Man, they give you so little bullets and you run out of them after you encounter one single zombie, this is retarded

>>715047907 (OP)
normal or hardcore? controller or mouse?

>WHAT THE FUCK THERE'S SURVIVAL IN MY SURVIVAL HORROR GAME I'M FREAKING OUT AAAAAAAAAAAAA
neck yourself, please

it's as if ammo is supposed to be scarce and a resource

>>715047907 (OP)
You're supposed to use bullets only if there's no way around whatever's blocking your way.

>>715047907 (OP)
try aiming at the head

>>715048319
literally not a damage increase

>>715047907 (OP)
The demake games are shit, but lack of ammo and handholding is not one of them.

>>715048319
>>715048359
Yeah, I was surprised to discover this too. You can still crit them but I'm not sure how the RNG works, although some weapons like the lightning hawk will crit every time.
Drawback to that is magnum ammo is even scarcer.

>>715048542
I saw a vidya reviewer explain how the headshot thing worked but I haven't seen the video since RE2 came out so I don't remember where exactly it's mentioned

>>715048542
>not sure how the RNG works
it's just a 10% chance. carcinogen mentions it in some speedrun.

>>715047907 (OP)
claire can kill zombies with one flame round, as long as you just stare at them until they fall down.

Leon's shotgun will always decapitate the head of zombies in one shot, just shoot the foot to stun it, then blast the head with a shotgun.

the shotgun and flame rounds in the game are useless other than killing zombies, don't hoard shotgun and flame rounds for bosses, they do jack shit damage

>>715047907 (OP)
I-IS THIS A FIVE YEAR OLD BAIT?
AAAHHHHHHH HELP ME UMBRELLA MAN I AM GOING INSAAAAAANE

You meet a girl in a zombie infested town and the first think you ask her is how is she doing. This is retarted. I am glad I refunded this shit, OG is better.

>>715048656
>>715048719
I usually just shot out their kneecaps and ran past them anyways
I spared no expense with the lickers though
total, complete, and ultimate licker death
fuck lickers
stun lock lickers
stab lickers
blow lickers up with grenade launchers

>>715049423
>You meet a girl in a zombie infested town and the first think you ask her is how is she doing
This is unironically what happens in the original though. Leon and Claire meet outside the cafe.
In the Remake they meet before they even get into the city and they drive in together.

>>715047907 (OP)
I was surprised about how much this game is just basically the original, but with journo camera

>>715049762
The only thing that would've made it better was if Capcom actually included proper A/B scenarios, but I think they either ran out of time or money or both, which is a shame.
The original's story meshed better together, it had more crossover between Leon and Claire which I would've loved to have seen in the Remake.
The Remake does improve on the late game pretty dramatically though, and Mr. X no longer being limited to scripted encounters and getting stalking you around the RPD was great.

>>715049762
forgot gif

>>715049015
Hold onto a few for the plant bois tho

>>715048656
I find that the headshot works quite annoyingly consistently
if you sneak up on a zombie from behind and shoot the base of the skull where it meets the brainstem meets the spine, you get a guaranteed head explosion
shooting from the front makes this much harder, in part because they're moving toward you and in part because you aim has aome variance

safer to systematically give them the black knight treatment

>>715049904
I gotta play both again. Probably back to back just to take notes. Pretty sure you could hear him stomping around and closing in on you around in the original. In both games, the photograph save room was the only escape for awhile

>>715050021
Also make sure you have secondaries because those fuckers instakill you if they grab you with nothing to shove in their mouth.

>>715050131
2nd around is a typo

>>715048359
they do have stronger stagger properties.

>>715049904
I did find a mod on nexus that mixed up the bosses a bit, so you would only fight half the bosses in each scenario (iirc A would fight G2 while B would fight G3, etc) as well as making a few other changes to feel more like classic RE2 in structure

aim for the head retard

>>715050131
Mr X is original is a complete joke, it’s super easy to just knock him out at every single encounter, and he doesn’t get back up until the next scripted encounter. And he also drops ammo when knocked out, sometimes more than it took to beat him.

What is the point of acid rounds?

>>715050440
ridiculously strong, seemingly persistent damage, very useful against G babies and boss fights

the forbidden technique of re2remake is just unloading a pistol into a zombie's chest rapid fire. if you have the ammo to spare and you need to get it down fast it's going to be faster and more reliable unloading center mass than going for a stagger or a crit on a smaller, harder to track target.

>>715050440
They're useful in specific situations.
>Acid Rounds do heavy damage to all enemies, albeit less than Flame Rounds. Zombies covered in acid will slough off their limbs, which is useful if the player can hit a group of them in the legs. They have an extremely high stun chance - lickers, G1, and G3 can be perpetually stunlocked by acid rounds until they die.
>Acid "sticks" a bit more consistently to enemies than flames. Acid rounds will do full damage against lickers on a wall or ceiling, who take greatly reduced damage from flame rounds due to extinguishing the fire when they fall.

>>715050440
They're really good at taking limbs off and worm zombies are so unthreatening they may as well be dead.
You can stunlock the G3 fight with them. Every time you hit him with one he goes into a pain animation that takes longer than your reload does. If you wait until he finishes animating and then shoot him again he doesn't even get to move the whole fight.

>>715047907 (OP)
They give you enough bullets to kill anything you see, at least on normal.
On higher difficulties, it's better to aim at their knees, a zombie crawling on the ground is basically harmless.

OP is DSP levels of shit isnt he?

>>715047907 (OP)
I had fun. It's a short game but the different scenarios add enough differences.
>Does my police station have a sign outside that says Dead Licker Storage?

>>715048094
Not in a police station you as a game design have to find a way into every room.

>>715050958
police stations are not armories

>>715049762
It's like the original if you've never played the original I guess.
Even ignoring how fucked up the remake's pacing is and how it completely falls apart after the first boss fight purely BECAUSE it's not following the original's outline, everything past the RPD itself is basically fanfiction that is vaguely reminiscent of RE2.

>>715050958
They also explain in the notes lying around that during the time between the outbreak and Leon arriving that the remaining unturned officers and civvies also fought with each other as well as the zombies, which knocked their supplies too.

>>715051031
It's funny because they have an armory but it's practically empty. They scattered ammo through the entire building instead.
At least they left the shotgun/grenade launcher in there.

>>715050730
>On higher difficulties, it's better to aim at their knees, a zombie crawling on the ground is basically harmless.
this is fine advice if you intend to finish the zombie off immediately but thinking you can leave crippled zombies around is one of the biggest noob traps in the game. the grounded zombie tackle is more damaging than a regular zombie bite and in any scenario where zombies are actually dangerous, in combo with mr. x or a licker, they're still a huge threat crawling towards you and blocking paths.

>>715051220
do you really think an outbreak is going to happen and the armory isnt going to be the first thing that gets cleaned out you are lucky there was a shotgun in it and imagine how boring the game would be if they just gave you 400 rounds at the start?

>>715047907 (OP)
Lower the difficulty, bud.

>remakefags debasing themselves over lore that got explained in the originals, which the remakes cut for no real reason
lel
Irons was fucking with the RPD and ordering rearrangement of equipment in the days leading to the full-scale outbreak. It's the in-universe explanation for why ammo is scattered around the building seemingly at random, why a gun upgrade is in a random locked drawer, why the armory is basically empty, etc.

>>715051468
>OP posts about remake.
>replies are specific to remake.
>b-but muh original.
Not relevant.

Post best Claire mods

>>715047907 (OP)
a few things to know about RE2 remake

1. each zombie/enemy in the game has a specific HP, so some might have 540, while some has just 200.

2. each gun has a specific firepower no matter what the difficulty. the final damage calculation is made from the difficulty, the reticule, and the part of the enemy hit and a RNG.

3. if you're leon, if the zombie has his hands raised coming at you, its immune from head decapitation, shoot the foot to stun it so you can decapitate its head.

4. the knife deals damage by fps/tick. so in 120fps, you can easily kill enemies with just a few swipes. with 240 fps, you deal so much damage per second, but you break the knife in 1 or 2 swipes.

5. the shotgun barrel extension does not upgrade the damage dealt by the shotgun, it only increases the range of the shotgun.

6. acid rounds does not guarantee a zombie kill, use flame rounds instead. if you are out of flame rounds with plant zombies, the sparkshot is enough to down them long enough to finish the section before they regenerate (but I have done Claire so many times, with killing zombies with flame rounds and the enhanced ammo, you would at least have 9 flame rounds by the time you reach the plant zombies area)

7. never use grenades as defensive weapons, they deal far less damage compared to tossing them

>>715049509
I played the original and Leon was not asking moronic questions while looking like his peepee got hard from seeing a girl. Not to mention it doesn´t have retarded adaptive difficulty.

>>715047907 (OP)
>>715050958
Zoomers are so god damn stupid it's unreal

>>715053103
What's moronic about asking a distressed person if they're alright? Especially considering they just encountered a bunch of zombies, which they were absolutely not expecting.
You make it seem like he was hitting on her, which he clearly isn't if you watch the cutscene.
