I forgot...can you NOT kill the Verdugo and just wait out the elevator? Because if so:

you can kill him. just freeze him and do damage while hes frozen.

hes one hit kill with the RPG. just buy the RPG for that boss fight if you dont want to waste all your ammo. hes a very tanky boss.

Finished it and started up original RE4 and man so many missing amazing set pieces. Like the Gondolas and the Waterfall. So simple yet memorable. Nothing really sticks out as a cool set piece in the Remake.

Second to Elden Ring I reckon?

Man, this game is something else alright ..

Edit: I'm so close to buying the Red9 for it's power when dealing with the parasite heads. Think I'll wait for when I have some more money so I can upgrade it as well. Kind of need my money for a larger briefcase for one.

Edit 2: Maybe it's because I don't play that many new releases but god damn if this game isn't beautiful. Colour me impressed!

You can find the red9 for free, its in the boat wreck in the middle of the lake :p

No I'm saying I did kill him and blew a ton of ammo... can you just NOT kill him and NOT waste all your ammo? Because the reward sucked and now I have really low ammo.

yes. you can just wait until the elevator gets there. its around 5 minutes. just run around and avoid his attacks.

Unless you're whiffing like half your shots or not looting boxes and such the game gives you enough ammo. Even if you blow through all of it the game will make boxes and enemies drop more supplies.

Unless you're on Professional. Then you kinda need to be good at the game.
 
You only need professional A rank IIRC. Not that this makes things much better though... I plan on getting all the standard trophies + Hardcore + Professional at some point. Prolly won't bother with the specific runs + the ranks.
I was talking about the cat ears, not the Chicago typewriter, because even if you unlock the typewriter you still have to endure a ton of shit and some Ashley sections before you can fully upgrade it.

I typically have accuracy in the 80% ranges. I just have total inventory OCD where if my shit isn't stacked full, I'm constantly worried :messenger_poop:

I’ve seen people on Reddit complaining that they got soft locked because they ran out of ammo on hardcore, and then they blame the game for it. Like how? I’m sorry but if you’re getting soft locked, you fucked up big time lol.

I’m still waiting for new patch for IQ ps5 and dead zone Series X. Hopefully this week or next. I love this game.

I can almost guarantee you it'll be patched the day after I finish the game, whenever that will be. I have a great track record of finishing games, moving on and suddenly badass patches hit.

I'm currently annoyed seeing I'm in possession of some treasure as well as enough gemstones as to fit on those and then some. Problem is I'm lacking the optimal gems and I'm unsure if they're gonna pop up later on or not.

The reconstruction they use on PS5 makes the image much more blurry than the xbox version and also has more shimmering. It looks similar to FSR on PC. Normal TAA looks way cleaner

Seeing I'm not fluent in Sumerian I take it the PS5 version even on Resolution mode is moderately blurry compared to it's XBSX counterpart?

I'm playing on a basic LED 4K display so it's difference would be negligible for me personally no?

The PS5 resolution mode looks worse than xbox in performance mode. It will look a bit blurry for you too just make sure to turn off lens distortion, chromatic abberation, motion blur and depth of field

You'll find more gems and treasure. I wouldn't worry about holding out for most optimal gems except for the 5 slot crown. Maybe the 4 slot as well if you don't have the deluxe edition treasure map.

You'll have a bunch leftover at the end of the game though it is wise to hold on to it for a while.

I finished it yesterday and clapped, what a masterpiece. I like this way more than the OG game. The credit song is fantastic too.
5/5

Loved everything, characters, sound, gameplay, levels.
My favorite part is the Castle > Village > Island (still good)

Shooting range was fun too.

Yes 1 so far. Supposedly there are 3 in the game. It definitely makes your overall health bar go up at least a yellow herb equivalent, and I have seen online posts claiming they make your critical hit % go up and or increase knife damage.

They are really hard to find as they don't really show up until your right infront of them.

I found one on the little offshoot island settlemant at the top of the map where the boy and his grandfather lived.

I sold it for 10 g's at the shopkeeper, just assumed it was another treasure.. what are they for ?

Great. I sold that shit.

I see. Well I've turned off al that stuff anyways. Curious if there's a patch coming.

I do but I fucked up in the starting area. Just started a new game because I'm OCD like that and besides I wasn't that far along as well as gotten warmed up mechanically wise.

Yeah I was feeling that way as well.

Thanks for the responses.

Yeah, you can just kite him around the centre of the room with the crates in it while you wait.
No ammo used at all.

I missed that one. There is one in the Villiage , one in the Castle (which I found) and 1 on the Island I still need during Krauser . If you eat it ,it makes your overall health increase , but won't actually give any health refill. I can't confirm but I've seen online posts claiming better critical damage , maybe knife damage too . I'm sure we will find out sooner or later if true. But at the very least will raise overall health.
Great. I sold that shit.

Don't feel bad I did too . I saved the game just to see what eating it would do then reloaded. But my health bar was already 2/3 maxed out by yellow herbs and still had a bit of the castle plus the island left , so I figured there would still be plenty of yellows left to max out and just sold the Beetle to the merchant.

I'm about to start in an hour or two.

I went with the standard edition because I usually don't go in for deluxe extras. But I have my eye on that treasure map ... is that stuff necessary? It really seems like something you should've been able to unlock in game.

Do I need to treasure map or does it make the game unbalanced?

The extra treasures can be tough to notice without it. They’re high overhead in little lantern looking things that make slight creaking sounds as the move back and forth. Doesn’t change game balance significantly but you’ll get some extra gems and shooting gallery coins.

Oh I entirely misunderstood. I assumed the treasures where only in the game if you paid for the map!

That's way better, thanks for the clarification man.

You can buy the treasure maps for each level in the game with a currency you only get if you do side quests.

Thanks for the replies.

Download is at 90%. Getting excited. Any other tips or guidance? I beat the original many times over several platforms but haven't played in 5+ years.

Parry is your friend. Crouch to avoid grabs. Shoot the head or knee to open up melee specials. Knife specials from behind w/ stealth or stagger prevent second phase plagas outbreak on regular enemies. Repair your knife and increase its durability since it’s breakable this time.

the bonus dlc treasure map does include treasure that can’t be gotten without purchasing it

Any pc players have a trick for launching the game on a non-primary monitor?

It kills me a display monitor option still isn't standard practice.
 
Just hit Chapter 12. Still loving the game, I prefer this to the original BUT I think I'll pick it up on Switch next time it goes on sale and give it a 4th chance!

It's just non-stop and so perfectly paced. What an awesome game and one of the few that I'm 100% going to start play again in the near future.

Yep it simply looks like shit.

Even my wife who doesn't play games sat next to me when I was playing and said why does it not look as good as other current games. The quality looks off lol.. I'm playing it on PS5 in Resolution mode, hair strands off, RT off on 85 inch 120hz VRR TV. I think HDR is a little broken too. Everything else I'm currently playing looks fantastic. It's a bit of a disappointment.

LOL I didn't know you COULD kill him......I thought it was meant to be an unkillable boss so I didn't even try. Once he destroyed all the showers I figured that was the game telling me to just run.
