Ending question...
Did anyone else think that when when Sheva and Chris fired the rockets at Wesker...that it looked like Wesker dodged them? Granted I know everyone would still be dead regardless, but this is...you know, Wesker.
So is it safe to assume he's NOT dead?

I've never played co-op with random people, but I'm assuming that they hit the request command while looking at your inventory.KevinCow said:
I'm sorry, but there's no way you can say RE4 had the better variety of monsters. In addition to having a Majini equivalent to every Ganando RE4 had, and making them more varied with more moves and QTE dodges (love rolling out of a spear's way rather than helplessly getting skewered like in 4), you have swarms of low-to-the-ground BOWs (spiders), flying BOWs, armored BOWs, Reapers,Shaheed79 said:

Uh, they didn't just give the enemies an AK47, they added an entire cover system that was implemented extensively in every battlefield of Chapter 5 and 6 and made for some very satisfying shootouts. You could finally take advantage of the environment to protect yourself when enemies were bearing down on you, and going all Quickdraw McGraw with a magnum and poppin' headshots from behind cover was AWESOME. Mix it up with conveyor belt fights, elevator fights, et al, and you have a variety of situations as well.
And sorry to hear you didn't like the bosses. The trick to beating most of them always felt empowering, and I loved it. When you rain hellfire from heaven or torch a nasty with a pulpy stream of liquid fire, it feels good. All I remember about RE4's bosses was running around shooting my pistol at fleshy monsters, with the two exceptions being Del Lago's boat battle and U-3's hide-and-seek. RE5 even had a boss battle where killing wasn't the solution, and some games of hide-and-seek where the enemy actually moved around in real-time rather than simply disappearing and respawning at blind spots. I have a hard time fathoming how something like the Irving battle could be construed as dull (you don't have to use the turrets there, you know), but to each his own.
Really, my favorite Resident Evil boss fights are a healthy mix of selections from RE4 and RE5. I loved Del Lago and Bitores Mendez in RE4, and I especially love

seemed to me like the rockets smacked him right in the head before hitting the lava .. he sort of stops the yell an instant before the rocket blows indicating a hit

He's still alive. It's

Wesker
Christopher said:
There are theories online that he did dodge them...
that his head ducked down. I've yet to analyze frame by frame the last cutscene, but some people say he did. I wouldn't put it past Capcom, frankly. When I saw the cutscene, I assumed the missiles went straight through his head, but I didn't pay that much attention to details.

I'm pretty sure thatBrandNew said:
he dodged the initial shot, whether he was killed in the resulting blast is a different story, of course, the guy can stand in lava. If he can do that, what's a rocket going to do? Well, besides shred him with the shrapnel. *shrugs*

really? i thought it was a fairly bland-looking level, imho. the only level that creeped me out was the caves with the light in 2-2.
Grimm Fandango said:
i dunno, they pretty much explained everything with him and they also revealed his almighty plan. i think bringing him back would sorta suck. plus,
they killed him with rocket launchers at the end. noone ever returns from rocket launchers to the face in any of the past RE games, unless the Wesker we fought was a fucking clone. 
even if he dodged the rockets, the volcano erupted so unless he could withstand lava, i'm sure he's dead. the regular Uruborous couldn't even survive a regular flamethrower.

Finished the game.
Don't like the story
Re4's character was much much more developed.
Too short
Edit:
are the Viral Campaign Episodes what really happened after re5?

No extra chapter which let us play as jill ?

Doing Pro on solo at the moment and not having too much trouble.
You pretty much have to treat it like a speedrun: simply running passed everyone is often a lot easier than fighting it out and risking a deadly attack in the back or some stupid arrow from half across the field if you stand still for half a second.

Last night I managed to A rank all of the mercs stages. Yay.
Interestingly enough, I had more trouble doing it on Ship than on Prison.

Meh. Just....meh.Neiteio said:
That one tribal that turns into the weird shell monster got me, true, but no one else. And, in general the tribal areas aren't even as creepy as the Village in RE4, never mind the enclosed areas of the Mansion in REmake with Crimson Heads.
Of course, 3-1 is the worst. It was expansive, and you could explore in a non-linear fashion, but it also just felt boring to me. Chapter 3 and the end of Chapter 2, I feel, are RE5's weak points, where I felt that RE4 saw a steady increase and then peaked during the Castle segments in its middle chapters.
But, to each his own.

I played the game again for about 4 hours last night. I am going through the game solo. I just got to the part
I think I am at 4-2. I am really enjoying the game. It is not too hard, it is hella entertaining, though it really is a RE game in name only.
I did just buy the stun stick and damn it is overpowered. Combine a stunstick, a machine gun and a sniper rifle and you are god. I plan on going through the game again after I am done.

Don't worry, Hunk's still on janitorial duties, nobody's getting away.
Does anyone else find the film-grain filter they apply to the cutscenes to just be annoying? Maybe it's because it doesn't exist in gameplay, but I find it really detracts from the quality of the image and is distracting as hell. Every time a cutscene starts up, especially in the darker areas, I think something is wrong with my TV. The game looks gorgeous during gameplay, I have no idea why they decided to muck with it during cutscenes.

Seeing as how Wesker is perfectly fine with standing in lava, I'm sure he'll be back - one way or another.
He'll probably just become integrated with the Earth's lifestream, and will summon meteor - or some shit. :lol

How exactly do you invite a specific person to play co-op. I couldn't find a way to invite someone from my friend list.

You've got to start a game, and be sitting in your inventory screen, and then invite them by going to their gamer tag and hitting X. It's a bit cumbersome.darkjedi187 said:

My birthday was yesterday. My awesome daughter who works at Best Buy part time after-school and on week-ends surprised the crap out of me with RE5 present for PS3. She said she saw how I always rewinded and watched the commercial several times and seen the gleem in my eye. :lol How awesome is that? I may do a quicky exchange for the 360 version though, but I can't wait to get started.

If you get the 360 version, we can do some co-op. GT: dskillzhtown
If you do play it solo, I suggest not giving your AI partner any health items, and holding them all yourself. The AI can be slow with giving you healing when you need it, but resuscitating is actually faster than using a healing item. You'll end up dying a lot less if the AI is using that.Naruto said:

Happened to me when I was farming gold eggs on 3-1. I had really low health and went up to a chicken, then I just died... So I checked my records and I had one death thanks to a chicken : /.Ephemeris said:

My roommate finally got a copy of the game, so we played through to 1-2 where the QTE happens. Question though, right at the docks there's a treasure chest sitting behind vendor stalls, how the fuck do you get to it?
Any advanced Mercenaries players here? I want to ask how you guys handle all the latter maps including Experimental Facility, Missile Area, Ship Deck and Prison. I've got S in the earlier maps, A in the middle maps and I've just started on the Ship Deck and Prison maps today.
They are FUCKING hella hard.
Ship Deck is a huge map and the chainsaw majinis total 6 across the whole period, and they have fake deaths as well! Strangely each consecutive majini seems easier to kill than the next, but I want to hear how you guys do your strategy.
Prison is also ridiculous, with a NON-STOP flow of executioner majinis (red and black alternating) and my friend and I spent ALL our ammo on the red executioner. I think we need more powerful weapons but I also want to hear you guys talk on this one.
Thanks for any help.

I said this before but they should have had like a Jill files, like Ada files. I wouldn't be surprised if it was DLC or something but then people will bitch how it should have been in the game :lol

well placed grenade. I figured this out the first time i pasted it but my grenade didn't blow up the right piece. I came back later on and tried it and scored.
