Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

[PracticalAl]

Played for a hour or two yesterday. Got to thinking that I would gladly trade in the L Button "strafing" for the knife instead. :I

Rebeccas loadout is amazing, managed to beat EX-LEVEL 9 with a Chris (using Jills loadout) and we got over 1.1 million points. I wish there be leaderboards to see how we rank up there.

Damn! How many waves did you guys go through?

Damn! How many waves did you guys go through?

As long as you clear all waves, or at least get close to finishing, you'll get 1+ mil. My high on EX9 is 1.5 mil...and I've only played that one twice. Definitely scored that high on the first try since the second time my partner kept getting downed.

They are 15 waves and i guess 1 million is common

Ouroboros Wesker kicks ass. I like hes desing better than the one in RE5.

[PracticalAl]

Oh, I didn't know clearing it would automatically get that many points. Thanks! Well I played the 4-5 Survival mission with someone online last night. They were playing as Office Claire. (And she had the skill that adds electricity to melee, haha..) Has anyone played with Office Claire yet? She has a pretty good loadout! We got through all 15 waves, but sadly didn't keep the combo. I wish I could of communicated with the person to tell them sorry about the lag. Has anyone had any lag online? It's weird for me. Only the enemy deaths lag for me. It's odd, and it can really throw me off..

I like Uroboros Wesker too. I like using him, but with Krauser's loadout.

[Dracarys]

I often get lag where I stun shot an enemy so I can melee them, run up to them, I can see the melee icon but I cannot melee them, then once the stun animation ends and they are back to normal you can melee them. Works on bosses too but you rarely see it since limited bosses compared to regular enemies.

Ruins combos sometimes.

Alright, guys, couple of questions:

Was 80 hours to complete with all the characters a realistic number?

Is there anything remotely resembling story in the game at all? Files, profiles, anything?

Cheers.

[Dracarys]

Probably not 80 but doing some rough math at least 50 to do everything solo with every character/costume (assuming you are playing to your best since that means games last longer), then there is the duo mode which would double it almost.

No story or files, profiles...hmm, technically, but to type Jills entire profile: "Behind her beautiful looks lies a highly dependable soldier", or perhaps Wesker: "Whether on the main stage or behind the scenes, his influence over all incidents is unmistakable". Oh, and blood type, height and weight, cannot forget those massive details!


To run though every mission once takes maybe 3-4 hours, again playing properly makes it take longer.

Alright, guys, couple of questions:

Was 80 hours to complete with all the characters a realistic number?

It takes me 15-20 minutes solo to kill all 150 enemies and SS rank a later stage (from 4-1 to EX-8. EX-9 can take a bit longer). This is generally after 9+ minutes in time extensions with 5+ second melee bonuses - given no timer+ skills are attached. How speedy it takes a person to SS a stage depends on his or her playstyle; in my case I use Chris's loadout with no skills attached. I am a pure melee player so my games will last longer - and score higher - than a player who just kills off the bat.

So in my case, solo SS'ing the EX stages alone as a Chris loadout/no skills slots player who melees every enemy will be roughly 2-3 hours for a single character. Add 30 minutes more for EX-9. Completing with all 8 characters, would be roughly 24 hours/EX1-8 + 4 hours for EX9.

80 hours does seem like a realistic number for a player new to the Merc scene, but veteran players who use tactics such as quick-aim, quick-pivot, quick-reload, and with a RE4/5 background will have no problem completing the game in 50 hours or less - considering said player plays stages consistently and numerically, which no one ever does. Everyone has their favorite stages that they like to replay, so estimating completion time is very situational.

Is there anything remotely resembling story in the game at all? Files, profiles, anything?

Cheers.

The only text you'll see related to story is the Profile text at the select screen. Blood Type, Weight, Height and a short bio at the bottom. No age text, considering we see CV Claire with RE5 Chris.

"Do you have what it takes to survive the vicious onslaught of Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W) and once-human creatures driven mad by parasites?"

That's from the instruction booklet. ..That's pretty much the story.. There's not even an opening scene to explain any of the RE history.. I can't help but think that if I was completely unfamiliar with the RE series, and played this game, I'd be wondering why the hell I'm shooting all these African and Spanish villagers.. >__>;..

Capcom is annoying me lately

I get lag often. Usually it effects my attempts at picking up ammo, so I tend to run out and it makes it fairly annoying.

Saw a bunch of you guys on last night around 11:45pm EST. I really wanted to jump in play with someone, but I was already in an online match! Was playing EX-9, and that mission takes foreeevvveerrrr. Made it to the last wave only to be cornered by two chainsaw ganados, back to back with my partner. We both threw grenades and despite them being in range, they did not stun the chainsaw ganados.. I hate when that happens..

Anyone get teleporting enemies while playing online? It was freaking me out last night. They just jump around the screen. Thank God it only seems to happen with weaker enemies. Can't imagine if executioners started teleporting. ..

[Wrathborne]

Teleporting executioners? Don't give Capcom ideas!

[Wrathborne]

You're shooting at them because they want to kill you, why do they want to kill you? You stole their teddy bears.

[PracticalAl]

Don't worry. I'm sure whatever CAPCOM comes up with next will be much stupider..*cough cough BOW mind control in Operation Raccoon City cough cough*

You're shooting at them because they want to kill you, why do they want to kill you? You stole their teddy bears.

I'm superimposing that in the story section in the instruction booklet. :I..
