Melee strategies based on shooting the dudes in the knees -> suplexing them -> knifing them when they're on the ground are pretty drat effective, though.

Also hilarious when you manage to suplex a guy so hard his head explodes.

Also because Leon arbitrarily doesn't remember that he can suplex people until the castle, before that all he does is kick people.

Super-Duper Supermen!
There really is no feeling better than kicking a cultist into his friend so hard he explodes.

Another thing that was great about RE4 was the sound design. Not just the guns, but the enemies themselves. The bug enemies click and clack appropriately, and the chanting of the cultists totally helps set the mood.

As an Argentinian, RE4 was loving hilarious. As cultists from not-Spain, a lot of the time they're chanting "cogedlo cogedlo cogedlo cogedlo" which, in Spain Spanish, means "grab him/get him".
In Argentinian slang, however, they're chanting "gently caress him gently caress him gently caress him gently caress him". :awesome:

IIRC the specific dialog they use when coming up behind you is Spanish for "I'm behind you, idiot".

Pretty much. They're saying "Detrás de ti, imbécil" ("Behind you, you imbecile").

The other phrase they repeat as a chant of sorts is "Morir es vivir" (To die is to live).

The Spanish is correct, grammar-wise, and it's obviously acted by native speakers, but not by Spaniards. It sounds like people from a more neutral-sounding country using Spain slang, if that makes sense.

Sounds a bit weird but you realize the game takes place in not Spain (pesetas), but it's mostly nitpicking on my part.

The headshot sound effect in RE4 may be the most viscerally satisfying clip in gaming history and no I don't care that this sounds weird. SQUISH.

Evil Within used the same sound, I'm pretty sure. Can't blame it.

The Red 9 and Blacktail have higher damage values in different versions of the game which is part of the reason why some people swear by them while other people went with a different model.

One thing I love about the HD rerelease on PC is that somebody made a trainer so after so many legitimate playthroughs over the years I can finally go hog wild with unlimited ammo/health/money and do things like use the mine thrower as a primary weapon and turn every plagas in my way into a fine red mist. :getin:

You should have gotten it on the GameCube. The action replay let me do that forever ago. I would just load the game up and find some other goofy way to play. It owned.

Those two are probably "un forastero!" (a foreigner!) and "allí/ahí está!" (there he is!). You also have "agarrenlo!" (grab him!).

Oh, and they say "cerebros cerebros cerebros cerebros" (braaaains braaaains braaaains).

Most of those are pretty much spot on, except for one near the ending which they translated to "Quick, use your muscles!" which actually says "quick, there's an intruder!". I have no idea where they got the muscles bit from.

The unfortunate thing about this particular video is that all the headshot squishes get covered up by the time-up sound :( but RE3 was actually a pretty spectacular game in itself with the powder-combining metagame element to it. Picking your battles fighting Nemesis and getting access to pretty ridiculous upgrades if you gamed it appropriately, gently caress I miss that now. RE3-Code:Veronica-RE4 was a pretty magical time to be alive.

drat, y'all've made RE4 sound very enticing for me. I'll have to pick it up during the Steam Sale.

Content: in older versions of Stepmania, by default, every 250(?)-arrow streak you get where your timing is perfect(/excellent/marvelous, whatever the equivalents for those two levels are), you'll get a quick popout of a character to commemorate this, accompanied by the soundbite "Toasty!"

I need to get a theme for 5.0 that has this feature.

God yes. :allears:

For those not aware:Sometimes in RE4 you come across fish in small rivers or whatever and you can shoot them to get them as healing items; they're not space-efficient (some can take up like a fourth of the starter inventory) but they're useful in a pinch.

About a third of the way through the game you find the cultists dumping bodies into a lake where there's apparently some sort of creature living. After the cutscene, as you approach the lake, there's the usual pre-boss recharge stuff... and a bunch of fish in the shallows! So you can actually shoot a few and get some to top off your health, but if you shoot the lake too many times the lake monster pops out and kills you instantly.

I think the best way to play RE4 is on the Wii, using a gun controller. It makes the game into a light-gun shooter, improves your accuracy infinitely, and just feels great. I kind of wish I hadn't sold my Wii now.

Then in Shinji Mikami's next game, God Hand, Gene never goes up or down ladders.

Seriously, if you haven't played God Hand, whenever you press the prompt to climb a ladder, Gene just jumps up the entire length. God Hand is basically Resident Evil 4 but a beat-em-up, and is full of just as many awesome little things.

It does make the game into a light-gun shooter, but there is plenty of light-gun shooters. Gaining mastery over the interestingly-limited laser sights felt really badass when you clear the shooting range and can reliably shoots axes out of the air. I played the wii version when it came out, but any other playthrough the gamecube controller jut feels so right for this game. Oh well, different opinions!

Interesting "cheat" for this part: If you drop a flash grenade into the water you kill enough fish to completely fill your inventory and then some. However this only seems to work on the gamecube version. I tried it recently on the HD 360 version and it didn't work.

Flash grenades also instantly kill any ganados with exposed plagas parasites, which makes them way more useful than you'd expect.

This carries over to later games too. Flash Grenades are absurdly useful, arguably the best kind of grenades period besides maybe ice grenades.
