I played RE8 on normal mode and I think that was the biggest contributor for me not getting much out of it. The enemies were totally pathetic and the game was extremely afraid of letting me run out of ammo, so it didn't feel like there was any resistance. It was still fun, but it felt like it should have been so much more.

I assumed Krauser and Leon had gone on missions together, Leon got pulled for his special mission training away from the unit, they went on the mission that went bad sans Leon, Krauser thinks it would have gone differently if Leon had been there maybe. More thought than the plot of RE4 deserves perhaps though.

Do people prefer RE8 in 3rd or 1st person?

Finished my second remake run. I was very frustrated by Saddler yesterday but I beat him on my first try today, I basically just needed to remember to be more mobile instead of sticking right up on him. There's a lot of map to work with, and more health items to grab if you move around it. My next plan was to play around with the infinite launcher for as long of a run as I read having fun with. I played up through the first merchant and I'm about 500,000 pitas short if I sell everything off. I guess I can just barrel through for a while with my multirun arsenal until I get enough treasures to buy it

I know it's primarily for VR but if you're not playing in VR it just ends up feeling awkward, like when you watch a movie designed for old fashioned 3D on a regular screen.

Re8 is just "fine" in third person. It isn't mind blowing and there are definitely some areas where the scale just feels off because it wasn't designed to be viewed that way Honestly if you liked re4r pick up re2r instead of village

Yeah even on Professional it's only really early game pistols that struggle with enemies. Once you're up and running even on Pro you can rip enemies to shreds with most guns.

It's something that actually existed in the original RE4 as well. Technically head shots/knee shots were never an assured stun. Instead they just had a multiplier to an invisible stun meter and depending on what your current in-game 'rank' was (the adaptive difficulty) that rank could exceed the damage output of a weapon. It just didn't come up super often because your weapons were scaling more than high enough to exceed it, but you could notice it in the Castle or whatnot if you were doing well and seemingly perfect knee-shots didn't stun. It stands out a lot more on a no-upgrade Professional run but not a lot of people were doing that.

More thought than the plot of RE4 deserves perhaps though. You play through the operation in Darkside Chronicles and Leon is there - the basic gist is Krauser is jealous that Leon got hand-selected for the mission by the President, feels overlooked, and wants to prove he's just as good / better, then gets his arm hosed up in the process and has to get saved by Leon (making him even more pissed off). The injury forces him out of the military and he basically spirals into a JRPG villain who wants power at all costs and revenge on Leon and so he goes to Wesker and eventually doses himself with the parasite. In that version Leon and Krauser get picked up in a helicopter (along with their local contact, iirc?), whereas in this remake the narrative seems to be that a whole squad led by Krauser got sent on a mission to wipe out cartels (on paper, anyway) and then some government power struggle led to them getting abandoned when they were trying to exfiltrate and wiped out except for Krauser, who was declared dead but managed to survive. This would seem to imply that Leon wasn't there, and Leon's other lines about it seem like he's acknowledging that it was hosed up without ever mentioning anything about him being involved. But Krauser does have that "remember the jungle?" line, so who knows? It also seems like in this version the jealousy stems from Leon getting all the high-speed operator assignments after Krauser mentored him in his unit, rather than the original version where he was basically just a hotshot government operative already by the time he met Krauser. There's also a bit in the remake about a journalist investigating the story who gets killed (by Krauser?) to keep it under wraps. The reality is they probably didn't think super hard about any of this stuff or care about how the story meshes up with a basically forgotten spin-off game almost nobody played.

At the Water Room for my Hardcore S+ and I had to take a break. Did the first part of phase 1 but keep having to reload the autosave because I'm down to one green herb and half life and keep getting JFK'd by the crossbow snipers. I'm using the Sweeper and Hand Cannon, man I just can't imagine even trying to do this on Professional with no bonus weapons. Thank you mercenaries.

I'd almost bet that if we were to get another dlc outside of Separate Ways it'd be about Operation Javier but starring Krauser solo.

It was still fun, but it felt like it should have been so much more. I had the complete opposite experience. I had a couple of moments where I was running on fumes ammo-wise, and nothing felt particularly unthreatening aside from the hag lady type enemies that were clearly not intended to be that threatening. Really glad I didn't play on hard. Folks have different experiences with games.

Working my way to Plat and noticed that the handcannon unlock was just to complete a pro run, not to S+ it, with no bonus weapons. Hallelujah I never have to go for S+ again.

I am once again asking for Leon's rampage power in the main game And more levels for Mercenaries. They should be able to add in some of the environments from the 2 crummy multiplayer games they made that would work good for Mercs

I wouldn't be surprised in Remake does the same basic thing. according to this, there's a weapon damage multiplier for rank, but it probably also has a lot of other effects. apparently goes from 1 to 11, broken down like: Assisted 1-6 Standard 3-9 Hardcore 7-11 Professional 10-11 when you're at rank 1 you deal 3x more damage to enemies than you do at rank 11.

Thundercracker posted:You can totally bone yourself if you didn't take a rifle too. Something I did once. It's still doable with a pistol but definitely meant for a rifle. Yeah, I watched a friend play and didn't want to backseat I couldn't yell at him to buy the rifle with free scope first chance he got. He gamely pulled through with the pistol but it was an unnecessary extra step.

I'm doing a no upgrade pro run in the original and even in that scenario the ganados react a lot more to getting head shot or knee capped than on the remake, the remake's design seems intentional in making a stun way harder to get, which, honestly, fair enough but it makes for a different experience

Wondering if it's realistic for me to start playthrough 2 on professional with infinite ammo hand cannon. It's unlocked and I would just have to hold on until chapter 2 where I can sell all my stuff for the infinite ammo upgrade, right?

I didn't really have much trouble with the Water Room on Standard. On Hardcore the game will start cheating, the ganados do their weird speed burst thing (the one they usually reserve for getting behind you when they're off camera) to grab Ashley and the guys on your level will exclusively go to their grab move just to make you waste time while Ashley loses ground

I started RE8 last night and the pistol/shotgun definitely don't feel like they have anywhere near the same amount of oompfh as the RE4 Remake weapons and I think it's really just down to audio/visual feedback both not being the same; like the pistol sounds weak as well as there not being much of a reaction from the enemies when you do hit them. Edit: What has just the right amount of oompfh however is the fuckin nasty rear end hand poo poo going on here god drat explosivo fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Apr 16, 2023 |

A Buttery Pastry posted:I feel like it can be reconciled with Leon being given a solo mission within the same operation, where Leon is only able to join up with Krauser again after the rest of unit has been wiped out. That's probably the best answer, since it still allows them to keep the hilarious ending to Darkside Chronicles where Krauser sees the villain transform into a big monster with glowing weakpoints while bleeding profusely and screaming in agony and get defeated in less than two minutes by two guys with handguns, but Krauser's internal monologue is "That must be true power. I want to also do that!"
