Matt Cruea posted:Why do we want AI to be invincible? I honestly don't remember Sheva ever dying when she was AI. I don't know about the easier difficulties but on Professional enemies would straight up ignore AI Sheva (unless you're in one of sections where you have to defend her while she opens a door or something). I distinctly remember testing this out by barricading her outside of the house in the village and laughing when they didn't attack her at all. Makes sense though, since Pro was bullshit enough without punishing you for the AI loving up. Josh on the other hand... gently caress me did the enemies have it out for him. You couldn't heal him, so if anything hit him he died instantly and it was game over. Other than the equally bullshit Gigante fight, that's where I died the most on Pro.

The Stamina Bar probably severely limits the feasibility of melee-only gameplay. Kick too many zombies in the head too quickly and bam, you're helpless. Especially since it's weird and finicky; sprinting doesn't reduce my stamina, but kicking a crate open does?

I've only played Leon's campaign so far, but from what I've seen it's definitely harder than RE4 and RE5. I played through on Veteran and generally just got my rear end handed to me. Grabs do a poo poo-ton damage and you're constantly going to get beat down by the bosses. I did. A lot. Couple that with zombies just generally being tankier and you have a definite recipe for the danger zone. I spent the entire game pretty much running around with one bar of health. It just seemed more economical to have Helena revive me every time a zombie hit me and only use one herb rather than heal to full health and waste six of them (since I was going to get hit anyway). The only problem is that some enemies (especially the Crimson Head things) liked to kill me the second the invincibility frames from the adrenaline shot wore off, before I could heal.

Agent Hunt needs some kind of incentive, like skill points. Right now you get nothing out of it, save for the satisfaction of making them use a continue I guess. If I really wanted to troll players I'd just join as their partner and then intentionally fail QTEs. Spermando posted:Is there a way to kill Leon's final bosses that doesn't take ages? Not really. Most bosses in the game are wars of attrition, even when you do hit their weakpoints.

charismaslover posted:Anyone have any tips for how to rack up points in mercenaries? I want to rack up skill points for infinite ammo but I'm absolutely terrible Here's how to succeed in Mercs: - Find all the time bonuses at the starts of the round. - Melee mooks. - Keep the combo going at any cost. - Remember that using a healing item refills your stamina. That's all. Killing an enemy with melee gives you an extra time bonus (5 seconds for melee, 7 seconds for a coup-de-grace, 10 seconds for a counter). If you get a good rhythm going, you'll pretty much double your time. Watch videos on youtube to see the optimal path to follow at the start of the round to get the time bonuses. Make sure to grab any healing items on the way, so that you can quickly restore your stamina if you need to.

I just want to reiterate what others have said: if you're playing Chris' campaign by yourself, then you should play as Piers. Not only is it a stronger narrative, since you develop Chris from a third person perspective with a player surrogate, but you also get to see some awesome set-pieces that you miss when you're controlling Chris. For example, at one point you chase someone who slams a locked door in your face. Playing as Chris, you just walk up to the door and open it. Playing as Piers, you see Chris go nuts and bash the lock to pieces with the butt of his gun. Like others have said, being the best pal of haunted, alcoholic veteran Chris is the far superior story.

Billy's dead. From a file on Rebecca's desk in the N64 version of Resident Evil 2: quote:#File 09/16 Yes, Billy "Koen". To Capcom, he's dead. But in-universe he's out there living the American dream.

Really, the ideal strategy in Mercs is to counter enemies' attacks, so weapon load outs aren't really important. One character is as good as another as long as a player knows how to handle the bosses and can counter reliably.

Hell Diver posted:Got to the last co-op segment with Leon as Ada and had to watch the other guy fail to climb the cable for a few minutes before I sent him a mercy message that he needed to hold both buttons down. I recently played this segment as Leon with someone else playing as Helena. I've gotten the technique down so it's not a problem anymore but the guy I was playing with was falling off literally every other second. Every time Helena falls, a little cutscene plays of Leon catching her and letting her climb back up. I could manage maybe a half meter ascent before he would fall again. It took so long.

The best skills are: Breakout Item Drop Increase Stamina Bar Increase Field Medic (if you play by yourself) Everything is just fluff, but these four are invaluable. Lone Wolf is supposed to help you get the "kill an enemy while dying and then stand up without help" trophy.

Jake and Sherry have the best dynamic in the game and they own. Their campaign does have the most uh... new gameplay mechanics? I guess? Capcom kinda threw a little bit of everything into it. I think it was great though. Play as Jake and melee everything.

Azran posted:Shame it's random, though. Nope, you can engineer whatever combo you like. Activate the Haos simulation cutscene and then activate the elevators' power. The AI partners will go stand in front of their respective levers. All you need to do is walk in front of one of the AI and pull the lever and you'll guaranteed to share the elevator with whoever is standing next to them. For example: You're Chris. You turn on the elevators power. Jake and Sherry run to one side, Piers will sort of stay where he is since he always chooses last. If you wanted to share the elevator with Sherry, you just need to run to where Jake is and pull his lever. Sherry will automatically ready up and Jake will run to the other side of the room with Piers.

Of the top of my head, these are bosses and how many times you fight them. Leon: Booby-Monster: Fought twice (though to be fair, it's not the same one) Giant Fish: Fought three times (once in QTE, once on the shore as Helena, once in the clutch moment during the slip and slide) Ustanak: Fought once Simmons: Fought six times (Beast on Train, T-Rex, Beast on Roof, Zombie Chow, Fly, Injured Fly) Chris: Giant BOWs: Fought three times (twice in Estonia, once on the freighter in Harrier) Helicopter: Fought twice (once on the roof, once on the docks) Snake: Fought twice (once normally, once with the high voltage) Haos: Fought twice (once normally, once with Pikapiers) Jake: Ustanak: Fought six times (in Estonia, on the plane, in the mines, in the streets, in the lava dungeon, on the cargo elevator) Giant BOWs: Fought twice (you take on two of them) Helicopter: Fought twice Ubstivo: Fought three times (in the streets, on the docks, on the barge) Ada: Ubstivo: Fought three times (on the train tracks, snipe on the docks, snipe on the barge) Carla: Fought once remarkably Helicopter: Fought once Simmons: Fought twice (T Rex, Beast on Roof)
