I just finished the last boss. It was absolutely fantastic, and I played it in Single Player (on normal). What were the complaints? I just gave Sheva my heavily upgraded rifle, a bit of rifle ammo, and set her to attack, and she did what she was supposed to do easily.
I had such an amazing time with the game, and I played it mainly in single player (with Nem dropping in to lend a hand during 4-1 and Sectus doing the same from 5-3 through most of 6-3). So many amazing moments throughout. I don't even know where to start as far as impressions go, so I'm going to stew on it for a bit.
As good as RE4 from a pure single player perspective? No, definitely not. As a pure fun co-op experience? Most definitely the best co-op game I have ever played.
The game was just a joy to play, I can't really ask for anything more. For anyone not enjoying the game, I highly recommend getting a friend and playing with them, or inviting someone from GAF into your game. JUST DO IT.
My main complaint is that Capcom showing FAR TOO MUCH of the game in trailers.

Does anyone think that beign "too realistic" kinda kilsl the charm that RE4 had?

How does the story hold up? I'm still pretty early in the game, but I'm enjoying the cinematic approach the game takes. In my opinion, this game has a more hectic of a narrative than 4, which is drawing me in and making me take an active interest in the plot (tying in characters and story arcs from the previous titles is also a big help). In 4, I felt like the story was just a back drop to the action.
One of my favorite parts of 4 were the crazy enemies, most notably Salazar and the crazy cloak-wearing cult-ish guys. Are there any enemies in that vein in 5?

It's not there. And I just finished the game. I'll try finishing the last chapter again to see if it works.Rez said:

I'd say that the level design is about on par with RE4, but as I've said a lot already, when playing in co-op mode, and realizing how cleverly laid out everything is with two people playing in mind.Kai Ozu said:
3-2 was one of my favourite chapters. I can't wait to play it with a friends as well.{Mike} said:
Hell, I can't think of any area in the game that I didn't actually like.
Rez said:
I gotta agree with you. The game forces you to be extremely involved with your partner. Its chaotic and I love it.
It's right up there with Left 4 Dead and Gears 1 & 2 regarding my favorite co-op experiences as far as I'm concerned.
As soon as I got to the part where
one player has to lure the worm-covered black gooey boss into the furnace room and the other has to pull the switch,

On a second or third playthrough if you play as Sheva does the game decrease the amount of enemies?
Baraka in the White House
2-Terms of Kombat
Ok, so what exactly was supposed to be the big fucking problem with the controls again? It's cut-and-paste RE4 (which was never a problem with me).
I honestly feel sorry for the people who are unable to enjoy RE5 in co-op glory.
And as far as the inventory/upgrade system is concerned, I see no problem with it other than the inherently game breaking bull shit that is the item duplication which can easily be avoided if you want to.
You can easily manage Sheva's inventory, give her the weapons that you want or exchange/give/request items during the game and when you are in the Organize inventory section. At no point in the game that this system hinder my game play experience, she basically works like an extra backpack as long as you restrict her to one powerful weapon, especially the Rifle which doesn't make her run through the ammo that fast.
Upgrading is also fine. It takes longer to upgrade weapons and because of the huge reduction in sale value it gives you incentive to stick with your original weapons rather than selling your old ones and buying new ones. Farming is obviously easier this time around but once people get to Pro mode they will realize why they made it thus. Even the most super powered weapon will make Pro mode fucking hard because of how powerful the enemies are so you better the hell be fully prepared or else you will get raped.

Am I missing something on how to setup a game with someone I know in the PS3 version? Did they really gimp letting you join someone on your friends list?

When you (or a friend) start the game, you have to set it to either open or invite only.Marty Chinn said:

Ya, my brother set it to invite only but how do I get invited or find his game?
Just finished 4-1.
The game has been excellent so far and just keeps getting better. It's an incredibly polished experience and I really hope that a lot of people that are on the fence come around and pick it up.
That cave area was jaw dropping. It felt like something out of Uncharted. Seeing as Uncharted and RE4 are my most replayed games ever, I was really pumped over that chapter.

I've only played the PS3 demo, not the full game, but I'd imagine he has to open the XMB, go to his friends list, choose you, then choose "send invite" or something along those lines.Marty Chinn said:

Pop up the XMB, navigate to your friends list, go to his name, click triangle, choose Invite to game.Marty Chinn said:

how come the boss in 4-2 wont die? ugh.
Gotta say.. um to chapter 3.3 (?)
and now I'm playing solo on normal and the game now feels like a resident evil game. Because the enemies are a bit easier and sheva's tard AI doesn't impact as much as enemies are killable. It does make the game a bit too easy.
VETERAN should never have been made available for the SP game at the start. Almost broke the game.
Visually the game is nice but so far, not OMFG, better than this/that..etc. Its competent at best. I like it but its well, RE4HD.
The problem I have with co-op is that the sense of exploration gets a little lost in favour of move and kill gameplay.
right now:
score 7.5/10
inventory system I don't like
lack of creepy sales guy I don't like
boat escape

This, as a matter of fact, is what I'm talking about. I know you can do it in the intermission menu, but it's so dumb that I can't do it while actually playing.fernoca said:

I see now. You're doing it in the wrong order. After the battle begins, head to the plateau area and assault Wesker until a cutscene occurs, and Wesker goes after Sheva. Then Sheva should jump a gap and then will be clinging onto her life; shoot Wesker to stop him from advancing. Then run to the boulder and push it down, and then return to the plateau with Sheva and begin the final assault.
Just finished the game today. Ending really sucked like I knew it will suck,
doesn't remind me of classic
at all, but this ugly loser voiced by a pretty shitty VA.
On the bright side though, boss fights were really fun (although they ALL look the same), I like some of the locations that take place and I always had this thing with QTEs, and I liked RE5's much
Overall 8/10 for me (PS3 btw)

Once you get to the final bout, just shoot him enough for yet another cutscene showing his weakspot to occur. Then run up to his chest; hopefully it'll have a QTE sequence. Trigger it and the battle should end there. It's not too difficult. We can co-op this mode if you like, too.

Its probably just being tired. I know im abit tired and made a few mistakes in co-op with Volcynika. Drove right on top of a bomb :lol
Lack of finding important documents does take some getting used to...
So far, my favorite part was the
lantern tunnel in co-op
Bosses are crazy looking...and if RE5 is any indicator as to how far MT Framework engine has come, 4 player Lost Planet 2 co-op is going to be insane.

There are more files later in the game. Still not a huge amount, but much more relative to the beginning.Teknoman said:

So I want to pick up a herb but I have no room in either inventory, and I discarded a some ammo. It disappeared! I thought it would drop on the ground!
Real fucking smart Capcom. Jesus christ. That is so incredibly dumb.
Lucky I didnt attempt to drop the shotty, which is exactly what I was about to do. Fuck me.
