360 unless I hear that the PS3 version is actually somehow equal (lol).
I guess I'll get it, but man, I did not like what I played from the demo. The controls bugged the shit out of me, and I hate the mechanics of Sheva and the item management.
The PS3 version is actually better because you play it on a PS3. It's a playstation experience and a playstation franchise best played on a playstation.

I have a bad feeling I'm going to alternate between control schemes throughout the whole game and still not find something I'm comfortable with. I would have very much preferred it if they just had one control scheme in the game (like the GC) and forced players to use that. RE4 was all like 'if you don't like it, then GTFO'
Don't you use left stick to aim in Dead Rising?
I'm gonna try and force myself to play the full game on A. Telling myself all the time, this is how it's supposed to be played.
But than a little voice in my head would say, 'the only reason they didn't use the RS to aim in RE4 is because the GC controller's RS sucked balles.' >:(
Come on, Himu, reassure me that Type A's the best. Please.
I love that instead of coming up with a control scheme that actually works, they just made like 12 janky versions.
But there's an option for RE4 controls, so why does RE4 get a pass and RE5 doesn't?
Ding!
Other games have been released in the same genre with far more refined controls since the release of Resident Evil 4. We don't need this crap.
Whatever Hebrew, you'll still play it
and love it.
Way too much fuss about controls. Oh no, i have to stop to shoot, it just brakes my mind, i can't take it, *has convulsions*

Because it came out half a decade ago
I wish we could have an RE5 discussion for any length of time without someone mentioning the controls. Sigh.

How much? the hdd is practically new (payed $150 for it), I only opened the hdd for the hdd transfer kit for the elite. I should rephrase that the 360 I wish to get rid of is just an upgraded pro, but if you have to have it black I can work my jackson pollock magic. Unfortunatly its not by choice that I'm trying to get rid of it, the girlfriend wants a red 360 so the girlfriend gets what she wants.

Nah I'm not giving up the wired controlers, they are like gold in this house cause we fly through batteries like crazy if we didn't have them.

That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard. If the controls were fine then, the controls are fine now. Sorry gamers are pawns to trends and have ridiculous ADD.

No, it's not stupid, because this game's environments are not a carbon copy of RE4s and they traded to haphazardly slap new functions onto the same old control scheme. Maybe you should have read my last post where I already said this.

Co-op would seem to be where it's at. But I guess you can't do that, huh?
And when you want to explore the environments after beating the enemies, she'll stay at one place until you call for her.

No, not with my version.
I agree but hey, it's obvious at this point right?
So what's the best bet for an online seller with fast shipping? Paypal preferred, but I guess that's less important than getting it fast.
Good, a short game.
:bow Short games :bow2
Lyte: to take on the axeman, use the environment. There's a few fire barrels and explodable barrels in the market. Lurk him there and keep the hits coming. Stay as far away from his axe as possible. It takes a while but he'll keel over eventually.
Oh, and typically Lyte, RE4 has amazing checkpoint system. So the fact RE5 auto saves, I don't think they'll change the length at all. In most cases in RE4, if you die, you're sent to a check point.
In some ways, Resident Evil 5 is more like the many motion pictures spawned by the earlier videogames in the series than those early games themselves. There's more action, more adventure, more explosions, more vehicles and overall more of an over-the-top thrill-ride feel. It's Black Hawk Down meets Resident Evil: Apocalypse instead of Resident Evil 4 continued. That's not a negative, but it's definitely a departure. And whether or not it sounds like a romping good time or the death of everything you know and love depends on your perspective. For my money, fun is fun, and RE5 has near infinite ammo in that department.
Closing Comments
With Resident Evil 5, Capcom has broken away from many of the survival horror conventions it pioneered. The creepy suspense of the earlier games has been replaced with an action-packed intensity that will instantly appeal to some gamers and disappoint others. As an action game, RE5 is a success, and there’s a wealth of replayability through item collection, weapon upgrades, score chasing and the unlockable Mercenaries mode. But this is no gentle nudge to the formula of the previous main RE games; it’s an evolution. And if you can accept it as that, you just might love Resident Evil 5.

So are there any creepy sections, or is pretty much all high-octane action?
Uh, if you liked RE4, you will like this. It's a no-brainer.
RE4 had moody, creepy sections. The castle basement, much of that short guy's palace, all the parts with the Regenerators.
I'm stuck.
I'm at the later part of a the game, in a ship. I got 2 big ass cockroaches, ugly, fast, creepy, and just nearly invincible pieces of shit, and 3 motherfuckers with miniguns.
Fuck this game.
I don't have to work on Friday, so I might pick this up at midnight Thursday night/Friday morning.
Oh.
Eurogamer review:
7/10 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/resident-evil-5-review)
That's the score I'd give the game too...
No puzzles?
It's almost like they made a list of "things Green Shinobi likes about the Resident Evil series" and cut out most of them. Dammit, I could see puzzles not working so well in co-op, but they could have left them in for single-player.
Is the music good (and creepy) at least?
Stopping play to manage/heal seems like it is all but necessary in a game like this.

It is no different from RE4. You don't remember having to buy a bigger briefcase, and then organizing all your items to maximize storage?
Isn't that how Dead Space worked too?
MIKAMI you are correct give this black man a food stamp
It's the same fucking game as RE4

Are you talking about stage 6-1 or 6-2? The part where you need to wait for the doors to open? I had a lot of trouble against those bugs too. Fuckers just wouldn't go down for some reason. What I ended up doing was just running from them until the last set of doors was fully open, and then the twocame out. After that, I just ran to the front part (past those two) and to the left, wspoiler (click to show/hide)chaingun guys[close]That and the earlier part where you or Sheva has to go up the elevator and run/take out thespoiler (click to show/hide)here a chain gun is mounted. Stayed up there and blasted the shit out of the bugs when they came up, since you can rotate the gun to the right and shoot anyone who climbs up the platform.

It's the same fucking game as RE4 yet has sunlight and a black chick that you have to babysit. You knew what the series was turning into, STOP BITCHING.
So now the only reason for me to play this game is for co-op. Is that still on?
Help with final boss. I'm sick of him. I have no ammo. wtf
So wait, Mercs is online? I had read that it wasn't going to be.
Without spoiling any of the actual mercenaries, do any of them have super strength like Wesker or Krauser in RE4?
I also heard Hunk didn't make it back, which is :-\
Help with final boss. I'm sick of him. I have no ammo. wtf
No ammo? Nothing you can sell off? I can't remember; can you replay chapters before you finish the game? I know some people said they did with the knife, but I had plenty of ammo left. Just kept plugging away at his chest and down he went.

how does it look on s-video himuro
So this will be about RE0 or RE3 quality instead of REmake, RE2, CV or RE4 quality?Well, by todays standards, RE5 is better than all of those games in terms of gameplay (except perhaps RE4).
Good enough for me. I should be getting my copy tonight or tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
Sure, but those games have aged very poorly across the board. I don't think it's fair to suggest that RE5 is good only for its gameplay either.So this will be about RE0 or RE3 quality instead of REmake, RE2, CV or RE4 quality?Well, by todays standards, RE5 is better than all of those games in terms of gameplay (except perhaps RE4).

If judging each by their own merit at time of release, however, that may be the case...
There is so much more to many games (particularly the earlier RE titles) than just the gameplay.
Killer 7 rocked :rock
While I generally agree with that Himu, let us not forget that Capcom can stink up the joint. Killer 7 anyone?Come now. Even if you disliked the game, you have to give them credit for trying something so crazy. It was not a low quality production by any means. The fact that they continued to produce high quality mainline games alongside quirky stuff like Killer 7 should only support the argument that Capcom is the best.

lol
This is the first game in a long time to make me so angry playing it and it's all because of Sheva. If they gave her a command that was just "don't do anything; don't shoot, don't help me and just run away from danger" I would be satisfied, but there isn't one. All she has been doing so far is helping me too late and using too much ammo. I finished the first chapter and so far there have been three situations where an enemy grabbed me, she was right next to me doing nothing, then finally helped me after taking a second or two to think about it. The amount of ammo she uses also makes me wonder if those in charge of her AI ever played RE4. I do the usual knee-shot, melee then knife while down thing on an enemy Sheva is fucking shooting this guy as I'm knifing him on the floor; he is the only enemy in the room, he clearly isn't getting up because I'm fucking knifing him, and this daft woman is wasting her precious ammo to do what exactly? then 30 seconds later she starts saying "I'm out of ammo!" like it's a surprise. I feel like I'm babysitting 3 year-old, constantly trying to keep toys away from her so she doesn't choke on them. And the only person on my friends list close enough to me didn't seem interested in co-op either; everyone else is 3 to 6 chapters ahead.
yeah, that's what I've been doing. I've also dumped the Magnum on her for now.
last question: is the melee vest worth the cost and slot space?

Even TVC agrees - controls suck. Even Green Shinobi says the setting and enemies are weaksauce. Knock it off with that fanboy crap, Triumph.
REmake was good at the time and Code Veronica was pretty awesome when it came out too.

Yeah, but you're the only lying about beating it in half a night and then taking your e-ball home from the game. Wah wah wah.
Controls are the same as RE4. Could they be better? Sure, but oh well. Lots of games have issues, this is one of them. Whining about the setting is for wankers. Want a more "gothic" setting? Lol, whatever. Level design is worse than the setting in this game. If you want something to criticize the game for, there you go.
\
The PS1-era games don't hold up too well, but I played Code Veronica again before coming to Korea, and that game still fucking owns. Story seems sillier now that I'm not in high school though. REmake is still the shit; you'd have to be nuts not to dig that game. RE0 was never that great to begin with though.
I'd go crazy for remakes of RE2 and 3 with some new enemies and puzzles and such.
Actually, what I'd go nuts for most is something with RE5 style gameplay, but with more gothic/dark/creepy settings like the earlier games and with better enemies. Shooting blacks is already getting old.
Killer 7 is awesome.
You're Fucked.
Red Ringed :'(
my only complaint so far is that when playing alone sheva will occasionally run off towards where we need to go and stand there instead of always following me. which causes problems when i want to retreat and fight enemies elsewhere.
How is it like GRAW at all? What the fuck?
CV sucks. The prison is shit.
GRAW was in a desert. RE5 starts out in a desert.
And what prison in CV is shit? The tiny prison that you spend five minutes in at the beginning of the game?
Himuro, wrong as usual. CV is the best of the bunch, with a little competition from 2.
CV is replayable, except the distinguished mentally-challenged as fuck Burnside chase sequence.

All of the early RE games have situations where you can easily fuck yourself into restarting. I don't even think CV was the worst in this regard.

how do you do combos?
Act 2 is a lot better than Act 1 IMO, feels almost like an RE title. The flying parasite things are great. Chainsaw guy was actually scary. I think some creepy music would do wonders when you're exploring some of the indoor environments.
Should I be saving jewels to combine them with jewel-less treasures later on to vastly increase their sell value?

- The lack of gore is disheartening. RE4 had the best game over screens in a game. Period. I died on purpose to see the gore, it was that amazing. RE5 doesn't even have decapitations, something even RE1 on the psx had. Rarely any disembowels. I never saw Chris or Sheva get cut in half either. Even in RE1, you're cut in half or swallowed whole by a friggin huge snake. Ridiculous.

I'd say the best progression is the gatling gun first, then grind in 5-2 to get the most money for the rest.
The item exploit trick works!
If you want to be an egg farmer, make sure you have an extra XBL profile.
-First go to level 3-1; go to the island where no enemies appear when you first depart, and you'll find a lone chicken inside a hut.
-Follow it and/or wait for it to lay an egg. If you're lucky, you'll get a golden egg, which is worth $1,000.
-Make sure you have SAVED your progress before quitting! You need that egg in your inventory.
-Now select any stage to start on. Un-equip everything except the egg.
-When you have control of the game, press start on controller 2. Load your other profile and create a save.
-Now have Player 1 (you) give the egg to Player 2.
-Quit the game, but make sure that the Player 2 profile SAVES. It doesn't matter with Player 1's.
-Now reload your game or select any chapter. Keep your inventory slots empty.
-Hit start on controller 2 and load up the profile you just saved.
-Give the egg to Player 1.
-Now quit again, but this time, save Player 1's profile and NOT Player 2's.
-You can repeat this trick as many times as you want to, and do the opposite to build up Player 2's inventory.
-I kept doing this until all nine of Player 2's inventory slots were filled up, and now when I do the trick, there's 45 eggs to take.
-That's $45,000, and the whole thing only takes 2-3 minutes to do each time! You can buy/upgrade everything in no time. No more grinding for cash!

Even in RE1, you're cut in half or swallowed whole by a friggin huge snake. Ridiculous.
I'm 100% sure this is wrong, i saw plenty.
for example that big cockroach you fight mutiple times, just let it grab you and see what happens.
also, inventory system is better than that distinguished effete fellow backpack shit.
and why would you need more QTEs? the last boss made me wanna stab my dick on coop thanks to QTEs.
The final boss fight was really crappy and reminded me of Lost Planet, but not quite as crappy.Heh, yeah, a lot of the larger enemies in this game reminded me very much of Lost Planet. The weak point obsession is rather similar. Fortunately, it only applied to a few enemies in RE5 while Lost Planet was based entirely upon that concept.
my problems with inventory is Sheva. WHY CAN'T I MANAGE HER INVENTORY?
And fuck no. The gore sucks.

What do you mean by manage? You can press the bumper and see her inventory in the game to give and request items. She'll automatically combine herbs and reload weapons, so I'm not sure what else you'd want.
The toning down of the gore was for the Japanese version so it wouldn't get a Z rating. RE4JPN was less gory than the American one, for whatever reason they decided not to release different versions of RE5.
Mercenaries mode is awesome.
You really need to play this game co-op to get the full experience. There were so many "oh shit" moments with my friend where we had to work together to figure out what to do, so much fun.
I actually think RE4 has the best use of qte in a game. They made the game far more exciting and thrilling for me.Play the Ninja Blade demo.
Like Himuro said, the game definitely feels more replayable than RE4 did, but I still think RE4 is leagues ahead overall. That opinion is not going to change.

I just finished um... 2-2 I think. The giant flying thing. It seems like enemies don't let up. Not sure I like being restricted to 9 slots. I'm like... man I want that herb but I cant think of anything to drop.
Been playing at slow pace. Finished the game tonight. Was fun, but as an RE fan I didn't really like it much. The best thing it had going was the graphics and just general fun out of shooting people in the head. The worst thing it had going for it was:spoiler (click to show/hide)
-Trying to be a Gears of War ripoff. The last 1/4th of the game was just Gears but shittier and I don't play RE to play Gears. I can play Gears if I want to do that with a better cover system.
-Trying to actually end the storyline of Wesker and maybe RE plotline in general. With a franchise that's been going on for so long you'd expect the final entry to be incredibly epic. Instead it's some short shitty story where you go to a village, an oil refinery, a cave, a tent, an oil tanker, and then RE is over. :\ Also Wesker was totally lame compared to the other games so it was a crap way for him to go out. I think if you are Capcom and you can't write, then it's in your best interest to not close franchise storylines since you will just do it poorly.
-If you're playing 1p, the coop has PROBLEMS at parts where Sheva is distinguished mentally-challenged and you die.[close]
Game reminded me a lot of MGS4. Great graphics, fun, but a letdown end to the franchise. I'm sure the game is a lot of fun with tons of replayability online with buddies. But I never want to touch the 1p again. The single player is an 8/10 experience IMO. Dead Space was a much better single player game.
Dead Space was a much better single player game.You really think so? The combat in Dead Space was so much less satisfying, I thought, and it became both highly predictable (enemies loudly jumping from vents) and repetitive.
The combat in Resident Evil 5 is satisfying? ???Yes. Very much so. Certainly much more than Dead Space (which I did actually enjoy).

I prefer RE5's combat and weapons to Dead Space, even though the latter's were much more atypical they were also not as practical.The problem with Dead Space was simply that shooting off limbs (a huge feature of the game) never actually felt all that good nor were the weapons really satisfying to use. I actually thought the enemy design in Dead Space was lacking and the scenarios were often weak.

shitty argument considering the majority of Dead Space is going from room to room in a spaceship (mainly square rooms) with lots of backtracking. Awesome adventure
Well, Bioshock is space is System Shock 2, my friend (which is a better game than either). I understand what you're saying, of course, and that was one of the reasons I was excited about Dead Space. I felt that it was a let down, however, as the environments you explored and the narrative simply weren't all that interesting. Character progression was limited and combat was never all that exciting. The game lead you around linear environments throwing the same enemies at you over and over again with little variation (just walk backwards and fire away at the limbs).shitty argument considering the majority of Dead Space is going from room to room in a spaceship (mainly square rooms) with lots of backtracking. Awesome adventure
Dead Space was Bioshock in space. You wanted to know what happened to this dead place and it was great exploring the ruins and finding clues that led to the truth.
I know a lot of EB are Dead Space detractors, so I think it's pretty futile to argue its merits here, but it really is a great game. Not as great as Wilco made it sound (omg, best new game. will blow your mind), but it's definitely an 8.5-9.0 game.
RE5 demo was shockingly underwhealming. But i thought the same for the RE4 demo too, so hoping for a repeat.
Dead Space > Gears of War > Resident Evil 5:yuck
Someone like corridors
Easily one of the least satisfying single player games in the franchise - including the rail shooters.
I will say Resident Evil Zero is probably really bad. It has the distinction of being the only Resident Evil that I could not sit through and did not beat as a consequence.
I'm hoping Capcom takes a few years off and retools the franchise once again to make it relevant. My fear is that we'll get a rushed product to coincide with the fifteen year anniversary.
That's a dumb argument from you, Triumph.
Gamers like Final Fantasy [enter iteration here] and Halo: Not a Sequel, but Not an Expansion because gamers love their cherished franchises, even when the quality has slipped. Hardcore gamers, moreso than most, have an especially difficult time separating loyalty from REALITY.
The only thing we'll remember Resident Evil 5 for is having co-op.
William Federwang is not a brand loyalist, ladies and gentlemen.
William Federwang, who is a blindly slobbering fanthing for:
Sam Raimi
Comic books
Evil Dead
Bruce Campbell
Spider hyphen Man
the Washington Redskins, Wizards and Nationals
etc etc etc
This does not stop the fact that Resident Evil 5 is mediocre.
So what willco is saying is RE5 is a B-
Yeah, Resident Evil 5 is pretty damn linear. You're given a choice to hit up certain objectives in whatever order you choose at a couple of points, but Dead Space does the same thing as well.
Resident Evil 5 is pretty. The co-op is fun (but really, when is co-op NOT fun?). But the game is ridiculously short and the most paper thin Resident Evil yet. We get a few neat cinematics and that's it. Where's the sense of mystery? Decent puzzles? Satisfying gameplay?
LOL at Chapter 4-1. I didn't realize I was playing the Uncharted sequel here.
There are better survival horror games on the market. There are better action games on the market. There are better shooters on the market. There are better co-op games on the market - even ones with zombies (Left 4 Dead)!I've played a lot of Left 4 Dead and I actually MUCH prefer RE5 for co-op. The zombies in L4D are just too flimsy for their own good. Like every Source game I've played, there is no weight to anything. The act of shooting enemies is much more satisfying to me in RE5.
If anything, I'm probably too lenient on games.I'm not a brand loyalist either. RE4 was the first Resident Evil game that I actually enjoyed. I've played through some of the other games in the series, but I always thought they played like shit. I like RE5 not because of its Resident Evil branding but because I think it's a damn fine game. There are still a lot of elements present in the combat of RE5 that other games haven't duplicated.
But I'm not a brand loyalist.
Still haven't played RE0 yet; every time I try to start it, I get fed up with it for some reason. Maybe it's the item system, maybe it's the partner thing, I don't know what it is.

Name the elements present in the combat of Resident Evil 5 not duplicated by other titles. What, inventory management?I don't expect you to agree with any of this, obviously, but...
Actually, a couple of areas have build up. But yeah, not enough.
Like the uroboros fight on 2-1, or 5-1.
The problem with RE5 is that they use a cutscene for everything. In RE4 and other games you'd have no warning. You'd just hear the sound of the monster and have to figure out where the hell they're coming from.

Hey, how the hell do you guys get an S ranking on chapter 6-2? Accuracy, times died and time I have no problem with, but there's only like 7 or 8 enemies and it keeps giving me a C and fucking my ranking.
The 5-2 boss is fucking pissing me off. I know what you have to do, but he simply won't die. I've literally gone through 300 rounds of various weapon ammunition. Now I'm out of ammo and Sheva's dumbass keeps asking me for some. Wish I could punch the bitch in the face and tell her she shouldn't have wasted all her ammo in the first place.

It's really fucking annoying dude.
To get that s-rank, you gotta kill a number of the black mop things that the boss shoots at you. Also, remember to take on the group of majini in that one hallway.

I've settled on the best way to equip Sheva, finally. I'd had troubles with her when I gave her a pistol-rifle combo; she just seems to want to use the pistol exclusively. But now I took her pistol away and gave her a fully pimped out ak-74 (lol) machine gun in it's place. Fully upgraded, it does as much damage as the base pistol but has better range and obviously is automatic. It doesn't have any critical bonuses, but fuck it that's what Mr. Fully Upgraded Magnum is for on Chris. Boom, sucka. Plus she'll use her rifle like a good girl on far off targets now.
What have you guys had success with?
Take her pistol away and give her a rifle or machine gun and voila.
Yeah, I was doing it wrong. Apprearently Capcom wants you to give her the flamethrower and have you do absolutely nothing. She basically took him down by herself after three refills.
How is that a bad thing. All you have to do is go to restart, which will take you to your item box, and then go back. You'll be fighting the boss in 5 seconds.
And you shouldn't even need to use a magnum on a boss the first time through. I sure didn't need one. It just sounds like you have bad weapon management. I always carried with me a pistol or shotgun and kept a machine gun or rifle for Sheva on my first time. A pistol or shotgun worked perfect for pretty much all boss battles.
Me too. Played it 10 times and still haven't earned more than 200 points each round. Only getting D's. THIS SUCKSHighest I got was a C. I tried splitscreen co-op with my cousin and I thought we were doing really good. Finished with a C. :'(
Did the egg glitch yesterday. Got like 800.000 gold and I still can't upgrade all of my weapons. Did Capcom really thought gamers would grind 60 to 70 hours to upgrade all the weapons?
Terrible.

I just read that you can replay chapters to bring down your time.
Should be easy!
5-3 is really making me want to break a controller - so far i've just beaten my pillow against the wall. It took me DAYS to get past that fucking drawbridge part, and now i'm getting destroyed on the boss fight. Sheva's a.i. is just not good enough to deal with this shit. IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE, DON'T RUN OFF BY YOURSELF JESUS CHRIST

I hate to put it this way, but you're doing something wrong. It should not be this difficult.
FINALLY beat 5-3 by using the cheap rocket launcher method mentioned earlier. fight ended right after i tried it. total deaths - thirty-fucking-six, not counting the times i turned off my system in frustration. i really don't know what my problem was, i don't think i died more than three times in any other level :-\
uhh... uhh... well i'm playing on veteran with no coop, so that must've been it!Yeah, I did the same and i died 30+ times during that fight. I finally beat it when i got my cousin to play as Sheva.
i swear, i play games on the hardest difficuly all the time and I don't (usually) have this much trouble :'(

How big is RE5? I plan to install it on the 360 but I'm still using a puny 20GB HD.

The Jill part was annoying OMG
My arm is about to fall off after tapping the button so much
And WTF at them locking the door to all those vases in the upper levels. So much lost loot.
man professional mode is no joke. a regular punch takes off like 90% of my health!Cutscenes are in engine. The Framework engine is a beast.
also the graphics in this game are even more impressive than i thought. i was really surprised to see that my characters' costumes changed during the cutscenes because I figured they were all prerendered.
Just did the egg cheat and maxed out all my weapons. Can't wait to go through it again on Veteran with much better weaponry. Already tried my Magnum on the first boss - the axe weilding dude - and I took him down in two shots. :D
Anyone know how the game doles out the points for buying stuff in the bonus feature section? My first playthrough only netted me like 17k.
Also, is there a figurine tied to getting an S rating on every level? Gotta know because there's an achievement tied to buying all the figurines.
Could be the proximity bomb / grenades like trh said
Yay, only 3 achievements left! War Hero, They Belong in a Museum, and Be the Knife. I got a lot of shit to do for school, so I'll get my first 1000/1000 next weekend. :D
I got a golden egg playing on normal.
Also, the best level for money grinding (if you're not gonna do the egg trick, which I never did) is 5-1. Why? Because it's short as fuck and you can get the following items in less than 7 minutes:
1 jeweled beetle (2000 gold)
4 lionhearts from killing lickers (10000 gold total)
some gold bars in the safe (3000 gold)
That's at least 15k for every run through, even if you don't pick up any gold from killing the lickers. Also note that there are four lickers that don't come out if you don't press the elevator button, and one of them has one of the lionheart gems so you'll miss that one if you don't call the elevator. I would recommend having at least a magnum with unlimited ammo for this level tho, since the lickers can be a pain in the ass otherwise. Infinite ammo rocket launcher makes it a cinch. You can easily run through this level 7-8 times in an hour, getting yourself more than 100k.
You got 1000/1000, right Himuro? Are there any annoyingly hard treasures to find? I have like 9-10 left to get.

okays so whats the funniest line of dialogue in the game?

Or you can just get a rotten egg and get 90,000k in two minutes each time thereafter. It's not cheating, it's avoiding the grind. 8)
I think the funniest bit of dialog was the beginning of 5-3. Sheva's talking about Excella's motives and Chris is like,"Whatever, I don't understand that shit, a terrorist is a terrorist and terrorists die."your life HINGES on this fight
Of course, the one classic line in RE5 is "I'VE GOT AN EXTREME MAKEOVER!!"
Yeah, I did it with the strongest magnum, infinite ammo. Also, try to hit him with that long ass combo 2-3 times. I did it on amateur so it was easy.
its actually not too ridiculous a grind (as triumph pointed out). Did you ever play Devil May Cry 4 for achievements? My game clock is at 40 hours and I still only have 290 points. Good luck getting 1,000,000 proud souls lol
Where in 4-1? 4-2 has a bunch of snakes that drop eggs, but I don't remember any in 4-1.
I can confirm that receiving eggs from a friend DOES NOT get you the "Egg Hunt" achievement. So, I'm just lacking a rotten egg. Any thoughts on where its best to find one? I only found my first brown egg after 20 hrs of gameplay last night.
I beat the game last night. I had a lot of fun with it, but I still prefer Resident Evil 4. The ending was a little underwhelming, but I've never played the RE series for the story.

I'm leaning towards picking up RE5 this week but I'm still a little concerned about how it'd play in Solo.
I just gave Sheva all my first aid sprays and herbs. She bailed my ass out so many times.

God shut up bitch. I did the egg glitch and it only too me a couple nights worth of doing it. DMC4 doesnt work at all because you dont need S ranks in every difficulty in RE5 to get all 1000.
I was just going off your complaint of the egg glitch. Mercenaries is easier for grinding Exchange Points, and so better than the retail game anyway
How do you get an S-class for chapter 6-2? I get an S for everything except 'Enemies Routed'.
There are only 6 enemies on that level. What am I missing?
Is that the rumor?
the game is trash just sold it off and bought assassian's creed, greener pastures
yeah, it was a hefty drop in quality from re4 to re5. while i don't think it's the biggest downgrade ever it is certainly in contention.the game is trash just sold it off and bought assassian's creed, greener pastures

and multiplayer deathmatch with stationary shooting sounds completely fucking awful
I'm in the market for a Professional partner. Let me know
I think youre the only person who plans on buying this
I bought Versus mode. The only reason demi is bashing it is because it's online only.
1000 :flex
I blazed through because I was with a coop partner who had infinite crap too.
For the Jill fight, I didnt know about the flash rounds but I took the much quicker route of blasting the chestpiece with the handcannon. Took about 6 shots before it finally ripped off.
no friends :'(
5-3 on Professional... lol
why do they end the games while we're playing? like 30 secs left and they end it. it only happened twice so far but still

It's very common, people are just distinguished mentally-challenged that way. Maybe you will find a good player - a Japanese one preferably, they are honorable when it comes to this shit
Did you have a good score? You need 80,000 to get A-Rank at least on Duo mode, 40,000 on Single mode
Does anyone have an golden egg? I need it for the achievement. I have rotten egg if anyone needs one.
The game clicked with me finally. Just got to 3-1 and have been grinding a lot of cash. Fun stuff.
wow, what the fuck @ that wesker flashback cutscene. I haven't seen something so unabashedly Matrix in years. he even had the shades and long coat :-\Upgrade the revolver style magnum first not the l.hawk. It unlocks the handcannon.
drewsy-- i'm going for the full upgrade on the first pistol (hear it unlocks the best pistol) and after listening to the giant bombcast, I decided I have to have that muthafuggin' Magnum with unlimited ammo.
The LHawk is better to use because the handcannon has slow recoil and kickback
The LHawk is better to use because the handcannon has slow recoil and kickbackI give a fully upgraded L.Hawk to my AI partner. They just rape majini with it.
Started playing this an hour ago, any good tips on what to do with this Sheva character? She keeps getting caught, which is a bit annoying. I 'm sharing the ammo I find, but she still can't seem to keep up.
Other than that, I got used to the controls faster than I thought I would. Still feels weird as hell, especially since I just got done playing Gears of War 2, but it's manageable. Game is definitely cool so far.
I thought the cutscenes are well done and cheesy as usual.
Ahaha wow. This game is downright terrible solo. I was able to make it to the white chick who gets raped then turns into a plagas before I couldn't bare it anymore. Luckily I only rented this because my friends got it from gamefly as well.
Though I don't even think adding a second person could possibly save this garbage.
I thought it was a bit meh in the beginning, but it opens up, and right now I wouldn't feel bad about calling it one of the better action games I've played. I don't even have that much trouble monitoring Sheva at this point, which is a relief. Then again, I'm playing on normal difficulty.
Oh, and are there any bosses in the game that aren't total push-overs?

The game does not "open up". It's always linear.
I don't know how anyone can have played to the point I just did and say it was "good". The rest of the game remains to be seen but it does not leave a good first impression.

Moving and shooting in RE would probably just get you killed more often because of how the AI works.
Moving and shooting in RE would probably just get you killed more often because of how the AI works.
that's pretty dumb, btw.
uh...
The AI runs at you then stops, then slowly walks towards you. Sometimes the jump at you too. How could moving while shooting be a detriment? If I could walk backwards while aiming that would make the game much more manageable.
I also love it when you assume moving while shooting is my biggest hate on the game. I've made it a point to show that it's not. Read what I posted earlier.
I can see having issues with the controls (going straight from Gears 2 to this was initially very confusing), but I can't relate at all to complaints about it being boring. Maybe my suckiness makes the game more intense or something, because I haven't encountered a dull spot after the 3rd chapter.
The cut-scene density is fucking ridiculous, though.
You're not doing it wrong, but you have zero grasp on game design if you think every game should the same mechanics as its peers. Games don't work like that. You set up specific limitations depending on what the game is revolved around. Since RE is about killing or stopping the enemy before it gets too close, move and shoot gameplay probably wouldn't be the most advisable thing to implement. Of course, it may work, but who cares? The stop and pop style works fine the way it is.
I can see having issues with the controls (going straight from Gears 2 to this was initially very confusing), but I can't relate at all to complaints about it being boring. Maybe my suckiness makes the game more intense or something, because I haven't encountered a dull spot after the 3rd chapter.
The cut-scene density is fucking ridiculous, though.
yeah, I just skip the cutscenes. Only reason to watch them is Sheva's character model, animation, and expressions. SO GOOD.
You're not doing it wrong, but you have zero grasp on game design if you think every game should the same mechanics as its peers. Games don't work like that.

It really doesn't surprise me that you want the controls to stay the same. You're the one who doesn't like MGS4 because of it's controls. One of the things that universally every agrees is the best thing about it.
You're the same kind of person who screamed at the top of their lungs that they shouldn't change the MGS controls because it would change what MGS is. I'm not kidding. It's the same exact argument. In fact you're not like that kind of person. You ARE that person.
Like I've said... numerous times.... the controls are only one piece in the list of things I dislike. I don't just want the controls changed, I want the entire game changed because what's there right now is boring.

You're just starting Dead Space Kranz? If you're into survival horror I think there's a good chance you'll like it. From my short time with RE5 it seems that RE5 and Dead Space are not in the same genre at all anymore, but that's OK.
I'd suggest playing Dead Space on hard if you aren't already. It's a good balance.
I'm playing this, and wow could it possibly have worse controls
I'm playing this, and wow could it possibly have worse controlsDon't use the default Gears wannabe controls. I couldn't stand them. Try switching to something that's similar to RE4.
the chainsaw guys have like a huge window before they whack your head off. it's pathetic, especially if you compare it to RE4's chainsaw guys.
RE4 bossES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RE5 bosses
RE4's single player mode >>>>>>>>> RE5.
But RE5 is more replayable and having co-op, mercenaries online, and the versus modes make it fucking great.
There is nothing that indicates that he's going to get up again
It's cheap because the motherfucker is, in terms of combat, dead. There is nothing that indicates that he's going to get up again, and there is no way to make sure of it with a finishing move. He's dead, and then he gets up again and starts wildly waving the chainsaw around, which has unfortunately caused my less than capable A.I. partner to die.
I'm 2100 on the Amateur playthrough time. I'm thinking of putting together an actual speedrun if anyone is interested.
imo professional isn't that hard due to how u can have all ur guns and upgrades, especially with a co-op partner. i'm on like chapter 5 and so far the only hard parts were Ndesu (skipped) and irving (skipped)...ill go back to them later, i think ndesu is gonna be a monster tho
to make professional really challenging, u would have to start from scratch with your weaps and ammo. i think that would be fun,.. i wish u could start a new game on pro so u dont have any ammo/upgrades in ur inv because id be too tempted to use them.

His chainsaw is still running when he's on the ground, that's how you know he's not dead. You can hit him while he slowly stands up. Just lob a grenade on him when that happens and he's down for good.
This is super fun in coop, it almost makes up for the plethora of utter bonehead design decisions in this game

Co-op, The Mercenaries, and Versus modes make RE5 super-awesome.

Buubuu, you were going good until you hit that one
but I guess it comes with the territory of the super-antiquated control design.
Level 5 is classic Resident Evil suckfest. It's like a B-grade Gears of War clone. F that
The volcano part is the stupidest part in this game. Made even worse in co-op because you can sequence break it (Chris runs straight for the boulder) and the game has no idea what to do. MrSingh and I were confused for a good 15 minutes on that part.
