Who cares if it was retarded. It was cheesy fun, which meant it fit right in with that game.

Fair enough, I don't really disagree, I just don't mind her wearing something more setting appropriate either.

I hate how spongy the zombies are in that where there's really not knockback and it's primarily stunning them for just a split second. There's really no benefit to headshots beyond an off chance of a critical.

I think they want you to play around with the limb system and weigh chancing a permanent headshot with crippling their legs and running past, but I'm pretty much always going to choose to expend more bullets for a permanently dead zombie over one that is still crawling around nipping at my heels.

I'm gonna be playing in handheld mode on Steam Deck. Oh fuck, I just remembered this game doesn't let you pause time in the item menu, does it?

I don't see anyone mentioning this, and it's critical to success, specially on Hardcore: Kneecap any zombies you intend to just run by. It's much easier than a headshot, stuns more reliably, and if you get lucky you chop off a leg, significantly gimping them as a threat, for less than half the ammo it'd take you to brain them with a 9mm. You're weak early and stronger later on. By the time you get the SMG as Claire you can freely kneecap every single zombie that bothers you, you won't ever run out of ammo if you're even mildly accurate.

If you're going Hardcore off the bat, I'd go Claire A Leon B. Leon is just plain weaker than Claire in this. I think on Standard (Don't quote me on that, I never touched that mode) he can tank more hits because he has armor, and his weapons are more practical and less exotic, but on Hardcore you mostly get sent to 1 HP in one hit regardless. Claire has to deal with Mr X significantly less time. And Leon B gets the 1911, which is by far the best handgun in the game. Claire gets the SAA instead, and that thing sucks big time. If you're going Standard, anything's fine.

In general, Claire is indeed a little worse at taking out the trash, her starter pistol is horrfyingly bad, but it does turn into a Magnum for no additional space later with special ammo.

The JMB HP lets you stun enemies easily thanks to it's permafocus feature with the laser. Also makes firing on the move a lot snappier.

The machine gun is a DPS monster that can gimp zombies for free, and for some reason the game is exceedingly generous throwing you ammo for it. Great gunpowder yields, too.

The Spark Gun lets you get past tough enemies like Ivies for cheap. It does seem to have some AoE in really specific situations, but it's wonky enough that I'd advise against trying.

And finally, the Grenade Launcher is a classic that offers you a lot of versatility. It can take out the trash for cheap if you absolutely must, it has reliable AoE and can tag two zombies at once, making it worth it to clear some rooms that will save you headaches later like the West Office, and of course, it's great at bosses.

Sherry's part is easier than you'd think, most likely.

I think Leon's just boring but practical. He doesn't get to make crazy shit happen like Claire, but his kit is solid, and somewhat easier to use. The Matilda carries a lot of ammo, which WOULD save you space, if you don't feel compelled to slap the Stock on. But if you're gonna use it, you probably should slap the stock on. Stock Matilda can put out some alright damage and stagger on whatever you need quickly. It's not amazing, but it'll get the job done against dogs and zombies you intend to run by.

The shotgun also carries a lot of ammo with the stock. Great for headpops, and it basically lets Leon clear rooms at will. It sits in a weird spot against bosses where it just looks like the Matilda can put out more DPS, but I guess you could use it in a pinch. It won't stun them often, though, so don't gamble your survival on that. It also won't stun Lickers, I vaguely recall, though I might be wrong on that one.

The flamethrower is really weird. It's DPS is absolutely godlike, but it has three horribly annoying niggles: It'll block the fuck out of your field of view, it'll make hard to tell what enemies are gonna do when they're engulfed in flames, and it seems to not stagger at all, ever, anyone. Except the Ivies. The Ivies burn good. You still wanna use it against bosses, though.

The M19 is really, really good if you go for Leon B. Not just because it changes Leon's run cycle to something less stilted and he aims it gangsta style, but because it puts out really respectable damage for an ammo that's pretty common. I still go for kneecaps over headpops with this, but if you absolutely need a zombie removed and don't have the shotgun yet, this is not the worst possible choice.

The Lightning Hawk is a good magnum. Free headpops on zombies with a headshot from pretty much any range. That would be wasteful, though. Excellent damage. Save it as much as possible for bosses. There are two really annoying Lickers at the NEST facility, near where the trophy sits, I tend to use the Magnum to clear them. Gunpowder yields kinda suck, you'll get 3 bullets if you're lucky.

Ada's part is murderously difficult as it throws you into a multi enemy gauntlet with only ten bullets. It's easy-ish when you know how to do it, but you'll often need retries.

100% agree with this; I didn't need to retry this section at all.

I didn't think it was difficult either. The problem is it feels like it completely hits the breaks on the game since it's a little tedious and you can only do it so many times in replays. Ada's is fine though.

So I'll probably try RE2R soon. Any tips? I'm pretty shit at action games like this, should I play on the easiest settings to save myself the headache?

If you don't have a knife and you feel like you will HAVE to use a subweapon if you're being grabbed, then just throw the grenade. Using a grenade to break a grab means the grenade will only affect that zombie or ivy while aiming and throwing from a distance will allow you to eliminate or disable a full group and make a run for it.

Don't shoot Mr. X's fedora hat (no, seriously). Only kill common enemies when extremely necessary because almost every of them are bullet sponges even if you headshot like 10 times.

It shouldn't come as a surprise when they made Krauser a beast and Wesker makes him look like nothing by comparison.

I still wanna know why RPD Leon isn't an alt for the campaign. I assume it'll be pay walled.

wait until release and we'll see how much damage he should be doing. all of his movements are basically attacks (even his parry is a kill move) and it looks fluid to me. note that in Mayhem Mode (and as was seen in the text strings i shared a long while back) Wesker goes free-form melee, but in the video the sounds are broken and it looks and feels wimpy as a result.

But all his mechanics are present? I was surprised to see he had no mayhem bar. It wouldn't surprise me he wouldn't have one with how utterly broken he is that everything he does is mayhem shit.

I hope the legitimate version has eye glow. Slippyslides video shows his eyes under his glasses and he strangely has green eyes.

? the video i linked, he does have mayhem mode. when he activates it he glows black with red embers and engages with quicker melee attacks, such as against the chainsaw ganado. it lacks appropriate sound effects however and you can see him still holding the knife due to the unfinished nature of his content. the mayhem bar does not show the correct icon presumably because that asset is not in the game yet. apologies if i'm coming off as a box of rocks, i've been working over.

Oh I see it now. I'm an idiot. I don't know why I didn't see it the first time I watched it.

Ideally I'd love to see a Mercs united of this with other maps like RPD and have characters from the other remakes, even though I hate 3make with a vengeance. All the weapon assets are essentially the same so they wouldn't really feel any different. Carlos can just use the M4 with the Acog for example.
 
I kind of hate how some people are kind obssessed with this remake to the point they gotta constantly compare, decry and deminish the original in whatever way they can to say "Oh, the remake does "X" so much better!"

The original seems to be going from one of the most praised games of all time to one of the most shat on. I wonder if this isnt mostly with the younger crowd since most of them since to act rather childishly against any sort of argument for the original over the remake (but then again, being a childish moron online isnt exclusive to kids). And they obviously probably see "old=bad"

Recently I have seen one "praising" the lack of the ballistics line because it was "boring dialogue" or "they love sex jokes cuz they dont get any".

I dont know, I find it hard to imagine that the remake will as lasting within culture as the original. Its kind of like Half life with Black Mesa in a way, sure, the latter may be the technically "superior" game but the original is simply too iconic and a legit stepping stone in gaming history to ever "replace" it. Black Mesa works best as a companion piece to the original and as a love letter from the fans. I see the RE 4 remake as the same thing, there is a lot of love in it but it cant just beat the original in terms of significance in the video game landscape.

Hopefully thats all temporary and eventually we can all at least agree to disagree. Or maybe not, we are talking about maturity among them after all.

These are the same troons that came out in force to shit on both the OG RE2-3 when those remakes came out and how they're "inferior" to the remakes. Yeah no lol. Only children are putting half hearted remakes over the originals. I don't care about graphic coomers trying to convey that's the bench mark for a good game. Where's the content? 4make has a girthy campaign which feels about the equivalent of the original and most completed times were about 20 hours which is what most had with the original.

4make surprised many people, myself included. But it doesn't have anywhere near the legend status the original had of catching lightning. It invented the 3rd person shooter and had a decade of copycats. 4make while taking strides forward and correcting, remixing, consolidating many aspects of the game. It has more problems than what the original had but has more positives than negative. I think it's strongest achievement was the world map feeling way more coherent and thought out and encourages a lot of backtracking which is something the original barely had. It didn't fucking wreck all the monster or character designs like I thought they would. They simply didn't try to reinvent the wheel which is what they did with 3make specifically, which is why it's looked at as a complete failure. 2make had endless potential they squandered.

People love the snappy, quick responsiveness of the original. This one doesn't have that. Leon was able to stop on a dime and the quickturn felt good. Leon is very sloppy in this and the shooting tends to feel like shit due to the reticle bloom. It's still a much better remake than I anticipated. I've been dumping a lot of hours into it and it's one I'll return to for years to come, just like the original. The voice acting is balls overall except for maybe half the cast. 2make had good actors I think, especially Marvin really selling the situation. He was the standout in the trailer for it.

2make I sorta want to go try again just from the fact this is a direct sequel to that and see how I feel about it now. I also want to give RE4 OG another run.

So if the models and animations are 90% there, what stopped Capcom from putting at least Wesker as a playable character in Mercenaries? Oh right Capcom is going to squander the positive reception of RE4R and are going to nickel and dime us for different shades of Weskers sunglasses. Is like a step foward and two steps back with these japs.

With them doing pay to win for weapon upgrades, I put nothing past Jewcom.

Capcom is becoming westernised (pozzed) since a while ago. The DLC shenanigans are just a part of Kikecom now.
