The TMP is top-notch, no arguments there, but the Killer7 is unfortunately flawed; there's nothing wrong with the gun itself, besides the lack of exclusive upgrade hamstringing it compared to other completed guns, but its more there's nothing really left to use it on by the time you can buy it. You can get the Broken Butterfly for free, which is an obvious leg up over the K7's enormous 77k pricetag, and you get it early enough that you actually get the opportunity to use it for most of the game; the Killer7 has, what, a few JJs and U3 to use it on? Not to mention that by the time you get to Saddler, you'd be able to get the Butterfly's exclusive upgrade that finally lets it outclass the K7 otherwise, and you'll be able to afford most of it by simply not having bought the K7, and not having sold your presumably upgraded Broken Butterfly.

The big thing “wrong” about the Killer 7 is that it’s competing with “free.”

I used the Killer 7 on my last play through because I forgot to get the free Broken Butterfly and it felt wrong paying for it. I feel like if you don't realise how good the tmp is by playing the main game then mercenaries teaches you that by having it be a crucial part of some characters kits. A weapon I like but may not be that good is the Matilda where it's so easy to waste ammo.

The TMP is so good for that opening area of 2-1, it's so good for taking out projectiles and just quickly capping people in the knees. It's just terrible if you try to use it for killing people directly.

I like to think a lot of people thougjt the TMP sucks then they go play Hunk in mercs and realise just how amazing it is. Still end up rarely buying it due to attaché space more than anything.

In normal play, a weapon that is good at killing things directly also tends to be better than one that is mostly useful for its utility function. They've just got different requirements.

At the start of the game, the utility function of triggering melee is way better than killing power. TMP loses a lot of value by the time you reach Castle.

The TMP is actually great at killing normal enemies because it completely stunlocks them and you can do that to entire groups at once. When a single bullet can stop any movement toward you at a pretty significant range and you have another 49+ right behind it, and a pretty quick reload too, low damage doesn’t matter.

I guess it's subjective. Whenever I tried to use it, I went through so many bullets so quickly that it never felt like it mattered that I had 50 of them, it still felt like less effective ammo per clip than I got out of my Red 9. Headshot juggling is really easy on Ganados, though, which helped.

Switch up weapons. Also, yeah, that part you mentioned is probably the hardest part of the game and I'm currently stuck on it too. I think there's some poo poo you can grab if you run around that big room but then leaving Ashley unguarded becomes a problem. It's a tough segment. Also, put me down as loving the TMP too but my favorite weapon is by far the rifle since I love sniping and head shotting motherfuckers. Need to upgrade its reload speed though. I basically use the Red 9 for "normal" combat and picking dudes off, the rifle to snipe when I have some range, the TMP for groups at medium-ish range and the shotgun for up close when I'm getting swarmed or panicking. I don't think there's any one "right way" to play it (unless you're following a speed run guide) and it feels like the game allows you to pick your own style for the most part.

I think that section is literally impossible to do with only five bullets. You need to be able to keep the cultists off of Ashley in order to progress, there's just no other way.

There are breakable objects in that room that hopefully drop bullets. That's probably the hardest section of the game, though, and you can jog back to the Merchant, too.

Yeah I believe this is right, there are definitely items to pick up but I don't think I have the level of skill to start with that disadvantage. I mostly love the difficulty design choice, but it's occasionally aggravating that you can't just baby out and buy some ammo as a last resort.

I suppose you could sell and re-buy one you already have, although that pretty much rules out any chances of maxing your weapons on that run. It will give you enough money to buy-back most of what you've invested in upgrades for it, at least.

There's some shotgun shells up the rafters in the Garrador arena, so that might help. For some ammo-saving tips, once you knock down enemies, always use the knife to finish them off. You can also go down the room where you and Ashley stand on two tiles to unlock the crank and leave Ashley in the corner to deal with the enemies outside. While there's a hole in the ceiling where a couple enemies drop from, they are so far away from doors that there's no danger of Ashley getting abducted. Another thing is once you finish using the crank to move the stairway down, just run past the enemies with Ashley until you get the mini-cutscene of her pointing to the two cranks above the ledges, and then pause the game and restart from checkpoint. It should despawn all the enemies that were chasing after you.

That's why I wait until I'm just about out of ammo before buying the capacity increase. With the Striker, that can be up to 100 free shells!

I never had the game just gank me outright like you're describing (and I loving suck at it) so maybe run around the lower floor real quick, break some poo poo and waste a few zombies to get some ammo. I'm at the same point and struggling but I have bullets for days so that's not my issue at all. SO pissed this only coming out for the new consoles, which I will not be buying any time soon. Oh well. 4 years from now I'll pick up a used one and grab RE8 on the cheap like I did with RE7, Arkham Knight and 25 other games I found in flea markets and garage sales. Patience, BiggerBoat. Patience everyone.

Oh poo poo. Oh no. I thought the main hall was a safe space. I made it back through the library and turned to find the big Hat man marching toward me. I freaked out and unloaded on him then sprinted to the typewriter. RE2 remake is very good. However my mother needs to use my PC for most of the day due to WFH. How is the first game on the Switch?

coming up on the end of resident evil 7 after putting it off for months and months it's quite good, though the damage feedback on enemies stinks, the blood spatters on your screen are really annoying and i am an enormous dummy-dumb who missed an inventory upgrade and wasted like an hour juggling items because of it

The memory that will always stick with me from RE2 is running from X in the main hall for the first time, stumbling into Marvin, shoving a grenade in his mouth, and then continuing to run. After the grenade explodes and the top half of Marvin’s torso begin to splatter across the room Claire sorrowfully exclaims, “I’m sorry Marvin” as she runs away from a haymaker.

I also was very sorry to shoot Marvin with a shotgun and have his head explode from it. I should've expected that to happen, but at the time I was so rushed that I just used the biggest gun I had.

Resident Evil 3 feels like DLC. Yeah, a lot of the features are there, the story is fine, and the game is alright but most people beat it in under 10 hours on their first playthrough without much difficulty, and it doesn't have a whole lot of replayability that the other games did.

More like "under 4 hours." You can't get ten hours out of that game even if you try, although a slow first playthrough is going to get you about 7 or so easily enough. It's not really that much shorter than RE2make.

I took five hours almost exactly, and I'm not fast at solving a lot of the environmental puzzles. I liked it a lot but put the "must buy" price at $30 unless you really like replaying for scores & extra items.

Would any of you recommend the 2 remake then? Full disclosure, I bought RE7 and was kinda not into it. Everything is way too scripted, you are given weapons but they are useless against like 90% of enemies which felt cheap, and the paths through the game are way too narrow.
