The game is pure greatness.

GOTY 2005 if it was not for Zelda.

Ginkasa · 01-14-2005, 12:30 AM

Oh come on, I'm the resident Zelda fanboy and even I'm not going to call Zelda GOTY before its released (or anyone besides the development team plays it for that matter).

Besides, there is the possibility that it won't be released outside of Japan until '06.

Got the game yesterday... played for 3 hours... and got a nightmare about the lake monster boss, hard as hell... and hell is an understatement (sp?) and those graphics

pure goodness

DeathsHand · 01-14-2005, 04:08 PM

I beated it today... *nods*... 15 or so hours I believe... 73% or so accuracy... Enemies killed... A lot...

I died like 40 something times, which has gotta be the most I've ever died in an RE game... But that's because there were some parts that were just too much trial and error...

And my vote for most annoying cutscene ever (without ruining anything): Knife fight!

I think Dyne asked where I was. Sorry, I missed the post.

Don't read between the lines unless you think you're further than me (5h 45m into the game).

I gotsd a question for you guys...

What weapons are you using? Do you buy the newer model guns (riot gun in place of shotgun, etc) or just stick with the ones you have and upgrade?

I heard people on the IGN forums talking about how much awesomer the newer models are, however up until the very end the only guns I had were:

Punisher Handgun
Plain ol' Shotgun
Plain ol' Rifle

None of which I completely maxed out...

Then right near the end of the game I bought the broken butterfly to make EZ Cheez of the various bosses...

Oh yeah and now that I think back on it, the Resident Evil 4 storyline was way totally dissapointing... IMO the thing the story in this game did best was set up for a sequel...

The story just kinda felt like "Here's some weird random crap, but we'll tease you tidbits of info that make it seem like RE5 will actually tie in to the RE storyline somehow... WELP GAME'S OVER HOPE YA HAD FUN!"

The Duggler · 01-15-2005, 04:26 PM

you don't have the mine thrower, blacktail (handgun) and semi auto riffle? There's a lot more too.

Yeah I know there was a lot more... But I was pressed for space (I actually completely forgot there was a second case upgrade available, so I was running on the first upgrade you can get up until the third became available near the end) and spent more of my money on upgrading my older guns rather than buying new ones and having to spend money upgrading them...

I also didn't know you could combine certain gems with other bits of treasure to up the value of the whole package...

But hey, it worked... I had plenty of handgun bullets up until the time I didn't need my punisher anymore, my shotgun was more than enough to take out mobs of enemies, my rifle of course was awesome (sniping always is) for early boss fights and a bit more, and then the magnum at the end kicked ass...

As I side note, I also got all the bottlecaps... which really wasn't that hard to do... And I annoyed my friend with them...

"Leon, now!... Leon Leon now! L L L L Leon Leon now Leon now!"

Dyne · 01-15-2005, 09:31 PM

Hmm, I've just been upgrading my guns too. However, I think I could sell my upgraded shotgun and buy the Riot Rifle with pockets of change to spare. I think I will.

I got to the ......... (spoilers!)

Castle.

It's really really frustrating for some reason. But maybe it's just because I had Kahlua earlier.

thatmariolover · 01-16-2005, 12:41 AM

Yeah, I'm not sure how far I am. What's the second disc for? Is there a lot more of the game on it? Because I'm still on the first.

I can't remember exactly where it switched, but MOST of the game is on the first disc...

Although it's not as bad as the RE remake where 90% of the game was on disc 1, and only the last laboratory area was on the second...

TheSlyMoogle · 01-18-2005, 09:59 AM

I just got the game yesterday, and just beat the first part of chapter 1 I think. It's pretty freaking hard, but the controls are much nicer.

But aside from the aiming, the controls are exactly the same...

It's amazing what a simple camera angle change can do...

They feel different though. I don't hate moving around, and I'm not getting my ass kicked by a singular zombie because I can't get away fast enough. I'm getting my ass kicked by a hoarde of intelligent zombie/people things. The AI is great in this game!

Dark Samurai · 01-21-2005, 04:21 PM

Just beat the game last night at 1:00 in the morning... pretty easy last boss if you know what to do...
