The Official RESIDENT EVIL 5 Thread of LOOK OUT: SPOILER TAGS CONTAIN ACTUAL SPOILERS

I'm currently on Chapter 6-3, fighting what I presume is the end boss. Problem is, I accidentally saved my progress with absolutely no ammo or money. I'm screwed, aren't I?

How exactly does the rotten egg thing work over PSN?

2 players, one with a egg
player 1 (with egg) gives player 2 the egg
player 2 (now with egg) saves his inventory
player 1 will not save his inventory and will not loose the egg
repeat

Replay a chapter. The money/ammo carries over.

I assume this doesn't work via split screen co-op on PS3, right?

I started New Game+ on Veteran difficulty, except I forgot to select new costumes. Is there anyway I can start over again with the costumes? Seems stupid if I can't.

I think you can just go back to the menu, turn them on and continue.

that or I can give you some after I've gotten them.

Awesome! I already have you on PSN (I think) so as soon as you're done send me an invite if you want.

@kamorra, thanks anyway!

I wish people knew how to kill Reapers. If I'm not playing a high-power character, I have to blow a lot of my ammo on them, while my teammate, even if they have a high-power weapon, will either not use it, or, in a futile attempt to kill the bug, waste it all on the carapace.

I think I have brandonh on my PSN list and maybe another. Don't be surprised if I start begging you for eggs later when I get on :D

So i finaly played this game and I have to say the controls are utter crap. Its either the controls or I seriously suck at this game. I struggled playing this game by myself on the easiest setting, but the co-op if fucking awesome. This game feels completely different when you play it with a buddy. I really like this game although I think the controls are horrible. It is such a blast playing co-op. I'm glad I gave this game another shot its easily worth 60$.

Thanks brandonh83, I now have 249 rotten eggs, hehe.
If anyone wants to do the egg glitch just add me and send me a message. But not today, it's late here GMT+1 and I want to finish veteran (last two stages) now first.

edit
Now I only have one left, I sold the other for almost a half million. :lol

So. Mercenaries. What the hell. How do you get an even decent score? Both Chris and Sheva have such crappy weapons so it's pretty tough to keep up a decent combo, and I have no damn idea how to take out the Executioner. And this is only the first damn level? And I can't even get a decent enough score to unlock more characters or levels?

Can anyone else not get the Topaz (Oval)? I've tried like 8 times and it doesn't work for me. I've tried this guys method and the stuff on Gamefaqs and nothing works.

Do not kill the crane operator. I repeat, do not kill him. You need to get to where the treasure drops and you need the crane key to get there.

edit: okay a bit more detail.
Climb the crow's nest. Do not snipe either guy on the crane just to be safe. But look to the lower right of the crane. You should see a soldier minding his own business. This is on the path to the crane and you need a key to get there. Anyway snipe his face off. He should drop the treasure. Now continue on the level and once you get the crane key, go there and collect it.

Do I have to constantly shoot BSAA Emblems in order to unlock all the figurines?

I thought that once you find all 30 emblems you could buy all the figurines but it seems that is not the case.

Just check the ????s for the missing figurines. The requirements are listed on the left side. One is to get S ranks on all chapters for example.

And what about the exchange points? How do I stock up on those?

Completing chapters and Mercenary runs. SS rank on Mercs nets 5000 points which is not bad for less than 10 minutes of work.

But I'm not sure about the most efficient way to get points. Probably discussed earlier in the thread.

Grimm it didn't work. I tried not shooting anyone on the crane, shooting the guy on the lower level, etc. I gave Sheva a pea shooter just to make sure she isn't shooting anyone either and nothing. Does the Topaz drop in the same spot in that video i linked?

Edit: I didn't try all possibilities and just thought of one. So brb when i test it.

No it does not. It drops from the guy you snipe who is located right by the door you open with the crane key. At least where I got it from.

I might take pictures since many people have trouble with this and I'm not good at explaining it.

I finished my first run through the game last night, on single player.

My issues with the gameplay aside for a moment, what they did to
Jill
was infuriating. What they did to her pissed me off so fucking much, it almost would have been better if she had
stayed dead. At least then she would have gone out in a blaze of glory, willing to sacrifice her life to save Chris and kill Wesker. Instead she's reduced to a simpering doe eyed damsel in distress.

"Only you can stop him, Chris!"

Ugh.

Chris and Jill are the main characters of the series. They're the ones with the score to settle with Wesker. But she's replaced with that dumb fucking cow Sheva? And what role is Jill given? A background character that the story just tosses aside like a insignificant secondary character in the climactic final confrontation with Wesker? Fuck, Ada had a bigger and more relevent role in RE4 than Jill did in RE5! The least Capcom could have done was let Chris and Jill fire the two rocket launchers to finish off Wesker. But...again, that dumb cow takes her place. If what Capcom's said about the future of this franchise is true, and that they're rebooting it with new characters and a new story, I cannot think of a more unsatisfying conclusion for one of the most popular characters in the franchise than this.
Fucking fail, Capcom. Fail.

Now, the gameplay. Hey Capcom, you got your co op in my Resident Evil, and they don't go together like fucking peanut butter and chocolate either. Sheva is the dumbest piece of shit AI I've ever had to escort in a 10 fucking hour game...ever. Please stop: stealing my ammo, unloading all of said ammo into my back, standing completely still right in front of enemies that can one-hit kill your dumb ass, ignoring grenades in your inventory once you've run out of ammo, using the wrong weapon in a given situation, and talking to me like I'm an idiot. And the streamlining concessions made to make it co op friendly were very noticable and very disappointing.

After RE4, these boss fights don't even come close to cutting it, Capcom.
A machine gun fight with an El Gigante? Lazy. Two fights with that crappy bat BOW? Stupid lazy. Three fights with Uroboros? Are you kidding? And none of them were fun, while almost all of RE4's bosses were. And I can't be the only one that went from delighted to see the Licker return, to groaning when yet another horde of them showed up.

I won't even go in to any fight that involved Wesker. Ugh.

I enjoyed the fan service story for what it was. But it in no way lived up to my expectations of the final confrontation with Wesker. I feel kinda empty, and wishing all the more that I could have played the original version of this story in RE3.5 if the trailers where anything to go by (
looks like it was the assault on Spencer's mansion as seen in the flash backs from the old trailers
). :(

I kind of feel like how I did after playing Devil May Cry 2. While RE5 very obviously won't kill the franchise like DMC2 almost did, it feels dead to me.

I got it. Here is what i had to do. First of all i didn't realize there were 2 guys standing on TOP of the crane. Dumbass i know. I only saw the guy to the far left. So what i had to do was shoot the guy standing on top of the crane on the right side and then shoot the guy standing on the platform under the crane operator. I did not shoot the crane operator like you said. But all this time i was shooting the wrong people. Thanks for the help.

Anyone playing on PS3 have problems keeping a game of mercs going online? Every time I get into a game it always has some kind of an error before the game ends.

*sigh*

I really should just stick to solo Mercenaries. I don't even like the idea of handing out free A/S/SS ranks to players that can't even maintain a 5 combo by themselves.
