Yeah, I thought the same. This was like "THE MOMENT" in the original but they shifted its direction here. I still liked it but it's one of those moments where I wanted to get the RE2 nostalgia and to my complete surprise it just didn't have it whatsoever.
I'm just a little concerned that their DLC for the game is this episodic content when previous rumors suggested it might've been some randomizer mode to add replayability to the campaign.So have we heard anything about this free DLC stuff that Capcom is working on? The free DLC for VII was pretty meh. Thinking about selling the game after I finish it.
Was hoping I'd not be alone in that desire.
It's pretty good. Won me some of the boss fights when I've ran out of ammo on Hardcore.
After beating the game, why do I have this desire to replay the originals RE1, 2 and 3 all over again? Why is this series so good?
Haha, just found the hidden film in Wesker's desk. I love that they put that in.
Yeah
I absolutely love how the zombies you kill don't disappear. It's so great coming back into a room and remembering how you killed a zombie while looking at its bloody, limbless body. It adds A LOT to the atmosphere.
With the lickers, as long as you aren't running, any walking speed is considered "okay" around them. Even though you can audibly hear the footsteps, it doesn't bother the lickers. They do get alerted and try to "investigate" where you are, but if you just keep moving they leave you alone as long as you don't touch them.
There are about 4 lickers in the game that do by default attack you the moment you see them though as a scripted event. One is coming outside of the kennel (not the two in the kennel), one is after the lady medallion with the C4, and the last two are in the lab. These you cannot sneak past no matter what, and I always save any flame rounds or magnum ammo I have for these encounters in my playthroughs.
Well, I think the fact that it's very challenging for RE2 fans is a triumph, but yeah, I think people are exaggerating its difficulty as well.The no ammo/ heals complaints on hardcore seem to be a bit exaggerated, through to parking lot I used maybe 3 full heals and there's still at least 4 in my box, haven't needed to touch the grenade launcher. Maybe people are trying kill everything?
I agree with this too! REmake 2's soundtrack is great but it's so utterly absent that the original wins by default. A shame, but it is a fantastic soundtrack?Seriously people, just buy the original soundtrack. It literally made the game OBJECTIVELY BETTER, I'm not even joking.
I haven't even played the original RE2 and yet the original soundtrack made it so much more enjoyable it's insane, I literally restarted my playthrough because of how good it is.
It's not just nostalgia factor, it's the difference between no music and great music.
It doesn't matter if you played the original game or not, the old soundtrack made this game objectively better.
Yes I know, fuck Capcom, but are you really gonna ruin the best experience over just 3 dollars?
That's not quite right. At least for me. I'm with you on the licker with the lady-medallion/C4 but the other 3 you don't have to fight.
Claire A:
1. The one outside the kennel. I saw him on the wall but he dashed oversome makeshift barricade and i didn't have to fight him.
2. The two in the lab (from above). You can just run past them and through the door. When you come back they calmed down and you can walk past them as with the others. THey attack you as soon as they can but you don't have to fight them.
Fuck yes it is
Also fuckkkkk me, Claire B gets hard so damn quick, game throws a lot of shit at you really fast
With 4 campains, 2 games modes unlockable and one game mode in free dlc coming in a few months, you are good to go my friendBeen playing this game at a slow pace, just enjoying every moment because i don't want it to end. I miss games like this.
Haha, just found the hidden film in Wesker's desk. I love that they put that in.
I guess so, i didn't even know he did thatI've not played the B scenario yet but did they totally take out the Mr X cutscene of him getting helicopter dropped into the RPD?
Yup, I saw that in my records too that I had one to go and was unsure what I had missed. Should have known.I'm glad you mentioned this because I was at 4/5 films and I'm like the fuck, what am I missing. Will put this on the to-do list on my Leon run
Honestly, now that someone brought up the footsteps being de-accentuated, I might try to import the original footsteps or REmake's footsteps somehow.
You can go back to the station at any point up to the "point of no return" which is
The cable car to the labs
There is a huge difference between playing a game blind, and not.The no ammo/ heals complaints on hardcore seem to be a bit exaggerated, through to parking lot I used maybe 3 full heals and there's still at least 4 in my box, haven't needed to touch the grenade launcher. Maybe people are trying kill everything?
Yep, at least on Leon's run there's an audible cue for this too.
My brain had gone fuzzy by that point too after having abit of a nightmare in the sewers, so I couldn't even remember how to get back.
Yup, I agree. It's pretty much the same game with different cutscenes, few added rooms and one different part. People hyped it up to be something else.
Where the heck do I get back out of the sewers? Want to go back to the police station before hitting the cable car.
Thanks!

I don't know if this is based on the amount of time you spend on the game, or what, but I appreciated that there were corpses that never woke up for me, so I never quite new how safe or dangerous a room would be. It kept me on edge even when the game probably intended for a room to be safe.
I wouldn't mind the original shotgun sound, especially when you fully upgrade it. Blow your speaks out in surround sound.Honestly, now that someone brought up the footsteps being de-accentuated, I might try to import the original footsteps or REmake's footsteps somehow.
Would such a thing even be possible?
