Yeah unfortunately. I'm glad cutscenes stop the time. I've played through the various scenarios over 8 times already, and I still stop to watch a lot of the cutscenes.

That sounds pretty awesome. Really looking forward to playing it now.
I finally beat the Tyrant on Leon B hardcore, finally, and then G4 just ... ate me. Somehow the first 2 rocker launcher hits didn't kill the Tyrant, and I stupidly wasted the last one on the zombies at the end, but I had 4 magnum rounds left, so I thought I was safe. I waited for the eye to come out because I remembered reading that it didn't receive damage until it showed up, then fired 4 magnum rounds, 4 shotgun rounds, and expended maybe 150 fuel until it just ... gobbled me up.
How in the hell!? I Would I have been better off firing handgun rounds into the thing? Augughghghgh, I was so close.

Hmm where did you read that? I was able to beat it with just the handgun bullets they give you before the fight and was shooting the entire time
Somewhere buried deep in this thread. : ( I won't make the same mistake again.
If you're already played through both characters games then skipping the cutscenes is fine. Other than the opening sequence and the final 2 cut scenes, the A and B scenarios have the same cinematics for a given character.
But yeah the standard 9mm handguns actually do the most damage to the eye (well apart from the knife which takes two slices even in hardcore).
Look closely at the ammo Capcom gives you in the the wagon before G4.
Pistol ammo and a knife.
well I certainly feel dumb
i was trying to remember like..."uhh...two lines...a fat stack....two L blocks.....biggie over a tiny....skinny stack"
Thanks, I thought I'd start with Léon B anyway, just got to the sewer entrance at 1:03. I'm on track for S right?
lmao same. "Tall boy, skinny one, big block down, big block up"
I also love the impromptu names for the medallion cipher keys that everyone comes up with. "Uuuuh ram's head, happy couple, harp, two fish"

Wow, a suppressed machine gun when playing as Claire doesn't attract lickers! That's a great little detail!
They have an awesome remix of the save room theme that plays in the models screen, but I don't recall hearing it in game...
This is how some guides write it out so it's easier to remember, but I didn't notice the symbols were just shaped around the numbers like that. Pretty cool.
Got all of the achievements, no satisfaction of 100% on steam because there's DLC achievements in there now I can't get yet :( Went through this game 11 times now, I can't believe I just keep playing it over and over
The last one I did was the no item box run. I did Leon A and skipped the matilda stock, magnum upgrades, and the flamethrower. I had to load my save at least 3 times after mindlessly opening the item box. I missed a a place to use the tool somehow so I had it on me until the end of the game

So ... I beat RE2 Hardcore as Leon only using 3 saves, none of the infinite weapons, in 2:25 ... and got A?
I never would have thought those did the "most" damage. Hearing how much damage the knife does, I almost feel like it's cheating. I guess the risk is high enough for that reward.

If it's B scenario you only get 2 hours. A scenario is 2:30.
Oh wow. I should have done my research. B doesn't tend to take me that much less time than A somehow, so I think I'll just be happy with my A and attempt Leon A again for S+ ... someday.
Yeah my times for B and A look so similar that it's almost scary.

You're still going to be solving the same puzzles, grabbing mostly the same items. You get a slight shortcut in the lab, but other than that, the game felt the same to me. In fact, ammo seems more scarce in general, encouraging the player to go look for it. It should almost be S++.
What do you decide to pick up and what do you decide to leave?
I agree, the route looks pretty similar with the exception of the Magnum or SMG being picked up later in A due to needing a key for the
jewel box.
I feel like the extra inventory space is crucical for Leon B especially, given how challenging the Tyrant fight can be (easily the most challenging in the game). Maybe Claire B would be easier. I can see myself avoiding damage in that fight, especially with grenades. I can also see myself having an easier time going without the SMG as opposed to the Magnum ...
I apologize if this has been asked so many turns already but
Is there a marginal difference with how Claire A / Leon B plays out compared to Leon A / Claire B or is the essentially the same routes with just simply swapping the characters (Claire meets Marvin, Leon meets chief, etc)?

It's really a preference thing and which bosses you feel comfortable with. I love that players play the game so differently. I watched a lot of streams of the game and not one single person is picking up the same stuff and doing the exact same route.
Ended up kinda impulse double dipping for Xbox One X.
Platinumed the game on PS4 and still intend to get some S+ Hardcore runs in there, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and 1000/1000 the Xbox version as well.
....... I love this game so much and have a problem.

You're going to need to rush through the nest. Give yourself no more than 12 minutes. Save your grenades if you can. If you haven't fought G2 yet, it might not be possible for you to make it in 2:30.
I arrived at 2:00 and ended up restarting my playthrough, but I'm not a high skill player.
To be exact clock says 1:50 right now. I just got to the nest
That's perfect. You'll be fine. Give yourself about 20 min prior to G3. 15 and you might scrape by.
I have both... enjoy the more stable framerate as well as quiet system :)
Yeah, I LOVED him on my first playthru. Now currently doing LeonB and it's quickly become just freaking annoying.
That being said, it is fun to pay attention to his AI at times. I thought he ALWAYS knew where you were, but that's not the case.
Ah, well to clarify I was playing on PS4 Pro and not the base PS4 -- the wording of my post probably seems to indicate base PS4.
My PS4 Pro and X have similar fan noise at this point -- I just upgraded my PS4 Pro to the latest model, so it's not even a month old yet -- my launch model's VOLUME wasn't an issue but it was whirring at a PITCH that just perfectly seemed to annoy the heck out of me personally, like a perfectly tuned dogwhistle. My Xbox One X is still pretty dang quiet but it has elevated in volume as time has gone on, I think largely because games are starting to push its spec a lot harder than at its launch... But it never gets bothersomely loud.
After playing enough to Platinum the PS4 version and then some, switching to the Xbox One controller is actually a lot tougher than I thought it might be. My entire reflex and deadzone compensation is fine tuned to PS4 atm, lol... But I do slightly prefer the ergonomics of the Xbox One controller. I wish third parties used the rumble triggers more, though -- I really wish they were in RE2 when I fired weapons.
Yeah
Similar situation. I have the lastest CUH PS4Pro and while it's been pretty quiet for most games, RE2 manages to still get the system to put out a high-pitched whir (and this is with a NIDEC fan). Usually I wouldn't care, but the with the very nature of RE'2 soundscape being dead silent at times, it REALLY stands out. My XB1X on the other hand is almost silent, tho it IS a launch unit that I sent back to MS 2 times due to the fan noise. 3rd time I got it back, it was completely silent again, so I don't know if they finally replaced the thermal paste or what. It certainly makes playing RE2 a much more enjoyable experience.
You have to be more conscious of your surroundings. If he's right by you, go into a save room and wait for him to leave, or plot out a route to get away or lure him in circles. One of my favorite things is leading him from the fire escape to the east office, and rushing through then being back in the main hall before he even gets into the east hallway.
I think the Tyrant is great idea and it forces you to adresse danger in a different way. But it's cheap ! Those are repetitive cheap death that just destroy the fun in the game.
I also had the same problem the first time I was playing with Leon A and I got tired of it, then I decided to go for assisted and after that the game was easier, already did Claire B and now I don't see the Tyrant as a problem anymore.
hey guys,
i'm a bit stuck...
i'm trying to get the achievement under Records: Dark Times, Dark Room.
Conditions: Develop all rolls of film. it say completed 4/5. can't find the last roll...

I believe there is 1 roll of film exclusive to your B run with Clair or Leon.
He's honestly not that bad. Keep moving, don't run and try not to shoot stuff and he'll rarely find you. He's actually quite slow when he hasn't directly spotted you yet, so if you can't hear him nearby you can get away with making some noise because it'll take him ages to get to you.
The only really annoying parts are when he chases you through a room with Lickers but the easy solution to that is to kill the Lickers ahead of time.
I was avoiding enemies early in the game and now find myself with a lot of ammo near the game's end. If I go back and kill enemies does that make it easier for my game B playthrough?
