Tips on How to get Adept Nemesis achievement/trophy

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, yesterday I finally bought the new Resident Evil characters. I got lucky with my first match as Nemesis. I recall a lot of people are saying Adept Nemesis is one of the easiest Adept Killer achievements. I am here to tell how truth that actually is. I will say before we get started, I loved how they went about the character here.

You already know my previous advices that applies to every killer. Why kept being a broken record if you already know them by heart at this point. Personally, I recommend attempting this at lower ranks with majority of score as close to being maxed out. Of course having majority being maxed out helps when one survivor escapes because you'll still likely get any Adept Killer achievement/trophy.

Nemesis isn't alone in matches making things kinda interesting. By default there's two AI zombies roaming around the map. They do help point you in the right direction of a survivor. They can actually go right into another attack without delay. However they're not bright making them easy to get pallets dropped.

If a survivor goes into a locker close by while one of the zombies following them. They will lose track of that survivor. Nemesis is one of those 3 tiers killers. But he is also one of the easiest to get to tier 3. You will notice changes to Nemesis' left arm as you go up a tier as well as your tentacle attack increases in range.

Like tier 2 allows Nemesis to break pallets as well as breakable walls with his tentacle attack. Which is faster animation than the usual breaking em animation. Funny enough, Nemesis also can throw punches at survivors. He also can down zombies with both his attacks. It actually helps filling up his tier system. Which means if you go a little while not running into survivors.

You can always see where a zombie is on the map to attack em for more process on his tier system. Nemesis is surprisingly fast for a killer in this game. I should point out his tentacle attack can work around looping. Like Nemesis could destroy a pallet if a survivor isn't going to use it or hit them directly. Yeah Nemesis can use his tentacle to attack above the pallet fast enough to hit an survivor.

Keep in mind, how his tentacle strike works can be a little deceiving. I'm not saying it sucks because it doesn't. Nemesis uses that attack it is possible either by him moving a little to either direction to hit an survivor. This also means an survivor could end up indirectly more in the path of that attack. Both this attack and zombies can infect the survivors.

Unlike The Plague, the vaccine is in short supply. If too many of them are used up, they're gone for reminder of the match. Now suddenly there's more to consider as a survivor going against Nemesis. Nemesis actually has some useful perks. Lethal Pursuer is used at the beginning of a match. It allows the killer for a few seconds see where all the survivors are on the map.

Sometimes knowing where they start can help you out. Hysteria helps slow down injured survivors for a little while. I think everyone can agree Eruption is Nemesis' best perk here. When you down an survivor, every affected generator will explode to start regressing. This by itself can occur often to slow down survivors during an match.

Oh wait there's more Eruption also applies an immediate 6% Progression penalty. Any survivor repairing a generator when it explodes will scream then suffer from incapacitated status for a little while. This by itself makes downing them during that period a bit easier. Now this is what I call a good way to throw survivors off their game.

Survivors can use stuff like Flashlights to blind zombies. Zombies will respawn a lot faster if Nemesis downed them than a survivor. Of course, Nemesis mostly got some great add-ons. Some of which does also affect the zombies too. There's a ridiculous Ultra Rare Offering where every time an generator gets done.

For thirty seconds, the zombies will become ridiculously faster. Now considering this might be used against a group of gen rushers, this is a mixed bag for both sides. Keep in mind, the infected survivors can see the vaccine locations while Nemesis can't. However a good add-on set up can help make the difference here.

Now because this is Nemesis from Resident Evil series. I want to announce an upcoming Nemesis & Jill comparison blogs. I won't spoil much about that but I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. I felt some people might be interested hearing my thoughts on those.

I personally want to say Nemesis quickly become one of my favorite killers in this. One of a very few killers to not be alone when hunting the survivors. I felt the Dead by Daylight team did an amazing job bringing such an monster into their game. Honestly, Nemesis is one of the best licensed killer characters in the game without question.

Jack Red reviews Resident Evil Village

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I wanted to point out I'm only reviewing the main game for now. I do plan on coming back to talk about The Mercenaries and DLCs. For the present, I already got my hands full of this greatness. I am not going to lie, this game is truly amazing. Easily one of the finest Resident Evil games I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

Resident Evil Village is essentially Resident Evil 8. Although, parts of it's theme is strikingly similar to Van Helsing, Castlevania and a few other things. You play as Ethan Winters, yes the same guy from the main campaign of RE7 to search for his daughter. This does have some strong similarities to RE4 in a lot of ways.

You hunt down the four lords of this village. Which kinda like in Mega Man series, you hunt the main enemy group before taking on their leader. I will try not to spoil too much in my review. I will confirm this is way better than both RE7 and RE3 Remake. I still personally think RE2 Remake is better. But not by much, this game really brought it.

Resident Evil Village has werewolves that are this game's Hunters in a sense. I also liked each major section has their own theme to help differ them from each other. I also loved you can explore most of the time to get more supplies, money and other cool things. Yes, the campaign is notably longer than RE7's. I felt the characters this time around are very rememberable.

Ever since RE4, we finally have a worthy competitor for the best inventory of the series. I absolutely loved how much stuff you can stock up in this. You also get great maps that takes some time to memorize. The boss fights are more amazing stuff this time around. My favorite being Heisenberg's, wow that was insane.

There's a lot of additional stuff to get after you unlock em. Which includes most weapons can become infinite. I really felt everything works beautifully with this game. This is worthy of a main series RE game without question. This is how you made a long RE game yet keeps you going for hours without burning out.

Some would say this is how RE6 should've been done lol. Ethan feels more important to the plot than he previously did. I do like we not only have more puzzles. Some of them are some of the finest more recently as well. Of course, I have to talk about our merchant himself The Duke. This guy when I originally saw him from trailers didn't know what to think of him.

He quickly grew on me like the merchant in RE4. I would even say I might actually like this guy more. He is funny in his own unexpected way. He does have a line referring that merchant too. This feature is beautifully done here. Resident Evil Village is what many would consider to be perfection. This is not only an Resident Evil game but also one you can't confuse with anything else.

This game is in all honesty very good easily around 9.5 where it stands. Keep in mind, I still haven't got to play The Mercenaries with no modes got added through DLCs yet. So you know this game can hold it's own without those. I would even dare to say this game is how you should make a sequel properly. They took what made RE7 a success than added the right touches to make it even better than ever before.

I honestly don't have any real problems with this game. I loved everything about this game. They went out of their way taking major risks yet somehow pulled it off. I am deeply very impressed with their work. Resident Evil Village is likely going to win several Game of the Year awards. I wouldn't be more surprised than it got more than both RE7 and RE2 Remake combined.

Resident Evil Village is something you shouldn't take people's word to wanna try. You should go straight in & enjoy yourself. Trust me, you won't regret it. This game will keep you busy while keeping it unique. This is how you properly updated an classic survivor horror franchise to modern standards. This will blow people away even before they get to press the start button, it's really that damn good.

Tips on How to get Adept Blight achievement/trophy

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, today I was hard at work getting Adept Blight achievement. I will be honest, most of them weren't great lol. But I had two decent Blight matches in my following stream. I do have tips how to improve your chances at getting this achievement. I just don't want to repeat the tips that applies to every killer in the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAOxDesDPsA

The Blight is a rather unusual style killer. He prefers to bounce against parts of the map like a hard rubber ball. It is a similar mechanic The Legion has towards survivors but against the map instead. In my opinion, the more fun out of the two. This makes getting the points for using his power a lot easier than most killers.

Keep in mind, you need to correctly hit parts of the map in order to bounce. You can continue to move forward or quickly bounce against parts of the map to continue your speed boost. I should point out after one bounce, you can go for a strike at survivor. He can bounce destroy fallen pallets no lie. He works best on maps with many parts of it in the way.

Which is the direct opposite for many killers. He can quickly caught up even out move survivors. It is just tricky to pull that mechanic off sometimes. Of course, you have add-ons to help make parts of his power easier. You will quickly get use to how to strike survivors. It's everything else that makes him a notable learning curve.

Sadly, he only has one perk worth mentioning. Which will prevent survivors from dropping pallets during chases. The Blight is like a pinball of death. He can quickly cover a lot of ground during matches. I would even say he's one of the fastest killers in the game. This guy can still be looped just one of the trickier killers to loop in general.

Overall, I enjoy being the character but he isn't my favorite killer. I will give credit to his appearance as well as his concept. He can be fun at times but compared to a lot of killers, he's more in the middle for me. The Blight can be tricky to pull off but it can be satisfying to down someone during a chase. I do recommend people give him a try since I highly doubt their competition will have someone like this.

Tips on How to get Adept Trickster achievement/trophy

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, a little while ago I gotten Adept Trickster achievement. To be honest, this guy quickly got my attention even before I knew his story. Honestly, I am happy DbD went more outside the box with a character like this. To clarify, they have some interesting original characters on both sides. I meant, this guy is not only true to his name but one of the most addicting killers to play as.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2cX9YolEiI

Some add-ons will make parts of this easier. Same with having his perks up to tier 3, when I done this they weren't. The Trickster is surprisingly effective when it comes to looping situations. You can rapidly throw knives with the default amount being sixty knives. Like The Huntress, to reload simply open a locker that doesn't have a survivor.

It is possible to hit survivors at particular angles while throwing those knives. It is also possible to trick them getting away from loop spots or indirectly at a spot you can hit em with your bat. He also has an ability to greatly increase the rate he throws knives. If you hit the survivors with enough knives, they'll be down.

He works best in maps you can see the survivors easier. Keep in mind, the knives will be blocked by walls or dropped pallets. Thankfully, he can throw em above the pallets to land hits on the survivors. You would be surprised at the distance he can throw em too. I would say he's much better to me than The Huntress & The Clown.

The Trickster is amazing in the right hands. He potentially can hold his own against great teams. I liked the controls for using his attacks in general. He isn't hard to learn at all just takes time getting use to throwing the knives. It took me a little bit to get use to how he swings his bat. Which does have a notable range to hit survivors as well.

Overall, this guy is one of my favorite killers they created in the game. Yeah he doesn't appear to be scary but his back story is pretty mess up stuff. Also, his mechanics are interesting enough to get many people to give him a try. Honestly, simply throwing the knives is addicting as well as being very easy. This guy is well around with no major changes needed to improve him, to me he's done just right for this.


Tips on How to get Adept Twins achievement/trophy

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I recently slowly gotten back into Dead by Daylight. Following the full Resident Evil Chapter announcement. So yesterday I bought all the characters I was missing. Basically after The Blight & Felix not many characters. I already gotten last night, Adept Twins in a match. I will do my best to explain how to get but also I don't want to fully repeat a lot of stuff already said previously.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Sv44558CE

Right off the bat, my first tip for them is move a little to release Victor. He can move faster than most killers in this game. He is perfect for helping to spot the survivors especially late into a game. Keep in mind, he attacking or missing will temporary make him vulnerable to get stomp by the survivors. Thankfully, you don't need to wait long in using him again.

Also getting stun by pallets is the same effect to him. If you do it right, Victor actually can jump over pallets to surprise survivors. He also can down em if given the chance. If you choose to do his jumping attack, I recommend quickly rushing over to where he's at to attack that survivor he's on. Victor isn't effected by anything that applies to his sister in matches.

To clarify, perks, add-ons and offerings doesn't apply to him. You can switch between the two characters. I also liked both of them have moris as well. The Twins may come off as confusing at first. But if you had prior experience to similar things like Resident Evil 0. Then you should quickly understand how they work.

Victor can do a small distance especially when the survivors are very close. This is 50/50 if he lands the attack or not. Simply having two characters on the map allows you to search faster. Keep in mind, Charlotte can damage generators as well as hook survivors. Her brother is sadly unable to do both during matches.

There isn't much else to say other than the stuff you heard many times before. I will say The Twins is one of the more interesting to play as since it's two playable characters in one match. I do recommend giving them a try, not a lot of people are into them it seems. Personally, Victor quickly became my favorite twin out of the two.

My thoughts on Dead by Daylight Resident Evil Chapter

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, sorry due to something personal on my end. I took a little longer than expected. I can promise you that I got a lot to say about the announcement trailer as well as game play footage. Many of you already know I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. You likely knew this was coming.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PeJ_fEfMdk

This video was my final guesses prior to the official announcement. As you can see I did call Leon & Nemesis was coming to the game. I also did predict two survivors was coming as well. There's a chance I also predicted some of the Legacy outfits coming to the game as well. Honestly, I am very happy with their choices here.

They chose two great survivor characters with one of the finest villain characters from the franchise. I felt most of the new perks would make the game more interesting. I do like Nemesis can use his tentacle or fist during matches. I actually loved his mori in the game, one of my favorites among licensed killer characters.

The new map was a great choice. It might be a little too big for some people though. Based on what I seen, it's way better than Silent Hill's map. I also liked Nemesis has zombies to help him out. In a weird way it's like The Twins. Except you can't control the zombies at all. Not a problem in Resident Evil: Resistance.

I felt they done an amazing job bringing Resident Evil to their universe. Sadly by doing so, it does limit some possibilities since two of the biggest horror game franchises are now present. Keep in mind, most DbD fans didn't even know Silent Hill series at the time of that chapter's announcement. This is a huge year for Resident Evil series.

Even if this turned out to be the only licensed chapter of the year. They already added a new licensed costume set for a few killers. Which is more than last year's. Honestly I am excited to give all three of them a try in the near future. I still don't think Jill or Nemesis will be as fun as in Resistance though.

I do think this is one of the best chapters in the game without question. Dead by Daylight quickly became one of the biggest horror games in the world just a few years alone. I may be very upset Silent Hill now cross over with Resident Evil officially because of them. But I did felt both of them in their own right does deserve to be there as well.

Jack Red reviews two Mortal Kombat movies

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I recently seen through HBO Max thanks to my brother. Two more recent Mortal Kombat movies. I will start the review with Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge since it came out first also because Scorpion is my favorite MK character. I will say this right off the bat, I absolutely love both these movies.

1. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (2020)

This is technically the second animated Mortal Kombat movie but third overall because of the cartoon show. This quickly blows both Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins & Defenders of the Realm away. For starters, the animation alone is way better. They didn't hold back on the amount of violence either. I felt every character was much better represented.

The movie is sorta like what they attempted many years ago with the game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. Both their concepts centers on a popular MK character's origin stories. I can safely say this is way better than that horrible game. The voice acting is good enough to get pass. The logo surprise was one of my favorite things about the movie.

This follows Scorpion's death that led to him eventually getting even with his family's murder. This plot twist was from the games of course. Obviously, the tournament wasn't a major part of Scorpion's story. Yeah he won a few matches as well as stolen a victory in another match he wasn't even a fighter in. One of the sickest kills in the entire movie.

I do liked how they went about parts of the tournament we do get to see. It's just not as fun to watch as the original 1995 movie. I'm not saying they're boring because they aren't. You just want have such moments like Cage punching Goro in the balls lol. Oh come on you knew that was coming. I am also not saying they play it safe because this movie clearly didn't.

I absolutely loved how menacing Netherrealm looked as well. Just notice I'm saying a handful of stuff that happens since it's not that old of a movie. Honestly, I would rewatch this movie again. We needed another decent MK movie after the abomination that was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. One particular character I may have to reference again is mostly a cameo here.

I felt every character looked great for this. I was very happy how this movie played out from the beginning. This is how you do a proper animated take on the concept. Mortal Kombat is one of the biggest game franchises in the world. I do recommend this movie especially if you love Scorpion as much as I do.

2. Mortal Kombat (2021)

Alright you waited long enough let's get to it. Mortal Kombat is more of it's own unique take on the concept. Due to a major twist late into the movie, a lot of people simply don't like it as much as the 1995 movie. Oh trust me there's a few other reasons including a particular character. But end of the day, I respected both those movies for giving us a different take on the same concept.

Honestly, they did a decent job with some characters while characters doesn't have much going for them other than a few moments that's it. I won't fully spoil every character that appears in this. Simply because that's very rude to anyone who really wants to see this movie. I will tell you a handful of them did surprise me to even be in the movie.

If you seen some of the memes, Nitara is in the movie. Great how did she get in both recent MK movies is beyond me. But she has more rememberable scenes this time around. I do like most of the cast in this movie especially Kano. Oh you also knew this was coming. Out of respect for the actor who passed away from the 1995 movie's take of the character.

I do respect both actor's portrayal of the character. I ended up preferring the newer one a lot more. He does steal the show with some of the funniest lines ever in anything MK. Like season 2 of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, they do bring back that concept how they're able to do their powers. But they also added another concept I quickly became a fan of.

I won't spoil that but it will make a lot more sense than well you're chosen lol. They added a new character Cole whose essentially this movie's Shujinko. Shujinko was an attempt by the developers to giving us a replacement for Liu Kang who was the main hero of the series. Not to be rude to the actor who plays Liu Kang in this movie, if you seen the trailers you already knew he's in the movie.

I kinda felt Robin Shou who played the character in two movies was much more what I expected here. I felt most of the cast does a great job representing their characters well. I kinda felt a handful of them was slightly done better in season 1 of Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Yes, there's a couple fatalities again I won't spoil which ones.

I am so happy we got fan service with that. Scorpion was done beautifully in this movie. He came off more menacing than I expected. Considering the internet already spoiled the big surprise. I guess I'll talk a little on that. Most of the movie was before the actual tournament. Which means the next movie is the tournament.

This by itself turn a lot of people off. But you got to consider stuff like how Outworld tries to cheat. Also they didn't officially start the tournament but rather getting ready for it. Therefore, this would give the writers more room in the sequel to work with. Personally, I became fine with this because a couple takes on the concept does start fully with a tournament.

You usually don't get to see the matches before the actual tournament. So it was interesting, we got to see that to a degree here. Also, I am glad they aren't going to rush in the tournament to try making people happy. When in truth, it could've ruined the movie itself if they done so. Not to mention, a lot of characters died in this movie.

Which likely angered some people who were huge fan of those characters as well. Now knowing they might not return or maybe in a way they didn't expect. Honestly, it's just a movie don't take that personally people. This movie does stay very true to the mythology this franchise was built on. They made it clear, they don't want to rush something unique like this.

I do understand why some people prefer the 1995 movie over this. In terms of Sonya Blade, I kinda agree slightly the original actress. Technically the replacement of the original actress did nail parts of the character a bit better. But I do respect both their performances over the actress in Annihilation, that's not Sonya!!!

Which is technically worse than the actress from Defenders of the Realm show & The Journey Begins. I do agree Goro looks better but I still kinda prefer the 1995 movie Goro more. Again that unexpected low blow by Cage, easily one of the funniest moments of that movie. Most of the fight scenes are well done in my opinion.

This really felt like a true representation of the franchise. I also loved they started with Scorpion early on. Raiden comes off more strict than you would expect. I would say as more of a representation of the newer Raiden character, he does a great job. I still prefer the 1995 movie Raiden a bit more. Yeah he had a few lines that were alright.

Let's be honest, he nailed the character so well. Most actors in other forms of media doesn't even come close to those two actors at all. Yes, they do show Outworld to the degree. I just felt the way they shown it late into the 1995 movie simply stands out a bit more. I didn't say I didn't like it because I do. Honestly, I do prefer the 1995 movie Shang Tsung as well.

In his defense, the new actor does a decent job being the character. It's just difficult to be even mention to that guy's performance or those in MK11's Story Mode for that matter. Obviously I'm talking about the dlc portion of it. Both movies has a great soundtrack, I just felt the 1995 movie especially the theme songs knocks it out the park.

Honestly, I do recommend this movie a lot. Any MK fan needs to drop what they're doing to watch it now. Right now, you can go to a movie theater or get an HBO Max account to watch it. I prefer the later since you can take as many breaks as needed plus you can rewatch it all you want. This movie is well done video game movies wise.

Out of respect however, I do kinda prefer the Sonic movie since it's even more it's own thing. Thus, it can bring in it's own crazy possibilities. I will say this is one of the absolute best I ever seen. I do prefer this over the 1995 movie in a few ways. Even with things I do prefer from that movie more. Regardless, it's way better than both live action Tekken movies, both live action Street Fighter movies and Dead or Alive movie.
