Mr X was a huge mistake in the A games.

The game went from spooky creeping terror like Alien to JUST SHOOT AND RUN like Aliens.

I miss the scary game. The stressful game sucks.

I don't think the game has my best interest in mind when there are zombies, lickers and Mr. X all in the same hallway.

The garage bit, you know the one, can loving eat my rear end top to bottom.

One thing about Mr. X I find disappointing: He never busts through walls to get you. That was my absolute favorite part of the original.

He did this to me twice. I think it's all in how you lead him.

poo poo, should I have the Shotgun by the time I fight G Tyrant ? I found the card in the demo and got it, but couldn't find it in the final game. Sucks I didn't realize it was gonna lock me in and all I have is a pistol and I keep running out of ammo before he dies. And as far as I can tell the game does not spawn emergency ammo during boss fights.

You very much should.

Yep, 2nd and 3rd bestselling Capcom games ever.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

However, in Hollywood accounting, they were duds. Like how Batman vs. Superman made a billion dollars but was a flop because the production budget and ads and everything else were massive, and they were expecting a much larger return on investment.

Yeah, people with minor bite wounds die of it and come back, but people who just die of normal stuff that don't have the virus don't come back.

It's definitely a "bite = die = zombie" type of zombie outbreak, and there are people that are immune naturally (Leon, Chris, Claire, Barry).

Then you have whatever Wesker's deal is which changes from game to game.

In Code Veronica the virus revives all recently dead not just bitten by zombies

To clarify: corpses don't reanimate without the virus present. But anything not immune that gets the virus will die from it then zombify.

So if something is dead and stays that way, no virus. If something gets the virus and lives it's immune.

So Leon can straight guzzle the T-virus and will never turn. But when he dies of whatever else and his immune system switches off due to being dead, it's zombie Leon time.

This has probably been asked before but I'm trying to avoid the spoiler minefield. Mid-game Leon A spoilers: I'm in the parking garage and I forgot to go to the special weapons case outside of the Birkin boss fight room. Can I get back there later? I can't go back through Birkin's room because he's a dick and collapsed the catwalk. When I remembered I had never opened the case I was back in the PD, but I couldn't reopen the statue passage.

You can backtrack to anything until a point in the game where you're literally told you can't backtrack any more.

I have a few questions before I pick this up next paycheck:

1) Does it kinda fall apart once you reach the sewers like the OG RE2 or did they make the last two section actually good?

2) How Leonesque is Leon in this one? Are we dealing with B-action movie hero Leon or "Please don't shoot I'm a human!" Leon?

3) Is the city section longer? Any new areas?

Sewers are longer.

Don't shoot. Please.

Much, much, much shorter.

The alligator and the main hall were the two main things I remembered about RE2 before I replayed it after 15 years last month.

I forgot all about Birkin and the lab and all that stuff, even though I wore out the disc playing it so much in the 90s. But, man, that gator was crispy fresh in my mind.

Fun fact with the flamethrower: a gentle puff of flame, using only 2 fuel units, will ignite them and knock them down.

It should only take 10 units total to crisp them.

Final Birkin takes about 100.

drat so you can clear all of labs with just the flamethrower? That's good to know

Endgame Leon A spoilers:

With the exception of the lickers you could wipe out every inch of the labs with just one flame tank, yes. And they give you two.

So really your optimum loadout for everything past the cable car is a flamethrower, spare tank, 3 grenades, and 10-12 magnum rounds for Mr. X
