I just got RE5 Gold edition over PSN+. Do I really have to go through the campaign to access the DLC?

Game doesn't have a manual and it doesn't explain poo poo, nice job there Capcom. I actually find the game to be rather decent but this kind of poo poo just irritates me.

Just finished Leon's first chapter and this is turning out to be the trashy epic B Movie I always wanted to see. I definitely think reading this thread first and seeing a lot of the things that should have been explained better in the game has helped make the game more enjoyable for me from the start. I enjoyed the location diversity. Really was what you would expect in a full RE game vs just one chapter of one campaign. Besides the mentioned poor feature description, save vs checkpoint, and the annoying why can't I short the corpse before it gets up...I really don't have many other issues.

Ok just got done playing for 8 hours, I have some questions. Do Leon and Helena not share inventories? Or any character? Helena had a shotgun and rifle but when I joined a pubby game as Leon he only had his pistols, same with bullets and healing items, not the same as Helena at all. How do I get more maps in mercs? I only have urban chaos, I also bought the DLC ones but they ain't showing up in the mercs menu.

You unlock weapons for a character either by finding it in the stage or by completing that entire chapter as that character. (From start to finish.) Each character has to unlock the weapons on their own. Mercenaries maps are unlocked by finishing the story modes. I don't know about the DLC ones, I didn't buy 'em

Helena starts with a shotgun. Every character has a unique initial layout. As you go through the game you'll both get the same weapons. F'r instance, Sherry starts with a pistol that fires three rounds at once and a stun baton, Jake has his martial arts, Leon can dual wield his pistols, etc.

GT: Anklebiter25 I'll be playing a lot today, so you or anyone else is welcome to message me if they want a partner. I've finished Chris and Leon and am currently on chapter 2 of Jake. I'm looking to finish Jake and then I'll play whatever. By the way, does anyone have skill suggestions for playing on professional? I'm currently playing on normal using more item drops, def 2, and guns 2.

How is the partner AI this time around anyway? Does it use all your sprays at the first sign of trouble, firing off your ammo into a wall?

They are invincible and have unlimited ammo. There's no inventory management with them this time around.

For my professional runs I used Firearm 3, Defense 3, and Infinite Shotgun. It really didn't seem a lot harder than normal, so I'm curious what the "No Hope" difficulty will be like.

The AI also won't heal you if you're low on health. If you go down, yeah, they'll revive you, but they can't heal you at all. They also can't give you ammo if you run out since they have infinite. It isn't terrible, but it can be annoying if you go down, and the AI just stands there watching you try to get back up.

I'm happy enough with the AI reviving me on low health and with no ammo when I take into account the fact I don't have to look after them at all and I can use them to take the heat off me without caring about their health. In Leon's campaign in particular, when you split up from Helena every now and then, there were times I had 0 ammo (this is my huge gripe with the game - don't make sections where one character has to wait around or snipe from afar and not give them ammo or a mounted weapon or something, loving stupid) and if she'd had a HP bar I would have never advanced from that section.

If I recall every time that happens there are respawning sources of ammo, they just take time.

The worst example of it and the one I was thinking of when I wrote that was when you're in chapter...2 or 3, underground anyway, and Leon's stuck on a little rock and Helena's gotta go around and activate a bridge or something. There are zombies that drop down behind Leon, which you can kill for ammo, however in my play through at least I had no ammo the entire time and it took around 30 seconds for one zombie to drop down. It was a lot of standing doing nothing, at least. Also Chris's end boss. I had quite a lot of times where I didn't have any ammo actually apart for when I played as Jake.

Alright I caved. What's the "important" stuff the lack of manual doesn't tell you? I'm rather terrified of spoilers (I TAKE MY CANON SERIOUSLY OKAY), so you know.

How to dodge, duck and roll. Brad Shoemaker, of giantbomb, pretty much played through the entire game for review without ever knowning you could slide, dodge or roll around on the ground. It's why he gave it two stars and why he could only barely tolerate the Chris campaign (because it's the closest thing to Gears of War in the game). The RE5 manual told you just about everything concerning the controls and what you can do with your ally and all that stuff.

I learnt about the healing tablet refill from the loading screens, but one important note: it only works when you have no tablets. Pressing R2+Square/X while you have tablets does nothing for you.

The timing is just VERY strict, if you do it wrong you'll just eat a tablet.

Tremors posted:Just make sure you don't have too many tablets, either. On that note, who the hell thought that capping tabs at 17 when you can create them in multiples of 6 was a good idea? Chances are you're not going to ever have 3r and 3g and no tabs all at the same time (or the inventory space to even entertain the notion), but it is conceivable that you could be only mixing 6 at a time and not getting hit in the meantime. It's just an extra kick in the dick considering how miserable the inventory system is already.

As obnoxious as it was to have virtually nothing explained starting out, I did find it entertaining to continually learn new features about the game during my fourth, fifth, etc. playthroughs. "Oh, you're supposed to shoot the whoppers in the legs!" "Oh, you can duck while aiming to dodge poo poo!" It reminds me of playing Arkham Asylum, and not having the combat system click until the very end of hard mode on my second playthrough. I still have absolutely no loving idea how to counter things effectively. Sometimes I do it on accident, but that's it. So, in that regard, it's exactly like the dodge system from RE3.

On inventory: The game should allow you to "hide" some of your weapons so you can't select them with the d-pad or pick up any ammo for them. I feel like I'm just holding too much stuff during the later chapters.

It's not like it's an uncommon thing and RE5 actually did the same thing with the storyline from previous games for people who cared enough. The problem is that the loading screens don't last long enough to get some of the more important things from them. Mind you, the game could still explain some stuff in the actual game, that would help a lot more than a loading screen.

As much as I like the game I feel the lack of a store/weapon upgrade system was a bad thing. There was something great about going through RE5 with a partner deciding who got what weapon and so on.
