#so i can get the key card and get OUT of the rpd

[mishkakagehishka]

I will say the fact that Mr X doesn't just despawn is a very, very good horror mechanic. Because, let me tell you, i am pissing myself trying to avoid him.

I played some more of the RE2 remake

Why yes I have. Played some more Leon and Claire. Little spoilers possibly despite it’s a remake of a older game. But that’s just me.

Especially it’s late, and I didn’t make a post about this after the game. I had a apple and made two bags of popcorn for after this I’ll watch some YT.

To be honest this is probably one of my favorite Resident Evil games. It seriously is because again it’s the kind of game I like. Despite the puzzles seem difficult to me until I check YT on my PS4 and realize how dumb I was. 

So the last places I left on each story.

On Leon’s I’m finally Ada, and on Claire’s well I’m under this orphanage now.

Now just some highlights I wanna mention.

That alligator chase was pretty cool. I didn’t take any damage from it. Yet I was too close when that alligator corpse came towards me and I went back a bit. But Leon still said his line. 

Honestly that part playing as Sherry in the orphanage felt tense. Something that I felt was unique to a game like this. Trying to make sure I don’t do any fuck ups which I’m glad I didn’t do anything. Just staying away from Irons. Again that was a tense part because I’m playing as a child in this kind of realistic situation with this character who’s clearly a fucking bastard.

Lickers are dodgy motherfuckers. Especially when aiming that grenade launcher at them. I think it was twice I missed two at first. They are fucking quick.

After I finally get that garage key card. As I wait for the door to open, Mr. X literally surprises me as he punches my back. This was as Claire. Seriously that surprised me. Including Mr. X can be a asshole, he’s a scary force in his own right. Someone I’d rather not fuck with. But I can dodge him the best I can unless I’m surround. Mainly in Leon’s story in the jail luckily I was able to live through that. 

It’s a great thing I haven’t died in any of these stories. 

I feel like I can’t go back for the sub machine for Claire in the RPD Station. Which sucks but hopefully I can get some weapons under that orphanage or whatever.

Also I would love it if Mr. X actually wanted to put back on his hat. But it doesn’t happen. Honestly I’m surprised and question why Umbrella even bothered to have a hat on him anyway. Maybe to give him more character or whatever. Which sounds stupid. 

I will share this, the first time I met him as Leon, I shot off his hat at first to get the, “Hat’s Off” trophy. Basically Mr. X was pissed about that.

Then we have moments because I don’t have the sub machine gun, I’m killing Cerberus dogs with my two pistols I have as Claire. Basically getting the fuck out of my way even shooting them through the fence. Because I’m on my way to save Sherry. Even telling the 2nd zombie on the bus to get the fuck out of my way after shooting it twice. 

Just being honest, that Robert Kendo scene in Leon’s story....I literally said that’s tragic...because I was not expecting a scene like that. It’s honestly cool and had to look up YT to spell that characters name. But I appreciate the fact while I haven’t played these yet, the idea of the, “Ghost Survivors” modes add more to the shit going on in Raccoon City. Especially that scene with the Kendo the gun shop owner was quite a major difference compared to that 1998 original.

Again I enjoyed playing the game again. That’s what I did after I shared that video of Leon’s enemy engagement dialogue. I was thinking of playing Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3. But I decided on Resident Evil 2. Seriously a very good game and even if a lot of people have already said it. I’d love to see Resident Evil 3 remade.

But also I just feel like the original trilogy are the only games that should be remade. Okay we have Code Veronica but I don’t have more experience with that game and I’m just rambling now.

Edit I’m watching Gamer’s Little Playground of, “Forgotten Soldier” and read in the comments that the, “Ghost Survivors” are just what if’s. So alright then that’s interesting. Another edit since I’m done with watching that video and skipped through it a bit and looking up videos of Leon and Claire in their classic costumes in this game. I forgot to mention I bought the original soundtrack for the game. I probably might switch the music to the original because that music is iconic and amazing. Since you have the choice to do that in the remake.

Okay my actual final edit because this was a highlight for me. After meeting Irons for the first time as Claire. I find this booklet or whatever in the area he arrived in. When reading it as it describes him I just started laughing because of how bullshit it was of it describing him as this wonderful guy.

Resident Evil 2 Reverse AU, Saving Sherry

Leon aimed the his gun at thing's big bulging eye but was knocked off his feet as the creature charged at him. His head hit the wall with a loud bang and the officer hissed in pain as he landed on his right shoulder. The blonde struggled to get up as the massive creature reared to charge again before he pulled up the gun and aimed. It was a direct hit making the thing back away slightly, a loud pained hiss could be heard.

Going to shoot again Leon realized the barrel was empty. Ducking behind one of the walls he went to reload the gun, the creature loudly roaring.

"Shit, shit, shit," he muttered in the struggle before leaning out to shoot the thing. It hit the thing in what was left of it's human face making it turn in his direction unfazed. "Fuck!"

It came at him as he ran away from the thing, firing again and hitting the eye with a sickening squelch. Turning Leon realized he accidentally cornered himself between the railing and a very pissed off zombie. It charged at him angrily roaring forcing the officer to duck out of the way. A combination of luck and physics sent the creature falling over the railing head first. It screamed as it went down, out of sight. Leon let out a relieved sigh as he fell to the floor holding his shoulder. Reaching into his fanny pack Leon brought out a first aid spray and aimed it at his shoulder. He hissed at the contact before grabbing a bandage and wrapping it around the shoulder.

Getting up he went back to where he'd fallen earlier and called out. "Hey? Little girl...? It's safe now, the monster's gone." The child walked over to edge of the catwalk.

"Are you sure?" She looked down nervously.

"Yeah, I promise. Everything's fine. But do you see that latter?" He gestured to it. "Could you lower it for me?" The girl looked at it before turning to Leon.

"Will you help me find my mom?"

"Your mom is down here?" Leon asked confused. Maybe she was a police officer?

"I think so...well I hope so." Leon hoped her mom wasn't one of the many people he had to end up shooting earlier.

"Yeah, of course I'll help you." Leon nodded and the girl smiled before flipping the switch that let the latter down. Climbing up he began to follow the child.

"This way!" She grabbed Leon's hand and began to lead him up the catwalk into a control room. There was a large lever in the middle of the panel. "I couldn't get it to move..." Leon grabbed the lever and pulled, hard. A loud boom followed by the catwalk adjusting, now allowing them to cross the other side. "You got it!" She sounded happy and grabbed his hand leading him out.

"So, what's your name?"

"I'm Sherry!"

"Nice to meet you Sherry, I'm Leon. Now, what can you tell me about your mom? Is she a police officer?"

"No, she works for Umbrella. She's making an important new medicine."

"Umbrella? The big pharmaceutical company?'

"Yeah. She's always there, I don't get to see her much."

"Well, hopefully we'll find her soon." Going through the hallways they came to a stop at another latter that led up. "Another latter. I'm so fu-" Leon stopped himself when he remembered Sherry. "-done. I'm so done with this."

"It's okay, you can say bad words around me. My babysitter does all the time."

"Well they shouldn't." Sherry giggled as he began to climb, stopping at a manhole cover. It took a few tries, his shoulder screaming in pain as he did so but the officer managed to finally to lift it. Getting out he helped lift Sherry out after him.

"Over there!" Sherry pointed at the barricade and rushed over with Leon close behind. They stopped just short and Leon held back a curse when he saw the card reader. "It's...closed..."

"We need a key card." Leon kneeled down and tried to lift the barricade. Sherry tried to help but it had almost no impact. "Are you sure this is the way?"

"Yeah! My mom took me through here last time."

"Sherry?" A voice called out making the two turn around to see an older man. Standing up Leon stared as Sherry stood close behind him. "I've been looking for you everywhere." The man stepped into the light allowing them to see his face. "Brave little girl, leaving her house in the middle of this mess."

"...Chief Irons?" Leon asked surprised to see the man. The man looked him over, seeing the RPD vest.

"I'm sorry, do you work here?"

"My name's Leon Kennedy, I was supposed to start today."

"Ah, the new meter maid. Surprised you're still alive, I thought everyone else in the station was dead." Leon went to say something before the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. "On the ground, hands behind your head."

"Sir, what are you-" the man shot the gun near the officer, just missing his side.

"On the ground, now." Leon glared before reluctantly doing so. The man tossed something he couldn't see to Sherry. "Sherry, tie his hands."

"Why are you doing t-"

"Shut up. Tie him." Sherry stared at him and he grunted. "Alright, tie him up now or he dies." He approached, putting the gun directly against Leon's head. Sherry hesitated before grabbing the man's hands and doing what the police chief wanted.

"What's this all about?" Leon managed to get out through gritted teeth.

"Child endangerment for a start." The man put his key card in allowing the barricade to go up.

"What are you going to do to her?"

"None of your business!" The man snapped as he turned around. "Sherry, come here." The man tried to grab her and she hid behind Leon

"Don't fucking touch her, I swear to God if you hurt her you'll get arrested before-" The man cut Leon off by kicking Leon harshly in the chest knocking him back as he grunted in pain.

"Sherry, get over here. Now." The girl stared terrified at the man holding a gun on her. The man leaned down, shoving the gun in Leon's face, directly between his eyes. "Sherry, get over here now before I shoot his fucking brains out."

"Ok! Ok! I'll go!" Sherry moved towards the man. "But you better be taking me to my mom." Chief Irons got up, letting go of Leon and lifting his hands.

"Of course."

"Sherry, don't listen to him he's full of shit!" The police chief glared at the officer, using his gun to pistol whip Leon hard across the face. He gasped in pain as he fell back on his injured shoulder.

"Stop hurting him please!" Sherry protested when the man grabbed her roughly, dragging her along.

"Don't tell me how to do my fucking job!"

"Stop! Let me go!" The girl cried as Leon tried to wedge the knife out of his fanny pack. Managing to get it between his fingers and cutting at the ropes around his wrists. The police chief closed the barricade behind him as he shoved Sherry in the waiting car. By the time Leon finally got his hands free the man was already starting the car.

"SHERRY!" The car drive away and the man kicked the barricade angrily. Looking down Leon paused when he saw something on the ground. Picking it up he saw it was the medallion Sherry had been wearing earlier. He pocketed it, ready to return it when he found her again.
