Yeah unfortunately. I'm glad cutscenes stop the time. I've played through the various scenarios over 8 times already, and I still stop to watch a lot of the cutscenes.
You will love it, because it's a really cool phenomenon in the game. There were many random moments, where the character reacted with the exakt same words as I did, in the same moment. Can't remember when I experienced something like that in other games.
Game is packed with cool little details and features.
I finally beat the Tyrant on Leon B hardcore, finally, and then G4 just ... ate me. Somehow the first 2 rocker launcher hits didn't kill the Tyrant, and I stupidly wasted the last one on the zombies at the end, but I had 4 magnum rounds left, so I thought I was safe. I waited for the eye to come out because I remembered reading that it didn't receive damage until it showed up, then fired 4 magnum rounds, 4 shotgun rounds, and expended maybe 150 fuel until it just ... gobbled me up.
How in the hell!? I Would I have been better off firing handgun rounds into the thing? Augughghghgh, I was so close.
Hmm where did you read that? I was able to beat it with just the handgun bullets they give you before the fight and was shooting the entire time
If you're already played through both characters games then skipping the cutscenes is fine. Other than the opening sequence and the final 2 cut scenes, the A and B scenarios have the same cinematics for a given character.
Somewhere buried deep in this thread. : ( I won't make the same mistake again.
but her fashionable ripped jeans tho
well I certainly feel dumb
If you're on standard then don't worry about skipping cutscenes. The S rank time on standard is very forgiving. If you are on hardcore then you should probably skip cutscenes. While it's still possible to watch them all and get an S rank, it's quite difficult when you just start running the game.
Cutscenes don't count towards your time. They stop the timer as if you were pausing the game.
lmao same. "Tall boy, skinny one, big block down, big block up"well I certainly feel dumb
i was trying to remember like..."uhh...two lines...a fat stack....two L blocks.....biggie over a tiny....skinny stack"
This is how some guides write it out so it's easier to remember, but I didn't notice the symbols were just shaped around the numbers like that. Pretty cool.
But yeah the standard 9mm handguns actually do the most damage to the eye (well apart from the knife which takes two slices even in hardcore).
Look closely at the ammo Capcom gives you in the the wagon before G4.
Pistol ammo and a knife.
So ... I beat RE2 Hardcore as Leon only using 3 saves, none of the infinite weapons, in 2:25 ... and got A?
Oh wow. I should have done my research. B doesn't tend to take me that much less time than A somehow, so I think I'll just be happy with my A and attempt Leon A again for S+ ... someday.
Yeah my times for B and A look so similar that it's almost scary.
You're still going to be solving the same puzzles, grabbing mostly the same items. You get a slight shortcut in the lab, but other than that, the game felt the same to me. In fact, ammo seems more scarce in general, encouraging the player to go look for it. It should almost be S++.
What do you decide to pick up and what do you decide to leave?
I agree, the route looks pretty similar with the exception of the Magnum or SMG being picked up later in A due to needing a key for theI tend to sacrifice a lot of healing items to have room for upcoming key items or defensive items (knife, flash, grenades) cause those stack which is a life saver. My ammo is mostly crafted near the end.jewel box.
I feel like the extra inventory space is crucical for Leon B especially, given how challenging the Tyrant fight can be (easily the most challenging in the game). Maybe Claire B would be easier. I can see myself avoiding damage in that fight, especially with grenades. I can also see myself having an easier time going without the SMG as opposed to the Magnum ...
About to finish sewer with 2 hrs on hardcore Claire A. Possible to finish NEST in 30 min?
To be exact clock says 1:50 right now. I just got to the nestYou're going to need to rush through the nest. Give yourself no more than 12 minutes. Save your grenades if you can. If you haven't fought G2 yet, it might not be possible for you to make it in 2:30.
I arrived at 2:00 and ended up restarting my playthrough, but I'm not a high skill player.
Ended up kinda impulse double dipping for Xbox One X.
Platinumed the game on PS4 and still intend to get some S+ Hardcore runs in there, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and 1000/1000 the Xbox version as well.
....... I love this game so much and have a problem.
I cannot stand the Tyrant no more. This is just ruining the game seriously.
I have both... enjoy the more stable framerate as well as quiet system :)
Ah, well to clarify I was playing on PS4 Pro and not the base PS4 -- the wording of my post probably seems to indicate base PS4.
My PS4 Pro and X have similar fan noise at this point -- I just upgraded my PS4 Pro to the latest model, so it's not even a month old yet -- my launch model's VOLUME wasn't an issue but it was whirring at a PITCH that just perfectly seemed to annoy the heck out of me personally, like a perfectly tuned dogwhistle. My Xbox One X is still pretty dang quiet but it has elevated in volume as time has gone on, I think largely because games are starting to push its spec a lot harder than at its launch... But it never gets bothersomely loud.
After playing enough to Platinum the PS4 version and then some, switching to the Xbox One controller is actually a lot tougher than I thought it might be. My entire reflex and deadzone compensation is fine tuned to PS4 atm, lol... But I do slightly prefer the ergonomics of the Xbox One controller. I wish third parties used the rumble triggers more, though -- I really wish they were in RE2 when I fired weapons.
You have to be more conscious of your surroundings. If he's right by you, go into a save room and wait for him to leave, or plot out a route to get away or lure him in circles. One of my favorite things is leading him from the fire escape to the east office, and rushing through then being back in the main hall before he even gets into the east hallway.Yeah, I LOVED him on my first playthru. Now currently doing LeonB and it's quickly become just freaking annoying.
That being said, it is fun to pay attention to his AI at times. I thought he ALWAYS knew where you were, but that's not the case.

I also had the same problem the first time I was playing with Leon A and I got tired of it, then I decided to go for assisted and after that the game was easier, already did Claire B and now I don't see the Tyrant as a problem anymore.I loved the game right until the Tyrant. F this type of mechanics, now i can't be bothered with the game anymore.
I believe there is 1 roll of film exclusive to your B run with Clair or Leon.hey guys,
i'm a bit stuck...
i'm trying to get the achievement under Records: Dark Times, Dark Room.
Conditions: Develop all rolls of film. it say completed 4/5. can't find the last roll...
