Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[Dot50Cal]

Wow, fuck Arrange mode. I was FINE health, no saves, all the way up to the battery part where you can view the helipad. All of a sudden, three fucking crows bust their way in and INSTA attack me. I had no chance of dodging it. So I run to the battery to grab it and NOPE, all three of them do a dive bomb, instantly killing me. Worst room in the game. WORSE THAN HUNTERS, WHICH WHERE FUCKING EVERYWHERE in the arrange mode. What a terrible thing it is to have an infinite enemy combo chain like that. Look at this shit:


Also spotted a fuckup due to the new camera angles. When Chris is coming back from the Guardhouse and gets Richard's radio, the angle resets Chris' position (which is normally obscured due to the angle). On Arrange mode its not, so you see Chris warp:


Yawn was also ridiculously hard the second time. He took 12 shots from a magnum and still wanted more. This was even after killing him the first time.

^ Crows, serious business. You gotta love Arrange mode.

Shouldn't laugh, because I know you're frustrations, but that .gif is all too hilarious.

[Vector]

Hahahah, wow. Hahaha. If I were you, I'd be furious...that fuckin' sucks. Absolutely hilarious, though.

[Stars1356]

Damn I thought those crows only came out if you look at the heliport? I remember in the regular version you don't really need to go in that room.

CROWABUNGA!

Should be the new banned.gif. Have Carn, DM and Alexia's names on the crows.

Arrange mode, now you know what I was crying about.

[Dot50Cal]

Well, shit. I just found out TRAINING mode is a seperate save repository from STANDARD. So now I gotta beat each copy of Directors Cut 6 times.

Fan-Fucking-Tastic.

Also, something was kinda fucked up in STANDARD mode for Jill's scenario. Jill has a third Chimera in the 2nd boiler room in the B3 labs. Usually, this is only there when you are playing as Chris. This is the only version to have this.

[Dot50Cal]

lol. Just beat a Jill training mode.

Director's Cut TRAINING notes:
Auto-Aim
Double ink ribbon pickups (6 instead of 3)
Double ammo pickups (for all ammo pickups)
Weaker enemies
Player character is considerably tougher
Jill's scenario still has the third chimera in the 2nd boiler room.

Just on save collecting alone I've beaten the game 18 times with the best ending so far. I can't imagine what the actual count is, probably nearly 40 now.

I'm wondering if the "easy" Advanced mode has a penalty, or its own specific save? Anyone care to try? Hold right on ADVANCED and then beat the game. Re-play the New Game + and lemme know if you still have double pickups. If so, fuccccckkkk, thats 8 plays per directors cut copy (including dual shock ones ughhhh).

I wonder if non dual shock saves are compatible with the dual shock version..

Also, holy shit @ fast zombies in arrange mode. Totally wasn't expecting that (or the beretta head pop-age)

Edit: Ahh fuck.

And if Jill's name is in green, but the rest of the name is red, does that mean it's a easy version of Advanced/Arrange mode

[Carnivol]

Should be the new banned.gif.

It needs a photoshopped "You're banned" game over screen. Heck... it should appear on the screen that tells users that they've been banned.

I just played through Deadly Silence on Classic mode on both Chris and Jill. The games are a lot easier then I remember them being. Is it just Deadly Silence which is easier or am I now a pro ;). I'm not really that good at the games I just love them so I was surprised I managed to do it so easily.

[randomwab]

Classic mode in Deadly Silence isn't really classic. I noticed a big difference in difficulty going back to the PSX version. I think they made the game overall easier for both modes on DS.

In REDC, I always heard/read that Training was equal to the Japanese game, Normal equal to the Westerner version, and Advance was the "new" mode.

In Advance, I feel that the new zombies are just a bad joke, because they are the one which head always explode in one gun shot. So it's not "Oh my God, usually there are 2 zombies in this room, and now there are 3 of them, how can I survive?" but really "OK, here are my 2 regular zombies, which require the regular amount of bullets. I just need to remember to save one extra bullet for the new zombie".

Sorry for the rant, but this really annoys me
