RE4 2005.

Transcribed on

 I finally played RE4 (2005)

I decided that before I would even touch the REmake, I would have to play the original... Now several months after RE4 Remake's release, I have finally played and completed the original version of the game. (Well the 2014 PC release but you get what I mean.)

Its a strange little game. I know there are people who absolutely adore the gameplay, and I kind of get it... It's satisfying in a lot of ways, learning how to control Leon like a master, its almost a form of art and it is definitely a fun challenge. Still though, I am DEFINITELY excited to play the remake with its more modern controls and whatnot.

The story is so deliciously camp. You're motherfucking Leon Scott Kennedy hired by the POTUS to rescue his daughter from a cult in Spain, you come across an old super spy friend, a wisecracking local, and traverse through a misty village, a wack-ass castle, and a damn supervillain's island, all while Leon cracks one-liners and says dumb shit.

The game is scary for me, then again, I am very easily scared and I won't lie, I had moments before I found out what quickturn is, where I screamed like a baby when trying to turn around to face an enemy. (Yes, I know what this sounds like.) The scariest part of the game for me has to be the Verdugo boss fight because I am so bad at chase scenes in horror games or in games in general as I tend to panic very much in these kinds of scenes.

The graphics are kind of amazing for the time. (I know that I'm playing a remaster but still.) When I think of mid 2000's games, I certainly think they would look as good as RE4 does. The only game I can think of is Half Life 2, but that's even more impressive, because its a 2004 game. But yeah, I think that the graphics actually sort of in a weird way... Hold up quite well.

My final thoughts are that I enjoyed the game. I found that I had very little personal gripes or complaints... If any at all, which is both surprising and unsurprising. Surprising because: I'm easily pleased by games haha. Unsurprising because: It has the legacy of being one the best games ever for a reason.

That is all, now I will get to playing the REmake. - Z

Forever and Always.

Evermore... Forever and Always. Well, well, well. We are back with another long ass post.  I told you I would make this post... Eventually. And hey! Eventually, it is here.  LET ME PREFACE: THIS IS THE LONGEST POST I HAVE EVER MADE, AND I AM SO PROUD OF IT... That is all! Cinderella Phenomenon: Evermore! Here we go. So this game is a fandisc, which is basically a continuation of a visual novel.  I admit, I am not so well versed in the terms that visual novel fans use but all you need to know is that Evermore is a continuation of the story in Cinderella Phenomenon, taking place 2 years after the original game. It, obviously, contains a continuation of every route. (Rod, Klaude, Chevalier, Fritz, and Waltz) You'll probably benefit from playing the original game, which is free by the way, or you can read my blog post about the original game... Not that it is as good as playing the game yourself though because I didn't really recap the entire story down to the singular routes, inst

  READ ON COMPUTER OR HORIZONTAL ON PHONE   THE MIDNIGHT BALL A long poem by: Zeerdank 1 Blinding, deafening, cacophony of all, whether glass, or class, or metered step Silks so sharp like a blade of gold, of a diamond dream, of joyous times, and idyllic smiles Wrapped around them, on their hands and covering floors while draping walls, to all in all form an exquisite…  … An exquisite, grandiose, platinum platter holding they of a benefit.

Prinns Chærmengt - Poems by Elwynn Ward

Transcribed on
A little bit of a weird poem. It's like a hybrid of Old, Middle, and Modern English. The context behind this is actually in the book I'm writing. Anyway one last thing, two terms, 'Denihal' and 'Arcilla' that are from there. In terms of the English used: '- a hybrid of Old, Middle, and Modern English'  The story itself is in Modern English for sake of readability, but this hybridization is the 'in-lore' English being spoken. Anyway, enjoy!
