Yeah Jill's was fairly reasonable for the scenario, I'd say. Rachel and Jessica... less so. I'm just talking about their normal campaign outfits, I dunno what pirate Jill is like because unlocking some of those costumes is a bit grindy in Raid Mode.

Speaking of Jill and RE3, I've been trying to play RE3 lately but just been doing really badly, it's been very frustrating for me. Does anyone have any tips? For example, Fereydun said that the grenade launcher is the best gun for her, I'm curious about why that should be as I've been hoarding Magnum rounds so far assuming that was the most efficient way to use ammo.

Because the grenade launcher is extremely kickass and has all sorts of utility rounds (like freeze rounds for Nemesis  ), and it is also very fun.

I love the idea of an RE protagonist being actively annoyed that she's still dealing with this BOW poo poo.  Everyone else is sort of casually like "yeah this is our life now" but I want to see someone that's just sick of this zombie nonsense.

Use the reloading tool and gunpowder to create shotgun rounds up the wazoo and shotgun everything to death. Especially once you get the enhanced rounds (done by mixing gunpowder 8 times). The thing is that the grenade launcher and shotgun don't have an important overlap when it comes to mixing gunpowder (B powder is only used to make acid rounds but why the gently caress would you make those over freeze or flame rounds) so you can pretty much trivialize moving around from place to place by shotgunning the poo poo out of everything in your path and saving grenades for harder enemies.

The TMP is great, you just aren't using it right  Use it for puzzles so you can save other ammo, and use it to stun enemies with a headshot with only 1 bullet. It also kills flying Novistadors in one hit and works great against El Gigante.

Well, I only saw Degeneration once, but as I recall that was pretty much how they summed up Claire's character. If everyone else wanted to go off and fight giant pus-spewing monsters with swords for arms that was fine by her, but leave her the gently caress out of it.

The game showers you with ammo for anything you carry around. Also you should've shot all the medallions.

Look, Claire made it through Raccoon City and made it through an Umbrella concentration camp and loving Antarctica. That was enough poo poo for a lifetime. If her brother wants to go punch boulders in volcanoes and fight mutant supermen, good for him. Claire went "gently caress that noise", went back to college, and got a real rear end job. Of course she's pissed to be in BOW clusterfuck land again. Especially if she got stuck with Barry Burton's loving daughter and not the actual man. That's like getting stuck in a highrise full of terrorists and being paired up with John McClane's..... nephew. That's just some spiteful poo poo the universe is doing to her and she's not having any of it.

All 15 present in the village area anyway, since they were blatantly marked on the map. No idea if more exist in the game since I've not noticed any nor have they shown up on the map since and if shooting all 15 did anything special I didn't notice. I'm actually kinda having ammo problems in general with RE4 right now, just got past the section where I needed to protect Ashley while she turned some cranks and poo poo and it was kinda tough and really annoying and chewed through nearly all of my ammo. RE4 has been such a divided experience for me so far, I like it when it's doing giant fish fights on a boat and not when I'm dealing with a dumb escort quest where I kill lots of enemies some of whom randomly burst into bastards with significantly longer range and double hitpoints. Dying doesn't carry much penalty so it's hardly much of a bother but I still just don't really enjoy the combat. I originally thought them randomly bursting into dickhead enemies was tied to whether or not you wanted to risk headshotting them but I swear I've shot dudes in the chest only to have their heads suddenly explode and ruin my day. Never mind that I score accidental headshots all the time with the shotgun.

Also, after you get to the castle, start shooting them in the knees and suplexing them instead. Its much cooler. You will eventually get through it simply because of the way the game is designed. The more you die, the easier the game gets due to adaptive difficulty.

If that doesn't matter, go for the one with the better controller.

Is RE4 better on the PC than the 360? I picked it up on 360 a while back because it was on sale for cheap and it just...doesn't feel right. Also it looks a lot worse than I remember, but of course it's times have changed.

The RE4 that was released on the PS3 and 360 is "Upscaled Edition." Get the real HD version on PC, I've heard good things about it from friends and this thread in the past; the controls are good on Mouse+KB and the graphics are actually HD. Also the drop rates on the PS3/360 Versions are lowered for some reason, making it harder than you would be used to.

Is there any difference in the content/weapons/costumes/whatever? Are you sure your PC can't run revelations? I mean it used to be a 3DS game, so even with fancier graphics I can't imagine it has -that- high of system requirements. Content-wise they should all be the same, though the DLC will obviously be cheaper on the PC by virtue of steam sales every other day.

smenj posted:I saw an explanation many pages ago in this thread of RE5's dynamic difficulty system, where the game would adjust damage enemies do to you, damage you do to enemies, ammo drops, etc., all on the fly (within certain boundaries depending on the difficulty setting you chose). If you hurt enemies a bunch without getting hurt or dying yourself, the difficulty goes up and stays there until you do. RE4 has a similar system, and I figured that it could be why I was struggling much more on my last playthrough on PC, since I'd been dying much less than I had previously. Could it be that this is what's happening to you? I'm not sure. I had to keep restarting at a checkpoint the other day, and there were about seven or eight crates in all. One of them always dropped launcher rounds, but the others seemed random. Sometimes it was all $$$, sometimes I got a bunch of shells, other times it was mostly money with a few randomized ammo drops. And I didn't seem to be getting more ammo after repeated restarts. I'm not sure if it's adaptive, really, or more randomized. God I suck at killing those roach things...

Of course that's probably because having a higher headshot rate means more to me (who usually goes for the head or the knees) than doing 6 damage per shot The problem is that headshots are not actually a big effectiveness multiplier. They are an instant kill but they deny you the ability to stun an enemy and then use a melee to damage/knockback multiple foes at once and (obviously) are not a factor on certain kinds of enemies.
