Yep, you gotta conserve those rifle bullets!!!

Played more this morning after work..... simply amazing.... and just wanted to keep this thread alive.....

I'm such a wuss. I've already burned through three rocket launchers. I get so sick of dying over and over again I'd rather just blow 30000 and be done with it. At one spot I just passed in area 4-1 it actually was a pretty wise strategy, though, when

this game is simply the best on the cube. i've beat it once and am going through it again on professional difficulty. gotta love suplexing those suckers left and right.

Great game! Ive also already beaten it and will be playing again so I can have all the weapons and go around killing people.

SPOILERS below for those that haven't beaten the game yet....



Anyone manage to get 5 star rankings for all of the characters on Mercenaries yet? Im curious as to what you unlock. I have about half of the 5 star ratings. Some of the usable characters are awesome. Theres nothing like Hunk using 2 handgun bullets to stun a chainsaw wench and then breaking their neck for an instant kill.

once again i'm in dire need of rifle bullets.
Any ideas if there are rifle bullets nearby or any tips for doing this part with another gun?

Cardiff Giant: use your pistol. it at least worked for me

I believe there are rifle bullets in a breakable crate in that room, if you have time to get to them.

This game keeps getting better, they put a lot of variety into it to keep it from just being constant shooting. I really enjoyed the part where they are assaulting you from all sides in the cabin. Also did anybody else go through both paths, when you have the choice to go left or right? I did just to fight another el gigante.

For those who have beaten the game, list the amount of times you died. I am going to nominate myself for most deaths, I got nailed by the chainsaw guy so many times.

You don't need time. Just tell Ashley to wait at the end of the hall, and go search around the room. When you're ready, call her, then deal with the thing.

I finally beat this last night, and now I'm playing through again.

Do you get a grade or something when you finish the game? I figure that's why they keep track of deaths and saves. Anyone know if there are any bonuses for finishing the game faster/less deaths/less saves/etc.

Not that I've seen/heard of so far. Most of the extra bonuses seem to be tied into the mini games.

Some of the little touches in this game just go to show how much work went in. When you are on the gondola shooting off villagers, Ashley gives a little cheer (with her arm) each time you shoot one off.

Need a little info on the shooting gallery minigame. Do you have to use each weapon (sniping, rapid fire) to get all the bottlecaps, or can you just choose one? I am still not sure how the rewards/bottle caps work, I have two so far, but am confused how to get more.

YOu can use either set of weapons for the shooting gallery. There are four types of shooting gallery games, A, B, C, D, each representing a row which open up as your progress through the game. It doesn't matter which weapons you use. Each game type has 6 bottlecaps you can win. If you get 3,000 points you get 1 cap, 4,000 you get 2. Once you hit six for that game type there's really no point to play that game type again unless you want to practice. Just wait until the nextr game type opens up. You can see where that'll be by the blue dots on the map labeled submission.

You get money for finishing a row, but that's it. Otherwise it's just a fun collectible to look at with funky sound.

Thanks, I half figured it out last night, got the first six anyways. I found using the pistol worked best for me because of reloading speed and it's relatively easy to aim. The shotgun often shoots more targets than intended, and I realized it wasn't giving me the bonus target with the shotgun.

Got some great money not to far after that, when you see the group in a circle worshiping some shrine, you are above them

If you're not worried about ammo, you can take out animals for extra stuff, too. At one spot there was about a dozen crows just sitting on the ground. Each one has about 200-300 pesetas (plus potenitally other items), so it can add up if you use the shotgun and can nail them all at once. Also, the fish can be used as recovery items (or sold). The large bass restores full health, but he takes up quite a few item spots, so you may only want to go after him if you want to immediately restore health.

Anyone shot the merchant by accident? I did that right before the boss battle on 4-4. Thought he was one of the priests at the top of the stairs and killed him. I'm on 5-1 now and really going to try and finish it up this week. I just haven't had a lot of time to play it.

I shot him in the face with my shotgun, but it was hardly an accident.

Of course, as many others have, I've also killed my fair share of crows, chickens, and the best of all, slashed a cow to death. Oh, and Ashley too. In the end, if I can kill it, then you're damn right I will.

Sorry that I don't really have anything new/useful to say here, but I was shocked that nobody had posted in this thread for >24 hours. I just didn't want the conversation to die down! Since the week the game was coming out I've been looking on here for more tidbits about it, and none today! Maybe everyone is busy playing it? Or (worst case scenario) that you guys had "real jobs" that make you work all week long so that you can't play/post your comments.... Either way, I'm loving this game more and more the further that I get into it and I hope that everyone is doing the same....

I just finished it last night, just under 20 hours. I am having fun with the mercenaries mini game now

Well, I've now beaten it twice and have consumed every bit of information I can. But at some point I'll give the professional mode a try with my beefed up weapons.

Assignment Ada was fun though, and gives a little more inidcation (well, clarifies) some of the story and where it's obviously headed in future games though. Plus it gives you the kick ass Chicago Typewriter, what a great gun. Granted, the game is easier than hell with this weapon, but it's great to go back through the game and just blast your way through. Though, second time through only took me like 8 hours, and I wasn't really rushing. Ashley's second costume offers more cleavage though, which was amusing for a few seconds.

Sadly, I've no more Resident Evil to play. Hopefully part 5 comes along a little faster than this one did. They don't have to reinvent the wheel this time so, I can imagine it won't.

Forget all the discussion. If you don't have this awesome game right now, it's on sale this week at Fry's Electronics until February 1st for the sweet low price of $34.99!! This price was taken from the ad in Phoenix, AZ.

Finished it as well, what an awesome game this was! I enjoyed every second of it. The mercenaries mini-game is the best, Krauser kicks supreme a$$! The Assignment Ada mission was cool as well and does add some more insight to the story. Right now im currently playing it again. I think im at chapter 4-1 right now with only like almost 5hrs clocked in.
