Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries is now available [No Wesker & Ada, likely DLC]

Nah, we clearly wanted Umbrella Corps/Resistance/RE:Verse :)
I'd be an absolute whale for that game. I have around 300 hours in re6 for Mercs and probably about the same in rev2 for raid.
It'd be so easy to have both modes too, because Mercs and Raid have the same basic framework. One just relies on characters with preset loadouts and the other is more of an RPG. You could absolutely do both with minimal effort.
Which means Capcom's next failed attempt at a live service game will be a battle royale years too late.
It was easy to get S+ on all stages/characters at least for me but I like that it's an easier way to get the handcannon.
I was thinking of doing a whole other thread about like, having fun stuff locked behind skill/time crunch barriers, I really dislike how RE games do that. I think if you buy the game, and you invest the time to play it the whole way through even on easy, let people have fun and give them access to everything there is to have access to. It's fine to have rewards for people who are very skilled or can speedrun the game, but I don't think they should be interactable things though.

Liked this mode a lot, got S/S+ on every stage. I wish there was more to it tho. More of a progression or more unlocks we could get, etc.
Well. After mercenaries now I definitely need to rebuy the game on steam for the inevitable Krauser mod for the main game. Maybe they can do it without the game crashing now lol
Edit: wrong thread lol

Doesn't matter. This isn't a remaster, it's a remake. The game isn't incomplete because they didn't include the U3 fight. Remake mercs will have more characters and modes in the end than the original.
It's just bitching for the sake of bitching. You got a greatly expanded campaign.
Original RE4 Mercenaries didn't stop at 150 enemies did it? Feels weird when you start running out of dudes to keep your combo going.
Been a while I played original RE4 mercenaries but I think they were infinite till the timer ran out.
There was a limited number of enemies in OG RE4 mercs too, it varied based on the stage.
Village = 124
Castle = 348
Base = 117
Waterworld = 156
Because the original mercs lacked a method to get additional time outside of the pre-place time bonuses (no time extensions for doing melee kills), it would require an incredibly optimised run to actually kill all the enemies in a stage, and as far as I know, no one has legitimately killed every enemy in the Castle Stage (highest scores hover around 305 - 310 last time i checked) because there just isn't enough time.
The 150 enemy limit became a hard rule in RE5 and RE6 Mercs, and RE6's Steam Port added Mercs No Mercy which doubled the enemy count to 300 (and added Left 4 Dead characters as extra mercs). So perceptibly it feels like there are less enemies but in reality, Mayhem Mode and the overall speed of the combat just makes it easier to actually reach the cap.
Been playing a little bit of everyone and I'm starting to get a better idea of how to play with Luis. Still probably the trickiest to get the hang of but big TNT plays end up being worth a lot of points.
HUNK requires almost no thought tbh, just shoot and neck snap until you get it. Krauser is the next easiest.
They did. It was on the 3DS exclusively for some reason.

If you have trouble with Hunk for whatever reason, Krauser is very easy as well. You can basically kill everyone with his knife, crowd control with the bow, and then use the special when you're in a pickle.
Dunno if anybody's said it but Hunk's special (and I'd argue all specials) are best done when your bar is full. It lasts longer and, at least for Hunk, his infinite ammo shots give more points.
I saw someone mentioning this but I don't know where: with the upcoming Death Island film Capcom have a MORAL DUTY to add all those characters to Mercenaries.
Failure to perform means liquidation. Legal and otherwise.

Maybe some day we'll get the follow up to this we rightfully deserve instead of Capcom's next attempt at a PvP RE game.
Yup.
Imagine if they sold Chris, Jill, Rebecca and Claire when the CG movie releases this summer
It's high-key performance art how Capcom insists on dropping one failed attempt of a Resident Evil PVP-MP game after another while Mercs is sitting right there, treated as a bonus DLC at best.
Competitive Coop Mercs plz
Competitive Coop Mercs plz
They must believe that a PvP multiplayer mode is their ticket to infinite money; despite the player base vocally saying they don't want it.
I'm sure we'll see another attempt at a PVP Resident Evil too.
I mentioned this in the main game's OT, but figured I should bring it up here too since that thread is very fast-moving: a channel on Youtube is claiming to have ripped the Mercenaries themes for Wesker and Ada. They sound great to me honestly, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if they're official. Ada's theme even reprises her original RE2 theme in parts, which is a really cool touch.

If they're unofficial, I'd totally play a mod with these tracks regardless (if I had the PC version).

I can see other peoples scores and ranking, but it's not showing where I stand in relation to everyone else : /
