He attacks when he feels like it. I mean, I'm not really complaining, because he is still a one-man army, that only needs to be healed once in a while.

Might be your disc or install man? No one has said anything of that nature on the game. Aside from a random lock or so.

you get him in the right spot he knocks them all out no trouble, i just practiced my sniping on that level and left my light weight to him.

I thought he was a pretty solid AI. Only one time did he not follow me as I sprinted across the map in chapter 6 and got left behind so I had to run back and save him.
Other than that though he wasn't bad at all.
I've never seen a partner NPC beast through a combat section like he did. Such a boss.

Makes Sheeva on RE5 look BAD!!!!

And yet he's not the star of the game. The star of the game only knows how to pick up weapons that break after a single use. Need more adamantium axes IMO.
He deserves like a fucking statue for that or something. Or like a town named after him.

why waste a flash bolt? just shoot it with a pistol, it'll fall out all the same, not for as long but you can repeat it no prob!
Seriously. I was expecting that part to be a pain in the ass but then he's just all, "nah, I got this."
There are some parts of the game that make me question whether members of the dev team were even sentient creatures capable of intelligent thought.
How could anyone think that's fun? It's just mindblowing. I can't possibly fathom a reason why no one would stop and say "hey guys, this is a stupid thing to include."
In chapter 7 there is a spot when random spikes just shoot out and kill you. There's no audio or visual cue that something might be wrong. There's no switch sticking out anywhere. Just your 5285th hanging body then you walk by it and bam, dead.

Man, with me it was relentless. It's like the monster never takes rest
unless I hid for abit to where it looses me. I found it much easier when it was in that other form because I immediately adapted to its limited move set which is just walking abit fast, pausing a second or two then going in for the bite.

if you're talking about what I think you're talking about that is ALL your bad, you should pay close attention to your surroundings.
Streaming this right now I'm on chapter 4 http://www.twitch.tv/ace_235

No, it's before that. The part you mention was completely obvious even without the character saying anything. I started laughing as soon as I walked into the room.
Sanctuary

Uh, never actually been able to hit it on the
eye itslef, because it literally has to be looking at you for you to hit it and by that point it's too late. Hitting the stalk doesn't drop it, that's for sure.
I don't remember that at all. I'll be looking for this in
chapter 7, but I sure as hell don't remember an instant death from out of the blue scenario

Given that there's an achievement/trophy for not upgrading a single thing, I'd assume the experience doesn't go to shit even if you spend your Green Gel wrong, at least on Survival. Is that actually possible though? I dunno. Don't know what I'd do without my Critvolver, Flash Bolts, and Harpoons. At the same time, I had many spare crossbow parts (100 by the final chapter), ran into a few situations where I couldn't carry any more ammo for my other weapons (Critvolver got too much love), and I never shot my Magnum once.
As for the invisible enemies, just cheese them with a Flash Bolt -> Facestab.

Hmm, didn't manage to get killed then but yeah that hanging body was obvious but I could understand why maybe someone would miss it. Generally whenever I see spikes above, I just steer away lol.

You can shoot the eye immediately as the battle starts if you inch out to the right from pillar you start behind. Then if you manage to hide under a car, or make him lose track of you and he stops to "scan" again, it's basically another free shot.
Yeah, the part that killed me didn't have any spikes. They just shot out of a normal wall with no suspicious signs. I'm fine with traps you can't actually see and avoid.
Sanctuary
Member
I always used the pillar to shoot from at the start, and as soon as I would line up my shot to actually hit the eye (that was looking right at me), it would instantly move because I was detected. Can't hit the eye when the stalk is whipping around.
You can't one-shot him with that, if that's what you're asking. It takes multiple
stabs

Wow... I clicked like it was nothing. Major spoiler (and you used tags, I know).
To risky to be here for me.
Maybe major spoilers shouldn't be used as a part of a sentence that easily in a non spoiler thread...
I know it's my fault, but still...
in a good way ?

Apparently so, as there's an achievement for killing him with the knife.
Net_Wrecker

Pretty sure all of those have tripwires.
That's weird. I died 3 times before I found a consistent strategy, but taking a shot right at the start always worked for me.
Huh, the prompt isn't appearing while he's stunned, what button is it? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Oh, you have to crouch to do it. Bit clunkier than it should be.
Sanctuary
Member
You have to be stealth crouching and hit A (360 controller) or X.
Yeah, okay, that's fucking stupid. Thank you very much.
Net_Wrecker

Have fun raging when you crouch but the prompt still doesn't pop up because lol i dunno
NoirVisage

Nope! if its in the distance
looking the other way, i pop caps in it and down it goes. as long as you hit the eye it will drop mang.

Beat the game, honestly one of my favorite games released this year so far.
Might be standing at the wrong spot. I've been having a hell of a time trying the bottle -> stealth kill but I realized that's only a kill from the front, not the back.
for some reason
The camera has to be centered on whatever you're looking at for the prompt to appear, it's ridiculous.
Sanctuary
Member
Hmm. I'll try it again I guess, but I was even using the sniper and hitting the
eye on the side did nothing but cause it to notice me
Net_Wrecker
Member
I know it's from the front. It still doesn't work 100% of the time even when the Ganado is clearly in the stunned animation. It's like they tried to bring in the bottle/brick --> melee move from The Last of Us without any of the finesse or beautiful blending animations.
smh. So it's the same issue as picking up items? Makes everything feel so finicky.

I'll just say that you shouldn't worry and it's much, much more then that. Whenever you finish the game, come join us in the spoiler thread.

Haha, that might be it too. It's super finicky with items and dropping a match with the same thing using the camera, didn't realize it was needed for that too.

Pretty sure you don't have to have the camera centered to pick up an item.

I loved it, it was a
break from all the doom and gloom, didn't have a single lazy qte segment like resident evil seems to love and when you get a certain weapon after beating the game, you WILL want to repay it and mow down everything.
