This kind of game is still more enjoyable with the lights turned off š. If you enjoyed it, you should try the GameCube remasterāthe remake adds so much new content, story, and puzzles! But it’s always better to play the PS1 version first to fully appreciate those improvements. Did you stream for 12 consecutive hours? Oh my god š!
@1:51:00 š GG!
@2:44:00 I wish every gamer would say this, but a huge majority prefer convenience over challenges. If one day you have a kid, please educate them with hard games and no internet. Even if they hate you for it at the time, they will thank you later š. It looks harder for you because you’re not used to hard games, but let me confirm that you play way better than I did when I was a kid. You’re super organized and have a great memoryāyou do nothing randomly or without careful consideration.
You did so well avoiding the fight with the giant snake @4:07:35.
@8:39:00 This is what happens when you play episode 7 before episode 1 ššš Too bad, episode 1 is the masterpiece of this sagaāyou spoiled yourself.
@9:38:00 You can zoom, move, and rotate items. I think it’s done using L1, L2, R1, R2, along with the directional pad.
@10:06:30 The most disturbing thing about this gameplay is that you always go back and forth, giving you the feeling of not progressing, which adds to the fear of being stuck.
@10:47:02 This is where the game fucked up. Wesker was dead; he shouldn’t be present in the following episodes.
@11:27:30 And if you win the game using only the knife, you get a very special reward.
There are alternate endings where Rebecca and/or Jill don’t survive. There were definitely some cutscenes that were new to me because I didn’t play the same way you did. You’re definitely not Gen Zāyou’ve got the Millennial seal of approval š. Congratulations ššš! The way you maneuver the characters despite the unintuitive cameras is beyond human skills. Bravo!
My favorite expressions:
- “Nothing special.”
- “Report has been filed.”
You should try The X-Files on PS1, written by Chris Carter himself. It’s pretty epic, featuring the original actors and spanning 7 PS1 discs!
During the PS1 era, games were developed by teams of 30 to 40 people within a year. Nowadays, with advanced technology, games cost millions to produce, and publishers are no longer groups of friends but capitalists. Their goal is to make games ‘accessible for everyone’: not frustrating, visually stunning, and easy to produce. The result is often beautiful games with little depth, and when you scratch the surface, you frequently find an empty shellāmuch like how people today often seek superficial relationships just to appear more ‘popular’ in their social circles. This is why retro gaming is so popular. It’s not just nostalgia; it’s about games that didn’t rely solely on aesthetics or hypothetical updates to fix issues after release, which wasn’t possible ‘before the internet.’ If you enjoy games with complex puzzles, you’ll love Tomb Raider I, II, III, Super Mario 64, or Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.
At the beginning of 3D gaming, managing the camera while playing was unintuitive. This is why Resident Evil introduced fixed cameras to work around this complexity. While Resident Evil combines action and puzzles, Tomb Raider focuses more on exploration and platforming. It’s worth noting that Resident Evil 1 and Tomb Raider 1 were released at almost the same time, introducing a new genre of mature games. To me, this was more appealing than the colorful universe of Mario. Back then, fans were divided into ‘Resident Evil is the best’ and ‘Tomb Raider is the best’ campsāsimilar to the Sega vs. Nintendo rivalry. This shows just how iconic these two games were.
You’ve taken eleven hours of my dayāI have work to do, you know ššš!
Jill Valentine
Resident Evil: Director's Cut
Full Playthrough
If you love full-motion video, you should try The X-Files: The Game, even off-stream. It’s a kind of detective gameāyou don’t need amazing skills, just your brilliant brain š. First time you play: ‘Scary at monsters.’ Second time: ‘Laugh at their ugly faces.’ Okay, okay. Glad I’m not a monster then!
@ 5:48:30 They won’t blow up the placeāRebecca will. But they don’t know about it, I guess.
@ 5:50:00 See? They donāt plan to trigger a bomb.
@ 5:52:00 That’s very cleverāto only take the gun (in this case, the Magnum) and not the ammo to save a slot. I never thought of that!
@5:54:39 I think the game is primarily designed around Jill’s scenario, with Chris as a secondary (and more difficult) story. This is why there are more cutscenes with Jill. Also, with Chris, you’re constantly alone to heighten the fear, while Barry helps Jill a lot. This also contributes to fewer cutscenes and a less developed story for Chris.
@6:00:00 You saved the entire crew with both charactersāyouāre truly amazing! When I played for the first time, I ran out of bullets during the first Tyrant fight and had to restart the whole game! Also, you didnāt rely on help from the chat or a walkthrough online, which usually spoils all the joy of playing and discovering things by yourself. Thatās one of the reasons I particularly love your channel, even though Iām not deeply into gaming. Respect for your honesty. I once saw a gamer cheat discreetly while pretending to figure things out by themselves (not on this game, but on an insanely difficult one: Yoomurjak’s Ring). It pissed me off terribly because their playthrough looked like an easy journey compared to mine. I mean, no vulgarity, no raging, not a lot of fearāyou check every box! Just, please, donāt play Yoomurjakās Ring. Never

I shared the two episodes on my website. If you don’t have more videos, I’ll get back to work. Thanks, and have a great day!
