Luis being a more prominent character was the best story change they could’ve done
almost made me tear up even though i knew he was going to die
Damn Right
Not to mention adding his backstory about him and his grandfather living in the village. I also like that he isn't randomly a cop that didn't act like one at all.
Luis really went from "funny "Balistics" guy who literally got dicked on" to arguably the most improved character in the whole remake
@@DemonLordSparda that was a throwaway line in the original
The grandfather thing
I like how specific all of Salazar's insults are during the fight. You can tell he was projecting and screaming things at you that were said to him in the past. "You should have never been born you small, small man."
Yeah, it's actually a really cool detail.
It's really cool and sad
Also the pulgarcito thing, I believe, which you see in the final file for the chapter
@@EddieB-ready I didn't catch the "pulgarcito" thing until watching another stream. It's such a brilliant way to expand on the character.
Yeah, those were monstrous outbursts of deeply ingrained and unresolved trauma. It's hard to tell if Salazar was born a shit-kid or was nurtured into one due to the "deal with the devil" his mother made to cure his sickness, but the fact that the game managed to subtly invoke sympathy for this disgusting bomb-pooping freakazoid is quite a feat. It doesn't try to redeem him, but it definitely gives more context and flavor to the history and horror of the Plagas.
Luis getting killed by Krauser is actually genius because it makes the boss fight personal for the player aswell, not just Leon like it was in the OG.
Even in the OG it was personal because Sadler killed Luis in front of leon
@@dragonstorm_gaming 1. We barely even got to know Lewis in the original. 2. What does that have to do with giving us more motivation against Krauser? In both versions we already have plenty of motivation again Saddler, Krauser was just some random dude that the game told us had a bunch of history with Leon that has never been shown or talked about until then. I love the OG and it still stands the test of time, but this change with Luis was definitely an improvement in my opinion.
And Capcom executed it perfectly. They gave us probably the most fun segment in the entire game involving Luis and then have him die afterwards. The emotional high and low was what sells it; I was definitely out for blood after that stab 😂
@@davenic2471 my motivation for krauser is OG is to skill him in five seconds with a knife
Well the problem is by removing every instance of Saddler doing anything he's kinda just some guy at the end. While making you more invested in Krauser is cool, you definately don't feel as much about Saddler... And he's kinda the final boss so it sucks a little.
Max's theory for how the knife parry system was made is spot on.
They confirmed in an interview they designed the Krauser knife fight to be playable and loved the system they made so much they made it work with the rest of the game.
I also predicted it. When we first found out about the parry system I said that it felt like they made it specifically with the Krauser fight in mind. I'm very happy about that one.
@@Yung_Ceiling_Fan You're giving him waaaay more credit than he deserves. He has talked about several things that were mentioned in the interviews as if he has no idea that they were explicitly talked about. Streamers and UA-camrs all have holes in their brains, it's basically a rule that once you become one you lose your long-term and short-term memory in relation to whatever game you are currently at random. It's just in the contract.
@@Amrehlu butthurt much 😂
“They did it but better.” Went through my mind A LOT as I played this. I am incredibly pleased with this remake.
Ashley being in perfect synchronization with the player when she says “This sucks!” Is amazing. Her delivery is great too.
Yeah it feels so genuine lol
Great voice actress, dare to say it's the best "upgrade" if compared to the original. The way she screams, lol she earned those pay checks
The Moment Luis died, I suddenly heard the sobs of countless beautiful single ladies. R.I.P The Chad before Chads.
Even Beyonce was crying
Such a loss to the ladies of the world.
The fact I laughed at this comment back in the day after actually shedding a tear over Luis. Just played through this chapter myself and shed a few tears. Came back to this gameplay and read the comments and laughed at your joke AGAIN and remembered the first time I did.
Love it.
The Luis death in the remake hit harder for me than the original honestly after they made him have more character and screen time
I loved him. And his fascination with Don Quixote was so endearing
@@andreseh87 i still dont get what don quixote means and what it has to do with luis
@@testhekid don Quixote is a spanish (i think) tale of a man who wants to be a hero but is foolish and deluded, famously he fights a windmill thinking its a dragon.
@@shadowforce96 Oh, I love that old man story.
Shout out to my boy Leon’s Ankles they deserve an award for all those flips, jumps, and landings they take without snapping. Dude is the real bionic commando !!
Leon is a goddamn super agent
Max's face during the whole Verdugo encounter is just the best 😆
Love that they gave Luis a bigger role in the game.
Agreed. And you know they are probably testing AI for the RE5 remake. At this point I'm like 80% sure it'll be the next remake.
@@lukeprimo4672 I think Code Veronica is getting a remake next before RE5
I love how they make him your little adventure buddy in the mines. He will save your ass so many times.
Fun fact: While in the og game the Krauser vs Leon knife battle looks more like them using short swords than knives, the short cutscene in the remake seems to integrate similar moves to "Kali" which is one of the names that is used to designate advanced knife fighting martial arts.
It's just a nice detail.
That small section with Max not understanding the clock puzzle was some of the funniest shit I've seen. Made me cry out of laughter.
He solved the puzzle unsuccessfully lmao
I know this is a slightly older comment, but do they change the puzzle? It was 11:04 on one of my playthroughs.
@@TerryCldfire For easy and standard its 11:04 but for hardcore and higher its 7:00
Max is a simple man.
Max's face during the ENTIRE Minecart sequence is a shining endorsement of this remake.
Also, it's very wholesome hearing your child in the background!
1:39:00 "They did it, but better!"
that's a back of the box quote right there
The lighting in the Krauser knife fight just sets the atmosphere right.
Such a good fight, I was really curious how it would play out and it ended up being awesome
Max will ignore an enemy behind him 2 inches away to shoot the one 10 yards away... Every time.
Then let out a hilarious, "Ow!"
Bro I do this too haha
It's his disability! lol
Thank u I was screaming at my phone the whole time😂
@@amantejohnson6916 isn't just this game. I saw him do it in RE2 remake and elden ring. I can predict his death like a psychic at this point...he hates healing too.
2:16:45 The most Metal death of the playthrough.
2:22:57 is also pretty cinematic
@@claykeaa yeah, but the dude wasn't on fire
Leaving my name here, so I can easily go back and look at this brutality while listening to death metal.
The armadura redesign has to be one of my favorite enemy redesigns in the remake which is funny because they were probably one of the more forgetable enemies in the original. The way they emphasize the plaga using the armor like a shell is amazing. And the ashley section is 100 times better because of it. Seeing the plaga crawl back into the armor from the blue light is an amazing detail, and it gives a story reason for how the merchant is able to avoid enemies since he always has the blue light around him.
Didn't even notice that!
Tbf that was already a part with the og. But yeah, it's awesome detail.
Max: Im gunna use the magnum..*Uses every other gun except the magnum*
he carried around 2 attachable mines without the bolt thrower in his inventory for like half the entire game
@@TheBADProductions agreed that was kinda funny lol but at least he used that a couple times on the village chief.
(Been chopping these at 2 hrs a piece so don't know if he ever does us it)
@@coryyoung7544 he sells them eventually, way way later
Man, the Verdugo is so friggin' cool. One of the best monster designs ever.
Playing this remake was the first time I’ve ever actually fought that thing legit lol. I’ve played the original many times but i always found that thing intimidating so everytime I’d just buy a rocket launcher right before, freeze him with one of those cryotanks and one shot him with it.
@@jeremyroberts8822 That's what I did on my first playthrough lol. As soon as I froze him I was like "Nah, screw this" and blew him the hell up.
I like how Leon backflips at times if u correctly evade the tail attack.
@@jeremyroberts8822 i just finished the og and didn’t even know you could freeze him till watching someone fight the remake version, so i thought he was invincible and kept circling him with 1hp till the elevator opened
Max: "I win."
Leon: "Yeah, that's right."
And then they both high-fived one another.
It took almost 30 years for the knife to finally become a star in this franchise
I’m glad they nailed this remake
I hope Mercenaries is just as good as the VR Mercenaries with challenges and all.
Indeed. Which makes it even sadder for me bcoz I wish RE3make would get the same passion and work as this.
Talk about a miss opportunity to create the perfect RE game in a Raccoon city setting with Nemesis and Nikolai being the main villains. Hopefully within 20yr we shall get yet another proper R3make remake. 😂
Right! Hope they keep pumping them out!
Absolutely killed this game
Luis death in the remake made me tear up a little when in the OG i didn't feel anything this alone makes the remake superior for me.
The remake is superior in every way except with Ada
@@mohabalserafe3795 not like she's anything special in RE 4
@@KsiOlajigglyOlatittiesDiabetes nah her voice was much better than the remake and have more personality
@@mohabalserafe3795 What does voice has anything to do with character importance and i kinda like her like this as well instead of feeling more playful towards Leon she feels more uptight currently at least.
@@mohabalserafe3795 Nah remake is good but sometimes it feels like it goes through the motions because the original did but since the original did cheesy shit to justify it and the remake wants to minimize it but as a result they end up a bit half baked at points.
Like in this episode. There is no justification for el Verdugo fight.
In the original you get thrown into the pit, leon uses a grapling hook and Salazar is like "why am I not hearing the squish" with his speaker thing to his ear which Leon shoots and makes Salazar's ears ring, pissing him off and making him send the Verdugo to hunt you down (it's also great for a littke tension building about fighting that guy)
Verdugo now shouldn 't even know you are alive yet alone hunting you down.
Also what happens with the second Verdugo? In the original Salazar and it merge for his bossfight, now he just disappears.
The music in the Salazar boss fight is so good, by now my favorite soundtrack in the game.
I'm basically just echoing Max, but even as a viewer, the minecart sequences were super fun to watch
Just finished that chapter and had to come see Max's reaction lol. Gotta stop watching now though, want to experience the rest for my self for the 1st time as well.
Max not knowing how to kill the Verdugo and immediately shooting the bird he needed to follow hurt my soul.
The chapter with Luis is my favourite in this game! Its so fun and the battle with the two gigante is so cool. You should always ALWAYS check map if you miss any treasures.
Apparently, the x5 crit chance on the starter pistol will also apply to your knife melee and kicks when you have it equipped as well, combine that with the 20% bonus chance to melee crit case accessory and leon's knife and leg might as well be lightsabers.
Wait what?? X5 crit chance with the normal starter?? And it can stack with the knife /kick?? Are you serious??
@@mookiestewart3776 that's what I've heard, but take it with a pinch of salt. someone turned on unlimited ammo and did the louis house hold out part over and over with all the fully upgraded pistols to see what was most effective, and they noticed they were one shotting dudes with a follow up melee WAY more often with the starter pistol. Matilda was the best one overall for it's sheer potential of holding off enemies with it's burst according to them, but it obviously chews through ammo fast.
If true it must be an oversight.
@@SolProxy not necessarily, the same mechanic was in the original game and it was noticeable to a degree where you could just run up to plagas and knife them before they had a chance to attack you.
As someone who has that set-up it is not nearly as powerful as you'd expect. I have been considering picking up the Matilda and stock even though I have the 5x crit exclusive.
Running theme. Max, "I'm going to use my Magnum is the plan." Proceeds to not use his magnum while using shotgun, sniper, and pistol.
Which is the right plan. Magnum should be used exclusive against bosses
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I wasn't stating anything about one plan vs another plan. I was stating the haha irony that he said the plan was TO USE the Magnum and then DID NOT USE.
Those knights after Salazar only spawn on hardcore and above. A little terrifying troll and a farewell to the knights and the castle.
I love it, I wonder if it's part of the "harder challenges" that hardcore mode boasts.
Really? LoL, that's funny.
I can't believe they literally give another cart ride like they just know people will want it more 🤣🤣🤣
You can literally just walk in a circle while hugging that gold knight and he will never be able to hit you until he pops his plaga. I killed him entirely with the bolt thrower and got all my ammo back. That thing is so useful if you upgrade it, basically a decent pistol with reusable ammo.
That railcar sequence was exhilarating. Incredible stuff.
Should be a separate mode you can replay at any time
I could see them doing like dead by dawn for vr you know that rollercoaster shoothouse?
2:23:08 the salvador in fire on the dead frame is sick
Lmao Max figuring out the time for the clock is painful and hilarious to watch
Talk about overthinking it lol
Honestly though, I made the same mistake lol.
I thought he was trolling at first
Love watching Max play. Both hilarious and wild, but watching him fight Verdugo and not healing in the mine during the chainsaw encounter had me going insane 😂
Thank you for pausing to admire the amazing visuals, especially the jaw-droppingly lavish castle interiors. Drives me crazy how ppl just sprint through these magnificent halls with nary a glance nor a comment.
"Scan the Doomrat"
I just finished your FFVII Remake playthrough so this cracked me up 😂
I don't know how Max never realized that the knights drop spinels when killed and didn't immediately kill every last one of them
Tip:once u get the blade swinging plagas exposed flash grenades kill them instantly. Blue light is a weakness to them. That's why they freeze whenever Ashley shines the latern on them.
Ramon is projecting his own insecurities onto Leon, calling him a "small, small man" and "Pulgarcito" which is the Spanish version of Tom Thumb literally translated as Little Thumb.
The mine cart area in this game in vastly superior to the one in the original version. That was fantastic. Ramon's fight was WAY better than it was in the original game.
These boss fights have some really good music.
I'm enjoying people's walk throughs to see how differently they play the game. It's a testament to the design to see so many different tactics and set ups and to see where we do the same thing.
That knight at the end after Salazar legit wasn't there during my playthrough, I didn't know different difficulties had stuff like that
Talking about how you would be screwed if you couldn't read Roman numerals, Proceeds to not know how to read a Roman numeral clock...that's just *chef's kiss* exquisite.
Glad I can finally watch this playthru after finishing the game!
Ha I'm waiting on the same. Just finished the chapter at 3:10:00 ish. So have to stop their for know. Just wanted to see Max's reaction after playing that section myself.
I luv him but why is he soo bad at moments…
I just finished it tonight too!!! Already on chapter 3 of ng+ too 🤣🤣
I found this out but the quest to deface the Ramon portrait is a clue to his boss fight, if you save the gold egg and throw it at him in the fight, it does %70 damage to his health, 2 eggs and he's dead
2:19:52 okay that might have been the funniest death I've seen in this game so far
The mine part was so funny 😂 Granny throwing dynamites n shit, sent max and the chainsaw guy flying multiple times, it’s hilarious as hell 😂
"Novistador" sounds freaking funny in spanish. Is like saying "nosight'er", which is ridiculous xD
The part where your with Luis made me think it’s a experiment for a RE5 Remake. ^^’
Leon getting chainsaw'ed by a flaming chainsaw guy should be on a metal album cover
Max: "Where is other twelve?"
Me: "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, MAX!" [out loud]
he had to be trolling us with the time puzzle
Nope. Several people, me included, did understand it this way.
This puzzle is designed for people who can't read Roman numerals and have to "visually" reproduce the numbers.
-"If you don't know roman numerals you'd be screwed"
-Proceeds to fail 🤣
The plaga infested armor is waaaay horrifying in the remake!!!!
I love the little nuances this game has like on standard difficulty the note with the time on it say the time in normal script but on hardcore or professional it’s in Roman numerals. Cool touch Capcom. And that’s just one of many nuances in the game 👌🏽
It makes the puzzle easier on harder difficulties lmao
I dont know spanish and hadnt heard of the names Luis and Leon use...and after I looked it up I was emotionally damaged.
Don Quixote is known as one of the first novels, and its main character Don Quixote centralizes a theme of "One must life with passion despite what others may think" and Sancho Panza was his squire, and the first ever 'sidekick' in a story. My heeeeaaart.....
Maaaan the music in the Ramon fight was absolutely a banger
The Last scene with Luis was truly amazing. GG Capcom, I love what you do with the RE characters
Villagers: *throws dynamite*
Max: "What is exploding!?!?!"
CJ: "Ah Shit, here we go again."
I’m close to the end and man what a journey it’s been. I’m so glad I got the game, definitely one of the best games I’ve played. Just everything about is so well done. ❤
First time playing re4??? Shit slaps man
Max going the wrong way like I did on my playthrough made me bust out laughing. I was so scared playing Ashley 😂
Hey Max! You probably won’t see this but I recently had a bad eye injury and had to keep my eyes closed for 2 days and all I could do was listen to music or podcasts but all I did was listen to you play Re4 remake on UA-cam and it really made me forget about my pain for those few hours
Thank you for that :)
His version of 7 12 will forever be his funniest hour.
Max's face at 2:00 was priceless when the elevator opened 😂
I absolutely love Salazar’s voice echoing through the room from one corner to another during his fight like he’s dancing across the environment
You're supposed to shoot the Verdugo when its frozen. You can kill it and obtain a treasure from it.
The VII XII puzzle killed me lmao
Whole time I was like c'mon Max.. 🤣
It blows my mind that my memory of maxes randomizer playthrough of this game seems to be better than his tons of memories of playing this game over the last 15 years lol
Max warning JJ Incase she's watching the stream is very wholesome.👍
Enjoying this playthrough!
The game is effin amazing. That's all I can say✌🏿💯❤️Thank you for this Max! RIP Luis💙🙏🏿😞
If a person can't read Roman Numerals then I think a puzzle in Resident Evil 4 Remake is the least of their concerns.
The Novistador getting the Ripley Assist is one of the funniest things I've seen on here in awhile.
That "NOOOO" at 4:01:05 hit home because that was me at this part 😂
GRANDPA!!! Maximilian dood 2023
Max should be used to exploding Grandpa from how much he played Bloodborne.
2:16:44-2:17:14 That looked so badass seeing the chainsaw guy on fire when killing max in the game.🙌🏽
2:21:51-2:22:21 Chainsaw girl hitting Max from behind as well.
2:22:56-2:23:23 Chainsaw guy tag teamed Max this time around.
The cold opens never fail to make me chuckle.
In this chapter of max's Journey you shall witness the Birth of Leon Wick
Literally everyone else: “Luis”
Max: “lewis”
2:16:48
That played out too damn well to not admire! Awesome!
2:02:24 "This game is a roller coaster" he says. Oh how funny this is when you know what's about to go down in the very next chapter X)
The salazar boss fight deserves all the claps from me 👏🏼
They took one of the lowest chapters (literally cause it's in a mineshaft) from OG and made it into one of the best. Major props
I really like how Ashley's section similar to Rose you need light them up to stop moving 👍.
My cheeks were fully clenched waiting for that darn elevator in the Verdugo fight
1:51:04
what ever happened to "live with the choices you make! This is hardcore!"
Come on Max 😂
2:52:25 Maximus speaking the truth!!👏💪
The mine cart part was so much fun holy heck Also that was the best chapter im currently in Ch 11 and loving it
The knife fight truly felt like an mgs moment even krauser feels like a mgs character
He is the best boss battle in the game. It would of been cool to get a sort of tutorial level where you and Krauser are together training. It would build up their character dynamic even more.
Big facts! Shit was dope. I'm about to do another playthrough lol.
@@thorinhannahs4614 nah that wouldn't have really fit with the flow of the game having them interact too early.
@@DonYoGi8331 I disagree we already have the intro give us a flashback with him.
@@thorinhannahs4614 again that was a flashback tho.
The haptics on the PS5 for this game are amazing.
They feel reeaaaal nice. Like when you walk thru water and can feel it sloshing around :P
@@HelFrostKara or the mine cart scene?! And the fact that you can feel the difference between a partial and perfect parry. I love it
1.5x on the magnum is great in my opinion early on. Even on hardcore it can one or two shot mini bosses or bosses in three shots.
Also I agree that my one gripe with the game is that in the village there are so many point of no returns without it telling you. I missed on treasure in the factory on my second playthough and had to restart to get the trophy.
I also just realized mid vid there’s an auto-sort lol.
Well the merchant actually tells you to finish any unfinished business if you shop with him right before the point of no return.
@@RadTony He does it sporadically and normally after you’ve already been locked out of it though.
Ive been using the red 9 myself
@@R.-.Wnot really. He tells you right before you’d be locked out of it.
The new design of the armored Garrador is incredible, and I like the new Novistador's camouflage technique. Also I gotta say I enjoyed the ballroom Novistador section much more than the sewers and the cave of the og combined.
I'm so disapointed Max didn't try and kill Verdugo.
I didn’t even know you could just run away from it until he did lol
It's no point just avoid and freeze him and circle in and out of the elevator room till it comes up.
Oh damn, Leon going all out on mutant Renfaire cosplayers with his guns, knife attacks and Ken crazy kick combos makes me wish he was in a Capcom crossover fighting game...(sad)
"the reload is atrocious"
Proceeds to upgrade everything BUT the reload
Man, the metal gear vibes that knife boss fight gave me, all the cinematic... and the luis sera death resembles a lot to Big Boss's death in MGS4.
