While the rest of the world was hiding as Grace or blasting away as Leon, I was trying to do a bit of both with Claire Redfield. I've been hopping from game to game out of order and I'm finally getting around to playing the remake that started it all. Compared to the others, this was a fun but drastic change of pace. The odds were stacked against players from the start. Every enemy was resilient, making item management and ammo conservation essential. I really enjoyed playing as Claire because I feel like she doesn't get as much time in the spotlight compared to Leon. (I'll still play through the game with him at some point). Her mini-grenade launcher was an excellent weapon. I think my biggest gripe with the game was the necessary back and forth managing limited item space. That, and the tight quarters when fighting bosses or attempting to deal with Ivies. Otherwise, this was a great game. I can see why many still consider it the best of the moderns.

I decided to jump back into RE2R after beating RE9. I haven't beat it since early 2020 and never as Claire. It's still a phenomenal game.

I'm actually still completing orders while trying to earn all of the game's achievements (I've gone too far with optimizing zip-line routes), so it's not like I've had that opportunity yet even. I know you're a big fan of the games, so it's good to get your thoughts on what's to come. I'm very particular with story-dense experiences across all mediums being given a sequel, so hopefully I feel that a sequel in this instance feels earned like you do!

I'm still cementing my views on DS2, that's my plan with the PC release, though I think it's on par with the first, with only some story beats not hitting as well as it did in the first game, with some new fun stuff added that kinda makes it feel like the definitive experience for this world, but at the same time, maybe not as impactful as the original. It's a viewpoint as complex as the series itself lol In the end, I just find it enjoyable to be an Apocalyptic Fed Ex man lol

Nice! I had a lot of fun with it. Quick pro tip: remember to develop any roles of film you come across because it'll uncover some hidden goods in the station. I'm not sure if this was the same in Leon's case.
(I'm not sure why Claire just couldn't open the drawers that contained them since everything else could be opened but. Whatever.)

I literally did the same thing, I'm kinda casually playing that while trying to do some challenges in RE9 I still have, because I played through Grace's section and it gave very big RE2 vibes, so I think I'm gonna do a chill run with infinite ammo through it lol
Cartagia:
Went back to the original Fable with the Anniversary edition. It's still got a ton of charm, and some of the concepts about alignment and renown are interesting, but the story is incredibly basic and the combat is really rudimentary and repetitive. I'm glad i revisited it, but I don't know that I ever will again.
