Grace, why do you care about this girl? Grace, why do you care about this girl the entire fucking time?
Goatlord-Sriobix: she was innocent.
neocharge: What you got against blind people, dude? Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, bro. Come on, man. That's so ableist.
Leon Lionheartly: Nothing. My wife's blind. yeah how do you think I got married no she but she was she's locked up like she's you only lock something up if you're trying to ah contain what it could be and I was like oh she's a bio she's she's got to be something something's not right with her why are we dragging her around
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Ha ha ha.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: yeah
neocharge: right
neocharge: I thought the same thing, but I still kind of was attached. i was like, oh, maybe she's, maybe we'll eventually find the cure and cure. So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: that's fair
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I feel like because of all the hints earlier on in the game of like the whatever this virus was like retaining some semblance of their humanity, I just felt really bad for her by the end.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like In the beginning, I was just like, ah, but then not only because I needed her since Grace can't hit buttons 12 times and figure it out.
Leon Lionheartly: I don't
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But, you know, after the whole basement sequence with the fuses and all that just to rescue her, I was like, I care about her now. Let's go.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, I felt bad for
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah But i was I was scared that ah that was a mistake.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So...
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I
neocharge: yeah they They did very well writing that character and ah giving her some unknowns and some mystery, but then making you care about her because you she's like, dude, when she like pulled that crystal out, I was like, aw, thanks.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank
neocharge: I like you.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: know hmm. Yeah. so
Leon Lionheartly: All right. that one's a fed that one's fair That's a fair point.
neocharge: you
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i think it would have been hilarious...
neocharge: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, and some of the reports. Oh, go ahead.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i say I think it'd be hilarious if she pulled out not the crystal. If she thought it was. She was like, I saved this for you. And it was just like a snow globe. And Grace would be like, fucking useless.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, my God.
Leon Lionheartly: ha
neocharge: She was blind. I mean...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah That's what happens on the insanity run.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. I was waiting for it.
BOrritoSupreme: I love it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Just be like, okay, I guess we don't survive.
Leon Lionheartly: it
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's Thanks, Capcom.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, we meet the helicopter guy and go into the the underground facility there.
BOrritoSupreme: Love it.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: The blood physics. Oh...
Leon Lionheartly: And the storytelling, like...
neocharge: And the the lighting in the globe of blood. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And that foreshadowing, like you get into that one area and you can see the the fire extinguisher containment unit and it's all blown out and there's just a body splattered against the wall.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh,
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was such a cool way because like you go through it
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you know, you don't know that there's nothing in there, at least nothing actively trying to kill you immediately.
BOrritoSupreme: right
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So you're like a little nervous. You're like looking around and you see all these tubes and all this fucking lab bullshit. and And then you see that fire extinguisher thing on the wall and you're like, oh man, this, I actually thought it going boss fight.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did. I was like, what, this is all going to go away and I'm fight some big ass thing. And then you go and you get the cut scene of Victor ah and then all hell breaks loose and you have to go back through it destroyed.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it was just such a cool idea to, to like sort of show you, Hey, you're in a new zone now.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You don't know anything. We'll let you get your bearings and then fuck you. like that That was pretty intense.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and then
BOrritoSupreme: Pretty much.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And Victor's voice line, Victor's voice line, right before that, you have to run back through.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And they still changed it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: dude it was
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What's that?
Leon Lionheartly: hey he just He's laughing. I finally did it! but And then just locks in and walks right out the fucking a door.
neocharge: um
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah, creepy.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So cool.
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Great value Joker, man. Great value Joker.
neocharge: Yeah, definitely inspired by that
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ha ha ha ha.
BOrritoSupreme: no And then that is the last and that's the last time you see Victor for about six hours of gameplay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: He fled right home, bro.
neocharge: that. 12 for me.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the
neocharge: No, I'm kidding.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. yeah
neocharge: a Yeah. ah Dude, the the blood physics. Awesome. And then in insanity, when you're going up the stairs and shit's falling down and it hits you and it hurts you, those bitches.
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah yeah
neocharge: Yeah, but her...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: I mean, you first see it when she goes through that pipe of the blood. I saw it, like, in third person, you her hair is, like, drenched in blood and...
neocharge: The water, the fluid physics were just incredible. And the lighting going through the fluid, just um a set piece for this game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Very, very cool.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, absolutely agree.
BOrritoSupreme: There's a lot of those.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, I think honestly escaping that portion of the like that portion of the facility escape was more than likely my favorite sequence in the whole game.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It was just so detailed. like Even on base PS5, it still looked amazing.
neocharge: That's so impressive.
Goatlord-Sriobix: every every Everything was crisp was crisp. It was all crystal clear. It was phenomenal.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It felt like classic Resident Evil ah a little bit, like near the end of some of the earlier games.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I loved every second of it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): When when you like you're in the...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, we did say were going to spoil some of the earlier games. Like when you're in the lab, when you're in the umbrella sections, and then...
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): there's just shit won't stop and you have to keep moving. That's what it felt like. And I was actually worried.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was like, Oh no, is this like it for grace? Like, is this, are they ending it for grace here? And you know, they didn't, ah which is cool, but it definitely felt like that.
neocharge: Same here.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It, it, it got me excited.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like I was at the end of the game, knowing full well, there's no way we're almost done. so This can't be the end of the game.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: was kind of worried we we were at that point.
BOrritoSupreme: I was too.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I low-key was.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and like, there's no way I finish this game in four hours.
BOrritoSupreme: because i Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, this is ridiculous.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Good.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like...
neocharge: Yeah. I was like, oh, it's been 10 hours. That's pretty long game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Good job.
BOrritoSupreme: No, that's why was like, yeah, I know there's a speedrun trophy, so I was like, maybe this is it.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Right. And then, boy, oh boy. Helicopter sequence. Zombies just hanging off the helicopter. ah Unfortunately, the helicopter pilot will not be in Resident Evil 10 because he got a fucking tree to the chest.
Leon Lionheartly: I got fireflyed. I'm sorry, folks.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Bro.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, nice.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm a leaf on the wind.
Leon Lionheartly: i'm sorry folks
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah yeah I did want to, so um before we get there, that back we did you, ah one minor detail I really loved about that underground section is when you finally do get to the top of the stairs.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeahp
neocharge: Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: And like you said, there's shit falling down the stairs. You're dealing with the zombies. You're dealing with the blood. Grace finally breaks in that moment. And she goes, why the fuck does this shit keep happening to me?
neocharge: yeah ah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah And she's climbing up the ladder.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: if
neocharge: She just like was in a pond of blood and like waterfalls of blood everywhere. And she's just like and before that, she's like, ah it's in my mouth.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes!
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah I don't know. it was those little It was those little audio clips from Grace that kind of really sold the scene well.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Definitely.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): She was like a real person instead of just, I mean, we all love Leon's one-liners and stuff, but grace, grace is like how a normal person would react in this circumstance is to be like, what the fuck?
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was well done.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yup.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Yeah, when you break out of the hospital, it's like you open it, go to open the door, and she's like, how do people normally go through this door now?

neocharge: ye
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like, yeah, we ah we agree.

BOrritoSupreme: i lost them, and it was like, protect them. And I was like, where the fuck are they? There's no, like, ping.
neocharge: boom
BOrritoSupreme: And so I was just in my sniper scope, like, scouring, and you'd have the light.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Damn it.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: So was like, okay, well, let me, like, follow the light trail. And I was like, oh, there's one on that light pole.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and
BOrritoSupreme: It was literally, like, dumb luck.
neocharge: Dang. Wow. Wow.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh yeah, that's another one.

neocharge: The one in the fucking cabinet that I missed, and then the one that no one is going to find in the sniper section, and then the one on the bridge.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No, my other stupid one was like way later on top of the the computer at the end of the game. I'm like, what the fuck?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but like
Goatlord-Sriobix: like I was in this room for 10 minutes.
neocharge: Dang.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's What the fuck is wrong with me?

neocharge: And it makes a noise.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Ever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that's awesome.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: The one that I almost like lost my mind over was the one in Raccoon ah Police Department in the library.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: i was like, I fucking hear it.
neocharge: Dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh.
BOrritoSupreme: I was like, I hear it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: you
BOrritoSupreme: And I ran in circles forever.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: Ever.
BOrritoSupreme: And I was like, i've I'm not leaving until I find this son of a bitch.
neocharge: Me too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, me too.
Leon Lionheartly: Ever.
BOrritoSupreme: And he had to find like the tiniest angle on the bookshelf.
neocharge: Yup.
neocharge: Yup.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I just started shooting all the like the cabinets thinking one would just like, play you know, i was hatcheting and everything and it just didn't fucking work and I felt really stupid.
neocharge: yeahp
BOrritoSupreme: Right? Right?
neocharge: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: like, where the fuck is it?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I felt real dumb.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: but
Leon Lionheartly: But for the yeah the sniper section ah there, i I watched your playthrough, Matt. So like I saw what you were doing.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: But on Insanity, I was using the bolt action and I was really good. And then I started getting overwhelmed. And then I got hit by the zombie that was on the ground. And then I cleared that and then I got hit by another zombie on the ground.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: So I said, so i said fuck this and went in with the RPG and used indirect fire take cover for grace.
neocharge: I knew it was coming. Fucking...
Leon Lionheartly: I'd be like, oh, is that movement? Fire.
BOrritoSupreme: That's awesome.
neocharge: That's awesome. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And that's how I learned that the the blast radius or the RPG feels like that ah like ah ah like ah ah a baseball, but it's more like a bowling ball.
BOrritoSupreme: a
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: um One of the best one-liners.
BOrritoSupreme: And the damn chef shows up again. Fucking asshole.
neocharge: Yeah. He's like, what is it? Dinner time or some shit like that. He's like, oh, the one-liners. One of the best is winning. go go ahead.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It was like something about church service at that point. I was like, what I'm trying to, I'm blanking on that line.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah. ah It's like, oh, the help service is here. But winnie when it's finished with the sniper section and he jumps off, slides down, like just, I don't know, he lands on the zombie and explodes his head. He's like, excuse me. Yeah.
neocharge: Fucking love it. Just amazing. So then that, that was a boss fight. That was kind of our first boss fight with Leon, uh, in the church.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Well, second.
neocharge: I struggle with that one.
Leon Lionheartly: Second.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He fought Chunk.
Leon Lionheartly: Second.
neocharge: Second. Yeah, that's right.
BOrritoSupreme: It's the chunk, yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Chunk. Chunk. Yeah. So I struggled with this one a little bit. Bo was watching me. Oh, you motherfucker.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, yeah?
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Oh, I watched it too.
BOrritoSupreme: you said
neocharge: I was like, and dude, I was so...
BOrritoSupreme: He messages me.
neocharge: Oh, I was pissed. And I was like, what am I missing? And you're like, skill.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Thank you. but
neocharge: And then like fucking five GIFs after that.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
neocharge: And I'm just like... of
Leon Lionheartly: me
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so what
neocharge: And then... I get through it and I'm like, you know what? I'm going to fucking do it again just to spite you. And I did it two more times.
BOrritoSupreme: and
neocharge: I was like, that was easy. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): what so were you just like missing one of the blisters or something is that could you not find it or or what
neocharge: I didn't. it It was this point where i realized you could shoot the blisters in the knees with two handgun rounds and then do the quick time event and then kill them.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, i meant I meant on the big boy.
neocharge: I was just.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The the five that you have to blow up on the big guy. Is that what?
neocharge: wasn't a problem. It was the blister heads around them.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, okay. Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: oh okay
neocharge: I was just getting overwhelmed. was just constantly getting overwhelmed. And I was like, oh well, shotgun to the fucking chest, shotgun to the face, shotgun to the knees, nothing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Got it.
neocharge: two It's weird because two handgun rounds to one of the kneecaps drops them. You don't have to use any more ammo after that.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's also, I think, only like two sniper rifle shots to the head kills him too.
neocharge: like I'm not gonna fucking snipe them when they're running at me.
Goatlord-Sriobix: If you're using the bolt action.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Bob and I are.
Leon Lionheartly: Are you? No, i'm I'm trying to remember because I'm pretty sure the reason I didn't do that and I focused on the big guys, if when you shoot one of his blisters, it explodes.
neocharge: Yeah. You can no-scope
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm pretty sure it is.
neocharge: them. And makes more it's more blister heads.
Leon Lionheartly: And even and even if if they if it was a blister head before, it still comes back.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And it turns them all back into them. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: So I focused on that guy first by removing the scope on my sniper rifle.
neocharge: I... Yeah, I couldn't. I didn't realize there was an upstairs section either that you could like loop around. it was just I was getting overwhelmed and I eventually got it.
neocharge: So and then i I went through that shit on insanity like nothing.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, you did.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, that's fair. yeah
neocharge: So.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that section is still not even really that bad on Insanity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was really nervous about it and then just didn't, it wasn't that bad at all.
Goatlord-Sriobix: The section right after is.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But I was scared.
neocharge: Yeah. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was like, it's really tight quarters. And when I had done it, I did.
neocharge: Mm hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I just sniped all the blister spots ah on the first time.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then on casual, I didn't discover upstairs until the casual run, my speed run.
neocharge: yes
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was like, oh, there's a thing. I can just like throw a big old gas canister or whatever and blow them up.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then I forgot that when his blisters popped that he he makes more.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I felt real stupid.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep. yep
Leon Lionheartly: yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): this But yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. yeah And I love when weapon-wielding zombies, when they drop it and it gives you that prompt, you could throw the weapon ah zombies.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yep
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, that was such a nice touch.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yep
Leon Lionheartly: so yeah
neocharge: Really cool game design.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nice touch.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. then he's got grenades and shoddy and yeah. um That enemy reminded me a little bit of the, ah the last of us, big guy, the big guy in the last was a little bit, little bit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: So many teeth everywhere. Especially the death sequence. When he gets... don't know if you guys... Sometimes I just wanted to see the death sequences. So I was like, whatever.
neocharge: And I would watch them.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm.
neocharge: I'd just like fail on purpose to watch them. It gets real.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, same.
neocharge: Yeah, it gets like just with like Tomb Raider too. Like so many... So cool. So much cool ah animations in the death sequences. It gets real close to all those teeth.
neocharge: It was a really cool enemy design. Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm too terrified to do that. Like, I wouldn't even think like, I want to see what this looks like.
neocharge: oh yeah. I just...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'd be like, I don't need that living in my head rent free.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Stay alive.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but don't Don't do that. And then if it happens, I'm just like, ah, yeah, pain.
Leon Lionheartly: and I'm too prideful, man.
neocharge: Man, I...
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, so we got the church ah section and then water treatment plant right after Leon cuts over, which it never really kind of ah explains like how she gets there. It's just like she goes through the back end of the church door and now suddenly Grace is underground with Emily.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: here
Leon Lionheartly: youve never That seemed like a jarring transition, but ah this is where you get to play hide and seek ah with the girl ah because Emily is saying, Grace, I don't feel well and I need to lay down.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It is.
neocharge: hey Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Well, no shit. You just landed, a crash landed in a helicopter. um And ah yeah, good thing she took that extra time to strap her in ahead of time beforehand, right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you didn't see it coming.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm so sorry. ah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah Yeah, that was good.
neocharge: yeah That's great.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm going to hell.
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah yeah Oh, who's flying this thing? Okay.
neocharge: I mean, she's covered in blood after the pilot dies, so she basically just felt the blood splatter on her. She's like, what the fuck is going on?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i feel like I feel like this game is ripe for like ah a Naked Gun remake, like a parody, where I feel like it'd be hilarious if while the helicopter pilot is crashing, if the fifth Emily was just like, what are you, blind?
neocharge: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it' Just just like you shit like that would be so funny me.
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that's why I can't ever make video games because I would just do that, which would not be good.
Leon Lionheartly: and
BOrritoSupreme: Jesus. exist
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Kobe.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): o
neocharge: This... this boom
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Ooh, ouch.
Leon Lionheartly: I'm sorry.
neocharge: Oh. Oh. oh
Leon Lionheartly: okay That was a slow burn.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I feel gross.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That was a slow burn for you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i fiddle I feel more gross than when I said, what are you blind?
neocharge: Yeah. Huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like that Yikes.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: ah This section has some surprises, especially when the crank is like, you crank the other two, giggity, and then you get to the next crank, and you're like, oh, I'll just do this.
Leon Lionheartly: know
neocharge: And she's like, and it takes longer, and then you die. I'm just like, well, lesson learned.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, i probably died like five or six times in my insanity run right there.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like ah the the The whole sequence with the girl and the water treatment plant was a nightmare for me.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: She's so quick. And Molotov gives you one second.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Whereas in any of the other playthroughs, it gives you like 10 seconds.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: So she's just like,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): my Mine was like a Benny Hill run on Insanity. was just running around like like, I don't know where I'm going. Because she would jump across, for the third crank thing, she would jump across, ah I don't even know how to describe it.
neocharge: Yeah, that was new.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And couldn't get, yeah, you couldn't get in that door quickly enough. you had the well Or you could if you were really, really good.
neocharge: right.
Leon Lionheartly: That
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah But yeah, I ran back and forth about six times just trying to not get eaten immediately as soon as she jumped across the thing.
Leon Lionheartly: was...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): On my regular playthrough, it was fine.
Leon Lionheartly: that was that was
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Well, that was the one change for Insanity that actually worked in the player's favor, is you can stun her with the Requiem on Insanity, but only in the water treatment facility.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Two shots.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: See? b i See, even Matt knows two shots. Because i it was always one shot before, and then I fired the first one, and it wass like, what the hell?
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Oh. She just ate it.
Leon Lionheartly: And then you you fire the second yeah. And you feel a lot sigh of relief suddenly, because you're like, oh I can still stun her.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Or you're me and you fire one and then you run and then you realize mistakes were made because she just immediately grabs you and eats you.
neocharge: And then...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Then you learn, oh, two shots.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oops.
neocharge: Learn by dying, for sure. Yeah. And then ah you you get the sequence and you burn her. And that death sequence for her was cool. I just kind of like looked at her boiling corpse for a while.
neocharge: It was cool. Attention to detail.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it reminded me of Resident Evil 2 when you finally take out the the tyrant for the...
Goatlord-Sriobix: um
Leon Lionheartly: I mean, near the end. Let's leave it like that.
neocharge: Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: um And there's that bubble of crap on the ground before you get to that final secret boss fight kind of situation.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. And then Emily finally turns and you don't hit any of her vital organs. I was shooting her directly in the fucking eyes the whole time. yeah
Leon Lionheartly: This was another because video game moment, and we'll get to that at the end.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Because that pissed me off, to be quite honest.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: um But yeah, Grace.
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: Please don't kill her, Leon. She's just a hideous looking too teeth monster. Please don't kill her.
neocharge: Right. Yeah. Clearly not a little girl anymore, but you know, whatever.
Leon Lionheartly: a a Not a little. But...
Goatlord-Sriobix: I know it's a little bit of an homage to later in the game, but did you guys notice that when you do aim at things like her chest or her head, it will actually move the cursor off of it?
neocharge: No, oh I didn't.
Leon Lionheartly: No. No.
neocharge: How do you know where the fuck her chest is?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. it
Goatlord-Sriobix: I don't know, but like there there was a couple times where I'm like, oh, I've got to kill this thing, and I would point it, and it would move the cursor slightly lower.
neocharge: She's a blob.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it does.
neocharge: Okay. Well, that's cool.
BOrritoSupreme: So technically it is true when Leon says, avoided all the major vital organs.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, so...
neocharge: Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: He didn't hit any vital organs.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: How did he know?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Plot armor.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Leon knew because he was also infected.
neocharge: That's true.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And he was like, I know that my T penis is over here now instead of where it used to be.
neocharge: Just a resonance. A T-vibre. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but That's just what went through his mind. i
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my God.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's a fact. is a Capcom fact.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: uh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you guys not look up his T penis?
neocharge: Uh-huh. huh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Or his G penis?
Leon Lionheartly: no i no
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, okay. Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm not looking up Leon penis on the internet, dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't either. her i was i was I was just asking.
Goatlord-Sriobix: There's probably a mod for it.
Leon Lionheartly: and for research purposes right yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, this was a test.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. So the research.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a test. You guys all passed. ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: I don't know. Buzz being really quiet right now and he's really honest. He's really focused on something right now. ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He just typed in Leon T-Penis, and he is very happy about the results.
Leon Lionheartly: It's really fucking.
neocharge: Titan spinner.
BOrritoSupreme: and
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep. See? There it is.
Leon Lionheartly: after Leon... what after leon yeah does what he does with the T penis.
BOrritoSupreme: laughter laughter
Leon Lionheartly: Thank you, Caleb. It's throwing me off. ah Grace says Grace gives us the most human one of the most human interactions ah in this experience, which was fuck this.
Leon Lionheartly: ah I'm done and just tosses the Requiem to to Leon.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Um,
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, that that whole sequence, went I mean, when Grace is crying after Emily and then getting mad at Leon, that sequence alone, I'm like, she better be nominated for for Voice Actor of the Year.
neocharge: Then we meet Zeno.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: like It was her Performance of the Year, whatever they call it, the TGAs.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: It was it was so good.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and And like Matt said, this is where we got ah introduced to we have Wesker at home.
neocharge: We have Wesker at home.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: three
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Team the Wesker.
BOrritoSupreme: That's a...
Leon Lionheartly: that mean Zeno.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: An old Zeno.
Leon Lionheartly: let's be honest. eat i mean let's be honest
neocharge: With a Z, not an Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do have to say, for for the over-the-topness of this game that that like works, you know it's just the the one-liners and the roundhouse kicks and shit, I fucking hated his name.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I hated Zeno. I was like, this is the most ass-backwards weird... did you Did the person who was supposed to come up with character designs and naming conventions just like not go to work that day?
BOrritoSupreme: It's generic as fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And some... Like janitor, no offense to janitors, but like walk by and he's like, how about Zeno? And they're like, fuck it. That's fine. Cause that's what it felt like to me. It just didn't work. It's I, of all the other parts of the game that are ridiculous.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I accept, I do not accept that his name is Zeno.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, I kept wanting to call him Zero throughout the entire fucking playthrough.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: um and In my mind, like it just defaulted going, oh yeah, Zero. No, no, it's Zeno is his name. ah Because they like Matt said, they spelled it with a fucking Z and not an X.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it just felt weird. It felt like something out of a... Actually, had a like Final Fantasy XIV. That's what it felt like. Just why? Why is that?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, okay. So I actually just looked up what Zeno means. It's a Greek word or Greek name translating to of Zeus.
neocharge: Oh, okay.
Leon Lionheartly: So he's of Wesker?
BOrritoSupreme: Such a cool name for a fucking turd.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: For a cheap imitation?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: ah yeah this is where after ah Zeno um aka Timu Wesker and Grace leave off to go to Raccoon City ah Leon follows suit um and ends up in Raccoon City right outside of it it was
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): you with see
neocharge: the
neocharge: The drive sequence was cool. And the the Easter egg with the Jeep at the gas station, awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it
neocharge: The spider crawling up, you're like, right, we're going to get fucking spiders, aren't we?
Leon Lionheartly: yup yep yep
neocharge: And we we did. So I love the foreshadowing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): was really... Dude, when Grace went underground to the fuse section, I thought for sure that's when the spiders... I was like, there's going to be spiders or some like creepy crawly bullshit.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then when they didn't, I was like, oh my god, am I going to get through this game without spiders?
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nope. Nope.
neocharge: Nope.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): nope
neocharge: Enter the Titan spinner.
Leon Lionheartly: The Titans. yeah Oh, is that the the actual name of it?
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: There's a file.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No,
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
neocharge: Oh no, it might be just the model or some of the art.
Leon Lionheartly: All right.
neocharge: It's called the Titan spinner. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
neocharge: Fucking cool name.
Leon Lionheartly: Before that, did you you guys notice you can aim Leon's car, but he you can't shoot it? Like, he'll literally pull up if you put the reticule over his car.
BOrritoSupreme: That's funny.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): no no, I didn't notice that.
neocharge: Oh, nice.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I
neocharge: No, I didn't try and shoot my $250,000 Porsche.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: I would have.
Goatlord-Sriobix: really didn't want players shooting at it, but you can shoot at all the other cards in the game.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: yep
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it doesn't give a fuck about other cars.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, the...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: And you can parry them with an axe, too, when they're
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah Just casually but deflection. ah but the spider So that spider fight was one of the other key areas where it it was awesome.
neocharge: So cool.
Leon Lionheartly: I love it, um particularly since you have to cut the the webbing with the the hatchet and it chases you through the the abandoned building and then you get into the actual arena.
Leon Lionheartly: But this was another one of those fights where I yeah realized there was an entire section
BOrritoSupreme: Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: that you could run through to pick up ammo and stuff, but I didn't see it on my first try.
neocharge: oh wow.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, either. Same thing. I just felt really stupid. And I thought, oh, maybe I can go back to the building and visit it you now that the fight was over.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And i could not. So, oops. Missed it.
Leon Lionheartly: right. Thank you. I felt like Benny Hill again doing duoo do do do do.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Um,
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: I was running around trying to figure out where to fucking shoot this spider. Then I saw his tumor on the back of his thorax. And I was like, oh, okay. And it it was little beefy. So I struggled with the fight a little bit.
neocharge: So...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah that that was it Yeah, that was a very tanky spider.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That fight was fun.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. I mean, he's the size of a fucking tank.
BOrritoSupreme: a
neocharge: ah I hope he was tanky. Hold on.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, right. Never mind the fact that you were using the shotgun at that point.
neocharge: Yeah. Incredible animation on this spider. Just creepy as fuck.
BOrritoSupreme: It looked so good.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, man. Yeah.
neocharge: I was like, i was legitimately like, oh.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah And then the little ones as well that show up?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): would they...
BOrritoSupreme: hit... Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I actually had more trouble with them.
BOrritoSupreme: I've hated the spiders in every Resident Evil.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: You have more trouble with them?
neocharge: Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so With the little guys, I mean, it they didn't kill me or anything, but I just figured I could run and like step on them, you know, squish them or something. I did not expect them to go like full, I guess,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like the crow, just all of them fucking flying up and slicing my face and shit.
neocharge: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was just like, ah, get away from me.
neocharge: if
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But yeah, that was, that was ah unsettling for people like me that, that don't like the creepy crawlies. Like I'm okay with spiders, but not when they're the size of a house. um And in the cut scene, when it, when it's like right above your head, as so as soon as the shadow from its arm or whatever, like,
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): darkens the screen i just here i was sitting by myself and i went god damn it like because i just knew i knew what it was and i didn't want to look up and leon looks up because he's a man and i'm not uh and then the fight started this this is great but that that whole fight sequence was was really neat i did bust out the requiem for that because fuck spiders for me i was like nope not gonna waste my time fuck this shit so that fight was over pretty quick for me
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: same
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Just a great way to start Raccoon City.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: it was and awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: it's like, welcome back to Raccoon City. Here's a fucking spider the size of a house.
Leon Lionheartly: i
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: And again, at that point, I had been really underwhelmed by the bosses. Like one of them was just an enemy we saw as Grace and the other one was, I mean, literally a Last of Us bloater.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: Like I was like, it's whatever.
neocharge: The bloater, yep.
BOrritoSupreme: But that i was like, this is a fucking boss fight.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Loved it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a whole set piece for it, which was very welcome.
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Absolutely.
neocharge: incredible set piece.
Leon Lionheartly: oh
neocharge: I think I looked up at it and I was like, Oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah You knew it was coming.
neocharge: Cause I'm weird.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, you knew it was coming and you were ready for it.
neocharge: Oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And then you thought you were ready for it. And then the fire, I died to the spider like once or twice because it just was so tanky and was so quick.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: Yup.
Leon Lionheartly: It would run up along the wall and I'd be like, where is it? And then it would drop on me and it's like, get the drop on me.
neocharge: Yup.
Leon Lionheartly: It's like, fuck that hurt.
neocharge: What a set piece though.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the fact The fact that it was that big and it still had the the like creepy skitter of real spiders, when it like breaks through the wall and all of its legs are going all over the place, and you're if you're uncomfortable, you're like yeah, get away from me, fuck this.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah That was impressive. I just don't know how they married that it's so big and yet it's so small and creepy looking while being gigantic and eating your face.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: You're describing a lot of things right now there, bud.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. yes
neocharge: There you are.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was looking at Bo, sorry.
neocharge: Tea penis.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Let's look at Bo's T-Penits. That's my fault.
Leon Lionheartly: if you're
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my God.
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah You can tell we're at that delirious stage.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: um But yeah, we get into Raccoon City proper. um Well, on the outskirts of it, ah where the quarantine was from...
neocharge: The title, though.
Leon Lionheartly: ahead.
neocharge: The title before when it pans across the city, you see Ground Zero and then the big ass fucking bold letters Leon Raccoon City.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: i just i I think I was like...
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: I screamed in and went, that's Alan Wake.
neocharge: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Yep. Very inspired.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Not the first time they did it, but like seeing Leon in Raccoon City is just like, we're back, baby.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was very excited.
neocharge: We're fucking back.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, and it was like a ah reset almost within the game, you know, because we just went through this emotional moment arc with...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): With Grace. And when you see that Leon thing, it's just like, oh, is this another game starting? You know, and not knowing it's not another game, but it did feel like it was just a very hard chapter break.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it was cool. It was is a very cool, I don't know, just the tone setter once again.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it definitely so helped reset the mood, if you will.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: um i And then as you like you go in through, because I totally forgot, you got to come through the subway first before you break into where the barrier is or the quarantine barrier.
Leon Lionheartly: um And I thought it was really cool. They kept the quarantine wall from when they still had...
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Definitely. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: from when the during the initial incident. um And I thought it was really nice. But then you have to go find all of the parts ah for the detonator. um I'll let you guys kind of dissect how you wish there.
Leon Lionheartly: but um i Because I personally went through the warehouse.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Or I think you have to go through the warehouse first. um And then...
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: I think it's scripted. The order is scripted, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: The order, yeah, very much.
Leon Lionheartly: oh I think you can do it in... You can do the warehouse, but then I did other stuff in a different order.
neocharge: Well, yeah, you got to do the warehouse. and Dude, this um the idea of zombies surviving by going underground and then them coming up as like skeletons.
neocharge: Fucking awesome.
BOrritoSupreme: yes
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): that I wondered after the Titan spinner fight, I was just like, okay, so we're just going to be wandering around this desolate thing and having a bunch of jump scares because nuke dropped, you know, ground zero, all this shit.
neocharge: Right. Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah And then as soon as you find the, it's a BSAA camp, right? is that the first yeah So you find the BSAA camp and then you go into the next building, you know, you duck down and you're walking and you're just going down a little bit of this corridor.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I just got this feeling because we've played video games before. And also they set it up well, where it's just like, I'm not alone, but what the fuck, what the fuck, you know, not knowing what it's going to be.
neocharge: are they at?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah No spiders.
neocharge: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it's just a half empty room. And then the minute that you like get close enough to continue, all this shit starts coming out of the ground and you realize you're not safe anywhere because the ground is also behind you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So like I'm turning around wondering if they've spawned behind me and just running out of there like a child.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that was really exciting. I was really impressed with how they handled that too, because Leon was just as confused as we were. He's like, how the fuck, how are they here? What what is going on?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nothing should have survived.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: that's like that That's odd.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, even Sherry, she was like, what do you mean they're zombies?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was cool.
Goatlord-Sriobix: warms all the bodies. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Like...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that was a nice touch.
neocharge: Right. And that music, that battle music for Leon. Oh, so good.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah they even They even foreshadowed it a little bit as you first went in there because he says, hey, wait, where are all the bodies at?
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Which I was like, oh, shit. you You had to point it out because now I know what's about to happen. Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Right.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was interesting too, I mean, right before that at the BSAA camp where you get that bracelet that tracks your points for kills. Again, because video game, you know cool.
neocharge: awesome
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But I was so excited because I was like, well, that means we got to kill some shit.
neocharge: Sure.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): believe that There's going to be things to do and I am Leon right now.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So that's extra fun.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and And then of course, the there yet yeah no what the the box that you can
neocharge: And then you see the body arm. Oh, go ahead. Then you see the body armor.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): nice stuff
neocharge: It's like, oh, this protects you from explosions and gunfire. ah What?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: Yup.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, which was a great surprise the first time that happened. Yeah.
neocharge: Zombies don't have guns.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Or do they?
Leon Lionheartly: yeah and And then they the way they animated him when you finally got there, it was kind of like he just he's spraying in general direction, um no control at all, just whatever hit gets hit, hit.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But somehow, magically, he could be shooting off to the side and I'd still get hit if I was standing in front of him.
neocharge: isn
Leon Lionheartly: I don't know if that happened to you.
neocharge: Dude, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Especially on Insanity.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: It was just...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was pain in the dick on Insanity.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah, because they had the body armor, which, by the way, protects against Requiem shots.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and this you It does.
neocharge: Requiem shots. What mean?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, so yeah i why by the time it came to, I had Requiem with infinite ammo.
BOrritoSupreme: All right.
Leon Lionheartly: If you hit him so ah dead center in the chest, the body armor actually protects him.
neocharge: Oh, wow.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Now, I also want to say, too, props to the animators. s Bob, I know you've shot fully automatic weapons, too. i don't know if anybody else here has. That was like the zombies arms going absolutely crazy shooting these guns. It's pretty accurate when somebody limp wrists like a fully ah full auto rifle.
neocharge: Hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I was like, damn, that's actually like pretty fucking spot on. If you don't know what you're doing, it's going to do that.
neocharge: Yeah, the attention to detail is nuts.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, the tactical reloads was really what had me. like The first time I reloaded the shotgun and he put it up on his shoulder, like John Wick style, I was like, okay, here we go.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: Yeah. e
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: more
Goatlord-Sriobix: And he was smart. He'd hold two shells and slide them both in at the same time.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes, yep, no, and they nailed it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: So clean.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And when you go to reload Requiem, if you do it when you still have ammo in the chamber because it's a revolver, they'll they like make sure to keep that extra round in and pop it out, and then we'll slowly reload each individual round.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But if you empty it all the way, they use a speed clip.
Goatlord-Sriobix: He speed loads.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, use a speed clip.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, I love that too. Yeah. Like if you, um it was really noticeable um in third person and first person didn't matter where, yeah, if you still had rounds in the magazine,
BOrritoSupreme: they would pocket it and then load a new mag. And then if it was empty, they'd just throw it away. Like you see them just let me throw it down the hall put new one in.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yep
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: And I was like, that is just a brilliant detail.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: what a waste of magazines though don't throw them things away today's economy exactly
BOrritoSupreme: Right?
neocharge: Right? Yeah. Right?
Leon Lionheartly: for a 30 round. Hell yeah.
neocharge: damn
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He could have bought another Porsche if he just kept those magazines.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: right
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my god.
neocharge: I gotta say, when you get to the camp, I just had a... so Like, when I found out, okay, this is some more RE4 upgrading all the guns and everything. Because this is in your first playthrough, this is where you find out, oh, we're upgrading guns and shit, and I was...
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: I was like, God, I hope it comes back from four because we have Leon. We have the attache case. And one of the things I missed in this game and one of the reasons it's floating with eight is the treasure economy and the merchant.
neocharge: There's no merchant.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: There's kind of a digital merchant and a little bit of economy there. But when you drop Lady D and you get her fucking crystal bust as a treasure, that was something else.
neocharge: And I would have loved to have seen unique treasures like to the spider or the girl or whatever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was cool.
neocharge: But ah yeah, they didn't do that.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: but When you get to this camp and you're like, okay, we're upgrading guns. We're going to just annihilate people in in Raccoon City. I had a smile on my face and i was like, all right, this is our Leon section we were waiting on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: so
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah,
Goatlord-Sriobix: ah Did anybody else at that point like run around and try and find the rest of the BSAA cases?
neocharge: um
Goatlord-Sriobix: like As soon as you like find out about them?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Uh,
neocharge: When I got the key, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: when I got the key, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was going to say pre-key, no, because I was like, I have no idea.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No. No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But after the key, yes.
neocharge: right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Dude, I went, I was like racking my brain. i'm like, where the fuck are they?
neocharge: Mm-hmm. There's a trophy for it, too.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like one just said, yeah, one just said sniper rifle. i'm like, that's going to be the shit right there.
neocharge: Yep. So.
Goatlord-Sriobix: This
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: is my strong hand.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, no. We get through there and the mortar scene where you finally get up on the roof.
neocharge: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh my God.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, that piece of shit. I died there my first time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: well
Goatlord-Sriobix: I died so many times there.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. They're so accurate.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I couldn't figure out where the hell they were half the time.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, okay. Yeah. ah but I could see that because there was one... that was really covering for me all the, ah like I couldn't figure out where he was. um And then by the time I saw him, it was like, I looked up to the left and to the, or up into the left.
Leon Lionheartly: and it was like, Oh, I'm a fucking idiot. Cause I was looking to the right. As you're coming out of the building, it's naturally pointing in that direction.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: But ah I've seen videos, people, you can parry those mortars.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yes, you can.
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's so stupid.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Wait, really?
neocharge: You can parry everything in the fucking game.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, I wish I had known.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's
BOrritoSupreme: Of course he can. Of course he can.
neocharge: You can parry the entire game out of PS5 if you have physical.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Jesus Christ.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. ah And then it felt so good by the time you finally got that, ah you got the part, but then you're sitting at the mortar and you're like, oh, i I know what I'm going to do. And you're playing and the tower defense game, the whole fucking, for at least a couple of moments there.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: e a
BOrritoSupreme: Well, when he dropped down from the roof, like after you get the part and then all the zombies show up and I ran right back up there.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You can play at this game. Fuck you guys.
BOrritoSupreme: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): bret That's exactly what I did.
neocharge: a Yeah. And then they foreshadow the mortar part with the, they show the actual apparatus in the apartments and they're like, oh, they got some heavy artillery.
Goatlord-Sriobix: No.
neocharge: And I'm like, we're going to use that.
Leon Lionheartly: debts That's a good call. um Did anybody figure out if there was actual use next to that mortar apparatus in the apartment?
neocharge: wonderful
Leon Lionheartly: There's a window, and you go into this like little grassy null area, but there's nothing there, as far as I could tell.
BOrritoSupreme: No, there's nothing there.
neocharge: There's a case. There's a case hanging up.
Leon Lionheartly: oh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, you have to look up.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh!
neocharge: There's a case above you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
neocharge: i was playing Rackert City like this the whole time.
Leon Lionheartly: Alright, so I am an idiot.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah,
neocharge: is looking for the case. i was like, those motherfuckers are hiding cases everywhere.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah and you you can actually get to it ah when you're on the roof up there. You can actually shoot it from up there and it'll drop down.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, okay.
BOrritoSupreme: That's a different case.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: That's a different one.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): There is a different case there.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, that's a different one?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh my god, I missed a case.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: There's a case in the skylight and the cases, they had like legendary bracelet ah chunks.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So, which gave you like 4,000 points, which was significant for the first playthrough.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Which is cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The only real like quote unquote secret, and it's not really a secret that I discovered with the mortar.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause I was like, I played these games before. There's gotta be a breakable wall somewhere. And there was like right in the middle of the first section to, I don't even remember what it gives you.
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I think it's just like another ammo box or something or a crate, but i it was cool to just be like, yeah.
neocharge: I think it's a bracelet part.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay. Thank you. Just the fact that they did, have that breakable. I mean, you could have argued that maybe it should have just crushed everything, but no, it was nice.
BOrritoSupreme: just reward your curiosity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was video game.
neocharge: I love when games reward your curiosity and your exploration. And this one did well to do that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Definitely.
neocharge: So.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, definitely. um See, after the after the roofs and the mortars, I went through the gas station. um I don't know about you guys.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: that was a That was the...
neocharge: Kind of a callback to two, the beginning of two.
Leon Lionheartly: that's what i Well, I wasn't going to say two. I was thinking a three.
neocharge: e
Leon Lionheartly: OG three when you're when you're defending that gas station. um So that's what I saw. But I mean, come on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: Who are you? The town lumberjack?
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: Yep. Yep. That one liner.
Leon Lionheartly: Um, but, oh, is it?
neocharge: My one-liner is coming up. My favorite one. so
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, we'll, we'll, we'll get there.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh, we'll get there, you know, all in due time.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Right. Uh, and after that, uh, that will, we get the, uh, we got to work towards the last piece, which is on the, um, you got to take that zip line, which by the way, was an awesome touch.
Leon Lionheartly: I love that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was cool.
Leon Lionheartly: And from the top of the roof, uh, uh,
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
neocharge: And this is like collapse building the way they did the level design where it's like, it's awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, it i I was so nauseous.
neocharge: They played on the fear of heights for sure.
Goatlord-Sriobix: i was like, what the fuck?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Especially when you cross the little beam and they point the camera down those motherfuckers.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was such a cool, is it really?
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's like my worst fear in the world, dude. Like I was, yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. The only game that did it better, a fear of heights, last of us part two.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The Last of Us Part 2 is my exact thought.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i I thought that they were invoking that pretty heavily in this, but they did their own thing with it, which was cool.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank
BOrritoSupreme: Brilliant.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I...
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, okay. I could see that. Yeah. Hmm. I hadn't thought about it that way.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But, yeah, you get...
Goatlord-Sriobix: you.
Leon Lionheartly: And the ah glass floors later on that you that you get there, um I immediately went back to my old Counter-Strike days ah because there was custom maps that you could do where the entire battlefield was glass panels.
neocharge: Oh, so cool.
BOrritoSupreme: brilliant
Leon Lionheartly: um So you just shoot the glass panels and watch people fall to their death.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): pretty smart wait really oops okay
neocharge: i don't know how many times I shot the wrong panels and I just fell to my death. Because they would be they would be linked. And I would shoot the one that's not... I'm not standing on. I'm not that dumb. But I would shoot the one adjacent to me. It's like, nope.
neocharge: It's all collapsing. Bye, Leon.
Leon Lionheartly: On my insanity run, i i had the I totally forgot that I was using the RPG with infinite at ammo.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I...
Leon Lionheartly: And I blew up the entire thing and all of the floors collapsed immediately. it
neocharge: Oh my God, that's awesome.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, dude, i had I had a death up there and I'm i'm embarrassed. but So you know i you get past ah where all the panel where you can shoot all the panels and whatnot and they have the zombie with the grenades that's chasing after you.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, I hauled ass because I'm like, I'm out of fucking ammo. I can't do this right now. Hauled ass down there. He blew up the floor and killed us both. I'm like,
neocharge: Dang.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's pretty funny.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I gotta go through this sideways-ass fucking building again.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Yeah. I love that section. It was cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was such a clever design.
Goatlord-Sriobix: no
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It really was.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it was something, dude. It really, really fucked with my stomach the whole time. It's just like...
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it it It was fun, yeah, but like I dreaded it on every playthrough.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah and then And then, of course... but They extended. This is where I was like, oh, it's a great level design and it was cool. But then now where we're continuing is after you get the part, you go up to the top of the roof and then you got to take the the skyline elevator, I think is the best description of it, back down.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: And it's like you got to explore one side, crank a wheel, that go on to the other side, crank a wheel.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, by the way, now you got to fight on the elevator. it was like, guys, even I'm getting tired of this right here.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do agree.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: the The video game trope, especially with Resident Evil. Two cranks, both sides.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: Gotta explore. And that that escape sequence could have been tightened up a little bit for sure.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and And, like, come on. Like, Leon's got enough money to afford a Porsche. Can he get a fucking parachute and just jump?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): further
neocharge: ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, Christ almighty.
BOrritoSupreme: Jetpack, shit.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, I was thinking, i thought I broke the game because like i you know they would jump on the thing and you'd shoot them or or whatever.
neocharge: Jetpack,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then you'd just stand there for like a really long time. And then it would just keep going down.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was like, okay, this is this is a bit much. And then I actually, because on the first playthrough, I hadn't looked at any of the trophies. I was like, is there going be some fucking bullshit trophy where I like can't let them touch this elevator?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): a la the other Resident Evil games.
neocharge: man.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I will say I was really happy that that wasn't the case because half the time, yeah, i half the time I didn't know where the fuck they were coming from, even when when I was looking and I was like, I don't want to do that again.
neocharge: Right, because that's a trophy in four.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: and
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, God.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I've already i've already proved that I can in 4. I don't want to do that again. So I was glad they didn't.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: I hated that part slash trophy in four.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. That was a tough one.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was not great. It was not fun.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Not fun at all.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): For as fun as the rest of that game, it was not
Leon Lionheartly: Although I...
Leon Lionheartly: This is where I knew I got kill happy though because when you find that elevator finally crashes and it hits the ground and you get off on the floor.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, I killed all of those ones.
Leon Lionheartly: Same here.
neocharge: a
Leon Lionheartly: And then I realized later, oh, you're just supposed to just run through. Yeah.
neocharge: Nah. You know those points, baby.
BOrritoSupreme: It's points.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah But yeah, anything else for Raccoon City? Because if not, we got the next section, which I thought it was a little fun. It was interesting. It definitely broke the monotony. um And our favorite friend, Victor Gideon, finally shows up as Leon's leaving on his motorcycle.
Leon Lionheartly: um And...
Goatlord-Sriobix: Bikes.
neocharge: Dude, this sequence was uncharted level.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah did I did have one small other thing about Raccoon City. and it was Going back to Alex's asking about the BSAA
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
Leon Lionheartly: Uh-huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i whatever trailers. don't remember what to call them.
neocharge: Containers?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh Yeah, sure. Containers. That's way better. it is I'm tired. Shut up.
neocharge: I know. No worries.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but yeah ah I had found three of them and I know that there were four in the thing. you know like they In the note, they had said that there were four of them. So I was scouring everywhere to try to find out how to get to the to the other one.
BOrritoSupreme: for the fourth.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and And I was like, well, I'm going to try to go back to the beginning of the zone, realizing you can't through the you know Titan spinner area.
neocharge: Yep, on the other side, yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and But but it it was one of my favorite sections in Raccoon City was when you figured out how to get back and you went back down in the subway tunnel.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was super cool ah how they how they did that.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it was you know perfectly creepy, ah just... You could hear shit. You couldn't really see it well because it was really dark. I mean, if you had your flashlight on, maybe.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But I really, just a quick shout out to that section because I thought that was neat. And it was optional. I mean, you didn't have to do it to continue.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But I was able to figure that out the first time through. And I was pretty proud of that, even though I did get lost down there. Because at one of the points you go back into...
BOrritoSupreme: I did too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the subway tunnel, like where you came out the first time.
neocharge: no
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, wait a minute. Well, how the fuck do I get back now? I got to blow up this gate. Like what? that But that was a ah neat, a neat idea. And then of course, when you get back and you open the container and you're rewarded and then two or three zombies are that were not there before show up and you're just like, oh fuck, do i have to fight my whole way back?
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And on normal, you really didn't. But on insanity, you did.
neocharge: And spiders.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause yeah.
neocharge: Surprise spiders!
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: all A lot of them, too.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was, oh yeah. I did not like that. I did not like that one bit, but I did.
neocharge: Yeah. And they're just like white and creepy.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You could hear them.
neocharge: Loved it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): v
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. It was gross. It was, it was cool and gross.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So anyway.
BOrritoSupreme: White and creepy is the worst.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It is.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
neocharge: Yup.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. But yeah, no, we...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. So the motorcycle section is now.
Leon Lionheartly: we Motorcycle scene, yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um This was... I thought this was really well done. ah you're You're constantly... You get the infinite ammo, which is really nice. um And then Victor's constantly messing with you on the RPGs or with his RPG.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: You've got the dogs that are chasing you down. You've got to try to balance between keeping him off of you and shooting the dogs. um And then at one point,
neocharge: Did you hear their name? their name I know the names. of They were Garms.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): garm Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Garms? Okay. I knew was a weird name. I just...
neocharge: yeah Norse.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, okay.
BOrritoSupreme: Was the name of the dogs?
neocharge: Yeah, Garm.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Why did I think it was Cerberus?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but Because they were Cerberus dogs, but then these became Garms.
neocharge: I mean...
BOrritoSupreme: They mentioned
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: it. Ah, got it. Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm. See, that makes sense.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, that that part was straight up just like one of the animated movies, but like.
neocharge: Uncharted.
BOrritoSupreme: good and interactive.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it was a little wonky because it was like 100% on rails.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Like you had a false sense of freedom as far as being able to steer.
neocharge: Right, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: um But it was cool. I thought the dog design was fucking awesome.
neocharge: They did it well.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, and and then that that jump off of the building. As soon as you you were in the air, I was hitting the screenshot button on my controller so many fucking times.
neocharge: Uh-huh. Because you see the crater in the background and just...
BOrritoSupreme: Stark. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh-huh.
neocharge: Yeah, I think I audibly was like, what the fuck?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep. Yep. That is, that is accurate.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Should have worn a helmet.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
Leon Lionheartly: Should have worked.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know.
neocharge: That...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't know how many times during that sequence I yelled, of course, like, you know, when he's like jumping over buildings and like flying up a thing.
neocharge: who what do you think That's my favorite. That's my favorite. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was just like, of course, that's what we're doing. Of course, that's we're doing. This is great.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's fantastic.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But yeah, so.
neocharge: And then Sherry's like, how how are the roads?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: And he's like, ah a couple of potholes. Right.
BOrritoSupreme: Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: It felt so weird for her to be like, how are the roads, Leon? I don't know. It's a city that was nuked off the map 30 years ago. ah ah But yeah, you you nailed it, Matt.
Leon Lionheartly: um You do that that whatever you want to... so The jousting contest with Victor.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like a samurai showdown joust on on motorcycles but that it
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: ah
Leon Lionheartly: motor cycles ah And then Victor just rolls off the ledge.
neocharge: Right?
neocharge: Yeah, and explodes. And he's like, should have worn a helmet.
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah i saw
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): so ridiculous
Goatlord-Sriobix: Safety first, guys.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's motorcycle 101.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: No.
Leon Lionheartly: As soon as I saw that, I was like, there's no immediately I was like, that doesn't drop Victor.
neocharge: Yeah,
Leon Lionheartly: There's no way that drops Victor.
neocharge: now yeah this is Resident Evil, guys.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. um
neocharge: so It's amazing.
Leon Lionheartly: Did you guys see the mod? they ah I'll have to find it to I'll send you the image. They did that entire scene, but they removed the motorcycle model for Leon and Victor, and then they overlaid it with Crazy Frog.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not see that, but okay, sure.
BOrritoSupreme: a ha ha
neocharge: God, I love the mods.
Leon Lionheartly: And then he's going...
neocharge: i It's a love-hate.
BOrritoSupreme: I've just seen i've seen a mod where they made the motorcycle a wheelchair.
Leon Lionheartly: so
neocharge: Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh my God.
BOrritoSupreme: Ha ha ha ha
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Fuck is wrong with people.
Leon Lionheartly: That is amazing.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also, thank you for your service.
Leon Lionheartly: oh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Random internet folk.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: i'll say I'll send you that guy's video later. But yeah. and then once Leon lands the the motorcycle, goes to his next scene, literally starts right where he left off.
Leon Lionheartly: Or started, rather, should I say, RE2. The OG.
neocharge: We're back.
Leon Lionheartly: We're back. um The exact same... i don' You guys probably noticed the exact same path with the exact same vehicles in the still-marked area.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Which is a little weird because a nuke probably would have pushed a couple of things around. But, yeah, video games.
neocharge: Because of a video game.
Leon Lionheartly: Because video games.
neocharge: Because of nostalgia.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, because nostalgia. And you get up in front of Raccoon's RPD.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was, it was awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: And the gate is...
neocharge: can't believe she's still standing.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, he he opens up the same gate that he locked in RE2.
neocharge: My favorite part of the game. Yup.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm like, fuck.
neocharge: Yup.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, I cried a little bit. like There was like ah legitimate tears in my eyes.
neocharge: Oh.
Goatlord-Sriobix: I'm like, fuck. I felt like a like a young guy again.
neocharge: It was so well done.
Goatlord-Sriobix: not Not a kid at that point, but a young guy again. I was like, damn. i wonder if i remember all this was and sure as fuck like a crackhead kmart i knew exactly where everything was
Leon Lionheartly: ah ah
neocharge: who
BOrritoSupreme: Literally, though.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): please It was heavy in a weird way. Like just, just going back there, there was just, I don't even know how they did it.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah it it resonated so hard emotionally and it was there was they did it was perfect
neocharge: a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It felt. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: using the old music was, ah such a good touch.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yes no
neocharge: Oh, the tone, as soon as you open the door. Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I was about to say that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: oh
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that don't don't don't. It's just all and then the callbacks to RE2 remake with a welcome Leon sign.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: this is this is where the yeah This is where the game went from great to incredible for me.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: the typewriter.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: No, I agree. The only nitpick I had on the scene um or on this part was I wish the like flashbacks, like it would have just been cool if they like redid those cutscenes with Requiem's graphics.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I agree.
BOrritoSupreme: It's different when you watch a movie, like ah ah a live action movie, and they do a flashback and you see the old footage. It's a little different in a video game. It's a little jarring.
BOrritoSupreme: It's...
Goatlord-Sriobix: this a little bit, yeah.
neocharge: I think i would i would disagree because I think they were showing the player the other game. Not necessarily the flashback in this world. They're showing you this is what happened in RE2.
neocharge: So maybe...
Leon Lionheartly: oh
BOrritoSupreme: yeah it ah To me, it just didn't work as well in the medium of video games as it does in a movie.
neocharge: i don't know.
neocharge: Gotcha, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I can understand that.
Leon Lionheartly: that's That's fair. Yeah, I could see that. um But yeah, i I spent most of my time going, oh, hey, I wonder if this thing's still there. Like I needed the side office inside the the police.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes. The puzzles.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, the puzzles that were still solved.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: know
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, it was it was beautiful. ah
neocharge: yeah And a new puzzle, a new puzzle with ah Barry.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm. Hey.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. His a little scavenger hunt.
neocharge: Yeah. Which I was kind of lost a couple of times.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: I, it took me a while to find that code.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: And then I stared at the code for a while.
Leon Lionheartly: No.
neocharge: i was like, okay. All right. yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Well,
neocharge: Finding that picture was like, yeah. You dirty dogs.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's ah It's a throwback for sure.
neocharge: So good.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): How bad did you guys...
neocharge: I wish that basketball wasn't there.
BOrritoSupreme: Wes Wesker's a freak.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, how bad did you guys feel when you saw that cop that was in the hallway as a zombie?
Goatlord-Sriobix: He's into Tomboys. Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: Thank you for your...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And yeah, rest in peace, officer.
neocharge: Yeah. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you for your service.
neocharge: Rest easy, officer.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like rest easy.
neocharge: yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was just like, because I mean, you had to, you know ah but i felt I felt really bad.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like I didn't want to do it.
BOrritoSupreme: I did too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i felt horrible.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then there was the zombie that was banging his head on the vending machine, also a throwback.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: He was like, some things never change.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: yep ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: And then a stupid nitpicky one, but I loved it. and don't know if you guys noticed it. the and In RE2, the guy who had the bottom of his jaw gone, his skeleton's there in RE9 with missing the jaw.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, missing job.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was so cool.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It really was just a nice touch. And then of course, yeah, when you're going down the, well, I don't know if tofu spawns in the same spot for everybody.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, that's where I ran into tofu.
BOrritoSupreme: He
BOrritoSupreme: he has two or three different spawns, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I, I,
Goatlord-Sriobix: Spawn's in the window right there. That's one of the spawn points.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): okay and obviously i had no fucking idea you know i just running down the hallway and then i hear this like me and it's like what and i look and i just see this like hat on a block run by and i fucking lost it i was so happy for how stupid and ridiculous it was but also weirdly touching was like i i did this i did all this like yeah it was it was cool yeah
neocharge: Yeah, he didn't spawn there for me.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: you
neocharge: Yeah. It was for the fans, man.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: Dude, tofu is eternal.
BOrritoSupreme: No, it was. it was. And then there was the bittersweet part, like, cause fucking love Barry. Barry is the man and you get the, you know, the zoo tickets, which was a great throwback or a great Easter egg for, um, Resident Evil outbreak.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Um, is the zoo is one of the locations.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Um, but like you get his checklist, um, like things to do. And one of them has to pick up the girls and you're like, Oh,
neocharge: o yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: You know Barry's story and you're just like, man, like just that glimpse into the life of these characters that we grew up with, like before the outbreak.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It was really cool to just get a little, little peek in that window.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: ah loved it.
neocharge: Mm-hmm. And Marvin's daughter.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: oh
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): man
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: and So before I figured out Barry's scavenger hunt, um I went in to sell Rebecca's bag. Because like the same items from two that you can expect ah inspect are there still in Requiem.
Leon Lionheartly: So like the jacket's still there.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: um And then you still have ah Rebecca's bag. And there was a piece of me that was wondering if they kept an Easter egg. So I inspected that bag 50 times in a row thinking, oh, maybe I'll get an Easter egg and then I'll get...
neocharge: Oh my god.
Leon Lionheartly: I must looked like an idiot. I was' not i didn't obviously wasn't streaming that part, but I just sat there XXXXXX going, please give it to me. I want her picture.
neocharge: That's amazing.
Leon Lionheartly: And then I completed the Barry's side question. i was like, oh, I'm an idiot. I spent 15 minutes for no fucking reason.
BOrritoSupreme: yes
neocharge: ah
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: I think one of the best Easter eggs in the game is in this sequence where you get the tickets, where you open the locker.
Leon Lionheartly: uh
neocharge: There's a PS1 with PS1 games in there and Mega Man's in there.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: yes
Goatlord-Sriobix: it's It's also the scariest part of the game, too. You see all those bare discs sitting there?
neocharge: Oh my god, that was the real horror of this game.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That bothered me. This is the worst scene.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's the real evil..........
neocharge: That was, yeah, that was the scariest part for me.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: It was just seeing these caseless fucking bare discs sitting in the dust. wonder if that PS1 still works. Probably not, there's no power.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Yeah, I don't think so there.
neocharge: know But dude, i was I was scouring the games. i was like, ah, Mega Man! Just all kinds of awesome, cool shit.
Leon Lionheartly: ah there it is.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep, there it is.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. Caleb shared a screenshot of it.
neocharge: Yep. Sharing the picture.
Leon Lionheartly: um did I saw that just, oh, that was amazing.
neocharge: o no
Leon Lionheartly: The Mega Man 8.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: oh
neocharge: Yeah. It was Capcom that's like, we we're here for you guys. Thank you for everything you've done and everything you've played. This game's for you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was a Capcom flex and i feel like they earned it.
BOrritoSupreme: you
neocharge: It was.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So that's fine.
neocharge: Oh my god. ga Capcom is...
Leon Lionheartly: and Every little piece they gave us. like You happen to get the the jack to be able to get back into the backside ah of the that would have been the east wing.
neocharge: Right? Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: of of the And it's like that was there because Leon left it there 28 years earlier.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's so smart.
neocharge: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's amazing.
Leon Lionheartly: like ah And then
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: and then of course we get probably the worst part of the game after RPD.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: the problem
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. It is. Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah, easily.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Probably?
neocharge: Easily.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah ah
neocharge: It's cool the first It's cool the first time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I wasn't a fan the next few times.
neocharge: it's cool the first time And then...
Leon Lionheartly: it is
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like
neocharge: Yeah, no. it it needed
BOrritoSupreme: I wasn't a big fan the first time. I was like, this is just the sherry part from Resident Evil 2.
neocharge: It's cool for storytelling. It's a good storytelling. right at least
BOrritoSupreme: It could have been a cutscene.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that...
neocharge: At least there wasn't a fucking speedrun trophy like they had in the 2 remake for the Sherry section 9.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's true. No, I did feel it's weird because as much as I would argue it's a game, let me play it. That was one after the first time. I feel like they should have just been like, do you want to skip this?
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Or do you want to just watch it?
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like, I would have rather it been a faster cutscene, personally.
Leon Lionheartly: good
BOrritoSupreme: I'm playing um Silent Hill F um with the PSSR 2.0 update because I was on my third playthrough and it got me to a part and it was like, do you want to skip this part and go immediately to the next like sequence?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Nice.
BOrritoSupreme: And I was like, yes, because I've already done this twice. I don't need to do it again.
neocharge: That's awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that's smart.
neocharge: It
BOrritoSupreme: oh just something simple like that.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that would have been good. Yeah, I thought about it. But outside of the...
neocharge: it was scary. I liked it.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, that's what I was going to say.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That's the first part. is that was That was creepy. yeah Little creepy dirt girls a la The Shining Twins.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: They get to me so much. I'm like, oh.
neocharge: Red eyes. They're fucking snapping people's necks and shit. You're just like, Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Laughing about it the whole time.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah It was horrifying.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): like The first time through, was I was just like, no, thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, thank you. But in a good way, in a survival horror way.
neocharge: right yeah yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. But yeah, that definitely was, like you said, Matt, that was a that was a good storytelling angle. But um we once you get through that, and that takes 15 minutes or so, um you you end up right back at RPT with Leon dealing with a tyrant again.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: yeah not the tyrant just another yeah
Leon Lionheartly: what them No, a tyrant. yeah and That was one of my other favorite lines is the I remember you.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and then that
neocharge: And I remember that, too.
Leon Lionheartly: are ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Thank you.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
Leon Lionheartly: It was a little weird because ah yeah like you run through the upper section and then it's like, where did the tyrant go? This makes no sense.
neocharge: Right.
Leon Lionheartly: RE2, he would have kept going for you.
neocharge: Yeah. And then the section with, like, the the helicopter part or plane part, I don't know, but it was going through the wall. I died the first time because I was like, how is this game doing this?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't understand.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought it was a glitch. I really did.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like I i thought that the graphic was just like flying out of the thing.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause I was like, what the fuck am I supposed to do? I can't what? And then I just got cut in half. I was like, Oh, I guess.
neocharge: Right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It took a few times for me to realize it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): mean, I ran back the second time and I was like, uh, I guess I'm okay here.
neocharge: Crazy.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. It
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then he showed up and burst through the wall, you know, but that, that was a weird choice for them. I think.
neocharge: you
Leon Lionheartly: it was still a good call out to the second one.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. It's Mr. X. Fucking awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah i Being chased through the walls as he's busting through. But um yeah, ah we we get through Mr. X and then we've got the little segment right beforehand um dealing with the car garage and um everybody's favorite gun shop.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, Kendo.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Kendo.
Leon Lionheartly: Good old Kendo. That cutscene got me.
neocharge: Some flashbacks. Oh, tear jerking. Tear jerking. It was like, ah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: And this was the guilt thing, playing on the fear of guilt, because he's like literally above their ashes. And he's like, I failed you. I'm sorry.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: He's like, I...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Now that was a neat addition as well.
neocharge: Oh. Oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Because, yeah, you could just tell that it started to get to him more and more for like all the badassery that we had been dealing with so far in the game. You finally get more of this.
neocharge: Saw some human.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like this was really hard for him to go back through. That was a really well done.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: Yeah. urge Traumatic and touches on PTSD.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It does. It does a really good job of it too.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: um I know Matt struggled with ah getting those postcards for the 1998. Did anybody else have trouble with them?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I got, are there five total?
neocharge: I missed the last one.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: ah Five, yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. So I got three of them, but apparently I didn't get them in the right order or like the, ah the next one doesn't spawn until you get the previous one.
neocharge: Oh,
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I think I had gone through the garage area first.
neocharge: Right.
neocharge: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I never found anything in there. And then whatever I found the next one. And then when I went back, like, I didn't know, I just assumed that they, that my game was bugged. And then I think you told me, you were like, no, no, no, you have to get the previous one first.
neocharge: a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, how the fuck did I get the previous one? After I visited the garage, like it didn't make sense in my mind, but when I went back, it was there. So oops, you know, I did eventually get involved, but not the first time through.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I only got three the first time through.
neocharge: Yeah, and some cool additional storytelling too. Like Marvin had a daughter.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that was real. That hit me harder than I thought it would when I, when I finally finished it, I was like, I mean, I had an idea that it was her or who who the dad was, but then when it was confirmed, I was just like, ah, damn it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I felt terrible.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: I had her shoes.
Leon Lionheartly: ah I think even you find her shoes and then he apologizes afterwards when he's picking up the, ah the, yeah the reward for that.
neocharge: Oof.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And then you go right into probably one of my favorite fights in the game, if not my favorite personally for me against the super tyrant.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That bike was cool.
neocharge: Yeah. So cool.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: That one was ah that was a great callback.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: um Old school boss fight arena. um There's and then of course the pairing process made this significantly easier this time.
neocharge: ah Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I felt like such a badass the first time you parried him, like with that long, you know, when he's like, whatever that is, it that there's this like mini cut scene.
neocharge: Which I think...
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was just, at first I thought I failed and he was going to just cut my head off or something. But then when it follows through, i was just like, oh God, yeah, that was awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It just felt really cool.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: and the the expression on ah the tyrant's face is like, huh? Huh?
Leon Lionheartly: yeah This worked the last time, damn it.
neocharge: Yeah. Leon's like, i ain't that kid anymore, bitch.
Leon Lionheartly: good Yeah.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: i do The way he kills him too, or just uses a hatchet to fucking chop at us in.
neocharge: Oh, yeah. Yep. And then, dude, when he goes up on the building, when he's up on the building, and he has the the rocket from the helicopter, and Leon's like, oh, fuck.
Leon Lionheartly: like
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): well
neocharge: Or, oh, shit. And he throws the fucking rocket.
Leon Lionheartly: I forgot about that.
neocharge: Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh,
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I loved when he would like launch the cars up in the air.
Leon Lionheartly: oh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): You know, if you were hiding or launch them towards you, I guess that was just a cool touch because again, dynamic, like the vehicles could move and they could hurt you and you could dodge them or you could like hide behind another car and hope for the best. like That was just a ah really smart boss arena.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought.
neocharge: You can parry the cars.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes, you can.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not try that.
neocharge: and Neither did i I saw a video.
BOrritoSupreme: Ha ha ha ha ha.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I didn't need to, but...
neocharge: He's like, Leon can parry anything. And Yeah, i had no idea.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's awesome.
neocharge: I didn't think that was possible. That that is awesome. The axe is the best fucking weapon in the game.
Leon Lionheartly: Apparently.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, um so after that, we've got the little train sequence. This was my uncharted moment.
neocharge: Oh yeah, Uncharted 2.
Leon Lionheartly: um Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Dripping with Uncharted 2. What?
Leon Lionheartly: When you, when, because as soon as you got in, I was like, it's going to happen, isn't it? Right? This is going to happen. And it and then it does.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure did.
Leon Lionheartly: And you come out of the the train and he finally lands on the ground. He's like, well, I guess this is my stop.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that was a good one.
BOrritoSupreme: I love you.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yup. Yup. ye
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was a good one.
Leon Lionheartly: ah And this is, of course, all leading up to the ARC facility. um
neocharge: Yeah, before that, the plants kind of threw me off. I thought we were getting a callback to eight because it looked a lot like eights, roots, and plants. And I was like, oh, is the e-virus here?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: And they even called it the fucking e-virus. um That's why I thought it was the e-virus at the end.
Leon Lionheartly: Uh-huh.
neocharge: But yeah, I thought, but it being plant 43 or whatever from two, and it just had grown wild.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Awesome. Awesome.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The best part is you had not gotten to that section yet.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then route destroyed your snowboard. And that's all I could think about. I was like, it's because the fucking plant 43 is after him trying to get him to come back and play the game.
BOrritoSupreme: I
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like sincerely, I wanted to say that so badly, but I knew you weren't there yet.
neocharge: ah yeah yeah like what have you mm-hmm so good and then there was a boss fight a legend of zelda boss fight so yeah loved it but yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, that's good.
BOrritoSupreme: and just thought they brought back the plans from RE2. I was just...
Leon Lionheartly: Which was a lot of fun. ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was fun. That was a good fight.
Leon Lionheartly: i like to I like how you had to finish it by like it dropped the the the whatever the gasoline tanks next to it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: explosive canisters yeah yeah but the yeah the arc door so fucking cool umbrella logo and then it like create it turns into the umbrella logo how it unlocks oh so good it was
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, the design of that door was was neat.
Leon Lionheartly: I...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was just a really cool design.
Leon Lionheartly: and And that entrance to it, if you guys, when you go you do you go do to the door, if you look, there is a elevator right next to that area, which heavily implies that's how Zeno and Grace got down into the facility to begin with.
neocharge: yep yep attention to detail
Leon Lionheartly: ah And then, of course, we've got the Ark. This is where um you have to play as Grace.
neocharge: Oh.
Leon Lionheartly: um And you don't have to Requiem this time.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Well, he plays Leon first, right?
Leon Lionheartly: to make things um
neocharge: He plays Leon first, and that's where you when you're introduced to the... We got to talk about the hunk fight.
BOrritoSupreme: Leon for like 10 minutes.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah, you're right. It is first the Leon and then the Grace, then back to Leon afterwards.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, God.
neocharge: Yeah. Then you're you're introduced to the Umbrella Operatives that fuck your shit up on Insanity. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. And then, dude, i have i I saw the liquor in the tank and I was like, is
Leon Lionheartly: I...
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: ah did it are there liquors in the game? Because i it was kind of spoiled. You tried to avert it, Bob, and you did an awesome job. So I was still like, I'm going to shoot this tank. I'm to fucking shoot this tank.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes.
neocharge: And I shot the tank and I was like, ah!
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. That was so...
neocharge: Fucking liquors were terrifying. They nailed their design. Nailed it.
BOrritoSupreme: Lickers in first person was next level terrifying.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Um,
neocharge: Yep. Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yes
Leon Lionheartly: and
neocharge: I'm so glad I was in first person for that section.
Goatlord-Sriobix: you
neocharge: But we got to talk about the commander fight or whatever. It was Hunk. We fought Hunk.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): that was so
neocharge: It's so good. it Just a callback to the Resident Evil 4 knife fight with... ah What's his name? Fucking... Yep. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: I'm blinking on knew you were about His commander.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): John-Claude Van Damme.
neocharge: Krauser, Krauser, Krauser.
Leon Lionheartly: Krauser.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): browserer yeah
Leon Lionheartly: That's it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: um But it was... It was Hunk. I was like... our is That's... As soon as he showed up, i was like... The Leo meme, I was like, are they doing that?
neocharge: And I'm like, they've...
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: They've been... feeding us the whole time. I think they're doing it. And then when he, like, I wanted to see the death sequence because I was like, what's the death sequence? When he snaps your neck and he then he does that, I'm like, it's fucking Hulk!
neocharge: ah So, yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was
Leon Lionheartly: There was a lot of good alliteration to him, and I appreciated it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i was a little disappointed when the fight was over that Leon didn't say, what a hunk.
neocharge: ah Oh, yeah. That would have been cool.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It would have been stupid.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It would have been dumber than anything else. But I would have.
Leon Lionheartly: but
neocharge: Well, you if you know, you know, though.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, it's true.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. I mean, he does he does say ah tell ah Sherry that he was one tough son of a bitch.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. It wasn't confirmed in the game, but someone did. I mean, in that the execution sequence where he does the jazz hands after.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well,
neocharge: I mean, but it was confirmed. People data mined it. It is old hunk is what he's called.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and it's it's the same voice actor from who voiced it who voiced Hunk back in, like was it 2 remake that Hunk shows up?
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Ah, there you go.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: There you go.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, it should have two remake, yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. I loved this fight.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, I didn't realize it was the same.
neocharge: It was awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, didn't realize it was the same voice actor.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah That's the only reason that I put it together because I didn't actually really consider it the first time I fought him. i was just like, God, what an asshole. Like he, I mean, it was cool. it was a really cool fight.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then when the game was over, when I rolled credits, I had noticed some of the voice actors, you know, watching the credits of the game. And I was looking for who voiced the commander because he just sounded familiar to me and I missed it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I went on IMDB and I found that actor and i was like, wait a minute. And then I, you know, tapped his name and I saw that he also did resident evil too.
BOrritoSupreme: Nice.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, Oh my God, it did it's fucking honk for sure.
neocharge: Fucking hunk.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: that that that would make That would definitely make sense. and i I agree with you. that His boss fight was amazing. Very Metal Gear Solid-esque.
neocharge: missing
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that was cool.
neocharge: Yep. Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. And he didn't die. You, you kill him. i mean, you slice him, but then you go back to look for the body. He's not there. And I think, I think it was maybe hunk's way of trying to get out of the, uh,
neocharge: collective, ah his organization he was with.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hmm.
neocharge: it was kind of his way of getting out of that and faking a death.
Leon Lionheartly: Hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: I could see that. Yeah, absolutely.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I'm pretty sure we talked about this. This was the area I almost softlocked myself on Insanity.
neocharge: Oh, dang.
Leon Lionheartly: Because as soon as Hunk's dead, it auto-saves, and then you get ambushed by two BSAA agents, and then you have, if you hit restart, you have like one, maybe one and a half seconds to respond.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And they gun you down really quick in and on an Insanity mode.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: So I would just literally spawn, get shot in the head, and then be like, oh, I guess I'll hit restart.
neocharge: Damn.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, look, I got shot in the head. I was oh i was so pissed.
neocharge: Oh, shit.
Leon Lionheartly: i almost saw i managed I don't remember how I managed to break the cycle. I think I just literally said, screw it. um RPG to whom it may concern and got lucky. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, I got super lucky because obviously i didn't expect it.
BOrritoSupreme: Woo-hoo!
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And when you guys were telling me, because you had done it first, at least Bo had, I don't i think Bob, you might've done it first as well, where you were just like, let me know how you like that mercenary section.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And so I got through the first two, I was expecting there to be like dudes behind me or whatever.
Leon Lionheartly: but
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, that wasn't any different. I mean, it was a little harder, but it wasn't, you know, nothing crazy. and Then I beat Hunk and i just pure happenstance luck happened to be like,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): running behind a pillar when shots were fired and i was like what the fuck like i mean it it just it startled me and then i like poked my head out you know and like and i was like you sons of bitches and then i you know healed up and i was able to handle it but i was like that's what they were talking about but i had no idea i was assuming that i was done so that that was fuckery that was again capcom and their troll mode you were absolutely right about
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: Yep.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, that's some fuckery.
neocharge: Right.
BOrritoSupreme: oh literally.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: Literally.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that was another troll moment. And of course, you still had more that respond on the stairs and stuff as you're going up and finishing that sequence for Leon. um But yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Then it cuts to Grace's part. And Leon's hurting real bad.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. no
neocharge: And I think at this point, i it it it gave me control of Grace.
Leon Lionheartly: Really bad.
neocharge: And Leon was like, not doing too well. And I was like, I don't like where this is going. And I just sit down as Grace. And I'm like, all right, well, this ended well. Leon's still alive. This is a great game. Ready for my speed run.
neocharge: not going to play anymore.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Because Leon's still alive.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): youth So in that cut scene, in that cut scene before you are grace though, is my favorite Leon one liner. And that's when they jump off the thing, like to escape Zeno and that bullshit.
neocharge: Oh yeah. million bucks.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And he's bleeding and he's coughing up blood.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's just like fucking miserable. They land on this, I don't know, half-assed weird lab crane thing. And Grace says something like, Leon, are you okay?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And he just says, me? feel like a million bucks. But he's got blood running down his face, and he's clearly like fucking dying.
Leon Lionheartly: We've,
BOrritoSupreme: I
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was the best.
Leon Lionheartly: sorry
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I laughed so hard at that one. It's my favorite. It is.
neocharge: I think he gives a little thumbs up too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i
neocharge: He's like, I'll be like a million bucks.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: so
neocharge: He's like bleeding from all his orifices.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: can lean on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Oh
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was just like the perfect...
Leon Lionheartly: ah we
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): untrue statement it's great oh yeah
Leon Lionheartly: I was the exact opposite. by we We've missed mine. It's when he's getting interrogated by Victor in the chair. And he goes, when was the last time you brushed your teeth?
neocharge: oh yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: and Because I thought of that scene from Casino Royale when he's getting tortured in the chair.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh yeah little to the left yeah
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Amen. Amen.
Leon Lionheartly: And he's like, hey, can you go ahead and scratch my balls real quick with that? That's exactly where I thought went with it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: It's taunting his towards the torturer. ah
neocharge: Oh, man.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, um Grace's section, this was you'd like you to scary, especially with those ah those those liquors and you just you're like, oh crap, I got to go really slow and crouch.
neocharge: Scary as fuck.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was fun though, man. It was, that was a really fun section for me at least.
BOrritoSupreme: one
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I, I, yeah.
neocharge: This in first person.
BOrritoSupreme: And then the acid, the acid vials you get and the return of naked zombies.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: was like, can't have a laptop without naked zombies.
neocharge: Yeah, new enemy type. yeah Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I mean, new old enemy type, but yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Well, new enemy type for the game. for work wreck Requiem. Jesus.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. You know, this is the one area that kind of... Lickers are great and they're notorious, but we're missing the best bio ah regular enemy bioweapon in the game, in my opinion, in the series.
neocharge: The Hunter.
BOrritoSupreme: Hunters.
Leon Lionheartly: You know it, gentlemen.
BOrritoSupreme: That's my favorite.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ro
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): fuck those things man I mean they're they're awesome but
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: they were
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: They were a highlight in the Resident Evil 3 remake, so I was happy to get them back.
neocharge: I'm fan.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I would have loved to heard the her those feet just going to do do as you come around the corner.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh! Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): then you just get decapitated from off screen like in Resident Evil Alex do you remember the hunters from the earlier games Yeah, God, fuck those things.
neocharge: Triggered.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Triggered. Triggered.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Now the call is just like, shoing!
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And this was the part of the game where you get the recipe, I think. maybe Maybe we talked about it. Sorry, I was distracted with the kiddo. But this is where you finally get a recipe to turn the coins in this area and to scrap.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: Which I never knew.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, yeah, I guess I'll be here.
neocharge: I found that out after I beat it three times.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, I still didn i didn't know that.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, yeah! got
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I didn't remember that.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Because
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. Is it in the safe?
Leon Lionheartly: you get coins up.
neocharge: Is the rest of you in the safe?
Leon Lionheartly: Uh...
neocharge: Because I missed a safe. One safe.
Leon Lionheartly: I think it was in a safe. Yeah.
neocharge: And it was the one before the archives, which...
Leon Lionheartly: Yep.
neocharge: Man, yeah, that the yeah liquor part, first person, incredible. Like, liquors and survival horror, like it's mashing the the two. It's like, this fucking works.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: oh
Leon Lionheartly: yeah You said the safe. ah That was one thing I was really loved about this was you could go into a safe or something like that that had a puzzle and there was an option to pull up all of your documents right there.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: So I could be like, oh, I know what the safe combo is, but I don't remember the document and I didn't have to exit a menu to go into a menu to exit a menu to go back into it.
neocharge: Yes.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: And then by the time that time passes, my ADHD brain forgot the passcode.
neocharge: Yep. Quality life, man. Loved it. Yeah. um And we get a bombshell of a story beat.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: And ah it shows Grace's mom interviewing Spencer. Spencer returns in the wheelchair.
neocharge: so
BOrritoSupreme: Well, this was the moment that the game like confirmed to me that this was um the actual Ashcroft.
BOrritoSupreme: Because I was like, I mean, she looks like her from Outbreak, but she's not really given reporter in this game.
neocharge: and
Leon Lionheartly: hello
neocharge: A
BOrritoSupreme: And then that was the point that was like, ah, okay, yep, there it is.
neocharge: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: There's the reporter that I know.
Leon Lionheartly: That's a very good point. Yeah, that that was it. And then, of course, this was the the that that interview was the part that I really did not fucking like from a continuity standpoint.
neocharge: little little bit of a retcon.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, ah definitely retconned lot of well, five.
BOrritoSupreme: we're completely ignoring five five is yeah oh no it's gonna get remade and they're gonna change all of it including leaving wesker alive
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: I think they are too.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Which is weird.
Goatlord-Sriobix: They have to now.
neocharge: ah I'll play it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: no
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I just, I don't know. For as for as much shit as 5 got, because it was like such ah such a change in the style of game, I really liked, i loved the way that they
neocharge: I loved it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): didn't hold back with the story. They were like, no, we're going like move on from this.
BOrritoSupreme: No, same.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): We're going to do this. And now the fact that they probably aren't like, yes, I, I do miss having the infinite Wesker of just like, i you know, that fucking superpower dude is following me around.
neocharge: right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I miss it a little bit, but I also don't need it. I don't need, I'd like, i like what they did. They had most of this game without Wesker, like without that, like Xeno was not introduced until much later.
BOrritoSupreme: We had generic ass Wesker though.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, okay, Yeah. and And, but that was when it was just like, oh, okay. You know, the rest of it was already great. I didn't need that extra little thing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, I mean, whatever. I'm sure in the remake of five, I'm going to eat it up because I'm me But right now I'm just like, man.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Well, we've just had nothing but one-off villains. You know, these guys were one-off. Mother Miranda was one-off.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: What's her name? Eve or whatever her name was.
neocharge: Yep, Evie.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: And Evie was one-off. Like, bring it back. It's kind of like when the Saw movies, they killed Jigsaw and Saw 3, and they're like, oh, shit, like, we have this huge franchise.
BOrritoSupreme: Why would we kill him off? Like, bring it back.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: that That would make sense.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's why you can't watch the movies in release order......................
BOrritoSupreme: Right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That was cool.
Leon Lionheartly: No, that would make sense.
BOrritoSupreme: Especially with clones. like Clones are all over the Resident Evil franchise. i don't care they're musk or clones.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, but that's that's a they're literally generating bioweapons.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That's kind of what they're doing. which My favorite document of the game is in the Ark. where it like it's It's the sales flyer for all of the bioweapons, and then it's like prices at descriptions and
BOrritoSupreme: Yes, mine too. Uh-huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): was cool
Leon Lionheartly: yeah You get to the tyrant that says, comes with trench coat and over over hat to blend into public.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: and I'm like, you look like Ralph McIntyre.
neocharge: Yeah, it's like price will be negotiated.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah you look like Yeah, it's a trench coat and it's effective as Rafi from ah Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
neocharge: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah He blends in as an 11 foot tall man. Like the trench coat and hat is going to help.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But you know what?
Leon Lionheartly: ah
BOrritoSupreme: It's like, why is it taking so long to get like a document like that that actually showed Umbrella profiting off of the BOWs?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Come on.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: hope
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, so Grace comes to her her conclusion. um She gets the bombshell and then that cuts back over to Leon right afterwards. ah
neocharge: ah she She's adopted by Spencer, and she's kind of a nobody.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, she's been adopted.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: air
BOrritoSupreme: Hey, I was fine with it.
Leon Lionheartly: We'll get we'll get there.
neocharge: but a But apparently, yeah, no, me too. Apparently, she's still immune to the virus because she got bit in the beginning by the cop.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: So she's got some immunity.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah,
BOrritoSupreme: well i Well, I also, i don't think it's that necessarily either because we saw people get bit by other zombies. They never turned. Like the one, i mean, the one nurse with Leon got fucking chainsawed.
BOrritoSupreme: But like we saw people get bitten in the streets and nobody else turned, I think is just a different...
neocharge: The first lady turned, or the first guy got his nose bit off, and didn't he turn? Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: No, he died. He was dead.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): he just died.
BOrritoSupreme: And nobody else in the street.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, because the lady...
Leon Lionheartly: boom
BOrritoSupreme: They just died. Yeah, none of the other people.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The lady got shot by ah Victor's thing. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I figured it was just a different strain or something that didn't pass that way.
neocharge: Gotcha. Oh,
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: That was kind of how I wrote that off.
neocharge: okay. Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah That was my because.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It's also in one of the offices too when like, I think it's the first office you go to to get the first prism. There's the one zombie eating the corpse. The lady that was on the ground didn't turn either.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, because there are corpses, you're right.
neocharge: Oh yeah, he's like, you're fired.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah I forgot about that.
Goatlord-Sriobix: but
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: <unk>
Leon Lionheartly: i I took it as a because video game moment.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Because like you you look at the other Resident Evil games and it's like, oh, I got bit and I took damage, but I'm not infected kind of a situation.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
Leon Lionheartly: So that was a because video game moment.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Green herbs, baby. Solves everything. and The U.S.
neocharge: right.
BOrritoSupreme: a
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): government can't solve that problem. they They can't make green herbs.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh my god
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Only the green herbs can solve the problem.
Leon Lionheartly: The blue ones are are going to help you with the poison.
neocharge: ah so
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: m
BOrritoSupreme: Going back to Grace just being just Plain old Grace I was just happy that you know It didn't end with somebody going What's your name? And she goes Skywalker Skywalker
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Ashcroft.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): a
neocharge: Grace Ashcroft.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Grace Kennedy.
Leon Lionheartly: Oh, shit.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Want her to look right at the camera and say, Emily, and then turn into a giant hideous monster.
neocharge: a
Leon Lionheartly: Don't you do that.
Goatlord-Sriobix: no
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And that's the end of Resident Evil Requiem.
neocharge: Speaking of the end, after ah after for the grace section, ah oh, God.
Leon Lionheartly: Leon passes out um because you have to go back through.
neocharge: I was just dreading this entire thing. was like, are you going to do it? They did it on mine.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was scared shitless that they were. I was. i just...
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm so glad I didn't choose yours first.
neocharge: Ugh.
Leon Lionheartly: I will i won't say before we get to the ending, I don't know if you guys saw that clip.
neocharge: Ugh.
Leon Lionheartly: Somebody is Leon in that specific section is trying to sneak ah past ah the lickers. And then that trigger sequence for his cough hits.
Leon Lionheartly: So he goes but but right in front of all of the lickers and they turn around like soldiers in a Metal Gear Solid game.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh my gosh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's awesome. I have not seen that, but I love it.
Leon Lionheartly: if
neocharge: and that was That was a cool mechanic and added to the fear because, like, Leon, you're a badass.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
neocharge: and You just fuck everything up. But then, like, he's hindered and you're hindered as a player and at the most inopportune times, right?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: So, no, we're not.
Leon Lionheartly: who
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And they weren't scripted. I mean, like it wasn't as soon as you walk in this doorway, it's going to happen. No, it was just dependent on how long you had been playing since the last time, which was very smart.
neocharge: Yeah. Right.
Leon Lionheartly: and and they did the ah after like so Grace catches up with le Leon after he's leaning against the door and she breaks a boy awake and he's like just resting my eyes laughing laughing laughing
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): look
Goatlord-Sriobix: Such a bad response, bro. I heard that so many times from my father.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah, that ah that ending, um I'm pretty sure the consensus here is everybody except for Matt all selected one option on the first try, right?
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah I uh have had subtext I paid attention just to subtext
neocharge: So
Leon Lionheartly: You want to talk about it?
neocharge: here's the thing.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): it's clobbering time
neocharge: Okay. Yeah. ah I was thinking for a bit that the E-virus, that the Elpis was the E-virus. So that was a correlation there, right?
neocharge: um Because it's called the fucking E-virus and Elpis, right? Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Okay. Okay.
neocharge: So one and two, Spencer has always been the bad guy at Resident Evil. And they kind of retconned it from here. Three, I wasn't going to go against Leon's wishes.
neocharge: I was blinded by his promise um that I made to him. And he was like, promise me you'll destroy it. And she she never really promised. But me as a player, i was like, you got it, Leon.
neocharge: No problem. So I didn't want to go against what Leon wanted. And that's another thing. Leon thought he was making the right choice, saving humanity, but he was dooming it.
neocharge: And he had good intent. So I don't know.
Leon Lionheartly: No.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): No, I don't blame you though. I don't.
BOrritoSupreme: The issue is
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Cause it didn't take, I didn't go up to the computer and immediately make that call.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i I hesitated cause I was like, fuck, do I, do I listen to Leon or do I, do I think, do I think I know what's really going on?
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And honestly, the thing that made me change my mind was when Grace, I mean, she, we've seen her grow throughout this whole game. And right before that choice,
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): when she tells Leon like to trust her, it's like, she has a plan and he says, I trust you.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And it was like, okay, I think, I think I know.
neocharge: Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I fully expected to like do the wrong thing and just kill us all. It's just be like, well, I made a mistake. But ah yeah, it it, it wasn't just like a clear cut and dry thing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I stared at that computer screen for, for a couple minutes.
neocharge: It was great. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did.
neocharge: It was it was the the moment we all had before on another game that I won't mention because this isn't that spoiler cast. It was one of those moments where the choice came up and I put down the controller and I'm like, you motherfuckers.
neocharge: And good 10 minutes.
BOrritoSupreme: difference is when you press like L2, she literally types in the word destruction and narrates it
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: and you're And you still sat there and listened to that and thought, this is the right choice.
neocharge: Thank
Leon Lionheartly: yeah who See, I'm a um'm a practical guy. Zeno says any wrong password will immediately destroy this.
neocharge: you.
Leon Lionheartly: and this is before And this is when they first get to ARK and Leon first catches up with him. He escapes with grace, but instead of destroying it, he jumps off the ledge. If it were me, I would have just pressed A on the keyboard, hit enter, and ran.
Leon Lionheartly: As I'm leaving...
BOrritoSupreme: a
neocharge: Until
Leon Lionheartly: if that was his If that was the game's intention to destroy the virus, they glaringly omitted an opportune time.
BOrritoSupreme: He could have done the the Skeletor meme.
Leon Lionheartly: Yes.
neocharge: then.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah Exactly. and when
neocharge: till then
Leon Lionheartly: yeah And then when that didn't happen, and then Grace is kind of like, they give you the the documents, and then Grace is like, I have a plan.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And Leon just says, I trust you. was like, oh, okay. I see what they're going for.
neocharge: Well, when you when you do the release Alpus, even Spencer is like, hope. i All I want is hope. But then he's like, blind hope.
neocharge: And I'm like, is he still villain? Is he still villain? Fuck. They got me. That was a traumatic video game ah event for me.
neocharge: ah The bad ending.
Leon Lionheartly: I hadn't seen it yet.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Oh, I know. I saw your clip.
BOrritoSupreme: I hadn't either. I watched it as you streamed.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: i Yeah, I had never seen it before, and I was like, oh, wow.
Leon Lionheartly: my God. Yeah.
neocharge: Uh-huh. And I was like, no, they're and they're not going to do this.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I had...
BOrritoSupreme: either
neocharge: And then they did.
BOrritoSupreme: Your reaction.
neocharge: And I was like, I screamed. and like And before that, he's like, at least I could save you.
neocharge: And I'm like, no, no, no. no no no no And I put the controller down.
BOrritoSupreme: He's watching his brain blown out.
neocharge: I didn't even put the controller down after that. I didn't even process that. I was like, nope, that didn't happen. yeah let's And thankfully, Capcom knows you're in that mindset. set And it's like, do you want to you want to try that again?
neocharge: Like, do you want to try that again? I'm like, yes, yes, that didn't happen. I didn't see that. That doesn't exist. So, yeah, if you do the bad ending, it'll say, yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Wait, it asked you if you wanted to try it again?
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: you just saw what happened, right? Let's do a redo.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): i didn't know that it asked you that. That's wild.
neocharge: it It rolls credits early.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So Leon gets his head fucking blown off. And then it's like, Grace is just maniacally crying. Like now, then it just cuts to credits. It rolls credits. Doesn't even have any sound. And like, it's, it's a condensed form of credits. And then it's like something like, do you want to try that again?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Wow.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Damn.
Leon Lionheartly: and
BOrritoSupreme: No boss fight, nothing.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's
neocharge: No boss, yeah, nothing. It's just like...
BOrritoSupreme: I thought they'd cut away from Leon, get his head blown off, but no, they just show it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): almost twisting the knife.
neocharge: they show it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Fuck.
BOrritoSupreme: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That does twist the knife a little bit more.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Uh-huh.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): the the Do you want to try again? Because it almost is like insulting your intelligence. Like, hey, dipshit, you fucked up.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Let's start over.
neocharge: I... Usually I choose logic over emotion, and I let emotion drive this one because of Leon, because of my attachment to the character.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, I have some really bad news for you.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: I don't know why all of you guys hate Leon, but whatever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): My friend who works for Capcom, my friend of a friend, I should say, told me that that ending is canon.
neocharge: Okay.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The DLC is just Grace crying in an elevator.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Goatlord-Sriobix: With a missing foot. It's
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: not on No, no.
neocharge: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. She was in a fever dream the whole time.
BOrritoSupreme: No, the DLC will be... You'll play as whoever Leon's wife is, Claire or Ada.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): She lost her foot.
BOrritoSupreme: that You play as them going down into the rubble of Ark to recover his body, or at least the ring.
neocharge: It's Ada!
Goatlord-Sriobix: Claire.
neocharge: Oh my god.
BOrritoSupreme: after
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Then they get down there and he is ah he's a new chunk.
Leon Lionheartly: No.
neocharge: what
BOrritoSupreme: Bringo.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Chunk Leon.
Leon Lionheartly: No.
BOrritoSupreme: Time to bring the soldier home.
neocharge: yeah You have to fight him as a zombie. You're not recovering the body. You just fight Leon as a zombie.
BOrritoSupreme: I so want a helmet.
neocharge: It's a boss fight.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: a
Goatlord-Sriobix: They'd be like an apex predator zombie though.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, God.
neocharge: Where'd everybody go?
Goatlord-Sriobix: Let's be real here.
neocharge: Bingo!
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then they'd walk in he would say, you're late for dinner
BOrritoSupreme: God.
neocharge: God damn it. Dude, during the sniper section at the church, there was a bell.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: There was a bell tower.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: I thought if I hit that bell with the sniper, maybe a trophy, where'd everybody go? Bingo. Would have been perfect.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep. Yep.
neocharge: Anyway, you guys chose the fucking good ending. i'm I'm done moping about the ending I chose. Whatever.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): mean, at least you got to Steve.
neocharge: I just cared.
Leon Lionheartly: I...
BOrritoSupreme: I just laughed, though.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Which ending is better?
neocharge: when When I saw the right ending, I cried. I was like, oh my God, this is the canon ending. This is a fucking boss fight. And I'm like, oh god thank God. That was literally a red herring. And she's like, oh yeah, you fucked up. You want to do that again,
neocharge: Mm-hmm. Yep.
Goatlord-Sriobix: you Yeah, when speaking of that boss fight, as soon as we as soon as I dropped Victor the first time and he turned into octopus thing, i was like, of course he's a fucking nemesis.
neocharge: no
Goatlord-Sriobix: like
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm. Well.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, Jesus.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Like, no wonder he didn't die.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I stupidly, i didn't know, obviously, first time. um I saved my Requiem ammo because I was like, I know how this goes. going like three phases or whatever.
BOrritoSupreme: Me too.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And then Requiem is not useless against that fight, but it is not necessary in the final stage.
neocharge: Yeah. yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's like, it's a fucking waste.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I threw a couple grenades and then got like an assault rifle.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I was like, I have 30 Requiem rounds and I could have used them at any time earlier in the game, you idiot.
neocharge: And I love that they did that.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, oops.
neocharge: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yep.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah it was good it was still It was still a cool fight.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It was very cool.
Leon Lionheartly: um And in that in that first stage against Victor is where I first started seeing um afterwards. I started seeing videos of the game of the game and clips. And and and that was with the moment where I was like, wait, can you really fucking parry that that? That's got to be AI generated. So when I replayed the game, I purposely waited until he fired the rocket just to confirm that you can parry the RPG. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah
neocharge: Oh, yeah. Insane. But did did you stun Victor to get the RPG? Because I did that the first time, and then I just one-shot him.
BOrritoSupreme: He never pulled it out. you know
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, I never knew that was a thing.
Goatlord-Sriobix: If you do it fast enough, he never drops it.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I had like 30 rounds of Requiem. I just blasted and then I just started blasting.
neocharge: I just started blasting!
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was up in his business with the shotgun, like the whole, the whole fight.
Leon Lionheartly: Thank
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I never even knew that that was a thing, unfortunately.
neocharge: Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah. But yeah, I stunned him, and the rocket launcher dropped, and I could pick it up. One round, one shot. So, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it was pretty mid-final boss, especially in Resident Evil standards.
Goatlord-Sriobix: All things considered, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah,
neocharge: Three is pretty... Three remake is pretty awesome. with Fucking...
Goatlord-Sriobix: and Where's my giant laser cannon, man?
neocharge: Yeah, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: No, that's i mean.
neocharge: All right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: like
BOrritoSupreme: like There's no quad rocket launch. like Give me something to make it feel epic.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: um I was like, hung Hunk was my final boss. That was the cool epic moment.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah I do feel like that boss fight was way more, ah i was more invested in that one.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It was way harder. yeah Yeah, it was way harder, too.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. The big nemesis form. I thought it was a cool some cool mechanics. You had to pop all his pimples or whatever. And then at the end, turned into Shadow Colossus.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: He fucking runs up it and he's just like, you're not getting up this time.
BOrritoSupreme: I know.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: picked
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah, no shit.
BOrritoSupreme: guys Yeah, was, eh.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It didn't help that Zeno, Zemo, Zeno, and
neocharge: So.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah, he just fucked off.
Goatlord-Sriobix: He's straight up fucked up.
BOrritoSupreme: Gideon just sucked. I mean, they they they were shit villains.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Victor decapitated Zeno. He's like, you're just a shadow or a clone. Oh, all right.
BOrritoSupreme: Right, where's, yeah, where's Wesker showing up saying, like, I'm the upgrade? Like, come on.
neocharge: Yeah, I'm the upgrade.
BOrritoSupreme: It was just lame.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was hoping that the little ah fucking Napoleon kid from four would just show up again and be like, I'm the real villain.
neocharge: um
BOrritoSupreme: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That would have been awesome.
neocharge: so
Leon Lionheartly: Mr.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: what's
Leon Lionheartly: Kennedy.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yes.
neocharge: Mr. Kennedy. salvva Salvador?
BOrritoSupreme: we
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Salvatore.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Salvatore. Yeah.
neocharge: Salvatore.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Good old Sal.
BOrritoSupreme: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sal. ah
neocharge: Good old...
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, I TikTok, I should be doing
neocharge: you You fucking kill him with a gold egg?
Leon Lionheartly: Cold egg. Yep.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I do. I actually wondered if they were going to have some weird like Easter egg like that.
neocharge: me I'm not your bro. Bro.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): where Because there were no...
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Usually in the final boss fights of the Resident Evil games, if you run out of ammo or like enough time passes, somebody will chuck you like the Jesus weapon. like The rocket launcher in the first game was just how that worked.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I was really thinking about running around and seeing if anybody would just throw an egg down there.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and be like Because this was a game about us. about you know Every old Resident Evil would be like, throw this at him.
BOrritoSupreme: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): just like grace oh I found this in a golden chicken here you go boop that would have been that would have been sweet because for all intents purposes the game was over at that point you know it was just kind of going through the final motion
neocharge: Hell yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: There
neocharge: Yeah, man. We get the ending cutscene. um
Leon Lionheartly: it is.
neocharge: And Chris, Chris's team.
BOrritoSupreme: And Sherry's keyboard is backwards.
neocharge: What?
BOrritoSupreme: Sherry's keyboard is backwards. Did you see that?
neocharge: No, is it?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): oh i did
BOrritoSupreme: In the final cutscene with her, the whole game, anytime it shows her, her keyboard is facing the right way towards her.
neocharge: Oh.
neocharge: Mm-hmm.
BOrritoSupreme: But in that last cutscene, it's upside down.
neocharge: Like.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): What?
BOrritoSupreme: Google it.
Leon Lionheartly: have to go look at that later.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Uh-huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh, you know why it is.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Huh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's confirmed that that's the bad ending. It's the other ending.
neocharge: oh Oh, God.
BOrritoSupreme: and
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): For now. For now.
neocharge: Stop it.
Leon Lionheartly: It's a bad ending because it's the ending where Ada didn't show up the entire fucking game.
neocharge: Yeah, i think I think she will, and I think we will get DLC with her during Requiem.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): fer no for now
neocharge: like we did for like her section during, and we might see like where they, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So it was, ah it was a, it was a little bit of a bummer that the only callbacks to resident evil characters, we honestly, the two we got were Leon and Sherry.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: So I was, I was hoping for maybe one more, but yeah we'll get it the DLC.
Leon Lionheartly: Those were the only...
neocharge: Hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah I don't know. Just once again, video gaming and Resident Evil games are not necessarily always the narrative. They're not. You don't play them for the narrative. So you don't look too close.
neocharge: Yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Otherwise, the the mirror is going to shatter. But yeah you don't set up the Leon being there because of a bunch of people who are dying from T-virus infections.
neocharge: Yeah
Leon Lionheartly: And you do not have reference to Claire or Ada or anybody else that was going to be there in Raccoon City.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: um Outbreak.
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: all of any and all of the Outbreak characters that are still there, um Revelations, things like that, those characters should still be relevant in this universe. So if you don't address it, you kind of left an elephant in the room.
neocharge: They will. I think Jill might be our main protagonist in 10.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh my God. You know, i yes.
BOrritoSupreme: I need all the chill, all the chill.
Leon Lionheartly: I need more Claire in my life.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I think Resident Evil 10, because it's, there's an X in it. It's just gonna be called Resident Evil sex.
neocharge: Yeah. They're going to play on the wording and an X will be in there and then it'll be like, oh, like they did village and seven.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And I'm not mad about it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's why it's Resident Evil sex.
Leon Lionheartly: no
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's the only word that would work.
neocharge: Hell yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Don't argue with me.
Leon Lionheartly: Resident Evil sex with Leon...............................
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Whatever.
neocharge: Yes.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Done.
neocharge: But yeah, Alpha Wolf Squad or whatever.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: Chris's team.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, the X can be a pair of scissors because it's going to feature Claire and Jill, and that's what they're going to do.
neocharge: Yeah!
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Okay.
neocharge: I'm in. Take my damn money.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I have it on good authority that that is true. Okay.
neocharge: Yes. If it's not, you might need to place a bug in his ear to then place a bug in his ear.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Hey, dog.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): ah If you guys are struggling for ideas, I got you.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: it just He just he looks both ways.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: He looks both ways and he's like... Trumanism.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah, that's,
neocharge: a
BOrritoSupreme: Brokeback Mountain featuring Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Also, ah can I star in this game?
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I don't care where, but I need both of these women in my life.
BOrritoSupreme: ah look
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's
Leon Lionheartly: ah
neocharge: Uh-huh.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Leon Lionheartly: yeah ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): not weird.
neocharge: I don't know.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah that's
neocharge: i'm kind I'm kind of in between both.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: ah I see what you did there.
neocharge: Yeah. Ending. Ah, great. I like the, I like that. And didn't wrap up a lot, but it, it explained some stuff. And then Leon has a ring. Apparently he's a married man.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
neocharge: Jealous of her already.
neocharge: Whoever it is. I think it's Ada. Who are we going with?
BOrritoSupreme: Sherry.
neocharge: Let's Sherry. All right.
BOrritoSupreme: ab Leon's been grooming.
Goatlord-Sriobix: There's no way.
neocharge: No, Sherry's too young.
Goatlord-Sriobix: yeah
neocharge: Who's,
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah. Sherry's like 20 years younger than him.
neocharge: more Yeah, she was a little girl when he first met.
Goatlord-Sriobix: That's kind of. Yeah.
neocharge: Oh, yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: He's got a little Leonardo DiCaprio thing going.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: It's all right.
Goatlord-Sriobix: i do
neocharge: That's true.
BOrritoSupreme: No, it's it's got to be Ada. It has to be.
Leon Lionheartly: No, it's not.
neocharge: Yeah, it's Ada. ada
Leon Lionheartly: no I'm...
neocharge: Ada. It's okay. one or two One of two. And I i do think it's Ada. Could be Claire. It could be Claire if it's one of the two.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but why
neocharge: But it's it's Ada. It's Ada.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Other than the fact that Claire was the other protagonist in 2...
Leon Lionheartly: No.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): what was their emotional connection? Like, I just don't, I don't see that from four to code Veronica to six.
Leon Lionheartly: There wasn't.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like I don't see Claire anywhere.
neocharge: That's why think it's Ada. They had chemistry in four and two.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I feel like Ashley is actually not that weird of a, of a possibility.
Leon Lionheartly: They... they
Leon Lionheartly: ah this is what i'm getting This is what I'm getting at because Ada sounds good until you realize Ada has essentially been working for the connections the entire fucking time, which is the antithesis to what Leon stands for.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I,
neocharge: And
BOrritoSupreme: Right. i
Goatlord-Sriobix: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: He would not be married to her.
neocharge: and that might be... some inside information for him.
Leon Lionheartly: Right.
neocharge: And that's why he's there.
Leon Lionheartly: no, because that's where I doubt that. I'm telling you guys, it's a wild guess, but I think it's Hunnigan because remember, Hunnigan, he has a line with her from four where he goes, hey, you're pretty cute without your glasses.
Leon Lionheartly: And she says, oh, do do I need to remind you that you're still on duty? And he he says, well, can I get your number afterwards?
neocharge: The original four, they cut that out in the remake.
Leon Lionheartly: And she goes silent in the original four and she goes silent.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: She doesn't respond.
BOrritoSupreme: Huntington is just a money penny of RE4, that's all.
Leon Lionheartly: He looks
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Aww.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I feel like it would actually be more interesting if it wasn't anybody known. If it was just like, oh, I met this girl.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: It's Martha.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's Martha.
neocharge: martha
BOrritoSupreme: it fine it's the it's the It's the one he it's the one the Helena Brunette bitch from
neocharge: Why did you say that name?
neocharge: Oh, oh yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: oh Aww. ah
neocharge: Hmm. Talena.
Leon Lionheartly: ah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): move Yeah, I don't know.
neocharge: Talena.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm just going to let the story tell me what it wants to and find out that way.
BOrritoSupreme: I think it's Sherry.
Goatlord-Sriobix: um so I'm still standing by Claire. There's too much pointing at it.
BOrritoSupreme: I'm sure Barry taught Sherry how to hold a hoarder big old hand cannon, and Leon is like, I've got a big old hand cannon for you.
neocharge: ada
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's the
neocharge: Who do you think it is, Bob?
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: No, I'm placing my bets. It's on Hunnigan.
neocharge: Okay. Done again. Ada. Ada. Yep. But interesting. He's married. Crazy. Then he gets saved, and he he mentions Chris, so...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's married to his Porsche.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: He's married to Chris.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: I mean, it was nice for it was nice for Chris to show up in this game, but it was better than, ah and it was certainly better than the way he showed up in eight.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): He's into the wolves.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That's i's all I'm going to say.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: And it's funny. I'm not going to name drop him, but someone was just like trolling me. was like, I'm going to spoil the ending for you. ah Fucking Chris Redfield comes to save Leon at the end. it was right. Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: oh he was just playing being an asshole trying to troll you?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yep.
neocharge: Yeah, he just pulled it out of his ass, apparently. Because I asked him, was like, did you, did like, fucking, in Civil War, Iron Man, and Captain America, did did you know?
BOrritoSupreme: but
neocharge: And he's like, no. I pulled that out of my ass.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that was just pure dumb luck.
neocharge: okay
BOrritoSupreme: Maybe it's Luis from RE4.
neocharge: Oh.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's Carlos, man.
neocharge: Yeah. Yeah. yeah Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's Carlos. Or Tofu.
BOrritoSupreme: It'd be Carlos too. Hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Maybe Tofu was just checking up on him in RPD and that's why it was just like...
neocharge: and yeah in
Goatlord-Sriobix: Okay.
Leon Lionheartly: it's all We all know it's Hunk.
neocharge: no
BOrritoSupreme: Hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: He didn't actually kill Hunk.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Leon's like it was like, I'd fuck that tofu.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. oh
neocharge: All right. Overall thoughts of the game. I think we gave these in the beginning, but a masterpiece to say like nine out of 10, high nine out of 10.
BOrritoSupreme: We did.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah, it's it's a solid nine for me.
neocharge: If we're easily, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): 94 for me, 94 out of 100. I do 100 point scale.
neocharge: 94. Gotcha. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's a solid A. My problems with it you know keep it from being higher than that, but I just thought it was executed very well.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Thank you.
neocharge: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): The only bug I had the whole time was that visual bug that we all had with Leon's strap, which was hilarious, but it didn't affect the game.
neocharge: this is like...
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It didn't break anything. It you know it just made me giggle, ah but it it was...
BOrritoSupreme: It was awesome.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: I did have a weird one. i jumped off of like a wall. um i was like, I don't want to go down the stairs. going to jump over this. And like Leon got stuck in like a falling animation.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): yeah
neocharge: Oh, wow.
BOrritoSupreme: like on top of the stairs and i was like okay like is the game gonna reset him and he like started like clip like down and then he hit the ground and finally stood up and I was like thank god I didn't want to restart that but
neocharge: but
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: Yeah, that's awesome.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I,
neocharge: I was i actually like this game grew on me the more I played it because I was a little a little cold on it at first, like the opener. And I was like, okay, like Resident Evil, but it really grew on me and it shined. It really shined with, uh, Leon returned RPD.
neocharge: So I, um, yeah, I love this game.
BOrritoSupreme: Yeah.
neocharge: It was fucking awesome. I, uh, yeah, i can't wait for the DLC. I think I was only, I am the only one here that 100%
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I thought, oh, Alex didn't plan on me yet. Nevermind. going to say, I thought he did the final puzzle.
BOrritoSupreme: No.
Goatlord-Sriobix: When I finish my plot, it'll be 100%.
neocharge: Nice. First Resident Evil game I've ever done that with, by the way.
Leon Lionheartly: oh okay they were simple in R3 yeah
neocharge: All challenges. All unlockables.
BOrritoSupreme: You didn't do all the challenges in RE3?
neocharge: Huh?
BOrritoSupreme: They were super easy.
neocharge: Maybe. i don't know. Maybe. I'll have to look. But I don't recall doing all the challenges.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Until... Until the DLC, I 100%ed 2, 3, and 4 remake. So, like, this final puzzle thing, like I said earlier, I was just like, at fuck, why?
neocharge: Nice.
Leon Lionheartly: okay
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like, that's stupid.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I mean, not not discounting that you did it.
neocharge: they should They should put a trophy with it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): It's great.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): But... Well, it's so damn obscure. And again, with like the potential data mining shit, like, I don't know, but I might, when the DLC comes out, I'll probably do the final puzzle just to, just to have it completely cleaned up.
neocharge: I know.
neocharge: It's true.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah. Yeah.
neocharge: You should. You have to play through twice again. Two times.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh well.
neocharge: Well, one and a half.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, that's fine.
BOrritoSupreme: Oh, I know I can get a speed run under two hours. So i've been tempted to go back.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah. Well, especially now with infinite ammo,
neocharge: Yeah. It's fresh in your mind, man. Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): With infinite an ammo on casual, I feel like I would just murder it like real fast.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
Leon Lionheartly: it' It's real simple there because you don't need the RPG technically except for a few spots because of the reload ah speed. So on easy, you just blast through shit with the high velocity pistols.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah.
neocharge: It always amazes me how quick you go through in your speed run because like 16 hours, my first playthrough, and then I like speed ran it and like under three or under four or something like that Crazy.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, cause I was.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Well, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): For a second playthrough doing a no heal, no blood speed run, I got 228 with the good ending, which is another like 10 minutes or 12 minutes for the boss fights.
neocharge: Yeah.
BOrritoSupreme: Wild.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So, and that was not with infinite ammo. So if I had infinite ammo and I didn't, yeah, like there's no way that it would take me that long.
BOrritoSupreme: Right, easily under two.
Goatlord-Sriobix: It does.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): So I could probably do that except for the 15 minute required thing for the final puzzle. That would take a little bit of time.
neocharge: Yeah. And you to backtrack a little to flush the toilets and scan the hand. It adds, it pads about another 20 to 25 minutes on your run.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
Goatlord-Sriobix: it does
neocharge: So, yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: That makes sense.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Sure.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: But yeah. That's Resident Evil Requiem. Any other final thoughts, gentlemen?
neocharge: Woohoo!
Leon Lionheartly: All right.
BOrritoSupreme: Go it.
Leon Lionheartly: Silences. Yeah, go play it.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: um
neocharge: Yeah, no, go play it. Incredible game. Capcom is is on a renaissance. They have been for a while. ah This makes me even more excited for Pragmata. even I'm already very excited for Pragmata.
neocharge: And ah yeah, Capcom is killing it. And did you...
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): And Onimusha. And then the eventual Okami 2.
neocharge: Yeah, Onimusha?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Like, I am looking forward to all of these.
neocharge: Yeah. Maybe a surprise Breath of Fire game.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Who knows?
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Oh my God.
neocharge: But did you hear what Capcom said in a statement? They're like, we're not using generative AI.
BOrritoSupreme: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I did not.
Leon Lionheartly: Mm-hmm.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): That's good to know.
neocharge: Yeah. So they made a statement. They're like, no, we're not going to use that. We're going to stay true and we're going to develop everything, you know, human human touch. So i I honestly think a lot of developers should make that statement if they feel that way.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I agree.
neocharge: Because, yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I agree.
neocharge: Um, so yeah, Capcom man, killing it. RE9, one of the greats.
Leon Lionheartly: Yeah.
neocharge: Um, could, it's definitely, it's probably going to be nominated for game of the year. I don't know what my game the year is yet.
BOrritoSupreme: I'll be shocked if it's not.
neocharge: Yeah. So, um, I don't, I don't even want to say my game of the year so far because it's, it's going to change probably, but and I mean, it's RE9.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): and Yeah, it's honestly not even close for the other games that have released this year.
neocharge: Right.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): For me, it's Resident Evil 9.
neocharge: Yeah.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): I'm sure that something will probably overtake it just because there will be something with like an awesome narrative and whatever.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: yeah
neocharge: I mean, we got so much.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Yeah, but but it deserves to be in the conversation just because it's awesome.
BOrritoSupreme: yeah
neocharge: Right.
neocharge: Agreed.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): This is awesome.
Goatlord-Sriobix: Mm-hmm.
neocharge: Yes.
Leon Lionheartly: Yep. yep
neocharge: Yeah. So keep up the good work, Capcom. And ah can't wait for even the remakes. Code Veronica. Resident Evil Zero is rumored.
neocharge: But so yeah, super excited for what you do next. Loved every minute of it.
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): Can't wait for Resident Evil sex.
neocharge: Yeah.
Leon Lionheartly: And
Caleb (AdmiralMerps): but
Leon Lionheartly: on that note, folks, what say the hell we get that a lot of here? It's almost five hours in um If you're still listening to us afterwards, um I give you ah a crisp high five.
