My RE4 thread purged. Oh well. I played it first (my first ever RE game) on recommendation of @JakePotter480, but I wanted to come back to it later to beat professional. So Im gonna do that.

I also have REmakes 1 + 2 and RE5 from Steam.

Im playing RE2 tonight hopefully but well see. Any advice?

@DarthWendy since I guess youll want to follow this thread

(Sorry for the re-tag, I just had to repost this with a spoilers tag)

Please be courteous with spoilers. While there is a spoilers tag please try not to drop them for parts I havent reached yet.

RE4 was such fun, very different from the older games but in a good way, with a few minor annoyances

btw at the end of RE4 did you manage to do the jetski bit at the end without dying? Coz I kept hitting a rock or something after being told to accelarate and it pissed me off as it took me a few tries lol

Also RE2 is a great game, I only have the original but I've heard good things about the new version, I liked REmake but 2 holds a special place in my heart as that was my first ever RE game

With the endgame sequence, I died because I didnt realize you had to hit a jump off the rocks. Other than that it was fine and was like... the tamest escape sequence Ive ever played lol.

Advice for REmake 2, conserve your ammo.

Shot zombie legs to blow them off and then ran past them.

Oh and advice:

The Difficulty setting actually matters. Hardcore mode is a lot harder. You have limited saves due to Ink Ribbons. less ammo, enemies are tougher.

Assisted on the other hand as implied has aim assist so is very easy.

So I'd strongly suggest playing on normal unless you found RE4 absurdly easy or absurdly hard.

Arguably spoilers ahead (no plot spoilers but advice that might hurt going in blind since it will talk about gameplay.

Also remember that unlike RE4 you dont have to kill enemies. You can easily just ignore a ton of them by avoiding them.

It's often not worth headshotting enemies as it is semi-randomized how many hits it will take to kill them. Often it's much smarter to shoot them in the kneecap which causes them to stagger and then you can just run past them. This is a huge ammo saver

The Licker cannot hear you if you walk.

Only use Wooden Boards on either open windows or windows Zombies are banging on. If there are no zombies and the window is closed, boarding it up is a waste.

Never use single herbs, always combine them.

Mr X cannot follow you into save rooms

Search every nook and cranny, items are everywhere and the map will tell you whether or not there is more to find or if the room is depeleted. Look at the color whether it is red or blue

And I heard Leon A Claire B is the best path

In the remake this doesnt mean anything anymore.

All the "2nd run" does is skip the intro and change a couple of puzzle solutions, 97% of the game is identical

And I'm not really mad at that since I understand how making players beat the game 4 times to get the story doesn't really fly in 2019

Claire A Leon B is best order imo, maybe because I thought Claires story was better and youll probably be more engaged on your first playthrough.

But yeah it also doesnt matter the way it did in the OG game.

Well, Leon A Claire B is "best" in the sense that Leon's run is slightly easier imo, due to shotgun (Leon exclusive weapon) being better than grenade launcher (Claire exclusive), and since you just start, and the game being relatively punishing when you're new at it, it's recommended.

But yes no huge difference in the respective stories, except for B having the "true" boss at the end. B run starts clearly tougher than A though, regardless of the character, for reasons which in due time will become all too obvious >:]

Well you say that...

I won't spoil it for TC but let's just say which run is "Easier" is debatable.

Don't think of it like easy or hard just pick a character.

Yeah its one of the greats of horror gaming imo. You will go back to the first area but an unspecified (by me) amount of the puzzles/doors can only be solved with 1 of the 2 characters (each have their own exclusives).

This

You are faster than them, take advantage of that.

It actually also is possible to evade Zombies when they grab you without taking damage, but it is awkward as hell even for experts so I'm not sure if it worth considering.

Yes.

Learn your surroundings because you will run back and forth across with the stations with different keys for different puzzles.

It's back to old school survival horror.

This also leads to tactical decisions. If you leave a hallway full of zombies, you may have to come back to that room later.

I had like no ammo because I used the 6 bullets I had in the gas station. I didnt check the lobby area before opening the shutter so I didnt get to collect the ammo first time around.

Things I like:

- The counter system. Yeah Ive gotten better at keeping zombies away from me but this helps for when the game decides theyre not going to stumble after 3 shots in the leg.

- The puzzles. They feel so much more fulfilling than RE4 and its fun being able to go oh, I know where to take this when you find a new item. This also makes me appreciate the window boards more...

- The atmosphere. Im not really a horror junkie but I can appreciate it.

Things I dislike:

- The inventory. RE4s gun case was interesting. The inventory in this game feels much more limiting especially since youre forced to store puzzle items in there.

- Lickers. Fucking scary!

Welcome to classic Survivor Horror.

Just keep in mind if the item has a red tick..box...thing in the bottom right corner that means it no longer has any use and you can discard it

- Lickers. Fucking scary!


Lickers are pushovers. If you walk, they can't hear you and you can literally walk past them. You can also send them the wrong way by throwing a grenade but that's a waste IMO.

Dunno if you're playing as Claire or Leon but IIRC on Normal, one shot with a flame round from Claire kills them

Also speaking of Grenades... Might be worth keeping one or two in your storage box. Could come in handy later.

Try aiming for the knee.

Even on Hardcore they pretty reliably stumble after one shot to the knee

There's a chance you're shooting them in the groin area and that doesn't bother zombies much

Advice for Mr X (Don't read if you like being scared by him)

He can't go into puzzle or safe rooms so just duck in and he'll walk off.

He's slow as fuck so if you can easily out run him

He takes ages to wind up his swing and poses after striking, so if he does get close just bait and dodge him, then run away.

Despite being amusing don't shoot his hat off as this changes his animations and makes him more likely to double strike rather than adjust his hat.

You can down him with several headshots but there is no benefit in doing so, it wastes ammo and he gets back up sharpish

Listen out for his footsteps and you'll always know he is coming and where he is coming from.

His AI is literally patrolling the station and he can hear you. So if you can't see him/know he is nearby but he hasn't seen you, don't shoot and dont run and there's a good chance he won't find you.

He's really only as scary as you make him

Don't Watch the video if you never played Classic Resident Evil Before

This moment:

That was a very clever subversion of player expectations in 1998. Sure it seems like nothing now but keep in mind when you played RE1 and RE2 back in the day, you were used to the doors/stairs just being loading screens.

Another interesting thing about Mr. X and why he always seems to be close by

He's moving at extremely high speeds through unloaded areas, and when he gets to an area that's loaded, he'll begin the "patrol" where he can hear you shoot and run.

Also best to kill as many zombies as you reliably can in the station. You don't wanna be caught in a hallway full of mobs while X is tryna give it to ya.

Are you sure this is true?

I've seen out of bounds camera footage of Mr X walking around at normal speed

And on top of that, sometimes he is scripted to warp to where you are if you get too far away at certain points.

It's actually possible to spawn two Mr X's at once if you take advantage of this
