I got the rifle with scope cause soon after you get to a section that utilizes it.

Sweet, got the Red9 handgun now to find a better shotgun and sniper rifle.

How important is playing through the previous games story-wise?
I want to play this game because everyone raves about it, but the OCD in means I want to play the previous games first. Problem is, other than RE7, every RE game I have tried has been too fucking hard to stick with it all the way through.

Why So Blu?

Finally started this up and finished chapter 1, or was it chapter 2? I found the guy in a body bag before getting attacked. Yeah, it's fun as hell and has the same game mechanics from Village, so there's minimal learning curve. Graphics-wise it also looks like Village.

Hardly matters at all. Some of the characters are from previous games, but it really doesn't matter. The RE stories are a convoluted mess, and it's best to just focus on the singular storyline within one game, rather than the macro-story over the series, which really makes no sense.
RE4 Remake as four difficulty settings. I'm sure there's a setting that's best for you.

Anyone get the bonus Striker shotgun and know why it doesn’t work with regular shotgun shells? Thanks.

So, it's a great game but damn, I feel like I'm playing through village. I now see where Village got its ideas from along witht he evil within.....right down to the actual characters. The trip mines bring back evil within vibes as well (yes I know, the crators of RE made EW).

I love the movements by the cult (just going to call them cult members for now as I have no idea what's going on yet) members....the way they look at you, attack, very cool.

I love this game and it gets better and better as it keeps going.

I think I've stepped in EVERY bear trap as well lol.

Maxflier

Thanks slop, think I'll give it a go then.

God, I hate this part with Luis in the house had to use up pretty much my health items. Be easy on new game plus with my weapons maxed out.

OldBoy

You definitely don’t have to play any of the other games to play this. I didn’t know shit except playing a bit of original RE and this is one of my favorite games of all time. This version just enhances this experience.

Maxflier

Started it last night and played through the first chapter. This is definitely my kind of game.

OldBoy

It really feels and looks like a brand new game.

Maxflier

Ok, this beginning section of chapter 2 is infuriating. Do the villagers ever stop spawning?

dom56

I miss the incendiary grenade, it would have help with those dogs in the castle garden maze.

dom56

Playing the Ashley part was fun and scary.

Why So Blu?

I'm in that garden section right now. Game is fun as hell.

OldBoy

Can remakes win GotY? They should. Between this and Dead Space, thy bar hath been set.

OldBoy

No one knows anything about Striker shotgun?
**edit** guess I got to wait till certain chapter to use. I think.

mhg83

Bro its on the first page of Google when you search "Striker Shotgun ammi RE4 remake"

OldBoy

how the hell do you solve the marble puzzle in Chap 2 in the village chief's manor? thanks in advance. part is very frustrating.

dom56

Need to line up to the shape on the door, took me several tries to unlock it.

OldBoy

yeah, thanks. i know what to do, but i don't know how to do. i saw many online vids and they just show you, but no real consistency in directions. seems like it's trial and error and i have been erroring for some time.

dom56

Wait til you get to the church lights puzzle.

OldBoy

these puzzles weren't in the original game were they? i don't remember them a lick and i played it like 20x...

Why So Blu?

I am on chapter 10. Will probably return to it tonight or tomorrow morning.
