yeah so i just got 415000 on Public Assembly with some random guy. I used battle suit Jill. Still, that’s something like 1500th place on the leaderboards.
Damn, you guys need Midnight Wesker’s cobra strikes :wgrin:
Is there a trick to mercenaries mode? I’m having trouble getting past 40K on most levels. There are so many decisions that you have to string together quickly that my mind gets flogged.
I don’t get these idiot randoms that ignore the time bonuses and immediately grab the combo time right off the bat.
Hmmm, I’m available for some RE5 Mercs. I SS’d a couple of stages with STARS Wesker Duo.
360
Take your time running around the stage to find all the time and then also stock up on nades. Keep your combo’s going.
Killed my first cockroach this morning, unfortunately it took me about 3 restarts but I nailed him with my magnum and he went down, as said. It’ll be a while until I get brave enough to try shooting off all the limbs, but I noticed you can shoot the head off too and it’ll still come for you.
^yea, try that on professional…
negro edit:
I was just think when I saw the commercial for the game then turned to 60 Minutes last sunday, this game is really missing Lions, Elephants, and Gorillas…
I rather fight a Lion than the hyena on veteran…which actually scared the fuck out of when I first saw that damn thing.
Got my first SS rank with STARS Wesker at public assembly :rock:
Am I crazy or are the really gruesome, violent death scenes missing from the game? RE4 had all sorts of extra shit like Leon’s face being melted off, head and chest impaled, decapitations, etc. and I haven’t really noticed these in RE5. Had my head and Shiva’s head sawed off once but that’s about it.
Yeah I miss the gory deaths in RE4. This game feels more bland and kid-friendly
Yeah, I feel that too. I didn’t see many deaths until pro mode obviously(with the exception of the first encounter with a reaper:sweat:) and I think the partner resuscitate system pretty much destroys the concept of custom death sequences.
However, there are actually cool deaths if you fail QTEs. Try not shooting Wesker when Chris guns for the plane hatch, for example. 
Yeah, the only special deaths I know of (outside of QTEs) are:
- multi-impale from a Reaper
- villagers axing/knifing the crap out of you if you die during the onslaught section of Chapter 1-1
- head lopped off by Chainsaw Majini
It doesn’t even show your head actually being lopped off though, not like in RE4
Sorry we never got to play last night Epi, catching up on my giant pile of coimc trade paperbacks.
Yeah. RE5 is definitely toned-down compared to RE4.
By comparison, RE4 had like 25 different unique deaths. There is a video on YouTube of all of them and it is like 8 minutes long. I’m pretty sure the old REs had more too. At least when a Hunter or Licker decapitated your character, you actually got to see the head come off then.
The Duvalia enemy can bite you in half if you get too close.
If lickers pounce on you due to missing the counter attack, they’ll impale you. The bastards stop, look at their claws (as close as they can come to looking, i guess), then stab the shit out of you. I’ve seen this plenty of times in mercs. :wasted:
edit: slaps self It involves a qte, so I guess it doesn’t count.
Fuck them, though.
Nah I would count that. It’s not an entire interactive movie sequence, it’s just a chance to dodge mid-game. I had just never seen that one.
Yea, in past RE games they really made you feel bad for failing, especially RE4. I missed that in this one. They toned this down something ridiculous. :tdown:
Heh, I remember getting my head crushed in by a bandersnatch in Cvx. Made me give the sad face. 
Edit: Oh, why did they do that with the DMC series too? In DMC1, you could die in really horrible ways. They nixed it in the rest of them.
