Ganepark32 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Procured this earlier today and gave it an hour or so to get up to the end of 1-2. That thing in 1-2 was a right pain in the backside. For some reason it took me awhile to figure out how to exactly do away with it (try to refrain from spoilers so being very vague with my description of what it was). It's like, I knew what to do just didn't know how to make it stay to do it. Did it though and completed it. Have to say that this, much in the same way as Dead Space, is something you need to play properly and not think about the demo. I didn't like the demo but I'm enjoying this so far, albeit not as much as RE 4 but I've still got a long way to go. Sheva gets in my way too much though . I like to explore a little and although there isn't much to see in the environments, I like to take my time to look around and she always seems to get in the way. A minor annoyance though. Also looks a little better than I thought it was. Wasn't overly keen on the whole Africa setting but it's interesting as it's progressing the RE story. Just wish that the loading screens weren't so quick as it'd be nice to be able to read more than half of the Umbrella history that appears. A strange ask yes but it's interesting learning about Umbrella's history prior to the first game.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I finished it at 6pm and im now halfway through the game again with my mate via co-op. I LOVE THIS GAME
Diageo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I hate Sheva, she's way too stupid for veteran, I like how difficult veteran is because it adds real panic and excitement but she's way to retarded. I decided then to play it on normal alone and then veteran when i have a friend around but it seems i can only have one save file...
... Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 The others are very painful to play nowadays. Good for their time though. RE2 was brilliant back in the day. REmake plays very well on the Gamecube with Type C controls, since R makes you walk ("click" it to run) and you steer with the control stick. I recomend this game to anyone, even today, it's great and the graphics, since they are pre-rendered, still look up to date, even in this day and age.
khilafah Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I am on chapter 3 now. Not gonna play co-op till I clock this on my own. It is a good game but so far it doesnt really feel like resident evil.
... Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 People playing alone, what difficulty are you playing on and how difficult is that difficulty?
Ganepark32 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'm playing on my own on normal setting and it's not too bad. I did die like 5 times near the start at the bit where that truck comes hurtling towards you. No matter where I shot on it, it would always slide and hit me. EVentually did it by just turning around and having my back to the truck and let Sheva take care of it and it worked for some obscure reason.

Chuck Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I've been playing alone on the lowest difficulty. 3 shots to the chest on a regular zombie will down them. 3-5 X blows to a boss will kill them. I did play a chapter with Caris yesterday.
Guest Jordan Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Finished 3-3 last night playing co-op with random people on XBL on normal difficulty. The AI blows so hard that you simply have to play this game on co-op on anything but the easiest difficulty.
S.C.G Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'm playing this on Veteran for my first file, call me mad but I like a challenge. :P
ThePigMarcher Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Picked this up yesterday and only found time to get to (proably mid way) in Chapter 1-2. Playing solo on Normal difficulty. I probably should have played the demo more than twice as I am ashamed to say that I died quite a few times on the Chapter 1-1 until I realised I had more space to move around in than I initially thought. You will probably know what I mean , without the need for spoilers. Looks to have a decent amount of content and I hope to find some quality time today to give this a better look. Will probably give co-op a look after I have completed it at least once.
Ganepark32 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Don't know about anyone else but I feel that the Stun baton is a fantastic addition to your arsenal. Got the achievement for using it earlier which was easy enough. @ Solo - oops. Thought I was supposed to get the driver. *facepalm* Oh well, at least Sheva managed to work it out for me. Probably the most useful she's been so far.

Why oh why did they remove Type C controls for Resident Evil 0?
Aimless Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 People playing alone, what difficulty are you playing on and how difficult is that difficulty? I played it through on Veteran first time, and I'd suggest you don't. It's nicely challenging for the most part, but there were one or two bits which were rather frustrating without the aid of a human partner. Sheva's AI isn't terrible, but as you don't have much control over her actions it's near impossible to use actual teamwork during regular play; there are certain situations where you need to get behind an enemy which would be immeasurably easier if playing with someone else. Also you carry your equipment into new games of different difficulties, so if you wanted to give Veteran a try after playing through on Normal at least you'd have a good selection of weapons to choose from.
Cookyman Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Just played some co-op with MATtheHAT - twas awesome. I've only been playing the game co-op so far and it's brill especially using headests - we had a right laugh.
... Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Got to agree with this man. Why oh why did they remove Type C controls for Resident Evil 0? Yeah, that's why I never bought 0. Also you carry your equipment into new games of different difficulties, so if you wanted to give Veteran a try after playing through on Normal at least you'd have a good selection of weapons to choose from. Well there's something you couldn't do on RE4. If you finished on Normal, you could only replay with the previously gathered inventory on Normal . For Professional, you had to start from scratch.
MATtheHAT Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Just played some co-op with MATtheHAT - twas awesome. I've only been playing the game co-op so far and it's brill especially using headests - we had a right laugh. I completed it last night on my own, but this game is so much better when playing it with another human player. Especially if you both have mics. And Cooky fancied my alt costume Sheva
Deathjam Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 It is soooo much fun playing with someone else. Problem is, you have to wait for said person to be online at same time. Also, home launching is fun, but a little fiddly.
Cookyman Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 And Cooky fancied my alt costume Sheva She's a dirty bitch! It is soooo much fun playing with someone else. Problem is, you have to wait for said person to be online at same time. Also, home launching is fun, but a little fiddly. The newly created online meet up thread should help with that mate.
Deathjam Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 She's a dirty bitch! The newly created online meet up thread should help with that mate. True but you cant have multiple saves and my mate will treat me as if I cheated on him if I play through resi 5 with someone else. It's his first time...with the resident evil series that is.

... Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Shit, that whole "only one save slot" is lame. First time I saw it was in Gears of War 1 and Epic fixed that for the sequel, GeOW 2 having 3 save slots. Now Capcom wants to make RE so badly into GeOW that they only include one save slot for RE5, when RE4 had 20?? What a backwards company they fucking are.
Dante Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Capcom also remove adding things to your treasures in this game.
