Ha, I have been the opposite since RE4.
You always find more SMG ammo so I use it as my main for headshots and such, while the handguns I use for bigger enemies.
A lot of the time I give Sheva a rifle because I don't like to use them at all.

Other than playing as a "Chris Redfield" again, I agree.

I had a chance to get this and I decided not to. I already have the platinum on PS4 and while I like the DLC. I don't plan on going for all the DLC trophies anyway.
Definitely a good deal for anyone that got in on it though.

Personally I hope we see neither of those mechanics again lol.
They really hampered my enjoyment of that DLC.
Really? The way they were implemented seemed barely a step above being scripted. It was basically a locked door that you bypass with something other than a key.
OP

That's why I didn't like them. They were very tacked on IMO and at this point I'd just rather not deal with them again. Can't inagine how you'd make either of those scenarios much better.

Boah, Revelations 2 might be the biggest pile of dog poo I've played in a while. It's like they went out of their way to include as many shitty game design turds as possible.
Twitchy enemies with little to no hit stun reaction
Invisible enemies that force you to rely on a barely working AI
Random exploding shit you get no context for
Install death traps
By far my least favourite RE campaign. God damn what a letdown.

If they just pictures use custom theme?
As for pitch black, Operation Raccoon City DLC did it really well, though you did get flares it was mostly blackness with zombies just barely visible if close enough.

Yeah just pictures (One on top and one on borrom) and a different song on each. The twitter link has a youtube playlist of them all below it.

Can anyone tell me what the Score/Grade boundaries are on the RE5 MercenariesnNo Mercy PS4?
I have just been playing my arse off and getting over 200,000 isn't even an S, it is insane.

So I finally played a few hours of RE7.
It's pretty much what I wanted RE to be for a long time -- go back to the structure of RE1 but just update the controls and interface. This really does feel like a modernized RE1 so far, though I don't know about all the hide-and-seek elements. It doesn't need to be Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
I'm also shocked at how sort of low-key the presentation is. It doesn't insist upon itself the way earlier RE games did. There was a feeling that from RE5 onward the franchise got into this kind of big budget territory where it insisted upon itself. By the time you got to Revelations and they were writing the dialogue in Japanese, RE was fast approaching anime territory. Maybe what happened with RE6 taught Capcom a lesson and it reeled back big time with RE7. You don't even see the title until you've played for a while, the story is straightforward so far, there's just not much in the way of the game itself. It feels like a AAA game with the heart of a lower-budget game.
Oh, and this game looks insane for how smoothly it runs. Photogrammetry is a motherfucker.

I've finally finished "End of Zoe" and... yeah, if I had to wait almost a year and paid $15 for that, I would be dissapointed. Punching monsters in the face was fun in the beginning, but that's basically what the whole DLC is - you go around on a linear path and punch enemies in the face (or throw a spear once in a while). No puzzles, no compelling story, no exploration; just one gimmick (with a slight twist near the end) repeated throughout the whole scenario. And again, limited view offered by first person perspective was really irritating when most of the time you had to melee enemies.
Also, fuck alligators with their insta-kill attacks and fuck those crawling Molded that were so hard to punch :/
Out of the two, I liked Not A Hero more. It had more variety, it had some interesting story bits (Chris, Umbrella Blue, Lucas' demise) and was simply more fun to play.

How could Jack survive the syringe injection and still mutate after that?
Bought Gold for PS4 and its my first time with this game. Better even since I own a PS VR since last BF. Decent deal because i got it for relatively cheap and has all SP content on the disc.
This is a return to form, at least until the part i'm at (Old house), I do know that there is a weaker section further along. Not a Hero and End of Zoe, do sound sort of conflicting. Will tackle them after the main game obviously.
As for RE5 Remaster, I really, really liked it. They kind of updated the AI too wasn't it? Still annoying to deal with but the fact I could play it at 60fps was great. Still my fave Mercs mode and the 2 DLC chapters were awesome online co-op experiences. Game looks sort of current-gen still. MT Framework is a beast.

Yeah, the last two major locations are more straightforward, with less puzzles (I don't remember if there were any puzzles tbh) and more guns/enemies. However, they aren't as bad as I thought reading all the impressions. They are simply more action-focused, like most last locations in previous RE games.
NaH and EoZ are pure action DLC. While NaH still pretends it has some exploration and slight puzzles here and there, EoZ is just you punching enemies all the way to the end. They both have their charm, but are much different than the main scenario.

All my times playing RE5 and I've never played as Sheva and ordered Chris to use the flamethrower...
"Flame on asshole"
LOL

I liked both the new DLCs. It's amazing how just a punch makes the combat less tedious
Normal molded in RE7 is headshot, head-weave, charge, headshot. If RNG is unkind, you will repeat this many times, even on easy or with a shotgun. Just gets so tedious. I love RE7 (just played through it again to clean up collectibles), but combat is definitely the worst part. The thing is, I like making shots count, and even the slow, deliberate nature of RE7 combat, but fatigue sets in and the more "powerful" weapons (flamer and grenade launcher) are just whatever. Weapons in general feel unsubstantial, they don't sound good, shotgunning a
trash enemy in the face feels bad when it can feel so ineffective even at close range. I love RE5 for this reason. Everything just feels weighty and substantial
End of Zoe felt good for this reason, especially the power punch thing.
I loved RE7's exploration. While I personally prefer third-person, I did like the story and mystery of RE7. If they did another FPS that gives more thought to combat (it can even be slow paced, it just needs to feel better and less spongy), maybe I'd be OK with it.
My only big complaint is that they don't extend the storyline much, or tease RE8. Or even tell us who Ethan was, since like, he isn't just some regular guy. I remember early on there was the thought that melee and other tactics were out because Ethan is no specs ops person, just an average joe looking for his wife. I thought about tagging spoiler tagging that, but Ethan is clearly not an average person, we see this at the game's beginning. These were supposed to tie up a bunch of stuff... I don't feel that happened.

Even as someone who LOVES the DLC, it isn't worth $15 bucks stand-alone. Just wait for the season pass to go on sale (I hope you didn't buy the banned tapes solo)
Gotta save that for the RE5 PS5/XB2 port.
Though taking that on a serious note. They will have to put more effort into the next series of RE ports of 4-6. Just being 4K isn't gonna be enough. ESPECIALLY for RE4. That'll need bare minimum something like the hd mod applied to it.
STARS Jill in Mercenaries is a must if they add some new port incentives.
Honestly though there is a lot of stuff they could add to 5&6 at least if they needed or wanted to.
damn never knew Chris had a flamethrower. i need to stick back in re5 and play it again.
The flamethrower is on the wall in the Uroboros bossfight in the lab.
it really should have been a special unlockable weapon like the minigun and bow.
I think i'm closing in on the end of 7. Its one of the better ones imo. RE7 is extremely immersive thanks to the FP. I also like the weapons myself, though the nade launcher feels underpowered. Its just that the molded enemies are boring. I prefer zombies, dogs, lickers etc.
Played a share in VR, pretty good but got a bit nausea after an hour. Did use smooth loco. I just love how it looks in 4k HDR and its smoother. Might do a full VR run next. VR has a long way to go still, for example no significant downgrade in looks. Its quite a step back from 4k.
I'm liking the final areas too. They're worse but I was also sort of done with backtracking and puzzling. I think every RE switches gears for a reason.

Between the Banned Footage, Not a Hero and End of Zoe, are any of the RE7 DLCs not action based? My favorite parts of the game were the first few hours where you were pretty much helpless, and the puzzle sections.
OP
OP
Daughters, 21, and the one where you're stuck in the room aren't action. I guess basically the banned footage are the "horror" DLCs besides Jack Birthday and Survival
Banned Footage vol. 1 contains:
- Bedroom - puzzle-focused
- Nightmare - action-focused
- Ethan Must Die - action-focused
Banned Footage vol. 2 contains:
- 21 - a card game (blackjack with perk cards; really fun)
- Daughters - story/puzzle-focused
- Jack's 55th Birthday - a mini-game where you have to memorize what items are where and balance your inventory to minimize backtracking (you want to bring Jack as much food as possible while fighting off enemies)
- Not a Hero - action-focused with some slight puzzles
- End of Zoe - action-focused
So you probably would only be interested in Bedroom (BF1) and Daughters (BF2).
I beat the main game. Final part wasn't bad. In fact, I was happy I could finally waste my tons of ammo. And I even left the bombs and machine gun behind. I went ham on all enemies there, still finished with more than 30 shotgun shells. I enjoyed the combat in this, you have to judge your shots. I invested a lot in buffed handgun ammo and that had a nice sound to it plus it insta headshotted a lot of molded. I didn't manage to get the magnum, I got the 2 upgrades first. But I didn't need it at all.
That flamethrower boss either took me an hour or mere minutes. I still don't know the catch there. You flame him, you shoot his tumors. But I did that for ages and nothing. Sometimes he did die. Best solution was saving up an RPG.
OP
OP
Yeah that boss is odd. I always just save the RPG from the ship and use it on him so it's an instant kill.
I don't fuck with like any bosses in RE5 at this point lol. Putting that Rocket Launcher on the boat lets you save so much time on them.
Just out of curiosity are there any opinions in here on which of the three CG RE films is the best one?
I've seen Degeneration and Vendetta, and I'm about to watch Damnation.
I've seen Degeneration and Vendetta, and I'm about to watch Damnation.
Damnation is technically the best,
Chris & Rebecca make Vendetta the best though.
I love Degeneration, but objectively it's the worst of the three. The airport location was kind of wasted, Leon has no personality (or facial animations) and Claire was left out of the action climax, but she was so fun in the movie I can't help but like it. The slap scene is my favorite moment. I miss Alyson Court.
Damnation was an improvement in almost every way, but I don't care for it very much. There are some nice moments but the plot is nothing special and there's only one character I like which is the ex-teacher. I forgot his name lol. I like the scene between Ada and the president. Leon is back to having a personality, having lots of one-liners.
Vendetta was cool and my personal favorite. Rebecca and Chris were awesome in the movie (though I wish Rebecca had more action scenes) but Leon's personality changed again. Now he's acting like Chris in RE6. I like the villain and his motivations and there are some cool action scenes.
Glad I waited on my 3rd dip on REV1,
had about $8 credit on psn for months, REV1 is currently on sell for $13.

I have to say going back through RE7 campaign I've really got a new fond appreciation with how nicely paced the scenario is. The DLC helped compliment some more of the details going through and how if anything this game sets a few teases of where 8 could go.
I need to go through Not a hero on a higher difficulty next. I am really fond of that little side story.

I'm in the same boat, really disappointed in Not a Hero. I wonder what the original idea for NAH plot was before they started again which caused the delay
