Resident Evil is my favorite video game franchise of all time and I want to talk about it. Every single game. But first, we gotta go all the way back to where it started. This is Part 1 of my Resident Evil retrospective, also known as a "Paraspective."

I think it's a testament to the influence of 2 and 3 that 1 is almost criminally overlooked. Resi 1 was a HUGE turning point in survival horror. The setting, the characters, the action, the backgrounds, the diary entries - it all told a story. It single-handedly built a world that we continue to adore and grow with to this day. Even as a stand alone entry, it's perfect. Everything gets closed off, the mansion blows up and you ride off into the sunset. Jill Valentine will always be one of my heros and while I believe nemesis is her finest hour, the Spencer mansion will always be the place that made her such a gaming icon.

The Spencer mansion felt like a real place like few other places in gaming. I didn't have a psx but I had an RE guide and I just imagined everything through the descriptions of the rooms. I doubt so much planning and detail go into creating gameworlds anymore....even in RE games.

The Director's Cut Basement Theme is the theme song for my D&D game I run that is played when ever we're preparing to go. It's the best.

it's like watching only the informational and background episodes of an old something awful let's play thread where instead of seeing any gameplay i have someone read me the manual and nerd out over the little details on the box art - genuinely a form of content i will never get tired of, thanks for being delightfully nerdy about video games and sharing that with us

Oh man, the start of my love for RE. I prefer the remake, but I just love the original for the intro and that voice acting. I like playing as Jill, both because Jill tends to have the better gameplay, but also because Barry is just the best. "You were almost a Jill sandwich!"

Finished the video this AM but didn't have a chance to follow-up until now. Anyway. Really enjoyed the video: the quality of your commentary and editing makes it a smooth watch. Which is rad, and appears (based on comments) to be a common experience with your other viewers. This happens with 007 content, now with RE content (I never played the games, so it's extra fun), but even with your TCG videos (which are intrinsically a bit less interesting to me). My takeaway is that your natural storytelling ability is doing the heavy lifting, and that it'll come out regardless of the subject. I hope this new series goes well, and that your (obvious) effort brings you satisfation!

@Paraspectre 4 ай бұрын

Wow, I really appreciate that, thank you. I think it’ll take some time for this series to reach the right audience since it’s pretty far from Pokémon. But yeah, I’m gonna keep it going regardless 😊
