Leading up to the release of Resident Evil 5 I plan to do a full series playthrough, I will play all 7 games in the main series (and maybe UC as well since its canon) in order of their release. As I play them I will just throw up whatever thoughts on the game I have. Some of them I have not played in years so I wonder what my reaction will be, maybe I forgot a certain scare, or noticed something for the first time.

So why dont you guys join me. I am doing this on another site as well so this is a copy/paste job, dont worry I will get more personal with you guys if you respond here.

RESIDENT EVIL:

I will be playing the DS version of RE mainly cause it has no load times. I will be playing the original mode obviously. I will play as Jill cause that is my primary character for RE1, I have always loved her side more than Chris, why, cause of a red bearded badass of a man named Barry Burton (I heart Barry).

So the original, no game in this series even comes close to holding such a special place in my heart. Its not my favorite RE game, but its by far the most important to me. This is the game I know by heart, I know the lines, I know every room, every enemy, every scare, everything. Its the game that changed my whole view on gaming, its the reason I am here at a site like this. If I had entered into this series at a later point I doubt I would ever have the same love for this series, its all cause of this one game that I am the fan that I am.

The night I got this game, way back in 96, is seriously one of my best childhood memories, a sleep over with my brother and a friend, we stayed up playing this mindblowing game, something we had never seen before. I will never ever forget it, none of us will forget it, we still talk about that night to this day. This game was so ahead of its time, so groundbreaking. Every time I play this game all those feelings come rushing back

Ok enough about it, time to play it. I will start tomorrow and probably end it tomorrow, I can beat this game rather quickly. I will be back with all sorts of thoughts after I play.

You play Metroid. That immediately nullifies your claim.

Don't remind me, I sarted that piece of shit out of curiosity. Then I had to finish it, because once set in motion I cannot be stoped. Unlike some people who have to use their little girls to finish their games WinkWink

P.S. I am talking about the original (8-bit) Metroid. Making fun of Super Metroid and beyond is like making fun of Fedor. Yes it can be done, but you make an ass of yourself!

You know what, I may take part in this. I've never beaten an RE game before, and I might as well just beat the original game.

Fuck, you can beat the first game in under an hour? Nice.

Well the DS version allows you to skip all cutscenes and load times, so that helps a lot.

You have never beaten one, wow.

BTW...I played through most of the games last year, but stopped halfway through Code Veronica.

I beat RE Zero and REmake of Cube, then I beat RE2 and RE3 on the Dreamcast.

I gotta finish up Code Veronica and blast through RE4 again.

Holyshit vader.  It'd take me 4 days of gaming to beat the original.  I'd be doing this along with you if I had my consoles hooked up, but you'd be done by the time I was on 3.

This is a guy who blasts through like 25 games a month. Keep that in mind. Dvader is not normal.

I just remembered I have RE2 in my N64 bin.  I'll join in next round then.  I've played short portions of several of the games, but only really played through RE4.
