    You are aware that studios, specially smaller ones need continuous streams of revenue for them to keep afloat right?
    Those "side hustles" support the developement of the big game, specially when they keep having problems and having to delay it.
    Delaying the game incurrs on more costs to them, and while companies like EA and Bethesda can release a game incomplete without hurting them, a smaller studio like them could mean the end of them if it poisons the good will from their playerbase.

    At some point we have to start calling developers and publishers on the bullshit, fans shouldn't have to eat the price plus a hit to their console storage or data caps just because they don't want to make time to compress their game while getting it in working order.
     
    I know adult babies were bitching about Cyberpunk but I rather they fix their shit before putting it in people's hands then roadmap that shit for months after initial release.

    I disagree, Capcom Vancouver overstepped multiple times when it came to the handle of the franchise and the deals they made with it.
    Yes, it sucks that they werent allowed to explore new avenues be new ips or revivals.
     
    But they clearly showed a lack of hindsight on understanding that they were always proposing projects beyond both the scope of what their infrastructure was capable, and what capcom was willing to invest on.
     
    Plus, is not the 1st or last time that an studio is made or bought to work on an specific project, and just that.
     
    They also failed to communicate with their parent company atributing to themselves stuff they were not in charge of deciding to.

    Co-sign the shredded hash browns. I love them fried crispy with jalapenos and cheese. Unfortunately my doc told me I need to cut back on fried stuff, apparently my liver is a tad fatty and that I need to avoid starchy stuff and fried food. Blah.
     
    RE the election, I think if Biden wins, Trumpers will just pout, but might start low key doing things in red areas like school prayer, etc just to test things. If Trump wins, there'll be riots. I think Biden winning is the better outcome but I can't even imagine how crazy the next Republican candidate will be in 2024 if that happens.

    Hash browns are just pan-fried potatoes.
     
    They can be loose strands of potato:
     

     
    Or made into a patty.  You find this type at McDonalds:

    I remember going back to Injustice 2 like a year after I dropped it and frankly I was repulsed. The characters felt insanely stiff and slow. Not slow like “man this is a methodical game”, slow like “fuck I can’t move everything is so stiff...is something wrong with my controller?”. Also visually the game has not aged well at all. 
     
    But getting to the meat, I was mixed on the actual gameplay, specifically the meter system. You build meter slow as shit in that game. The overwhelming majority of it comes from dying. Like you’re kicking their ass down to 50% and you’ve built one bar while they have 3. It gets to a point where it feels like your character is stuck with the basics while the other guy gets to play his full character. 
     
    The rest of the game was pretty good, but that one thing turned me off. It created this feeling where you are in training mode and you’re finding things you’ll rarely be able to do in a match if it costs more than one bar. Made me feel stifled.

    I was thinking about Injustice 2 earlier. I really wish I could've gotten into that game. The idea of being able to use DC characters in a fighting game has always been a great idea to me. The content is on point. I just couldn't  get into the battle system no matter how hard I tried. Sometimes I wonder how characters like Superman and Batman would be designed by Capcom or ASW.

    I would say that the Ada Wong campaing is the one closest to classic RE games rather than the Leon one. 
     
    Leon is like a RE4 and RE5 game, since it still has a lot of emphasis in action

    I like RE6 but I can understand the hate that it receives.
     
    - Many fans still see RE as a horror franchise even when Capcom was moving away from it at the time. There's hate for wanting to be fixated on what was instead of what is.
     
    - It was a game that tried to appease everyone. That's the game's biggest flaw as it felt like the game had an identity crisis. Appealing to the oldheads (Leon campaign), appealing those who liked the RE action games (Jake) and CoD fanboys (Chris) was destined to failed. Capcom would have been better off sticking to a core set of ideas and building the whole game around it. 
     
    - Too many scripted events. These especially hurt Leon's campaign as it tried invoke some of the old games horror. It also hurt Jake's campaign with the Ustanak sequences as he was marketed to be the game's Nemesis.
     
    Personally, I think RE6 has the best gameplay of the series. The game is worth for it's mercs mode alone.

    It amazes me how many players do this. 
    Is one of the things that i always tell newcomers to not do. 
    To keep their eyes on the opponent and occasionally check on both their own resourcws and their opponents resources, but to try to get the sense of timing on when their resources are ready to use.
