Resident Evil 5 - Versus Mode is out

As this time there are no plans to make a filthy port.
Replug it a couple times friendbrother, usually does it for me.
I managed to get all 1000 achievement points in that game, but I didn't have internet access at the time, so a friend was simultaneously using my Live account on his Xbox, where he had recovered it to
then I got internet, and realized I had to recover my gamertag back to my own xbox
and in doing so obliterated all the achievement points I had accrued while offline
Honestly, this was mostly me as well
But then I find that once you die a few times, survival-horror games get way less intense
like, OH GOD OH GOD LOOK AT THAT LOVECRAFTIAN MONSTROSITY OH GOD WHERE IS MY AMMO
and then you die and you're all "oh hey so I guess i just respawn at the last checkpoint huh. that ain't so bad"
Probably the most terrifying horror game would be one that kept you constantly on the brink of death but in which you never died
By the time I got to my sixth playthrough of Dead Space it really wasn't scary at all anymore, but still tense
Well
ah ha ha ha ha ha what
another vital element in horror games is the fast enemy that is incredibly difficult to hit, which dead space neatly neutralizes by letting you freeze enemies in the air
the first time you encounter the super-fast mutants (in the captain's quarters) I just froze that fucker mid-air and chopped him into pieces
Spoilers all up ins
those things still scared me
also I guess I played all of my playthroughs without ever really using stasis soooo
Well they would have but they were too busy living in the medieval part of spain
Daaamn
will pay in blowjobs
I SPIT ON YOU, INVENTORY
guns take up a slot, AMMO take up a slot, fucking eggs take up a slot, fucking hell
even the god damn shock stick isn't a knife replacement, it's just another weapon
bad memories of the old RE inventory are coming back, 6 slots and 3 have to be taken up with an ink reel, a gun and ammo

more like that please
it's a nightmarish combination
you have limited slots, like original REs, you have 9 of them
but it fuses it with the case from RE4 a bit where ammo takes up space. kind of fun in that game cause you'd bee stackin' all your amoo neatly in one corner and lining up your weapons and grenades and stuff, but in this game it doesn't gel
and another thing, you have as many weapons as re4 with snipers and pistols and magnums but you don't have the slots to carry them so you have to store them away which means i never bring my grenade launcher out
That's too bad
the RE4 system worked pretty well, and trying to arrange your shit to cram everything in was almost like a fun puzzle minigame sometimes
I was always happy when I managed to free up room for a whole new gun without throwing anything out

Wait, let me guess: Xbox 360?
There's a max ammo in a slot. I've never hit it though because i'm always low as hell on every kind
is there any way to buy ammunition?
because I'm surviving on found stuff
Upgrading capacity on a gun and grenade rounds, otherwise no. Replaying the first level part of the first level gives a bunch of herbs etc.
Also that first guy, with the big axe? Man that looked amazing. Watching him spin round tearing down little buildings and hack other zombies to shit; this game is just so pretty.
a merchant with a south african accent
other than that the game has been wonderful thus far
wait there is no merchant? why the fuck would they not use an african arms dealer??
