Resident Evil 4

[Dr. Boogie]

Anyone who's heard Jim Gaffigan's joke about Heat knows what I'm going through.


I got the PS2 version the other day. Once I found out that dead spaniards drop ammo and money, the whole thing became like an arcade game for me. So now, I'm stuck in the village because I keep trying to kill everyone and get Ph4t l007.

Are you supposed to just run to that one farmhouse and keep running after that cutscene with the chainsaw guy?



And yes, I could go to GameFAQs, but where's the fun in that?

[Mad Melvin]

Why don't you just kill it?

[Dr. Boogie]

I haven't tried yet. I've mainly just been working on killing the big group of villagers that appear before you go into the house. I only went in the house once, and then I was too distracted by the villagers coming through the window (that I accidentally shot open) to notice that the chainsaw guy had chopped through the door and was right behind me.

[Mad Melvin]

Well if thats the case, then yes. You should run. Its best to kill those chainsawguys outside. Best bet is to shoot them in the head with the shotgun or throw grenades at them. They eat up a lot of ammo, but you usually get a ruby from the corpse.

[Ninjavenom]

You can't really kill the chainsaws in the beginning without many concentrated shotgun blasts to the head

[Zomboid]

Ha, pussies. I almost shit myself the first time one of those guys came bursting through a door at me but I took him out pretty damn quick. I loaded my game though cause I wanted to see what it looked like when he killed me.

I was suprised how brutal that death sequence is. The saw actually takes a little time to cut through the bone and it looks quite realistic.

[Yggdrasill]

I hate the one who goes all crazy with the double chainsaw. You can't run from him for very long.

i dont remember seeing that enemy in the regular game. There was a bunch of them in one of the mercenaries levels, though.

[Yggdrasill]

I would hate the chainsaw enemies the most if it wasn't for the regenerators. Shooting one's leg off so I could try to kick it was the worse mistake I ever made in a video game. :(

[Mad Melvin]

yeah I tried to slow one down by shooting its leg off. Those bastards are even more deadly when theyre down.

[Emu]

When you get upstairs, take all the ammo and whatever, and then to your right there's a window you can bust open. Take out whoever's on the roof, then go out and jump down to ground level and take out the other villagers while the chainsaw guy is still messing around in the house.

[Ninjavenom]

Oh yeah, i also nearly shit my pants at how gory all of the death scenes are. It's funny because Jack Thompson doesn't give a shit about this game, in which you can have your face melted off, but beating a hooker to death is just crossing the line.

[Immortal Goat]

I think it's because for some reason parents realize a game called "Resident Evil" has some bad shit in it. I don't know why that doesn't translate to a title like Grand Theft Auto, but people are stupid.

Mabye he just doesn't like rockstar?

[Lye]

i doubt he has even heard of it, it sounds like the only games he knows of are the ones that people tell him about.

[ArrowX]

The Novistadors (melty face) and the Impalement after you fall in the pit are friggin cool.

I think I posted this in the previous Resi4 thread, but here it is again for those who havent seen it.

Fuck the Iron Maiden :(

Its a good political move to attack something you actually have a chance at beating.

Hahaha, he's in his Raccoon Police Dept. outfit in that one. :lol

[Mad Melvin]

Thats why its called "hilarity". And you forgot to mention the wacky music in the backround.

[ArrowX]

The racoon costume sucked in this game :(

[Zomboid]

YOU SUCK ALL THE TIME SO I WOULDN'T FUCKING TALK.

[ArrowX]

jeez pal calm it down a bit.

:tear

[thebiggameover]

fuck game faq. i dont wnat to spoil any of this game soooooo...

what path should i take? chainsaw nuns or big org guy?

[Guitar Woman]

I got this last night as an early christmas present from my roommate. I opened it early because I already knew what it was, and because we both wanted to play it so bad.

She might as well have given me crack.

[the_dudefather]

i think the chainsaw sisters are probobly easier, though i only did the giant cave troll thing after getting the chicago typewriter (infinite ammo tommy gun) so i cant say which is easier :P

[EisigerBiskuit]

The sisters totally kicked my ass. Go with the ogre.

[Mad Melvin]

I didn't get past the second ogre. :(
So I went with the sisters. I was low on ammo, but It wasnt so hard. When you jump down in that hole and the cutscene ends, just run up the ladder, go someplace safe and use the sniper.

[the_dudefather]

have to play this again, nearly got enough cash for the infinite rocket launcher, and i fancy playing it in hard mode :)

[Ninjavenom]

Pro mode assaults with some of the best puzzles in the game, and they're not necessarily "puzzles". Remember the room where there are two pools and a bunch of guys rush you from front, left, and right, and you need to turn the crank to pull down the stairs that lead to where asholey needs to turn cranks and you snipe? They add two archers there, and believe it or not, it makes the room a whole fucking lot more difficult. It's great because you are forced, for the beginning of the game, at least, to devise more clever ways of disposing of your foes, and you will finally value flash grenades.

[ArrowX]

I already love FLash grenades, its an instant kill on any of the parasites. And I'll be goddamned if you can do something cooler with HUNK than swiming through a crowd breaking necks.

[Zomboid]

I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I killed both the second giganto AND the chainsaw bitches. You get a lot of extra loot :O

[Ninjavenom]

You can only do one or the other, but you get the same amount of gold from both sisters or gigante 2.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I re-loaded and did both then cause I know I wanted to try either way :/

[Dr. Boogie]

You can do both routes. You just have to go back and change the gate switch.

For the El Gigante route, I just bought an RPG because I was low on ammo. Some people say you can drop the two huge boulders on him, but I've never been able to do that. Instead, I just dropped one in front of him, and while he was preoccupied with destroying it, I shot him with the shotgun until he fell over, and then blasted the parasite with the RPG.

For the chainsaw sisters, if you use select to skip the cutscene, you'll actually gain a second or two while one of them busts through the wall. Just run up the ladder and run back towards the ladder that first got you onto those walkways. Then, you just blast the two of them with the shotgun once they get together, and nail them in the head with the rifle a few times while they lie on the ground. Repeat as necessary.

[Zomboid]

Yeeeeaaaah. Good, I wasn't crazy when I thought I did both routes :(

I think I hit gigante with the boulder and then just shot the shit outta him with red9, and then shot at the thing on his face with a magnum. Fucked him up good.

[Marine]

lets see now...
i have found every secret and treasure.
i have done the both routes after the cabin.
my game is now on round eleven.
i have the chicago typewriter, infinite rocketlauncher and the handcannon.
and my money is about fifteen millions so i can buy and tune up anything i want.

too bad for me that it was the gamecube version :tear

[executioneer]

and wasn't it a life-affirming experience :eek

Instead, I just dropped one in front of him, and while he was preoccupied with destroying it, I shot him with the shotgun until he fell over, and then blasted the parasite with the RPG.

When you first come into the gigante route, you gotta step back a little bit, whip out your shotgun and aim up, and just fire. I say the shotgun because it has a wide range and you're more or less guaranteed to hit the platform. He shoudl be directly under it by the time you fire. Then shoot him in the knees while he's stunned.

[ArrowX]

What surprised me about this game in both a negative and positive way is its attention to reality. Even though most of it shouldn't be possible they kept most of the boss fights with reasonable realism but too much to the point where EVERY boss fight can be finished with on or two rounds from the rocket launcher, I think this detracted from the games scary.

[Guitar Woman]

That's because only fag pussy bitches need the Rocket Launcher.

[ArrowX]

I don't need no rockets I'll opt for the Red nine and the shotgun any day!

[the_dudefather]

agreed, red 9 is an awesome gun :))

especialy when its souped up with all the upgrades

[ArrowX]

Ok Out of Pride I am going to get the Handcannon! I currently only have two 5star rankings with hunk and nobody else. Does anyone have any tips on playing as Ada or Wesker because I cna't beat shit wiht them

[Emu]

For Ada and especially Wesker, use the Semi-Automatic Rifle in short range. You cant ake out tons of enemies if they get in a line and you make a headshot. Also, it'll kill the big motherfucker with the wolverine claws on the castle stage.

[ArrowX]

I must have lost my touch at this game, I had always had 4 stars with leon but now I'm lucky if I finish one round alive :(

[Guitar Woman]

Wait, I seem to recall wesker getting his face impaled by the Tyrant in RE1. Or was that just the remake? Or is this some wierd thing they put in for nostalgic purposes?

[Ninjavenom]

No, he's definitely alive. Finish Operation Ada and you'll see.

When using Wesker, don't use the killer7 unless either the sisters, JJ, or dr. salvador show up. In the castle stage you can go hog fucking nuts with it, really, but i would advise only using it in a jam. The castle is one of the easiest areas with Wesker because of this. Also, try to hit more than one enemy with the Chikyo Chagi move when you use it. If you use the Thrust Punch on a bunch of guys, hurl an incendiary grenade at them for mad rapeage.


You can do both routes. You just have to go back and change the gate switch.

I stand corrected. Sorry!

Also, if you used the rockets to finish any bosses except Verdugo or Saddler, you are a weiner. You can finish most of the boss fights without even taking a hit, and you don't even have to be that good at the game to do so. It's pretty much just about location.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I ended up just taking out saddler with my killer 7. Such a good gun :(

[the_dudefather]

i remember carting around a rocket launcher for ages (the one you find in the castle), i think i used it on one of the el gigantes you see later in the game, but it was a pain in the ass as it took up so much inventory space (and i felt that if i sold it i would have needed it 5 minutes later or something)

[Emu]

He didn't get impaled, he just got bashed.

Wesker's not in the actual game, he's in the "Mercenaries" minigame.

[Ninjavenom]

Like i said, finish Operation: Ada. She also mentions him by name in one of the cutscenes.


When they give you the rocket in the castle, save it for the sewers when you fight verdugo. When you kill him, he drops a piece of the Salazar Family Crown, which is worth $48,000 when completed. Very good to have when saving up for the special guns.

[ArrowX]

Wesker is very alive. He was almost dead after the Spence incident, but its assumed he contracted a strain of the T-Virus afterwards, he then went to Rofort (Cove Veronica) then its kind of assumed he escapes at the end. He needs to be in 5 if he isn't I'll cry

[Marine]

For Ada and especially Wesker, use the Semi-Automatic Rifle in short range. You cant ake out tons of enemies if they get in a line and you make a headshot. Also, it'll kill the big motherfucker with the wolverine claws on the castle stage.



actually the sound of a handgrenade blast will make him collaps for a couple of seconds if you are fast with the killer7 you should be able to pull this trick off pretty fast.

[Ninjavenom]

Or you can just wail him in the chest a few times or in the back twice. He's no threat to Krauser or Wesker.

[Marine]

true...

but i still like the handgrenades best.
