Resident Evil 5 Discussion Thread

[Zangetsu]

Hi Guys,

Started to play this game & very much liked it.
Graphics is top notch with MT framework though not better than Havok(in FarCry 2)

Chris Redfield build looks like steroid builds filled with nitrogen gas
Sheva is a good shooter with AI but in Cover mode her bullets hit my arm & shoulder instead of enemy

Monster detailing is awesome

Q: Do I have to sell all the treasures in the game or keep them for the last?
Q: I have played RE4 which was awesome too...but RE5 doesn't have yellow herb?only Red & Green...

Q: Did u get all the BSAA emblems?I haven't...

I m in chapter 3-2 & feels dat this game is shorter than RE4.

RE5 is DX11 right??

Sell them to buy and upgrade items...if u don't sell them ur inventory will get full and then u won't be able to pickup any important items...

Yes you have to sell them all they are only for money and nothing else.

Yes it have only two. But you can mix them.
Red+Green = Full health
Green+Green = 60% health
Red can't be used on its own it can be only used by combining with Green but Green one can be used if if you have one so If you have a red and found a green mix them ASAP to save a inventory slot and for a full health pack for both Chris and Sheva

Yes I have got em all the thirty.
By now you should have got 16 or 17 BSAA emblem.
Do you want their locations or You would prefer to find on your own. You can see how many BSAA emblem are there in a level by chapter select.

Actually the best part is that this is very nicely optimised I mean you get all that glory without costing too much on Graphics card and it runs much better than any game with similar graphics.

Yes. If you want the locations post here and I'll give the location of all the emblems.

I know.

Yes many times. Golden egg restores full health and rotten egg reduces it so don't ever eat a rotten egg throw them at Las plagas to kill them.
Dude I have completed this game 6 or 7 times so ask about anything and most probably I would answer your question. I have all weapons with unlimited ammunation and I have completed this game in 2.5 hrs.

[vamsi_krishna]

Just to keep things clean.. FC2 uses Dunia engine. Havok is just a physics middleware.

[gameranand]

^^ And Dunia Engine is based on Unreal Engine 3 right??? I read it somewhere but not sure.

It's based on CryEngine and not Unreal Engine 3. UE3 belongs to EPIC games.

just 2.5hrs

[gameranand]

Yup thats right just 2.5 hrs. Actually once you know each and every location and have a magnum with unlimited ammunition and Rocket launcher with unlimited ammunition then it seems easy enough. I won't spoil game further just play ans you'll know.

Oops didn't knew that. Thanks a lot for that info.

& also upgraded the Ishaka shotgun...

Btw i m waiting for gatling gun

[gameranand]

Its not just powerful its damn powerful. One suggestion Upgrade the very first handgun you get, the very first machinegub you get in 1.1 mission but uppgrade the shotgun Jailbreaker.

You have to complete the game once and then only it will be unlocked.

[Zangetsu]

I have upgraded both (chris & sheva's handgun)

I haven't i was focussing on Ishaka shotgun coz I've heard dat fully upgrading it will unlock "Triple Barrel Shotgun" the most powerful

Btw is it worth upgrading 1st MachineGun...I guess it M&G

I haven't got this yet...currently in a boss fight with Irving

[gameranand]

Yeah the name is hydra. And its not powerful than Jailbreaker

Originally Posted by Zangestu

IMO its best MG because at full upgrade it holds 300 ammo in one mag that means a lot less slot in inventory I mean in inventory MG space is for 150 bullets and gun itself carries 300 so you don't need to carry ammo for it from start. It also unlocks Gatling Gun after completing the game. Its critical damage is good means more one shot kills.

[abhidev]

Handgun is very effective if you can give headshots...Shotgun is powerful when lot of those zombies come close to u...machine gun is I guess not that effective in this game unless and until you have unlimited ammo....

[Zangetsu]

I have to R&D on weapons in RE5 to find out which is powerful & worth upgrading

How come u r so sure????

after completing...then u mean when again start as a new game i will get this in Buy menu inventory or will it automatically available in my inventory....

also can the inventory be expanded just like RE4 where new bigger briefcases were available

[gameranand]

Only if critical damage is high enough.

They are effective for running just fire the zombies and run don't fight. Until they stand again you'll be long gone.

Originally Posted by Zangestu

Because I have completed this game about 6 to 7 times and remeber the stats of each weapon after full upgrade and before upgrade.

It will be available for purchase and kinda costly. 50000.

No...

[Zangetsu]

Yes and I have unlocked each and every character in that mode and have completed each and every map with A+ score.

One you shoot them using a shotgun..they just fall down and then later you can smash them with your legs instead of running...

[Zangetsu]

Oh ya...Stomping....

Btw I love the combo of Chris & Sheva....
How to do the 1hit-kill..i mean the throat slit kill

when sheva kicks frm my back I also go down

[gameranand]

Yeah but thats effective when you have lesser zombies with you or they'll get a chance to attack you.

I can't understand which move you are talking about but if that involves both the players then its hard because its a rare chance that your parter will give him the blow that you want for next combo. This is most effective in Co-op match rather than single player.

I have done combo hits successfully in SP.

1hit-kill: Chris goes to back of enemy & slits his throat with his army knife ..but how to initiate dat i dnt knw

[gameranand]

I have also done them but the combos which requires both players were kinda hard for me because of AI.

Its called neck breaker and here is how to initiate it.
If you want to pull off your character’s instant kill against ordinary Majini, you
need to set up for a Low attack. A couple of bullets in their shins, so that they
drop down or hunch over without being fl oored, will do the job on unarmored
enemies. If their legs are armored, aim for the feet.
Now you need to get behind the enemy, but just far enough past their side will
count as such. If you’re facing them, draw an imaginary line through the Majini
from shoulder to shoulder and run just beyond it. There’s no need to turn around
or to face them: as long as you’re right beside the Majini, you should see the
description of your normal Low context move suddenly change into your instant
death move as you pass. As Chris, for instance, you would see “Uppercut” turn
to “Neck Breaker”. Immediately hit your context action button to activate the
move animation, which will automatically reposition you.

Is there a Single Player combo...only with chris

[gameranand]

^^ I guess you have already seen them. Uppercut, Hook followed by Stomp, Straight and some more. Can't remember the names of all.

[abhidev]

If you use melee attacks more...it will help you save up on ammo...

[gameranand]

^^ And if you don't do melee then you can't complete the game at all because ammo are not plenty here and melee attacks do a lot more damage than ammos so its not just an option its a necessity of the game that you go for a melee when ever possible like take for instant you shoot 1 bullet to a las plagas and do a uppercut followed by stomb and you have killed him with one bullet and if you try to kill him with bullets only it'll take 3 bullets to kill him 2 at least in head unless he dies with a critical hit.

[Zangetsu]

@gameranand: U were saying Jailbreaker is the most powerful shotgun....
but M3 has 900 power max....

& Hydra has 550 power max...
but Hydra is triple barrel(3shells per shot) dat means 550*3= 1650 max per shot
