I disovered the thread somewhat late so sorry if it's been asked - CJacobs said he beat the game alone; how is it in single player? I always heard it's completely unplayable because of the grabs and bosses designed for two people the AI just doesn't deal with.

It's fine in single player, the AI isn't braindead as the internet would have you believe and can cope in bosses that require 2 people pretty well, I know since I played it primarily in single player and had no real issues.

Well, first welcome~ This trainwreck does keep rolling which honestly if it wasn't for the issues that we have, I doubt people would even watch.

Ummm from what some people say. Proxy bombs are useless cause AI Sheva keeps picking them up. So setting traps is a no go.

I played through first solo, but it IS better co-op. You just never give your partner healing items, because Sheva will use a red/green combo to heal the game's equivalent of a paper cut.

Re5 and really most of the other games Capcom released during this timeline had a love it or hate it feel to them. Most of them having to do with their multiplayer aspect. Lost Planet 2 comes to mind. EVERYONE who played the game solo hated it, but I only played the game with my friends and loved every second of it.

Always while shouting "Be careful!" if I remember right. It's kind of funny.

our every move is the new tradition
AI Sheva, even on an initial run, is like playing an online shooter with an aimbot on your team. She can snipe with a pistol.

She also can't exploit weak points, which is occasionally obnoxious, but as long as you consider her to be an Option from Gradius and equip her accordingly, she can be useful.

I always equipped her with the Stun Rod the first chance I got, and then she became my Items Mule.

Of course, I wish I had known that one of the purchasable pistols in the game had Piercing damage since Sheva only does body shots and it comes in handy with armored or shielded enemies.

I wouldn't say it's unplayable, but you're basically on the money. Playing the game solo is much harder and much more annoying than playing it co-op for sure.

I'm another person who's played it mostly in singleplayer. Some boss fights have annoying gimmicks that are easier to deal with in co-op, but singleplayer is fine, really.

RE5 is certainly a better singleplayer game than Left 4 Dead is, at least! Whenever I got grabbed in RE5, I remember thinking "at least I can mash buttons to escape this on my own, unlike L4D, where I'm just dead outright if the bot-survivors can't manage to navigate to me from the next room over".

My feel for how the mirrors rotate is d makes the lasers go left and and makes it go to the right because that is where the character is moving.

CJacobs posted:

That was purely due to where you left her. And the first time you died to the lasers Mr. cjacobs was when the sweeping laser randomly bounced off a mirror and you had the bad luck to not be standing 2 steps to you right.

Considering race is a social construct, if you get enough people to agree with you, yes.

This avatar was paid for by the Silent Majority.
When we were fleeing the burning city
And looked back from the first field path,
I said: "Let the grass grow over our footprints,
Let the harsh prophets fall silent in the fire,
Let the dead explain to the dead what happened.
We are fated to beget new and violent lasers
Free from the evil and the happiness that drowsed there.
Let us go"—and the earth was opened for us by a sword of spiders.

Is this info gleaned from finding serpent emblems? I"m playing through it again on the PS4 (I forgot how lackluster it is overall) and haven't seen squat... but maybe I'm just glazing over when most of the cutscenes hit.
