So I'm having a blast on normal difficulty. Hardcore zombies are just too much, there is no sure way to avoid them.
Who is playing on the assisted (easiest) difficulty? I'm thinking of starting the game with the assisted so what is your take?
yes
Holy shit people weren't kidding about Mr. X being relentless.
I'm about three hours into hardcore. I've died several times, but I haven't lost a ton of progress yet. I would definitely say it's a fuck you/nightmare mode more than it is a straight hard mode. It's been manageble, but it's tough, dude. I think I might back down from it. It sounds like I should be on normal and the people struggling on normal should probably be on assisted.Shit, I was going to try Hardcore, starting to think twice now....
No way.
Hail the new king!
That east hallway from the demo, I didn't kill any of the zombies and just ran.Stalled too long on placing barricades and paid the price on that but I cleared the hallway and rectified the situation.
....
- There isn't enough music in the game, espeically in places that warrant it. I've heard the main hall theme and the save room theme exactly once, each time. Why not more? It's not even motifs fading in and out; the majority of the time is spent hearing no music whatsover, unless a zombie appears and it wants to ramp up the tension. Not really a fan of this design decision, especially when the original was so unusually sophisticated for its time.
.....
No way.
Mr. X is super annoying and you have to run away pretty much all the time (even bevore you encounter him). It's starts strong but now...Mr.X keeps ruining it.
*not a console war question*
I played the demo on the One X. It looked great but it was noticeably soft on a large image (projector). I've read on certain reviews that the PS4 pro may not be using whatever graphical treatment causes the softness in the X version.
Can anyone confirm this? I own both so I really just want the best experience for the console versions. Thanks.
Well, I'll play on assisted then.I'm playing on it.
Even on this mode, you can still get overwhelmed and hurt. I've been at caution several times and danger once. Licker's still take a bit to die with the Shotgun.
I'm enjoying myself though.

Well yeah, you're using the pre-order pistol lolI'm playing on hardcore, started with Claire and used Chris's Samurai Edge pistol. 3-5 focused headshots and zombies die for me. People are saying it takes 10-15 shots? nah
ahah yeah I forgot about that haha
there were 2 rooms he didn't bother me, otherwise he was on my ass the whole time. and the rooms he didn't go in, he was basically tap dancing outside of it.How far does one typically need to run to shake him, and does he perpetually stay on the map, or technically disappear until a semi-scripted occurrence later on after a set duration of time/progress?
Can't believe that I'm saying this, but I'm seriously lost in this game. I just reached theHelp?S.T.A.R.S. office and took the battery from Wesker's desk, what should I do next?

Do we have to strategically decide where to place barricades? Any advice on those?
Where I can find the missing part of floor jack?You probably missed a room or two, did you solve the library puzzle?
should I pick the dlc for the original music????Have to agree, only displeasing experience so far for me. Even checked my headphones twice for sound-problems, because I thought there HAD to be music
in certain situations. Strange choices were made...
I'm only an hour in at the min, every time I find some wood I just find the nearest window and board it up. The Samurai edge has made hardcore viable for me. Normal should be cool for you.Hmm... Maybe the Samurai Edge is enough to make normal viable for me over assisted..? Decisions, decisions...
Also, any advice in barricading windows?
Do the Samurai Edge weapons you receive from pre-ordering have infinite ammo? Also, are they available from the start?
I read on Steam that this gun can actually help with Hardcore mode as you go from full health to 'Caution' rather than 'Danger' when this is equipped.
