The villagers are fast, and they have projectiles, but they're pretty easy too. I just long for the return of zombies. I like em.

I can't wait to get home and play through the game again. probably be able to complete it in about 6 hours now with the new weapons and ammo from the start, yeehaw!

Man that last boss was dumb, so freaking easy. And only one too, usually the last RE bosses have at least 2 fights. Although the jetski was fun.
Now i have TONS of magnum ammo cause i thought i'd need it but i ended up just using the shotgun. Bleh.

well if youre talking about Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later fast zombies, then theyre about 3 times as fast as the villagers. plus, the villagers always slowed to a walk when they were about 4 feet from you. i didnt like that. made it too easy to kill them.

i know. that last boss was so dissapointing. i beat it in like 5 minutes in 1 try. i was hoping for a long and grueling fight, but in the end, it was exactly the opposite. i was thinking it was gonna be like 10 times harder than the Salazar fight.

yeah the salazar one was much harder. hell the Le Gigantes are much harder!! Anything is harder than that, it was so crap.
Pah.

Funny that Ada throws the rocket launcher down though. Deja Vu leon?

yeah i thought that was funny when she did that.
of course she would have to tho, shes Ada. thats what she does. throws down powerful weapons for you at the last second. i dont understand tho, why it said (special) next to the rocket launcher in your inventory when you picket it up. it looked normal to me.

It was a super rocket launcher. the rocket was red, didn't you see it? instead of the normal grey of the other ones. it sort of spread out and caused mutiple explosions instead of just one.

i did notice that the rocket was red, but thats all i noticed. i didnt think that was much of a difference tho. i didnt see that it caused other explosions tho. i really wanna get the infinite Launcher. but its so damn expensive. ill save up for it tho, since all i have to use for the first section of the game is my pistol or TMP.

yeah i'm looking forward to getting it too. i could probably buy it right off the bat if i sold my blacktail and killer 7 and magnum rounds. but, i also have the option of buying the amazing 'russian typewriter' , i think that's what it's called, which is apparently super powerful and unlimited ammo. it resembles the AK in code veronica. same price as the rocket launcher.

actualy its called the chicago typewriter, if thats what ur thinking of.

that's the one!

and i thought it was supposta be more like a tommy gun, not like an AK.

well, when you complete assignment ada it showed a picture of it and it definately looked like an AK. maybe you're right though it would make more sense judging by the name.
guess i'll find out when i get it.

i saw a picture of it in the strategy guide and it looked like a tommy gun to me. how many other unlockable guns are there in the game?

Rocket Launcher
Matilda
^ End of game unlockables.

Chicago Typewriter
^ Assignment Ada

Hand cannon
^ 5 star rating all Mercs levels.



That's it i think.

The matilda is stupid. Black tail can take it down any day of the week. I've unlocked Ada, Krowser and Hunk and beaten assignment ada. Does anyone know who the last merc person is?

o. well i guess thats enough considering theres a good array of weapons already in the game. i wonder what kinda new things the PS2 version is gonna have?

Awesome dude, you're doing great.
WESKER!! Sporting a lovely black leather jacket.



Extra costumes, that's all i know of so far.

Black jacket? You mean hes not wearing his usual black attire?

No no, he's wearing all black. It's just he's also wearing a black leather jacket which looks pretty neat. His weapons suck, he's got a weird pistol with a silencer (i didn't find a silencer in the game..?) a rifle and a killer 7 with hardly any rounds and tons of grenades.

I'm haveing trouble with the water place. Cant get a high score with anything.

Yeah that WaterWorld level was weird. Best bet to do is run around right at the start, collect all the extra time things you can, then climb up a ladder and get into a corner and just start picking people off with the rifle as they come at you. Ada is the best at that level. Krauser is pretty good in it too, for his special attack against the chainsaw guys.

Yeah I like krawser i beat the third stage with him first try.

YES i just unlocked wesker!

haha i did the thrid stage with him too.
the bow and arrow thing is AWESOME.

nice. try him on the castle area since it's probably the easiest.
i found hunk the hardest to use due to his lack of weaponry.

BS it says a 5 star ranking on all stages with all characters!

I got 37 kills my score was 25,320 and my max was 14 for 3 stars.

Yeah, 5 stars is tough to get.

I got a 57000 score on the castle with wesker and i still only got 4 stars.

Did Hunk look like that in 2? I never saw him and always visioned him differently.

Yup, he looked just like that. Same as all the other Umbrella Special Tactics team that were slaughtered by Birkin down in the sewers.

OOH! I got 5 stars at the castle with Krawser witha score of 66,520.

Nice dude!

It must be over 60000 to get 5 stars then.
So, every level, over 60000, every character.

Damn, that hand cannon better be DAMNED good.

Yeah. I'm wondering if maybe the place where you unlocked the person they do better because krawser takes everyone down in one hit in the castle but in town he doiesnt.

Maybe. Even still, you have to get 5 stars with each character on each level right?

I can't believe how much work that is. That's over 20 playthroughs on the Mercs, and with scoring over 60000 each time. Crikey!

I think i'm just gonna play through the game again, buy the new weapons and have some fun before stressing out over that.

Just got 5 starts on the town with krauser. He really is the easiest.

Wow you're doing pretty good.
I'll have to remember that. I found Krauser a little tough at first, mainly because all he had was the Bow, but i only quickly tried with him in the Military Complex area and didn't get a good feel for him. I'm sure that special attack really helps with the chainsaw guys eh.

Yeah the claw guy and the chainsaw guy and the chain gun guy and huge groups of cattle. Its great and once you get used to the bow nothing can stop you.

Just a question about the story, and please don't answer me with "wait till you play it" response, please!!!

Is Umbrella back in RE4?

No Umbrella is not in this game.

NO?????!!!!!


*cries desperately*

its not that bad. besides, everyone knows that already. im suprised you didnt. but they will most likely be back in the next game.

I knew Umbrella was destroyed, but in an interview one of the producers, I guess, said that Umbrella would be back, that's why I asked

oo. well at least we know that they are definately coming back, which means MORE ZOMBIES!!!

YAY!!!!!!


Any hints of that in 4?

yeah they say something about it, but youll just have to wait and find out when you play it.

Umbrella not being in the game isn't entirely accurate.

There are 3 characters in the game with connections to the now destroyed company. Ada Wong and Jack Krauser were hired by Albert Wesker to retrieve the sample of the Plagas virus, in order to use it to re-start the corportation.

Why Wesker is not heading Umbrella, i don't know, especially since he was one of Umbrellas main reasons for it's downfall and was working for a corporation opposite Umbrella in the last game.

When Krauser first said 'Umbrella' i got pretty excited, and Ada gets away with the sample, letting Wesker know she has it and he says good, time to bring about the resurface of the Umbrella Corp, or something along those lines.

it sucks that Ada ends up being bad again. why cant she just be good for once.

but i am very looking forward to Umbrellas return to see what they bring next.

I dunno. I guess she was never good to begin with.
Poor Leon. Although i get the feeling Leon and Ada met before this game, after RE2. He didn't seem very suprised she was alive, nor all that happy to see the woman he fell inlove with, did he?

no he didnt. idk maybe they just made the mistake of having them not showing enough emotion. if they did meet up again, i would think they would have explained it somewhere in the game.

yeah, but krauser and leon had previously met too but that wasn't explained either.

Yeah all it said was something about a plane crash?

I wasn't really paying all that much attention so i don't remember. I was trying to watch out for those damned Quick Time buttons.

yeah i hated that. it kept catching me off guard so i really wasnt paying attention to the conversation. it sucks that they did that. it caused me about 2 or 3 deaths too.
