Resident Evil is upon us

I went by Gamestop this morning and found out that they received a shipment in but were limiting sales to people who had pre-ordered. Fortunately EB got 24 copies but only 20 were reserved. I'm going to wait until tonight to play it.

I was going to post a picture to prove that I got the game (what fun is getting the game first if you can't be a dick about it) but my scanner isn't working.

Damn I hope the software etc. here doesn't have too many pre-orders... but if it does, I'll just hop on the metro and ride on over to Pentagon City Mall, which has a babbages and EB... along with some other stores... like uhh... Sam Goody and Best Buy, but I dunno if they'd get their shipments in yet... with Silent Hill 2, best buy got it in a day later than the game stores...

But mehopes there aren't too many pre-orders :<

I'll rent it this weekend... I'm in no rush to play this game.

Is it shaped like an actual pentagon?

No... No it's not... but it's near the pentagon

Kinda... like on the metro it goes Arlington Cemetery, then the Pentagon, then Pentagon City... and there's not long between the stops...

but nobody cares about that...

I GOT RE W00T... yay...

It is goodies... although the controls are kinda bleeeh and I never had problems with them before... But it's just NGC's controller and the fact that they made the characters turn just a liiiittle bit TOO fast when running...

I didn't have any trouble getting it, neidah... I just waltzed right into da store and said "Yo foo, gotsd RE?" and dey just be like "Mmm Hmm" and I'm like "Well damn, yo, youz gotsda hook me up wit dat sh*t"

Yes,EB,Gamestop,and department stores all around have been advertising Resident Evil so much .Every weekend I opened up the ads and there it was .The thing is all the stores were saying before April30,2002 to reserve it .Unfortunately, hard to believe they sold out everywhere .So far I'm still looking .Blockbuster "s right around the corner from my house though.So I try out all their gamecube games before I buy them .I already know Resident Evil will be good I'm just making a point across it .My friend Rick works there and he'll hold it for when it gets in .I'm so lucky!

... Sold out everywhere? heh heh, like I said I just walked in and bought it without no problems

But that's just here... Also I went before school got out... before any of them young hooligans got a chance to get their copies... meh *shrugs*

I wonder what it's like at babbages and EB...

I got the game!!!!

i don't feel like scanning it (cause its not hooked up right now), but the cover is of jill being attacked by a zombie. It looks really cool.

The game itself looks amazing.

Jason1 · 05-01-2002, 05:55 PM

hmmm...I wonder if my local Wal-Mart has it in yet...

somehow I doubt it....

ghettodude · 05-01-2002, 06:07 PM

hmm... i wrote this in the other topic.. but.. what the hey.. if u are too lazy to click over there im being convenient! gamespot called it the most visually impressive game ever released

Gamer · 05-01-2002, 06:30 PM

I must agree with gamespot

Played a little bit. This game is messed up. Zombies in weird places, doors being locked and they shouldn't be, etc.

Didn't save, don't want to use that herb I had to. Played a little bit, but the game sure has changed.

Jin · 05-01-2002, 07:28 PM

I played the Japanese version at a local imported video games store a few weeks ago, so I've all ready seen the graphics. So I'm in no real rush to get the game right now.

Sigma everyone knows whathe front of the case looks like .
