Resident Evil 5

I agree the music is way better then regular mercs, and versus. But I just think that the new characters are more entertaining to play with than the old ones, and not just because the majority have rediculous weapons. 😗

I hate the reapers. Not only are they roaches (which I hate in real life), and do instant kills, they're always killing my chained kills! Is there any good way to put them out permanently without using the RPG?

Lost in Nightmares is outrageously good.

I love how they included the option of having the old style view.

Not because it's awesome, but because I hope it makes people realise how the game has evolved beyond it. It's so useless now.

I dunno. I like most of the new characters and all, but it doesn't feel the same without some of the old ones too. At first I thought reunion was going to have everyone from the original mercs as well...

I know what you meen. Sometimes I go back to old mercs, or versus just to play with the old characters again, I meen I still like the old characters, but just love to play something new. It's horrible having to choose separate modes to use separate characters you like.

Desperate Escape confirmed for release tomorrow.

Can't wait to play as Josh.

Man, Desperate Escape was quite the ***** on professional, more-so than any other part of the game.

As for Josh, his handgun sucks as expected, but some of his melees still make up for it, I suppose.. And although adorable, Rebecca is weak as hell.

Desperate Escape is pretty hard. Felt like I was put into a raging war. Because, you can't expect it to be scary as it's more action-oriented.

Bird Jill, Hunk, and Irving aren't in the game and that's because those pics are fake. Someone is gonna get lynched 😠

Well, they looked believable. When I'm hyped for something (like I was for this DLC), I usually don't bother to double-check whether a related pic I see is real or fake, unless it's real obvious. srug The fact you believed them to be legit too at first makes you just as naive as me. 😛
Eh, at least the Excella being included part wasn't a lie.

Does anyone know what the last two extra figures are?

-AC

One is just battle suit Jill and Josh, and the other is heavy metal Chris & business Sheva standing next to each other.

Yeah. 😬

I downloaded Desperate Escape last night, but I went to bed early.

I plan to play it more tonight.

Comments to follow soon.

Regardless, can't wait 'till the rest of the characters come out, even though there will probably be lots of noob players who will spam Heavy Metal Chris's gattling gun on everything they see and not give me a chance to make any melee kills, just like how people on versus mode overuse STARS Wesker's faggy little Hydra, because that's all they know how to do.

What else would a Heavy Metal Chris use? The tazer rod?

One of the bad things about the gattling gun too is that aside from it being much harder to aim with than most guns (at least for me), it doesn't really make the boss majini flinch like all the other powerful weapons do. You could be shooting an executioner or chainsaw guy constantly with the gattling gun, and they can still attack you with their weapons as though they were never being hit. I learned that the hard way.

Also, I hate how the Desperate Escape achievements seem to be ****ing glitched. Like, I got a notification for each one I got like I usually would, but the system doesn't seem to recognize that I got 'em unless I go straight to Compare Games with someone, and the achievements themself weren't even added to my gamerscore. They better fix this crap soon with an update.

Nevermind, just google'ed it. Had to sign out and recover my gamertag, then do the achievements all over again... That was gay, but at least I got 'em for real this time.
Stupid Crapcom not releasing an update ahead of time. ermm

Nothing beats Barry's classic lines in Mercenaries.

Just like how nothing beats Rebecca's adoreableness.. and feebleness. 🙁

omg Josh and Rebecca are great additions to the mercs. I kick so much behind with them.

Rebecca's melees suck though for the most part, except the flame spray, but I suppose the crapload of ammo she gets for both guns at the beginning makes up for that.

As for Josh, eh... His suplex move takes too long to do and any good combo I have goin' usually ends up dying when I'm in the middle of doing it, but at least he's not as bad in that manner as Excella. And he has the coolest move ever when helping a teammate that's being grabbed.

Rebecca and Barry make me want to actually play this again.

Especially Barry

"WHAT IS THIS?"
