Leon is the only one who has to fight her, right? I think I remember someone here pointed out that Lepotitsa is likely
a by-product of fail attempt to create Ada Wong

The attack-puff things in RE6 looked like a bunch of mutated nothing and fighting them involved shooting them and running away.
The genius of the Garrador fight was how it played with the walk/run mechanic that game had done nothing with up until that point. It was also the next logical extension to the "tactical shooting" mechanic that they introduced in that game. The first time you fight one you are introduced to it with very little fanfare. You just walk in and have to enter his cage to hit the switch. Kind of subtle, intense... awesome.
Lepotitsa is an English-language way to portray word "Lepotica" which stands for "beautiful" in Serbian language.
All Ustanak (which means "rebellion" BTW) characters are talking pretty good Serbian during the game, I wrote about it in the week when demo arrived.
"Ogroman" stands for "enormuosly big".
Just a heads up

You mean J'avo. Ustanak is the one of a kind enemy who pops in Jake's campaign.
EDIT: When will we know how much this game has sold?

That's pretty cool.
The Garrador is blind, so fighting him is the opposite of generic, and his executions are as gruesome as anything in a RE game.
Exactly.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Yes fighting one in that tiny-ass cage with bolted doors while a dozen priests flood into the room...
Oh perfect RE4. If only every other game was as perfect as you... perfection perfected.
Took me a few playthrus to realize I could just shoot the lock and get out of the cage.
700k+ in Japan is all we really know for sure. Someone said there were 1.6m players online at one point according to RE.net so I'd imagine that the game has surpassed 2m easily and maybe even 3m. American numbers are the real meat but they're a pain in the arse to know.

The thing I like best about Garrador is how he reacts to your shots so that you know whether or not you are progressing through the fight. Where's your Lepotitsa now?
(I thought the Lepotitsa fights were fine, other than not being sure I was doing it right the first time.)

Regarding a boss in the 4th campaign:
How do you beat Clara? I beat her, but I wasn't really sure what I did. I just kept shooting at her until a hole was made and I shot the blue tanks behind her. It took most of my ammo which I was pretty upset about. Is there an easier way?

I'll readily grant you that Lepotitsa is gross looking, but I think you (and Replicant) are underselling Garrador. You don't encounter him in concept art, you encounter him in a basement, in a cell, where he just sits there and you're not sure whether (or when) he's going to attack. Then he does, he's very dangerous, has distinctive and memorable sound cues (which I think are really important in games that are supposed to be scary), and you have to balance tiptoeing around without setting him off and running to get yourself into position. This is all the stuff of horror. Horror is not simply a thing that looks gross.
How is it a guy dressed up like some kind of gladiator be considered horror? Your argument basically says that he's scary because he can kill you. But so are hundreds of other monsters in RE. If the only thing that makes him scary is because he can kill you then what's the point of playing horror game? You'll get the same fear playing Gladiator-inspired game or any game where you'll die easy.
To me for a creature to be horrific, it needs to repel me on emotional and visceral level. It needs to convey its otherness in ways that no normal human can look like that. That's when it's scary to me.
You are free to throw tantrums/righteous anger but seriously, who is delusional here? What you are looking for in a horror game sounds like anything that can scare you including the possibility of being dead. That's not enough for me. Death is not that scary notion in video game considering you can restart.

The way I finally did it (which took a lot of trial and error, and is easily my least favorite fight in the entire game):
Shooting both her eyes out seems to lower her ability to regenerate her face. So you shoot her two eyes out, then shoot through her face to get at the tanks behind her.
No, not really. I had a tougher time because I didn't even realize that's what you were supposed to do.
Yeah there is a really easy and short way. When you go in shoot an explosive arrow at the tanks just before here face appears. Bam instant kill.
You've been throwing a hissy fit since the last page, not me. Try displaying some self-awareness instead of the same old superiority complex.
The ways in which the Garrador has been physically modified, and the gruesome ways he can execute Leon in RE 4 are obviously part of the horror genre, whether your obsession with grotesque monstrosities allows you to recognize it or not.
Nothing in RE games has ever been that scary, certainly not Tits McGee at the top of this page. If I want to play a scary game I'll play Fatal Frame.
The only one who keeps bringing up superiority complex is you. It's not my fault you get butthurt from something you disagree with.
Sorry but torture dismemberment/porn is genre separate from horror IMO. But I wouldn't be surprised if you called something like "Saw" as horror.
The only one "butthurt" in this thread is you anytime someone like Clairvoyance suggests that (gasp) something might have been done better in a previous RE game. Which is why you had to resort to eye rolling and calling other posters "little boys" on the last page, and are now trying to rewrite a genre definition to fit your own personal predilections.

Yup, dat ass indeed. Capcom sure knows how to make good looking female protagonists.
I also don't particularly like her. There's mysterious, and then there's just annoying. Being overly cryptic is a shit personality trait.

Which is why Jill is da bestest.
LOL, this is amusing. Why shouldn't I be eye-rolling when a thread about RE6 is suddenly turned into another how 'great' RE4 was? And when that poster couldn't take my comment, he preceeded to insult me, which I simply returned the favor. And you shouldn't be throwing stones about personal insult since you're not exactly innocent of it.
I'm hardly what you'd call RE6 defender as I have repeatedly made points on negative aspects of this game. But while doing that, I had no need to bring up how much better RE2 was unlike some RE4 fans tend to do. If you bring up how great RE4 was, then prepare to have someone who didn't like it to say it wasn't all that.
To me you're just angry that I don't like the monsters in RE4 particularly that Gladiator wannabe.

Good or bad?
ATTENTION, EVERYONE. MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE: Can both sides please quit with the strawman tactic of calling each other fanboys, and just agree to disagree when it comes to which game had the monsters they found more interesting? The fact is nobody outside of the enthusiasts really know the names of any of these monsters anyway (El Gigante is commonly referred to as "the ogre" or "Lord of the Rings troll," for example, and Rasklapanje the "regenerating meat monster"). I find the bestiaries of both games to be plenty memorable, and their names are all fine and derived from the language common in that game (Spanish in one, Serbian in the other), so let's just celebrate the great monster variety this series gives us in general. Peace.

Well, you have a point, so many games up until 2005 were pitting the player against enemies with their eyes sewn shut that attack based only on sound or by swinging wildly into the void. I can see why you were sick of it by that point. It's neither inspired nor sophisticated. What games need are more inspired, mutated blobs that attack you and run away. You know, sophisticated design and inspired horror.
Bad mostly. Goes on for way too long and it takes place in mostly tight spaces which makes the fight ten times more annoying.
There are so many cool ideas in this game but Capcom just doesn't have the designers anymore to execute most of them.

This.
Would be nice to have the discussion be about the game again rather than arguing about enemy names.
To be fair, the basic enemies of RE6 have four mutations per limb and head and torso, and these mutations can stack (so pincer-head, jumpy legs and tentacle arm, for example), and this makes for probably some of the most diverse and tactics-changing adversaries in a game, made most evident in Mercs but also in plenty of scenarios during the campaign (the

No. Is this is relevant? If so, why?
Many enemies in that game attacks based on what they hear. Similar to that guy in RE4. Which is why the novelty wasn't as strong for me and unlike in Clock Tower, the environment in RE4 just doesn't support the frightening idea of serial killer wielding big weapon. Dressing up as Gladiator doesn't help either.

I don't think so, I tried to grenade it when I played that level but it didn't do anything.

I think we can all agree that RE5 had the least variety in monster designs. Too many were just writhing masses of tentacles and black goop.
Also, the Garrador itself wasn't very scary looking to me, but the fight was much more fun. Lepo is basically shoot and try to stay away.

All you have to do is
shoot her in the mouth a few times with the bomb arrows. It leaves an enormous hole. Then just shoot the tanks. It took less than a minute even in Professional.

The modern REs all have gems in their creature collections, and RE5 is no exception. I like the Uroboros -- still can't wrap my head around how they animated all those writhing tentacles! The one Excella turns into that you fry with the satellite laser was especially awe-inspiring.

But it looked like squiggly oil-coated genitals
I did like the Bat-scorpion thing and the giant enemy crab-spider though.
Your response prior to this doesn't exactly scream maturity to me. Neither was that guy's. I just respond in ways that other responds to me. It may not be mature of me but at least I'm not calling others for being immature while doing so myself.
I think shooting
the eyes help to stop the regeration speed of her face. But yeah the bomb arrows do quick damage of her face and then I'd just snipe the canister as soon as enough hole is visible
