Finish Vanquish and Shadows of the Damned if you haven't. Both are worth it.

I need to.  I've held off on playing Vanquish for years.  :-[  Glad it's coming to Steam. 

With Shadows Of The Damned, I played a huge chunk of it, then stopped because I sold off most of my 360 stuff.  Got it on PS3 but have yet to play it again.  I also got the Japanese version (dat cover), but it's apparently slightly-censored.  :-\

I got the 360 version as a gift and I think that's about all of it I ever played.

I still have the 360 from when it first came out and I don't think I've played it for more than 30 minutes.

But I''' be buying the Steam version anyway. :trumps

I'll wait for the infinite boost mod so I can have infinite bullet time. I couldn't get into the "crazy" with it on such a limited system.

Still, $15 for the previous ownership discount is nothing to sneeze at, so I'll replace my PS3 copy with it.

Did he lie, though? God Hand is Mikami's weakest title post RE4. Vanquish isn't much better (IMO), but it's a more solid outing.

Shadows of the Damned is Mikami? I thought that was Suda.

As it is, I haven't gotten around to Evil Within. I have it bought, but I just haven't downloaded it to go through. I may do that this summer.

Do yourself a favor and don't. It is essentially Last Of Us slight with some annoying sections. Some good moments, but not really worth playing through.

It was a big disappointment, I wasn't surprised when I heard Bethesda interfered with development.

Are you kidding? (I never played Last of Us, mind)

The Evil Within is a fantastic action game and a worthy successor to RE4 even if it's only half as good (RE4 set the bar waaaaaaaay too high, being one of the finest games ever made).

TEW really shined during it's replays, the higher difficulty made the sections and set pieces a lot more memorable, and gave you a lot of time to reflect on the design of the game and really focus on arsenal management and survival. IDK, the game definitely has mixed opinions but I loved the massive challenge of AKUMU mode, not to mention the story and world building. The DLC expansion missions are awesome also.

Call me an Evil Within Stan :p

I didn't like The Evil Within. 

:idont

But I think it ended up getting some patches after I sold it?  Hard to remember.
