I thought someone confirmed a few pages back that the US version is censored when it comes to the chainsaw decaps?
Shit the 360 version is better then PS3 (framerate and textures!) one ughhhhh~~~ Sigh I have to double dip. It's too awesome to pass up RE5 !

ship deck is so hard. I can't crack the score necessary to get an A. Me and this one guy got like 80k the one round and with like 12 seconds he got his head chopped off.
I have midterms tomorrow I need to study for tonight but I may give myself another few tries before I go to bed. So addicting.

For anyone who has the full game, is there any way to bring up a full map of the area you're in or is it like the demo where you only get the mini-map?

I was playing Mercenaries the other day, and I was battling one of those secondary plagas that still look human but just have a mutated top. Basically, it "bit" my whole torso off, and my player characters lower body just fell to the ground and twitched.Captain N said:
I was surprised, since I thought it was totally censored. =/

No game for me pre-launch. Oh well, the street date is tomorrow, so I'm not really fussed.
Wait, does the U.S. version have more female enemies? They *are* in the Asian version, but there's only a few of them, and there is even a reason given in a memo in the game. If that was censored for some reason, they put a lot of work into doing that.

Did you find the area you can zipline to that has two rocket launchers? It took several tries, but I was playing duo with someone last night and with those rockets, we finally got he points needed to hit A-rank.
And the next level...MAN.

I dont think the game is anything below a 9 thanks to the awesome co-op, it's really fun.

Oh man this is killing me. GAME have dispatched the strategy guide but is still waiting to release the game for packing.
DON'T LET ME DOWN GUYS. I've never pre-ordered a game from there that hasn't arrived a day before release so they better not start now.

I just started playing it on Veteran and I am wondering if I will unlock the achievements for Normal and Amateur also by beating it on Veteran since the times for the chapters are taken for each individual difficulty setting...

i distinctly remember someone posting in this topic earlier that beating on veteran also gives the awards for normal and amateur, so yeah, it should.

So I;m planning to play a solo run through on Vet for my first run through. To those who have finished, how is it? I'm looking for a good challenge (like I've said before, I want to be afraid of the Executioner, I don't want to take him down in less than a minute), but I'm worried the Sheva AI might get annoying if she dies quicker on vet.

Rez said:
i'd suggest you don't go on veteran the first time through .. the enemy damage cap is just WAY too high and you'll be dying in two or three hits .. and the AI obviously, it can get separated and get killed really quickly in veteran ..
you should play on normal with the AI, then do a veteran run with a person.

Ah, okay, fair enough. I've been hearing a lot about how easy the game is on Normal though, and I don't want to just cruise through the game.chandoog said:
I'll give both difficulties a try out when I get the game. Thanks for the advice.
WTF @ the character model in this SPOILER-FILLED, NSFW URL: http://i42.tinypic.com/opsrqo.jpg
That character model appears in that game as is. YIKES!

I notice that in one of the cutscenes, crazy :lol
Finished chapter 2 last night, difficulty does ramp up after chapter 1. Seems like there is a lot of herbs/ammo around. I am not a great RE player by any means, but the only time I died was during the QTE that I wasn't expecting.. I find Sheva's AI isn't bad. A lot better then I thought it would be.
cvxfreak said:
Yep, you can see it in the cinema in slow motion.
I finished the game today, loved it. It pretty much felt like RE4 in HD so if you don't have a problem with that then you'll eat this game up. My only disappointment comes from the ending, it was a 30 second or so piece of garbage ;/ I had read that it was a meaty ending so I was looking forward to it ever since I got the game on Saturday.

enemy damage cap is doubled. But you get more "style points" for finishing levels.

As in every viral video, this one contains scenes and enemies you probably haven't seen before. So beware! You might want to skip it.

Small achievement question. I am trying to get the "Drive By" achievement and I am at the start of chapter 2-1 (where the truck drives towards you). Is it even possible to get the achievement here because I tried for like 15 min and didn't get it (is this even an armored truck?)
Second, I just can't seem to get the "Headshot while jumping" achievement... is there a trick to it?

Yeah I know I have the drive by achievement but dont remember when I got it. As for the headshot. I just waited till someone jumped at me from a ledge and shot them with the shotgun. BOOM HEADSHOT!

Just beat this game last night (got the game on Saturday ) and overall this game is really a mixed bag on single player. I would be curious to know if people who've played the game through already found that it took a turn for the worse game play wise in chapters 5 and 6. I really loved the first four chapters but those last two.... not even near as fun to play especially the entirety of 6-3.
Specifically,
That said, I can absolutely see this game being a blast on co-op and would highly recommend playing the game that way if anyone has the opportunity to do so.

I really loved the first four chapters but those last two.... not even near as fun to play especially the entirety of 6-3. Specifically,
the gatlin-gun duo and Wesker fights were extremely limited in how you defeat them. I died a dozen times in the final Wesker fight jumping down off the cliff trying to pelt him in the head and back only to have Sheva commit suicide or running out of ammo in the process. Then when I tried fighting him where you start out... 60 seconds and he was down with one magnum hit to the back...WTF I should have been able to do it either way.

I think the fact that co-op is what puts the game in its best form is what gets me the most.
An enjoyable experience is an enjoyable experience, and I look forward to playing co-op with my brother, since we had fun with the demo. That said, it just kind of sucks how Resident Evil 4 was INCREDIBLE as a single-player game, and RE5 is only adequate in comparison.
The idea of Resident Evil needing to be better with a human partner is just bothersome, in a way. I really miss that feeling I had in REmake when I'd be playing alone, at night, with the lights turned off, and it was so creepy and tense, while fun and awesome. Such a memorable experience, and very much differentiated from typical gaming fare. Resident Evil 5's focus on action, especially when the market is flooded with pure-action games today, doesn't help.
I'll still enjoy the game, of course. I already had a blast with the demo. You can say "that's what matters" and I won't disagree. I'm just noting the potential downsides of RE5's direction.
