Riiiiight. The game is better than your attempt at trolling.

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.

Other than than, it's great so far. Don't really mind the lack of shop keeper or open world so far and when Sheva is out of the way, it's the same great action from RE4 that I enjoy so much. And this game looks really, really good. The demo was all set outside and didn't really show off how nice the shadows and lighting is in indoor areas.

is it true that upgrading a weapon entirely gives you unlimited ammo for it on the first playthrough?

Himu · « **Reply #306 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:45:44 PM »

Dunno about that.

Anyways, link, saw your post on gaf buddy. This is what I'm going for:

I bought the stud rod. It's REQUIRED on vet. It's REALLY useful. Saves tons of ammo.

First pistol that you get, stick with that. Some other pistols may be more powerful but this thing's got Critical-X which allows more crititcal hits, so it evens out. Plus, even if it's less powerful than the other guns, it can get awesome clip size. The more powerful pistol has a small clip size and DOESN'T have critical -x.

Shotgun? Stick with the first one.

Rifle? Go with the second one. I upgrade it to semi-auto and never looked back.

There's some good tips on weapon upgrades on gaf but this is gist of it.

I rarely upgrade my magnums and If I'm upgrading Sheva I ONLY upgrade her capacity.

Not too powerful, lowers accuracy rating, takes too much ammo just to kill a few suckers. Suckage.

I let her use the Handgun most of the time, while I stuck with the Shotgun. The CPU Sheva is also surprisingly adept with the rifle.

On normal at least, both the melee and bullet proof vests felt worthless. I had them unequipped by the end.

cool breeze · « **Reply #314 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:34:45 PM »

Sheva still annoys me, but she is useful for how they have items set up in this compared to RE4; she is my pack mule and a distraction. Mainly just dump the second ammo packs on her along with all grenades (she doesn't seem to use them) and some smaller health supplies. I have my pistol and stun rod for most situations, the sniper for long range and chainsaw guys, with the shotgun in reserve for large crowds or if I get too overpowered.

So far (just finished 3-2) I'm enjoying it, and if I was to compare it to RE4 based on what I've played so far, I really don't think it can. Still has satisfying combat, it's just that the scenarios you're put in aren't as interesting and the pacing isn't as nearly as smooth. I will say that it does feel like you're fighting for survival more than RE4 did despite being a lot more action based, reasons are: enemies take way more damage, resulting in less ammo; Sheva wasting so much ammo, resulting in less ammo; and Chris being such a bitch compared to Leon. Actually, even if we don't compare him to Leon, Chris is still a huge bitch in this game. I'm hoping he does get some glory before the game ends, because so far he's just such a wuss. Josh is more of a man than he is.

And "partners" in RE5 like "nanos" in MGS4.

"she was my partner..."
"YOOO' POT-NAHR?"

i started out on veteran but it seems a bit too frustrating for me when playing alone (btw GT is xeroxinlola if you wanna play!).

do you really have to open up the inventory to switch weapons? i know you can hit up to go back to your handgun but i thought there was a quickswap button in the demo

Ax dude is pretty tough to kill the first time through. I just run away from him, you only have to stay alive for like 5 minutes or so.

You can restart the game from a later point with your inventory and shit if you really want to kill him. I decided to restart since I missed a bunch of crap last night. Just finished 2-3.

cool breeze · « **Reply #324 on:** March 14, 2009, 02:23:00 AM »

Chainsaw guy is incredibly easy to take down, it just takes time. Shoot him in the head (snipe rifle is one shot here), he will kneel down, you run up and punch him (if you're lucky Sheva will help pull off a melee combo), then repeat.

and did anyone else know that pressing the left stick in is also run? I found out by accident. I guess Capcom really wanted to make it easy for people to get into it without sacrificing the core gameplay.

I use type A with the fastest aiming speed

TVC15 · « **Reply #329 on:** March 14, 2009, 05:21:40 AM »

I'm using D. It appears to be the best. A is absurd due to firing the gun being on the face.

Jansen · « **Reply #330 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:09:03 AM »

type c is best because of how easy it is to land all the contextual attacks

oh man this game is balls out awesome. god the graphics are insane and i love all the bonus shit like finding the emblems. this game has so much replayability. i love you capgod!

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.

man i can't wait to finish up my first playthru and then dive into co-op.

just my feelings on the game so far.

Lafiel · « **Reply #331 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:59:33 AM »

Coop is really really well-done in this game, i'm surprised i thought the feature would be tacked on, but it feels like the game was designed from ground-up for coop play. The part in the mines with the lantern was really cool, and the intensity of playing with a human partner is just amazing (especially on veteran), so much more intense then RE 4 ever was because of that. I also think the controls, while this is incredibly 'cliched' to say, add alot more tension to the gameplay then RE 4 did, because of the faster enemies and better ai, and i'm glad they stuck with the control scheme.

i dont even get frustrated with the controls.
On chapter 2-3 atm, cant wait to play more.

what difficulty are you playing on swaggaz, because I have had a tough time with the chainsawers on veteran difficulty as well. Especially when they get up after you essentially kill it the first time, and they wildly swing the chainsaw. Don't care about the puzzles or the horror part of the game, which most fanfags seem to be bitching about (go play with a fucking pyramidhead or some other gay shit), I am loving the action. Anyways, I have found the african tribal dudes to be plenty creepy given the way that they can jump and their aerial attacks.

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.

How the hell do the psx games not hold up too well but CV still good? CV sucks. Ridiculous backtracking, having spare amount of item boxes makes the game fucking annoying in backtracking because you'll ALWAYS need some item you can't get because you don't have enough fucking room. Bandersnatches are SHIT. psx RE game shit on CV.

I'm only early in, but I hate Sheva's tendency to do all the exploring for me, collecting/pointing out all the items and always being the first one to find and land shots on enemies. It ruins how much detail they've put into the world--I want to explore it, but hey, I don't need to!

Including Sheva in SP was flat-out a bad idea. So was not being able to split stacks of ammo.
