veni veni veni posted:I think that might be what's going on with me because I crafted Heisenbergs key, then went to the nearby rooms that it unlocked, spotted the other room that it unlocked on the map, which was obviously the critical path, and also tried to make my way back to the merchant, I could find neither and just found myself running in circles while going bone dry on ammo from killing all of the drill guys everywhere Basically once you need to go back to the foundry to make the key you need to backtrack a bit through that red glow corridor, down the stairs to the elevator, opposite of that is the Labyrinth, then you go up for the second horse door. You need to get back down to take the elevator back up,which tripped me up cause you hey turn off the light.

In the foundry you get to the final horse door on B2 you can't progress past without heisenbergs key you take the duke-a-vator back down to B4 and progress through the now dark corridor the exact same way you did the first time and make your ball and heisnberg key. Then you walk out the exact same way you came in but theres some enemies now. Then ride the duke-a-vator back to B2. It takes about a minute. Time to rebeat the game with the 1911, gods own handgun.

I couldn't find the elevator again either lol. I was just stuck in that area with zero landmarks and 20 drillmen. I'm sure it was just some door I was missing but it was driving me bonkers.

Just got done with the story. Have to say, for me the first chapter in Castle Dimitrescu was the absolute high point, and the rest of the game unfortunately never quite manages to get that good again. Villa Beneviento was an atmospheric level, but the way it was placed in the story blunted the horror quite a lot. It was contextualized as just another checkbox to be killed, so it's hard to really feel threatened. It doesn't help that Donna is barely a character, either. Moreau was the weakest part, combining an bland area with a one-note character. Heisenberg was an entertaining antagonist, but the area was brought down by terrible level design of the "gray/brown hallway maze with bulletsponges" variety. Finally, Mother Miranda could've been cool, but her whole deal was dropped on the player so suddenly it had not enough time to breathe. On the whole the game felt pretty disjointed, especially the two middle episodes were so self-contained that they barely contributed to the whole. Basically what I'm saying is give me a standalone Dimitrescu prequel.

The late-game miniboss flamethrowing propeller beast was extremely cool. Reminded me of MGS3 as the fight got more dire, perfect blend of camp action and proper intensity.. I finished with 4 handgun bullets and little else with health in the red. While it's obviously no Doom, they did a fair job making the FPS action work better in this game with their enemy patterns/designs while keeping the tactile feel of the world I liked in 7. The major on-foot encounters the fur beasts, axe giants + head werewolf, propeller man, final boss I generally liked more than 7's, although a couple bosses Lady D dragon, giant robot were more dull.

sigher posted:Maybe Keyboard and Mouse is too much for this game but it doesn't look like there's really any better choice of weapon other than the Sniper Rifle in The Mercenaries; headshots are pretty easy in this game and with enough upgrades your damage output will one-hit mostly everything with a body shot. I start by selling off the pistol and it's ammo at the beginning to just have an OP Sniper Rifle right off the bat. It sucks though because I wish you could just do a quick "sell all" on ammo, but I don't think you can and you start with so much Pistol Ammo it takes so long just to sell it. The achievement is to buy/install all attachments but it doesn’t have to be all in one save. The same applies to unlimited ammo. So what you want to do is save some money, save the game, then buy all the attachments that you can and make a separate save then load back to the first save and buy everything else. For unlimited ammo it’s the same principle. You can fully upgrade a weapon, make a new save, go unlock unlimited ammo for it, then load your previous save before spending all your money and still have unlimited ammo.

Knifing the bosses to death was mad tedious though. Next run is going to be on VoS for the Hardcore/VoS achievements and get the rest of the weapons maxed out but I don't think I'll have enough money from one run in order to do so, which sucks. I know one achievement is to have all weapons maxed out, does that mean in your inventory? Can you even hold them all? Or can I just max something out, sell it to Duke and just keep what I want one me as long as at some point, I owned the weapon maxed out? The trophy/achievement is for having all the upgrades on the guns, and you can sell the guns with the upgrades on them and it will still count.

Starting mercenaries now and the first stages are indeed fun. Looks like they’re also fairly viable with your weapon of choices and abilities are mostly good. It’s somewhat tough to keep a combo alive through the entire area while also looking for stragglers especially those shambling ones that are just laying dead. Getting S rank on these won’t be too bad but I’ve yet to get to the “tough”/bullshit later ones.

I almost got an S-rank by nearing the end of the second level on village. I'm sure combos and time bonuses help a lot too, but SS will probably be possible by just surviving to the end of the latter four stages.

You can probably get to S rank if you combo decently and once you have enough you beeline right for the exit, but to get SS you definitely will have to rely on high combo counts on earlier levels and then surviving later levels while getting some okay combos. Just surviving won’t be enough.

Sooo theoretically the ending could’ve been avoided if Chris left Ethan unconscious in his home instead of transporting him in the same truck with his daughter and the corpse of centuries old morphing god woman even though they loving know a mold creature isn’t dead until it crumbles. The moral of Resident Evil as a series is that everyone makes the poorest decisions possible unless that decision is how to shoot something in the face.

It really can't be understated just how much of a dumbass everyone involved is. I enjoyed how the final stretch of the game is basically Chris constantly going "gently caress gently caress poo poo gently caress I hosed up so bad poo poo gently caress".

It probably didn't really help that the site Chris was having them transported to was likely in spitting distance of the village if not actually in it because he doesn't even have 10 guys to work with.

Yeah on PS5 and this poo poo is not fun! I can consistently get through the first area but the arrow fuckers on the 2nd get me every time. I’d need like the most bullshit luck with abilities just to stand a chance and even the. I don’t see how it happening. Not with this pistol. I’m the trophy only needs S so maybe it’s something you can obtain by bailing on the 2nd and 3rd area immediately when you reach the objective?

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I’d need like the most bullshit luck with abilities just to stand a chance This is one thing I don't really like about Mercenaries; the RNG of the abilities. Some of them are just completely worthless in general, or pointless depending on your loadout and some of them are so OP and beneficial you'd be dumb not taking them but you might not ever be offered them. Anything that boosts the Knife seems to be worthless, even with the unlockable Masamune skill (10x knife damage but all other damage is nerfed) I wasn't doing one hit kills in Village II. Anything that gives HP back or boosts defense doesn't seem to really have any utility. Agility, Lightning Speed, Corpse Combuster, Pistol/Shotgun Master, No Brainer, Breakshot, Execution and All Brawn are just sooo good. It feels like you need the perfect RNG to get perfect loadouts just to stand a chance for the Pistol only levels. They also need to add a timer or something on the combo counter (yeah, I know it subtly flashes a bit faster but that's not noticeable in the heat of action) so you know how soon you have to score your next kill. I will say, memorizing a route, getting it down so you complete the area with a full combo feels pretty good but it feels like there's only one viable route when it comes to getting a full combo which kinda sucks.

I just came super close from an S rank on Village 2. I think I have the route down but I got lucky with a TON of health/survival abilities that allowed me to tank hits that’s would have otherwise killed me. Also buying the Magnum for the 5 big fuckers and final werewolf is a must. All I need is to get a good long combo on the first area then I can just clear the other 2 without worrying too much for combos. (S is all I’m going since that’s what the trophy calls for.m)

I just gave it another try right now, I don't know if you have adaptive triggers on (PS5), but turning it off really helps with pistol spam. I say this as a person who really loves the immersion that adaptive triggers bring, but if mercenaries is gonna go try-hard on me, I had to try something.

Chris is also such a dick for no reason. When he tells you to leave it alone and you're out of your depth you've killed a giant vampire lady and her 3 vampire daughters and numerous werewolves. You have single-handedly achieved more than a town full of people and numerous shady organisations. Ethan Winters is the most competent character in the entire series. I did have a genuine laugh over chainsaw tank though. I love how the series always straight faces the absurdity.. One of the biggest crimes is the deliberate toning down of scares. So much of that setting was made for it but they never really do that much with it. Someone mentioned earlier that the area under the castle and that portion of the game feels cut down and I'm inclined to agree. At times the game is oddly just empty in areas where it doesn't feel like it should be.
