I love that they'll nap through a double tap and you can never, ever be sure unless you get the full exploding watermelon kill.

My personal theory is that escaping from a grab with no damage is only allowed in the raccoon city streets (hardcore) and the streets as well as the first area of the station before you meet Marvin (standard), as those are the only times I’ve seen it happen.

So I'm going for Standard S rank, just got the flamethrower with about 45 minutes left. Is it feasible for me to hit par at this point? I figure I'll be cutting it close, but the labs section should be relatively quick if I'm efficient. edit: Oh, and I'm on the 2nd run, so it's 3 hours for S rank.

I used the knife to test if they're dead or not. It loses durability pretty slowly when they're on the ground. Throw in an extra swipe or two after I think they're really dead just in case. Shoot a leg off and go to town! I don't think it failed me yet.

Not really a spoiler but a minor exploit that might manage to cheapen the experience for first-timers so I'll cover it anyway. Out of curiosity I've started loving around needlessly and I tried saving in the Main Hall while Mr. Stomp was close by. Obviously it doesn't let you save if he's too close but with just the right distance between you and him (perferably with him being behind those screens near where Marvin sits around and dies), it'll function as normal. Load the save and watch as the big dumb bastard looks around a bit then confusedly wanders in a random direction. Ideal if you're having first-time Clompy Problems, although not perfect since it won't necessarily stop him from walking your way and immediately spotting you again (in which case, just reload the save).

On my most recent playthrough I started to notice just how many umbrellas are all over the station and other areas. Not the Umbrella logo, but physical umbrellas. It works thematically because it's raining outside but also, I mean, c'mon, Umbrella. Now that I've started to notice them, they're all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one stashed away in half of the rooms in the game somewhere.

Right after you get the bolt cutters and head through the East side office, it feels so so good to use the flash grenade in that room after removing the chairs blocking the doorway on the side nearest the lobby. There are a couple of zombies in there already, possibly one that climbed in through the window after you came in from outside, then 2 more that bust in after you remove the chairs in the doorway. Flash grenading that whole room and then "whoop whoop whooping" out of there like Zoidberg and zig zagging around several zombies is one of my favorite things in the whole game now.

Related, feels super good to throw a grenade at the 4 zombies before the double licker hallway (there's one in the drug testing lab if you go there first). And I also appreciate the 4? zombies trying to smash through the door after you've killed Mr. X so you get to test the rocket launcher on some regular enemies. KABLAMO.

Why knee cap zombies if you can't stomp them? They still take a nice bite out of you if they get near you, as it's hard to shake them now. What am I missing here?

Once a zombie is on the ground and one-legged, one headshot will stun them from then on. Makes it monumentally easier to pass by them after that.

It’s also much easier to knife a zombie to death once they’ve been made to crawl. Stand on their back and slash away!

The fact that the most basic of regular zombies will occasionally just shamble back to (un)life even after eating 20 bullets is by far one of my favorite things about this. Even if it's sometimes a pain from a strictly gameplay point of view. A zombies defining characteristic is that it doesn't stay dead and it honestly cracks me up every time one of the fuckers starts up again after i'm positive that the room is now safe. Especially if i then panic and waste a bunch of ammo putting it back down. In totally unrelated news i think i'm going to re-start because i'm working my way through the sewers and i have literally 3 bullets left  DEAD GAY FORUM posted:Find dog kennel and think oh great, dogs. Did the exact same thing. I was pretty impressed that seeing the word "kennel" on the map gave me such anxiety even after all this time (i pretty much haven't played an RE game since the original version of this one!) a kitten fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Feb 4, 2019 |

I once had a zombie that I'd blown up with a grenade, shredded the flesh from its skull with a shotgun, and shot a leg off of continue to struggle along and try to bite me. The poor creature didn't even have much of a face remaining with which to bite my ankles. I really wanna try this G-virus thing because it apparently turns you into the god drat terminator!

I'm taking a breather before trying a hardcore Claire A run to try to get S for the SMG. Between the infinite handgun and knife, I should be good for eschewing the SMG by turning all the powders into acid rounds. I'm just worried about that time limit and harder boss fights.

while panicking and running from mr. x i accidentally used my flash grenade when a zombie grabbed me on my way down to the jail, so after getting the parking pass i was confronted by that corridor full of zombies and mr. x. luckily, i had a GRB herb and had downed it moments earlier, and the damage shield got me through a zombie bite and mr. x punch, which owned. i also made it down to the labs and forgot to get the magnum from the police station, whoops.

So I had started on Hardcore when the game came out, quickly realized this was impossible since i didnt know the game mechanics or where anything was and gave. Now that I have S or S+ on all 4 campaigns on normal I'm trying for hardcore now. After several deaths and restarts i've quickly realize that being around 2 more zombies in a tight space is pretty much guaranteed death. "Ok this time I'm going to deliberately get the grenade launcher as fast as possible" I think. Now I've died 3 times in a row while being tackled by zombies who are on fire

The double lunge thing they do can get you very easily. I want to just keep firing at the leg and trust that it'll come off but on hardcore, sometimes that leg will take a full clip of Claire's gun without coming off.

So 4th survivor is really goddamn difficult. Can someone let me know how close to the end I was? past the balcony where you jump down where two lickers and some crawling zombies are. Headed down the fire escape, near where the B scenario starts where it was filled with zombies, a couple Ivy's and a G. I take it if I had saved a flash bang for this I could have prob muddled through?

Saving flamethrower fuel by just doing tiny puffs to the guys in the lab really paid off in the long run. All that fuel did more damage then I imagined to the last bosses. I'm pretty sure the Birkin fights would be extremely hard to do in fixed-camera mods.

I always love that these creatures these scientists spend their entire lives working on (and usually die because of it) that are supposed to be either the "ultimate battle weapon and unstoppable killing machine" or "surpassing humanity" in the G virus's case, can be killed by the application of many bullets and/or a rocket. Things they definitely would never encounter when they get sent to take out some dictator or rebellion or whatever the people they're being sold to would use them for. I guess at least Nemesis took a shitload of ammo, a couple grenades, a full acid bath and then a railgun shot or two.

It isn’t hard to imagine use cases for g-style mutants, though. It’d be a great way to launch an attack while not being culpable for it. What, are they gonna arrest and interrogate a giant berserk monster? And you can set it loose on a suicide mission in a way that would be difficult to motivate normal humans to carry out.

Thinking about it the most successful BOWs Umbrella made are probably Hunters. They are reasonably intelligent/can be commanded (see C:VX) and are pretty lethal. They'd be decent in an urban warfare situation but out in the open they're less of a threat. The T-Virus just ends up being a phyrric victory device because it fucks with plants, insects, animals and people - it makes clearing an area much more of a problem than without.

Yeah hunters are pretty legit, presumably cheaper than a tyrant/nemesis and could probably cut up a squad of soldiers in a building or jungle (since generic soldiers don't have game protagonist powers of a jacket stopping big claws from disemboweling you and healing herbs) and you could just install like, spine bombs in them or something to get rid once the job is done.

The Tyrants being deployed in RE2 are pretty neat creations and seem designed for recon cleanups---at least that's why they're decked out in fancy suits and hats for. The G-Virus just seems like a total Frankensteinesque fuckup, though. A virus that keeps mutating most poo poo over and over until it caves under its own weight and appendages doesn't seem too practical unless deployed in extreme cases, Gotta love how Annette tries to make it seem like she's not that bad, even though the biotech lab computer's test case files are essentially peak mad scientist poo poo.
