Three thoughts:
People applauding him for making obvious observations (without being aware of development realities, which is exactly why they're ignored by people at least passingly familiar with videogames) seem to be easily impressed. Riposte is correct.
- Quick thinking of Capcom to use this for marketing purposes.
- Give him FFXIII or some other ludicrous shit he can make fun of.
- Would be interesting to see hosts be that honest, blunt and critical when they have guests on promoting their latest shitty movie or whatever.

I usually catch his show but I haven't seen any of these before. Great stuff.
That's my mindset, but if the screen-tearing is still there, it's going to ruin the game for me. I hate screen tearing, but can live with it in some cases. I actually did not have big issues with it in Dragon's Dogma. It was mildly annoying when I noticed it, but I surprisingly didn't notice it that much. I found it to be atrocious in the RE6 demo. Mostly because it's supposed to be so dark and atmospheric, and it stuck out like a sore thumb, actually making it difficult to see what the heck was going on. I just couldn't see what was happening in some spots. It was impossible not to be distracted by it. It's even worse in cut scenes. Just takes you right out. I'd take the framerate hit over tearing in this game. Too bad the PC version is lagging behind so long. (and there are no deals on it).

It's kind of funny how non gamers see through the nonsense we've all come to accept in video games as just being part of 'the rules'.
... and I don't even care. :lol
Some of the other clips he's done felt a bit forced, but this was funny through and through.
This looks like the worst re game in a long time.
We will see , but honestly dissapointed so far.
Was not terribly happy with 5 either , i enjoyed 4 immensely but still think the REmake is the best one , i wish theyd give RE2 the REmake treatment instead of making some generic action game.
Oh well , another survival horror franchise ruined R.I.P
Review is actually pretty damn funny =P

I absolutely love Conan's clueless gamer.
Holy shit I laughed at the thumbs up, "I'm Canadian" Leon totally does look like a McKenzie Brother when he does the thumbs up

Pretty good. Classic Conan humor (i lost it when he called that guy his producer).

I thought the thumbs up animation was supposed to be a joke....
Anyway, that was funny.
If he wanted fun interactions with a NPC, he should try MGS3 with EVA....

Yep...
Being aware of development realities myself, it still isn't great, and breaks immersion when things like that happen.

I like that he doesn't care about the storyline.
"You lost me there".
Normally everyone who plays resident evil games are very interested in the story and want to know everything about umbrella and the thousand virusses.

I'll play it simply because RE4 was one of the greatest games ever, and despite RE5 being a boring mess of an action game. I'll probably wait until the inevitable price drop/GOTY edition, since knowing Capcom there is going to be a whole lot of On-disc DLC that I am not paying for.
Yes...those are the normal people

Is this footage from the "better" demo we are getting on Sept. 18th? Wow...it still looks completely whatever-town. I still stand by what I said in the demo thread. This game is going to be one of the most disappointing and unfulfilling experiences, ever. I feel bad for the fans that just can't let go and move on from this. Oh, and as far as what's wrong with the game, well, it's SO much more than the camera issues, frame tearing, and the new control scheme. I won't repeat myself though because no one cared to listen in the other thread. Peace out.

I hope they catch wind of this and change that. Suffice it to say, I won't be giving my partner any praise if I play this game, or risk being ripped out of the story and straight into cheese-ville.
Well duh, it's GAF.
Video was pretty funny. Game looks quite nice too, can't wait for the new demo.

As bad as the animation and screen tearing was what stood out to me was how easy it was to just melee enemies to death. I'm not looking forward to my brother forcing me to play co-op with him that's for sure. At least with RE5 we could pretend we were pirates stealing treasure and ignore how bad the game was. I expected better from the Outbreak director.

You have a stamina meter and it'll run out very quickly if you use it too much. You have to decide when to shoot, when to melee, and when to just avoid enemy contact straight up.
Jake actually can do a combo when he's in full melee mode that'll completely drain his stamina if you use it to the full extent to where he can't do anything except shoot after he's done with it.
I wouldn't worry about being able to just melee everything. Besides that, I'm sure the bigger enemies don't react to it the same way as zombies and J'avo. Melee'n the Ustanak barely causes him to do anything (it does damage him though) and he'll pick you up if you're not careful.
