Having royally failed in their attempt to get Wyld Stallyns off the ground despite their journey of time travel telling them otherwise (and depressed because they still haven't figured out a way to contact Rufus and chew him out), Bill and Ted wander the land searching for gigs, in the vain hope that they will still someday make it big.

Their hopes were peaked during a short layover in Raccoon City when the crowed at the run-down bar they were playing at began to surge the stage. But their dreams were dashed once again when they realized that the crowd was less interested in praising them and more interested in gnawing on their drummer's femur.

Separated from Bill during their radical escape, Ted takes up arms with what's left of the local police force and begins his own private journey in search of his friend....

I've been on the lookout for a decently priced RE bundle on eBay for a while now. I wanted to get the PS4 games that I don't already own. Last week, I saw a bundle for Origins, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (PS5 deluxe version sealed) for $120 so I jumped on it. I've been sitting on Code Veronica X for a while now and haven't played it.

I've got 2 weeks of vacation booked for this month so I don't lose them come July 1. I'm thinking I'm going to binge my way through as many of these as possible.

That's an awesome deal for all those games. Enjoy the vacation time and the binging!

Last year I played through RE 2 on the PS1 in one weekend and had a great time with that game. I never owned RE 3 on the PS1 or Code Veronica on the DC, so I went out and grabbed those. Looking forward to playing them later in the year. From the older games, I'm just missing RE 4 now but have been debating what console to grab it on.

There are certainly a lot of choices there! If you want to go retro to play on a CRT I'd go with PS2 since has content that the GameCube version doesn't have. If you want an HD version, get it for your most powerful Xbox or PlayStation console. If you want it portable, the Switch port is the obvious choice. I understand the Wii port makes good use of motion controls if that is your thing.

I finished Code Veronica X last week. I definitely understand why it was originally supposed to be Resident Evil 3. It definitely feels more like a continuation of 2 where Nemesis feels like a side story. I'm working on 4 now but progress is slow because I have to play it when the little ones aren't around.

Appreciate the input and breakdown on the different versions of RE4! I was aware there were a lot of ports, but I didn't know the differences between each, so this really helps.

I usually do my gaming on a CRT and have both a Gamecube and PS2. I'll most likely pick up the PS2 version, as I didn't realize there was extra content not included in the Gamecube version.
