    Congratulations.

    I just got all 100 leech gems in Leech Hunter in RE0.

    I'm about to play REmake as Chris because he has lower item slots than Jill so it makes him having a bit more difficulty.

    I hate the crimson heads and Lisa Trevor.

    Lisa can't be killed but can be stunned for a few seconds, waste of ammo.

    The crimson heads... Once human but died due to infection or a bite from something infected.
    Comes back as a zombie and dies again. Some time later they rise again faster, stronger, more dangerous. Like a unundead. Undead times 2. REreanimated.

    I remember hearing that some zombies in certain areas don't need to be burned because you only visit there once.

    Nice! I did that leech hunter thing a while ago. It's a real pain.
    The crimson heads are a bitch. I would say it's best to burn the ones in tighter hallways. If there is a larger area it's not really necessary.

    ... Wow, I can't remember how to defeat Lisa Trevor. I just replayed REremake a year ago. My memory sucks.

    One of the best things about remake is that it keeps up the pressure on ammo resources and route planning for much longer then the original. Mainly because of Crimson Heads, but also because Dogs are much harder to hit and Hunters are more dangerous.

    I love it when a RE game has hunters. They jump towards you and with a shotgun in your hand BOOM! Right out of the sky. Double tap them just to be sure.

    I was thinking about death scenes from all the RE games. Except for RE outbreak and outbreak 2, I haven't played those.

    Some of my favorite death scenes are these few:

    RE3 other type of Hunter in the park and the hospital. Looks like a frog with no eyes. I got careless with one of those suckers and it ate me. Looked like the scene in Godzilla 2000 with Orga trying to eat big G.

    RE4 when you try to go into the room that giant Mendez went to, picks you up and snaps your neck.

    RE4 Dr. Salvador with his favorite medical tool. Got a neck pain? Let the Doc help you with that. Guaranteed to end the pain.

    RE2 the giant alligator in the sewer. You are a snack to this thingThe idea of being attacked by a huge gator is scary. I don't how people in Florida handle it.

    REC:V fighting Nosferatu. You are fighting on a helipad and that thing has a long limb that can grab you and throw you off the helipad

    Not sure which or could be the first 3 but I remember that if a zombie grabs you and you die, the scene is you getting your neck ripped off and the zombie eating you.

    That was the first time I heard the name Bandersnatch. A couple of years later I learned that the name comes from a creature from Alice in Wonderland. That dude has a creepy face when introduced. I just wanted to kill fast before it gets to attack.

    When Steve saves the day, the barrage of gunfire from those lugers was awesome.

    I like to get a couple of lugers for decorative reasons. My dad and I collect weapons as decorations. Got a old .22 revolver, a 50 year old dagger and a pair of Sais.

    I always used the hunting rifle on him (at least, I think that was the one that went into first person view), so I usually had him nearly dead before he even got to me.

    While looking around at Amazon, I spotted something.

    A Resident Evil Triple Pack coming to the Switch.

    It will have RE4 as a physical copy with RE5 and RE6 being digital download codes. All for $60.

    Release date is October 29th, 2019.

    That's ridiculous. Each game should have its own physical copy. They can easily fit several cards in a single Switch case with how tiny those things are. This is inexcusable and lazy.

    Big fan for 23 years since i was 14 and enjoyed this series except 6 which was lame but 7 and RE 2 remake were fantastic. I can't wait for RE 3 to get remade and RE 8.

    RE5 is a fun couch co-op game. I wish I had someone to play it with... :(

    Any word of a RE triple pack containing re-released versions of the original versions of RE 1-3? I would like to be able to play those classic games on my PS4.

    Physical release or digital? I'd be all over a physical release.

    Preferably digital. I'd just like them to available to play on current generation consoles.

    So far, I've heard nothing.

    I don't get how RE7 is on the Switch in Japan but not everyplace else.

    The original first 3 would be nice. Add REC:V and I'm a happy guy.

    It all depends on Capcom.

    EDIT: I'm one of those old gamers who prefer physical copies over digital.

    But I am warming up to the idea of digital copies if it is only available that way.

    As for the triple pack, i can only recommend it if you haven't purchased RE4 yet on eShop.

    I'm not buying it. I already have it on my Switch and unlocked everything. But still fun to play after 15 years. Ashley's suit of armor is the best!!!

    Yes that RE CV would be good too. Basically the original RE 1-3 + RE CV all with with texture/graphical improvements for current gen consoles.

    I bought a lot of games the other day for $47: Dead Rising 1-4, RE2 Remake, and RE7. I mostly just wanted to play RE2 again. I previously sold it before all the DLC came out. Anyways, I started playing RE7 for the first time. It being first person just adds to the exploration.

    RE 7 is streamed, much like Stadia.

    Icing on the cake is Capcom has released an RE2 remake DLC pack that automatically gives you the power weapons automatically and with unlimited ammo. Normally you have to beat the game under certain time and save constraints to get these weapons. Thankfully you can get them up front now.

    Are you talking about that $5 unlock? I think the only unlockable I'm missing is unlimited ammo or whatever ones that unlocks for getting S rank on the hardest difficulty. Somewhat tempting to buy the ket to unlock everything, but I've unlocked mostly everything already.
