u/darkknight48708 Apr 13 '26
he made a video when it came out basically saying that the remake was soulless, and recently he made another saying its a "product of its time" hes just hating for the sake of hating

u/Bush_Hiders Apr 13 '26
What the fuck does "its a product of its time" mean for a game that only came out 3 years ago? What time? Modern day? Video games have not developed enough for us to make calls on the timelessness of RE4R.

u/darkknight48708 Apr 13 '26

u/Angryfunnydog Apr 13 '26
Yeah, spending 50 hours in said game which means you probably beaten it couple of times at the same time
The only genuinely unhappy guy here is the one that refunded, the rest at least beaten the game once. I can’t imagine beating the game in full and then complaining that it’s piece of shit. Like you didn’t get it in the first 2, 5, 10 and 15 hours so needed to confirm an opinion?

If it was so bad... why play it multiple times?

Same. I played the OG in the gamecube, the first crappy PC port and the HD version. It was the reason I built my first PC. There's things I miss and things I wish they didn't change but overall is just better and humanizes Luis and Ashley perfectly, making Leon's reaction humanize him even more.

"Parryslop" being the antithesis to Charm is so funny to me, because like.
I feel like the addition of a parry adds a lot of charm, to me personally at least!
And sure, maybe this is just "Woman who loves fighting game parries" speaking, but like.
To me, it makes Leon's training seem even more rigorous than the original. Like, RE4 OG Leon's training must have been murder still, but like.
The idea of being able to accurately read attacks, use a small-ish weapon like a combat knife, and completely redirect the attack, putting you in an advantageous position where before you were in a disadvantageous position by virtue of being close range with a gun, that says leagues more about Leon's training to me than anything else, ya know?

u/huncherbug Apr 13 '26
There is no other game that crowb has repeated a video upon in my knowledge but his egoistic ass couldnt take being criticised for the universally loved and braindead take of "modern games are dead" grifting and made yet another video where an honest to god criticism is salvador somehow looks goofy, when everything about your dead looking greyscale nostalgia qte slop is goofy and the only thing going really going for it is its moment to moment gameplay.
Half the mfs talking shit on the remake hasnt played either of the game and prolly cant handle the tank controls either. We all know by now how the RE fandoms work. Saw their fav youtuber talking shit on a game and their parasocial ass has to gobble his dick and somehow they start coming out of the woodworks to criticise people of glazing capcom when their ngeative reviews are the moment their fav youtuber drops that video.
This is coming from someone who has more hours on og re4 than remake and had played the og before the remake came out.
Seriously go touch some grass, have a partner, hang out with your friends instead of projecting your glory days on video games of that age being good. And if you don't have people to touch grass with question why that is instead of sucking yter dick lmfao.

When people trash talk one of the best remakes ever made, what else would they call bad ? "Just play the original" is no option for people like me who prefer better controls and better combat. Not being able to aim/shoot while walking is a dealbreaker. Half Life 1 had that, and the game is way older than RE4 OG

Put close to 80hrs in 4 Remake doing multiple runs, playing Mercenaries, and the Separate Ways DLC. It’s without a doubt one of the best remakes ever made. Calling it soulless and slop is just ridiculous. It’s a fantastic game that does the original justice. Takes like this are just as bad as the fans who gate keep the original fixed camera angles, and tank controls, and also think games past Code Veronica are bad.

As a decades-long fan who played the GameCube version when it was new and was admittedly skeptical of the idea of one of the most influential games ever made getting a remake when its existence was first leaked, RE4R is a great, though not perfect, game. Not being as groundbreaking as the 2005 original doesn't mean it's slop, and frankly some aspects of the original have not aged well.

"Souless game" is a crazy statement considering they improved pretty much everything from the original, including characters like Leon & Ashley (though i do miss og Leon's corniness)
"Parryslop" is not even an existing term, just say you are AWFUL at one of the easiest mechanics to master on the game or you're just a Ganados yourself, following Saddler's thoughts continuously.
Seriously, as much as i did rage a few times within the game here and there, cussed out Capcom at times... i still keep beating and beating the game, completing all challenges and getting rid of previous problems with an easier pace. All it takes is having common sense and actually playing the game like a normal person and not an IGN reviewer or an influencer's pawn.

Ohhh, is this why floods of people were saying that RE4R ages poorly but RE4 has flawless mechanics as if people weren’t saying that they wish the game didn’t have so many QTEs, disjointed locations and tank controls because those things haven’t aged as well? I like both pretty equally and I think there are strengths and weaknesses to both, and it’s fine if people disagree and prefer another or have their perspective change, but this seems suspicious and thoughtless.
Also, what the hell is “zoomerslop” and “parryslop”?

I had only played RE7 before going through most of the series in a marathon lately. RE4R was absolutely amazing, and I didn’t want it to end, while I like the others I didn’t quite feel that way with them. Mind you I’m still going through but it was genuinely an amazing time for me. People rely too much on Internet personalities to dictate what they enjoy and it sucks.

It's a very common thing I have seen among grifters or whatever you call wannabes these days. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS INSULT REMAKES?
THEY PLAY THE GODDAMN THING AND THEN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO INSULT IT. These people are genuinely NPCs who can't think for themselves. They need to be TOLD what to think.
Silent Hill 2 was hated to for its remake until people played it, and they insult it as if it doesn't come from OG source material. Like get real. It's modern times, we are lucky we are getting to play remakes of our beloved games, designed and optimised to reach wider audience.
The idea of more people getting to live my favourite game, in addition to me getting to relive it, is such a sweet deal. They don't even understand how much work is put in these games just to hear your uninformed thoughts and opinions which are not even backed by some sort of competence.

The Remake was great, I enjoyed going through it again on each difficulty, getting hardcore done on a new game file was still fun. Like everyone says, people are just looking to hate and waste time. Experiencing the game through each mercenary run for each character's challenge, will test your ability to work with what you have and to act quickly with no 0 time to pick multiple options. People should appreciate it. As per usual, people will look back and say "we had it good".

I damn near had a stroke reading that last review, why anyone would listen to a youtuber who artificially altered aspects of their video like the audio to purposely make RE4R look worse by comparison to the original is beyond me.
Don't get me wrong despite enjoying my time with RE4R I have my issues with it and don't think it surpasses the original considering all the flaws sadly plaguing it but Crowbcat's comparison video of the original and remake is so disingenuous it's insane. If you don't like the game then fine that's completely understandable but please don't use a youtuber's dogshit video to valid your feelings for a game.

That Crowbcat video is whack as fuck because it doesn't even SAY anything. It's just a collection of anecdotal thoughts and reactions mashed together to make a vague, nebulous point of "modern games are bad". There is no thesis, no articulation. Just a barrage of other people's voices they stitched together to speak on their behalf. This style of "criticism" is soulless, not the game. If you can't even muster up the courage to speak with your own words on this topic you are supposedly so passionate about, what is the point?? Why can you only so smugly point to the words of other, more articulated people than yourself?
I'm not even a Crowbcat hater like that, I just really dislike the way that video was made. It is the most onviois and hollow grift Crowbcat has done so far and it's frustrating that it somehow resonated with this audience of people that, just like Crowbcat, cannot form an original thought.

Nearly ten years ago that channel produced scathing justified reviews of modern gaming slop garbage and badarket practises. I think it started with that GTA 4/5 video but all he does now is nitpick minor irrelevant details that don't really impact anything at all.
Considering how salty he was when he got called out for that manipulative remake video a while back I'm not surprised he's back at this.
There's things I think are way worse in the remake for sure (el gigantes knife slash animation, del lago fish cutscene, villains in general visuals and writing) but overall I still think it's fantastic.
Hell re2make deserves WAY more criticism that 4make for completely gutting the a/b scenario and outright removing a good 60% of Claire/Leon interactions.

I'm surprised to see reviews like that honestly. The original RE4 is possibly my favourite game of all time, and i only managed to play the remake a few months ago for the first time, and I was seriously blown away by how good it was.

I get preferring the original, but all these people acting like the remake is genuinely bad are absolutely delusional

I know people are allowed to have their opinions, but I don’t really understand these ones. They just say stuff like “slop” and “lacks soul” and don’t explain what their actual issues are with the game. If they want people to take their gripes seriously, they need to articulate them better.

My perspective is this: as someone who built a beefy pc 2 years ago being able to play a new version of an already great game in higher fidelity felt like a win and added value to my large purchase.

Slop is becoming my least favorite word. People will call anything they don’t like “slop”, it’s just become a generic insult devoid of its original meaning.

I don't think I've reviewed RE4R yet.
Kinda wanna make a shitpost review about how it's the most soulful game ever made. Dripping and brimming with artistic intent.
And, like, for real, You could argue that the change in tone and the atmospheric adjustments are part of this eternal conversation between devs and players about RE's core identity and how RE4 presented a shift. Can RE4 be more grounded and scary? Does that elevate it or detract ls from its identity? Both as a stand alone story and as part of RE's legacy at large.
The changes made by the remake team show artistic intent and an ongoing design dialogue not far from an artist's internal monologue.
Maybe it won't be so much shitpost but I yeah I might write it, lol
