Resident Evil 5

[Marshy]

I couldnt find a thread on here about this game so I figure that I should probably make one since the demo is so bad ass. You think 4 was good? Oh man....


In case you guys missed the whole Japanese demo glitch through Xbox Live, I will toss a bone to you bitches.

You can play the demo now...

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fdf4f1773666296791b20cc0d07ba4d2e66f2dcb be596359

- download the five rar parts
- extraxt them with free program called Winrar
- this will get you one (1!) folder named "content"
- burn this folder to a cd, burn it as a data CD with Nero works fine.
- insert cd into 360, it will show up as "mixed media"
- navigate to "my xbox", "demos"
- click & play!



AND FOR ALL YOU PS3 CUNTS, NO DEMO FOR YOU.

[ShitBreak]

Demo? Where did you get it? I didn't notice it on the PSN on Thursday.

[Marshy]

its not available in north america yet. the japanese demo came out (even though its in complete english) this week.

[ShitBreak]

oh well that's gay.

[Marshy]

nah its actually pretty all right with me. Just another reason why Xbox is better than any Sony crap on the market.


why dont you go watch a blu-ray movie and wait for the PSN demo to come out?

[Le Goat]

dl/ing it now

[Marshy]

you can play single player, online coop, and offline coop on the demo. its only 2 levels but its fucking way harder than 4 was. ammo is really scarce and the "bigger" guys like the sack over the head enemies are nothing to fuck around with.

Have they fixed the controls yet? I HATE RE controls.

[Marshy]

no, i would say the worst part about the demo are the controls. a bit hard to get used to but worth it in the end.

[The Batman]

no, i would say the worst part about the demo are the controls. a bit hard to get used to but worth it in the end.

I heard the developer say that they were toying with control options so people can walk and shoot at the same time, so hopefully when this game comes out they do that, because honestly the only reason i never played RE4 and maybe RE5 are those stupid controls.

[Le Goat]

i hate burners that hang at 99% for a long time!

[Le Goat]

got it bitches!

[Ocelot]

How is the demo? Does it really just feel like RE4 with HD graphics?

[Le Goat]

Never played 4 so I can't compare. Its not too bad. I think it'll be a big seller for the name and good RE Cut-Scenes. The controls still feel clunky, even compared to the old REs. To be honest, this game would rape with the Wii. You'll see why when u play it.

[Marshy]

yeah the controls are clunky but the graphics are amazing. i wish they gave you more ammo.

[ShitBreak]

yeah the controls are clunky but the graphics are amazing. i wish they gave you more ammo.

Are the controls as bad as they were in RE4? The controls on that game seriously made the game damn near unplayable for me.

[Marshy]

they are kind of close. you have to pull a trigger to pull out your gun or knife and then use that weapon by pressing a button. reloading is RT+A I think.

[ShitBreak]

Guh.

Is there anyway they change the controls at all before the game is released?

[Gary_Busey]

The controls in RE4 weren't that bad.

[Le Goat]

Yes you can change controls, but the fucking other options are idiotic.


My main complaint outside of the controls is how the zombies seem to fly back about 20ft or do a flip

[Ocelot]

The controls in RE4 weren't that bad.

True. For the time I thought they were great. I think it's because I've been spoiled by games like Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, etc. that now, at least by watching someone play the controls seem so dated. I'm sure it's still fun to play.

[The Batman]

The controls in RE4 weren't that bad.

Yes they were. The idea of stopping to shoot is dumb. Having all these zombies attacking and not being able to walk backward and fire is stupid. They should do something like GTA or any other action game that isn't RE.

[The Batman]

Guh.

Is there anyway they change the controls at all before the game is released?

read above at my post.

[Marshy]

i dont like how a shot to the head doesnt take them down. they just grab their head and keep walking towards you.

[Le Goat]

never happens for me. usually their head pops off and those legs come outt

[Snatch]

Link is dead.

Anyone got another?

[Ocelot]

True. For the time I thought they were great. I think it's because I've been spoiled by games like Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, etc. that now, at least by watching someone play the controls seem so dated. I'm sure it's still fun to play.

Actually wtf am I talking about here, Dead Rising uses the RE4 engine, which was also stop to shoot. Maybe it was the feeling of having so many zombies after me. I dunno.

I think my expectations were extremely high for RE5, and though it looks great it isn't what I jad envisioned. Hoping it'll prove me wrong.

Dead Rising was NOT stop-to-shoo. You could still blast teh shot gun while running and what not. The melee shit was hand held but did a great job of giving you a motion animation to make you feel like you were still moving.. IE taking a step forward as you swung the sledgehammer around or sickle.

[Snatch]

Wasted 4 DVDs trying to get this to work. Says "Can't Launch." I'm going to fucking call Sarah Jessica Parker to get this shit to work.

[Marshy]

dont use a dvd. just use a cd-r. the xbox 360 is made to block dvd-r/rw formats due to illegal game copying.

[Le Goat]

I used DVD-r just fine

[Gary_Busey]

Try burning it at a low write speed, like 4x.

[Le Goat]

Mine burned at 8x on a DVD-R...


Prob an EU error

[Gary_Busey]

Just because yours did doesn't mean his will.

Looks like their might be a little more to Resident Evil 5 (http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3142138) than meets the eye. Specifically, offline multiplayer featuring up to 16 players. While having a close look at the Xbox 360 Resident Evil 5 boxart, the eagle-eyed folks over at D-Pad (http://www.dpadmagazine.com/2009/01/21/resident-evil-5-to-include-16-player-offline-multiplayer/) (via Videogaming247 (http://www.videogaming247.com/2009/01/21/capcom-says-resident-evil-5-box-art-isnt-lying/)) noticed the phrase "system link 2-16." When contacted by Videogaming247 for comment, all Capcom would say was, "I can confirmed that our box art isn't lying. That's all though."
So if you're willing to lug a whole lot of Xbox 360's over to a friend's house, it looks like Resident Evil 5 has serious offline multiplayer potential. As to what exactly the multiplayer modes could entail, we'll leave the speculation up to you.

[Draven X 23]

Well I have played the Demo and wow am I disappointed. Controls are awkward.

[Rumpleforeskin]

It doesn't play like RE4?

[Weenis]

The graphics are really amazing, they're honestly some of the best I've ever seen. The gameplay is pretty much classic RE. If you like that, you'll like this game.

I would have preferred if they updated the gameplay. This is a game that looks this gen, but plays previous gen.

[ShitBreak]

If by "gameplay is classic RE" you really mean "nothing like classic RE" then you are right on the money.

[Rumpleforeskin]

Where's Goat? I'd actually like to hear his impression.

[Weenis]

If by "gameplay is classic RE" you really mean "nothing like classic RE" then you are right on the money.

Well RE4 then. Either way, the important point is that the gameplay sucks.

[the creeps]

i hate the RE4 controls but with how good this game looks, i think i will over look it.

[Change]

Controls are ass!
I don't see me forking out 100 AUD$ For a pretty game that plays like turds.
Maybe i'll pick it up off ebay.

[the creeps]

or rent it.

[Change]

I'm in the middle of nowhere.
The closest video store only has original Xbox games.

[Kerjack]

I hated RE4's controls but truthfully you get used to them after a day or so and the gameplay took into account that you couldn't strafe so meh. Hate to see them continue using them but if the game is quality otherwise its something I can learn to live with.

[Jack Bauer]

I hate the controls at first but you get the hang of them. sort key presses help alot. could still improve but i actually enjoyed playing it with a friend. we hada laugh popping off the zombies heads.

[G-Bus]

Didn't mind the caveman controls. Classic Resident Evil came to mind. Nice graphics, great presentation. It all comes together quite nicely. Don't think I'll be buying it as RE games aren't really my thing, but definite rent for co-op.

[The Batman]

I hate the controls at first but you get the hang of them. sort key presses help alot. could still improve but i actually enjoyed playing it with a friend. we hada laugh popping off the zombies heads.

The controls are the one thing that will probably stop me from getting RE5.

that is pretty interesting but seems pointless at the same time. This isn't ten years ago. Most people play online.

Anyway the game look great and we'll get some insight on Redfield and what he has been up to since RE, if you are into that sort of stuff

[the creeps]

if you get mail, you could go with gamefly.

[ShitBreak]

Yeah, played the demo last night co-op with my buddy.

The controls suck...but I think I could get used to them. The graphics are fucking stunning though. I mean...jesus.

But yeah. Controls fucking suck. I used the "RE4" config.

[Rumpleforeskin]

Anybody down for some co-op (360 here) come friday evening?

[Le Goat]

it's released?

[Rumpleforeskin]

It goes on nationwide sale friday morning (not next tuesday). Maybe some Friday the 13th shit or something.

[PhilipChocolate]

Meh, RE peaked at 2

[Draven X 23]

Its not really Resident Evil anymore anyway. Everything that made it Resident Evil left after RE0. I never thought there would be a main RE game with 2 players.

But I am still going to buy it.

[Draven X 23]

I just saw the preview for RE5 on South Park. And the end of it makes me feel like Jill will be on Weskers side.

[Jack Bauer]

some shops might release it early although our shop was under strict instructions not to sell before tomorrow (friday) although we got an email from our head office saying a few stores were selling it and if a local store wasselling it we could legally. bummer was the fucking shop across from us wasnt so gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

[Le Goat]

Set in a fictional African country, the latest in the critically-acclaimed Resident Evil (http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/resident-evil-5/) series is sparking racial controversy (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123672060500987853.html) over its choice of enemies.
Famed for their zombie-packed gameplay, the Resident Evil games form one of gaming's longest-running horror stories. But recent episodes have adopted more modern premises, and the fifth title eschews the undead altogether, leaving the apple-pie hero to gun down armies of what the Wall Street Journal calls "poor and shirtless" African villagers. It's not surprising that it's aroused some interest.
http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/ga/buzz/feature/vg18/ngai_120x120.jpgEx-Newsweek editor N'Gai Croal: "No one black worked on this game."


One of those shocked by the game's content was respected industry commentator N'Gai Croal, who described his reaction to Resident Evil 5 as "Wow, clearly no one black worked on this game." It's not an unreasonable assumption: as the WSJ observes, the video games industry is dominated by white and Asian males. In games, black protagonists are a comparatively rare sight.
Resident Evil's designer, Jun Takeuchi, told MTV (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/07/21/resident-evil-5-producer-comments/) in an interview that he was suprised at the reaction many observers had to the game, and commented that racial issues in his native Japan are different from those in Western countries. (Incidentally, he also confirmed that several of Resident Evil 5's development team are black.)
The game doesn't confront the race issue head-on: the protagonist, Chris Redfield, has a female sidekick who's from the region (although she's light-skinned), and the WSJ notes the game is careful to identify why his opponents are so violent. "The game suggests that the barbarism depicted in the game is a result of your enemies' zombieness, not their African identity. In short, Africans don't beat you to death with their hands -- zombies do," it says. But there's still little Chris can do about it except shoot them.
http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/ga/buzz/feature/vg15/vg_feature_residentevil5_playicon.jpgWatch Playback: Resident Evil 5 Sparks Controversy
(http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/playback/playback-21/1263777)

Is it racist? Taken purely in isolation, the sight of a white male gunning down hordes of semi-mindless African opponents has provoked many reactions. But although only a few reviews have sneaked out so far, they largely brush off the racism allegations: it's currently scoring 87% at review aggregation site metacritic.com. Even the BBFC, the group responsible for issuing age certifications in Britain, publicly declared the race controversy a non-issue.
Other commentators have been less charitable. One preview on Eurogamer.net (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/resident-evil-5-hands-on-chapter1to3?page=3) slammed the game as playing "so blatantly into the old cliches of the dangerous dark continent and the primitive lust of its inhabitants that you'd swear the game was written in the 1920s".
But most video game critics seem to have ignored the race controversy. "For my money, fun is fun, and RE5 has near infinite ammo in that department," said IGN in this review (http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/resident-evil-5/review-1294914), which goes on to award it a top score. In fact, it's turning in top scores almost across the board.

[Archangel]

Fucking PC attitude. Mowing down hundreds of Spaniards is absolutely okay, but the second their skins turns a bit darker, it's Hitler's brain child.

[Le Goat]

i can't wait to put on some duelin' banjo's as I mow down some nigras

[Hoser]

That is the retarded. Over sensitive pussies need to be mowed down. Seriously, the guy is ok with hundreds of skinny shirtless white people being gun down in the other 4, but now that they are black, in Africa mind you, it is a problem. Fuck You N'Gai Croal

[patcooper]

if you buy this at any toys r us store you will get a 20 gift card included. i got mine this morning.

[Archangel]

Thank you Britain. Instead of shelling out €70 for this (that's what, $92?), I got it for 30 quid. It's been shipped yesterday, let's hope it's here tomorrow (Street Fighter IV took two days from Blighty)...

[Pax Britannia]

I'm having great fun with this so far. But the framrate seems very shakey. It may just be my console because I noticed the same problem with the Demo. If anyone moves quickly in the cutscenes the screen seems to stutter.

[The Batman]

The controls are the only reason why I will never ever play this game. You would think by now Capcom would get with the times.

[Hoser]

I just got this, downloaded the update and my girlfriend called me to have me come down and party with her friends.. Stupid bitch, I wants to plays my games.

Guess it will have to wait until tomorrow for me to develop my bed sores.

[Draven X 23]

Why do women never understand to leave a guy alone when they get a new toy.

I get a new game and my wife thinks its 'together time'. I just wanna be left alone for 6 hours to play my game.

[Archangel]

I just got this, downloaded the update and my girlfriend called me to have me come down and party with her friends.. Stupid bitch, I wants to plays my games.

Guess it will have to wait until tomorrow for me to develop my bed sores.

Fuck that, I'll teach the missus to play Sheva on co-op.

[Pax Britannia]

Women seem pretty forgiving when it comes to the Resident Evil franchise. My missus enjoys watching me play it but she can get a bit annoying. When I was fighting the chainsaw wielding guy she kept shouting "shoot him in the chainsaw!" which I guess in real life would be a good tactic but in the game is pointless advice and only added to my tension levels.

[Hoser]

Fuck that, I'll teach the missus to play Sheva on co-op.

She is coming over later to give it a try.

[Hoser]

Has anyone played online yet?

[Hoser]

The controls are the only reason why I will never ever play this game. You would think by now Capcom would get with the times.

Honestly. They aren't great. But they aren't horrible. The game is still fun.

One thing I noticed about this game is that it really isn't a Resident Evil game, as in you aren't always on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to jump out at you next. Now that doesn't mean it isn't a great game, it is an awesome shooter and gets better the more you play. From what i see this game is going to have a very high replay value. So do not buy this expecting it to be like RE's of the past. Buy it expecting a fun shooting game and you will love it.

[Gary_Busey]

How similar is 5 to 4?

[Hoser]

I barely played 4, and don't remember much about it, but these may help you a bit.

http://i39.tinypic.com/3g36h.jpg

From what I have seen it seems like a better game overall.

One thing about this game is I think I am going to start over on hard. It seems a little too easy becuase you always have a partner with you to watch your back

[Archangel]

You still won't be able to understand what the enemy is saying.

Or, you could speak foreign fucking langua... Oh, wait, Americans.

[The GWD]

Or, you could speak foreign fucking langua... Oh, wait, Americans.

¿Qué?

[Archangel]

Morir es vivir... Morir es vivir...

[Archangel]

Honestly. They aren't great. But they aren't horrible. The game is still fun.
Agreed. I find Killzone 2's controls to be far more confusing.

So it's just like RE4, then.

[Gary_Busey]

What language are they speaking in RE5?

[Archangel]

Ilunga-Mbenga.

[Gary_Busey]

Right.

[Archangel]

Iguodala?

[Gary_Busey]

Jordan!?!

So you don't know what they're speaking either.

[patcooper]

I've been waiting for jack bauer to pop out and start screaming GET DOWN!

[Archangel]

Jordan!?!

So you don't know what they're speaking either.

I was referring to the "still" part, which was a reference to the Spanish spoken in RE4...

[GhettoSuave]

Reminds me alot of RE4, which is a good thing. Love the Co-op mode. Gonna be played multiple times.

[Hoser]

So it's just like RE4, then.

Like I said, I have very limited RE4 game time. Like maybe 15 minutes, once, when drunk. I know very little about the game. Just from what I have read it is suppose to be different then the others in that fashion, but I will take others word for it since you all probably have alot more RE4 time in than I.

[Archangel]

Oh, 90 hours or so.

[Pax Britannia]

Like I said, I have very limited RE4 game time. Like maybe 15 minutes, once, when drunk. I know very little about the game.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that you havent played 4 because 5 is essentially the same game with prettier graphics and a different setting. 4 deffinetly had more atmosphere though.

[Hoser]

Two things I hate with a passion are:

1. Cannot crouch - seriously, let me crouch
2. Cannot Strafe/Move with a weapon drawn - GAY GAY GAY

[Pax Britannia]

Anyone played Dead Space? Thats pretty much exactly how RE controls should be from now on.

[Hoser]

You chose....poorly

Na I dont blame ya, i'm a FPS fanatic myself but I was crushingly dissapointed with Resistance 2. Dead Space has come down in price since Christmas, you should pick it up.

Kinda embarissingly for RE5 some of the boss battles remind me very much of Dead Space.

I had Far Cry 2 at first, then I just resealed the package and returned it for R2. So it could have been much worse.

Ho boy dont tell me! I bought FarCry 2 and just out of spite kept it long enough to complete then immediately traded it in for MGS4 once I got a PS3.

Thank God I had Resistance 2 for free with the PS3. I wouldnt have liked to pay for it.

Edit: Oh and before I forget. Does anyone think Irving looks like Mongo?

Nearly identical


Even more so post mutation.

[zero]

I liked the 4th and I even like this one but to me the last truly good game in the series was code veronica.

[The_SoC]

I think somewhere around RE4, the series turned away from Survival Horror and become an action horror game. I'm not complaining at all, don't get me wrong, I loved RE4 and I'm enjoying RE5 as I type this, but compare either of those games with RE2, and you'll find that they're almost in completely different genres. It's like comparing apples and suitcases. You just can't.

[Archangel]

Yeah, but stuff evolves. Final Fantasy XII is a completely different beast from FF VI, but I'm not complaining.

[The_SoC]

I'm pretty sure we're saying the exact same thing, in different ways. The newer Resident Evils are completely different from the earlier ones. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing by any means. I'm just saying that it's a little pointless to try and compare the two, because they are so different.

[Hoser]

Resident Raider or Tomb Evil???

[Draven X 23]

I miss the Merchants.

They were more personable then the random weapon screens.

Also they really enjoy throwing new people into RE games. Where are Barry and Carlos? I do enjoy seeing what has happened to Chris and Jill though.

Also I miss zombies. This and 4 I can aim for a headshot and now I get an alien thing coming at me. I keep forgetting those things were easily killed by Flash Grenades.

[The_SoC]

I miss the Merchants.

What're ya buyin? What're ya sellin? Ah, I'll buy it at a high price!
Man, you're right, I missed that guy. Instead we get weapons in random suitcases and a boring item purchase screen. blah.


Also I miss zombies. This and 4 I can aim for a headshot and now I get an alien thing coming at me. I keep forgetting those things were easily killed by Flash Grenades.

Jesus, I COMPLETELY forgot about that. I've been selling all my grenades to buy gun upgrades. It completely slipped my mind that you can use them to kill parasites. Damn, it's been a while since RE4...

[Pax Britannia]

I totally forgot that too. I just use my shotgun on those things that sprout from the head.

[Hoser]

Am I the only one that cannot find the Emblems?? I have 2 so far.


Also, HOLY SHIT, Japan owns the Leader board

[Draven X 23]

I think I shot an emblem. But only 1.

I did see a lot of jewels stuck in walls.

Also Sheva keeps shooting me in the back. Bitch can't aim.

[Archangel]

I think I shot an emblem. But only 1.

I did see a lot of jewels stuck in walls.

Also Sheva keeps shooting me in the back. Bitch can't aim.

That's why you can turn partner damage off.

[Draven X 23]

Its off. Its just annoying. I need cover and that BSAA member can't shoot for shit.

[Pax Britannia]

She hasnt put a foot wrong with me so far.

[Evil]

I just got this game this afternoon.

And I would just like to point out how gay it is that you cannot move while aiming & shooting like in dead space. I've found the controls slower and clunkier than dead space so far.

And that stupid btich keeps getting in my fucking way when surrounded by blacks.

[Archangel]

The fat black dudes are going on my fucking nerves.

[Hoser]

This game is far to easy on regular. Once i finish it I am going back and doing it on hard, should be more fun and more of a challenge. So far it hasn't been a challenge, kind og just running through the motions.

[Archangel]

It doesn't help that you can loot an area, quit, sell all the jewels you found, and start the area again.


Otherwise, it's the same as 4. The first fifteen minutes are tough because you don't have any ammo, but the second you get the MP5 and the shotgun, it's a breeze.

[Hoser]

I have yet to do any "cheating". I am sure at some point I will just to upgrade all my guns, but so far I am still kicking some serious ass.

The only thing I like is that you do not have tons of ammo. You are always on the brink of running out, and I only have once so far.

[Evil]

I'm playing on hard and have no ammo half the fucking time, knife action baby.

which makes it double gay you cannot move aim and shoot all at the same time.

Capcom = 5 years behind everyone else.

[The_SoC]

The way it should be is that moving results in a degradation in aim, so that you can either choose to move and shoot, but miss a lot, or stay still and hit everything. Just make it so that the sight wavers with every step you take. Some guns it won't matter (shotty), others it'll completely fuck up your ability to hit shit (sniper). It makes far more sense.

Capcom today confirmed that a new multiplayer mode will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 (http://kotaku.com/tag/xbox-360/) versions of Resident Evil 5 (http://kotaku.com/tag/resident-evil-5/) in a few weeks.
The Versus mode (http://kotaku.com/tag/versus-mode/) will cost $5 on the Playstation Network and 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 and pits players against each other in a contest of survival, according to Capcom. Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer's Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor's Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles.
So multiplayer shooter action in a Resident Evil game confirmed (http://kotaku.com/5167994/resident-evil-5-trophies-reveal-online-multiplayer-modes). What do you think? Too close to the game's release to charge for it?
Pretty dumb if you ask me. Unless they change it so you can strafe while shooting, this will probably be horrible to play 2v2.

[Archangel]

Standing still while shooting at the enemy? What is this, the Revolutionary War?

[Pax Britannia]

I just completed the game. The end boss has assured I wont have overly fond memories of this game.

8/10

Come on Capcom. I feel as if your keeping the shitty controls to make the game harder thusly upping the tension when your up against hundreds of foes. Update the control scheme and give us faster and smarter enemies. Other than that the graphics were top notch as were the level layouts and foe designs.

[The_SoC]

One thing I really didn't like in this game was the way that they toned down the violence from RE4. I mean, get killed by a Dr. Sal in RE4, and you see Leon get his head chopped off. In RE5, all of the gruesome stuff happens offscreen. Not a huge deal, I'll admit, but it's dissapointing. It was fun watching all of the different death sequences in RE4.
I remember being killed by one of those insect things in the Sewers, and having it burn Leon's face off. I sat there and was just like "what the fuck? that was awesome." It's really been toned down in this edition. I finished it last night on Vet, and while taking on the final boss, Sheva got skewered....but all you see are her feet dangling. Lame.

[Draven X 23]

When did Samus Aran become a part of Resident Evil?

[Jack Bauer]

on the final boss, got killed qutie a few times because of the stupid cunt. i gived her big fucking guns and the stupid twat shoots at him with a pistol. what the fuck. giveher a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle and she'll use the sniper. apart from her being a retarded window licker i find the game pretty decent. controls could be tweaked big time but are workable. the shooting while standing still is annoying.

[Pax Britannia]

I took the pistol off Sheva after the first level. She's quite good with the machine gun and uses short controlled bursts. However she just fires the handgun until theres no ammo left.

I noticed that myself. just annoying that she doesnt choose her gun depending on the situation. big ass boss.. use a big ass gun.. must give her some credit though. she did save my ass a few times but overall i wanna bend her over a table and fuck her with a rocket launcher

Yeah in general she's pretty awesome. But she doesnt seem to like using the grenade launcher or the rocket launcher. That can be a good thing though, i used her like a mule to carry them around.

[Hoser]

Do not give her the shock stick. she will use that instead of guns.

[Draven X 23]

I gave her the Shotgun as soon as I found it. She uses it pretty well unless I am standing a few feet from her. Then she wastes half the ammo trying to shoot through me.

But during boss battles I give her one weapon and a lot of ammo. As she runs out I give her another weapon.

She gets no toys until she earns them.

[Pax Britannia]

Managing Sheva is like managing a real woman:

Tempremental.
Wasteful of resources.
Often retarded.

[Draven X 23]

I'm on the last level and she's taking a break. I open the doors and she stands in a corner and gets killed by those reaver bugs. She just stands there. Doing nothin.

[The_SoC]

Yeah, she's kinda worthless on that level for some reason. Solution:
1. Grenade Reavers
2. Shotgun Reavers weak spot when they get up from grenade
3. ???
4. Shit bricks when the door opens.

[Rumpleforeskin]

I think RE4 is one of the best games ever made, but this game seems....off. Don't get me wrong, it's fairly fun and has outstanding graphics, but something about it just doesn't jive with me.

[The_SoC]

I think it's the fact that there isn't anyone in this game who's...small time.

Seriously, I miss Leon's awesomely cheesy One-Liners

"Where's everyone going? Bingo?"

Anyone else noticed how the satellite targeter is essentially the hammer of dawn from Gears of War? It even has the same sound effects.

[Jack Bauer]

thats the first thing i thought the moment i picked it up

[Pax Britannia]

thats the first thing i thought the moment i picked it up

I dont know what the developers were thinking. Maybe because Gears isnt that popular in Japan they thought they could get away with it.

[Jack Bauer]

fuck i hate this chick. shes a retard. on the final fight and the stupid cunt keeps dying or does fuck all. dont know about you guys but i think shes got shitter the further you get in the game. fuck her

[Pax Britannia]

Yeah that was pretty much my experience. I was very impressed with the AI until the final chapter.

[Jack Bauer]

the fucking retard is leaving me to do all the shooting. she ran out of machine gun ammo so instead of using the grenade launcher with explosive rounds she just doesnt bother doing anything. instead she follows me about. this is pissing me off. gonna turn it off before i do some damage

[Jack Bauer]

just used the knife

[Pax Britannia]

I think they programmed her that way so she doesnt expend all the expensive explosive ammo.

[Draven X 23]

Yeah, she's kinda worthless on that level for some reason. Solution:
1. Grenade Reavers
2. Shotgun Reavers weak spot when they get up from grenade
3. ???
4. Shit bricks when the door opens.

I figured out the best thing to do is run to the ladders jump down. Then go to the next ladders and head all the way up and hide in the rooms. She usually stands there shooting as things come through the doors.

And the last level she kept getting her ass knocked into the lava. So I pretty much did all the work and had her hold the pistol. also I'd make her follow me every 5 steps.

[Evil]

Sheva blew through over 100 rounds right at the beggining of the final boss fight, before he fucks off to go after her, he didnt bother getting pissed off at her since she wasted all her ammo. So the game wouldnt progress.

Ok and I was hoping there would be some kind of extra quest involving Jills side of the story after the game, like Ada's in RE4.

[The_SoC]

So, the overall consensus on this game is that it's pretty good, but trying to play it single-player is a pain in the fucking ass? Because that was my experience.

And don't get me started on how many times i've had a licker stab me with its tongue, only to have sheva stand RIGHT BESIDE ME doing fuck all. Press B, you stupid bitch!

[Draven X 23]

Sheva is hit and miss. I usually give her an upgraded pistol and let her hold all the ammo and healing items. Rest of the time I have all the weapons on me with full ammo. Once its empty just switch weapons.

[Draven X 23]

Resident Evil 5 is a big hit. Know what Capcom likes better than big hits? Making big hits into big hit sequels.

According to RE5 producer Masachika Kawata, "We haven't decided whether we're going to make Resident Evil 6 yet... But if we do, it could take anywhere up to eight years, but hopefully only four."

It could take up to eight years, but hopefully only four?! To recap, Resident Evil came out in 1996, Resident Evil 2 in 1998, Resident
Evil 3 in 1999, Resident Evil 4 in 2005 and Resident Evil 5 in 2009. And possibly RE6 in 2017?

Expect a gajillion spin-offs and Wii ports in between then.


8 years?

I'll be fucking 40!

[Draven X 23]

So anyone know why I got an Update for RE5 this morning? Or is it just to prepare for the DLC tomorrow?

[Evil]

Whats the DLC? I was planning on selling this game now, I think I've got everything their is to get, might as well get rid of it while its still worth something.

[Archangel]

Online versus modes.

[Draven X 23]

The DLC is some VS mode.

Got everything already? Damn. I did take a week off but I still have 9 treasures to go and a lot of upgraded guns to get.

[Archangel]

I still haven't figured out how to get the gem from Wesker during the first encounter.

[Draven X 23]

I still haven't figured out how to get the gem from Wesker during the first encounter.

Take the Magnum with unlimited ammo and just hit and run. Once he takes enough damage the encounter is over and you face Jill. The gem is sitting in the center of the area between the staircases.

[Archangel]

I tried with the S&W .500, and no such luck. I'll try with the minigun next.

[Draven X 23]

Well both Sheva and I had the first Magnums with full power. It took like 3 minutes hitting and running. Shoot him until he falls over then keep shooting until he tries to get up then run away and hide. And do that until he is dead. I had Sheva on Attack and she got his attention a lot and got in some good shots too.

We are now both using the Magnums I found when hiding from Wesker.

[Archangel]

The L.Hawk? Too weak. It has a max damage of 3,000, while the M500 goes all the way to 5,200. The only advantage is the piercing ability of the automatic.

[Archangel]

Currently, we're decked out with the M3 Shotgun and the PSG-1 (both), while I usually keep an M500 for myself and give Sheva an AK, all on unlimited ammo.

When I know that I'll face reapers (bastards), I'll take along the minigun.

[Draven X 23]

I haven't used anything other then the original magnums since I got them with unlimited ammo. I have been trying to do speed runs to get all S rankings. I think so far this run through I have died once. And that was my own fault I put the controller down to get a drink during a cutscene and forgot it had a quicktime event.

Vs Wesker you just want pure power. I used the Magnum vs him in the 2nd encounter where ya have to turn the lights off and got him done in like 90 seconds.

[Archangel]

Ha, unlimited rocket launcher ftw.

[Jack Bauer]

i used the rocket launcher

[Draven X 23]

I still need to unlock a lot of stuff. I haven't even played it in co-op yet. I unlocked some stuff but mostly stopped after I beat it, got all the BSAA symbols and got UA for the Handgun and Magnum.

I figure I'll unlock a lot of shit over the next few weeks. I really enjoy it. Just thought the ending was pretty lame for all the work.

[Archangel]

Why bother with the handgun? I first got UA for the sniper rifle, then for the magnum (probably a wrong decision, should have done the shotgun first), then the shotty, and lastly the AK.

Maybe I'll get one for the Beretta 93R, it's got a nice damage rating of 400 or so...

[Draven X 23]

Sheva's Handgun was the only weapon I actually enhanced the whole time. I went through weapons quickly. I always wanted a new toy. Then once I beat the game I gave her the UA Pistol. She wouldn't waste my ammo then. Then I spent the next 6 hours on the Chicken island area. Grabbing up all the goodies. Finishing the level. Then doing it again. Until I maxed the Magnum.

I spent all of my 1st run through points on Action Figures. So I need to beat the game like 12 times to be able to get UA in a lot of other stuff. I just got UA for my Dragonov.

[Archangel]

Best way to get money is Level 2-1 on amateur, best way to get points Level 2-3 on normal imo.

[Draven X 23]

Really? I prefer 3-1 for money. There are gems, treasures and bugs everywhere. Plus chicken eggs sell well. I can go get a shower and sit Chris and Sheva on the island. My controller slightly sticks to the left so chris moves into a wall and keeps walking while Sheva picks up all the eggs. I got 10 Gold Eggs(1000 each), 20 White Eggs(250 each) and 10 Brown Eggs(500 each) and I didn't do anything.

[Archangel]

Meh, I prefer to run through the towns, they're full of gems, especially the chest after the first chainsaw guy.

Also, on Professional, most boxes hold money, and enemies drop up to 400 gold. But then, most will kill you with one hit.

I just managed to get my last treasure. Yay.

[Archangel]

Aaaand... purchased and fully upgraded all weapons.

[Draven X 23]

Nice. So does this mean you are done playing now?

[Archangel]

Dunno, There are still a lot of trophies left. and I would like to finish it on Professional, but that's really fucking hard.

Also, many of the trophies can only be gotten with the DLC. Bastards.

[Draven X 23]

Really? Thats lame. I only have like 12 achievements left to get. not sure if I will get the DLC. Control Scheme does not really lend itself to a Death Match.

[Evil]

I only get the free DLC's. So I usually have to wait like a year.

Only thing I ever paid for was the legendary halo 3 maps, and that was a waste of cash.

[Draven X 23]

I wait for it to go on sale. I just bought all the Oblivions shit at half price except the few ones I got for free last year or the Horse Armor cause thats a waste of space.

I'd like to see them add a mode where you have to survive with a group in a large Raccoon Police Station. Kind of like they did with RE:Outbreak but where people could communicate.

[Bill Paxton]

How do you get all this unlimited ammo shit?

[Archangel]

How do you get all this unlimited ammo shit?

Buy all upgrades for a weapon. After you finish the game once, you can unlock unlimited ammo for that weapon for (a lot of) points - so don't spend all your points on action figures on your first play-through.

Or, you can fully upgrade the Vz61 Scorpion SMG, and buy a gatling gun with unlimited ammo for 50,000 gold.

[Archangel]

Or fully upgrade the S75 bolt action rifle, and buy the longbow for Sheva - it packs a serious punch, has unlimited arrows, but is an utter bitch to aim.

Also, the quiver blocks the view at her arse.

Am I wrong for enjoying this view?

[Evil]

jill > sheva

[Archangel]

Racist.

[Evil]

Shevas accent also seems to go between african and british during the game.

I think my dislike for sheva comes from the fact shes always in the way.

id say jill > claire > ada > sheva.

never played 0.

[Archangel]

Hell no. Ada's first by a country mile.

[Draven X 23]

I never understood the RE movies. Everyone knows you have to have at least a C-cup to fight zombies or zombie like beings. Milla just does not live up to the rule.

The only thing I do not like is the Sheva's set up is the opposite of Chris. I know its to make it fair for lefties. but they need something where you can just switch them. Also an unlockable Jill in the main story would be nice. Like in RE2 where you can unlock Hunk and Tofu.

[Evil]

i was dissapointed we could not play jills side of the story after beating the game. or weskers even

[Archangel]

Yeah, it felt awkward playing Sheva w/ everything on the wrong side, but you do get used to it. The hardest part is the aiming beam going in the other direction.

[Archangel]

i was dissapointed we could not play jills side of the story after beating the game. or weskers even

Never give away for free what you can sell as DLC later on.

[Draven X 23]

Yeah. Glad DLC didn't come around sooner. We'd not get the Ada game in RE4.

[Archangel]

Quite.

But killing Krauser with the crossbow was a such a fucking hassle, I sometimes wished they hadn't bothered.

[Draven X 23]

I thought it was fun. I beat RE4 like 50 times and Ada thing like 30. Played the Merc mode like 1000 times. I loved Krausers arm attack.

[Archangel]

We didn't get Mercenaries in Germany.


One of the reasons I'll never buy a game here again. Thank you, German censors.

[Draven X 23]

Really? Whoa. The Mercs mode was what made the game a million times more awesome.

Me vs Spanish Zombies. Who will survive? Why are women with chainsaws coming after me? WHOA Why is Jason and Leatherface's love child coming after me? Took me 3 days to come up with my way of getting max points. Still working on it for the Mercs mode in RE5. I have the 1st level down pat. Working on the other ones.

[Archangel]

I suck at Mercenaries thus far. First level, best I got was like 13,000 points. :(

[iolas]

Sheva is by far the hottest chick in the RE series. It could be my jungle fever taking its usual course, but that British accent turns me on.

[Draven X 23]

As Chris just use the shotgun. I drop the pistol to make room for more Shotgun ammo. The main goal to start is to get as many timer bonuses as you can. it depends where you start but normally I start on the platform. As soon as it starts shoot the oil cans on the ground in front of you. That should start a fire to cover your back.

This is where you run all over getting every timer. You make your own path since I do not remember them all off the top of my head at the moment. Usually when I am done I know I got one at the top of the ladder near the beginning. Drop down go into the house shoot the female inside and grab a couple grenades and hit the timer. Go out the back window shoot the explosive barrell to clear out anyone in front. Go through and head up the path. Get timer in front. Turn and shoot the oil cans to cover your back. Go onto the roof of the house the woman was in and get the timer. I know there are other timers but I forget them.

Jump down and head up the path again but this time open the chest and get the timer bonus clock. Turn and drop down the hole. Get that timer then make your way all the way to the end of the little water area. This is where you make your stand.

There is an explosive barrell in front of you. When there are 5 or more near it shoot the barrell. You should be able to keep stocked with Shotgun ammo by just taking out anyone who comes within 10 ft. The only problem might be the guy with the axe. But I usually throw a grenade when he is within 15 ft then pump him full of shells. He usually goes down fine. Took me 4 times playing the level to unlock Jill. You gotta get 40k.


Good Luck.

[Archangel]

Sounds like work, but then, so was beating the game with all S rankings...

[Draven X 23]

Actually once you figure out your path to get all the timers its pretty easy. The rest of the time is sitting in the corner shooting anyone that comes near ya.

[Archangel]

Go vote in the Sheva v Alyx poll.

I got 10 Gold Eggs(1000 each), 20 White Eggs(250 each) and 10 Brown Eggs(500 each) and I didn't do anything.


I did 5.2 for cash. Licker hall. 12.5k from lionhearts for about 4 minutes work.

5.1 and 5.2 if I wanted cash and points.

[Archangel]

Isn't 5-1 shorter, with a similar amount of lickers? Also, 5-3. Up to three reapers near the beginning. Gatling gun the mother fuckers, save, quit, spend.

[Evil]

5-2, you just do the hallways with the lickers, quit save and restart (you start at the beggining of the hall again as its a checkpoint.)

11 lickers I think, it takes under 2 and a half minutes. 12500 everytime. One of the lickers sometimes drops eggs as well.
You can max any weapon out in about 4 - 5 trips. I maxed all the 1st ones out here to get the supposed ultimate ones. The triple barrel shotgun on Chris has one werid fucking shooting posture.

If you've got more time to burn and want points also doing 5-1 thru to the end of 5-3 is great.
