There's definitely some creepy stuff in this game (

Spoiler

Damn, I hate those spiders

), but I'm finally getting to the sections where I can really see some people's complaints. I love the game and it's one of my favorite co-op experiences, but I can see why some people feel a little left in the cold now.

Yup. I played for six hours straight yesterday, beginning to chapter 4. The game is wicked fun, but I'm just not really...scared or tense at all.

Ei. When my co-op partner left town for awhile, I'd go back through the old areas using only the pistol and the rifle, limiting myself to only the initial clip, and only healing items I found. Even then, it wasn't tense. A little frantic, fun, but not tense.

 

[Davey Cakes]

To beat him you simply

Spoiler

shoot him in the back, then the chest, then get behind him while he's hurting after you hit one of those parts and you can grab him :\. I was apart of the group that just shot his back and chest over and over thinking it was doing damage. When it comes to Wesker you can never kill him (other than frustrate him during "7 minutes") without actually using a close ranged QTE.

Spoiler

Close range QTE? I never had to use one of those. I just kept shooting him (which keeps him at bay) until he does his spinning-twister attack. At that point, he just exposes his chest, and I shoot it. Rinse, repeat. It took a bunch of ammo, but I already had plenty of it saved up.

In any case, after creating such an epic climax for pretty much all of 6-3, it was kind of disappointing that the final boss had such a mediocre design. It didn't even match RE4's.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

As much fun as this game is, I always keep finding myself wanting there to be some dull moments like RE4 had. That's how that game built its tension. So far, the only "scary" moments have been the mines when your partner needs to carry the lantern and the sewers.

my experience was hindered multiple times by a good working knowledge of re4, thus why i mentioned above people who have not played it will enjoy this twice as much. there are so many parallels to re4 that it feels like a retread. a very competent, wonderful, excellently made retread, but a retread nonetheless. the way wesker moves is an exaggeration of krauser's dashing about, and he even

is exactly the same. that's to say nothing of the completely wasted gigante sequence.

it feels like a game made by someone who played and loved resident evil 4 dearly, but really didn't understand what made it so interesting or unique in the first place. re5 is a game you can play and appreciate, but that will ultimately be colored by your experience with what came before it. prior to its release, i think many conceded that they were fine with what would essentially be re4.5hd, and i was one of those; what i hadn't predicted was the extent to which the product would smack of a lack of imagination or originality in nearly any respect.

Finished my veteran run yesterday and still have some bitching to get off my chest. The QTEs are just annoying and inconsistent. I would be fine with them if the same button input was required but it randomly switches, making for some painful redos. Also, controls still hurt the experience when you're in the heat of battle. The characters still move like fucking tanks, which in an action game like this doesn't make sense. Managing your inventory during skirmishes is a pain as well. Trying to combine herbs while being attacked normally leads to death, as the menu is clunky and slow to respond (as are the quick weapon selects on the D-pad). I love certain parts of the game but the little issues stack up against the overall experience.

not true at all. how is hitting a direction on the dpad slow and clunky? once you get used to the menus, it's very easy to use. same goes for controls. 1 hour in I was having problems but 30 hours in.. I love the controls for this type of game.

I understand the path they took for menu selection because of the co-op option, but honestly, the suitcase mechanic from RE4 is so so so so much more satisfying and precise. I wish that was still intact.

What's the deal with the melee vest? Does it have to be 'equipped' like other weapons or do you just have to have it in your inventory? I don't understand how having it has helped me so far ....

Also: the fire - it is AMAZING. Is this game built on the Framework engine? If so, it's turning out to be the most impressive 3rd party engine this generation. More impressive than Unreal Engine 3 imo.

I was only referring to using it on the pistols and SMG's since it's easy to find ammo for those two types of guns. All I really wanted was to free up some space for the vests since they take up two spots. Infinite hand cannons and Hydras can stay in the chest ;-)

So very agreed. This became apparent to me when the "You are Dead" sequences lacked the personality of RE4 and how the game took itself a little too seriously for what it was without all the wonderful out of place stuff RE4 had in the radio dialogues.

The game makes me nostalgic for RE4, which will surely make me nostalgic for RE5. Between the two we have all these different flavors, which can hardly be good because now I'll be twice as addicted. I really wish Capcom would remake RE4 in HD and at least expand Mercs, triple the melee attacks, add ground finishers and make a truly robust figure gallery (I want boss figures, dammit). Until then, RE4 will feel a bit antiquated.

No problems with Sheva on Veteran..heck she helped me quite a lot to finish the game in under 4 hours..
I gave her a Magnum with infinite ammo and she was a blast, put her in cover mode during the game and she killed anyone trying to get close to me..even ones that were quite far shooting at me.

Another thing that I just noticed in the guide (bought it after finishing the game to find the 30 BSAA emblems plus wanted the calendar ), is that it mentions that Sheva behaves according to how well you act towards her; there's even an achievement/trophy of that. Make sure to thank her of after she heals you or gives you an item without asking her; and she'll behave fine. Constantly arras her requesting items and telling her to hurry and she'll give a fuck about you and stay with all the items and only heal you when you're close to dying.

[Neiteio]

I see people use the GOW reference to alternatively describe the

Spoiler

sun mirrors

of Chapter 4 and the

Spoiler

satellite laser

of Chapter 5. Which one are you guys talking about when you mention Hammer of Dawn?

Also, what would you guys think of a DLC scenario where you play as Josh in the events leading up to the Delta Squad massacre at the port? It could begin in broad daylight, playing up the harsh light/extreme dark contrast to great effect, with Majini lurking in the shadows and some new enemies on the prowl; say, infected hyena that cackle evilly and stalk you in groups, the port being a backwater town on the savannah and all. Then, once you’ve secured the area, it’s late afternoon and storm clouds are gathering overhead. It begins to thunder and rain, and out of nowhere Ndesu (El Gigante) attacks, who you fight on foot ala RE4. What follows is a sequence like the Gekko attack at the beginning of MGS4, where all around you your Delta Squad teammates are dying in real-time, while you struggle to survive, stunning Ndesu with your weapons to give you time to run and hide. The idea is Ndesu is considerably stronger than RE4’s Gigante – he has six times the plagas, after all – so Josh would need to exploit the environment, playing cat-and-mouse with the giant and ultimately finding a way to knock Ndesu unconscious (hence why the beast’s still alive when Chris and Sheva arrive later that night).

Maybe there’d be more to the scenario than that (I wanted to fit infected elephants, giraffe and lions in there somehow like early reports led us to believe), but at any rate it’s a scenario that could reuse assets already in the game (the port, Josh, Ndesu) with minimal additions (infected hyena).

I know the DLC everyone REALLY wants would be Chris and

Spoiler

Jill

exploring Spencer’s estate as seen in the flashbacks (the flashbacks now integrated at the end as a QTE). In and around Spencer’s mansion you’d encounter Barry Burton, who’d fight alongside you at parts like Josh at the oil refinery, and you’d battle zombies (let’s say specimens were kept for research), Crimson Heads, insta-kill Hunters and maybe a Tyrant complete with fully destructible environments.

Spoiler

Jill’s RE1 and RE3 costumes

would be unlockable, as would new files, figures, filters, weapons (you could finally find the Samurai Edge, and maybe the Mine Thrower), and more.

And yet a THIRD possibility could involve co-op with

Spoiler

Wesker

and the “Bird Lady,” perhaps prior to the events of RE5. I’m not sure who they combat, though; I’m not too keen on the idea of killing non-infected characters, but maybe the developers could shoehorn a reason why

Spoiler

Wesker

and the “Bird Lady” would fight Ganado/Majini, perhaps the infected of a competing sect like the Los Illuminados elsewhere in the world. This last scenario would probably be the most elaborate DLC, potentially requiring all-new assets.

Bottom line: if Capcom makes it, I will buy.

Yeah..the guide per se doesn't cover story spoilers, but strategies of the entire game and bosses. Then have a separate section for each chapter's recommendations for speed runs o Normal and Professional. Then lists for each treasures, weapons, figurines, modes, trophies/achievement and how to obtain them. Then info, pictures, maps and item locations for the Mercenaries (small pictures of each character, but there are bigger pics/render through the guide) and Versus Mode..and then concludes with an interview, behind the scenes pictures and artwork for the game.

I paid $30 for it, which was a little over $10 more than the Amazon price, and still find it to be a great value, read the interview (which is a lot considering I hate reading ) plus the calendar is great (and even lists the release dates of each of the main RE games through the years).

After clocking in 25 hours and still being no where near done (need to do veteran and pro) I've come to the conclusion that this game is amazing. I don't care if it alot like RE4 nor do I care that there aren't any scares. What I do know is this is the most fun I've had with a game this generation and I like it even better than 4.
