I'm sitting here eating dinner getting flashbacks to that room in chapter 4 with the two blind guys and two of the weakest bozos who rush you and force you to fire your gun and having to take a break and calm down.

Tfw you walk back into the village chiefs bedroom at chapter start :wth:
lol, I did that and forgot that that happened and got quite a start. What was he doing in there, just hanging out writing those memos?

I think the blind guys are just about the best and most horrifying enemy in a game. Nothing else I've encountered really makes me just pause and calm myself. It's awful! It's so good!!

I forget chapter numbers but there's a chapter that ends after you read a letter that's sitting on the village chiefs bed and the next chapter starts outside his bedroom door. If you walk back in he appears and fucks you up in a cutscene

the village chief is the only competent villain in the franchise and the only reason leon doesnt get instantly owned is because he reports to salazar

There really is a crazy amount of detail in this game, I've played it probably a dozen times but find something new every time. I even kind of like the dumb bonus modes you can unlock even though no one ever talks about them.

E: Speaking of the chief's house, did you find the room with the urinal?

the bonus modes are the best part of RE4 IMO. mercenaries changed my life, it's even better in RE5 even though the actual campaign isn't super great

Mercenaries is definitely the best but shines the most when you're playing as HUNK, Krauser or Wesker. Let me do stuff I can't do in the base game like shoot arrows, snap necks, and dragon punch people. Also I wish Wesker's silencer was in the single player campaign, even if there aren't a whole lot of places where it pays to be stealthy.

Sheva controls from the opposite side of the screen because she's left-handed and it can be confusing. In RE 6 you can actually change what side of the screen you're on by clicking in the stick but in 5 you're stuck.

though it's pretty obvious when you play Separate Ways that it was mainly designed to show off how many more enemies the PS2 could have on-screen at once compared to the original Gamecube version, because there are a bunch of places where the game throws a whole bunch of dudes at you all in one big clump like they just fell out of a clown car instead of pacing them out like in the main game

also it's real easy to die in the fight on the battleship without even knowing how you died

Counterpoint: Separate Ways looks really rough compared to the main game if you're on the Wii version and can look at them "side by side". Still fun but you can tell it was made for a PS2.

I'm playing the 360HD version and yeah, Separate ways looks really rough. I played through the first two chapters of separate ways and it got better than the first half of the first one. Been running past a lot of poo poo because I just don't want to deal with a big blob of dudes constantly
