Picked this up for $20 and am playing it on my Pro. Only dabbled slightly into RE4 in the past. This game is fucking amazing.

Did the canon/catapult sequence annoy the ever living shit out of anyone else? So frustrating. I am going for a 100% on this game but that sequence has me doubting whether I want to do more than one play through.

That sequence is a walk in the park compared to the bug room.

Bug room? Do you mean the room in the castle that was big and had some flying bugs? I didn’t have an issue there. I had to restart a ton on the catapult sequence because they kept obliterating poor Ashley. Felt like it was beyond my control.

Also I finished it last night. Stellar game.

Neither of them are particularly rough. You just have to take out 4 easy barrels for the catapults. The bugs, even on hardcore, were a joke compared to OG RE4. They die in like 2 handgun shots.

Worst room is still the water room, just like OG RE4. That or the room with the 4-5 regeneradors (if you let things go stupid).

Catapults are basically a game of "green light, red light" mixed with "hit the target" whereas the bug room is absolutely random. The remake's water room is a lot easier as there is a safe place to camp by the drop down stairway unlike the original. The problem with the bugs is that they actively engage throws and do fly-by slashes everywhere whereas it is easy to run around the regenerators.

P.S. Before I acquired the sunglasses for Ashley the sewer room with drop down bridge that has enemies rush Ashley once the key item is acquired while a Regenerator awakens nearby was the most annoying. When she has sunglasses the flashbangs give enough time to make it over the bridge before enemies reach her and the regenerator is stuck on the other side of the bridge.

Finished up the no heal run today to get the plat. What an amazing game. I think it’ll easily go into my top 3. Don’t think I care to go on and play any of the others though.
