yeah... and the cursor is visible the whole time on my PC (apart from when it's hiding behind something it shouldn't like Chris's hair) whether i'm 'aiming' or not. same as it was in the wii version.Ceebs said:
i've got the cursor set to floating hoping to ape the Wii set up.

That sucks. The loading bar is really annoying me but even with the latest ATI drivers the benchmark still dropped to 20fps in the third area so I can't really use DX10.

it's a 3D lenticular with two scenes depending on how you look at it. from a bit to either side it's the regular cover of Chris and Sheva back to back, from head on it's the chainsaw Majini with the bag over his head with the chainsaw pointing right at you.Ogs said:
it's just stuck to the front of the case with that plasticky gummy glue stuff that they stick things on magazine covers with. i took mine off and i'm trying to think of where to put it, cause it's kind of cool.

I thought we were mant to get a steel box in Europe but it's just normal packaging 
Anyway, No Mercy mode is honestly mental. I got 150,000 points on my first go (I'm out of practice) and got an A rank. I don't know what the proper score boundaries are yet. It really is disappointing that it's single player only, with co-op it could have been one of the funnest things ever. I wonder what their reasoning for it is.

I have some questions for the trophy/achievement junkies on this one...
1. Any tips for getting the "Be the Knife" trophy? Difficulty setting, location, etc? What exactly do you have to do? Deflect a crossbow bolt? Or can you deflect an axe with the knife?
2. Has anyone actually gotten the trophy where you get a headshot with the enemy jumping mid air? Are they serious on this one?
3. What scene can you kill a driver in the armored car? Is it during
4. How do you get the back to back to back combos? I shoot an enemy in the arm to start the Hook, but I never get the option for another attack. Do I have to shoot the enemy in the specific place between each physical attack and that is the combo?
Thank you!

With #2, it's easier than it sounds. I went to Public Assembly and waited for the enemies to drop until I got the trophy.
3. Yes, and it's a bit tricky too because you really got to look out for that person.
4. You might be doing this already, but you and your partner need to sandwich an enemy, and one of you will start the combo. So basically you are tossing the enemy back and forth through your combo, which results in some special moves for both characters.
CrankyJay said:
1.
The part where you have to protect the army guy so he can activate the elevator. once you get on the elvator and arrive on the second level, take the latter up. Once your there- just before another set of latters; toward's your right, there will be a little area where you can stand. 3 guy's will come out - just across from you, and shoot arrows at you. Just time your swings of you knife correctly and you should get it.
2.
this one is real easy, go to the area where the alligator jumps up and eats a man. this is the same area where you have to dodge alligators while on a tiny raft. use the shot gun and aim towards the head just as they jump over the gap.
3. yes, your correct
4. this is easier to do with a co-op partner.
This is how I do it, there are plenty of ways to do 1 and 2,CrankyJay said:
1. You should be able to do on any difficulty fairly easy (other than Professional) as long as you have the bulletproof vest on. I did it in 2-1, at he section after you jump across the damaged bridge and have the truck charging you. Right after the truck, a bunch of enemies should charge you. Kill all the enemies but one archer, stand back, and try to hit, it, adjust distance if necessary.
2. Play as BSAA Jill in The Mercenaries (if you have beaten the game, and have her unlocked). Using her handgun. Move to some location that requires enemies to jump across a gap (I did it on Public Assembly, on the roof of the building next to the scaffolding).
3. Yes.
4. It's easiest to do it while playing another player. The basic idea is to ping-pong an enemy with melee attacks.
1. Shoot the enemy in the arm (make sure it's actually stunned by it, i.e. grabbing its arm)
2. Hit it with a melee attack
3. Have your partner hit it with another melee attack (make sure if you hit the enemy from the front, your partner hits it in the back, or vice versa)
4. Hit the enemy with the one last melee.

hey it is still possible to get the combo trophy by yourself. AI can be surprisingly responsive at times, especially with combos.
Has anyone completed the game playing as Sheva? I find that Chris is often in my view when trying to shoot an enemy, it's annoying, but I figure you need to play as her to get some trophies
, is this safe to assume?
such as the gatling gun on the back of the hummer and maybe some treasures where assist jump is used

I used B because I hate the right analog stick and wanted to avoid it as much as possible.Curufinwe said:

I ended up using default for the 360 version, is the default pc pad setup the same?
Gah, that sucks! I liked how the bow had no sights whatsoever. I think I'll just be sticking to gamepad controls even though I'll lose any competitive edge for mercenaries.Baloonatic said:
Yes, type d is default for consoles and PC versions. Unless you're in Japan, then it defaults to type a.Diablohead said:
I used type a, that's the control scheme I like the most.Curufinwe said:

Not sure if I could go back to gamepad aiming, popping heads as Jill in Mercenaries is such a breeze with a mouse.
Is it possible to get other characters working in single player? Like Battle Suit Jill.
The mod I had setup would easily allow for Wesker STARS and Jill Battlesuit instead of Wesker midnight and Jill BSAA. I'm trying to fix bugs in general for that mod. Like Jill is lefthanded no matter what, and I can't get male characters replaced by female characters and the other way around. I had a bug with cutscenes not showing properly but I almost fixed that now, just need to find one more animation file.Baloonatic said:
I got a huge setback yesterday with my graphics card exploding. And bleh, I haven't even had time to sit down and play the PC version and finish it. I'm only up to 2-1.

Keep us updated though, your work is appreciated.And I know I'm whining about it but why the hell isn't No Mercy co-op enabled?! Arghhh.

i used A too. D is pretty much useless to be honest, cause you still have to steer the same way when running, and it's not like you're walking around that often.Sectus said:
Wii controls remain the best over all though... but i'll probably play floating cursor mouse and keys on the PC version when i'm not playing on my tv if i can't get them working.
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2087804&postcount=51 - Someone made some good comparison screenshots with the ENB mod on and off.
Personally I much prefer how the game normally looks. That mod kills the lighting and atmosphere. And makes indoor areas look washed out.

Is anyone with an ATI card running this at a decent framerate on DX10? I'm still getting the same performance I was with the benchmark even with the latest Catalyst drivers. DX9 mode is awful, you have to tolerate a 90 second load time every time you first load up the game or alt-tab out.

The RE5 engine still amazes me with it's lighting and visuals, and that it runs so damn well on a pc.Sectus said:

Will my scores be uploaded to the leaderboards if I'm not connected to GFWL? I want to freeze the No Mercy timer with a trainer and see how long I last, but I don't want to fuck up the leaderboards for people who are playing properly.

Runs great here and loads extremely quickly with a 4870 1GB. I haven't tried DX9 mode, but I get a perfectly smooth framerate in DX10 with max settings, 1920x1200.
So, is the "floating mouse" control scheme described earlier in this thread anything like the RE4 Wii control scheme, or what? I've read and watched as many reviews as I could find, but I still can't figure out what it is, or how it's different from the regular keyboard and mouse control scheme.
Any PC gamers here with the game that could enlighten me?
