no the emblem locations are fucked up.
That's what you find odd? You don't find it strange that he's all decked out and ready for combat when going to a cemetery to pay his respects?fernoca said:Yeah it's quite nice, though after playing the game..it doesn't make sense since Chris got that costume and weapons/equipment when he arrived to Africa.

You laugh, but that was one of the few QTEs in gaming where I'm actually glad it exists. Vaguely reminiscent of the "Snake crawl", but with the twist that your co-op partner's life is at stake.Teknoman said:

That being said...I actually like all QTEs when done right.
the QTE where you're fighting inside the bomber, and have to grab Sheva before she falls
my neck get snapped with just a flick of Wesker's wrist

Oh, and is it impossible to kill the final boss the "right" way on Pro?
I shot him in the chest and grabbed him like normal, and while Sheva was stabbing the fuck out of him...I noticed the stuff all over Chris was actually hurting him pretty badly. It lead to me dying while she was still stabbing, and then wesker does an (awesome) spinning drill move on sheva. I never actually paid attention to whether or not you lose health when you're holding him in other difficulties, but I died even though I grabbed him with full health.
So basically I just shot his chest with a rocket instead.

Started out hating the game, but ended up really liking it.
The only thing that really bothered me was the lack hints during boss battles. There was absolutely no indication that what I was doing was right/wrong. For example, for the last boss,
Like, four or five times. By the fifth time, I had no idea if I was doing something wrong; the boss didn't seem physically weaker or anything. But then again, I may have been doing the entire thing incorrectly, for all I know.
Same with the chapter 6-3 boss
Still a great game, though. The cutscenes were fantastic, though the game was sorely lacking in memorable characters (like Salazar, Krauser, or the Big Cheese from RE4) and situations (RE4 knife fight!).
New Game carries over all my previous items and weapons, correct? If so, I guess I'll attempt the "upgrade all weapons" Achievement.

Wesker outside the jet. During the fight, all I'm thinking is, do I have to turn off the lights, inject the serum (ala Vamp), then rocket him? Or rocket him, then inject the serum? Or are the lights even important? Is this gun even hurting him?

Can I force Sheva to use particular weapon? Only option in real-time inventory is "request". I gave her Stun Rod and Rifle. She rarely uses her rifle. Instead, she stands totally useless most of time with stun rod equipped.
IIRC,
If Sheva's on Cover, she'll default to the baton. On Attack I think she'll use the rifle. Most people that are paranoid about Sheva using up all the precious ammo tend to just give her that baton and call it a day.
The optimal combo does seem to be sniper rifle/machine gun however. Sheva's a beast with rifles in general. The
seems to have some odd priority to it though, I've seen her choose to use that over a MG sometimes.

I just had my first mercenaries game where we killed every single thing alive in the mines. According to my screen I had 106 kills, I'm guessing my partner (who didn't have a mic) had the other 44 or so.
We only scored 85k though :lol Couldn't keep a good combo going if our lives depended on it. I was
while my partner was playing BSAA Sheva.
The guy I was paired with had 2 full stacks of machine gun ammo towards the end :lol While I was struggling to keep going with what I had. What I did notice though it helps a *lot* to pick a character that's somewhat complimentary to one another in terms of loadout, as during the whole thing I kept getting nothing but rifle ammo.
The troubling thing is I think my partner playing BSAA Sheva didn't even use the rifle all that much. So we had tons and tons of unused rifle ammo all over the place.

If you're patient [with balls of steel] and have steady aim, you can see the white bulbous part on its abdominal area open up for 2-3 seconds as it walks up to you. One good shot from a Magnum or the Hydra is usually enough to take a Reaper down this way. Get ready to turn tail and GTFO if you miss though! :lol
Alternatively, plant 1-3 Proximity Mines and lead it over them.

Due to swapping out my 40gb HDD for a 320gb
Anyhoo, I'm under the idea that Veteran and Professional difficulty are pretty much outta the question without a fresh Newgame+ with upgraded weapons?
If so, then I have to go through RE5 again to get all the shit I lost
...*sigh*

Just take away her stun rod, I found that she is absolutely useless when it comes to close quarter combat (especially dogs) but she's pretty good with the rifle.
I gave Sheva a maxed out rifle with infinite ammo and then loaded her with first aid sprays so that she can't pick anything else up.

GOD DAMN IT. Sheva is DUMBEST MOTERFUCKING BITCH AI ever.
I'm in 3-2 trying to kill
with proximity mines. That bitch keeps walking near mines. I'd to save her instead of dealing with majini. I'd to retry three times. Guess I'll just quit for today. Fucking stupid AI.
I read somewhere in this thread that she is also good with stun rod so I gave her both. Seems she loses her ability to use other weapons if stun rod is available.
Which rifle is best for her?

Veteran is very much doable, just not easy. Pro mode, not so much.AgentOtaku said:
Just get a friend with maxed out weapons and infinite ammo to run through the game with you on Vet. It'll probably still be a lot of fun, and it won't take [relatively] too long (4-6 hours maybe?).

Yes. It's like a drug._tetsuo_ said:
Also just started messing around with Mercenaries. Having avoided it in RE4 due to maximum frustration I'm really trying to give it a fair shot this time. Already getting 20k on the first level (Yeah I suck). Can't wait to try it with another body.
MirageDwarf said:
Yeah I've found that Sheva AI sometimes has problems deciding which weapon to use. I've noticed her switching between a shotgun and rifle over and over again for a bit..
I gave her the Dragunov SVD rifle - when fully upgraded it takes out most enemies in one shot. I've not really tried the other rifles though.
Hesemonni said:
It might not be the quickest and most effective way, but at least you don't risk your whole round (and your partner's ire) as opposed to the ballsy way. Once you get good at it though, playing chicken with the Reaper is definitely worth doing just so you can go back to focusing on your combo.

Man, being beholden to two people's schedule's sucks. Me and the dude I'm playing through with just finished Chapter 3 tonight. Glancing at this thread makes it seem like people beat the game thrice over before I even opened my copy.
Whatever, it's worth it. Resident Evil has *always* been a multiplayer experience for me, used to watch roommates and friends play it and go back and forth. It was always that kind of game. Arguing over the stupid puzzles and jumping over the quick scares and laughing at the utter cheese. That they actually made it co-op is just beyond perfect really.

So I did!
I also played my first Mercenaries game in the series, and I'm so bad at it, only hit aout 50k the first time, and now I have to get to it since my highest score is something crappy like 90k
Regarding achievements, I'm 45/50
War Hero, They Belong in a Museum, They're ACTION Figures!, Lead Aspirin, Who Do You Trust?
Those are my achievements left.
