Are you saying that the Red9 or the Blacktail is good for crowd control?
I never had an issue with crowd control. That's what invincible roundhouse kicks are for. If it's really troublesome, a single shotgun shell can clear some elbowroom.

i've just realised something... i've never tried attacking the plaga with anything but the knife. do flash grenades hurt it?Curufinwe said:

im saying any weapon that does more damage per shot, rather than more shots per second, seems to help me out more often than not in situations where a group of ganados get to close to me. i'll end up actually killing some, if not all, of them instead of slowing them down or making them run at me.
if they get close my aim gets loose because im afraid to miss and die, so i aim for the torso and if using a high powered weapon i will still do a lot of damage- possibly killing them.

I am going through this game while being cheap as possible. I am trying to see if I can get past the village with only the standard hand gun and shot gun with limited upgrades. First time I didn't buy the first sniper rifle in the village.
<3 this fucking game. So many different ways to play and beat each section. Gears 3 really seems so primitive in comparassion where you are only given a select handful of weapons, no special ways to stratagise in battle. Its just hide and shoot. I love how I can pick apart each enemy in RE4.

Agreed. I don't like the Red 9 that much. I find it uses up too much ammo.

I always upgrade the Punisher and Blacktail and never mess with the Red9. I use the Blacktail primarily and the Punisher only when there are large groups of enemies.
The Red9 is ugly, takes up too much space, and does not make me feel like a badass. It makes me feel like a Nazi.

I find that the firing speed of the Blacktail supercedes the power of the Red9, for me at least. (I also think it looks cooler 
) I primarily use the Black, but only resort to the 9 when Im doing an initial Pro run.
For my NG+, Im gonna do a run using the Minethrower, TMP, and Matilda. Not shotty or rifle. Should be interesting!

The people who like the Blacktail over the Red 9 make me physically angry. I'll find you all.

Weird, I just realised I have never seen the Minethrower ammo or actually used the Minethrower.

More like: Use the Blacktail if you like pew pew pewing into groups inefficiently.
Use the Red9 if you're calculating and like your bullets packing a punch.
I always have tons of ammo left over, but the OCD part of me forces me to still take out enemies in the most efficient ways possible. Always handgun, kick, knife slash. It pretty much takes me only a few handgun bullets to take out a group.
Anyway, Red9 reload animation is sexy. I'd use the gun for that alone. Blacktail's... eh. Just another pistol.

You don't really to upgrade at all. Especially if you are fairly good at head shot/melee or leg shot/knife. You could also grab the ever so-controversial TMP for $10,000. TMP is amazing in some situations, basically worthless in others. That is one of the great things about RE4, there are so many ways to effectively get through areas, which is likely one of the reasons so many people have played through RE4 several times, and still finding new tricks/techniques. Personally, I have to have at finished RE4 at least 20 times by now between the GC and PS2 version, and I thought the QTE for El Gigante was necessary until I read here that it wasn't.Host Samurai said:

Me too. I saw a screenshot where someone had minethrower ammo in their cache, and I had no idea what it fucking was before I realized it was probably minethrower ammo! In all my 12 or so playthroughs of the game, I don't think I've even THOUGHT about buying the thing.
I used the Blacktail for the first time ever my last playthrough and really liked it. Plus upgrading capacity and getting 30 free rounds is nice.
Started my Pro run last night, man. Also wish I could mix and match the special outfits. Leon looks like such a goofball in his mafioso getup.

i normally use the blacktail, but i decided to give the Red 9 a whirl on this play through, and i have to say i'm loving it. it may take up a bit more space in the case, but i'm making that work just fine. i'll definately be going with it again on my pro run.
The Mana Legend said:
I never bought it until my, like 4th playthrough and I just wanted to see how it worked. I kept a separate save where I hoarded Mine Thrower ammo, and I could load it up anytime I wanted to have fun with the Fully Upgraded Mine Thrower. It does look badass strapped to Leon's arm while he's wearing the Gangster costume.

I've got a Cleared save right now with 1 million+ ptas, so maybe I'll just spend a playthrough messing around with stuff I haven't done before, including the Minethrower.

Some of you have never used the Minethrower? Yeah you all need to get on that. The max upgrade allows them to becoming homing darts. Instant fun I say.
very effective on some bosses, particularly El Gigante.

It is, and with the economy in this version it's very affordable. Just be careful not to stick an enemy with a mine that's close enough to run up to you before it explodes. It also has an awesome reload animation.

I'm not sure... I will try and reload my last save from before I fought the second gigante and try a flash grenade.

Nice discussion on the Blacktail and Red9. You can all hate on me: I use the Punisher all the way through the game. I've done just one playthrough with the Red9, liked it, but it takes up too much space. I never even considered the Blacktail. Just seems like another handgun, it has no selling point.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
OH YEAH! Look what just arrived ! Cost me a fortune but as an avid RE-collector, shit was a must!
Also, couldn't find my camera so sorry for the shitty Mini S2-pic >_<

I always use the Punisher on my first playthrough of the 1st round on Normal mode. It's effective enough, and I liked using my money on other things. I upgrade to Red9 on round 2, but for round 1, I always use the free Punisher.

I was really thinking of getting that, but the fact that it only had the dual-shock version of biohazard 1 with the TERRIBLE TERRIBLE music made me reconsider.

I always end up with tons of ammo at the end, and I'm never in danger of running out, but nonetheless something feels right about making every shot count in a game like this. I also played the PS2 version first, where ammo was less plentiful than it was in the Gamecube version.

Not much discussion here about CVX.
Anyway, are you guys playing CVX for the first time? I know it's my first time though, it's just sooo good (I like it better than RE1, not sure about REmake). Although... It's not as "scary" as RE1 and RE2.
For those who are playing CVX, how are you finding the game?
I also noticed they added some film grain to it (like the ones seen in the SH games).

I was trying to discuss it a few days ago when no one else had it.ULTROS! said:Not much discussion here about CVX.

Its weird, once the initial amazement at the visuals wore off years ago, I didn't really like the game as much as the others. It was clumsy, had a confusing layout and some poorly thought out segments. Regardless I think I had the most fun I've ever had playing through it this time around. When you know what to expect and are focusing on improving your rank it's much more enjoyable. My impression of the game is a lot higher than it used to be.
Even though the graphics aren't terribly impressive anymore, it's still got some amazing music and visual design. Totally worth playing.

I still love how the camera turns quickly when you reach certain areas. The game does make mr bitter a bit because of the fire extinguisher. I do love the redone lighting tho. For once I feel like I can see in CVXluka said:I was trying to discuss it a few days ago when no one else had it.

Seriously, look how badass Leon looks there. How anyone could take the Blacktail over THAT is beyond me.

For me the game is about making every shot count. Precision feels good, every time. The TMP is the opposite of that. It's nice that it's there for people who want to use it, but it feels inconsistent with the game's overall design to me.

If you've been spoiled by the entirely new gameplay of RE4, then it might be hard to go back to the older ones (because well for one, tank controls can take some time to get used to).
How would you rank the RE series by the way? Mine goes like this already: RE4 > RE2 = REC:VX > RE1 > RE0 > RE3 > RE5
