I can think of like... 2 puzzles in RE4.
Guts Of Thor
Thorax of Odin
I'm starting to get really hyped for this. I love the fact that spring break for me is all next week so I'll actually have time to play this.
Can someone put my fears to rest about Mercenaries mode? I haven't unlocked it yet. For the different characters, without spoiling anything, do they at least have different starting equipment, running speed, and health like they did in RE4? That gave the minigame such depth in that incarnation.

No worries. The level at which I'm mad at you is lower than the amount of puzzles in RE5.
One of my friends got the game today
and we got through the first 3 chapters together. The only real complaint I have is the utterly awful and disappointing
. Otherwise it's pretty much more RE4, which is AWESOME. Seriously, there are more enemies at any given time and there are more frequent mobs but it's no more a straight action game than 4 was. I'm replaying 4 on professional right now and the pacing and intensity of combat is about the same. There are plenty of times where we were solving co-op environmental puzzles or exploring expansive areas searching for pieces of a crest to unlock a door. These are the kind of puzzles I prefer over abstract tile sliding or symbol matching deals.
It's still about 4 days until the thing lands in my part of the woods. Now that I've had a nice big taste it's gonna be excrutiating. D:
through somewhat illicit means >_>
Gigante turret fight

Yeah the
is the only thing about the game that doesn't settle with me. Just seems pointless especially since
.
new El Gigante fight
you fought not one, but two of those bastards at the same time in RE4 w/out the assistance of hardcore weaponry (sans the rocket launcher of course). It's just been there, done that, nothing scary because we've been in much worse circumstances

So is it true you can't change the difficulty when you first play online co-op?

Seemed to me they just wanted to have a cool boss for the end of the rail sequence, but didn't want to reuse something already in the rest of the game. I thought it was pretty fun, and it might also be a testbed to see how well a RE4 enemy would work in a rail shooting sequence, no doubt to use in RE UC2! lolz.
I had a couple of boss battles spoiled for me recently, but I must say that they've amped my hype up considerably.
I don't expect this game to polish my trousers and toussle my hair, so I hope I'm satisfied by it.
The only thing which could ruin the experience is the poor AI of that sultry minx, Sheva.

Progressing nicely through Mercenaries. I finally got to play co-op with a random Japanese player; we both kinda sucked and had to work hard to clear the levels with an A ranking, but we did it and now I'm on the seventh stage. Just one more to go!

It's at the bit where Chris throws Sheva over the building in the Shanty Town.Duck Amuck said:
spoilers, I guess:
when you see the button prompt to trigger the assist move, do a 360 and look up and a little bit to the right.
Being able to look around in Type C sure is useful. =p
Thanks to online duo mode, with the help of a few Japanese players, I beat the shit out of Mercenaries and now just have the last stage,
, to go. It's an original stage with a modified boss character, based in a location you'll end up at when you get to the end of the game. Everyone is unlocked but a variation of
. I think Tribal Sheva is the most-interesting of all the Mercs because of her bow. It's got unlimited ammo, extremely fast reload time, and kills all normal enemies in one hit, but the trade off is that there's no aiming reticule! You can also get this weapon to use in the main game, but only Sheva can use it (so after one play-through, you can too since you can then play as Sheva). You can buy it if you upgrade a rifle to the maximum setting.
Duo Mercs is so fucking awesome; with one guy I played with, we kept things going in the seventh (ship) stage for a good 5-7 minutes, getting over 115,000 points. That's still A rank though; I'd really like to know how the people with S and SS got those!
I'd actually love to see more Mercs DLC now, with new stages and some added characters. Another AWESOME option would be letting you use
in the main game.

I just finished a run through of Public Assembly in the demo. Fuck, I love the level design of that area so much. Mercenaries is going to be fucking amazing.

I hated the demo repeatedly because of her AI. Tonight I got my brother over with his 360, we got him hooked up to a monitor, and we played co-op in the same room. It was good stuff. Both of the demo maps, which I couldn't get through originally, we went through in one go. The game is massively improved with a human partner, and I will no longer have to be cautious in my optimism for it. It can't come soon enough.Sidzed2 said:

How is the game from a story perspective? Are people satisfied with the amount of backstory, Weskers plotline and everything else they alluded to in all the trailers, that this game would finally bring answers and resolution to a bunch of questions.

I only played the first merc stages (no coop), but I know that 60.000 points grants you a S ranks. Is S the max rank or is SS?.

I'd like to point out real quick that while I dislike the wrestlemania-izing of chris, I think sheva is great character, I love her accent, her costume, and I think she's very nice to look at. wish the game was JUST her, no co-op, no chris.

non-spoiler but tagging just in case ..
beat the game once and unlock the ability to play as sheva in SP, playing as her is WAY more fun compared to Chris, she moves noticeably faster, climbs up ladders and stuff faster, and she takes up half the screen space Chris does. Also her bee-hind is pretty nice to stare at.
the only drawback is that she pushes things a bit slower

the starting load-out is completely different for every single one. The individual-character meelee attack animations are probably the same, i haven't played around much in it i'm sure someone else can confirm this.
wesker has the ability to super dash if you hold the taunt buttons for long
