Honestly, at around chapter 8 I'm enjoying this game more than I enjoyed RE5's singleplayer. It shows that Capcom actually still knows how to make an RE game in the older adventure game style without tank controls. They're just figuring out where to balance things. Surprisingly it feels the most similar to RE1 with a bit of RE5's mechanics.

The one thing I really don't like is how they kinda just threw away Hunters. Those guys were some of the most feared normal enemies in the older games, and now you just mow through tons of them.

I usually disagree with others takes on games like this as it seems they ar trying to find flaws more than experiencing them but Hunters have become so pedestrian in this game.

I love killing them but they aren't creepy anymore, they're like Doom monsters.

They need to reach down and bring back crazy scary shit like the Crimson Heads.

With that said, the series with this game is certainly headed in the right direction after what seemed to be a huge action-fest in 5.

If 6 is a mix like Revelations, it'll be fine with me, I'm not expecting all out creepy survival horror due to what the bro-nation of gamers want.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Cool, I can see where you are coming from in regards to no move shoot, what about if Capcom did an option like a remix mode? so you can have original or move shoot. ..

yes I agree more original Resi games for 3DS is only a good thing, so long as they are no onrails shooters, hell rumour has it Capcom even had 5 running on the 3DS so the lack of power leading to onrails is out the question now. More original Resi 3DS games please.

Well if they did that they would have to change elements of the game design e.g. more enemies to compensate for the ability to move. It would fundamentally alter the risk/reward dynamic e.g. "do I stop to shoot or run". That was an intrinsic part of the game design. RE4 is such a magnificent game as it stands I am not sure I would want them to mess with the formula. I would rather they continue the direction they are going a la Revelaitons since they are convinced they need to be more "accessible" for the modern gamer. Oh and as much as I enjoyed the on-rails Wii RE games [the first far more than the second] I too hope we get more full RE games like Revelaitons on the 3DS .

Is it a waste to play through as many Raid modes as possible solo while waiting for someone to get the game???

Will that ruin the experience???

Not for me but I haven't co-op'd Raid mode at all yet. Only up to stage 6 in Raid so far but already I can tell that it is likely that I will end up loving it more than the Campaign mode. Since I am on my second playthrough of that I think that expresses how favourably I feel towards the Raid mode quite nicely.

If you haven't already please give Raid mode a try on Solo and see how you take to it. If you hate it solo you can switch to doing it co-op easily enough. If you start with the first stage it is a relatively gentle introduction to it to give you a hang of how it works. However I find it so enjoyable I have re-played that stage several times, just for fun .

So in this thread, we concur Parker is fucking awesome, he went from "who the fuck is that??" "not a crappy New character" to "He's the fucking man/Boss"

what is the percentage?


Though Quint had the quote of the Game

I love Parker and the comedy duo of the geek and the brother. I even like 'the bitch' because she is a sexually confident female, which makes a nice change in the video games I tend to play. I would happily kill her [in a game] if given the chance though . I even don't mind Raymond but that is mostly because

he helped Parker and I suspect he is a double double agent!

Nah, already played about 6 levels solo of Raid and like it as much as the rest of you and while I can see myself replaying it a lot(I already replay those 6 levels, nothing beyond), I wonder if it won't be as fresh or exciting if I do them all(or however many I can due to the difficulty it probably gets later on with one player only) by myself.

Part of that is me never playing a co-op online game before and always wanting to.

I just wondered if it's replayable enough to do a lot of it solo and then go back to it with a friend.

Good man .

I've never co-op'd online either and have only ever played a few MK DS games online IIRC.

I intend to do the same as you i.e. play as much as I can of it Solo before turning to online co-op. I would imagine that co-op would change the gameplay experience quite enough to overcome any over-familiarity so I'm not worried about that aspect. Time will tell though .

Don't believe so. Granted I blasted that bitch back with a rocket launcher right near the exit. Don't think she leaves that room though besides you are a room away from the end of the chapter. So even if you she does appear again you can make it to the next room which initiates a cutscene and the end of the chapter.

I just practiced my dodging skills especially when that May Day monster blocks the staircase while Rachel is running after you. I ran by May Day monster, picked up the rocket launcher turned around to see Rachel and blasted her when she was right in front of me and then ran. It really sucked though because I didn't have anymore machine gun ammo and I didn't have the Shotgun on me so all I was stuck with was the rifle which was hard to deal with Rachel and May Day monster and others all in the room at once.

I just kept going because I was very short of time [but still ran out of time and died]. So she seems to stalk you on that stage whether you run from her or not. I think .

It's like using the Master Ball in Pokemon before the ultimate legendary. The first time I played Pokemon Red I used it on a Doduo, I didn't know I wasn't getting another one.

List of times you encounter the monster in question (normal mode):

Spoiler

Episode 4 - Required boss fight. The first time you chase her away, try scanning...I found the part Long Magazine 2 at the location where she ran from.

Episode 7, part 1 - On the way to the UAV, which is not timed even though they act as if you are under a time constraint. There are a couple routes you can take, if you go there through the Promenade you won't encounter Rachel, she's in the halls/rooms part of the ship. I believe I met her in the library on the first floor, but I hear she might be in other areas (or is able to follow you after you meet her again). Killing her gets you the illegal custom part Burst 4.

Episode 7 part 2 - In the later section of the timed part. In normal mode it starts you with 2 minutes from the save point, in hard you get 1 minute. There really isn't time to deal with her other than with high powered magnums on your second run through the game or using the rocket you find in the room, which I really don't advise using so lightly. If you kill her here you get the illegal custom part Bind 2.

Episode 10, part 1 - When playing as Parker. Again you have a couple choices on how to proceed, and Rachel is not on the Promenade, but in the normal room areas. I encountered her in the small museum-looking room with broken display cases, but again I think you can encounter her elsewhere too. It's a good idea to use the exploding ooze to deal extra damage to her, if you can...if you kill her here you get the illegal custom part Burst 6, which is incredible.

Basically whenever you are given the choice, do not go through the Promenade. It is only a place of sorrow and bitter tears.

Spoiler

And billions of ammo-wasting ooze and hunters later on.

This is even true of Raid Mode!

Perhaps they are Lv 50 but selected to play at Lv 1 for some reason? Perhaps there is an exploit they are using in this way? *shrugs*

Incidentally, I played Raid mode stage number 8 for the first time tonight and found it really creepy. In a good way though .

 

[UncleSporky]

According to GameFAQs:

It's because of missions you can get once you've reached very late levels called infection missions, and to complete them you have to play with a certain number of other people with the same mission. The fastest way to do it is to go to ghost ship and smash the first medal to finish straight away, then leave the game, go to another one, rinse and repeat till you have your lvl 50 legendary or whatever. I agree trying to get a normal game on ghost ship can be difficult, but those infection missions would be a pain in the ass without this handy little shortcut.

Sucks.

By the way, everyone talking about Ghost Ship...is that Abyss Ghost Ship, or Ghost Ship on any difficulty? Even in easy mode, Ghost Ship is nasty?

Ghost Ship only has one difficulty level. It exists separately.
