Spiffster posted:Yup. They want you to actively save yourself this time around. or you could, you know, grab the broken Shotgun before entering in the first place Spiffster posted:Decided to play Chris' campaign in Remake before going to Revelations trying to see if I can actually unlock that drat Launcher for once. Don't know if I will make it but this is still going to be the fastest I've ever played as Chris. Plus I've gotten really good at juking these zombies and made it through most of the 1st mansion encounter with dropping maybe 3 or 4 zombies overall? Nice to have ammo for when the hunters actually arrive.  Speaking of dropping zombies, does anyone here actually bother burning the corpses anymore? Some are practically mandatory burns (such as in the lab area unless you want to risk the fuel exploding in your hands) but in more than a few cases you can just splat a zombie in a frequently visited area and leave them to mutate, because as long as you don't go stamping your feet around too closely they'll just stay dormant and some even fail to mutate in time before you leave for the Guardhouse/Residence (and then they end up replaced by Hunters when you return anyway).

Learn the map layout and see when you will be back If there is a chance, burn, if it's a one and done, don't worry about it. Edit 2: Came in just over 4 hours on Chris's Playthrough. Got The Samurai edge but man I thought I was blazing. Cutting off another hour to get the launcher is going to suck

It's easier to do it with Jill. Doing it with Jill will unlock the Rocket Launcher for both Chris and Jill. Also, skip all the cutscenes and don't bother with trying to get any of the good endings. Although you should save Rebecca from the Hunter, because you are not a monster and that is a minor detour.

Got the point across and saved ammo for the tyrant. Yep. You get to skip the 2nd tyrant fight and just be an rear end in a top hat to everyone. That being said, the rocket launcher is so underwhelming. You would think that it would set zombies on fire or blow off their heads or something, but nope.

Her timeline changed a lot as more games came out, but basically, her night looks like this: survive helicopter crash, fight zombies, watch teammate die, team up with convicted murderer, fight zombie dogs, survive train crash, escape giant death mansion, fight inexplicable Tyrant, fight giant leech monsters, hike a few miles through zombie dog forest to second giant death mansion, catch a fitful nap in death mansion dormitory, watch second teammate get bitten by giant snake, only manage to save teammate due to backup finally arriving, hear later that teammate's died anyway, get cornered by monsters, get shot by commanding officer, barely escape before second death mansion explodes. This is in her first two days as a small-town not-cop, at the age of 18.

Heck she and Leon are super rookies. Both of them on their first days survived some of the worst poo poo imaginable, but she did double duty. Bet she was mystified when she stumbled across UMBRELLA (TM) Brand Magic Crates. You mean I was throwing this poo poo in the floor when I could have put them in a box!? That our she chalked it up to delirium. I'd be seeing things two after just over two hours of Horror like that.

Weirdly the description for that video says that it has "fixed (misspelling, missing lines) english subtitles and translation are provided by ResidentEvilLive.ru" so I'm not sure who to blame for that. Also seconding the thanks for that link, I'd been super-curious about the stage play! Is there like a legit way to buy it outside of Japan? I'd happily pay a reasonable amount of money for higher picture quality and better subtitles.

Learn the map layout and see when you will be back If there is a chance, burn, if it's a one and done, don't worry about it. If you wanna go fast easily you'll wanna play Jill. Take advantage of the lockpick for the early mansion bits, grab the shotgun before you get the armor key and the grenade launcher before you fight the death mask room crimson head. Grenade launcher breaks the game over its knee. Use normal grenade shells for the crimson head. Grab the incendiary rounds from the eastern stairwell save room before going to the residence and use them to kill the plant really fast. Use the acid rounds Barry gives you after picking up the dog whistle for the library Yawn fight (dont bother fighting Yawn 1 the assault shotgun isnt that big of a deal). Let Barry die because his magnum one shots everything in the game including the Tyrant. You should really only need to kill 3 more monsters at this point so you'll have 3 extra shots for safety too. It's pretty easy to get sub 3 hours with very little practice. Ideally you shouldn't really need to kill anything in the mansion besides bosses and maybe a hunter later in the eastern stairwell but you can afford to tank through a couple of crimson head hits on normal since there's a bunch of healing items about. If you wanted to do this as Chris there's not really any tricks beyond the Samurai Edge or learning the route really well. Beyond getting the old keys his route for speed is the same as Jill's. The assault shotgun is your pal and on non-hard difficulties the game showers you with shells. You can save Rebecca but its not strictly necessary since she's not really helpful anymore at that point in the game.

Chris' other big advantage over Jill is that he can take far more of a beating, ridiculously so on easier difficulties, which makes any achievement-chasing kniferun a trivial endeavour when you can just tank your way through any mandatory fights while giggling like an idiot Aces High posted:Also how many times has the details of the mansion incident changed?

Last run saw 135 bullets sitting in the Item Box by that point, so I just thought "gently caress it" and spent 50 -60 of them... along with several mixed herbs because that acid poo poo would not stop falling at the worst possible time.

As someone that's read an embarrassing amount of fanfiction: The RE novels were mediocre, guilty pleasure levels of fanfiction. They weren't terrible, for the most part, and were decent junk food for someone familiar with the series. Like, I vaguely remember getting a chuckle when Jill skips the statue/gas puzzle and just breaks the glass on the case. The above is said with an exception, however: Rebeca. I don't hate Rebeca in the game series. Sure, her game was terrible, and she was a bit of the standard side character woobie in RE / REmake, but overall she ranged from "meh" to vaguely positive on the acceptable scale. Novel Rebeca is either some kinda self insert or a fetish character. Maybe both? I can't quite recall, memory block or some poo poo. I do know she had her own spin off book (or two?) that made RE0 look like a goddamned masterpiece of storytelling, though.

When I was first playing RE0, I figured the 23 people Billy Coen was convicted of killing were actually just stray zombies or something and the court just didn't notice. If I were writing an RE0 novelization I would just straight up make that Billy's backstory.

I tend not to think about it too much since when i'm running ideally that's the only bite that Chris should take lol. I've probably played this game too much recently. You can also shoot the zombie with the grenade in its mouth to make the explosion happen faster which is the quickest way to leave the elder room. Regardless, Chris' running speed doesn't make up for Jill's boss kill speed and how fast she can get through the first mansion trip (yay lockpick) and laboratory (yay barry magnum). It was a far more pronounced difference until I got way better at doing the relay races, but I think the difference now is around 5-10 minutes at most between Chris and Jill bad ending for me
