Resident Evil 5 -Gen. Discussion - Lost In Nightmares & Desperate Esacpe DLC Out Now!

[quote name='Mojimbo']Anyone know how to get infinite ammo for either of the magnums?[/quote]

Don't you just have to fully upgrade the weapon to unlock the option for unlimited ammo in the bonus features? That's how it's been for the 3 weapons that I've unlocked so far.
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']I'll try that out, thanks. I don't even think I've wandered into that menu yet.[/quote]

You do need to have enough points as you have to "purchase" the option. Completing certain tasks and finding the BSSA emblems give you points. Don't waste you points on purchasing the figures the first go around...that's what I did and I'm unable to afford the unlimited ammo option as of now :whistle2:(
 
I don't remember BSAA emblems giving you points towards purchasing bonus features.

As far as I know, you get points dependent upon your rank for each chapter as well as Mercenaries mode. Playing on professional and S ranking missions gives you the most points, obviously. Getting an SS rank in Mercenaries nets you 5,000 points.
 
Picked up my CE from gamestop today, no necklace, was told several people from the midnight launch had the same problem. They told me to call capcom. Either capcom shipped some of the Ce's without the necklace, or some GS employee is taking all the metal necklaces (My game was sealed and didnt look opened.)
 
Thanks for the info. So who wants to play some co-op on the 360 version this weekend? ;)

[quote name='zewone']Graphically, yes.

360 runs at 4xAA, while the PS3 runs at QAA which is similar to 2xAA. 4xAA being better.

360 version stays locked at 30FPS, while the PS3 version will drop and stay in the 20-30FPS range.

PS3 version also doesn't do some of the effects as well. Such as smoke, water reflections, heat haze, etc.

PS3:

Hah, I will never pre-order from gamestop again. Everytime they come up with some lame, fuck excuse as to why you're not getting your bonus for pre-ordering.

What's the point when you can just walk into BB the day it comes out, and pick it up with no hassle?
 
I wish a future DLC would expand on the story more instead of offering multi player modes.

Here is what I would like to see:


WARNING DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE GAME. MASSIVE SPOILERS

-A Chapter that you get to play as Chris and Jill from the flash back when they are invading the Spencer mansion to confront Wesker

-A Chapter that you get to play as DeChant's team before getting wiped out, and play with Josh Stone's team, and see what happened to them.

-A Jill mission that shows what she did as bird lady. Like maybe the Majini also tried to kill her, and she has to work her way around them.

-A extended ending with a Epilogue Chapter. Enemies don't have to appear, just more like walking around like when you arrived in Africa for Chapter 1-1. Maybe show them returning to the BSAA base, and expand more on some of the story.

However the current ending is pretty satisfying in that it could serve as an end to the franchise, but I want more Resident Evil, and an extended ending that would show something for Resident Evil 6 would be cool.

Then besides more Single Player DLC, it would be nice to get more characters for the mercenaries and verus modes. (Leon, Ada, Rebecca, Clarie, Hunk, Krauser, Barry etc)

Actually he's talking about the necklace that's supposed to be sealed in the CE box (which is REALLY tiny BTW.) This is more of a situation like what happened with the Fable 2 LE's shipped to Gamestop not having the Hal codes.

Awesome choices dude...I'd love all of that.

[quote name='LinkinPrime']So you're comfortable spending money on skins that do nothing, but change the visuals, but when new gameplay elements are sold as DLC, that's where you draw the line :whistle2:s?[/quote]

Here's the thing. I got the Brawler code free with the CE, saw it was just an unlock code, was pissed off. I'm a horny 30-year old single male so I got the Femme Fatale pack, and decided I would not get any more DLC for SF4 because it was just unlock codes for content already on the disc.

Now this news comes out and I will vote with my wallet and not buy the RE 5 DLC, and hope Capcom pulls an Ubisoft and eventually make it free, like Ubisoft did the Rainbow 6 Vegas 1 map packs free on 360 after the PS3 version had them on the disc. Different situation, but I hope outrage on the consumers part makes it the same result.

If no one has done it yet, I'm going to make a post about it on Capcom Unity when I get home.

:lol: That's honest.

If it makes you feel better, or makes more sense, Capcom had the following to say:

Capcom recently braved the slings and arrows of their incensed fanbase to defend the five-dollar update -- they claim that the price covers development of the new features which go "above and beyond the initial scope" of the game, as well as bandwidth costs associated with implementing additional online multiplayer offerings.

Capcom explained the "Versus" pack, which will bring four-player co-op and competitive online modes to the game within "a few weeks," isn't just an unlock patch for content already included on the RE5 disc -- despite the fact that it's composed entirely of assets from the core game.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/13/capcom-defends-charging-for-resident-evil-5-versus-dlc/

The way I see it, it's only $5...and not even that...much less since I usually spend $15 or less on 1600pts, and I want to play more RE5.
 
Yeah I have gotten a lot of my points for free, but I still refused to pay extra money for content. "above and beyond the initial scope" lol nickle and dime, that why I still respect Value so much for years nothing but FREE content filled update for many of there games. Maybe I was spoiled for too long being a PC gamer, But I have never and probably will never pay for extra content.
 
I do have to ask, though...

Is $5 *really* that big of an expense to some folks out there? I mean, grown adults are complaining about this as if they have to take a loan from their banks for $5.

Considering how good Capcom has been treating us all with Mega Man 9, Bionic Commando Re-Armed, Street Fighter IV and now Resident Evil 5, don't you think they *at least* deserve an extra $5 for extra content?

I could understand being pissed over dishing out $90 on the tiny as hell extras included with the CE. But this is just $5 for additional content to make the game last longer.
 
Is anyone suffering a long load time after beating the chainsaw dude in chapter 2-1? Im playing with a friend and it doesnt want to load after I beat him and try to go through the door.

I guess it's the principle of the thing...I don't really feel comfortable with what they're doing if in fact it is on the disk, but I agree that $5 isn't that big of a deal.

Now if you take in account the whole price as a game...instead of paying $60 for a new game, you end up paying $65...would you be happy paying $65 for a game that's normally $60? Nope...but I'm still buying it...which makes them continue to pull this crap...it's a vicious cycle. Unless everyone boycotted and stopped purchasing "unlock keys"...this will continue.

[quote name='JokerCard']Is anyone suffering a long load time after beating the chainsaw dude in chapter 2-1? Im playing with a friend and it doesnt want to load after I beat him and try to go through the door.[/quote]

I think someone mentioned a similar problem a page or so back and installing to the HDD helped.
 
Its more to me then just the money yes 5$ inst much and I stated many of my point were obtained for free. Buying content that is unlocked or already on the disc, tells a developer/publisher that they can nickle and dime (screw) the customer, its a good play for them in fact its economic 101. another think that pissing me off is the comment, "above and beyond the initial scope" lol I work in the game industry, and I can bet you anything this DLC was thought of at the very being. but then again its my own personal fight against the Man not to buy it.

$5 isn't really much to me for content, regardless if it's in the game's coding or not.

It's not like they're charging you $10 for additional levels (looking at you Halo 3) or to unlock different characters. Hell, they're not charging you for alternate outfits. I'd say paying for actual playable content at a cheap price is far better than paying for meaningless content that has no real affect on the game.

Like I said, $5 for additional playable content isn't really worth complaining about. If Capcom charged you to download weapons, alternate outfits or to play as Sheva alone, THEN I would say that would be worth complaining about.
 
Me and a friend are going to pick up RE5 to play some co-op and wondered what the difficulty levels were like. We usually go for the highest setting in shooters like Gears, Gears 2, Halo 3 and Rainbox 6. Think we could do the same for this game or does it get brutal at higher levels?

The point of the anger is that its the principle of the thing. SFIV and RE5 are both examples of the company charging extra for things that should've been included in the actual release (in SFIV's case, it actually was!)

I'll pick up the RE5 multiplayer on day one, but no way am I buying the SF costumes until they go on sale. I do, however, feel like the CE should've come with a code for a free DL of the multiplayer.
 
Could have been, but they weren't for a reason. To make extra money.
Yeah, it may suck, but that's life. That's business.

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but crying is not going to help.
If you're angry about something, especially how a company runs their stuff, yet buy it anyway - you're a hypocrite, or...just like to whine at things.
 
You guys are also forgetting to factor in that there's the possibility that there wasn't any time to put it into the game and have it fully tested before the release date. If it was announced this early into the game's release, then it's a possibility that that was the case.

Consider how long we actually had to wait for Resident Evil 5. I don't think Capcom would've wanted to push the date back any further just for a silly mode that RE's not exactly known to have.
 
I think RE4 is a better game IMHO, RE5 is just like RE4, but not as fun and more frustrating, dam AI partner is always in the way and uses to much dam ammo. no way will I pay for MP stuff that should be their, 3 yrs waiting for this, man its not as good as it should be.

I agree.... I just wish the AI wasnt so stupid! At least with REs4 you can tell her to stay put while you go off and do something else. Nope, here you have to rely on your partner as well.
 
Even though I wasn't super impressed with the RE5 demo I'm enjoying the full game so far. I'm working with the controls really well, the only thing I wish I could change is mapping moving your gun to the left analog stick instead of the right one.

When I stopped playing I was at the end of 2-2. I've constantly been running dangerously low on ammo, even though I run up to enemies and hit/curb stomp them.

I do have one question though, are there any treasures in this game that you can combine like in RE4 and if there is does the description of them imply that they can be combined?

[quote name='Tsukento']Must be a problem on your end. I can't even read anything that comes up on the loading screens because they go by so quickly.[/quote]
Yeah I installed the game to the HDD and most loading screens disappear so quickly that I can't read a single word. I think I've come across a few where I could read 2 or 3 words.
 
I have a few Questions because TRU has not delivered my game yet.


#1. When you upgrade your weapons the shotgun for example does it changes its physical appearance like in RE4?

#2. Have you guys Unlocked all the Weapons? in RE4 there were 3 Shotgun types I've read that in RE5 there are 4 types

And in RE4 there was 1 Submachine Gun the TMP in RE5 there are 2 the MP5 and Scorpion are they upgradeable. ?

#3. And lastly has anyone found all the Hanguns including Maguns? RE5 has double the amount of different handguns that RE4 Had.?

Site shows all Re5 weapons about total Triple the useable weapons as in RE 4.

Also omitted are the Different Knife Variations you can find or buy. Yes you can aquire different knives

and theres a also a Bow Gun or a Cross Bow

1. No, the appearance stays the same.

2. Yes, there are a lot of shotguns. I believe there are at least 4.

3. Yes, I've got all the handguns including the magnums. There are 4 pistols and 3 magnums if I remember correctly.

Upgrade the first weapon of each kind (first pistol, shotgun, smg, sniper) to unlock another, special version. There are no different knives to upgrade/find. The weapon you're referring to is the longbow. Only Sheva can use it. It's just like Krauser's Bow from RE4 Mercs but has no red sight and has unlimited bows. Chris gets a minigun.

It's not smart business though. Capcom could have included the DLC modes with the game and added more reason to keep coming back and playing RE5 multiplayer, instead, they just pissed off A LOT of people who will likely avoid RE5 DLC like the plague...

If that were the case it should have been free.
 
[quote name='Hacker Snacker']Theres a total of 10 handguns

7 Pistols and 3 Magnums so you missed a few.[/QUOTE]

There's four pistols.

You probably got 7 by adding the 3 magnums to the pistol total.
 
Co-Op with a human is a blessing. It's a shame the computer co-op is pretty dense with inventory management, but those are the breaks.

My wife has enjoyed this game once she got over the controls. The first part of the game was a real rush for someone who hasn't played RE before. We actually died on the first chapter to. lol.
 
Holy fuck Sheva is dumb. SHE JUST WALKS INTO EXPLOSIVES AND DIES!

I love this game, but I still hate that it was forced to be a co-op game just because co-op is, like, the big fad these days. None of my friends play enough games to really have time/be interested in co-op, and I prefer not to play co-op games with total strangers.

That aside, I think the game is great. It doesn't really feel too much like a Resident Evil game, but enough of that eerie RE4 feeling is there to keep me satisfied.

Now it's time to take a break and play some MadWorld ;)
 
Played through to the end of 2-2 with a friend tonight and it was an amazing experience. I am absolutely loving this game so far.
 
Iv played almost the whole day and Im only half way through the game... I kept dying because of Sheva and because I set it on Veteran, thinking it would be like Res 4.

Right now, Sheva is behaving better ever since I took everything away from here except for her pistol and no bullets :D
 
I can see where people are coming from about the controls now. However I see it flipped. Rather than needing to change the controls for the more 3rd-person shooter style the later game has I wish they would have left out the (since I don't know what to actually call them) AK-47 wielding Zombies. I would have much rather ran into bigger and tougher enemies or just hordes of them rather than finding cover, and popping out to shoot. I've played that enough already and I don't want it in Resident Evil. Oh well.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Awesome choices dude...I'd love all of that.

The White, Brown, Gold egg you can find easily during Chapter 3-1 when you are on the boat in the marshlands. Just go to the egg farm in the middle of the map.

The rotten egg you can only get from Chapter 4 and on. I got it from the
labyrinth room like puzzle where you have to pull the levers to move the stairs, and also the second encounter with that Bat/Scorpion hybrid monster. The rotten eggs just appear randomly in Chapter 4 from regular enemies. You also have to use the rotten egg for EGG IN YOUR FACE achievement
 
What bugs me is one of their reasons for charging for the DLC is bandwidth costs. Makes sense on the PS3, but I"m paying $50 fucking a dollars a year that supposedly covers all bandwidth costs, whether Microsoft hosts the games or Capcom.

You forget that Microsoft tends to want some money from developers for these things. Did we forget how they forced developers to charge for some content despite the developers wanting them for free (such as with Gears of War and Team Fortress 2)?

And even so, they have to program and test it to work on BOTH platforms. It's not a simple task considering how different the two consoles are.
 
The DLC costs on the PS3 as well. Capcom seems more than happy to admit it was their call. I don't think Microsoft has anything to do with this. I'm willing to bet they scrap the fee before the content is released. They're catching enough flak for the Street Fighter costumes and it would be bad PR (albeit minimal, since the gaming media is beholden to the industry...bad writeups = shit like no advance copies for preview purposes). IGN has an article up feigning concern for price structures (complete with mandatory Horse Armor example), but doesn't even touch the issue of "unlock keys" probably for that very aforementioned reason. Sad that there's no IGN or Gamespot tier hardball gaming news website out there. Sites that don't review games, so they can bash questionable industry practices with no fallout.
 
So I just beat it and it was a pretty good time. My first thought after beating it is that the BSAA emblems must be hidden extremely well because I got through the game without really looking for them and managed to stumble across a whopping 6.

Sheva is a retard. There are so many problems with her I don't even know where to start.

Great game though. I suck ass at mercs. I'll defnitely have to work myself back up to my glory days.
 
The game isn't long at all. It shouldn't take more than 8 hours unless you are really scavenging around for BSAA emblems or constantly dying during parts of the game. I'd imagine that people who've been anticipating this game (especially one who you question that happens to have an Umbrella logo as an avatar) threw down a lot more than just 8 hours yesterday/today on the game.
 
I heard veteran is pretty hard. I'd recommend either of the first two difficulties for your first time. You'll want to replay it another time or two, so you can always go higher then.
