You can hold off triggering him if you avoid that corridor and get some other stuff done first before you have to go there.Having Mr. X show up first flippin' thing in the 2nd run is a dick move, game.
Finished my Leon run.yeah, okay, how the hell did ada survive?
Start as Claire and I've cleared everything I think except for going west from the main hall but there is a licker there. All I have is this hand gun. Do I just have to gitgud and kill it with it? Am I missing something?
Walk and don't make any noise. Even if it seems like the licker reacts (screeches and jolts) when you get close, just keep walking around. There's no way you can kill it with the handgun.
Is playing on Hardcore for your first play-through advisable? I'm looking for a more survival horror experience and it sounds good on paper but a lot of times these types of difficulties aren't balanced properly.
It's less about challenge and more about wanting to play a game where I have to run away from enemies and conserve resources vs shooting up a bunch of zombies. Seeing that the ink ribbons are only in Hardcore is a bummer. It's really making me want to play on HC my first time. Damn you, RE nostalgiaI'd say no. Hardcore mode is super tough and I feel like it's only doable if you understand the game's mechanics in-and-out. The normal mode provides a good challenge still and never really lets up on that feeling of suspense.

There really needs to be more games like this today.
This game is so damn good. Capcom needs to expand on this with a deeper sequel with more weapons and enemies.
I'd take an RE2 2. Or of course, RE3make.
Every time I think of this game I always think how good the entire thing feels. Just moving the character around feels so smooth and good. One of the best feeling games ever. Add on top how good it was to see door unlock animations, puzzle solve animations, dealing with inventory, examining items again, etc. It was just such a joy to play.
One of the best return to form revivals I've ever seen.
It's seriously amazing. Got me back into the franchise in general after falling off. I want a remake of 3. I want a remake of REmake in this style, because god the mansion is still RE to me.
I appreciated the return to horror in VII but it felt so disconnected from RE (and the "hillbilly horror" thing has never been my cup of tea) that I didn't really get into it. Didn't like the first person perspective either. RE2 remake is basically the perfect RE game to me now and I'd be happy if every one of them were made/remade in its style moving forward.
Yep. The game is amazing. I want all the classic, pre-RE4 RE games to be remade in this style. Even the first one; I want Capcom to remake the remake. Code: Veronica would also tremendously benefit from such a remake, considering how average it is.
I have no idea what I am doing or where I am going in this game. I think I have gotten lost in the police station, and it's slightly frustating.
I have completed RE4, RE5, and RE6 - have enjoyed all games (although RE4 was by far the best game in the series), but I have never felt more lost in a video game. I am also confused why it takes 4/5 headshots to down the zombies this game? Ammo is sparse, yet enemies are also bullet sponges.
Headshots don't do more damage in RE2; you are better off shooting zombies in the kneeds to incapacitate them, then either knife them to death or leave them there to save on ammo. As Badwolf said, if you wait for your reticule to focus before shooting, you get a damage bonus and a critical hit chance bonus. Be sure to do that for every shot.I have no idea what I am doing or where I am going in this game. I think I have gotten lost in the police station, and it's slightly frustating.

For the first part, I actually thought the game was a little too hand-holdy compared to classic RE and told you exactly what you should be doing. It wasn't a huge issue and I understand they wanted to modernize the game and give people a better sense of direction, but I enjoyed wandering around and stumbling upon new ways to progress in the classic series.I have no idea what I am doing or where I am going in this game.

I had so much ammo at the end of my first playthrough on Standard playing like this.
The wiki is bloated with lots of BS included from non game sources that have parts definitely not canon.Any good readings online of the overall story / lore of the series or should I just wiki? Finished up both my Leon/Claire runs and I'm interested in knowing more b/c the Umbrella facility in RE2 seems really tiny.
I really wish the game had a modular difficulty setting, even if it disabled difficulty trophies.
I usually play survival horror/action games on the hardest difficulty assuming it isn't a gimmick (like TEW where you die in one hit to anything) and was doing fine until I died once in the police station due to experimentation with the combat system to try and figure out the mechanics and ended up at the very start of the game 5 cutscenes back.
I want to play with the difficulty of hardcore but have a more generous save system for my first playthrough. Oh well, normal it is.
Well I figured there was at least a save after I started the new chapter or w/eNot sure why you would be experimenting without saving first but supplies in Hardcore were plenty generous overall.
I had more ammo, healing and ribbons than I knew what to do with.
If it's your first playthrough then just have fun in normal, no need to frustrate yourself.
Normal does have adaptive difficulty btw, enemies will get tougher as you play better. You will reach points where they take as much to kill as enemies on hardcore. Kinda like in God Hand.
Well I figured there was at least a save after I started the new chapter or w/e
And by experimenting I mean like trying to figure out how to actually use melee/the knife lol
True Final boss for the 2nd runs toon, different starter gun for each of them(Claire gets the SAA from RE2 secret key, Leon gets the M19 with the gangster aiming style from the extra outfit), save and item spots get changed, enemies are more numerous and tankier overall.Thinking of getting this game. Especially after finding out on HLTB that it's around 8 hours.
Is that for a single playthrough? If so, how important is another run with Claire... is it the same stuff again, or a whole new thing.

Yup, RE 2019 A/B system is lame, if you aren't really feeling it you can stop at the first run even, you won't miss much.Ok cheers. So besides different characters and changes here and there, the missions are the same yeh?
I usually just play a game once, and after that want to move on.

Clinchinig is part of the fun! But if you really want to know:Can someone spoil when Mr. X first shows up? I'm currently in possession of 2 of the 3 medallions and I can't keep clinching forever.
Game is pretty great by the way.
I am a huge baby when it comes to horror games. Especially when I'm being chased by an unkillable enemy. The Regenerator in Dead Space 2 gave me so much anxiety. And it is only in the game for like an hour and a half.Clinchinig is part of the fun! But if you really want to know:Yeah, he' coming soon, assuming you're on the 1st run. While working towards the 3rd medallion you'll have to extinguish the fire from the helicopter that crashed into the station, and he will show up in a hallway shortly thereafter.
1st run? He comes in at the halfway pointCan someone spoil when Mr. X first shows up? I'm currently in possession of 2 of the 3 medallions and I can't keep clinching forever.

Yikes, you're right.Not true, he shows up after you first return to the police station after getting the 3 medallions and defeating the first boss.
Absolutely.if i want to play claire more than leon, should i pick to play claire first?
