3 for 3 so far. Let's see if they continue the streak with DMCV.
That's a bummer! It could have been an unlockable after beating the game with both Leon and Claire.
My experience may have been different since I didn't want to waste ammo on him, but once he showed up he was a pretty much a constant threat while inside the PD. Less in A (Claire), more in B (Leon), but not sure what the reason for that was.
I would be able to occasionally lose him, but he'd find me within a couple minutes usually. There are some rooms (outside of saferooms) that he won't go into though.
Yeah, they started out weak this gen but they are end it up with a bang!
It has if you buy the Deluxe edition and play with the original soundtrack lol
Capcom =(
Worse than Mega Man not gliding through the doors in Mega Man 11.
That's a shame. At least I know beforehand so I don't waste literally all my ammo during my first encounter with him.
That sounds like exactly what I want the experience to be like. How does the amount of ammo compare between normal, hardcore, and the demo? Are enemy positions remixed too, like Madhouse?
I was stood stock still in a single room at one point and after about a minute he just marched through the door - I shat myself and ran.
I believe if you get the deluxe soundtrack swap, he's there.
Sounds incredibly annoying. I hope there's a day 1 mod to change his behavior.
This is good lenght, why people are complaining here?
Sounds good. How is the standard mode? Does it get really easy? I'm tempted to start on hardcore.
Platinum trophy will be tricky one for sure.
Not sure if I am happy about that, nemmy was predictable to a degree in RE3 and I still felt like I had time to explore and enjoy the atmosphere.
I don't want to be constantly running from Mr X, I can see that quickly becoming a tiresome burden.
Is the impression that it's almost like "outlast" in the way it has been done? A constant threat stalking you and no way to escape it?
Everything you said makes it sound like the mode I want to try first; found the demo's difficulty way too easy. It's great that it's playable right from the start.
Or DLC!
I'm gonna have to do it myself every time I start the game.
There's less in Hardcore, for sure. It also takes a lot more to down enemies so evasionn is your best option.
I don't believe enemy positions are remixed.
Yeah, he does march and patrol. There's been times where (I play with a headset) I've heard his steps get louder and I've just frozen and he's walked straight past me. Great sense of accomplishment when you evade him completely. Haha.
I admit even when testing FPS and counting resolution and moving around the game slowly. I was never once bothered by Mr X. As in I found him an interesting and at times dangerous addition but one that fit and it never bothered me even if it made some stuff harder
I heard the DLC OSt comes with that as an option or something.
Any confirmation you can put down Mr X temporarily, like in the original and maybe get any bonus items from him ?
I was able to sort of stun him but I never tried to take him down or anything. I basically shot and moved
That's exactly what I was thinking, it sounds a little bit annoying. Especially if you are planning on playing the game over and over again.
I am sure people new to the game might find it thrilling and it will probably work well on twitch streams for jump scares but is it going to contribute to an enjoyable experience over the long term?
That's my worry.
Yeah once I figured out he's pretty easy to outrun he wasn't much of a problem (although sometimes he would corner me in a puzzle). Trickier in hardcore though, especially when trying to sneak past a licker and he just suddenly busts in the room.
I did this in the records room, just hid behind a shelving unit, he came in, looked around, turned and then left. Then I walked out, wasn't sure if he'd gone left or right, gambled on right and ran straight into him. Yelp, scream, retreat, etc.
The soundtrack isn't as striking as the original's, from the sound of it. There's a reason Capcom's being greedy with the SE.
If you have deluxe edition you hear it, since it adds all sounds and the OST from original. It sucks that it's not available on every edition of the game tho.
Walking with a joystick or aiming with a mouse? What's more important?
Debating between PS4 Pro and my gaming PC. I MUCH prefer KB/M for shooters; but I typically like controller for 3rd person character action games.

The "advantage" RE3 had is that they could work with doors as a gate mechanic. So that allowed for the developers to determine when and how Nemesis could show up and follow the player.
Technicall progress create a challenge from RE2. Reviews seems to not be entirely positive about it, and so I think how much people will like Mr. X will change a lot from person to person.
This is how I felt. I admit I liked those random moments ALOT. But thats again probably because he added an element to the game versus an annoyance to me so those things added to my need to plan.
If I absolutely loved RE4 but fucking hate playing horror games (or movies, books etc), do you think I should still give RE2, which sounds like one of the series' peak moments, a fair shake? I feel like the obvious answer to this is "YES" but maybe it's not as clear cut as we all know RE4 was a total pivot from classic RE gameplay.

Alright, not every review under the sun is included currently, but I've been updating it for over an hour so going to break. Will post reviews that others in the topic post for a bit after, but not going to go out of my way to fetch everything now.
