I'm currently playing Claire B in the remake, just got to NEST. Yeah, I can imagine Annette Birkin as a Mastermind in a game of Resistance, watching the monitors smugly while sipping coffee from her "Mother of the Year" mug (a gift from her husband!).

I just got RE2Make a few weeks ago while it was on sale and have gotten S Rank on Standard for both characters, so I feel I have a pretty good grasp of the path I should be taking. I'm moving on to Hardcore, and drat. How does one manage to get S+ on this? I'm trying to think of the best 3 points to save at on the A scenario, and I just don't know if I can reach any of them in the needed time without taking a hit. I want to drop one before each of the Birkin fights, but I don't know if I could handle Birkin 3/4 or Birkin 3/Tyrant in one go on this difficulty. I had enough trouble with them on Standard. Also, are there good guides/LPs of the Hunk/Tofu and Ghost Survivor minigames? I can beat Kendo's without too much trouble, can almost reach the end of Katherine's, and can only get about halfway through NotHunk's. As for actual Hunk, I can just barely make it into the police station proper. I find it difficult not to burn though all my ammo trying to make zombies stumble enough to move by.

Cardiovorax posted:Hunter Gammas. They die to a single Flame Round, so you can save the pistol ammo in the future. On hardcore they can survive 1 flame round (and maybe lower difficulty if you don't hit them in the mouth?), but not if you knife them while they're burning from it. Also I want to reiterate how bonkers 2 Assault Coins plus Rai-Den gun is. I killed clock tower Nemesis on Nightmare in 3 Mine Grenades (to expose his heart each time) and 3 Rai-Den shots total, nothing else. It's a super fun gun because it does no damage if you don't hit an enemy directly in their weak spot so it's a really fun high-risk high-reward weapon. Honestly they should have put it in the main campaign with limited ammo.

Try saving when you reach the sewers then you can have 2 saves for the last 2 bosses. If you screw up Birkin 2, redoing the sewers doesn't take that long once you get use to it. I guess it depends where you struggle really.

IMO Birkin 1 and 3 are the easiest to cheese and Birkin 4 is a much safer and easier fight than Super Tyrant.

birkin 2 seems a lot tougher than he is but if you follow carcinogens play throughs he tells you exactly what you need to do to kill birkin 2 every time, i don't think he even really gets a chance to attack you as long as you do it right. i don't think you really need a save before birkin 1, the fight isnt that bad even without high FPS and routing to get to him and kill him in twenty minutes helps a LOT with the rest of your run. it's easier to get spare minutes leading up to birkin 1 than it is to make up time after the sewers imo. i always made my first save after birkin 1 since i would often gently caress up my routing in the next part.

First save *after* Birkin-1 (it's not a hard fight). Second before Birkin-2, third before Birkin-3. If you've played your cards right, it's not terribly difficult to get through NEST quickly, it's just Birkin-2 is a complete bastard. Then again, I was crazy enough to do Birkin-2 in such a way that all the damage came just from ramming him with the boxcar (it is HARD) so I could save the flamethrower ammo to strategically put down vine zombies in NEST. Birkin-3 is a classic Dark Souls fight where you just do it over and over until you can read all his tells. Also, pick up every frag grenade but don't use any of them until endgame. You need to use them all on the Tyrant to make it safe.

I always want to make a save before the g monsters in the sewers because I seem to always get grabbed by them. I hate those things more than anything else in the game even though there is only like 3 of them.

One of my favorite little details is Annette's photo as a mastermind, she's the only one not looking directly at the camera, as if even on her first day at the raccoon city facility when some mook was taking her ID photo she was lost in thought about BOWs and checked out of the real world.

I think the idea behind the final boss (on higher difficulties) is for you to concentrate on dodging and only shoot while you're in bullet time. You can probably clear 4+ glowing bits in one dodge that way, because of the auto-aim (if you save your magnum ammo). Some of his attacks you can just sidestep though. itry fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Apr 21, 2020 |

I have been banging my head against REMake (I have restarted to save on ammo) and found out that if Richard shot Yawn one more time, I would have watched a cutscene of him dropping his autoshotty for me to loot. Instead, I got the mask and ran out, getting a cutscene of him screaming and no shotgun drop. Why is that a thing? This is harder than hard mode RE1.

After giving Richard the serum, I figured he had enough of the snake and went to sleep. Thanks, Jill, for not bandaging him. I was in no condition for a boss fight and stumbled my way into every zombie, before getting a feel for dodging and aiming up with the shotgun. Protip: You can't aim up with the pistol to headshot zombies like in the PS1 RE games. I think RE1 Richard just gets murdered while you are away, if you give him the serum. Invisible enemies are a thing in REMake. Forest never became a zombie on me in this version and I am not going back to test him.

Decided to replay RE2make while waiting for a good deal on 3. Still love it, but I'd forgotten how closely it hits my tolerance for repeatedly looping around the police station while incrementally making progress. Fast travel would kinda break the feel of the game, but it sure sounds tempting sometimes with how many times the place I need to be turns out to be approximately as far as possible from where I am at the moment. How's 3 fare along those lines, is it also a convoluted puzzley design or did they move towards more linearity?

I usually save in the Club Key room or main hall before Hell Hallway (Leon)/during Sherry's segment (Claire), either before the G-Adult room or G2 depending on how I'm doing, and then before G3.Captain Hygiene posted:Decided to replay RE2make while waiting for a good deal on 3.

I can count the amount of times you have to 'backtrack' in RE3 on one hand, and usually it's a 10-second jaunt back down a hall to unlock a door to a new area. Each time features something fundamentally changed too; it's about as linear a game as you can get. Kite Pride Worldwide fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Apr 22, 2020 |

I can get behind that, I think the convoluted puzzle style has its place but I'm not sure I could handle too many games in a row hingeing on it (especially if I break out RE7 next). I'm generally on board with a linear experience, if it's done well.

I still love it, though.
