BTW... Why does Safari Chris look like such a douche?

I hoep they have more outfits for Sheva as DLC or something, I hate her alternates.

One of Sheva's outfits reminds me of Zhu Rong from the DW series too, lol.

You hate tribal Sheva? That is one of the coolest alt costumes in history.

It's not that I hate tribal Sheva. it's just that her outfit seriously reminds of Zhu Rong's.

What I really don't like about it is that both her outfits are just fanwank. One of her concept outfits would have been nice. =\

edit: The Emblems weren't too bad. The one that WAS completely obnoxious and dumb was the one by the docks in that hut. I had to look that one up because I would have never even thought of looking for it there. At all.

edit2: I absolutely hate that party outfit. With a passion though. ;p

I wish Sheva had an alt outfit that actually made sense. Chris had his STARS uni, but nothing like that for out girl. Everytime I put Sheva in one of her skank outfits, it would distract me from the awesome RE atmoshpere everytime she'd come on screen. She's hot, but I'd like to focus on the murder of not-zombies instead.

But yea, her outfits just don't make sense for the game. I could see if she was in Onechanbara wearing those outfits... but this is RESIDENT EVIL ffs.

If they gave Sheva a giant boomerang, I'd use that alternate outfit. But for now it's normal sheva and STARS Chris.

I like playing with the noise filter on too. Something about it... I don't know.

Renzo

RE2 had a character who was a giant slice of tofu. Tribal Sheva is possibly not strange enough.

Orogogus

You can't tell me it makes any less sense than Leon in the awesome mobster outfit, or Ashley in a giant suit of armor.

I mean, I guess they had alt outfits that were somewhat sensical, but those were terrible too because Leon didn't have an alt that let him keep his awesome leather jacket.

urahonky

Keep complaining. The next RE game will not have any unlockables because people like to bitch about the stuff they DO give us.

Yes. Dang it I liked that jacket.

Synthesis

In Mercenaries Mode, I'd have preferred Jill in her entire getup (complete with mask and hood) than just her half-open catsuit.

But that's just the cool factor. Obviously, nothing to do with mechanics. Her BSAA getup is cool enough, I suppose.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume that you've haven't played and possibly never even heard of Onechanbara?

Tofu was a joke character! Ashley's armor was fine... Leon's Fedora, scarf and matching shoes were awesome.

Just saying, two stripperiffic outfits is kinda... "meh" for a resident evil game, on a character that's not Ada. ;p

edit: There'll probably be some DLC to buy with more outfits though, so I'm not too miffed.

SkutSkut

Leon had a hard gay outfit (tight leather pants and tank top) in RE2. Noone bitches about that.

Honestly, as someone who doesn't really care for going on quests to fulfill quotas that have nothing to do with the game at hand, the whole idea of "unlockables" is really just irritating. A game that controls and is designed with as many flaws as this one needs to put a lot more effort into just making the game playable, first and foremost, and get to work on the cache of items for repeat players much, much later (if ever at all).

SkutSkut

Gilder and I have almost finished SSing everyone on Duo Mercs, all we have left are BSAA Chris/Sheva, and Clubbin Sheva for me, STARS chris for him.

Gilder

So it should be said that today SkutSkut and I have finished our epic journey. Every level with every character has been SS'd. Fun fact: Every possible thing that could ever have gone wrong happened to me to fuck us over, but not once did I ever die from a chainsaw. I was the one who somehow managed to die with a score of 180k with 3 minutes left because dynamite somehow caused a chain reaction to loop back and kill me. I never died to a chainsaw though!

Also look for Skutskut in the solo mercs leaderboards for village. You'll find him at around 130.

SkutSkut

The BSAA characters actually make good compliments to power characters, surprsingly.

Professor Snugglesworth

So I've been wanting to replay the campaign on Professional difficulty. Anyone want to be my partner for such madness?

Nocren

Well, I just finished my Vet run (one sitting, nothing lower than an A ranking) so Pro is now unlocked.
And I also got the Infinite Rocket Launcher.

I have to ask though, my brother helped me from the Tanker engine room to the end and before that I played solo (so he didn't get any rankings) and we decided to try a couple of missions on Pro (1-1 and 3-1) and I noticed that while the cash drops doubled, I didn't get any of the treasure items. Since he didn't unlock Pro (we played on a single console) do we not get the drops?

Professor Snugglesworth

I partnered with a competent player yesterday (45 years old!) and unlocked all the Mercenary characters. Also enabled infinite ammo for the handgun.

I'm still looking for a co-op partner for the professional campaign (360). Anyone interested?

Gilder

If you've only got infinite ammo for the handgun, don't start pro yet. You want infinite ammo for the L. Hawk. Infinite rockets is great for strong guys, but it's too slow for everything else. That's what the L. Hawk is for.

mastrius

Gilder and Skutskut. You guys are fucking nuts. Ive dreamed of doing what youve done but goddamn. You be crazy bitches.

Gilder

It's only insane if we get SS on all characters solo as well, but neither of us really wants to do that because it's no fun. You don't get to blame the other person for getting chainsawed (Skutskut) or dying by plagas stunlock (Me) or complain about grenades bouncing back and landing in your own mouth and blowing up you as well the explosive barrel behind you (Me) when it's solo. Half the fun came from insane stuff that would never have happened solo, like when we had a 145 combo in the village.

SkutSkut

I dunno, I've got 85+ with Midnight Wesker solo village, and the only reason it didn't go higher was a spider grabbed me.

Gilder

Well Wesker doesn't count, he's broken. Everyone knows that! Do that again with Safari Chris or BSAA Sheva and we'll talk. Also you're way better than me at the game so I expect you to do that well. I could never get a huge combo solo.

Nocren

Great... I'm playing Pro with a kid that doesn't have infinate ammo. On anything.

Rakai

I haven't played in a while, but I'm up for a pro run (360). I have infinite ammo on most things.

SkutSkut

Good to see this thread back from the dead, I do have a meta tag if anyone's interested, but after my pro run I'm almost strictly Mercs/Versus only.

Gilder

Come on Skutskut, you know you want to S rank every story level on every difficulty.

AbsoluteZero

I still havent bought this, and I heart RE4 so hard.... but friends are telling me I'll play through RE5 once and never touch it again. Is this true? I must have played through RE4 a hundred times.

Gilder

It's really hard to say, as it became pretty much a 50/50 split of people who thought it was as good/better than RE4, and those who thought it was way worse. You probably won't play through the story mode of RE5 too much if you don't care about the unlockables and maxing stuff, although if you do you've got like 3 playthroughs right there, but if you liked Mercenaries mode then you'll probably like RE5. They basically doubled everything from RE4. Double the characters (10 weapon sets on 4 characters depending on their outfit), double the stages, and double the players as you can do them co-op. I would say try the demo for the single-player and then decide based on your love of Mercs. If you didn't really care for it, I'd say give 5 a rental. If you just love Mercs, consider a purchase.

I know I do, but that's what my L.Hawk Novice run is for.
As for Pro... Does the armor actually DO anything? Seems like if I don't wear it, I'm one shotted (can't even cry for help). If I wear the armor.... MAYBE I can call out once.

Yeah, if only my partner at the time was <15 or the computer AI.

Professor Snugglesworth

Well my tag is Dr Shizuma for XBL. Shoot me a message if you're interested in a pro run.

Nocren

My online access is erratic at best. But I'll keep that in mind.

I played through RE 5 around 10 or more times(And thats just what I remember at this moment. I guarantee it was around more than 20 times honestly. Due to co-oping it with a shitload of friends and ...oh god I dont even want to think how many times right now). Its good shit. And its much better when you dont have infinite ammo and its a clean play through on a hard difficulty. Makes it a fucking bitch and a half but oh so exciting. The game is well worth it. Oh yes.

And Gilder, yeah, I thought of that as well but that is just bullshittery. Doing mercs SS solo would not be fun at all. I love co-op but the thought of doing a bajillion levels alone a bajillion times makes me want to be crushed by Chris' super awesome man-strength arms of justice.

Shit like this really puts me in a sour mood. Every single one of these unused scenarios look awesome. Has there EVER been a beta concept left out that wouldn't have improved a game?

In any event it would make for some really nice RE5 DLC, but that hardly makes up for things. I look back into that bullshit comment that they didn't want the game to be "too long"....

Of all the games to go through kickass beta material, the Resident Evil series has a long history of nearly entire games being scrapped for something new, hell we got an entire new franchise because of RE4s stuff getting scrapped.

Professor Snugglesworth

I'll never sleep soundly until they one day release the "Leon and the Hookman" scenario.

That shit looked incredible, and there hasn't been a Capcom game that came even close to that atmosphere.
