You can fight a spider. You can't fight a stroke that ultimately leaves you trapped inside your own body.

Friendly fire is a toggle when you launch a co-op session, just in case you like blowing up your friends! :shepface:

Actually you can, the problem is you have to hit "F" and "V" at just the right time and that's wicked hard.

Wesker is super easy to get the kill on, you just need to shoot him in the back (It's roughly 45 degrees each way from right behind him) or be good at countering his charge, me and my friend just back and forthed him super quick when we co oped it, if he can target the AI at all same principal really.

The protags also have a super cool special melee beatdown thingo you can do if you stun him. It's what I was trying to get Zain to do, but we didn't ever stun him for long enough for him to get the prompt.

The game has you covered, somehow!


So basically the thingy on her chest wasn't actually mind controlling her, it was pumping her full of drugs that weakened her will enough that Wesker could tell her what to do because I guess he's just the Zombie Drug Recipient Master Controller now or something.

It's actually at least slightly plausible. People who have recently taken hits to the head or suffered concussions, and of course people who are on certain hallucinogens or other mind-altering drugs, can be incredibly suggestible. Of course, the obvious hole in this semi-plausible theory is that Jill says she was aware of it, whereas if it was "realistic" suggestibility she wouldn't necessarily be conscious of how she's being manipulated. That and Wesker not actively giving her orders in combat raises the question of how he's giving her instructions.

I'd always assumed it was just Ridiculous Parasite Magic.

To be honest, P30 sounds like the sort of thing that would actually be very handy for our heroes. The RE-verse presumably has considerably more advanced medical technology than the real world. (I'm still annoyed by the one file that treats giving Lickers the ability to reproduce as "no big deal". Dude, you just made a horrible Thing That Should Not Be, which previously required atrocities on a monstrous scale to produce and extended periods of time, into a viable species. That is a Big Deal.)

It definitely has viable cryogenic storage and human cloning. There's also been a lot of research into using the T-Virus to cure cancer, which almost worked.

AradoBalanga posted:

Basically, we have Carlos to thank for Jill's predicament in RE5, since he went and made the T-Virus vaccine for Jill in RE3.

I've wondered for a while whether they meant to deliberately tie it to Outbreak or not. It's a plot point in that game that Umbrella never had a cure for the virus, but had developed a suppressant, which stopped the virus's progress.

RE5 seems to broadly suggest that the "vaccine" in RE3 was that suppressant, so Jill managed to develop immunity by constant exposure to a weakened strain.

You rip his bandoleer of sunglasses away, and throw it in the corner. Wesker screams, flexes, and a new pair of sunglasses materializes on his face from nowhere. He then smirks, smugly.

Well this is it~ The final not at all final video for the game! I hope you all enjoyed it.






And I'm sorry but the real update is not going to be out today. It's been kind of a huge thing with the editing and the audio got horribly desynced so I'm trying to figure out and fix that. Otherwise enjoy this video for today. The new one should be up either later or tomorrow.

Also I apologize for the videos and the quality. They do seem off (At least to me), and it's apart of the native recording. When playing the game seemed smooth...

Fun fact: CJacobs has residentevilmods dot com bookmarked for all his resident evil chris/wesker fanfic re-enacting needs.

Also this game is racist as gently caress for doing that to Sheva. Putting her in a cage??? The gently caress man.
Oh god you both are dorks how did this LP ever got off the ground? Though ok the game is kind of annoying and tricky. 'Here juggling five million things back and forth!' Also here's some lovely QTEs!

Ughh Chris is so anime, smanging his hand on the door. 'Come back and explain why you say 'urusborus' so weirdly!!!'

Wesker is going to make all the urusbourous cover the earth and maybe only the strong will survive right? I mean poo poo, all I can tell is two people are chasing after a dude and a lady and oh yeah, they saved a brainwashed lady. And murdered black people....

I actually quite liked this song at the time - it was possibly the only Creed I was really familiar with - though I somehow didn't see the music video until very recently. How did I miss out on this incredible work of... art... for so long?

(I'm guessing it was because Youtube didn't exist in 2001 and Rage was busy playing better music.)


Anyway, RE5... yeah, this part of the game isn't the best. Fortunately, it gets more interesting and memorable in the near future with the final parts of the game - even if it arguably doesn't exactly get more fun at the same time.

It'd make no sense otherwise. Which is kind of a nonsensical statement considering what game this is. :v:
