I've played the demo, and although it's a refreshing game rather than me playing Resident Evil 4, there's not that much that's "Scary" I'm having problems with the "Unending Horde" It's not hard, as it is just straight up annoying.



How is the full version BTW? any good? or should I just stay home and rent it?

this suffers the same as RE4 does, it loses all the scare tactics and spooky music :(
number 1 was great for scaring the gak out of you when you didnt expect it.
i would say:

RE1 - spooky survival horror.
RE2 - spooky survival horror.
RE3 - spooky survival horror.
RE4 - survival horror.
RE5 - survival horror.
RE outbreak - annoying survival horror.
RE code. - - spooky survival horror.

all in all it dropped its scary side and its now more of a bloodbath type game.
i think theres 1 or 2 jumpy parts, but thats mainly due to me trying to ajust the sound (speakers stopped working)

its well worth buying though.
i traded in call of duty WaW and gears 2 to get it (the girl has me on a budget with games )

only problems with it: in parts the never ending zombies are more annoying than they are hard.
lack of scary stuff doesent make it as fun.
alot of annoying 1 hit kill monsters on there (so dont get close to anything bigger than a zombie)

but its still a great game with loads of stuff to play about with.
its online, so it can be amusing at times.
great guns on there, alot of new style weapons

3 INFINITE MAGNUMS???

I barely scratched enough gold together to buy the Gatling Gun and the Bow. The next thing I was trying to get would've been the Hydra, just because it's awesome.

the hydra isnt bad atall mate
only good though once its been finished

i would prefer it if you could send over guns to a friend.



achievement tip of today: trust.
request items for your partner (healing or ammo) once you get it thank them using B
after 10 or so times you get the achievement.
(i still need to do this one)

See, there's one we could do together.

Hey JD, where are you right now that you can post so soon after I did? You wouldn't happen to be in range of your Box right now, would you?

i know
you can keep machine gun ammo if you want, my skorpion, gattling gun and sig are all infinates

nah, im on gate duty today mate, so just making the most of a quiet time here

Online experience is always pretty awful for me , like in DOW , something like this happens....

Room: where from?
me: canada.
Room: ahahaha you guys live in igloos , does dog
pull your cars?
me: .... think w/e you want

* you are kicked out of room.

Room: where from?
me: USA

*you are kicked out of room.

Room: parle vous francais?
me: oui

* you are kicked out of room.

Room: a/s/l?
me: MONIS PLZ? BRRRRRRRRRRR? JA JA JA JA HUA HUA HUA HUA HUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$^)*&SG

* you are kicked out of of room.

That's why I usually only play with people I know.
RE5 was the exception.

anung, thanks to call of duty 4 my rep is at 79% avoid
40% for language.

funny thing is, im allways in private or party chat, so im never talking to other players.

20% is for agression (sp?)
how does that one work in a game where you are ment to be killing people?

i got 4 people submit reviews against me simply because i got a 26 streak in it aswell.
apparently im not allowed to 0_o





i dont mind playing dakka members, hence why i have my gamertag on my profile.
i have no problems with anyone, unless of course i cannot understand them, so i leave.

on a side note here
girls with canadian accents sound pretty cute

You're too good for xbox live. We don't have reviews on PSN, thats a good thing. Less kids on it as well.

Oh, I was wrong about the chainsaw guy(obviously) their health ranges from 10,000-20,000 the guy with the axe has 12,000 health.

Also, in mercenaries there is one chicken per level. If you kill it you get a golden egg worth 2,000 points and will allow more enemies to spawn. There's a max of 5 per map and the chicken counts as 1. 150 enemies spawn per map and the big mini-boss guys spawn up to 8 times. Every other mini-boss is a stronger version.

i just hate the way the reviews work.
i could end up losing my account due to playing a game i like.
simply because half the people i play against cant average over 320 or so a game.

im not sure on chainsaw, but 4 shots with a eagle (3,000 power) kills axe boyo, so thats pretty dead on i would say.


not sure about the chickens since im too busy trying to wipe out all 150 enemies
but gold eggs sell for 1,200 on the xbox and rotten sell for 2,000 (hence why people duplicate them)
allthough its a long and boring process.
i rather build it up through a few different levels.

on prison level the boss is only spawned once, which weskers eagle drops in 5 shots (3 to the head)




also, incase anyone was wondering (got a PM today, so thought i would post here)
the figurines in the game cannot be found.
to unlock them you must find BSAA emblems, all 30 find you every figurine.
you must then buy them using points (not money)

points can be earned by: finishing chapters, depending on rank you will get more. (A = 900, S = 1,500, SS = 5,000)

you can also earn them in merc. mode depending on rank aswell.


if your trying to buy them all then just play through the game collecting everything, the points earned from chapters should cover 80% of the points cost needed for things.

also, remember to turn costumes and infinate ammo on

Also, the fish and goats count as enemies in the game. Kill them to boost your enemies routed score.

Well, enemies also have weaknesses against certain weapons and take extra damage depending on location hit.

The licker for example takes 300% extra damage when shot in its heart.

The RPG does 30,000 damage except against wesker, they do something like 1,000 or so damage. Wesker's pistol does 500 damage so it can take you out in two shots.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!









just a few changes there halo

nothing hurts weker atall, you can hit him, but it doesent hurt him atall.

a lickers weakspot is not only its heart, but also its spine.

Easy achievement: get close to a licker, shoot him with a standard shotgun (dont kill him :()
stand over him while he is on his back and stab him.

Heart stopper achievement done

Note: sheva can also do this by pushing X on a grounded licker, allthough you need to make sure it hits its heart


Wesker dash attack, midnight version wesker only. (merc mode)
run as normal with wesker, hit the X button at any point to perform a jumping knee attack, easy enough and can be used in a crowd of enemies


Easy Achievement: Max combo!
this one is simple and MUST be done on 2 player co-op
find a sub boss (the big chunky guys that try to punch you are best as they are slow)
stand either side of him, 1 person needs to throw a flash at him (or use flash rounds)
once stunned you must push X to punch him with chris, sheva then needs to quickly do the same from the otherside (kick)
chris must then do it again, keep going until it kills him.
(2 hits from each person does this)

Also, an easy way to get jill in single player.

Grab her and tell your AI partner to shoot. The AI should shoot the device and not jill. Give AI a pistol or similar weapon, not a shotgun.

*Possible SPOILER*
The weapons may not do "damage" but wesker has 30,000 health that you must dwindle down for the next fight. In the next fight, he has 28,000 health.

That's according to the guide.

BIG SPOILER ALERT!!!









halo, wesker has life in the part where you must wait 7 minutes.
but not much.
you do however get a treasure from making him leave early, to do this there is a simple way:

lure him into the alleys at the top of the stairs, hit him with any type of grenade (flash are best, then inc, then normal) this stuns him long enough to get 3-5 shots off at him with a magnum.
10 rounds from the eagle you find there are enough to make him run off.



also with jill: 2 ways, 1 eay, 1 hard.

Easy way yet risky: simply hit jill with the stun rod in the BODY (in the head will kill her, so aim for the double D's and you wont go too far wrong), this will allow you to hold her while your partner removes it 1st time.

Harder way, yet safer: hold her and shoot the gem a few times (do not use shotgun as said, also avoid using magnums and snipers as they pierce the gem and kill her)
i would say use either a pistol or the sig machine gun (due to being precise with each shot)

you cannot destroy the gem, but around 3,000 damage allows it to be taken off 1st time.


halo, when you fight him on the landing pad he does not have health atall.
turn off all lights via the switches.
you must shoot a RPG at him (which he will catch) then shoot the RPG he is holding to stun him.
your partner needs to hold him while you inject him.




halo, i found some amusing things out, i checked around 10 guides (i checked thier 360 gamertags) and only 1 or so has actually finished the game
so most of them rip off other guides, and it turns into chinese wispers with wrong info on the game.

What's that with these reviews you're talking about? I never noticed that.

I was reading the piggy back published guide. They have all of the information, but no freakin storyline. I saw the giant chap with the guys tied to his waist and wondered what the hell made him.

*SPOILER*
With the wesker fight I was talking about, its the one right before the volcano. He has some health, but the lights will annoy wesker if you shoot them. Shoot the lights out, hide and wesker will go back to the lights. The second one is the volcano fight.

revies?
sorry, having a dumb moment

I hate reviews too, they can be misleading. I also hate the rating system we have. Most parents will buy Fallout 3 or GTA because its rated mature like Halo 3. They instantly assume it has the same content. They don't realize that Fallout 3 had sex and drugs and dismemberment in it.

Spoiler.



halo, he is another bio engineered creature made by unbrella and tricell research, same as the guy from number 4, but with bodies and a beard



halo, shooting the lights does nothing mate, they need to be turned off via the switch
when fighting wesker then, the only way to beat him is by injecting him with the virus, other that that he cant be killed (me and a friend tested this with a gattling gun and RPG, both with infinate ammo)
after 3 hours we gave it up and injected him.

im yet to get into fallout 3
brought it, played it for a few mins then got RE5 lol



i never read reviews on games, i rather try them myself, or ask friends who have played the games

Spoiler






Yeah, I found that out later, but I saw the guy in the uniform and wondered what he was doing there. Was he BSAA or delta or whatever? Thats what I was wondering.

Yeah, you do have to use the syringe from excella. But I do think that it'll finish him if you do enough damage otherwise. Haven't played that part, but how many needles did it take to kill wesker after all of the heavy fire?

BTW I think Irving is a prick.

Spoiler as allways




the military guy?
if so thats josh, a friend of sheva's and the alpha team leader, he helps you out a few times in the game



erm, you only need to inject him once, i can turn off the lights, RPG him, a friend holds him and i inject him in around 1 minute, so it doesent take long and it allways works 1st time.

note: on vet and higher diff's he does break lose when holding him, so make sure you shoot him with an RPG then flashbang him to make sure he stays stunned long enough.

Spoiler


Josh survives till the end methinks. The guy in question has the same type of uniform, but is dead.

Also, has anyone ever noticed that in every single RE game, the helicopter always proves unreliable till the end? Look at the awesome helicopters in RE4 and RE5, they rip up an enemy and then get shot down.

In RE4 the only ganado smart enough to use a RPG survives the helicopter's gatlings and then blows it away.

In horror games, never ever get into a helicopter or fly a helicopter.

HUGE STORYLINE SPOILER




















yes, josh survives to the end, he is the heli pilot that gets you out
there is an alpha and bravo team that got sent there initially (all dead except josh)
if you see a dead team member then there should be an emblem about in that area.


the RPG majini are gak
you can easily run past them, and its even possible to shoot the rocket as it leaves the laucnher
im willing to bet they couldnt hit a large house from 10 foot away (kinda like RPG's on call of duty )

Or the RPGs in real life.

the scary thing is they are pretty dead on, even a child could hit something with one.
which is why i hate doing tours in iraq.
an AK isnt accurate atall at range, and with pretty much no training (or very basic) they arent too much of a threat at a range.
in the game it shows this


one thing that does make me laugh about RE5:

every gun apart from the bow has a laser dot.
now, the RPG has one thats comming out of the rocket 0_o
yet a bow doesent have one lol

The AK is a spray and pray weapon, but all of the RPGs I've seen(mainly through combat videos) seem to corkscrew horribly.

I agree with the whole laser sight thing, have you seen the laser sight on the hydra? It just chills below the barrels tied on with a piece of leather.

They should've stuck with something like the mine-darts in RE4, those were hilarious with a scope.

I just played a few more rounds of Mercenaries and got A-rankings in the first 6 of 8 stages. As it was to be expected, playing Wesker is very satisfiying.

Is there anything special if you get S-rankings?

*SPOILER*






















Yes, you get a cookie.
Edit: Didn't want you to think I was serious so I'll tell ya. There's a SS rank that's above S rank, so you got some work to do.
