Sometimes when I am just running up the stairs to head back to her locker during the fight, Ashley would shout "Leon where are you going!?" and meet me halfway. I still have no idea if my stick is just too sensitive to clicking it on accident or not. But she never busts out early when I am wildly panicking in a later segment.

I enjoy that walking too close to Ashley yields more or less the same animation as Kiryu slamming into random passers-by while you yell "gently caress OFF, STRAIGHTS" e: oh wow, they're getting more polite, I heard "detras de vosotros" Akratic Method fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Apr 14, 2023 |

I'm 99% sure it's just accidentally clicking by random chance, even if you don't do it most of the time, I don't think there's an indicator for calling her back if you're already in a running or shooting animation. She just showed up to be all "OH HEY, LEON" when I was halfway through that fight the first time around, but I've done it while taking longer and specifically not pressing R3 since then and she stayed in the locker the whole time. e: I can't believe you all missed the chance to shoot off Mendez's hat. What a waste of the hat physics they've been painstakingly working on since these remakes started! Captain Hygiene fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Apr 14, 2023 |

It's funny, I played original RE4, and compared to my experience playing that I thought you might be kinda bad at this, but everyone seems to be having a rough time with the hoards of ganados, so I'm coming around to the idea that actually it's just way harder than the original and you're pretty good at it. Also, I think the fake eye not being a key is my first ever mad-at-the-remakes "Why did they change that?!" moment.

I've only played the demo of the remake, but I'm pretty good at the original and can confirm that yes, the remake is a fair bit harder, especially in situations where you get swarmed. Standard difficulty in the remake is probably harder than Professional in the original for most people; I know it is for me.

I'm a weak little videogame babby who did easy mode on my first run and only played the default difficulty in the original, and playing standard difficulty on my second run through the remake is definitely tougher than that in quite a few places. Getting swarmed really is a big part of it, the mobs are tuned to get in your face a lot more to counter you being much more mobile in combat now. There are other enemies and things that have also been changed in various ways to amp that up, but generally stuff we haven't run into yet here.

It does definitely seem like "lol, knife" is not the One Weird Trick Ganados HATE It that it used to be. I recall clearing swathes of the game with just constant shin-slashing with melee follow-ups. So that's probably a good change for gameplay variety, even if it makes things harder.Section Z posted:Danaru absolutely destroying Mendez so hard MGS2 dogtags flew out of his corpse, while also crushing my soul with the slowest reload speed in the world Yeah, that's true: that was a remarkably good performance on that boss!

Selling knives is the only thing the merchant clearly scams you on. "Ah, a knife that will save you thousands in repairs even if you can only use it twice before it breaks. I will buy it for five dollars." Which comes to mind even more with that jerk who takes like, five stabs and breaks your combat knife in the process even if you go in with a fresh level 3 knife. Suddenly magnum ammo feels real affordable.

He could get a bunch at Goodwill for a fraction of the price if he really needs them for table service or whatever.

Thank you for demonstrating why I wish there was a different shaped context sensitive prompt for "Would you like to activate a shortcut before you leave, smart guy?" in games. While I am daydreaming about functions to keep me from feeling like I am slowly going insane over things I should know by now. Different color paint or something for "Yeah we know you already smashed everything in here, but we put these pity boxes here for the mandatory backtracking." in games.

"I'm trying really hard right now" *shotgun snipes Ashley from across the room*  It's tough to say, but I actually think this room might be easier than the original, which is the setpiece I struggle with the most. It's shorter and there's better checkpointing, anyway. It's also a weird point in my infinite rocket launcher run - enemies flanking from multiple sides makes it easy to get into trouble, and the Protect Ashley sequence is not that well suited for the launcher if you didn't bring along another decent gun.

The better I get at that red robe room, the more I hate it. Because it came with realizations like. The chandelier never hits anyone for me when I tried using it as an opener. Because nobody hangs out under it when I play Shooting most of these explosive barrels as an opener kills one guy at best with my luck. Sneaking even further to backstab the guy next to the red robe, means the red robe jumps over the railing to escape  I am also 90% certain Red robe dude has some kind of super armor if you try to shoot him before the cutscene. Trying to use any of the clever death trap room bullshit just made things worse for me. Compared to only sneaking just enough to kill crossbow jerk, then going crazy with hand grenades and ammo from the balcony. There is a much more cathartic room later, depending on your prepwork. Throwing a single heavy grenade just right the second you enter, will kill all of the red robe's friends.

I hate that red robe priest guy so much, between the screen filter, staggering Leon, and the army of plagas, I think it's the one addition in the remake that I find purely annoying. I kinda want to keep my launcher for every new playthrough just so I can nuke him right from the start.

I'm pretty sure it's been two days in-game, so by now they still wouldn't have anyone who can fix the drat floors. They probably all just plan to become skittering hell spider worms and not use them anymore.

Great, another red guy room  This is one that I feel like highlights the mixed changes to the Ashley mechanics. On the one hand, it's nice that she no longer has a health bar for when e: minor note, but forgot to mention that the shooting gallery gacha results are apparently set for each combination of tokens when you start a new game, save scumming won't work because you'll just get the same ones each time.

Big laugh when you backtracked on the tram and opened that door to find yet another red robe platoon waiting for you. I had the exact same reaction I managed to miss it the first time - I forgot about the treasure, so as soon as I got off the tram in that earlier area I turned around and went back to the merchant because why would I need to backtrack? Also, I've had two complete playthroughs that did not involve instantly nuking everything with rockets, and I had no idea the priests could turn into the chompy plagas.

Fun fact about that bridge room: Cutscenes like that are in-game so if you toss a grenade, flash grenade or bowgun mine up there just before triggering it the guy gets stunned and doesn't lower the bridge. You can grab the head and leave with just a few guys having time to get in your way.
