whats that tim rogers quote about bioshock infinite? “the best game ever and the worst game ever smashed together in a supercollider” or something. i think that’s actually resident evil 6. it has 4 campaigns! 4! with (presumably) 4 final bosses! it’s ridiculous excess. absolute banger
highlights so far w 2 campaigns down:
- junji ito-ish bit in chris’ campaign where yre invisible walled into three stories of rlly narrow residential hallways and you have to run around and find these giant manbug enemies that skitter around the ceilings and run through you knocking you down as soon as you get near. real pathos to those vermin.
-full starting up a car qte
-enemies wearing porcelain masks that shatter when you hit them
-the early progression in leon’s campaign, going to a cathedral into caves under the cathedral into labs under the caves
-every boss fight has like 5 fucking phases
-jetfighter level
-sunsets
-el giganto fight in a battlefield 2 modern combat map
-crystalline icecaves with xylophone footstep sounds
-yamming around on skidoos looking for USBs in a blizzard
-multiple crash bandicoot style running into screen sequences
-UI that changes depending on what type of phone the player character has at a given moment
-this one gleaming gold door, or at least it’s the only one i’ve found !rare collectible!
the whole thing reminds me of this arthur jafa phrase “art at the tempo of emergency”. it isn’t at the tempo of emergency. but it could be. i wonder what that would look like. as is its maybe the apex of vidcon excess, twenty plus hours of ironic “lol that owns”
