Sivek posted:As Moira, stun everything with the flashlight, and then either bash them to death or let Claire run up and knock them down and then bash them to death. This works for almost everything in the game. Don't be afraid to wait for the stun effect to kick in, as it might seem like an ironhead or whatever is closing in and will hit you but you'll almost always end up stunning them before they do. I don't think I shot more than a handful of enemies in the game as Claire. I found the partner AI to a complete non-issue. Just play as the non-shooting character primarily, especially in the Claire chapters when Moira can basically solo them. Natalia is much less useful since bricks are limited and phase into nothingness on any type of transitions. Yeah, I get that. It isn't so bad if I have good positioning. The problem comes when I get surprised and wind up in a spot I don't like. A good example would be in the factory just a couple hours ago; I wound up in close quarters with an exploder. I decided I was a little too close for comfort, and I should back off a bit before flashlighting the thing to death, so I turned around and ran back about ten feet. Turning around, I saw... that Claire had not moved at all, and was standing right next to the monster just kind of calmly staring at it. She then promptly took an explosion to the face. A few minutes later, the same thing happened with an Ironhead. Claire's AI just seems to kind of... blank when it gets close enough to an enemy.

Do you have the skill where Claire/Barry will actually shoot when AI controlled? Granted they do poo poo damage but it's better than just standing there.

They do poo poo damage, but the gunshot still has all the properties it would usually have, so an AI Claire with Unholstered can still shotgun fools off their feet.

Might be that the AI is on "Stay there" command? But if the AI is actively following you before you switch then I dunno. I don't remember the commands remembering different states depending on who you were playing as. I don't even gently caress around with iron heads. I just get a shotgun out and kill that fucker. They take too long to stun and most of the time I end up having to use more healing items.

ManOfTheYear posted:Goddamn the wrecking ball room in re4 on pro loving sucks. Any tips? I'll keep my recommendations as minimalist as possible and assume you don't have a Striker with the 100 round magazine upgrade because that makes this room (and the subsequent bulldozer sequence) pretty trivial: Leave Ashley up in the tunnel (before you drop down into the room). She'll eventually get grabbed by reinforcements but it keeps her out of danger for the first minute or so. When she is brought into the room, consider telling Ashley to wait and using her as bait to keep some enemies off your back. A few of them will crowd around her and, so long as you are confident in your ability to shoot out their legs (or throw a flash grenade) to make them stumble when they lift her, you can let them grab her over and over again without much risk. Pull the lever for the wrecking ball yourself. It's faster and you don't want Ashley anywhere near the small control booth because she'll probably get hit and die. You want her as close to the exit as possible (so you leave quickly) without being in the path of the wrecking ball (because that will kill her) or being immediately adjacent to the metal side door that ganados use to carry her away. Let the wrecking ball cutscene that occurs when you first pull the lever play out in full. Don't skip it. It reduces the time you have to wait for the lever to reset, and you're (obviously) unable to be attacked in cutscenes. If you have them to spare, use flash grenades to stun ganados and then just leave them be (or at least wait until the very last second to knock them to the floor). There's no real point in killing many of them because more will respawn. That said, if you are going to kill ganados, prioritize the big armoured ganados because they'll gently caress up your day. Crossbow ganados are also annoying but they'll usually miss you as you long as you keep moving, whereas the big armoured ganados tend to block your path (especially heading in and out the control booth). Kite enemies around the lava pit in the centre of the room between lever pulls. Staying in the control box is a bad idea because you'll probably get stunlocked and die. When in doubt, shoot a basic ganado in the head and kick them to clear a mob in your path. I find trying to knock ganados into the lava to be inconsistent, so just knock them down and keep moving.

So, I went and bought Operation Raccoon City on sale. Not a well-made game, but... weirdly enjoyable. Oddly, it feels like a Shadowrun game.

For some reason, when I first heard the Rust in Summer song in Resident Evil 5, I thought it was trash and really bad. While I still think it isn't that great, it keeps getting stuck in my head

If you use 360ce you don't even need 360 controllers. Coop is really fun but just so you know - Moira has health regeneration while Claire isn't so lucky. This worked out pretty well for me since I could play coop with a friend who never plays shooters otherwise.

Natalia's gimmick is both hindered and made actually actually somewhat enjoyable through the fact that the campaign is split-screen only. On one hand, what's the point of having the "only Natalia can see enemies through walls and let you be sneaky" when Barry can just screen look and get the same info? There's no need for communication other than "uh poo poo, did you maybe miss something through that hole? This door is still locked" But on the other, if the only way to deal with the invisible guys was to listen to both your partner AND the character in the game yelling at you to aim at certain points on the screen and when to shoot it'd be way more frustrating. Granted you have different ways of revealing those guys without that help. Brick is never not hilarious though and pretty much on par if not more powerful than even the magnum

Big Capcom sale on Steam, pretty much everything RE is discounted except the recently-ported RE5 DLC. Although the Gold Edition of RE5 is discounted so I guess if you've never played RE5 now's a good time to start!

So tempted to double dip but I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy stuff on Steam if I already had it on another platform. Although RE6 PC is really tempting if only for the ability to skip QTEs.

... Huh. I just started Raid Mode today, expecting something along the lines of Mercenaries from previous installments. Maybe it is like that at higher levels, but wow, does it start you out with baby stuff. I played the first four levels and they were putting me to sleep, with no option of immediately upgrading to something harder.

Yeah, the first levels of Raid Mode are baby stuff but it gets interesting and difficult quickly if you check out the daily missions or rank up sufficiently. Soon you get crazy stuff like disappearing enemies, giants who spew electricity when they die, guys who give skills to other enemies...

I'll probably still get it because I'm stupid and dumb yet have to buy everything that's Resident Evil related that isn't the awful novels, but Zero is just such a boring, pointless game that didn't leave much of an impression and I think that's worse than games like Operation Raccoon City and Resident Evil Survivor which were so bad it were memorable in how bad they were.
