Gameplay question I was just thinking: Does anyone know if by breaking an object (crate, vase, etc) it will spawn an enemy ever? Obviously not counting creatures already spawned or placed on the map.

Yeah I'm not having much fun either, started on hardcore cause a review said the game was too easy on normal. Played the remakes on hardcore first time and they weren't too bad but this feels pretty rough. Decided to put it down for the night and come back tomorrow when I'm not tired from work.

I didn’t have any trouble with it….well besides realizing you can end it by going somewhere…but I was also playing on casual…which is pretty good (for me) so far.

Okay did it. Had one more health than normal, Jesus. Basically, keep hanging around the roof area until big boy shows up and then wait abit, make your way to the new opening at the other side and just kinda get yourself trapped in and the cutscene will start. Its not planned out well.

One of the fun things about the opening village standoff is that the hammer dude has friendly fire turned on, so you can rack up quite the body count by kiting the small fry into his area of effect. I got up after the victory cutscene to find a big stack of trash drops from Lycans who got accidentally hammered to death while I was freaking out.

I like watching this game on Twitch. Chat just turns into pure kink horny mode whenever the witch ladies show up. Looking forward to getting off work soon so I can play more. This game is so good.

I'm only a few hours in so it might change - but it's definitely scarier than 4. Not even close to RE2R or 7 but definitely scarier than 4.

Control Volume posted:What the hell am I supposed to do in the beginning? Big guy just kills me No seriously how the gently caress do I do this. Ive restarted a dozen times. The guy with the hammer has caused two of them. Every guide is saying "oh just stand your ground and itll end" or "let the big guy hit you" or "run to a path that opens up" and I have none of these. I have no victory condition, nothing new happens, I just run around until I hit a dead end and die.

I have no victory condition, nothing new happens, I just run around until I hit a dead end and die. There are at least two house you can barricade the entrance to burn through time. One has a ladder to escape through the basement. The second has an exploding red barrel on the inside by the entrance. Run into the the first house and barricade the door. Find ammo and resources. Take some pot shots though windows and holes. When the door barricade is destroyed, escape down the ladder through the basement. Then run to the second house and barricade the door. Collect resources and craft if you need to. Shoot to kill all the werewolves trying to break through the door and window, but mostly the window. When the door breaks, shoot the red barrel to kill the poor bastard who just ran through the door. Then escape. Check the various locked gates (not sure if this is necessary to trigger anything). Then run around for a bit before running to the center. Hopefully this should trigger the cutscene to end the sequence.

Flour bags are also a low-key big survival aid. Shoot them when dudes are nearby and they blind/stun them for an appreciable amount of time. There are a couple around the area.

Yeah, that intro is way worse than RE4 intro. It's essentially the same idea, but RE8's village is busy as hell and really confusing to navigate in. Also not having roundhouse kicks suck because you can't create openings to escape now. Ethan really needed a melee move.

Thundercracker posted:Yeah, that intro is way worse than RE4 intro. It's essentially the same idea, but RE8's village is busy as hell and really confusing to navigate in. Yeah the level geometry definitely suffers from having to function both as a set piece area and also “the player will pass through this area again so add paths and doors to later areas even though that will make it more confusing to players who literally just started playing” Also agree he needs a melee move. I like how he complains to Mia at the very start “but what about all the combat training Chris put us through?” Yeah Ethan, what about this alleged “combat training”?!

All of this done after the "Youre kidding me!" voice line. I need to know the exact trigger conditions to check them because I honestly think I cannot win right now, I think something got hosed up in the save e: I spent 10 minutes on a ladder one try too so its not just time based

If you block an attack then press the block button again it'll push the enemy back and often knock them down, that's the melee move It is kinda finicky though

Is anyone on PC having a problem with the default windows cursor showing up in the widescreen bars when looking around in game whenever your cursor would land in that area (and a second problem with steam screenshots not showing it or else I would have included them)? Any idea what to do about it?

Started a brand new save, died to mooks right next to the gate that opened up. I ran inside and out of that area twice, once immediately when he spawned and once after kiting him around the map. Killed a few guys, exploded a few barrels for good measure. I give up. Im not going to play a game where Im following a loving guide, player experiences, etc and I still have no idea what to do.

Seems like a combination of time, gathering items, and then going back out to the center of the area and the stream where the cutscene starts. An enemy needs to grab you and be able to put you into the right spot. Staying inside where it's safe will never trigger the end of the event.

I have died in the spot where it said to go about two dozen times now. Two of those were to the big hammer guy (another one was to the big hammer guy somewhere else). One attempt had me waiting on the ladder (invincible safe spot btw) for 10 minutes before trying with no luck. Im not bothering with this. I dont care if its a glitch or just really stupid requirements.

I did it on Hardcore last night after about a half hour of attempts. Unlocked the left loop door, grabbed shotgun, went through the tunnels, ran into and barricaded the corner house, waited and shot the explosive when the door broke down, climbed onto the roof, jumped down and ran to the other explosive barrel to pick off off a few more, then looped around the middle through the previous area then back into the corner house, roof, jump off and looped the whole area a couple of times and got it.

It's not a great way to do a scene like this. The simple bell timer in RE4 was a much more elegant solution that felt less like the player is doing something wrong.

I wasted all my bullets and ended up using my knife trying to fight off the Lycans in a house until I guess I hit a point in my health that would mean death and one of them threw me outside, whereupon big boi with hammer appeared for a cutscene.
