Resident Evil 2 |OT| 1998... I'll never forget it
- Thread starter Kindekuma
- Start date
All signs point to this game being a critical and commercial success, so they would be leaving money on the table.
Also it would mean the entire numbered series is playable on modern consoles, which I think is significant - especially now we have (or expect) backwards compatibility to be a standard going forward.
Does anybody know where the second portable safe is during the B scenerio? I found the one in the linen closet.
Well, this is so disappointing. No reason to collect upgrades then.
This seems false. Lickers spawned in at least two areas where they weren't before the parking garage area, so there was absolutely no way of knowing that certain sections would be a safe route.
Dunno if I'm just used to having all my side pouches but starting 2nd run with Claire is... difficult. Oh man, all my ammo, gone... Bugger :(
Yes! I loved that. Such a clever way to mix things up.
Yup exactly. I thought RE3 remake was a real "I dunno.. maybe" until I saw how well this RE2 remake is tracking commercially. The numbers aren't out yet but all signs point to it being a hit.
I get what you're saying... though I don't really think this remake is the same game, so to me having all the series "numbers" on a platform is triviality. You don't actually have all the games on modern platforms until you have PS1 classics compatibility, imo.
FWIW, if you plan accordingly, you only have to endure him for 10-15 minutes (at least on Claire A) and it's really straightforward.
Basically, do everything you can in the area around the chief's office, in particular get the heart key and the gears. X only appears once you extinguish the chopper fire., and from there it's pretty straight forward:
- go through the waiting room to the main hall.
- go through the western office to get to to operations and move on to the records room where you'll get the tool to use in the library.
- go back the way you came from to the main hall. That's the hardest part, when I took the most damage.
- go through to the library and solve the puzzle.
- access the clock tower. Once you're there, X won't get in, and when you solve the puzzle he'll be gone.

Same thing happened to me while going to the same place. I was so nervous that I shoved a flash grenade into the lickers mouth, shot it and ran away. After reaching the clock tower I was like "Wait what? How did I even think of that"
?
You can unlock stuff.
When you did that it will be in your inventory the next time you start a playthrough.
If you don't want to use the unlocked weapons, just but them in the storage box and ignore them.
But they will always be there.
But there is no NG +. You have to find the inventory expansions again and so on.
BTW the boss fights are total crap in this game. Worst in the series by far.
edit: And this stupid puzzle boss in the
is awful with claire. it's just awful.

I stunned him with fire grenades, thank god I had enough. Everything else didn't work and it would've been luck

Using the sewer key next to the door with the plug that raises the bridge. The shelf at the back of the room moves
It's kind of silly how Blue herb heavy the game is relative to how few opportunities there actually are for poison
It's not just for poison, if you mix all three you get a short damage reduction which is helpful, that has helped in some few situations.
I'm pretty sure any combination with a Blue Herb gives you this perk.
I can't believe it. I did almost everything you mentioned, but I died on my way to the Clock Tower.
Thanks for the tips though! This encouraged me to try again, knowing I was so close to actually make it. Will try again soon.
Yup and it's Mr X free so can explore at your leisure.
Yea, I just did that, that's how I got back to the Underground Facility.
Had no idea you could get back to the Station. However, story wise I don't think it makes sense to go back and explore the Station, considering Ada got re-bard' and is dying and needs Leon's help lol

"Ada needs my help!"
"Oh let me go back to the station for that one locked room!"
"Oh let me go back to the station for that one locked room!"
Yep that's how I did things organically. But I can see if you trigger him early how frustrating it could be.
Playing Leon B there is a similar tactic.
X triggers when you pick up the battery from STARS or even just walk past the door.
You can get all the other medallions without triggering him. Collect basically everything from the RPD apart from the stuff in STARS room. Then when you're ready head there grab everything you need. He will trigger but all you gotta do is run upstairs blow the C4 and grab the last medallion.

Any tips on
shirtless Mr X on the lift. mostly on how to avoid his instakill cuz it gets me every time halp
My friend was over last night, while I had the game paused (and she was kinda drunk), I was cooking.
She accidentally un-paused my game in the Station during Mr.X time.
I was making the potatoes when I started hearing the loud thuds.

So here is something interesting, I have not seen Mr. X hardly any on my second trip through the police station and I think I figured out why. When I got the unicorn medallion (or whatever medallion it was that required the explosives) instead of pushing the bookshelf out of the way and going straight to the library, I took the long way around back to the main hall. I think having the shortcut closed might fuck with his pathing AI a bit.
I thought it was busted in the demo, everything looked very grey, but I tweaked a couple of settings that I already tried in the demo without success and I think HDR looks much better, even though I assume nothing has changed between demo and release. Bit odd. Playing with HDR on anyway, game looks brilliant.
Ok Leon A done and Claire B to go next, then a retro soundtrack + costume Claire A/Leon B after that
I am so glad I did my first playthrough on Hardcore, the constant back and forth struggle for supplies, weighing up the risk vs. reward when exploring for said supplies and the fear of losing an hour+ of progress in doing so makes this game sooo much better
By the end of the game I had a full Handgun with a few left over bullets, a half full Magnum, quarter tank of Fuel and a single F.Aid Spray, the struggle was real.
I haven't done Claire B yet so it may appear there but did they really get rid of the Marshalling Yard and the iconic Tram lift? the one location other than the RPD to be featured in multiple Resident Evil games? pretty much everything else came back except that
Try to Flashbang or grenade him as he winds up. It will stop the attack.

Man, I've been running around with like no ammo for the majority of my run on standard. Although the only times I've died was due to Mr.X encounters and like one zombie encounter, but the stress/ammo has been pretty good for me. Was going to do hardcore but was nudged to do Standard, especially considering this is my first true pre-RE4 Resident Evil experience in terms of level design and puzzles.
That wasnt meant to be dodged. Cancel his attack with grenade or flashbang, or shoot his heart 2-3x in quick burst or just hide behind debris.
Yeah it seems to be the same as the demo, it's just a little tricky to set it up and there is some colour grading that capcom seem to use for different locations, so that's why it's hard to get inky blacks with HDR.
This video is really helpful though.
Have you been to the sewers yet?
The uhhhh, chest bursters swim and explode near you to poison you
Sometimes I think Mr. X teleports. I had him on the east side of the police station knowing he is on my tail then I get to the west side and he pops out of the linen room lol
Mr.X hasn't really been all that much more present on my B playthrough. In fact, i think he gave me more trouble on A.
If you get grabbed by the monsters in the sewer and don't have a knife, grenade or flashbang, they spit on you causing poison.
Man the Mr. X memes and videos are amazing, I've spent hours trying to watch them all lol!
Also this game is fantastic, can't believe Capcom pulled it off this well.

LOL, well it looks like I'm not actually gonna have to use a single blue herb in my current run through.
