Hi everyone,

My name is Jhuan and I live in Brazil. I am a longtime member of this sub, but haven't being asking for games here for a looong time. Today is the release day of Resident Evil 4 Remake, and sadly I can't buy it, for two motives I will list below. Also, I will write a little about how Resident Evil is so important to me ;)

• Why I want RE4 Remake, and why I love Resident Evil so much?

Everything started in 2006, when I was introduced to gaming by my father. I liked watching him playing his PS1 and PS2 games. The first game I watched him play was Resident Evil 2 on PS1, and I consider that one my first game ever. Being a kid, I couldn't finish all games by myself, but my father helped me a lot. Together, we played RE1 and RE2 on PS1, and in 2007 we got a Xbox 360 with RE4 and RE5.

Resident Evil was part of my childhood, and it is till today my favorite game series ever. I played all games from RE0 to RE8 Village (original and remade original trilogy), plus Revelations 1 and 2, Operation Raccoon City, Code Veronica, Dead Aim and Outbreak File #1 and File #2, even Resistance and ReVerse lol. Also, I watched all CGI movies, from Degeneration to Infinite Darkness (watched Milla's movies when I was younger, but didn't like it so much). Resident Evil is the only big franchise (in terms of numerous titles) that I have played almost all games, and I just love all of them.

I have recently played for the first time RE Code Veronica, because of all the hype for a possible Remake. And I just loved it. The characters, gameplay, story and specially the music. Code Veronica has the best OST ever. I really liked enemies and bosses designs too. I recommend it for everyone who hasn't played it yet, and like old RE games and it's used to tank controls.

I have got all achievements for RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake and RE4 on Steam, also, for RE5, Revelations 1 and 2 on Xbox 360, and I am on my way to get all of them for Steam rn (I'm working in RE5 and 6 now).

Well, I just love those games, I love the lore of each one of them. Gaming means Resident Evil for me, since it was my first game series, and my most played series ever.

Resident Evil was very important to me because I met my best friend in RE6. After years of playing RE4, 5 and 6 on Xbox 360, when I got those games on Steam, I found a Steam Group server with a lot of people trying to find players for matchmaking. That's when I first met my friend. Since then, we played tons of hours of RE5, RE6, Revelations 1 and 2 Raid mode and even Resistance and ReVerse. We also played other games, like CSGO, Borderlands 2 and Minecraft. But we always come back to Resident Evil. We love to discuss about RE lore, and when a new trailer drops, we talk about it for hours lol.

Shortening, I play Resident Evil since I was a kid, being introduced to it by my father. I have played almost all games and watched all movies (and memorized all the lines lol). I have met my best friend because of Resident Evil and I play a lot of RE5 and 6 till today with him.

• Why I can't buy it?

Well, RE4 Remake was cheaper than what it is now, in my country. When it was on pre-order, it was BRL200, now it is BRL250. I am on the college now, having to buying a lot of books and instruments for my course, and I am really short on money. I have being able to buy and play almost all Resident Evil games at release, untill RE2 Remake, when I got short on money, and then started to have to wait months to get into the game. The worse thing are spoiler, yeah, I know I played the original game, but I want to re-experience it all over again, as it was a new game. If I could get RE4 gifted to me, it would be an amazing help for my studies, since I could use all money I have right to buy the needed books, and wouldn't have to wait like one year to buy the game.

Shortening, I can't buy it for two motives: 1 - Don't have money to buy my books AND the game rn / 2- The price change made it even harder for me to buy it.

Go check my games and add me if you wish to play something, I am always at your disposal.

I don't like to ask for expensive games, specially at release, but I am dying inside, I just want to play it!!!

English isn't my first language, so maybe I have committed one or two crimes against correct grammar lol. But I think you can understand me just as fine.

I think that's it. I love RE and I wish I could play RE4 Remake right now, but I have other priorities so it would mean a lot for me. Thank you for reading, wish you a good day :)
