Currently on my first playthrough of shadows of rose dlc for re8 village and I love it so far. Finished the castle part, with a very interesting twist and evil version of the duke (with a mask). But now im in house beneviento (again) and I was praying that I wouldnt have to deal with an ugly, terrifying baby chasing me, which was the most terrifying part for me in re8 village main game.

But man is this pretty creepy as well. I am currently in the part where Rose looks for all the dolls to solve all the mini puzzles, Jimmy's room key, Catherine and Lucy and other dolls, breaker box key, etc. Literally getting jumpscared lol by these mannequins, and then I get to the part where the mannequins move, and thats where I am, and my blood pressure rises every time lol! And there's 4 OF THEM????? OH MAN.....

Maybe its too early to say, but currently playing shadows of rose dlc for the first time, village just keeps getting better for me. I love exploring Rose's story and at some point I feel super bad for her with how much she has been bullied at school. Its very interesting how they implemented that into the level with the dolls, where they were her bullies.

And of course my goat Ethan coming back to help his daughter again, man is just so determined, one of my favorite characters in re series. Its safe to say I am very satisfied with the DLC so far and I am loving village even more!

Ever since I saw the release trailer of the code veronica remake on summer games fest I was really excited. With Claire Redfield being my favorite gaming character, I was so happy Capcom brought her out the basement.

I didn't get to play the original code veronica, because I got into resident evil maybe a little recently than others, ive only played RE2 and RE8 village. I didn't really have a good chance to play the original code veronica. RE2 is where I fell in love with Claire's character. Especially where it shows how badass, loyal, and how great of a parental figure she was. She's such a great character in my eyes.

That being said the new design of Claire looks absolutely gorgeous, and the game looks absolutely sick. I love the wing on her jacket, looks really cool. 2027 cannot come fast enough. I even already saved enough money to pre order it (when they open for pre orders) and I am just way too hype for the game.

Just finished this game, and I am speechless. This is one of my favorite resident evil games I have played. From the start with being chased around by Lady Dimitrescu (don't know if I spelled that right), in the castle fighting her daughters, to that creepy doll (I forgot her name), to Moreau, and my favorite Heisenberg, and all the puzzles it was just a fun experience all around. Especially that baby in the basement part that terrified me and gave me nightmares as I was screaming and scrambling to get to the elevator lol! And Heisenberg's factory, which is SO BIG and VAST, his story of how he was kidnapped when he was very young, forced to serve Miranda under Cadou parasite, and his thirst for revenge. How he turned villagers into metal killing machines. I enjoyed all the cutscenes with him, especially the one where he offered to lend a hand to Ethan, and I wish we did team up with Heisenberg, would have been so cool. The Duke was an interesting character too, as I did upgrade a lot of my weapons and ammo from him, although he is really expensive. Also, I loved the segment with Chris in the game, although it felt more "Call of Duty" ish, but it was super fun. And MY GOD it took me so long to defeat Mother Miranda, took me days to defeat her, but after playing that part over and over and over again I got used to her moves, and was able to dodge more and take less damage. I connected with Ethan so much this game, and although some people might say he is a bland, and boring character, I never thought I would care about him the way I did. He is a guy that went through absolute hell and I mean absolute hell to save his daughter. He's such a goat. An AWESOME father. That's why his death hit me so hard, I cried in tears. It was one of the saddest deaths I've seen in gaming, and it broke me. It left such a big impact on me. Especially at the ending where Rose visits Ethan's grave where she says "I love you" and the credits that end in "The Father's Story is Done". I mean it just made me really sad, and I wished he got to live and see Rose grow up, but he had his heart ripped out by Miranda, but still damn.

I loved this game a lot, and had so much fun with it, and I think it had a great story, even though it had some flaws. I haven't played Shadows of Rose DLC yet, but that is next and I am looking forward to it in exploring Rose's story more. After that, well it is off to Requiem which I also cannot wait for as well. Overall, this was a 10/10 game for me and one of my favorite games in the franchise.

What made The Last of Us so special? Why did I get into the Last of Us? For me it was the character dynamic between Joel and Ellie, the father-daughter dynamic between those two. The lengths they would go to protect each other, how much they cared for each other, and ultimately how much they loved each other. They were family. I would love to hear their jokes and the journey they went on together. It was heartwarming. It was healing. You could have a bad day and return to Joel and Ellie's story and you would feel better. You would connect with them. For me, the father-daughter duo is one of the best character dynamics to tell in gaming. That's why I was pretty excited to also play Capcom's Pragmata, the way they showed the bonding between Hugh and Diana, into a father-daughter duo just like Joel and Ellie. It was beautiful. One of my favorite moments is Joel hugging Ellie and saying "baby girl" after coming back for her in the resteraunt after she killed David.

You'd think Pt II would continue to build on this bond, and show even more the care and love, and the father-daughter that I loved a lot. You know, Ellie living with Joel under the same roof, living the life with him, grateful she has a father in her life, the only family stayed with her, they eat meals together, go on patrol together, going on another journey, bonding like before. Because Joel and Ellie is the Last of Us. But no. These are two different people. Ellie getting mad for 2 years? For Joel saving her life? Bullshit. The Ellie I know is too emotionally attached to do that. Yeah she'd be mad but it would be few days to few weeks to maybe at most a month TOPS. Naw, Ellie would understand and forgive in a month max because she understood Joel sees her as his daughter, having lost Sarah and after all, she was the one who begged him to stay because she was too scared to be with anyone else. And then she would go on to be a complete asshole to Joel saying stuff like "I don't need your help". Talk about character assassination. Then you have Joel act stupid and die in the first 2 hours with 5 minutes of meaningless gameplay. This was one of my favorite characters in gaming, gone. Just like that. Like are we being deadass right now? Then I gotta play as the buff piece of shit character named Abby, like I don't care about you, I despise you. Nothing will make me like you no matter what you will do. Then the game is so predictable, revenge is bad. Some pointless Abby shit, weird love triangles, farmhouse peace scene, but ellie sets out to go out for revenge again only to lose her fingers and not play the guitar in her last memory of Joel.

I mean what the hell. This is the most depressing, sadistic piece of shit I have ever played. It's a game you want to play if you want to make yourself feel even more like shit. I came to see the love between Joel and Ellie, their bond, but instead they were massacred, destroyed, broken, completely different people. TLOU2 goes straight to the WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED, PERIOD. I'm still a bit broken to this day, but I am healing thanks to getting Capcom's Pragmata. So, I hated pt II because I got into the Last of Us because of Joel and Ellie. Their jokes together. Them being father and daughter. The loyalty they showed each other. How much they loved each other. And to see them massacred and disrespected at every turn, especially Joel . Screw you Neil.

So for those who haven't played Resident Evil 8 or Resident Evil Village, Karl Heisenberg is one of the four lords as part as Miranda's "family". He is a brilliant engineer with telekenitic powers (magnetic powers where he can just guide metal anywhere he so pleases) and runs a terrifying weapons facility known as "Heisenberg's Factory". Now he has very strong psychological trauma. He was kidnapped by Mother Miranda as a kid, implanted with the Cadou parasite, where other subjects died, but the parasite was successful on him and he was forced to become a servant and twisted into a living bio-weapon, as he regrets his powers. Consumed by being forced to serve Miranda and his mutation and also consumed by revenge, he secretly plotted a rebellion. He started becoming obsessed with this, so he abducted villagers and transformed them into a mechanical army with experiments at his factory. He despised being treated as a failed experiment and only as a means to reserruct Miranda's dead daughter, Eva which basically took away his humanity and his freedom. This is where he saw the oppurtunity to team up with Ethan Winters to take down Miranda and get his freedom, but his proposal was that he would help save Ethan's daughter Rose in exchange of using her powers. Ethan rejected this, because he refused to use his daughter as a weapon, which angered Heisenberg forcing him to mutate into a terrifying machine as one of the major antagonists in the story.

So, Heisenberg's motivations are clear, why he wants revenge, I mean the guy was stripped away from his family and forced into a servant, stripped of his humanity. Everything in his character feels earned, not forced. He is charasmitic and full of energy, and the guy is just entertaining. Compare that with Abby, who we were forced to play 12 hours, the writing of her character was contrived, just a really bland character. And she killed a very beloved character that we have built a bond with, and she gets immense amounts of plot armor, and her whole revenge arc doesn't make sense. This is how you make antagonists. Heisenberg had villanous aspects, but was entertaining and more likeable than Abby. We weren't forced to like him. He didn't get insane plot armor. I enjoyed his character a lot. I even felt that I wanted to team up with this guy, and I felt bad for him at times.

I will not be silenced. I will not be speechless. I will continue to shit on this game for 30+ years because it deserves it. So you can say whatever you want, to get over it and move on, but I will not remain silent. Why? Because of how shit Part II was. Because of how it nearly broke me. That's how much I cared for Joel and Ellie. They healed me. I Loved them. Sympathized and connected with them every step along the way.

One thing we ought to know is that there is evil in this world. Great evil. That evil is Neil Druckmann. He's the one that tried to rip away Joel and Ellie, he is the one that tried to destroy the love between those two. The father daughter bond dynamic between those two. And some may see that he succeeded. I am here to tell you, though, that he is not. Because that is not Joel and Ellie. The Joel and Ellie I know is protected within my heart and soul. In Jackson. Living a happy, peaceful life, living under the same roof together, talking, laughing, cracking those really bad jokes, and going on patrol together as father and daughter. Because they deserve it.​

I'm also here to tell you one other thing. The Last of Us IS Joel and Ellie. There is no The Last of Us without Joel and Ellie. That father daughter relationship between the two, these broken people connecting together, and always having each other's back no matter what happens is what made it special. And fuck you neil, because instead of building upon this very beautiful bond, you rip it to shreds. But no matter how much you try Neil, you will not break me because deep down in my heart, I know that is not the true Ellie. Not the true Ellie that accepted Joel's lie. That needed him every step of the way. That finally had a father. Because she would never avoid him for 2 years. Never tell him she didn't need him. Never make him feel lonely. Never avoid him at Thanksgiving dinners. Never say she was supposed to die at that hospital. She would appreciate what Joel did and if I was in Joel's spot, mark my words Joel, I would do the same thing, no hesitation. And I don't even have any kids. As a 19 year old​, I understand fully. I would put a bullet in the surgeon's head in no time, and carry ellie out in that hospital.

Any smart/good writer will understand that the sequel should have built upon this father daughter bond. That's what the fans wanted. That's what I wanted. Not to see the characters butchered and broken and destroyed that left us depressed and angry at Naughty Dog. Capcom understands what the fans wanted. That is why they made pragmata. That is why they made a beautiful father daughter bonding for hugh and diana.

So I say again. I will not be silenced or shut out. This game deserves all the hate and I will continue criticizing and shitting on the game until the day I die. I trusted Naughty Dog and they did worse than just breaking my trust. I despise them. I hate them

And then capcom (with pragmata) came along and said, I got you bro, I will bring you out of the water and they did. And now the company I put my trust is in Capcom, especially with the new code veronica remake they are making, given claire redfield is my 2nd favorite gaming character oat, Joel being 1st. ​
