What's the best stuff to buy?

I've about 9000+ credits

I did lock pick and bolt cutters to held aid my speed run. Saving for the launcher now.

Nemesis is just scripted boss fights so not much pressure.

I seen someone else say that as well , nemesis in the original would show up in random places but he's scripted in this.

Kinda depends on what you plan on doing. If you're going for harder difficulties with only 9,000 points, I'd maybe suggest the crafting companion and a defense coin.

Trying to get S rank for Inferno, with 1:42 and 5th save just before final boss.

Driving me up the wall due to how fast its attacks are!

Saving up for the Rocket Launcher here.

blaa85 · 09-04-2020 7:47pm

100% completed the game there. Must have completed it at least 7 times, rocket launcher run on inferno done in 1:08. Had to use one of my saves before that massive head rolls down the steps, got caught by that a few times!

DaveyDave · 09-04-2020 8:11pm

Started a collectable run on Assisted and was killed during my first encounter with Nemesis after being attacked by it and a zombie, in quick succession over and over. No chance to get out. Quite annoying.

Similar thing happened during the Nest fight in the pit, eventually it would go nuts and lash out at you getting you several times in a row and killing you.

I'll leave the no heal/item box run for another time...

Penn · 10-04-2020 11:53am

Did a quick bit of farming for weapon kills last night and got enough XP for the rocket launcher, hip pouches, defence and recovery coins (and just enough left over for the Jill STARS costume). Going to cheese the harder difficulties with the rocket launcher and probably platinum the game with an Assisted no box/heals run, or maybe I'll do that run first in order to get the Stars manual for the harder difficulties.

I think a lot of the criticisms of the game aren't warranted, but a lot of them are. But I still enjoy playing it. Even on Assisted you can find yourself in a bad spot with a double-lunge from a zombie or a flashbanged Hunter/licker clawing you as you try get past them, and the story/characters are better in many aspects than RE2:re (though like the game, they're more action-based than tense horror).

Do them separately you’ll save yourself a whole lot of bother imo

Do a no heal run with the coins and rocket laucher on hardcore you’ll clean up a lot of trophy’s in one run.

You can piss through a no item box run last on assisted mode using guns and herbs you pick up

So just finished in 6hr30mins ish. It says I only got 9/10 weapon parts. What the hell did I miss?! :eek:

A very good game but I am quite disappointed overall. I always prefered 3 to 2 and was so looking forward to this. But so much was cut out that as a fan it's hard to defend it. Just feels lazy. They should have kept it another few months and added another area. I think Jill should have gone back to RPD, then later maybe combine the church+clocktower and have Carlos play that into hospital. Change the boss fight where she gets

infected

to have it happen in a park background setting.

But what is there is executed very well and anyone who doesn't know any better should have a great time with it. All we need now is Mercenaries DLC!

Oh and the thing I'm most upset about:

NO BARRY AT THE END!

Was super looking forward to seeing that:(

Looked it up. It was the shell holder I missed:(

Watching Angry Joe's review now. Seems like he's bitterly disappointed:

I found the jokes in this to be quite cringey but his commentary is spot on.

The one in the warehouse? Yeah, missed that on my first playthrough too. Though hadn't got one of the nemmy upgrades either so wouldn't have mattered.

Did hardcore and nightmare with rocket launcher and coins. Flew through them pretty handy bar final nemmy fight on nightmare. Pretty much a one hit kill from him as even when you survive one hit he pummels you before you can move or dodge again.

Best bit though is Carlos' line about it being f*cked up shooting cops feels a bit insincere when you've blown them up with a rocket launcher

Think it's just inferno S rank and a no box run I've to do for the platinum. Got the one-herb on nightmare (second spider-thing poisoned me on hardcore so had to use another herb).

Azza · 11-04-2020 2:44pm

I basically completed 4 runs of the game, on Hardcore, Nightmare, Assisted and Inferno mode, an unlocked all achievements in 27 hours of game time.

My first playthrough on hardcore mode was the most difficult and time consuming because I didn't know what I was doing. Nightmare and Inferno modes where actually much easier due to item and weapon unlocks, with the exception of the final boss who is extremely difficult on both Nightmare and Inferno modes where he all but 1 hit kills you and you really have to learn his patterns and get the dodge timings down.

I played assisted mode just to hover up achievements, also spent just under an hour grinding kills for record unlocks.

I might do one more run on Inferno with no item/weapon unlocks for a bit of challenge. But done with it after that.

Overall I got my value out of the €46 euro I payed and that's without touching RE Resistance.

Where did you get it for 46 quid? It's on the store for 60

There were a few UK stores selling it for £40, which is about €46 when shipping is accounted for.

I just tried inferno mode. Damn that's tough. Had to retry the first bit a few times because once a normal zombie grabs you, that's it. Cant tap X quick enough. Made it past and got the rocket launcher. Made it to first nemmy fight and died, and when I saw the loading screen remembered theres no auto save in inferno and it threw me back to the start.

I'll give it another go tomorrow. Wanted to save my 4 saves for later in the game, thought Nemmy 1 would be a cinch but he dodged a rocket and charged me.

Rob2D · 11-04-2020 5:17pm

So the first thing I bought in the shop was the Samurai Edge and I noticed that they put in the wrong model. It's the standard model you get instead instead of her own. Poor effort again from the devs.

SMC92Ian · 11-04-2020 8:02pm

How did people get the launcher? I've done it 3 times and am a way off getting it.

Got it from Green man gaming.

I got it last of the unlocks and at that point I had to complete all the records. If you skip some of the other infinite ammo weapons you could get it quicker.

Farm for points. Look at Records and see what challenges you can complete. I did an Assisted play through and made saves at the power station (get shotgun kills against the spiderthings), the hospital siege (assault rifle and handgun kills) and the lab with the pale heads (Mag and Grenade launcher kills). It really doesn't take long, 5-10 runs of each should do it if you've already done 3 playthroughs. Get the collectables during the run too if you can.

Just finished inferno. Last boss was a goddamn d*ckhead. Just a no box run left for the platinum, then I might try hardcore etc without the rocket launcher.

biggebruv · 11-04-2020 10:21pm

Save at the hospital before Carlos has to defend Jill on assisted the best place to farm a lot of kills

You can make about 30000 points here alone the catch is it takes abit but well worth it to unlock the launcher for the nemesis boss on inferno and nightmare difficult

Penn · 14-04-2020 9:46am

Platinumed over the weekend. Got it with a no box assisted run. Went to buy everything in the shop and realised I just needed two more challenges to get enough points (they don't all contribute to the platinum). Just had to kill 3 more zombies with a handgun and get the Fuggedaboutit challenge (which I had to google as there's no description), so finished it off just to have everything done.

Might give it a break for a while, other stuff to be getting on with.

SMC92Ian · 14-04-2020 10:32pm

I was gonna do the no box run but forgot I had to open the box to get my launcher so that's out the window.

It's pretty easy on Assisted. You get 4 extra inventory slots from the start, an assault rifle, and theres ammo everywhere for when you need to drop some to make inventory space for a bit. Just dont get the upgrades which will make pistol or shotgun take 2 spaces, don't take the burst-fire pistol or Mag (you won't need either anyway) and you shouldn't need to carry any more than 2 heals (even then you could get away with one for most of it then bringing two into boss fights). Also, standard zombies pretty much all go down in three shots, then another head shot will stop them getting back up. Just make sure you pick up all other hip pouches (including the one from the jewel boxes, you might need to go back to it if your inventory is filling up with two of them, then go back with the last jewel box after getting the bolt cutters).

It's far easier than RE2 as there are fewer key items to be carried about at any time.

I think replays with increasing difficulties and gimmicks like 'no saves' don't equate to replay value the way multiple endings do.
I only paid 30 for my copy and still feel a little deflated.

Speaking of it's now 29.99 on PS STORE.
I say it will be 20 euro soon enough in bricks and mortar stores. I will pick it up myself then.

On a side-note, I don't think many games are worth full price. Paid for a lot of games over the years at full and meh to that

Fair point, but re2 remake had so much by comparison
