Resident Evil 4.

[ShadowyOne]

What about the two Garradors? I'm thinking of using a rocket launcher for them and Verdugo.

[Smashey]

Well, how much launcher ammo do you have? I haven't gotten this far.

[ShadowyOne]

Well, I only have one. That's why I'm going to buy another one after I use it. I just hope a merchant will be there. I should check up on that.

Anyway, I just did the dragon room, which was kinda hard due to all the Zealots coming down on you while you're trying to snipe the pilots of the statues.

Oh yeah, so how far are you in the Castle?

[Smashey]

Uh, I don't play anymore. My controller makes the Camera move to the left and it looks distorted and stuff. I got to the part when Ashley is down below and your up top and have to free her from the holding place or whatever.

Get a new controller?

Anyway, after playing all the way through NBA Street V3 and Metal Gear Solid, I've finally come back to this game.

I went from 4-1 to 4-3 (I'm at 4-3 right now). I used a rocket launcher on the two Garradors (they died instantly) and I used a rocket launcher on Verdugo, who also died. Then 4-2 consisted of fighting Ganados (for some reason you see them again -- I'm underneath the castle now), fighting two El Gigantes, and going through a whole cave-full of Novistadors. Ashley got kidnapped in 4-1 (by Novistadors) so I'm still alone.

It was weird, though. I had to fight another Dr. Salvador again. He took like 10 rifle shots to the head and still didn't die. I had to finish him off with my Striker. Oh yeah, speaking of which, I bought a Striker. It doesn't look like a shotgun, but it is, and you can shoot fast (although the cool reload after each shot is gone now). So now I have five weapons...I think:

Red9 with stock (being upgraded)
Semi-Auto Rifle with scope (being upgraded)
Striker (being upgraded)
Broken Butterfly (being upgraded)
TMP without stock (only upgrade capacity when I need it)

So after this and 4-4, I go to...the Island. Ooooh.

[Smashey]

Your almost done. Cool.

Yep. Maybe you should get another controller and finish it, too. Was that your only GameCube controller, or do you have others? If the camera keeps moving by itself, try pressing X+Y+Start and hold it for like three seconds and see if it stops moving.

Anyway, I'm (practically) at 5-1...I'm at the last save before 5-1, at 4-4. Anyway, I feel like posting...memorable moments.

First of all...damn. At 4-3 you had to fight four (I think) Dr. Salvadors. Luckily not all at once, but the villagers still back him up.

Then at 4-4 you have to waste so much ammo with all those Zealots chasing you, but then everything's made up for it. Why? Salazar. Damn, the fight with Salazar was fun. I died twice, but that was because of his one-hit-kill attack. The first time caught me off-guard, and I was trying to get away the second time, but I had to dodge one of the tentacles and it sent me back to be chewed up. =P

Luckily, the third time I didn't even need to use any healing items. I shot the eye, exposed Salazar, popped him full of lead eight times with my good ol' Broken Butterfly, and kept exposing him and then sniping him with my SAR. The awesome part was that after you kill him, you get 50,000 Pesetas, and eight barrels full of ammo and healing items. I'm feeling confident now that my Attache Case is full of ammo and healing items, but I know by the time I go to the Island that feeling'll be gone.

Wow, I completely got carried away with that post. Whatever. On to the Island...but I won't be happy about having to face Regenerators.

[Smashey]

Good luck with the regenerators that stick spikes out when they come close. I forgot the name.
It was my only controller that worked, I'll try what you said after I get back from this shore house.

I think those are Iron Maidens.

Anyway, right now I'm at the save right before getting the key that triggers the first Regenerator. ;>_>

I did get all the bottlecaps, though. Row D was the hardest because the game started out hard and only got tougher as you kept getting over 3000 as a score, but I finally did it. All bottlecaps, and a nice 50,000 Peseta reward for getting Row D.

Those Island soldiers are crazy. CRAZY. They even have stun rods. STUN RODS. Then there's this guy named J.J. who has this hulking rail gun.

And yeah, I guess I was right on why this game was scary. It's hard to survive. Seriously, one or two hits from a normal enemy will bring you down to half or below your health. =P

Oh yeah, I also bought the Tactical Vest. It says it reduces damage by 30%. I hope that's true. =P

[ShadowyOne]

I'm double posting...BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT.

Actually, it's because I finally beat Resident Evil 4! Damn, what a great game. Seriously, Chapter 5 was full of awesome. Regenerators were pretty creepy...especially WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ONE COMING FOR YOU. Iron Maidens weren't too bad because you only encountered three the entire game.

Let's recap the chapters...

5-1: REGENERATORS AAAGHHH
5-2: Bulldozer ride was kinda hard
5-3: AWESOME CHAPTER. It had the knife fight, U3, and the Krauser fight. Kickass.
5-4: Saddler's last stronghold, and I (and Mike in the heli) killed 'em all. And one more Regenerator.
Final Chapter: Fighting Saddler, which was awesome. I used the Rocket Launcher (Special), though. Whatever.

Dammit, I know there's a lot of stuff I want to say but I'm forgetting what. Oh well. They actually showed PLOT in Chapter 5. The game had a good story, but there wasn't enough of it. The ending was kinda meh, but all the cutscenes in Chapter 5 made up for it.

Now I'll play Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries...later on.
