at least in this one, when you need your partner to help you open a door, they just teleport over rather than running against a wall for 10 minutes.

blackguy32 posted:God drat, somehow they managed to make a game with worse AI than RE5. Just ignore them, if you're playing as the Claire/Barry. They're basically invincible and as long as they're "able" to get to the door, they'll teleport over when you open it. Watch a speedrun of the campaign and you'll see how easy they are to abuse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_IVGbTAYNQ

If I haven't played RE5 yet, is it worth it to drop the extra 15 bucks for the DLC? Also, I still can't get RE4 to work

It was mainly while I was trying to stun the enemy with my flashlight, Claire would go off and do some stupid poo poo and get the poo poo kicked out of her.

Do you have the "partner has infinite ammo" skill? That'll help keep them from doing that a bit, but they still like to run up and melee things.

I'm so excited I can finally get RE5 on PC working. It's been years since I've played through the main game; everything that's come since doesn't quite satisfy like RE5's co-op does. It'll also be a somewhat new experience since I exclusively played splitscreen back on 360. It looks great for the most part--but I forgot how gnarly the mouth movements are. Not sure how I feel about dropping $15 for the DLC right out of the gate, though.

I never got the chance to play RE5 co-op, and it's still one of my favourite games in the series. I'd wait for the inevitable Halloween sale before dropping the money on the DLC though. I mean, it's good, but it's not that good.

Yeah, a friend and I have been trying to get through the RE 6 campaign in co-op, but it's such a slog at times, especially if you just want to have fun shooting stuff and don't feel like mastering the melee system. Now that RE 5 is on steam I think we'll jump over to that.

As someone with that opinion, I'm curious when you started playing them and which one you played first. I bought the original RE game when it first came out and think RE2 is the best game (REMake is it's own thing, it's not fair to compare it to the older ones), but I'd like to know the perspective of someone that holds RE5 in such high regard.

The coop add a lot of fun to it, plus it gets us to the showdown between Chris and Wesker. It is hard for me to go back to a lot of the old stuff anymore because I played them to the point where it feels like I am playing a loving door opening simulator. For fucks sake Capcom, I get that it is for nostalgia purposes, but at least let us skip those drat loading screens. My least favorite is probably Resident Evil 3. I still can't get over their choice of a costume for that game and I really just find the game kind of bland. She doesn't even bother to take off the sweater wrapped around her waist. But im not counting RE:0. That is easily the worst for me. But I am weird, RE:CV is my 2nd favorite. Finally, I can't help but think that Raid mode in Rev 2 is super formulaic. I really hope Capcom patches in something because it feels kind of dull. I kind of wish they would just port the stages over from Rev 1.

I kinda hated RE5. I still have PTSD about endless, endless, endless instant-kill quicktime events. I honestly think the game could be ten times better just by their exclusion alone, but they're so ingrained into every portion of the game that Capcom would never do it. A shame; when they included just such an option for RE6 on the PC, it instantly improved my impression of the game. Backhand fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Mar 27, 2015 |

I started with RE2 then went straight to Code Veronica. I've never played RE1 in any flavor nor have I played RE3  That being said, I enjoy RE5 for the Wesker fights but goddamn I hate playing the game since it expects you to move around a lot in combat zones but doesn't let you dodge poo poo while you're aiming. I wish RE5 had the mechanics of RE6.

I've been playing them from the beginning, and I've pretty much played them all in order (except for REmake, since I never had a Gamecube back then, and spinoffs like Gun Survivor, which barely count anyway). RE2's probably my favourite of the classics. I never did finish CV, though if I did, that'd probably be a close second. With RE5, I think its that it's everything that I liked about RE4, but moreso. There's a bajillion unlockables, the gun upgrade system is back and now there's a ton of new guns, the story's even more batshit and it has Chris punching a loving boulder. And it has the best incarnation of Wesker in the series. I know RE5 takes a lot of poo poo, some of it justified (the limited inventory after RE4 is bullshit, there is no question), a lot of it unfair, but when you get down to it, it's a game I could - and have - played over and over again. And if I ever get some friends to finally do co-op with me, I'll play it again with them.

Resident Evil 3 is the best Resident Evil. Nemesis owns, being a dick to Brad owns, crafting loving ice grenades like your playing Parasite Eve owns, the nonsensical layout of the city streets owns, and watching the Umbrella Mercs be the worst paramilitary team in a series that also features STARS owns. Hunters are better than Lickers, even when they're goofy-rear end frogmen, and Carlos is actually a fun sub-character to play as for the first time in the series. Even the puzzles are peak Resident Evil insanity. Yeah, lemme just pop this stone book guarded by a lightning fountain into the hand of a statue so I can get at the Mayor's secret stash, which contains nothing but a car battery. Oh, this door in the power station is locked? Better alter the entire city's power grid to get in there and grab me some gunpowder. Oh no, Nemesis is back after killing him to death like eight times? Good thing this warehouse has a motherfucking railgun. RE3 is the best RE. Edit: I just remembered the part where the button to make the antidote to the crazy monster virus is also the button to unleash the crazy monsters.

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know if the FoV mod for Resident Evil 5 works on the steamworks version of the base game? According to the PC gaming wiki it can cause crashes on the Gold edition, but I was thinking of getting the standard version as the DLC's pretty overpriced.

I'm a bit confused on the whole RE5 on PC situation. If I bought the game when it was on sale with RE4 HD, I can play it without having to deal with GFWL, right? I don't need to buy a new version? If so, I'd be totally looking forward to actually playing that game co-op for once. I did everything there was to do solo on the 360 but never had the stomach to deal with the AI on veteran (I think that was the name of the hardest difficulty?)therealjon_ posted:If you bought it on Steam it's automatically converted to Steamworks.

RE2's probably my favourite of the classics. I never did finish CV, though if I did, that'd probably be a close second. That's interesting. RE5 definitely played quite well, a definite improvement to RE4, but I guess I just group them all together instead of separating the Alone In The Dark style games from the Gears Of War style games. I'd rather the over-the-should games have gotten a subtitle, like Revelations has, instead of being considered part of the main series, given the radically different playstyle. RECV and REMake seemed like a much better direction for the franchise, in general, but I enjoyed the horror more than the action. Although I could see someone starting to play them around the time of RE5 being very turned off by the controls in the first three games. They're intensely frustrating and very much a product of their time. That's also why I like RER2 so much. It's very much a combination of RE2 and RER and playing the campaign over and over to get S rank on everything still isn't all that tedious. Crowetron posted:Resident Evil 3 is the best Resident Evil. I like what they tried to do with the formula, but the constant fights with Nemesis drove me nuts back when it came out and I haven't gone back to it other than to watch Carcinogen speedrunning it every so often.

I've played through REmake twice, I've finished 4, 5, 6, and Revelations at least a dozen times each, I even have both Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles. I don't find anything in these games scary anymore. Nemesis, however, provokes some primal fear in me that I have never been able to overcome, and to this day I haven't ever finished RE3.

The first time I played nemesis was the only time the RE series legitimately scared me. Then I continued playing the following day and it had already lost its impact. Then once I found out that he dropped weapon upgrades hunting season began. But still, I'll always appreciate it for that one night.

It's not the lack of ability to fight him or anything, just the character himself terrifies me, even though he's far from the most monstrous thing in the series. And only in RE3, too. I can handle him in Umbrella Chronicles and sit through the second movie without batting an eye, but something about the monster in RE3 just causes me to flip my poo poo whenever he appears. There's probably some psychological reason for that relating to the fact that I first saw RE3 when I was pretty young, but this isn't the thread for me to be psychoanalyzed in.
