If Raid Mode’s My Instrument, Watch Me Play Jazz

I have one or two useful tips that you’ll have to slog through a malaise of me making animal grunts to listen to. But it’s worth it. Raid Mode is my expertise, after all, and if it happens to be the only thing I’m good at in life, well, that’s sad, but also perfectly okay, but also still so sad.

“Revelations 2 is a solid chunk of morbid tone, creeping disasters, and fraught action. Unlike its big budget brothers, it treats players to a scaled back, almost intimate jaunt through the dark that ends up being one of the better detours Resident Evil has taken in the last five years.“

Resident Evil Revelations 2’s Mini-Game is Surprisingly Deep and Stupidly Addicting

Capcom’s latest foray into its series of bio-organic terrors and the hard-faced people that shoot said terrors in the face is probably the most experimental Resident Evil yet.

I could spend more time tuggin’ on your ear about how diverse the skill system is in the campaign or how refreshing it is to finally — finally — see the game’s writing actually try its hand at earnest, believable characterization, but I think I may just wait until the full four episodes release into the wild so as to analyze the whole offering.

In the meantime, there’s Raid Mode. And the internet’s favorite gaming junkets are just starting to catch on to how fucking good it actually is. Despite sticking their ass up at Revelations 2’s inaugural episode, Kotaku’s been plugging in hour after hour in the bonus mode, calling it a “hidden RPG“ within the game. One of Destructoid’s writers has been going at the mode daily. Why? Because it’s incredibly replayable and legitimately addicting.

Probably going to stream Revelations 2 tonight. Very probably. Be a pal and join me?
