Yeah Dead Space wore its welcome during my third playthrough. Yawn? Seems so.

RE4 final boss > RE5 final boss. This fight felt entirely stupid, and baked together every single bad thing about enemy behavior in this game.

bork · « **Reply #902 on:** April 24, 2009, 04:24:13 AM »

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.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #903 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:52:25 AM »

It's a real good action game, but there really isn't a single moment of horror, dread or even panic, other than whatever mild panic was caused by the controls. The controls being stuck between old and new somehow made the limitations more frustrating than they ever were in RE4, so hopefully they can get out of that zone for their next action game.

Himu · « **Reply #904 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:55:02 AM »

I thought chapter 5 was amazing and that if there were more moments like that it'd be great. Chapter 5 was genuinely creepy to me. "Don't make noise or you'll let them know our presence!" Also, the part in the cave!

Himu · « **Reply #905 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:56:41 AM »

I've played RE5 *5* times so far. Game is fun as fuck.

I just played a few rounds of Team Slayers with 3 Japanese people... anyone who says that japanese servers are good mannered or whatever is kidding themselves. The two nips on the other team kept going after me, and the guy on my team was left alone doing his own thing. They had mics on and were laughing girlishly and saying "sorrrrrrry" after they killed me thinking it was funny. I of course tore them and their ugly, slant-eyed chink asses apart. It was despicable, though. Worse than any American slayers game I've been in.

I think I've experienced the best part of the game.

Going down the giant space elevator (that's in Africa because this game takes place in Africa in case I had forgotten) and Chris is wondering why the elevator stopped then HOLY SHIT GIANT SPIDER SNUCK UP ON US.

i at least have to give the game credit for making me laugh.

The chainsaw dudes playing dead (and being invulnerable to weapons fire while doing so) deal is so fucking cheap, though.

Himu · « **Reply #929 on:** May 03, 2009, 12:31:29 PM »

They only do that on pro and vet (iirc) mode though. How's it cheap? You should be using uber weapons on pro anyway?

duckman2000 · « **Reply #930 on:** May 03, 2009, 12:52:10 PM »

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.

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.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #939 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:15:47 PM »

Can anyone tell me when human enemies are invulnerable? I'm not sure if they're taking damage when I'm hitting them during certain stagger animations.

And why is it that I can mysteriously buy weapons after each level? Doesn't make much sense. I miss the merchant guy from RE4.

Himu · « **Reply #940 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:17:57 PM »

There are times when they're invulnerable? I don't think they ever are.

You can buy weapons you miss that are scattered through the levels.

True, but shooting him while he's actually down does jack shit. So you basically have to trigger the whole thing, and then shoot him. It's just too cheap and gamey, even by RE standards, and I was real pissed when Sheva got caught by the bastard. If it was just a matter of failing to really finish him off, it'd make some sense.

Himu · « **Reply #942 on:** May 04, 2009, 12:05:11 AM »

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.

The Wesker fights are pretty terrible.

I feel like the intent was to make them very cinematic, like the Krauser knife fight, only without going all Dragon's Lair. Except, they just end up frustrating, because unless you know exactly what to do, you just run in circles while Wesker zwees around bullets.

The boulder punching. I dunno. It's got a special kind of charm.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #951 on:** May 10, 2009, 09:41:41 PM »

I wasn't really grabbed by the game at first, but Chapter 4 has been really enjoyable and I'm getting into it now. It's a little easy but that's OK.

I only figured out around chapter 4-2 how to remove stuff into the inventory.

I initially tried to move things to inventory like you move things between Chris and Sheva and of course that doesn't work so I assumed you couldn't do it. But the other night I accidentally activated the "Remove" option in the menu. Inventory management just got a whole lot easier.

Just finished it. Was disappointed by each and every boss fight, but I guess it comes with the territory of the super-antiquated control design. Pretty enjoyable overall though, and it was visually fuck awesome. Enjoying Mercenaries, even though I'm awful at it.

RE5's boss fights suck because they rely too much on the "hit the weakpoint" bullshit infused with weak ass Zelda wannabe boss design philosophy. Honestly, the one boss I love in the game is the fucking huge ass bat and the executioner, if he can be considered a boss.

I fucking HATE the Wesker fight with the lights. Stupid gimmicky crap.
