Current Events > I'm playing Resident Evil 4. Spoilers

(+) Yeah! (+)

^Yeah that's like the water room in the castle....annoying as hell

And by the time you get to the island, yeah it pretty much goes from survival horror, to third person shooter as you are literally run over by enemies.

Son of a bitch I open the shutter door and a regenerator is literally standing right there waiting for me. I can't afford to waste any more healing items.

Ok another one, this time I heard him coming. At least all that money will buy for me more upgrades.

Thank GOD a save and a merchant. They feel more spaced out than ever.

Right? Except it's just not the same. Something feels off. Like, it's not the same suspense I felt back then. I just feel annoyed and preoccupied with trying to keep Ashley from getting killed. They're more frustrating than scary like the cultists were.

Huh a giant... truck. I guess we can use this to get out. Hehe is Ashley even old enough to drive this thing? Well at least she's proving useful.

Yeah I always felt the castle was the best in atmosphere, enemies, environment, etc. It just had the perfect feel in the game. And a good transition from starting out in the village. The island always felt so out of place in the game to me.

Holy shit what an insane section. Used up all my grenades now, every single one. Just crashed into a wall because another giant truck on fire was gonna ram us. Really makes me appreciate quiet rooms like this, so peaceful... Oh well time to move on.

I like the creepy mad scientist lab feel of that one research facility at least. Jury is still out on the place though for now.

It's Saddler! Damn it no Ashley noooo I just saved you! She's being controlled by the Plagas inside her, and Leon can't move with Saddler controlling his body! How are we gonna save them it's too late?

That's Krauser again and Ada! Are they working together? Entering some kinda... furnace room now.

Holy qte Batman! That was fucking intense. I just died like 10 times on the knife battle with Krauser! He's the one who kidnapped Ashley! And all for umbrella's sake? I thought umbrella went under. There's something deeper and more rotten at the heart of this conspiracy, I just know it!

And where does Ada fit in. She just saved me from being killed... But won't tell me anything about what she's doing here.

Godamnit did I just fight off a giant brute only to be killed by security lasers? Lol the game just went complete james bond like there. I miscalculated the qte and reaction time

When you get past the lasers and watch the cutscene, sit in the chair for a larf.
---

Lol that's the room Saddler was sitting in and scheming on his cheesy throne! Lol hail to the king eh. And it gives you a direct location on some treasure

Huh more cave like areas... And what's with those hanging carts.

FUCKING FUCK FuCK WHAT IS THAT THING! A giant centipede man type thing it's barbaric! Holy shit kill it kill it with fire! It just went up on the crates. What do I do how do I get Out??!!

Ah you're at It. You have to escape by finding the buttons to drop each section of the cages. And even when you escape that ......
---

I see what you mean. Had to shoot the green lights on all the carts. And then when I thought I escaped that thing came out of the darkness like the disgusting demon thing it is. It's hideous!

Finally killed it using those exploding barrels and my magnum, Bastard kept tunneling underground.

Feels good to have regular enemies all lined up like that to be killed with one exploding barrel, what a relief. I am in no mood for more encounters.

Ugh more tunnel like areas. Sneaky to hide the hole inside the tent, good thing I always explore every area thoroughly.

Fighting 'IT' on Professional was a bitch. I'm very conservative with ammo, I came into that fight with 600-800 rounds or about 3-4 reloads on all my guns sans BButterfly.

I came out with about 80 rounds left.
---

My bb ammo was done, good think there was a tuneup waiting for me at the merchant. I mean I was just blasting away, I couldn't even care to conserve especially when he starts hiding in the dirt. Good thing I still have plenty of shotgun ammo, I make sure to conserve that for the hoards of mercenary soldiers this island keeps throwing at me.

Actually oh hell yeah I have 5 spare magnum bullets on hand. I noticed a trick a few chapters ago where if your gun clip is empty then enemies are more likely to drop ammo for that particular gun and same thing for barrels/crates loot.

When you get to that lake, shoot the fish immediately from the dock. They'll run away otherwise.

Well, swim away, but yeah.

He's trolling. You know what happens when you shoot from the dock when you first get there.

Thank god TC experienced it before Verdekal could ruin it for everyone
---

Holy fuck I'm battling Krauser, I'm actually fighting him! Where'd he go he just keeps using a flash grenade and disappearing!

Krauser what happened to you, you used to be a good guy...

Wait a minute I've never even heard of Krauser before this game, which game was he in, re 2?

Oh hell yes the cavalry has arrived! Finally some backup. This guy Mike in the helicopter is shooting down enemies! That's what I'm talking about

This section is fucking hell.

So have you checked out Ashley's butt or what?
---

Nooo Mike! We only knew ya a short time. Damn you Saddler! Insects lives doesn't compare to human lives!

What the hell Leon is choking Ada! Fricking creepy why is he smiling? That's creepier than anything the game has thrown at me, that smile.

What the hell was in that white trash bag in the dumpster?

Finally! I did it, there's Ashley in a giant... pod. Ada just sacrificed herself to save us, I knew she was good.

Oh thank God, we got the Plagas! How... oddly convenient that they have the technology to kill the Plagas and get it out of our bodies.

A save next to an elevator. This feels big, I sense an omen, an intuition.

Holy fuck guys this is it I'm battling Saddler, I'm battling Saddler!

How did he house that thing in his body under his robes...

They grow up so fast. :-)
---

Fuck yes that was badass, I was scrambling as fast as I could to get to the rocket launcher Ada threw me before that damn Saddler caught up, and then right as he was about to hit me with a tentacle, boom! Exploded the son of a bitch. Good riddance

What the... damn it Ada! It's not over yet, she's set the island to blow and took the sample with her! I need to find Ashley and get outta here!

Huh I can't believe Saddler still drops treasure though, what the heck am I gonna do with money now

You can start a new game + some new stuff that's now unlocked.
---

Update us on your progress through Mercenaries.
---

I did it. Beat the game.

That was the best end credits sequence in gaming.

The villagers were just normal, everyday people... And then when the music turns ominous. That was by far the best ending in games.

Final results screen:

Times killed, 159 times lol. Do they count the times Ashley is killed or carried off?

Thanks everyone for your support and help! I had fun. This was an amazing game, a fantastic experience.

Unlocked pro mode and so many other stuff. Assignment Ada? Separate Ways?

So the game is not over yet! I definitely want to know what Ada was doing during our time in the game.

I think I'll play separate ways and then maybe start a pro mode with Leon?

If you thought the game was hard enough (giggity)...Pro is a lot tougher if you're looking into playing through the game again.

The downside to this is that you start over from scratch. No weapons or items will carry over.

Separate Ways is the best thing you can unlock. I'd really recommend playing it.
---

Oh hells yeah you play as Ada and it's like watching the action behind the scenes. They're showing us all the things that happened in the main game was due to Ada! She rang the bell! She was shooting at the big cheese chief!

Can you meet Leon in the village area? I saw him running from the villagers and a chainsaw wielder like twice. Every time I was either on the roof or too far away to say hi. It's such a surreal experience.

Game feels a bit different though, like more difficult. Ada seems to move a little bit faster than Leon but she needs so many more knife slashes to kill the villagers. Good thing I already have my ladder technique prepped and ready. I should suggest that for a hint/tip on the boards for people who want to conserve ammo

Separate Ways lets you literally play all the things Ada did in Leon's mission that you never got to see. So you'll really appreciate how much she did to help you along the way. But in Separate Ways, I don't think you ever met up with Leon, except maybe during Leon vs Krauser. And even then, I believe it is just a cutscene. Don't quote me on that though, since it's been a while since I played it.
---

It really is so surreal though, to go through the same areas as Leon but a little different. I keep getting thrown off by expecting something to happen like an enemy appearing but they don't. Or the other way around.

And is Ada really working with Wesker? Somehow there's more to it. I'm loving Ada's explanation of the story at the beginning of the chapter. It's also considerably shorter than the main game. Not as much exploring. On chapter 3 now.

Yeah, you'll get more of what is going on with Wesker and Ada and why she does what she does to help Leon along the way. There's a cutscene about it and then at the end, when all you know is Ada blows up the island, you get to see that too from her point of view.
