The Official RESIDENT EVIL 5 Thread of LOOK OUT: SPOILER TAGS CONTAIN ACTUAL SPOILERS
- Thread starter cvxfreak
- Start date
Finished my 5 hour run last night in one shot - made it in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Worse than a lot of people, I know, but it seemed pretty fast to me. My friend and I then spent a lot of time shooting at each other with rockets.
We've unlocked pretty much all the good stuff except the Noise Filter now, I think it's about time to move on or maybe do a Veteran run.

I heard I can unlock Pro on all chapters by playing with someone online who's already unlocked Pro? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.
Don't want to beat the game on Veteran just to have to beat it again on Pro. Already played it on Normal co-op.

I found that one on my first run.
when the level started I went up the tower and thought, well hiding one all the way over there would be cool, I looked and there it was. I didnt have the all the way zoomed in sniper rifle at the time so I couldnt get it until later.
One more to go and I find them all on my own.

In no order:
Chapter 3-1 getting out of that one area on the boat where they trap you , hell that whole free roam area is fantastic.
Conveyor belt fight, YES. You are moving along a belt with freaking explosive canisters everywhere, majini throwing dynomite from above, shield guys coming from the front, awesome.
Spinning elevator fight, how awesome was this, a spinning platform and with loads of enemies you have to shoot at a distance. Lining up that shot in a sniper rifle while spinning is so rewarding.
Giant laser room in chapter 4-2, having to avoid a super death beam is always awesome. Makes it even better when you can take out the laser controllers, loved finding that out.
Great balls of fire, all of a sudden a room fills with huge rolling flaming balls, and you have to get around them to the door in a certain time, its so short but awesome.
Licker rooms, hell all of them. My favorite is the one where its two long hallways and you can walk past them as they crawl up the ceiling and stuff. Tense stuff, of course you can never really get passed them without alerting them. Licker temple entrance was awesome but a huge pain.
Pre final wesker battle against the two reaper and two chaingun guys. The first time I played it I actually killed the chaingun guys without ever going to the turret.
Execution ground, hey I am on a raft, I wonder if anything is going to... EAT ME AHHHH!
Chapter 2-3 AWESOME.
Puzzle room, very well done.
And of course the boss fights especially Wesker ones.

Not that the game should, or ever will make complete sense, but why were they disposing of fuel tanks in a blast furnace? I have two theories on why they might do this. One, maybe the energy released can power the lab. And two, they're getting rid of all their red explosive barrels so Majini won't be abused by resourceful BSAA agents.
Both are lol-worthy.
Whoa, I didn't know that! So you can stop the lasers... When you say "take out the laser controllers," do you mean you can shoot somebody controlling the solar lenses, or do you shoot the solar lens itself?
Disabling the lasers and finally memorizing the mirror puzzle solution would make 4-2 far easier!

Don't have Chris use the same weapons as Sheva. That way you don't have to fight for the same ammo drops, and you'll also be able to upgrade different weapons. This is just the same strategy as if you played with the AI. I've never had any problems with Sheva AI, and I'm fairly sure it's because I made her use different weapons as well as I regularly updated her weapons too (and not just mine).

Those one-hit kill bugs are total bullshit. Only a retarded fuckstick would actually think those were a good idea to put into a game where you can't move and shoot at the same time.

That's... the point.Red Blaster said:
Don't let them get close, shoot the weak spots and you will stun the enemy. Accuracy trumps sheer firepower in this case by a wide margin.
The one-hit kill enemy has been in RE4-style games since... Well, RE4. Just run to give yourself elbow room, then turn and exploit their weak points.Red Blaster said:
So, how much media is available on Versus mode? I'm itching to check out screens and footage, if available. Is there a set date for the Versus mode DLC yet?

The retarded AI is the problem. Sheva turns into a headless chicken when facing those things. I can't afford to babysit her when I'm constantly on the run watching my own ass.
The amount of boneheaded design decisions really start to show as you get near the end of the game.

I'm sure I did
but I didn't got the achievement. What I did wrong?.
the stabbing QTE to Wesker

Because that's not who you have to stab. Go play Mercenaries, Research lab.
Relaxed Muscle said:
Wrong fight.
You need to inflict the damage on the 5-3 Wesker fight. Instead of running away for 7 minutes, hide in the back area and he'll lose track of you. Shoot him with to hell and eventually he'll kneel down and it'll end the fight and give the achievement.
Or the licker stab...depends which achievement you mean.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Relaxed Muscle said:
you need to do that for the
licker
No no no. Do you have a shotgun? Run straight up to the Reaper, press up against it, and just aim down and fire at it, blasting one white bulb and then the other as it staggers. I've killed every Reaper save those in Mercs this way (in Mercs, it's tough to do with your back exposed). In fact, I never even knew the Reapers had an insta-kill attack until I'd already beat the game and read up on people's thoughts here. The trick is to never let up. The Reapers are sloooooow; just hammer their weakpoint at point-blank range with a power weapon and you'll be good to go. They'll be so preoccupied with you that they won't bother Sheva.Red Blaster said:
And on 6-3, when two of them appear, make sure you're by the right lever when they appear (by "right lever" I mean your right when facing the bulkhead), and from here they'll approach you single-file, unable to attack you or Sheva from any angle except the front, allowing you to pick them off one at a time. Piece o' cake.

Noted on the reaper killing method, may be handy in Mercs. Bigger problem now, I'm at the fucking final boss and have died over dozen times trying to blast this cunt. The QTE grab doesn't work because I don't have a full-life bar so I die every time and I have barely any ammo left.

Sheva will also have access to a green herb when she runs down her side. Get it from her and combine them.

Ok, for the trophies for beating the game on higher difficulties....can i just go to chapter select, choose the last level, then choose the higher difficulty and beat it? Will that count?

Ok, thanks!!! But by then, you will (theoretically) have at least one weapon maxed out so it should be easier....

Ran the licker hallway in 5-2 for an hour or so today and got the "take it to the max" achievement. Did a BSAA emblem run yesterday (I used youtube, =p) and various other achievements. Got 810 pts currently, 25hrs played, 53%(?) done. Only need an S rank in 3-4 levels to get the last figurine.
Amazing how you just want to keep playing and unlocking stuff in this game. They really nailed the "replayability" factor.

That doesn't help on the chapter where you have to kill the Gigante from the back of the truck. That sucks ass on harder difficulties. One hit from him does like 50 percent damage, and worrying about the dudes with molotov cocktails sucks shit as well.

Done, thanks.
Finally beat the game. What is it with Japanese devs and the multiple endings? LOL. Took me about 12 hours on my first play thru. Let me ask you guys, lately I am noticing that when I get to the end of a game, I just want the game to end. I like, never enjoy game endings anymore. It's sad. Anyone else experience the same thing?

WOW
Talk about Giant Enemy Crab and Targeting Weak point for Massive damage...
love the game so far, best story telling in the series IMO

The whole bit about the "exploding barrel factory" got me thinking about another odd detail, not just in RE5 but the RE universe in general. The heroes are dealing with bioterrorists... Who never use the far more efficient tactic of killing everyone through an airborne pathogen, but we'll ignore that for now... And yet our heroes never get ill, or bother to wear latex gloves or gas masks when walking around clinics full of mutagens and experiements gone wrong... What, does Chris take the biggest Flintstone vitamin known to man?
Oh, and congrats Sinatar, good job on playing the game the right way. I hope to do the same. I'm taking my time; no rush to exhaust everything this game has to offer!

There's only one smart man in Resident Evil when it comes to that:Neiteio said:
I guess some of the BSAA soldiers wore gas maks and protective gear too, but yeah you're right the main characters never do.
