Players Choose Leon Over Claire During First Play of ‘Resident Evil 2’, According to Global Stats
So, Harrison posed the question of which character’s campaign Resident Evil 2 players preferred. And while that’s obviously subjective, the recent global stats for the game reveal a bit more objective findings.
For starters 80% of first-time players choose Leon over Claire. The site also breaks down the cumulative amount of time players have spent playing the game, with over 6100 years spent so far. Players have also walked/ran over 147 million kilometers in the game, and have killed over 615 million enemies.
There are also some weird stats, such as the amount of people that have stared at the mayor’s daughter’s body, or the weighted amount of items that have been discarded by players. There’s also a section that’s been locked on the site that players (once you register on Capcom’s site) can only access once they’ve “fulfilled the necessary conditions” in the game (which I obviously haven’t done).
It also makes you wonder if at a certain point, these stats will trigger a new free DLC to be released. Or, that could all just be me with my tinfoil hat.
Resident Evil 2 is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
