Verdugo is easy, just buy the XL case and keep hold of the rocket launcher you find in the castle. Boom.

"IT" takes a lot of bullets on Pro, though.

I ran out of bullets against "IT" on a professional run I did on either Gamecube or PS2 (I don't quite remember). Anyway, I had to use my knife to finish it off and that was intense.

 

[Curufinwe]

Started my professional run of the RE4 for dat last trophy. Ganados sure make a lot more damage but the start wasn't too hard. Im worried about the bosses and castle part tho, especially Verdugo and later part.

Im gonna go with Red9, TMP, Bolt Action and Striker tune ups and hope I'll manage.

I suggest using a RL on Mendez's second form.

 

[Dreamer RD]

Is there Easy mode in EU version of RE4?
Im doing speedruns in US version, but always lose time in castle maze. On easy that area was somehow avoidable (on ps2 at least). So Im curious if EU has it, coz US has not.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

It's definitely in the 360 AU version.

 

[Criminal Upper]

So what's the general consensus on Code Veronica?

I never beat CV on the GameCube, a glitch prevented me from retrieving the magnum, so I had no way to beat Alicia, so it remains forever unfinished.

Have a 360...so is CV HD worth it?

I don't think that was a glitch?

Spoiler

You have to put the empty fire extinguisher in the proper item box.

Anyway, if you haven't played it/finished it, it's worth it.

 

[brianjones]

is the HD port worth getting if i have code veronica X for PS2?

Now, I put the fire extinguisher in an item box.

Are you telling me there's a PROPER item box to put it in?

If so, that's some serrriuzzzzzzzz bullshit.

One that isn't a metal detector box.

They improved the graphical presentation though, such as changing the ending artwork (see Prime Blue's post) and implementing MT Frameworks (thus heavily improved lighting).

If you like trophies/achievements, you like this game, and want to see these changes, then go for it.

He meant the item box that holds all your items and teleport them to other item boxes

When it comes to gameplay it looks fine, but even after hearing about the FMVs I was surprised unpleasantly about how awful they look.

Spoiler

The worst so far has been the FMV after the fight with Nosferatu.

Such a pity.

BTW, wasn't there different control configurations in the original, or am I just remembering it wrong?

Yeah, the problems were the FMVs, they're pretty hideous.

So I got around to buying this last night... and... holy shit, I forgot how good this game is. It still feels so original and the atmosphere is amazing. Looks really good now too. If anyone's on the fence about this, do it.

Oops. Four. I don't know much about Code Veronica. Worth checking out? You sound like the kind of guy who can give me unbiased advice.

 

[Spotless Mind]

I'm doing a Pro run right now. The mash square to run from boulder sections are making me rage. I was so relieved when i got past the first one and completely forgot about the second... >_< These mashing QTE's are literally the only thing i hate about the game. It is still as memorable and addictive as my first playthrough on the GC.

 

[Nemesis_]

I actually think it's one of the worst mainline Resident Evil titles, but it's still quite good. The story and level design is just a little bit stupid. Well, very stupid. I would recommend it though, they did put a bit more work into CVX more so than RE4.

Do you like classic Resident Evil gameplay and control? For me, this is what it comes down to... If you can "go back" to the old style, so to speak, then I think you would enjoy it. I think it's one of the most well-crafted original style RE games out there.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Question: how do you save the game in CV? Do we still get the typing by the classic way!!? Or it's now like all the regular PS3 games using the same saving screen?

Probably for the best. Apparently the Japanese version requires an install for each game.

Well, the story is still far better than RE4's.

Yep, I think you just wasted the rocket launcher.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Completed pro run on RE4 ^^. Was actually easier than I expected. I think it gets easier the further you are since Ganados can kill you in 2 hits before you get to increase max hp.

Spoiler

Used RL on Verdugo and IT. Didn't notice any diffirence in Del Lago. Very easy fight. Mendez was also pretty easy with tuned TMP. Salazar was sooooo easy it was just stupid. Magnum and Rifle kill him before he can get any attacks on you if you got reflexes to do the dodge.

Then I got to Krauser and he pretty much raped me hard . Didn't really have any healing items at this point so I had to dodge pretty much every attack or he would kill me instantly. Tried first with magnum but he is way too fast to get those stopping leg shots so I had to change strategy. Flame granades->Knifing proved to be much better tactic and finally got him down :3.

First game I got 100% trophies, so shame it doesen't have platinum :<. Now I am sooo burned on RE4 that I don't think I'll play it again for a while. Next up will be CVX. Getting Infinite Launcher should be interesting.

Edit: And whats up with no trophies from AA and friggin Mercenaries!!! Laaaaaaaame!

 

[Papercuts]

Here was my inventory at the end of the game. Probably has to be one of my playthroughs in the mid 20s by now, and I still feel like those are all the best weapons you can have.

Spoiler

TMP is amazing and manual rifle >>> semi come at me bros.

Don't recall getting that much magnum ammo before. I was saving up for a rainy day that never happened.

 

[Speedymanic]

Combine those herbs, man. O_O

And remind me, what shotty is that?

 

[Magnus]

Inventory questions I should probably have asked in 2005:

1. Is there...actually an advantage to keeping yellow herbs separate until you want to use them? I always merge my yellow with a green at the first opportunity (and often reds too). I mean, you may as well have the 'max health increase' from a yellow the very next time you heal up, right?

2. To equip scopes and other weapon addons, you just combine them once, then equip the gun, right? I notice the "E" appears on both the weapon and the scope in my inventory at that point. I'm not missing a step where the scope no longer has to take up 2-4 squares in my inventory, right? I assume it'll always eat up that room.

 

[Papercuts]

Haha, I only combine them when I'm out of space. I also already had max health so I didn't really need yellow herbs anymore.

The striker! Easily the best shotgun.

You're right on both. No reason to not use yellow herbs, and the item attachments always take up extra space.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Striker. You can buy it shortly before

Spoiler

Salazar

boss battle.

I think I still like riot gun more.

 

[Rolf NB]

Is the striker automatic or why does it have that funky drum? Never used it once, just curious.

 

[Cruzader]

Hmm is RE5 GE on PSN worth getting as a digital version? Always wanted to buy it at like $15 or so Disk version but for $23 for PS+, makes it nice. Im not the biggest RE fan but RE4 is cool. Almost beat it. Im on 5-2 or so.

So worth it or wait for a cheap disk sale? Im not too huge on PS3 DD games yet. (I have lots of PSN games)

edit: let me elaborate - herbs not combined, guns facing all willy-nilly, ammo scattered and not sorted by type, my OCD is screaming right now.

 

[Rolf NB]

Done and done.
Now if I could just graduate to Pro difficulty with my current inventory ...
I'm not sure I can go back to a shaky 1.0 handgun. Start of the game has always been the hardest part for me.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

It's got a funky funky drum because the exclusive upgrade is the capacity to hold 100 shells. Don't remember its capacity when you first get it.

That's a lot of shells!

Pro run going much better than expected. Going to stick it out with punisher/basic shotgun/bolt action/TMP for a while. Already passed the lake. Sold over 10k Ptas worth of fish ))

Haha, I actually fixed it and made it all organized in the castle, but as I picked up stuff it got all fucked up again and I didn't mess with anymore. I like playing tetris with grenades.

 

[consoul]

I started playing Biohazard: Code Veronica HD which I had installed off the Japanese PS3 disc release, but then I ended up being sent a code from Capcom Europe for the Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD version, so I decided to play that (english-language) version instead.

(Same trophy set, but incompatible save files if anyone is interested.)

The weird thing is, the Japanese Code Veronica install took up about 2.6GB, while the Euro version takes up just under 4.7GB. How can that be? I understand the Euro version might support other Euro languages, but that would only be for text, right? All versions (inc. Japan) have english language audio.

So what could possibly be taking up almost double the HDD space in the Euro release?

Was there ever a German version of CV that was censored? Maybe both games are included in that package?

 

[consoul]

No, as far as I know Code Veronica was never cut for Germany, it was just indexed. I've also heard that the HD version isn't available for download on the German Store/Marketplace anyway, so there'd be little point including a separate censored version.

Disorganized case 4 life!

There's too much agreement and love for RE4 in this thread. We need to start infighting and break into factions.

I propose bolt-action vs. semi-auto, TMP vs. Red9, and OCD case organizer vs. laissez-faire case factions.
