Thinking of doing a Bolt Thrower only run but it might up be too easy, any ideas for fun runs?
--- 634312373
I'm done for now, but I ran through it about 6 times. Go to guns were:

>Silver Ghost
>Riot Shotgun
>Stingray

I still play from time to time on Mercenaries to let off some steam. I'll definitely be back for Separate Ways and when we get more mods.
--- 634312437
I just did a playthrough with the standard arsenal of SG, bolt-action rifle, pump-action shotgun and broken butterfly. Not my usual favorites but they're all pretty good fully upgraded.
--- 634312445
for me it's the red9

Just started it yesterday. Going reaaaal slow, walking everywhere, looking at everything, in all the corners, god the detail and environments are incredible! The way leon moves, puts his knife away and pulls his gun, all the little movements as he moves around objects- fucking amazing. I put the hud away for a while and I’ve never played a game that felt as close to being there. I love the slow journey you can do in an RE playthrough, really just taking it all in. I got the hang of combat pretty quickly, it might be too easy for me on normal, but I’ve played a lot of re and so I’ll be keen to start again. Hope I can get my hands on an unbreakable knife after the endgame, love the parrying and knife attacks, almost as op as the original. The dialogue is great too, waaay less stilled than the original, which was pretty corny and silly. Haven’t meet ashley and her short yet, or ada, so we’ll see how I feel about them soon enough. 
First impressions wise, however, all the 10/10s makes sense and are legit.
--- 634313646
>>634313305
Striker is bad in the remake you have to be inches from enemies they nerfed the range big time
--- 634313648
>>634313414
save everything right before last boss and buy the rocket launcher and you can probably do it
--- 634313683

handcannon is literally just an inferior BB when both are fully-upgraded
only advantage the HC has is infinite ammo but if you have cat ears it's no contest

--- 634313908
>>634313128
Yes, it's inaccurate and slow as fuck, it's only good for exclusive upgrade when you don't have cat ears, but even then if you want an infinite weapon you can just get Typewriter.
--- 634313931

>What run are you at?
I've lost count. Probably done like 12 or 13 runs at this point? I'm very tempted to do another Standard S+ run to get it close to the 2:45 mark, to make my results screen more consistent.

They switch to 30 fps because grenade explosion radius is tied to framerate thanks to jap coding
--- 634314558
>>634314270
I think it increases the blast radius of the grenade, or something like that.

Similarly, they spam pause in the forced Leon-carrying-Ashley segment (if they haven't done duffel bag) to skip Leon leaning on the wall with the map & falling on his knees near the door.

A guy who made a Youtube video that literally just shows raw RE4 footage next to RE4R footage without any kind of subjective commentary, and it clearly highlights how RE4R is lacking in thoughtful art direction and sound design compared to RE4. It also shows how the slightly more risque and cheesy moments of RE4 were replaced by more politically correct, sanitized, and "realistic" counterparts in RE4R. This is causing people who love RE4R to lose their goddamn minds.

Played 8 times. By the 8th playthrough I mostly lost interest in the game. Good time but I doubt I'll play it again. Not like I'll play the original either because I've played that into the ground on 3 different platforms. Only thing that could make me play again is if they add more maps to mercenaires. Should at least be 10 like in 6. If it's just 4 then it's dead Jim.

I can see getting killed at Mike or Minecart but I don't get why everyone says to save at Del Lago when that boss is piss easy and Wrecking Ball when two grenades make that fight trivial.
--- 634322829
>>634321876
>>634322008
There are 2 types of skips.
Intended and unintended.
There are a bunch of intended skips you can do with game knowledge which Capcom deliberately put in the game.
https://youtu.be/buVHseKn35U?t=146 [Embed]
This video shows a few of them.
Then there are the speedtroons skips. Some simple ones like gate glitch. And some more complex ones like out of bound skips. Those are unintended.
--- 634322838
>>634322345
del lago is straightforward but imo it can easily go to shit if you miss shots and go into the later cycles where dodging him becomes a real bitch. but I can understand excluding him.
frankly even without grenades wrecking ball is a joke with bonus weapons so I guess you could spare that save for something else like mike.
--- 634324261
>>634321567
>saving saving before water room
Why? It's easy in this version of the game. You should be able to go from Mendez to Double Garradors on a single save pretty reliably in an S+ run -- past that, even, if you know how to game the Double Garrador encounter with the bell and a flashbang
--- 634324389
>>634324261
for the most part it's easy but the crossbow fags at the top can fuck you over
--- 634324954
>>634324261
The only reason the water room is easier in the remake is because the enemies aren't out for Ashley's blood like they are in the original
--- 634325080
>>634324954
there's less enemy spam than in the original too. OG RE4 wasn't very generous in terms of staggering enemy waves in the first part of the encounter
--- 634325370
>>634325080
Yeah but it's not like RE4's enemies are very difficult to deal with, the only time I die in the water room on pro it's because Ashley got fucked up

A lot of the glitches are possible on consoles too, just need a different setup. You can do wreckingball skip, mendez skip, skip doors right after mike dies. thats all i know off the top of my head but since you can do wrecking ball skip you should be able to do the other door clips too

They unintentionally gimped the fuck out of it this time around, by only limiting the laser sight to two guns in invalidates the best reason to use the red nine, which is the stock that gives it pinpoint accuracy. You’re better off going blacktail with a higher general dps and less case space or the original handgun with the laser sight and exclusive upgrade for the critty

>>634331651
No

>>634331612
No
--- 634331958
the one thing the remake could have done content wise to outright surpass the original in some way is having the realization that on rails shooting galleries lost their novelty since re4 broke into the scene. the real hook of the horror shooter is stuff like the garrador rooms, creative monster encounters. they did do some with that, adding the bullman, improving the re generator section, but then they cut U3, removed the horror element from mendez's fight, and mostly just traded with the original otherwise. I think the new novistadors were meant to be turned into a new horror element but their execution was terrible and flying bugs aren't particularly intimidating. 
tldr, too conservative with the one hook they might have had over the original.
--- 634331970
>>634329664
>don't sleep on the tmp

I didn't, I tried it in two separate playthroughs and it's mediocre at everything but dumping damage into bosses when maxed out, something other weapons are better at. 

>if you keep learning the game where s+ isn't too bad, you really never need a pistol for anything other than utility, so a tmp is a nice retard spray gun that fits the same role

That's what I meant by WR speedruns where you absolutely must stagger something to run through safely. Otherwise pistol + parry + melee is enough for crowd control with a shotgun/rifle for shielded enemies/damage sponges
--- 634331975
>>634331335
U3 was that in the original. He was pointless filler. He'll probably be in Separate Ways though.

He regenerates health to set levels when he does the charging attack with his mouth open. I don't know the exact HP numbers or how much damage the harpoons do, but say he starts with 1000 HP for example. It pops back up to 800 when he does the first charge no matter if he has 799 or 1 HP remaining. Same deal with the second charge, he regens back to 400 no matter what. I'm not sure how many times he can do that. I've only had him do 3 charges before finally dying.
--- 634333134
>>634312108 (OP)
I did NG++ and I can't stand this cinematic turd anymore. The initial impression which was really good at first is worn out by now. The game is just too sluggish, stupid and dumbed down.
--- 634333382
>>634331975
I'm the guy at the regenerators, there's a file that mentions U3 in the castle, is he cut from the final game?
--- 634333459
>>634333382
he's most likely going to be in seperate ways
--- 634333515
>>634333382
He's not in the main game. Vegas odds say you'll probably fight him in Separate Ways. There's also the other Verdugo that's unaccounted for as well. Also Also, I'd bet Krauser is still alive too.

Doesn't he merge with Salazar? I mean it's not shown explicitly, but it's implied, no?
--- 634334049
>>634333515
Pretty sure the other Verdugo is U-3. The files say the Novistadors are U-2, Salazar's housekeeper and right hand is U-3 and the scientist who made them became U-1. I think he's the Verdugo you fight down in his lab area.
--- 634334063
>>634331785
Yeah I watched it. Dist got completely fucked in the Regenerator wrench room. Spicee ran away with the whole thing. Orch started looking up computer parts the moment the tourney was over, kek.
--- 634334142
So I finally watched the crowbcat video and everything just clicked for me. I had a great time with RE4make, but somethings just felt off or missing. Aside from the obvious cut content, there's just less SOVL.

That said I think once all the DLCs come out it might end up being better than the original for me. For now though I'm done with the game after two playthroughs.

It's just too full of modern day shit. Enemy I frames where you have to see their "full" transformation", bullet spread, slow aiming.
--- 634334573

This one drove me crazy. Even with a zoomed in and focused reticle, there's a chance the bullet spread will go sideways for no fucking reason. I think even speedrunners said this was dumb.

Blacktail is superior. Only does a tiny bit less damage fully upgraded, shoots extremely fast, takes up 1/3 of the space and reloads faster. Red9 is a shadow of it's former self. Still my favorite gun but it needed a nerf (just like the TMP)

Just beat Krauser 2 in my first run. My first attempt my knife broke really early, my body armor too, and I barely had any healing heading into the final showdown. I reloaded from my typewriter save and the second time went much better.

judging by the bullshit numbers, blacktail does indeed have higher dps. and even without numbers, I don't think anyone can argue against it, since with red9 you have to wait for the bloom to close, while the blacktail is still plenty accurate at max bloom.

Here is just ONE example of this modern cinematic turd being dumbed down. The room where you get one of the heads and you have to fight the knights after taking the piece. In the original, Ashley is basically in the room with you adding to the difficulty of that fight. In the remake she goes to the second floor and throws jars of blue crap at the knights basically doing the fight for you. I can do loads more and so can many other people.
--- 634337392
>>634337173
In the original bear traps were basically forgotten for most of the village, in the remake they're a consistent threat. We could do this all day.

--- 634337657

Well, yes, you can't dumb down a game that came out first, that's pretty obvious. It's more that there are counter examples to the remake dumbing shit down. They could have just removed the bear traps.

Then you retards would still be saying the game is dumbed down lmao
--- 634337875

Mine cart ride, original has Ganado and Chainsaw maniac boarding you in real time. Remake has ganado on separate carts that you shoot once at and they explode. There is a Chainsaw maniac on a separate cart that looks at you for 6 full seconds, raises his chainsaw for 3 seconds, you shoot him ONCE anywhere on the body and he immediately is taken away from you. He comes back another 2 times and rinse and repeat. Another example of extreme dumbing DOWN.

you didn't have to take ashley with you in that room. also the remake provides you with one more wave in that room alone and adds more encounters to the library. not to mention the armaduras are way more interesting to fight in the remake.

I've been using the SG and found it really disappointing with the exclusive. Feels like I don't really get crits anymore than usual.
--- 634338835
>>634337896
Because they're much more frequent and getting caught in one in the middle of combat is basically a death sentence anyway
--- 634338846
>>634338716
You probably are getting crits but the HP pools of the Ganado scale up the later in the game you get so it sort of soft-neutralizes it out. My fully upgraded shotgun with the 2x power exclusive still takes 2-3 headshots to kill one ganado when it used to clear an entire crowd in one shot in the castle.
--- 634338953
>>634338207
the original minecart was a cute idea but in practice an absolute joke, since it was very easy to shoot down all the ganados before they could jump onto the cart. I wish they would have taken a shot at properly reworking it but the rollercoaster ride is a decent alternative
--- 634339096

--- 634339203
>>634338528
NTA but you can juke regenerators just as easily in this game. It doesn't actually matter if they're faster. You should've used the part where you have to protect Ashley with one up your ass or the sidequest with the iron maiden as better examples of actually increased difficulty.
--- 634339245
>>634338716
I don't think it's as good on the higher difficulty settings. The Blacktail is probably the best pistol overall.
--- 634339490
>>634338528
You didn't even need to worry about hitting the parasites in the original either. You could just magdump the Red 9 into Regenerators and kill them. I don't think that's possible at all in the remake. It took forever hosing one down on the floor with the infinite Sweeper before it finally died and I think I probably just hit the parasites by chance during that time.
--- 634339653
>>634339156

--- 634340189
>>634339490
In OG the regenerators slowly waddled at you and you could just toss grenades at them

In remake they literally sprint at you and can grab you from across the room and are a real threat now
--- 634340237
>>634339490
It takes ~5 handcannon shots to take one down

>>634339994
it still shouldn't be 3 shots. If anything I'd guess it's the garbage spread
--- 634340434
>>634339490
It's also much harder to hit the parasites inside them, you have to be dead on now. The original RE4 had very generous bullet magnetism in general, the remake much less so.
--- 634340809

I don't have anything else to do in the game sadly. I unlocked everything and mercenaries mode sucks balls.
--- 634340965
>>634338467
Even with Ashley outside of the room, she still doesn't help you like she does in the original. In the remake she basically does the fighting for you. Why are you trying to argue against this? Especially with embarrassing attempts such as that one? You don't care that you're making yourself dumber too? Youre dumbing yourself down.....no wonder the game is the way it is lol.
--- 634341067
>>634340809
I stopped halfway through my second playthrough. I just don't really care as much as I did with the original. Also might be because I've played the original at least 10 times since release, so it's mostly more of the same.

Every time I talk about the remake I mention the Regenerators and how much of an improvement they are, even if they have a Brazilian butt lift. In the original the Regenerators are primitive even without having to compare them. This just helps to make my point, the remake does some things really well but then craps on itself by dumbing down a ton of its already lacking content.
--- 634341095
>>634337173
That was an improvement though, giving ashley a bit of agency only made her character better and the original is still piss easy so your point is moot
--- 634341096
>>634340189
I love this room. I love that even if you're very careful about not breaking the glass some ganado will just run in and chuck a fucking stick of dynamite in here.
--- 634341228
>>634341095
To make a part of the game practically solve itself is an improvement to you? It isn't and you know it, its just sad that you have to lie this much. Its like your identity as a person is tied to defending modern cinematic turds or even good games that aren't cinematic turds.
--- 634341364
>>634341228
You don't have Ashley to throw shit in any of the rooms later on that have knights, so you're taking them down by yourself. That includes the bonus boss knight surrounded by two other knights. Why are you so insistent on being a retard that everyone laughs at?
--- 634341380

want a cheeky tip, get all the time bonuses and then go on a rampage, USE flashes for ez combos score Ie if you're at 1.4x use flash and just insta stab as many enemies as you can, it's great. 
If you're using louise you can shoot the dynamite once you set it down making for constant explosions, you're immune to them and another thing his special also acts like leons in terms his weapons get a buff too

Also if you're playing as leon remove the scope for easier kills during your rampage 

If you're not getting good drops you can drop weapons to force it into giving you the ammo you want

--- 634341578
>>634341432
I disagree. My original RE4 skills have carried over nicely and while the remake has its own quirks I didn't have any trouble adapting. I get the same dopamine hit from the core gameplay loop as I did the original, and the skill ceiling being much higher in the remake comes with its own rewards.
--- 634341597

Yea it's better but the new game is still amazing and does a better job at things like gunplay / balance, difficulty, story telling, knife, and a couple of bosses (notably krauser and saddler).
If OG is a 9.5 remake is a 9.0. They also play very differently so there's nothing wrong with playing both, unlike REmake which just plays identically to RE but with a couple added cut content moments.

>>634337536
Villagers in the bell village set up bear traps if you run around for enough time. Each one is basically on a timer where if they're alive long enough they'll set up a trap, to prevent people from just kiting all the villagers in a circle forever without firing a shot

It's for the bullet on the chamber.
--- 634346516
>>634346346
Reloading a mag on a gun that has a bullet in the chamber means there's the ammo in the magazine "+1" in the chamber. The game weirdly doesn't do this with shit like the TMP or Semi Auto Rifle that should also have that though.
--- 634346573
I'm ready to do Professional S+ but I think I'm just gonna take a break from the game instead. 
One day I should do the pistol/knife only run because I've only ever really used the Red9, then the Handcannon on the second run. I can also make that my 100% run. It would be a good way to play the game "legit" again instead of using meme guns.
--- 634346627
>>634346346

If you reload a gun before emptying the magazine, one bullet remains in the chamber. So he swaps out the magazine and inserts a full magazine +1 in the chamber. 

It would have been fun if the game kept track of incomplete magazines and/or made you refill them via your inventory (in like a challenge difficulty, not Standard) but I imagine that's a lot of work for a niche group.
--- 634346635
SG-09 or Blacktail?
--- 634346721
>>634346516
I don't think the Killer 7 does it either. Weird oversight considering they were paying enough attention to realize the Red 9 shouldn't get a +1 because of how it's loaded.

>>634346635
sg if you're penny pinching
--- 634346780
>>634346635

Generally, SG09/Sentinel Nine are more efficient. Crits are instant and make plaga far less likely to spawn, plus they're compatible with the laser sight, which increases stagger and gives a small damage boost.

>>634346627
>It would have been fun if the game kept track of incomplete magazines and/or made you refill them via your inventory
Outbreak did that. I always thought it'd be a neat mechanic for a slower paced single player game. It's ass for a fast paced multiplayer game or an action oriented one like 4 though.

The only game I played that had this was an indie zombie game (Unturned) made by a kid and a FN:NV mod. Surprised more games dont utilize it. It's really fun.
--- 634346957
>>634342318
>The point remains, in the original she basically does that part for you by throwing jars at them.

Your hyperbole really shows how dumb you are. The jars just freeze them in place and let you knock off their helmets, exposing the plagas. You still have to do everything else and I don't even think she'll throw down enough so you can freeze all of them once.
--- 634347198
In the Rope Birdge level is there an infinite spawn until you open the door and get the Emblem? Cause it felt like non stop Ganados and AHI VA ESO
--- 634347263
>>634346880
>>634346932

Yeah, like I said only in like a challenge mode or an option you can enable or something. Should absolutely not be a forced mechanic in a game like RE4, however it COULD add to the "satisfaction" of inventory management. You could also make it so you can only refill outside of combat. 

After each battle, going into your inventory to refill your magazines, knowing you only have X number of magazines to get through a combat situation, trying to maximize your use before you reload, etc. Could be very fun and kind of give operator vibes.
--- 634347437
>>634347198
from my experience it's limited, there's just a fucking lot of them. furthermore there's a bunch of area triggers causing some more to spawn (eg the cliffside path)
--- 634347471
>>634347198

No, they stop. There aren't any infinite spawns as far as I know, not even the double Garrador room. That said, the valley DOES have multiple triggers that spawn more Ganados. 

In the rope area, there is a house immediately to your left that houses a yellow herb that you can camp the fuck out of. Don't break the lock and they can only come in through a window, so it's easy pickings. Clear out what's after you, go to the next trigger, run back to the house, repeat.
--- 634347473
>>634344346
I pretty much agree with this and it's nice to see a reasonable opinion for once. I wouldn't say the new gameplay is better per se but it is a different experience from the original and it is fun, which is reason enough to play it. The original game coming out on top doesn't mean you can't still have a different fun experience with the new one
--- 634347474

It was one of the only actually scary and tense moments in the game though. It’s really stupid that they removed it and will probably gut it for the DLC

No. Once I killed all of them they stop respawning.
--- 634347693

>It was one of the only actually scary and tense moments in the game though.

On a first playthrough. After that, he's an incredibly tedious fight. RE4R is almost entirely tailor made to make replaying as pleasant as possible and removed or changed a lot of stuff that was a drag to replay in the OG, even as good as that was. 

U3 being in DLC so we can still experience it but it doesn't bog down the main campaign would be a perfect solution.

Seconding this, I see a lot of vague assertions but nothing concrete. Would really like to know how some things actually work.

This >>634349938. If you can manage your ammo in any given firefight, sure, but on Hardcore and Pro, it's generally not going to be enough for any single encounter. That said, with the Cat Ears, Matilda absolutely shreds.

You're not wrong that the people developing it had become sick of it (Shinji Mikami and Hideka Kamiya always wanted to make action games, the tech just wasn't there yet) but I feel like the death of survival horror came about not because the audience wasn't there anymore, but because Capcom made two really bad bets with the Dreamcast and Gamecube. They blamed the tanking franchise sales on a lack of interest in survival horror and not because they put them on consoles with low install bases. Even RE4 would have been considered a failure if it remained on the Gamecube

I think they would have done better if they would have just focused on making one solid game.

Instead we got Jill's Big Adventure, Claire Redfield and the Island of Incest, Becca and Billy's Cancelled Journey, and a lightgun game without lightgun support.

i had to go giga aggressive in my S+ run. i used up my rifle ammo killing 12 or so of the villagers, used my shotgun to kill 3 or 4 more, scrounged up like 4 rifle shots for the bull guy as he spawned. to get through the cabin on higher difficulties, it demands a really aggressive approach. i dont even board the windows up anymore; i might get one if the bottom floor is swarmed but its a good open area to shoot out the windows from.
--- 634352581
>>634351758
The trick to the cabin is that you GOTTA be aggressive or you'll get overwhelmed. Board up the window by the stairs and then immediately begin opening fire on the Ganados through the windows. Do not let them inside. Snipe them with your bolt action, knock them on their ass with your shotgun if they try to climb in, throw grenades at the mobs. Do not use your flashes unless you get completely overwhelmed, and make sure you save some durability in your combat knife. 

Once you kill about a dozen ganados, let one inside, immediately kill him, he should drop boards. Kill a few more, then let one in, kill him and board up the last window. This will start the next phase. Just kill and survive until the bull is prepped and comes inside. Immediately jump downstairs and flash him, then stab him in the neck with your knife. Let him get back up, then flash + stab him again. This should be enough to kill him, and killing the bull ends the fight immediately.

This works out better more often than not.

Rocket on Verdugo and Saddler, one Golden egg for Salazar, bought a Killer 7 just for the second Krauser phase. The hardest part of the game was the gorge before Bella Sisters, took me forever to get through that part without killing anyone and Ashley getting caught. Second hardest would be the TNT room because my save was before Verdugo and I would have to rocket him and collect all the stuff in the rooms every time I died in that TNT room, I would get there and inevitable forget about the dynamite throwers and get instagibbed.

Not even that. After you max out your exclusives (and really before that, since PTAS are far more plentiful than Spinel) and get all of the "unique to the Trade option" items, the best use for Spinel is trading x3 for 1 Gold Token. You can get several dozen, then go through your rolls to find any charms you're missing. 

It's still a tedious system since there's no proper RNG so you may just get unlucky and get multiple seeds without the charm you want in a reachable place, but you can -- if you're inclined -- make multiple NG+ saves off of a single game completion, then check the table on each one. I never did that, but it is an option. 

>>634354086

Fully agree. I've liked every entry since RE7 more than the last (ignoring RE3R.) Capcom is on an absolute winning streak.
--- 634354464
>>634354251

I'm not convinced. It's a pretty big plot thread to just outright drop, especially considering both the main game and the DLC end on the same scene of her literally in Chris's charge.

the rose stuff takes place 16 years in the future. If they go with Rose they'll have to age the main characters of the series too much. Chances are RE9 will either be a new character or an older one that didn't get as much attention. Zoe Baker would be a better choice IMO.

Maybe, though there's nothing saying the next entry has to be chronologically next. It may not be RE9, you're right, maybe RE9 will feature Zoe or Chris dealing with the BSAA issue, but eventually the main characters are going to age out anyway. 

Once the Connections or whatever and the BSAA are handled, though, I think a game featuring Rose would make a lot of sense.

Mp5 has penetration and can mount scopes, like the dlc shotgun it's a sidegrade. The Stingray is way more forgiving of missed shots than the springfield is. The m4 is your boss deleterious if you can't afford a rocket launcher, stagger the boss, get up close, unload on their weakpoint.

>>634355509
TMP is the best gun in the original game. Without stock it has the fastest draw speed and a full mag gives you 250 iframe stuns. 

RE4make TMP is still a good gun, it's just not top tier. Original RE4 had a very specific meta (Silver Ghost, Striker, TMP, Semi-Auto) and there was no reason to ever use anything else, RE4make is a bit more varied, some guns are still better than others but you're not gimping yourself if you aren't using the best weapons

Yeah, I honestly like the weapon balance in RE4R a lot more. Pistols are pretty definitively for SG/SN, but most other categories have a lot more room for discussion.

>>634355509
The upgraded TMP with stock in the original has the ability to instantly stun any basic enemy in the game, allowing you to knock them down and knife them to death. Since upgraded magazine has an impossible 250 rounds, that's 250 dead ganados or novistadors or colmillos per reload, which makes it incredibly easy to bank additional ammunition in your attache case.
Alternatively, it also presents the option to brute force any heavy enemy/boss by simply unloading the whole magazine at it.

Remake TMP massively mitigates the blatantly overpowered nature of the original by dunking on its stagger ability, damage potential, and magazine size, which makes it much more situational, though it's still very resource-efficient at killing bug-type enemies like novistadors and popped plagas and can typically melt minibosses like Dr Salvadors with a magdump.

The correct term is machine pistol, and God damn do I hate the NFA, because those would be the ideal self defense/home defense weapons. I really want to conceal carry a Beretta 93r is what I'm saying, also for Beretta to make the 93r again.

The autist in me always thought Leon should have started with a normal Beretta 92 in RE2 and later used a parts kit to convert it to a 93. Yeah it's a bit of a stretch but more believable than carrying an exceedingly rare machine pistol and finding an even rarer stock for it.

--- 634357768
>>634357205
I believe the reason stated for Leon having a vp70 is that it's his personal firearm that he purchased himself. Some departments will let you carry your own gun if it meets department requirements(has to be in x caliber, magazine size of at least x rounds, and so on)and you qualify with it. Also it might have been easier to render the vp70 and it's stock in early 3d graphics, same reason Kojimbles had Snake use a MK23 in the first Metal Ger Solid.

I think the unspoken thing is that the ots monstermash formula capcom established with 2make is just an extremely rock solid base gameplay system, it meshes well enough with horror while allowing for the japanese souls like spectacle capcom's talent is capable of cranking out.

If you plan to replay the game more than a few times, don't bother. It's twelve Gold Tokens per playthrough, which sounds like a lot on your first but by your third or so, you can start spending Spinel on Gold Tokens rather than other stuff. I just finished Playthrough 5, which included a few speedruns where I didn't do every request, and I was able to just pick up like 50 gold tokens from the Merchant before moving on to my next. 

S ranks are the only thing you need for the Challenges I think. Skulls are absolutely not worth worrying about.
--- 634359834
>>634359585

I don't think the plagas jiggle with them, just their exterior. At least I don't remember them moving that way. The jiggly bits are what you can blow away to expose the plagas if you're not using the sensor scope. 

One thing I never got though was the Iron Maiden weak points. I swear I dumped multiple Rifle rounds into it and it didn't go down. Does it have actual HP rather than being a one hit kill?
--- 634359854
What's the hardest part of the game?

To me is double garrador room, and the small area right after you destroy the AA gun. The one with a stationary gun on each side. This place killed me a lot on higher difficulties

That whole section is the toughest in the entire game. Camo novistador spam to remove all your ammo, double garrador fight with 6 waves of endless cultists, immediately into invisible novis. THEN you get a typewriter

Water room with low ammo isn't too bad if you get to the second part (crank section) with lots of ammo still. If you end up low it is pretty much torture.
--- 634360505
>>634359949

Aren't they visible in the mouth, even without a scope? You'd also think penetrating weapons would ignore the jello. 

>>634359854

Village, Cabin, Double Garrador. They're the only parts that are still a bit "that part" to me, but the former two definitely get more manageable as you play more. Double Garrador can be handled very efficiently if you're not doing a Pistol challenge or something similar with some planning and flash grenades. 

Village on NG Pro is literally stupid. It's like 60% luck since you're so underequipped for what you're up against. Safest thing is to run around and hope for the best or hope you can kill enough dudes with the two guaranteed grenades to end it ASAP. 

The Cabin also has a fair amount of luck involved but at least you can try to funnel enemies somewhat.

Cabin>Gorge/Bella Sisters>Mendez exhausted me on my first run. The game makes you feel absolutely panicked about ammo until you learn its trick.

--- 634360847
>>634359854
>Double Garrador room is still the worst part. 
nah it isn't. waterhall and cabin are much more of a pain in the ass. in the double room every bullet is a get out of jail free card, just need to be careful keeping the two garradors on the same side of the room so you don't get cornered.

>>634360505
For the garradors it seems to take a few gunshots before they wake up. I lure the first couple cultists down to the door and try to one shot them with a rifle or shotgun. For the garradors I hit the bell and spam them with heavy grenades until they stop moving, then mop up any survivors. I think they stop spawning once the garradors die. It's probably not the most efficient strategy but it works for me on HC and Pro.
--- 634361052
>>634360776
the trick with mendez is to have a fully upgraded shotgun and just burn a flash at the start of his second form. you can put 8 rounds into him before he can recover and at that point he's a couple shots from dead.

Water room really isn't bad. Rush to the left and jump down, get to the center where the Halo Wheel is then let the enemies funnel to you and take them down in a nice, orderly fashion. Once they're dealt with, grab the wheel and go back up top, let the enemies funnel to you on the stairs and take out the crossbow dudes when you have a sec. 

The part with Ashley cranking is honestly a cakewalk compared to the original.

That anon here; the Garrador room does indeed stop spawning adds when they die. The best way to deal with the Garradors themselves is to go to the left, shoot the bell across the way, pop both of their plagas so they're exposed, then toss a Flash or two which will usually kill the plagas outright. 

That's what I meant by you can do it efficiently if you're not on a challenge run. There's a really quick, simple way to do set it up so it only takes a minute.

For double garradors, I just buy the heavy grenade recipe and craft 4 of them. Usually I'm lucky enough to find a few regularly before then. Then in the room, I kill the 3 ganados with the rifle, wait for the ganados to release themselves and then shoot the bell on the right side. They'll both run to it and get stuck there and the 4 heavy grenades will kill them immediately. Easiest way I found to get past that room.

The sidequests can literally be done as you move through the game without any side tracking other than the "Serious Threat" quests, which usually require a bit of backtracking. You don't have to pick up the blue fliers to do them, you can just do the things associated with them as you run into them.

They're gonna add U3 on separate ways.
But we both know you don't even care, you probably didn't even play or cared about RE4 before, you clout chasing NPC.

Managed to go from the clock tower to the end on Professional S+ for the headcannon run.
God Damn.

I feel like grenades are a double edged sword, they're obviously a part of that resource expenditure feedback loop you've seen since the beat em up days but at the same time having access to multiple get out of jail free cards, the ability to render any miniboss like the bullman or chainsawman open for a free knifestab, seems like it might overpower a lot of potential scenarios.

Assuming this happens, it's such a massive improvement over the original. The sequence is a pain on the ass on replays but is super tense on your first playthrough. Putting it in as a separate campaign DLC would still let you experience the fight but not bog down replays with a super scripted sequence. It's literally the best possible outcome.

That's the point though. Those resources exist so you can use them in scenarios where they can efficiently take care of threats for you. If you use one on a miniboss, you may be short when three plagas pop out. 

Late game it's less of an issue when you're swimming in Large Resources, but early game that's really what they're for.

Was at 3 hours and 22 mins on the clock tower part, 4 hours and 4 after Saddler kidnaps Ashley again.
Finished before the 5 hours.

The game is almost 2x the length of RE4.

A. they can improve the fight to cut down on stilted dead air and allow for player optimization
B. a very brief period of theatricality in the penultimate area of the game shouldn't be seen as ruining repeat playthroughs.

U3 is horribly placed in the original. It's a giant space flea from nowhere that cuts into the rising action leading to the climactic battles with Krauser and Saddler. It's a fight i dread every time I play re4 lmao
