I think having an infected protagonist would be a breath of fresh air for the franchise. I would really like to know exactly what these guys are doing that viruses give people railgun arms and turn zombies into cyborgs or whatever that one guy in Leon's campaign did that kept slicing zombies into thirds and growing metal spikes. I liked Piers and I hope he returns in RE7 as Mega Man. drat thing's a mega buster! quote:I remember reading about the early Resident Evil 4 builds with that exact premise and was always a little disappointed that it got scrapped in favour for the one that got released.

Now save my loving preference instead of switching it every minute. Isn't there an option setting for something like exactly that? I could swear there was one for retaining handedness settings.

Man, I think I'm playing this game wrong. It seems like every single boss fight I use up all my ammo and end up running around scrounging for more bullets. I even melee all the enemies in the normal parts of the stages, but it doesn't matter, and I end up running out of ammo in the first 30 seconds of a boss fight anyway.

Most bosses have gimmicks which allow you to do additional damage. They involve either environmental objects or hitting their weak points to stun them which opens them up to extremely damaging melee attacks.

Yeah. You really need to exploit the weakness or the fights last forever. For some reason, maybe because it was the last campaign they made, Chris's game is the only one where it's an absolute necessity.

Thanks, I missed that somehow. I set it to right hand only and it works most of the time. It still swapped me back to lefty after certain events but not nearly as much as it was doing it before. Definitely fixed the prob with having to tap R3 after every door and cutscene though. I'm done with Helena but I've still got Piers and Sherry to play as so that will probably help. I can't believe I've neglected Agent Hunt for so long. It's a blast even in spite of the balance limitations.

Really funny in hindsight seeing this game isn't scary at all and is basically a lovely Michael Bay movie and the secret ending may as well have been a teaser for a new DMC game to reenforce that.

What's the most efficient way in Mercs to kill J'avo (normal, unmutated) with a melee? Like, with the zombies the best way is probably headshot->shoulder shot->coup de grace. How can I set J'avo up such that it results in a guaranteed melee kill?

The main coup de grace setup for J'avo is headshot/quickshot, slide. If you're Jake you should switch to hand to hand and do the first uncharged punch instead of sliding. If you're a male character, you can also go for the elbow.

Used to just be that being infected turned you into a zombie when you died, then it meant you died really quick, then it meant started turning into a zombie on the spot, then it meant you started mutating, now it's like you get super powers and are basically the guyver.

Technically speaking, we've had an infected protagonist. Remember Sherry? And I think the implication is that Jake's unnatural strength is at least partly due to the C-Virus not really working on him enough for him to be a J'avo, but still providing a benefit. That said, a character whose infested powers have a strong gameplay component would be neat.

I'm pretty sure that's because he's Lil' Wesker, since he has the same moves Wesker did. Also, I'm extremely glad someone in game finally referred to him as "Wesker Junior". e: Jake's campaign is the worst one too btw. It's incredibly lovely that human controlled enemies get to circle strafe and counterattack Jake's melees. It made chapter 4's part where Sherry has to get the door for Jake and he's surrounded by twenty dinosaurs and grappling arm dudes impossible; it locked on to them, they dodged, then they all swarmed me.

Well, that's what I meant. The only hereditary trait Wesker's blood provides is a resistance/immunity to the Virus Du Jour, or to be more accurate its negative traits.

It's kind of hard to get a clear grasp on exactly how super Jake is. He's seemingly got rockass kung-fu powers but he doesn't really act like he does and seems more weirded out by Sherry's regeneation than at anything he does himself. If he got superpowers from the C-Virus you'd figure he'd at least mention "holy poo poo I can punch through steel" or something.

Leon was evidently never weirded out by being able to roundhouse kick dudes' heads off, and in prior games the (to our knowledge) totally unaugmented Ada was able to pull off Ridiculous Ninja Jumps. So goodness knows what's "normal" in the RE-verse anymore.

When Resident Evil 2 was new the common rumor was that Ada was an android. Not just from the cutscenes at the end but because for whatever reason she actually has higher stamina than Leon in the few parts where you play as her.

He's good in a fight, but he's been a professional mercenary since he was fifteen, so that's to be expected. I don't immediately recall him doing anything that's more overtly superhuman than, say, Leon.

Jetrauben posted:True. Leon was evidently never weirded out by being able to roundhouse kick dudes' heads off I think that was originally handwaved in RE4 as the Las Plagas parasite severely weakening the head/neck in preperation for the growing parasite's erruption or some such. No idea if an explanation like that still stands for whatever the current biohazard is. RE Zombies heads were never that resilient. You could also stomp those guys into decap if you managed to get a grounded one to nibble at your ankles. Even back in RE1-RE2 pointing a shotgun in the vaguest of directions at a zombie's head would usually decap him and his whole zombie entourage as if it were shooting 80 kilogram guillotine blades. There is no justification, however, for Leon jumping off belltowers and sticking the landing like an Underworld Vampire though.

The thing that stands out to me most is his final boss fight where he gets into a straight-on fistfight with a nasty BOW and wrecks some face. I guess Leon has Krauser in that regards considering his knife is the most effective weapon in that fight.

He can powerbomb Ustanak and run at superhuman speeds. I don't think it's in the same league as Leon kicking heads off. I also think he got the powers from the virus, exactly like Wesker did.

Are we just dismissing the fact that Leon's solution to a giant boulder...(read:the earth itself) being in his way is to just punch it until it is obliterated? I am pretty certain that even wolverine would probably just climb the thing given the scenario.
