[Multiplatform] Resident Evil Homoerotic 'Roid Abuse Edition

Me and Sian are stuck on

Spoiler:

Wesker's evil demon arm phase. I don't get what you're supposed to do...surely you run out of ammo before you can take him out. What's the trick to it?

Any help would be appreciated!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pretty sure the orange things that open up on his back and chest are how you get him to falter and eventually die. I've always just won by shooting those. Worked in every difficulty.

Spoiler:

Unless you mean the beginning of that stage, in which case run away from him toward the breaking rock bridge and continue from there. Sheva goes one way, Chris goes another. You have to shoot at Wesker as Sheva to make him come across to you, then keep running until you get to another breaking rock bridge. Chris in the meantime has to go punch the boulder (I swear I am telling the truth) so that Sheva can come across to him. Then fight him in the raised area in the middle of the island there.

If you didn't mean that part then I feel silly for typing it all out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I did mean that part actually, thanks! I'll give it a go next time we play

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've always ended up running out of ammo doing that.

Spoiler:

I had to get my friend who was playing Chris to run behind Wesker and grab him while I was shooting the weak spot in his chest, after which I would run up to him and hack away at it with my knife in a QTE. Then they double-team him and stab him in both spots. We tried just shooting him for almost an hour before we said fuck it and looked at a youtube video. I felt pretty sad about it...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nice, that part is such a pain. I don't mind the lack of sight either, it does add a little fun and challenge to it. Plus it goes really well with her tribal costume, heh.

Haha, it was a fluke discovery on our part when me and my brother played.

Spoiler:

We were both pretty much out of bullets for the last part, and just kept unloading whatever we had left on his weak spot. When I was stuck with nothing but my knife, I had the crazy idea of just jumping in and knifing him to death, and to my surprise upon striking him it initiated the mentioned QTE. When trying to beat him a second time we had to check out a faq cause we had no idea how actually pulled it off the first time. The actual way is go in for a restrain after the whirlwind attack.

I think the "Masters of Removing" achievement/trophy for the Jill fight some may have not known about either. That was just another wierd discovery on our part, where we corned her while my brother retrained Jill and I removed. And cause we had her pinned we just kept doing it over and over; brother would restrain, I remove, he dodges Jill's counter and goes in for another restrain right after, and so on. It was pretty hilarious, cause it was such a cheap tactic.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd just like to jump in here real quick and express my thoughts:

I don't own a 360 or a PS3 so I haven't actually played the game, but I watched the important scenes from youtube and I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it(was going to play it at a friend's place.).

I just have a general dislike for it, especially the character models(For the old characters.), they're just, unrecognisable and silly.

Looks like it's an all right game, but I won't be buying it.

SPOILER:

The new character model for Jill was really stupid, I couldn't have told it was her, if it weren't for Chris' uttering of her name.

SPOILER2:

And Wesker can't die.

FELIPE NO

Aside for Chris "Rock Solid" Redfield's stupidly large arms, I think the character models are really well done in the game (certainly Sheva). And really, watching the cutscenes from a Resident Evil game is about as good an indicator of quality as judging a film by watching the credits.

Given you don't own a 360 or a PS3 I doubt Capcom will be losing any sleep over your statement that you won't be buying (one has to wonder, if the characters didn't look silly to you, what you would buy it?).

As for your first spoiler:

Spoiler:

Clearly you haven't played any of the games since Resident Evil 3 then, since Jill looks a lot like the way Jill has looked for quite some time now. Take a look at her character model from the REmake: http://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Jill_Valentine. The only real change is that under Wesker's control she became a blonde (guess Wesker likes blondes).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

hey guys i am going to make sweeping judgements on a game i have never played.

Such impertinence , Exo. Stop wasting our time with that nonsense.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

OK, on the topic of hair colour changes, after doing some reading I found the supposed reasoning:

Spoiler:

I assume this comes from Jill's file in RE5, but I'd need to read it to make sure:

Quote:

Wesker discovered an abnormality within Jill's body: a remnant of the t-virus infection from Raccoon City, which had been reactivated by the cryogenic stasis. As the virus disappeared, it left in its place powerful antibodies, which Wesker then used in order to help make the Uroboros less poisonous, thus giving human subjects a better chance of surviving infection. As a result of the antibody extraction, Jill's hair became a light blond (sic) color, and her skin became paler due to etoiliation.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why so they need to come up with silly shit like that to justify different coloured hair? Why couldn't they have just said that Jill fancied changing her hair colour so nipped to Boots and bought some dye one day?

I thnik sometimes the people who write all the backstory guff get a little carried away...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes, Sheva looks really good, that's why I did the whole "(for the old characters.)."
I mean, the game looks splendid, I just think the older characters looks almost unrecognisable.

Quote:

I never... Did question the quality of the game.
But yeah, I watched a good 1~ hours of footage, I got a big chunk of the story.
And.. that's mainly what I don't like about it.

Most likely, if I did I would probably buy it even though my dislike of the story Chris' grotesque muscles.

Spoiler:

I see a vague, really vague resemblance.
And to correct your assumption of me not having played a RE game since RE3, yes I have.
All but the Outbreak ones, and RE2.

I have played it, I just never finished it.
And I never judged it, I'm just saying I've reached the conclusion that I won't be buying it since the bad outweighs the good at the moment.
If I did indeed have a PS3, I would buy it.
Just because it's Resident Evil.



Holy crap guys, I'm uttering dislike of a few things, not damning the thing to hell.
My humble apologies, it shall not happen again.

One way or another you're lying and you're definitely talking shit. You claimed not to have played the game and said it looked bad purely on the basis of the cut scenes, which is fucking retarded. And why would you buy a game you couldn't play just because it was from a series you like? Also idiotic. And I've provided picture evidence of how one character model still looks mostly identical, if you can't see how it's the same you don't want to see it.

Please shut up now.

Yeah, though that is part of what makes the RE game's stories so gloriously stupid that they do keep coming up with backstory to justify the nonsense they put in the game.

Yeah I screwed up big there.
I'll just leave that, since it was a stupid mistake.
I did not play through the game, I didn't even play it much, just felt it out a bit.
Just enough for it feel exactly like RE4.

Also, what?
The only thing I derived from the cut scenes is the story.
Which ultimately took away all my motivation to get the game and play it somewhere that isn't home.

That first sentence is almost illegible, but I take it you mean, "Why I would buy it even though I do not have a console capable of playing it."
Which I already covered, in my first post.

And your picture evidence furthers my opinion, I can't tell them to be the same person.


Didn't want to argue man, not what I was going for.
Sure is uptight in here.

So you'd only play Resident Evil for the story? Oh brother.

As should be painfully clear by now, the story is stupid, but in a fun way (as has been the case with all the Resident Evil games), but more importantly the game itself is a lot of fun. Basing your purchasing decision on some cutscenes you watched on YouTube is downright stupid. Your status as a moron is confirmed right there.

Quote:

You may wish to sit closer to your screen then.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was wondering if anyone else did this exploit in the game(even though it's pointless to do past a point). Essentially I'm sure everyone is aware at this point that if you play with a counterpart online that if they disconnect while in a level they will leave behind a copy of their items on the sheva character.

What me and a friend had been doing is filling his(Sheva's) inventory with nine stacks of five regular grenades, and my inventory with nothing, going into the Marsh level and picking up the two gems at the start, then him disconnect and me taking all the grenades and going back into the menu. This would yield us roughly 11k each time we did it, plus 2k from the gems.

Though, I recently found some golden eggs, which sell for 5k a stack.

Just curious if anyone is abusing the game as much as we are.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm pretty sure a majority of players are abusing the broken parts of this system to keep duplicating items.
Honestly can't say its broken though because obviously capcom would have caught something as simple as this

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Haha, yeah, I was told that if that were mentioned as a bug, they probably wouldn't fix it. So I guess it's understandable that they left it in.

Oh yeah, I was also wondering, for ingame points that you aquire when beating levels. I haven't tried it yet since I haven't been able to play the game with a friend recently(and there's no way in hell I'm playing through solo), but does the amount of points you get differ by difficulty? I know on Normal mode beating a level and getting an "S" ranking supplies you with 1,500 points. Just wondering if beating a level on Veteran or even Professional will yield even more points.

Spoiler:

Though, I am shocked about the QTE with knifing Wesker, now I want to play it immediately.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes. S-rank on Vet gets you 2,000, on Pro it nets you 2,500.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

yeah I know about that duplicate items thing but its kind of a assle to have a friend going in a game and out for only money. If you really want to farm money, you can do the chaper 3-1. There's 12k worth of treasure without a single ennemy to encounter, so you don't waste any ammo and you can find all the treasures in less than 10min.

or if you have a lot of ammo or already have a inf ammo gun, you can do the chapter 5 (don't remember if it's 5-1 or 5-2) and there a corridor with lickers. If you kill them all, you get 5 lion hearts wich is 12,5k worth of money and there's a check point right in that corridor. So you can just quit after you kill them all, do a continue and you are right in front of the licker again. It take less than 5 min to kill them all, pretty easy and quit money.

Yeah, we did think of doing that. Cause yeah, there's easily 12 to 15k worth of gems and such at the beginning of 3-1, as well as the rocketlauncher which you can pawn for 1k each time. But we found that by using the duplicating method, you make more money in less time. Especially with the golden egg in the duplication method, cause essentially you're making 45k everytime you start up the level. If that takes you 3-5 minutes each time, kinda makes it more worth it to do it that way.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Am I the only person who played through the game and mercenaries mode legitimately to get all my weapons and upgrades? It's not even that LONG.

No. I was there with you.

FELIPE NO

oh yeah I see that it give way more, I guess I was looking at it more for solo player.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm still going legit. It's how this game is getting so much replay from me and my brother, we probably gone through the story 5 times now getting things we've missed before. Currently we're working on maxing all the weapons.

Just curious how can you play mercenaries mode illegitimately? The only gain there is the points you use for the bonus features, and unlockable characters for the mode. Both of which take effort, and teamwork, to earn anyway, since I don't know of any exploits for.

Regarding

Spoiler:

Jill being blond and paler, there was info available about it on the monitor on the elevator platform that was lowering you to level where she was supposed to be held in stasis. Not too crazy about the new look, either, she reminds me of Samus now (doesn't help that her suit is kinda blue too).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Totally hot. Playing my second time through now...almost got my first gun completely upgraded (I put a little bit into everything).
