  • I can certainly understand not liking it. Besides it’s offensive social takes, it’s definitely not what a typical Resident Evil game is supposed to be. But a buddy and I spent years trying to find good coop game experiences and as far as games that actually sculpt and tend to the coop part as opposed to just throwing a coop mode in at the last moment, very few come anywhere close to the effort to put into this one. On harder difficulties it’s actually a really interesting challenge that’s not just about bullet sponges or grinding for better gear but about strategy and effective teamwork.


  • If you can get past its extremely questionable social issues, I’ve never played a co-op combat game as well designed and implemented as resident evil 5. It forces you to work together in a variety of challenges and unexpected ways. It keeps you both focused on mutual goals. And if you don’t work together with situational awareness and effective communication, you will not succeed. I really wish it sold better because I’ve never seen a company since put as much effort into co-op design except maybe the “it takes two” and “a way out” guy. But those aren’t shooters.





  • A number of companies make “tuned” ear plugs to allow some sound through with a desired frequency curve, but reduce SPL to safe levels. I’ve used Etymotic, which sound great but I personally like a little more reduction. Alpine which I thought had enough reduction but too much coloring, and I settled on Earpeace, for like $25 on-line. Silicone, re-usable and easy to clean and they come with three filters to swap in or out depending on your needs / tastes.

    About a third of the way through “Banishers”. Someone, maybe here on Lemmy, recommended it, and damn it was a missed gem.

    If you dig supernatural/ mysteries, with action combat and investigation sequences it’s a hoot. You know what? Imagine a mini-Witcher 3, with a few polish issues.
