The partner system sucks in 1p. They take your kills. You have to give them ammo. You have to cover them at parts while they do puzzle stuff for you.
Game was obviously made for co-op and the 1p campaign takes a hit because of it.
The real time item menu sucks. Pretty much as bad as it does in IU. Menu is clunky and not well organized.
Demo was a little boring because it was easy. Enemies were slow and you just pop, pop, pop and they're down and then you collect their ammo. Lacked exploration or exciting action.
I don't have a lot of faith in a non-Kamiya/Mikami RE even if it's based on RE4's great gameplay. But the retail game could surprise me.
uhh im pretty sure the shotgun decaps. it did for me. you're doing it wrong.
You only get decaps if there is a monster plant head underneath that replaces the head. You can get those with the pistol as well.
