Is veteran really that much of a step up? I'm playing on Normal, up to 2-1 and haven't died once. Maybe its the beginning of the game that counts too.
Been a fan of the series since day one with the Resident Evil game in the large case and the 'The Punisher'-like Chris in the cover..
And..HOLY ****!! (FUCK!) ..
Awesome game so far...incredible visuals, great sound/music..each chapter looks and feels different than the previous one (starting 3-1 right now)...tons of extras..darn..and that's single player only for now.; plus to top it all constant teases to the overall Resident Evil storyline, and even the loading screens reminding you what happened in the previous years (only game I wish loading screens were longer.. )
Overall exceeded my expectations, thought after the demo I was going to find the game boring and play the first chapter and then go to sleep since I've only slept like 4 hours between yesterday and today (thanks to working at 5AM...).

Sorry for dieing repeatedly on that one enemy during 6-3 Sectus. :lol
Otherwise it was a great run through. I hope you weren't lagging too bad.
Chapters 5 and 6 basically need a human partner in my opinion. The gameplay changes up pretty drastically during certain parts of those chapters, and having to deal with the AI, or rather, the lack of assistance and logical human thought from the AI, makes the whole experience, while still fun, completely different from the amazing experience it is when working together with someone else.
Not quite finished yet. I think I'll have to replay chapter 6, as I accidentally skipped the cutscene just before what I assume is the final encounter, unless someone can link me to it on Youtube or something (which would be greatly appreciated).
Anyway, I'm loving the game. It's hard for me to compare it to RE4, because honestly the experience I'm having with it feels completely different from the one I had with RE4.

The music against jill alone was much better and more dramatic
Some of the boss battles look awesome in HD
These were the boss battles that amazed me with the graphics.
irving fight, you are middle in the sea fighting against a big water thing and it's becoming dark
that big spider thing in the room with all the tubes
The rejected uruboro, when you are using your flamethrower on him, damn best fire graphics ever

A couple (2?) hours in, and I'm loving it.
Lost a alot of money before I figured out upgrading though. I bought a shit load of pistols thinking I was upgrading :lol .
Edit: I had an upgraded pistol in my inventory, and a normal one on Chris. Apparently Chris cant carry two pistols, so cant I just exchange one for the other? I had to sell the normal one to equip Chris with the upgraded one...

On PS3 (same controls on Xbox):
Triangle - Open Inventory
X - Open item menu
Square - Move item
You can equip, give, or combine from the item menu. All in-game. The only think you can't do while playing (you have to actually be at the store) is move items from your reserve inventory, upgrade weapons, or buy/sell stuff.

Of course you can combine stuff, right in your quick inventory window, as per above!

Just got to 2-2. Enjoying it but I can understand those that disapprove of the action-heavy gameplay. Controls aren't an issue for me. The game doesn't play like you need to be able to run and shoot, just like RE4. It has good atmosphere, but I wish there were more quiet, exploratory moments. Sound is amazing though, great use of surround/5.1 and trademark ambient RE music. Running @ 720p over HDMI I have seen no tearing, graphics are outstanding, lighting, character models, etc.
Playing on normal and it seems as easy or easier than RE4 on default. Only played single so far. Sheva hasn't been a problem other than she uses to much ammo, I think. Must just be the old survival/conserve RE instincts, lol. Can't wait to try out co-op and check out the upgrades. So far just been dumping $$$ into upgrading my handgun.

I think he' s talking about doing all that between Chris and Sheva (i.e.Sheva has a green herb, Chris has a red herb choose combine and Chris ends with the Mixed Herd)..instead you have to send (or request) the item to (or from) Sheva; to combine them.Houston3000 said:
Though you can do it in the Management item screen..thing.
I've being playing through RE0, which has its won partner system. It works really well, and one of the best features is that you can switch between the two characters at any time. You can even control both characters at the same time, using the two sticks.
Is there a reason you can't switch between the characters in RE5 when playing alone? Is there some point in the game where this would break something?

I got the last copy at blockbuster just now (rented PS3 version). The guy infront of me was asking for a copy also but I had called earlier to reserve mine I felt bad when they told him they were sold out so I waited for him to leave the store before I asked the lady for mine .
I felt bad when they told him they were sold out so I waited for him to leave the store before I asked the lady for mine . Ok, I'm on chapter 2-something (I think), it's right after when you first hit the beach/port area (the first time you're able to walk in the water). I just picked up the port key (I had to shoot it down off of a skeleton). There is a treasure box inside of a little square surrounded by just wooden stands (pretty much in front of where I have to use the key). I walk all around it and cant jump over any of it. What do I do to get that treasure?

That is the easiest chapter, you have unlimited ammo lol.

Depends on who you talk to. I hear a lot of "Not gonna be as good as RE4 because Mikami didn't work on it" which annoys me. Just because he didn't work on it doesn't automatically deem it subpar, but whatever.
I'm on 6-2 now and I'm still trying to decide which RE is better than the other. It's difficult. And I'm really enjoying RE5 at the moment. Though normal mode is seeming a bit too easy for me. Shoulda gone with Veteran.
Only complaint I have so far is the change of the save feature and all the checkpoints now. It's now just too easy to bulk up on first aids and stock up ammo, etc, if you're stuck in a certain section or whatnot. no choice as to where you can save/when blah blah blah. All you have to do is die, and you're back in the ready screen and can buy weapons and whatever whenever.
The whole inventory/item managing seems to be a bit of a catastrophe every now and then too. Or maybe I just suck at adjusting.

Picked it up earlier, absolutely love it so far. The earlier post is right; the game is based around the controls, just like RE 4. You can't run and gun but the game doesn't put you in a position where you need to.
I think the inventory system is an improvement, with the gigantic suitcase you can access between levels. Upgrade system is simpler.
Oh, and if you have a red and green herb in Sheva's inventory, she'll combine them automatically. Try it.
RE 4 was a 10... but so far this is a 10 for different reasons. It's lacking in some areas, improved in others. Overall a great experience. Totally lived up to my expectations.

Just beat it. Chapters 5 and 6 are the best parts of the game by far. Will replay on Veteran after I unlock some cool sh*t in mercenaries mode. BTW concerning merc characters
RE4 Wesker >> RE5 Wesker in this mode. His sprint move is fairly hard to control and doesn't do the same damage that his palm smash did in RE4. He also does this uppercut move which sent Chris flying up in the air during the games cut scene but doesn't have the same affect in merc mode. Jill is nice.

Finished the game. Took me 7:04 hours with my RE expert pal. I don't think I loved it as much as RE4 but it had it's moments. It's certainly amongst the upper echelon of the RE series. I just really hated Chapter 4 and the last boss. Really, really bad design right there. But I was expecting ass and I got a pretty damn good game.
An early candidate for GOTY in my eyes. Two questions.
1) Where the fuck is Mercenaries. It says I unlocked it.
2) It said I unlock Sheva in single player...Where?

I think some of you guys just have to play it co-op. The single player experience lands in some strange place between frustrating and boring, but playing it with a friend is incredible.
It's basically RE4 with better graphics and co-op, which is a dream come true if you ask me.

Seriously where the fuck is Mercenaries. I just finished the goddamned game. Let me play fuckers.
Just got to 3.2, and I'm enjoying it so far. The visuals are absolutely fantastic, one of the top 3 of the gen in this regard without a doubt. I haven't noticed any tearing of major fps dips at all, even in some hectic areas, well done! On the other hand, it's extremely easy on normal, so I need to get some veteran action going or something. I was also expecting more of that atmospheric creepiness and classic b-movie horror 'vibe' of the earlier games, when even 4 had phases of it. In all honesty, it doesn't feel "Resident Evil-ish", but I guess that's the direction the series is headed. Where the hell are the puzzles? Regardless, the game will undoubtedly be in my top 3 of the year come December

Played 6 hours of online co-op, up to 3-2 on Veteran. Very awesome.
The lag with Sheva is annoying as shit though. Especially when you get a clean head shot and the enemy still hits you when he should be stunned. Something really needs to be done about that.
