/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1095735

Is it possible to beat this guy /vr/? or do I need better ammo?

You need to stop playing the worst Resident Evil ever.

See, I don't even think of how you could get stuck in this place.

But you can also get stuck even more easily against that woman boss in the replica of RE1 mansion and also against the Tyrant in the airplane.

With no other solution than to restart the game from scratch.

Horrible game design.

>>1095738
Don't care if its "bad" I like to be the judge of that myself.

Besides, I'm doing an RE: run, so it's mandatory.

>>1095738
But anon, that's not resident evil 6!

How are you so low on ammo? Start all over and knife everyone

>>1095745
>Knife
>Veronica

You don't start with one, you start with the lighter.

Hell, you don't even start with your gun.

>>1095749
Once you have the knife though it's the most useful weapon in the game. Knife up till they fall, then knife down and never waste a round

>>1095749
It's on the desk by the jailer right at the start of the game

Old RE is overflowing with unfair and bullshit difficulty. Got scratched a few times? Health items are over, fuck you. Spent a few more bullets than you had to, or killed a zombie or another you were "supposed to avoid"? Fuck you. Want to save but no bullshit ribbons? Fuck you. Died in a hard boss you couldn't figure the pattern and want to continue or try again? Fuck you. Didn't find and get enough ammo and supplies? Fuck you. Screwed up? Fuck you and start all over again. Don't even get me started on the controls, that tank shit SUCK, I'm glad they scrapped it, it's impossible to actually like that shit.

>>1095743
RE6 is the best game in the series.

Veronica is a shit, terrible designed game.

>>1095735
> camera placement is shit
> controls are clunky and shit
> his attacks are fast, non-telegraphed and can happen off-screen

One of the worst RE games ever.

>>1095783
Mah nigga.

>>1095805
No, 5 is.

>>1095806
RE really started with RE4. The old titles are BAAAAAAAAAAAD.

So I managed to down him with nine bullets to the arm

Shit was impossible and took like ten tries.

>>1095819
>>1095805

both of you are huge faggots.

RE 2 is the best RE game made, the re makes are god-teir, especially RE1 remake on the gamecube.

new RE is fun, don't get me wrong, but they've lost the charm of the old school, of the puzzles, and story, and fear.

go have a threesom with a goat faggots

>>1095783
git gud shitter

>>1095783
>Being this casual
All of your complaints are just the result of you being shit. Don't worry, the new RE games should be right up your alley.

>>1095834
>RE2 and RE3 remakes
>Good

There is no difference other then using an analog stick, which is outright terrible for an RE game

>>1095834
>Charm of puzzles

So what about this do you find charming again?

i bet you never played RE-1 on the ps-x

Fuck RE

Dino crisis was better

>>1095846
I have, Three time infact, one being just a few days ago. didn't give me nearly as much trouble as veronica is

>>1095845
>Not liking challenging puzzles
Excuse Capcom for wanting you to use your brain. I'm sorry that never worked out for you.

>>1095834
>RE2 is the best RE game made
>having such an terrible opinion

>>1095738
But that's not Resident Evil 4, 5 or 6. Sure it's a bad Resident Evil but those other three are worse than this one.

>5 Resident Evil threads

It's like another Shoah! Oy vey!

>>1095735
back to the last save, then

>Caring which Resident Evil is better and trying to force your opinion on others

Terrible. Every Resident Evil has good and bad parts, what should be important is everyone having fun with whatver Resident Evil games they like.

>>1095901
Don't bring the Jews into this.

>>1095845
That's one of the best puzzles in the game.

This thread is full of terrible opinions.

Welcome to RECV, OP: run past as many zombies and monsters as you can (to save ammo) and save like a mad man.

Also, be glad in the fact that this has happened to you so early in the game. I once made it to the final boss with very limited ammo. Imagine my rage.

>>1095738
>You need to stop playing the worst Resident Evil ever.
it's an excellent game. stop.

>>1095783

How about stop sucking? If you are stuck, it means you fucked up. It's a lesson. Go and replay it.

>>1095913

I'm pretty sure it's just one or two retards shitposting due to the amount RE threads there are going.

RE is one of my most favored series' since it came out and all, but there should really just be one thread, for the sake of organization.

DINO CRISIS

>>1095924
Oooh, I remember doing a no-save run on Gun Survivor. Hard difficulty, kill the final boss's first form, don't actually have enough ammo to kill the blob form. About 5 hours of play down the drain.

>>1095978
>no-save run on Gun Survivor.
But... you can't save in Gun Survivor.

>don't actually have enough ammo to kill the blob form
Oh you mean Dead Aim. Excellent game, most underrated RE. However ammo for handgun is illimited in this one...

>>1095738
I got stuck at the Tyrant. Not enough ammo. And I've played and beat multiple other RE's so I know you have to conserve ammo like a jew. Even though I had five saves none of them would remedy this problem. I agree with you by the way, terrible game design. This game is now on my backlog because of this and has been there quite some time, thinking I have to use a guide when I actually try to beat it.

I would call Code:Veronica the worst of the classic-style RE games.

Ugly graphics, unlikeable characters, mind-numbing music and a final boss that makes you want to snap the disc in two for all the wrong reasons.

Not to mention it was the kick-off game for the "Wesker is at the core of everything" bullshit.

>>1096165
don't bother. Play Dead Aim instead if you haven't played that.

also funny how nobody has noticed that this thread is about a Dreamcast game, thus not belonging on /vr/ according to this board's rules

>>1096173
>Not to mention it was the kick-off game for the "Wesker is at the core of everything" bullshit.

Yep. That plotline is pants on head stupid.

>>1095738

>Tyrant in the airplane

That shit was just inexcusable.

>>1096173
>mind-numbing music

Okay yeah, the opera shit does get annoying fast.

old re is shit, i got them from psn. looks like shit too lol
re 5 is the best

>>1095894
As story goes? yes. But that's really it. CV had awful gameplay mechanics and piss poor design. Like the Anon said, you can get in situations where you can't beat it. Not that it's hard,but straight out can not win because you didn't gather enough ammo and/or used to much of it hours back in the game. It's just like those old Sierra adventure games where you had to magically know what to do next or you would get stuck at an impassable point because of something you did/didn't do hours ago.

>>1096219
that's the case with all old RE. they all suck for the same reasons.

>>1096219
> Not that it's hard,but straight out can not win because you didn't gather enough ammo and/or used to much of it hours back in the game.

Oh no. It's worse than that.
The boss fight with Chris agaisnt that mutant woman in the RE1 mansion replica takes place as you directly switch back to Chris, after a couple of hours playing as Claire. Directly into the boss fight.

Which means that, if you didn't have enough ammo in Chris inventory at the moment it abruptly switches to claire at least 2 hours before that, you're fucked. EVEN if you played really well and saved tons of ammo that you put in your safe. And of course, since the last couple of hours were played as Claire, you have no idea, and chances are your last save will be as Claire.
So, not only you can get fucked, but not even be able to knwo you're fucked after several hours of play.

Absolutely ridiculous.

>>1096232
1 2 and 3 were not. They all peppered weapons and ammo around enough to where it was very hard to screw yourself over. Yes it could lead to a hard boss fight but it was still beatable, normally it was a question of how accurate you had to be. Code V pretty much fucks you over several times and you have no chance of recovery.

>>1096232
Not nearly as bad as CV did, plus the other games had means to compensate for their shortcomings content-wise. CV does not.

>>1096246
>>1096248
less of an issue but still an issue. and there are other flaws. the controls mainly. re controls SUCK dongs lots of dongs.

>>1096246

I think you're talking with a troll.

>>1095894

Resident Evil 4 is great.

Good job trying as hard as you can to fit in though, faggot. 5 is easily the worst of the bunch.

>>1096232
Except that's not true at all except maybe for RE2 but that one is the one with the msot ammo.

In RE1 there is only TWO bosses which you HAVE to kill using your own weapons ammo : the 2nd form of the Yawn, and the Tyrant in the lab, said Tyrant which can actually be killed in about 12-13bullets of the handgun you start the game with.
Every other boss you don't have to kill. You can avoid them completely. That includes the spider : you can knife the web of the exit and leave the room without killing it, HELLfew people know that but you can even make the spider spit on the web so that the web goes away and you can use the door. (Check my Chris no save knife only run here at 1h06 mins for that http://www.livestream.com/survivalhorror/video?clipId=pla_cf97a88a-f135-42c2-9a1f-1592b995f68f )
and if you really wanted to kill it, when playing as Chris, you're handed over a flamethrower.

In RE3, there is only the Nemesis fight at the clock tower where you have to use your own ammo. For the giant worm, first time, you can just active the ladder and leave. 2nd time, if you wait long enough he'll just die lol. For the final boss, you can use the big laser in the room to kill it all.

The best RE games are designed in such ways because developers knew what they were doing. Not the case with CV.

>>1096284
The best RE games are from 4 onwards. Pretty much all of them before that SUCKED!

>>1096306
so does ur mum

>>1096173
>mind-numbing music
It's one of the best soundtracks of the classic REs, easily.

>>1096280
>5 is easily the worst of the bunch.
I'm sorry you don't have friends.

>>1096195
Because who would ever think that the tyrant would come back to life straight after you had killed it? They never did THAT in the older games.

>>1096173
>Ugly graphics
Wat. It was the best looking game on the DC at the time. Also, it isn't retro, so:
>>>/v/

>>1095845

I never understood how people found that difficult. The puzzle was logical and only took a little effort.

That fucking vaccine puzzle was bullshit though, just press buttons and pull levers until the puzzle solves itself. I've never found anyone who could explain the logic behind that puzzle to me.

>>1096465
>Playstation

Its retro.

I made it to the final boss with an ass load of ammo...BUT CLAIRE FUCKING HAD IT!!!! I was so fucking pissed that they did that shit, couldn't even finish the game man

No really, thats just plain ol bad game design, because you would have no way of knowing when you were gonna switch characters and for how long unless you read a guide. To play so smart just to get screwed at the very end, god it still haunts me.

>>1096504
C:V was released on the Playstation 2, not the Playstation.

>>1096465
Anon is safe do to this:
>the worst of the classic-style RE games.

>>1096494
>That fucking vaccine puzzle was bullshit though, just press buttons and pull levers until the puzzle solves itself. I've never found anyone who could explain the logic behind that puzzle to me.

There is a model shown (iirc on the right).
You have 3 bars you can move.
You have to move them so that, if you make an addition of all 3, the result is the same as the model.

Simple.

>>1096465
Yes, the game was praised for its graphics on release. The graphics are still shit. YOu know why? Because reviewers and most people only care about technical aspect : sure it had "great" graphics because it was in full3D with TONS OF POLYGONS (OMG POLYGONS UNTIL I CANT COUNT THEM ANYMORE!!!); but we say the graphisc are shit because they are bland, too clean, lifeless, with barely any detail. In comparaison, RE2 and RE3 had tons of details in their backgrounds. Tons. CV has nothing.

>>1097526
no wait the model is on the top like shown>>1095845

>>1096150
>Oh you mean Dead Aim. Excellent game, most underrated RE.

Yeah, no. The enemies aren't threats at all. You can literally run past everything. And not this super stealthy dodge-and-weave as you approach zombies at just the right angle method of running past stuff. You just run in a straight line.

The plot was also pretty terrible, involving some no-name schmuck from Umbrella and throwing T+G in to a blender because the writers were creatively bankrupt.

0 is best

>>1097526
Your mother should have swallowed you.

>>1096173
>mind-numbing music

I don't know, the save room music is pretty awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmlrVpHQqh0

I'd say people complain too much about CV. I thought there were plenty of memorable visuals, and I liked the way variations of Berceuse worked their way in to the rest of the sound track.

>>1096280
No it's not great at all, you must have forgot all the time escorting and protecting Ashley Graham for so much of the game.

I don't play Resident Evil to do an escort mission.

>>1097526
The vaccine puzzle he meant is in the hospital. You have to make 2 bars reach the same level, and honestly I also couldn't see any logic behind it, I always pressed buttons randomly till it solved itself.

>>1098308
Oh, THAT. Yeah there is no logic. Each valve is set to an ammount of pressure it takes down or up.

It's one of the few puzzles that only has one version, which remains the same in every playthrough (while most other puzzles have 2 or 3 versions).

IIRC the solution to it is I and III on the top rown and A on the lower row.

>>1098298
Sincerely, there is very few moments where escorting her is a problem. Most of the time you can tell her to wait in a safe spot and in some moments even hide her in dumpsters. Only that forced fight in the castle can be a problem but I like it for the challenge: you have to be fast, aim presicely, and make good use of all weapons.

>>1095783
It ain't called survival horror just for shits and giggles.

>>1098352
That part in the castle where you have to get Ashley to work turn the lever while a bunch of mexican accent spaniards try to rape her was fucking horrible. Only part of the game that I actually hated. I always save my rifle ammo for that part.

>>1095736
Nope, go back and get the bowgun. Also, explosive bolts take down bandersnatches in one shot. Make a lot of them, they're hilariously useful.

>>1099003
I hated the first time I found out it was possible to lock yourself out of the bowgun for good.
