Wesker: "You can't hide FOREVAH!"

Wesker: "You know Chris, I don't see myself as a king..."

Chris: "Oh shit, more crazy talk coming up"

Wesker: "I see myself as a GOD! and even gods bow before Kings!"

He says all sorts of crazy shit during that battle. :lol

You have the epic, One-Winged-Angel-esque music... and then Wesker's dialogue. It's as though RE5's asking you if you'd like more cheese with your wine.

Tribal Sheva is such an awesome costume...untill you looke at her feet. :/

As a foot person, I sadly agree. The textures on her feet and high-heels blend together. It's baffling when you look at how sharply defined her hands are.

Not sure if we need it -- Jill probably just contacted her former employers, the BSAA, who sent Josh -- but it WOULD make for an interesting sidequest.

I wonder if Capcom will have any DLC for RE5 to show at Captivate?

gawd, that word from Wesker is fuckin stuck in my head considering how many times i replayed it during my multiple runs :lol

 

[akilshohen]

We just need playable Josh for the game to be complete.

 

[Neiteio]

On the topic of DLC missions, I'd love one where the co-op characters are Wesker and cloak-and-mask Jill. It could be set shortly before the events of RE5, and show how Wesker brainwashed Jill and what happened on one of their early missions. Wesker and Jill could have all sorts of stylish melee moves exclusive to the mission (as overpowered as the devs want!), and the story could flesh out the roles of Excella and Irving, not to mention provide more insight into Tricell.

Give me this, Cappy, and the DLC will sell like hotcakes for complete, console, saachuraeshun.

We just need playable Josh for the game to be complete.

You mean aside from the two playable versions of her in Mercs and Versus, right? I agree.

 

[LiK]

yea, guess who kept saving Chris and Sheva's asses? that was all Josh. he deserves to be playable! amirite?

 

[Neiteio]

Josh has to be DLC at some point. He has the animations, the moves. Just have HQ be his contact in Mercs and Versus and make him available for play in those modes. I will pay, Capcom! And without the slightest reluctance, as I've already got way more than my sixty bucks worth outta this game.

I wonder how well Versus sold? If Versus sold as well as I suspect it did, that's VERY good incentive for Capcom to roll out new characters, pitching them as additions to both Mercs and Versus. Of course, Capcom would probably force everyone to update the game if the characters have new assets; after all, if you're playing with somebody who doesn't own the character, they still need to see it!

But that's the only obstacle, methinks.

 

[akilshohen]

Josh should be Josh's contact just as much as the characters can face their other costumes.

 

[Neiteio]

When you put it that way, yeah, they wouldn't need to swap in new HQ soundbites.

Still waiting for a Versus match with four Tribal Shevas in Village.

 

[C- Warrior]

I have a question on Versus.

I feel I'm pretty descent, and I alternate using between Jill BSAA, W.Midnight, and W. Stars on Mercs, and Slayers.

Howeve, on the Survivor modes I see no reason not to use W. Stars since he has the flat-out strongest pistol, and essentially everyone starts with a pistol? (not into submachine guns).

So, is there any reason to choose Jill BSAA over Wesker Stars on Survivor. I like Jill bSAA because of her handgun (One shot to the head kill) which makes her good for mercs/slayers...but what about survivor?

That's probably why you need 50,000 exchange points to unlock STARS Wesker and less than 10,000 to get BSAA Jill. The Samurai Edge is a beast.

I don't think there's any inherent strength to using BSAA Jill in Survivor, but in my experience, my (relatively well-played) STARS Wesker has been soundly defeated by a number of BSAA Jills, so it's not as uphill a battle as you may think, not to mention good knowledge of the map can help you locate the strong weapons quickly.

How do you feel about Versus? For me it was WELL worth the $5. Cannot emphasize that enough.

 

[Sinn Fein]

If anyone out there is looking for a coop partner, I'd like to volunteer my services. I guess I'm most interested in playing with people through the game if they're doing it for the first time or doing the higher difficulties (or both) or speed running on any difficulty.

I don't mind if you don't have powered up weapons or are going through the game to enjoy it, I'd be happy just to play a long and escort (infinite ammo on is probably still good, but whatever). I won't use powered weapons either if we're just playing through and you don't want.

If anyone is interested I'm on EST (East Coast) and will be online tonight, starting in maybe 60-90 mins. PM me for PSN ID.

Just thought I'd drop in to congratulate RE5 and Capcom on nearly 1.5 million units sold in America in march. Is that the biggest debut for the series in America?

They deserve every bit of it. Excellent game.

1.5 million in the US alone...looks like Wesker's plan worked.

Impressive numbers, but we've got a ways to go before every person on earth has a copy. We'll have to reach the optimal altitude and deploy copies into the atmosphere.

I was playing Mercs and I had the cheesy feeling that Wesker could yell his movements ala Sagat


"Tiger Uppercut!"


"Windfall hah!"

"Weeeeeskerrrrr......dashhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Ah, I see. So after exams, you'll play Versus and pass JUDGMENT:

Finally did it. All S ranks, all difficulties. Complete SS ranks in The Mercenaries. Now all there's left is doing stuff like handgun-only runs.

I never had too many problems with the AI in professional (with Attack Reaction off and giving the AI no health items, since resuscitating is quicker)... until Wesker. Jesus Christ, I had to restart almost 10 times because he got hit by easily avoidable moves and even missed QTE dodges, something the AI had never a problem with before.

 

[Shinz Kicker]

me and sinn had a pretty fun night even though i sucking it up. im under 2.5 hours though for veteran.

Yeah, that was fun. I definitely wasn't playing hot either, not having run fast on Vet much. It's tiring too, speeding through. We could definitely improve on those times, but it's a start. If I wasn't so buried in stuff these days I'd be right back at it.

 

[Kard8p3]

Seems pretty hard to get a big combo in team slayers. The most we've been able to get is 32.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

The game is much, much hotter than I thought it would be. I was turned off by the demo, but the full game is turning out to be one of the best action games I've ever played, and definitely a GOTY candidate at this point. Took a while to get used to the controls, but it's all good now.

 

[vermadas]

You know, I was really looking forward to this game. I have an immense backlog and put this game in front of the line to play through it. And although there were some really fun set pieces I can't help but feel disappointed by the game when I try to measure it up to the standards of being a sequel to RE4. I haven't yet finished it, I just got past the Wesker/Jill fight at the end of 5-3.

I almost quit the game during the

OMG spam the A button to remove the chest thing "fight" with Jill.

QTEs used to not bother me but its implementation here just annoyed the shit out of me.

Spoiler

Am I not mashing the A button fast enough? Why is this not working? Oh wait, the game just wants me to perform this action 5 - 10 times! What fun!

I wanted to play through it by myself and then with my friend on co-op on veteran. I'm not sure if I'll want to play through it again...

I generally hate all the QTE's since RE4. I don't think they're really necessary. I'd of rather just watched the Leon/Krauser knife fight then stare at the bottom of the screen waiting for prompts missing half the action. Shit I don't even like wiggling the thumbstick to get enemies off of me. Not into sloppy mechanics like that. Shake this, wiggle that, etc. Still love both games though.

and it was just as much of a push-over as the rest (sans the chainsaw bastards)

 

[Miburou]

Why are people still spoiler tagging stuff when there are GIFs in this thread that are more revealing?

And that thing with Jill is not QTE. The buttons never change, and there's no narrow window to enter a command. It's a context sensitive button not different from how you open doors or bust throw windows in the game.

I do agree that the QTE that are in the game are annoying, and I've hated that gameplay mechanic ever since Shenmue. The only game I tolerate it in is Ryu ga Gotoku 3 when performing some of the heat moves, mainly because it's not totally random.

Jesus, the lag in this game can be really bad some times. Was playing Mercs with somebody from the US, and I would shoot an enemy and they would just stand there for 5 seconds before reacting.
