It's been forever since my building codes class, but it seems like the RPD was FRESHLY moved into the old museum (almost everything was in boxes) so they'd have X number of months to comply which could be extended indefinitely if they filed as a historical landmark.

Basically wheelchair access is only really enforced in new non-residential structures, major points of commerce (malls, grocery stores) and government buildings deemed necessary to be accessed by the public (courtrooms, DMV, Social Security, USPS, etc.) with loopholes for ancient buildings.

So a central police station, not a precinct, in a historic building, that was recently acquired, could theoretically delay compliance until the heat death of the universe.

e: kinda beaten while typing

it used to be a lot stupider - in the original RE2 the RPD was a puzzle-laden death trap because Chief Irons was a crazyfuck

question for people better at games than me - im pretty much exclusively using gunpowder to make shotgun shells, because they seem like a good panic button. how stupid am i?

Vaguely. The high grade gunpowder can also be used to make mag ammo, which is an even better panic button.

Shotgun blasts are still pretty rad tho. Bisection's fun. :getin:

yeah i figured i was kind of borrowing from peter to pay paul but otoh i have a shotgun now, and those lickers arent becoming any less of a bullet-sponge in a hurry. qed, shotgun shells

can i just say i really miss the days when a shotgun blast would flip a licker on its back automatically? because it really sucks when they lunge through a hail of buckshot to dunk on me

irrespective of my gunpowder usage, Mr X now has me cornered in the Interrogation/Observation rooms and i think im about to get it given to me

my favorite part of RE2 remake is how all the intensely stupid bits have been taken out and replaced with Marvin being a loving bro

its a really good freaking survival horror game folks

I think calling the gator a boss is kind of a stretch. You just run from it for about 10 seconds and throw a grenade at it.

look it used to be an actual boss and im an old man trying to cope with this new crash bandicoot bullshit okay

I'm actually kind of shocked it didn't pan out into a real boss fight. They obviously put a lot of effort into making it and it's just sort of there and gone in under a minute without ever returning. At least it looks cool as hell.

man the OG RE2 had a whole zapping sequence with the gator

im reading the thread backlog and all the posts about taking the game so slowly and methodically that you finish with a 5 hr time are making me lol sadly as i look at my time of 7 hours


...to leave the police station

i wouldnt say i feel bad so much as i think its hilarious how bloody inefficient i am

like ill get a new key and be like "egh, no, the west hallway is zombie clown town. im gonna go look for the item i missed on the opposite side of the station."

answer - probably a knife

e. i really hope someone mods in the ability to get infinite minigun without beating hardcore on S+ because there are so many zombies and shooting them is so satisfying i really just wanna do a playthrough later where i turn the entire game into marinara

You can find trainers for the PC version shockingly easily that give you both infinite ammunition and remove the need to reload.

Claire's 2nd-run bonus weapon is actually a lot of fun when it's a .45-caliber full-automatic.

im gonna beat both A/B playthroughs legitimate first, which at the rate im going will take the rest of february

but boy howdy it was so fun in the OG RE2 to post up at one end of one of those RPD Halls O' Bullshit with Old Painless, holler something like "RARHGKLAHGAG!" and just hose the walls down

so i glanced at the DLC page and those utter bastard liarmen at Capcom are trying to trick me into slapping cash down on the barrel head for noir costumes without an accompanying Chicago Typewriter DLC?

ill say this for Assisted mode - i started a Claire A run to clear my palate after the Ada section on Standard Leon A, and this difficulty level actually lets you enjoy the visceral effects of gunplay without obsessing over ammo usage

its a lot closer to RE4 than standard. i think i might prefer it to a certain extent

e. the reduced enemy health also prevents a lot of those "oh come on" moments where one zombie in particular has like, 150% normal health

e2 seriously shooting things in this game is brilliant

bear in mind of course i personally am a gigantic baby that hates adversity

paranoid randroid
Mar 4, 2007
so i really, really didnt like the Ada section in Leon A for a couple of reasons, secondarily because the gimmick it introduces meshes about as well with the core gameplay as shoving a ham sandwich into a VCR, but primarily because its probably the weakest iteration of her whole look throughout the series

"Uhh, what?" Leon replies.

"SUBS OR DUBS NORMIE!"

Disposable Scud posted:

Going through RE3 now and while the alleyway nature of the game is bland it makes sense considering the technology limitations of the time. The streets of Raccoon Ciry are more detailed than Silent Hill's.

iirc the justification is that Jill sticks to the back alleys

ofc Raccoon City seems to be 70%alley by volume soooo take that as you will

and of course theres no excuse for the puzzles

i can highly vouch for running a catharsis Assisted run in tandem with your actual Tryhard run

im currently doing a Claire A Assisted, soaking everything in acid and hollering "YOU LIKE APPLES? HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?" to de-stress from my Leon A where i keep getting jumped by G-Blobs in the sewers

Wasn't Irons a rapist in the original? That was creeping on my mind during the orphanage sequence.

not as... explicitly

he was more deranged than he is in the REmake

Yeah, Irons in the new one seems like he was on the verge of snapping for quite a while and the outbreak's pushed him over. The Irons of the original RE2 had been a goddamn lunatic for quite some time.

Why did Irons kidnap Sherry when all he wants is the pendant? He could've just asked for it at gunpoint and left.

he has, uh

based on his dialog in the original RE2 and stuff in the REmake

proclivities

hes got the mayor's daughter's corpse on his desk and his journals refer to a "pig" of 22 years that needs stuffing
Hes a loving creeplord supreme

Is it actually spelled out why Irons wants the pendant in the remake?

actually thats a good point

the pendant isnt the Mr X bait in the remake

in any case its deeply unsettling to play the Sherry section and have this undeniable psychopath muttering "where are you you little bitch" on the other side of a shelf

my one complaint about the remake is that it was so true to the source material that Claire doesnt get to stick her grenade launcher down Irons' throat and fire off acid rounds until it goes loving click
