The d-pad is shitty yes but if you can't press any of the cardinal directions on the D-pad for a fuckin weapon select your are one uncoordinated mother fucker :lol
Are you saying you NEVER hit the diagonals by accident when using the 360 d-pad? I've got 2 specific problems with the d-pad. The d-pad may shift a small amount to a specific direction so it quite simply hits the ring around it and doesn't register the movement at all. Or the more common problem is that I try to hit a specific direction, but it goes in one of the nearby directions instead. For instance, sometimes when I quickly press left, I accidentally hit the upleft diagonal and the game decides to register that as "up". It even happens sometimes when using the 360 dashboard.C- Warrior said:

I've had the Xbox d-pad register the wrong hit, it was only a minor inconvenience, but it has happened.
It's because, you could be hitting the left part of the cross, but you hit the top of that so it's really like doing a diagonal. The game sees it has you pressing up though.

Yeah, it does happen. A very slight upward push of my thumb can shift the D-pad from cardinal direction to diagonal. Sure it works 95% of the time, but that there is even a small chance of failure exists is annoying. I've been killed several times for unintentionally bringing a rifle to a shotgun fight.Sectus said:
Finished the 1st chapter on solo Professional. Sheva doesn't get much chance to revive me if I die anymore BUT she's still pulling her weight if you ask me. I'm taking her to the end of chapter 6 in order to PROVE that she's a decent A.I.
On Chapter 1-2 in Professional I got my very first S ranking. :lol Perhaps having unlimited ammo for the S&W 500 and the Hydra for the first time had something to do with it.
It really is a different game when you are trying to get through the levels quickly and aren't consumed with scouring the levels for treasure.
I'm just so impressed with the replayability of this game.

The replayability is good, but to be honest, I'm getting kind of tired of it. Farming for cash just gets boring after awhile. Using infinite weapons removes a lot of the fun as well. Searching for emblems is more of a chore than anything else, considering some of the ridiculous locations for them, and I don't want to use a guide. Not only that, but most importantly I found myself getting bored of the level designs far faster than I did with RE4.
I still think it's a great game. But, at the same time, you have people who play through every chapter in every difficulty, collect all the treasures and BSAA emblems, upgrade all the weapons, unlock every bonus feature, play the shit out of Mercenaries, and still say that they're coming back for more. In my case, I just can't see it. The game's fun factor just isn't as long-lasting for me.

In my case, the replayability right now is mercs mode, versus mode and trying random stuff in story mode. Random stuff being something like completing a subchapter in the game using only rotten eggs.Rash said:
I never use infinite weapons unless it's for a speedrun, I definitely think that ruins most of the fun.
GuessWho said:
So far it looks like ALL of the weapons have something going for them. If this is your very first playthrough then I would suggest you simply upgrade the first four weapons you find in the game. Doing this unlocks a number of more powerful weapons that you will come to appreciate in later play-throughs.
- The M92F is a solid pistol for Chris what with it's 3-star critical rating. That means that head-shots will result in instant death almost 40% of the time. It's damage is decent but best of all it can eventually hold 100 bullets. That's two slots worth of ammo. Fully upgrading the M92 unlocks the M93 (a very quirky but effective weapon.)
- The Ithaca is very well rounded shotgun with decent damage, a critical perk, and it holds 25 rounds of ammunition - which is the best in its class. Fully upgrading the Ithaca unlocks the ballsalicious Hydra.
- The S75 is a bolt-action rifle. That might be a drawback for some but it does have the most damage of any rifle, so it's usually a one-shot kill anyway. It also eventually holds 50 rounds, also a leader in its class. Pound for pound the S75 is the best rifle in the game despite the bolt-action. Upgrading the S75 unlocks the powerful longbow.
- The SW29 is a fine enough magnum what with piercing, 12 rounds, and damage in the thousands. Not the finest magnum but easily good enough on your first play-through. Fully upgrading it unlocks the ridiculous M500.
- the V61Z submachine gun is great for your support co-op player. It has double critical perk and holds 300 rounds. (Do you see a pattern here? The initial, first tier weapons all have the best ammo capacity which is a godsend when you first play and want to collect as much as you can.) Sheva can use this weapon but she tends to shoot for the body and so the crit. perk is wasted a bit. Upgrading the V61Z unlocks the gatling gun.
For Sheva I find her best weapon to be the MP5 and/or the HK pistol. Both have piercing which suits her body-shot shooting style. She's also pretty nifty with a rifle and is excellent with the longbow. With both she will consistantly hit targets that aren't easily detected.

Here, here!! I'm playing through pro now for my last trophy needed to get my platinum. Sheva seems to be a mixed bag so far in this mode...sometimes shes great, other times she seems useless.
Oh and THOSE FRICKEN DOGS!!!!! HATE THEM!!! So much more of a pain in Prod mode...
Does anyone have any general tips for tackling pro mode solo?

Complete run through 4-1. Takes about 13-15 minutes, has 45-50k in gold and gems and you get exchange points at the end.omg rite said:
Another one is the hallway full of lickers in 5-2, there's a checkpoint directly before you can try to exploit (I haven't tried this one yet, though).

5-2, the licker hallway. Kill them all, collect the gems they drop, then save/quit. Then just choose 'continue' and play that section again. Repeat. Profit.

Played it this weekend with a friend on 360 co-op.
It's fun, though a bit repetitive. Got to the voodoo men/boat part.
Can't say I'm much impressed by the story, the graphics are great though.
The hell they did to Chris and Jill though? :s
Sure doesen't look like the guys from the last games.
Do miss "Hello stranger what are you buying!".

QFT: You can easily make 10k+ each run and it takes about 5 mins a run. Especially nice if you have an unlimited ammo gun to use too.

cvxfreak said:
Yep got that....and infinites on many others too. Im finding that Sheva alot of times will get her self hit quite easily and as you know, in pro mode, 1 hit puts you at 'danger' already.
Are there specific levels in pro where i should set her to attack as opposed to cover?
OriginX said:
i had originally believed that Attack mode was worthless as well but it's actually quite useful in certain section when doing Pro solo. she saved my butt when i had her in Attack mode. sometimes, she's way too conservative with her ammo if i had her in Cover during parts where i'm being attacked by a large group of guys. if you need the firepower, don't be afraid to put her in Attack mode.
Don't give the AI any health items, hold them all yourself. The AI can be slow with reacting, and the spray's effect takes about a half second to kick in (a short amount of time that becomes huge because of the small window for rescue). Resuscitating is instant though, and makes both players invincible.sloppyjoe_gamer said:
In the early chapters, wear a melee vest (won't save you from most hits, but will save you from thrown weapons), and a bulletproof vest, if there are archers in the chapter section.
If possible, try to disarm enemies by shooting their forearms. This will usually make them drop the weapon (though they will frequently pull one out immediately after, if they recover). The grab attack is much easier to deal with then melee attacks.

Great tips you guys, thanks!!
Both Sheva and Chris have a melee vest and bulletproof vest, so i should be ok there. I will try setting Sheva to Attack mode and see if i have any better luck.
The main stage Im worried about is where youre on the machine gun fighting that huge fricken troll thing. It gave me quite a fight in veteran, and the thought of fighting that thing in pro mode is making me lose sleep at night....:lol

Don't bother. Just try to play 5-3. You'll see.
LiK said:plus infinite hydra. the rocket launcher ain't the best for close quarters combat.
How about M3? I ask because I got infinite ammo for it already.
Also, A.I. Sheva changes weapons to a more deadly one if she's set to attack. I always wondered why she doesn't use that rifle I gave her until I changed her A.I.
sloppyjoe_gamer said:
dont even worry about that Troll dude in Pro solo. i beat him on my 2nd try. just play as Sheva instead of Chris. the Chris AI fuckin rules. i was worried like you until i followed someone's advice here and played as Sheva instead.
btw, i heard it's way harder in Prop co-op cuz of the QTE stuff. which is why people have been bitching about it so much.
Returners said:How about M3? I ask because I got infinite ammo for it already.
M3 will work fine. i used it for my Veteran run. from my experience, the only difference is that the M3 doesn't have as many 1 shot kills in Pro like with the Hydra.

Nice podcast! I like that you jumped right into the interview in the podcast. Most podcasts start with lots of chitchat, which is sometimes okay but I listen to far too many podcasts as it is.MiamiWesker said:
Kinda humorous to hear Chris Kramer claim Barry is dead and his reasoning was that's how he thought the game ended. He said Barry was dead in another interview as well, although he didn't give any explanation there. Based on RE5 which lists Rebecca AND Barry as survivors of the RE1 incident I think it's safe to say they're both alive.
I think the whole "lack of survival horror" topic is an interesting one, but far too much time was spent on it. And a few of the statements was just a little irritating. Like hearing RE was turning into Gears of War, or how RE5 did the least amount of additions to the series when compared to previous titles (which is absolutely absurd if you compare RE1->2->3). Chris didn't really seem up to the task anyway, some of his statements about how RE4/5 removed some classic featues (limited ammo and one-hit kills for instance) is a bit wrong since we still have those features.
Bumping this for Lik, who PM'd me asking where all the pics went, and for the 30 seconds of trouble I went through to rehost it:
