Black August posted:Claire's arsenal focuses on fire-and-forget weaponry, with her power weapon being precision-based (Sparkshot), while Leon has precision weaponry for his stuff, with his power weapon being fire-and-forget based (Flamethrower) More than that, Leon's weapons have stopping power. Claire's weapons are all very good, but are most effective at medium range since it takes time to either mow down a kneecap or to let a zombie burn to death from an incendiary round. Meanwhile, if there's a zombie or three in your face right now, there is simply no other tool in the game as effective as the shotgun for dealing with it, and thats a powerful ability to have.

Since you can drop-down from normal to assisted difficulty mid-game I'm going to assume the two difficulties have the same enemy and item placements. Is Hardcore the same as the other two difficulties outside of ink-ribbons being a mechanic? Does REmake 2 have adaptive-difficulty as pronounced as RE4?

Just finished 4th Survivor. That is tight and tense. Any unlockables from 4th Survivor other than Tofu survivor or is that timer score at the end just for personal glory? E: one bit that makes me laugh is when a near hysterical Birkin screams out "G is my creation!" You didn't make it you fucker, you pulled it out of Lisa Trevor after she ate a nemesis parasite and God knows what other poo poo Umbrella threw at her while she was a guinea pig. Barely anyone actually makes poo poo in RE games, it's all stolen or just discovered! DeadButDelicious fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Feb 3, 2019 |

Toaster Beef posted:Danielle Riendeau is generally pretty good on videos and podcasts but her written takes can vary from sensible to buck wild Yeah. Waypoint's written content is very hit or miss for me (mostly miss). I'll just never understand articles like that, to be honest. I can understand using the game as a springboard for what the writer would like to see out of a survival horror game but, honestly, most of stuff like this is just a stream-of-conscious rambling that ignores what the game is. It's called Resident Evil 2 after the old game with the same characters - so it's obviously going to be an ER trauma simulator that let's you pick up and manipulate every item in the world! It is interesting to think about the ramifications of wholesale looting the place when there are potentially other survivors out there but the pieces doesn't go into that all that much to actually matter or make a point other than paying it lipservice - which is basically 90% of all Waypoint writing. In other news, I decided to run through the original Resident Evil 2 on my PS1 and I still enjoy the heck out of it. Let me tell you, when I picked up handgun ammo and got 15 rounds out of it, I nearly broke down. Beautiful beautiful ammo! The bowgun wasn't as bad as I remember it either. You got a shitload of ammo for it and it tore up zombies really well. It makes me pine for a "Battle Mode" where they up the enemy count and add tons more ammo for you to go hogwild with.

I feel like I'm discovering I'm hosed at the very end of the game. I'm fighting Birkin's final form on the train as Claire, and I feel like I don't have enough heavy ammo to do the job. I only have 34 minigun ammo, 7 acid grenade launcher rounds (and the grenade launcher loads really slowly), and a bunch of smg ammo. The boss is repeatedly eating me up. I really wish they restocked you with minigun ammo between the previous boss and this one.

The SMG is deceptively powerful so might be better off emptying the minigun and then the SMG into him than messing around with acid rounds or just firing one then switching. I killed him earlier with a few flame rounds and a shitload of SMG shots, about 4 or 5 upgraded clips. Didn't have any minigun left after the previous fight but didn't end up having to use the high power pistol ammo I'd saved either. I hope you aren't hosed. There's some large gunpowder in the train car I think so maybe you can make some ammo if you have any high grade left in the item box? thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Feb 3, 2019 |

Viridiant posted:I feel like I'm discovering I'm hosed at the very end of the game. Make sure to focus on the eye that opens up near the end of the sequence. I was in a similar situation near the end of my Hardcore run—no ammo except for a single rocket leftover from the Mr. X fight and the unlockable Samurai Edge which fires slowly and does poo poo for damage—and while I died the first time after shooting off the rocket immediately and followed it by plinking helplessly with my pistol, the second time I held the rocket until the eye opened up and got him that way. In your situation, I'd probably lead with the acid rounds until the eye opens, then immediately dump the SMG and/or whatever is left from the minigun into him, and hopefully that'll do it.

I hit the miniature eye a few times with the grenade rounds, then unloaded on the main eye with the minigun and smg and killed him RIGHT before he could eat me again.

What are the best uses of Claire's different G. Launcher rounds? Is Flame more powerful than Acid? ... Is there even Frag rounds, now that I think about it? Are Lickers weak to Acid or Flame? Any other tips concerning it?

Acid is somewhat weaker overall but can be crafted.

Not sure if it was brought up or not, but according to some speedruning people the health for zeds is actually not RNG. Each zed has a srt HP value assigned to them, they just have wildly different health pools

About halfway thru Claire B about to rescue the kid. I hosed myself over hard with Leon A since I never got the magnum and only just barely eeked out a win. I thought I was hosed in the final fight due to lack of healing items and ammo. I'm also one of those slow players who aims constantly and takes my time soaking in the atmosphere and being freaked out so it took me like 12 or 13 hours. And, man, fuuuccckkk Claire's hundreds of different guns too. It's really annoying using up inventory space trying to collect all the poo poo you need and still maintain some sort of arsenal, especially early on when you're getting mismatched item upgrades and bullets. After a bit, I just tossed 2 or 3 guns in the box and had at it with whatever I had the most ammo for at any given save spot and just went machine gun. Claire's "cut scene" level was way better than Leon's. gently caress that Licker thru the glass in the interrogation room too. Holy poo poo. How are you guys "dodging" zombies? I try to dash by them like the old game and they seem to have a really long reach. I guess stun then dash?

Yeah, shoot the head until they reel back or you can shoot off a leg and run past them. They'll just be crawlers from that point forward too.

Reminds me of a speedrunner trick I saw last night: If Xzibit shoves you backward you can easily get back up, jog by, and wave (  ) while the AI does its tough guy (  ) animation and slow turn. The damage is negligible too as long as there aren't hungry-hungry hippos where you land.

Just got caught by Irons in some real bullshit where he loving saw through the cover I was hiding behind or something so great now I have to go do the last forever again because I'm trying to S+ this fucker and hadn't saved since prior to G1 Kinda don't care though if I'm being honest, except that Deus X is real horny for it on this difficulty, he don't do no slow walking he's all go, all the time  Which wasn't actually such a big problem in itself, but made it a bastard to get past the enemies I'd not put down (Especially the licker who spawns between the West Office and Supply Room Game owns

So is 2nd Run just the first one, but going to places in a slightly different order with less story? I'm playing Claire 2nd Run after beating her the original campaign with her and this feels essentially like a "time attack mode". It's like the original game but with less cutscenes. Should I bother with this if I beat both Leon and Claire's new games?

Probably why he tried to give extreme power and agency to the player in RE4 but eventually it became DMC. Must be rad for him seeing the RE2 remake plus a new DMC game in the same year. Did the whole sewer sequence in one go. Christ those G-fuckers are gross. Can already tell I'm gonna like this lab.

I’m ok with the variable damage to take down zombies, but the game occasionally goes way too far with it to the point that it’s loving stupid. I just ran into to one that took 12 shots to the head to down and it didn’t even blow his head up. Like, gently caress off game.
