How do I get more ammo? (RE7)

I’m about to do the Jack chainsaw bossfight, but I don’t think I have enough ammo. In total, I have 3 shotgun shells and 30 pistol ammo, and I will need to use a lot of it on the molded in the basement.

I’ve come across a couple of boxes that might contain ammo (the red ones) but I don’t have any lockpicks to open them with. I also hate walking around the house as I keep getting chased by Jack.

Do you think I have enough ammo for the Jack bossfight and dissection room? If not, how do I get more ammo?

Just late night thoughts..

Is anyone else really kinda hoping they make a remake for RE5 that still includes the split/multi-player feature? I would love to see what they would do to update the story - if at all. Graphics, character models, character phrases, etc. I'm so desperate for more RE co-op games in the future so my fiancé and I can play together more. We loved the original and obviously have no issue playing the original. I just think it'd be cool to kinda throw something new out in the sense of co-op. :)

Vr is perfection

I've not played all the RE games, however of those I've played, RE4 is easily my favorite, and whilst the remake was actually pretty amazing(minus the knife decay) I gotta say, the absolute best resident evil experience I've had has gotta be classic RE4 in VR, that duel wield and bein up close an personal with las plagas hasn't been beaten yet, have yall tried it?

I was wrong about Resident Evil 5. (My honest review)

  Recently I convinced myself to play through Resident Evil 5, which was a game that I was a bit nervous about playing. I’ve always been a fan of the Resident Evil franchise, RE4 being my personal favorite in the series. One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Resident Evil was the horror aspect of the games. RE2R, Biohazard, RE4R, and even Village I felt were very effective when it came to ways to make me feel unsafe or even uncomfortable. I was skeptical about playing 5 and 6 however, largely due to the fact I can’t go anywhere without hearing that the games “aren’t horror” and more action based. Because of this, I distanced myself from those games. This changed after I finished the RE4 remake, and I was craving to play another Resident Evil game. I finally caved in and bought RE5 and started a playthrough on it, to which I learned that I was wrong.

  I was pleasantly surprised by the fifth entry in the series, as it turned out to be different than what I originally expected. By no means would I call this game a “horror” game, but to say it wasn’t entertaining would be a lie. I enjoyed playing Resident Evil 5, and it’s a game I can see myself returning to at some point in the future. The game isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t make it into my top 3 for best RE games, but it has a lot of things that stand out. Albert Wesker easily takes the cake for being hands down the best villain in the franchise. His design, voice acting, and overall portrayal is something that’s hard to replicate for other characters. Although it doesn’t land high on the scare spectrum, I do believe the action scenes are done in a very good manner (Can’t go without mentioning Chris punching the hell out of a boulder).

  The game does have some flaws though that I can’t go without pointing out. I wasn’t a big fan of the boss fight level designs. In particular, I thought the segment where you had to fight the giant on the back of the truck with the machine gun was stupid and lazy. The Uroborus Mkono fight was confusing due to the fact they seemed to promote using the flamethrower against it which I quickly realized that it didn’t do that much damage to it and made my playthrough longer than it should’ve been. Lastly, when you’re fighting Wesker at the end in the volcano, I ended up purchasing the rocket launcher because of the lack of ammo I had and the little ammo that level provided you with. 

  Overall though, Resident Evil 5 wasn’t the game I thought it was going to be. The biggest thing holding it back in my opinion is time, as I don’t think it has aged the best by today’s standards. Based on what we saw at the end of RE4R and Capcom's current pattern of releasing new games and remakes, I think it’s safe to say that a remake of 5 is on its way and I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll do with it.

How is RE5 on PS4/PS5?

5 was my first Resident Evil on 360 back in 2009. Never played another Resident Evil until 2,3,4 remake before I tried and beat 7 and 8. Been thinking about giving 5 ago again as I've been geeking out and watching lore videos on YouTube and I'm wondering how well 5 holds up and what the best console version of it is. Thanks in advance. Happy Surviving.

I just got screwed by "Lisa" in the REmake.

At least I'm assuming it's Lisa based on the comic on the subreddit. I guess I'm supposed to feel sympathetic for her backstory or whatever but it's a bad fucking start when she undoes 3 hours of exploration because I DARED to be stingy about my saves when the game makes savings a RESOURCE. Of course! the game that has been teaching not to waste my ammo is gonna throw a surprise bossfight at me and punish me for not saving!

What's fucking worse is I was going to save. But I saw where to put the wind crest thing and wanted to do that first, then BOOM this fucking homunculus boss fight and dead.

I was really liking this game but something that will ruin any game is having to backtrack a lot and I've gotta backtrack a fuckton.

Don't even get me started on fighting the crow room again holy fucking shit I may never pkay this game again just so I never have to do that this has ruined a great game for me because I didn't want to save excessively.

How do you enable debug mode in the GOG version of RE3

I have been stuck on the first Nemesis fight and nothing I do lets me get past this fight. I can't find anything on the internet about enabling debug mode.

Karl x Ethan..

" — ... Dude, you're so annoying!" - Ethan exclaimed. He had never been a fan of cursing, especially after becoming a father, but that man, his jokes, cheesy comments, and other things were enough to drive anyone crazy. Despite the blond's constant complaints and insults, Heisenberg didn't care; he followed the path through the snow with a cigar between his fingers, a mischievous smile, and an almost relaxed look amidst the apocalyptic scenario surrounding them.

" — Don't be so rude. I'm helping you look for your little Rose, aren't I?" - The German replied after a few moments, using a sarcastic and offended tone.

" — Don't tell me that. Don't pretend you're doing me a favor, okay? It's a deal, that's all. I've done my part, so act like a man and do yours too." - Unlike Karl, Ethan was acting hostile, which, every now and then, since they joined this damned agreement, made Karl leave him a little quieter. Winters wasn't doing everything wrong, of course; partly, he was easily wanting to snatch the hammer from the older man's hand, hold it tightly, and smash it on the gray-haired man's head.

Reconsidering his last words, he grunted, stopping walking, stepping back, and checking his and the German's footsteps marked in the snow. It didn't take more than 5 seconds for the other to also stop, noticing Ethan's pause.

" — I know you're worried about Rose. You know, I don't have children, and I don't plan on having any. I don't know if it's comparable, but I was really worried when I found out you almost killed my nieces..." - Before he could finish the sentence, Ethan interrupted him.

" — That's not comparable, Heisenberg."

" — ... didn't I tell you to call me Karl?"

" — And didn't I tell you not to try to get close?"

" — It's just my name! I'm not going to call you 'Mr. Winters' or simply 'Winters'! So why can't you do the same?" - Although it was something that Karl didn't really care about (in normal cases), he seemed frustrated this time, perhaps because Ethan had stopped doing it before but had started doing it again less than a day ago.

Ethan didn't answer; in fact, he simply kept walking, "as friendly as a rabid dog" was something like that which Karl muttered. However, the blond had a serious, almost neutral expression, perhaps walking aggressively, kicking even the smallest stones that were in his path.

" — Oh, noble wooden man..." - He said ironically, remembering when Ethan defended himself for the first time using such an object. So Karl increased his pace, to the point of jumping to stay ahead of the other. The height difference was 20 centimeters, and, of course, with a smile from ear to ear now, Karl leaned forward, holding the blond's chin with his gloved hand. Then, after lifting the blond's face toward his, Karl sealed their lips in a short kiss, resonating (almost incredibly) softly. After a short period of 10 seconds, they were separated, causing a softer sigh to escape Ethan's lips.

" — 'Mr. Winters'... I know you're frustrated, but damn it! Calm down, let's find your little Rose..." - Irony? Or really a motivation? Either way, it made Ethan smile, and so they continued walking in deliberately friendlier steps.

" — Hm... By the way, do you think Rose will like the idea of having two fathers?" - He completed his last sentence, looking at the other through his eyelashes.

" — Karl, go fuck yourself."

———//———

My first post here, by the way, a short film I wrote during the early hours of the morning, after all, I want to go back to writing fanfics.. I don't know if anyone will read it, and if they did, thank you! I really hope you enjoyed it.

RE7 Marguerite Boss help??

This boss genuinely seems impossible. She is a bullet sponge to the highest degree—even with all the ammo and healing around me I still somehow find myself without any ammunition getting swarmed by 3 million bugs.

Genuinely how do you kill this hag?? I had no problems with any other boss or enemy to this point, and I’m on normal. I haven’t had this much trouble with a boss since the Verdugo in RE4 😭

Tips for first RE HD playthrough as Chris

So this is basically my first post on Reddit ever… I would like to know a few tips from you guys about how I can make my first RE HD playthrough more enjoyable. I really want to start with the first title, because it would irritate me a lot if I don’t start the series from the beginning. As of right now I tried playing the game for about 3 hours and I have to honestly say that it feels incredibly frustrating. Usually I don’t even have a clue where I am supposed to go or what even my objective is. Additionally, I really want to play the game as Chris and not Jill even if it is a bit more difficult for beginners as Chris . Do you guys have any tips in particular on how I can progress the games story relatively quickly, considering using a guide takes all of the fun out of the game and feels a bit messy to me at times. But any tips for a first playthrough are appreciated! Thx in advance (:

Best game?

Hey i am new here on Reddit and try to find a place where i can talk about the games i am interested in and decided to talk about Re series since i played around 10 games of the series and wanted to know the community opinion about the best game of the series. For me it's Resident evil 7. One of things i love about resident evil series is that it always gives player new experiences. It's the first time resident evil actually makes a solid Main storyline . The game focuses on the general atmosphere of mystery and horror more than scary-looking enemies or scary music, almost the first hour of the game you don't encounter Any enemy and still you are on your nerves, i like how the game easily makes you nervous and scary ( like on the ship part ) and after you finish the stage you realize there wasn't actually a Jumpscare or something, it's just the design of game and the atmosphere itself. The game gives us many great ( and scary ) boss fights, it's like you encounter more unique characters from Baker family than normal enemies. And not to forget the chases part when you hide from a character that follows you, like jack backer The game also had a bunch of new characters and they are all great on their own way, From Ethan ( which becomes my favorite..... ) to the Baker family members. Tbh I think this game has everything that a resident evil game might need ( Horror, gameplay, storyline, characters, boss fights, atmosphere, puzzles, chases, etc) Sorry for any English mistakes and interested to know your opinion..!

Resi 7 Biohazard PS5 Gold

Hi all

Just popping back to Reddit briefly to ask a question.

I'm going spare!! Recently bought a PS5 and want to start picking up the modern RE games physically. Thing is, I want DLC on Disc if buying Gold Editions. So.

RE4 remake, Gold, DLC voucher. No thanks. Vanilla Edition and download DLC when I see fit

RE8/Village. Gold. DLC voucher. See above.

Now I'm looking at RE7/Biohazard and cannot get a straight answer. I'm in Europe and I have a great many conflicting reports. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Either that or I'll just snap up the PS4 Gold, but I'd rather PS5 if I can.

Thanks very much

Zero achievements left (/w 100% on hardcore Leech Hunter)

Wow this was a journey. I thought I would be finished much sooner than that. All I thought I had left after getting S rank on hardcore was finish a run on Wesker mode and then do Leech Hunter on easy and I'm done right? Wrong. I didn't get 50 kills with Wesker ability on that run so I started another one and after good 40 minutes I realized the achievement wasnt popping when I was sure I had 50 kills. Turns out I had to get 50 kills on the same save so I had to do it again. And I thought why not make it easier for me and finish Leech Hunter on easy so I did that but while watching a guide they mentioned you need to unlock all weapons on the same save file and you can't get rocket launcher on easy. So I had a choice: either do S rank on normal and then do Leech Hunter on the same save file on normal or do Leech Hunter on hardcore where I already had S rank. Based on the title you can guess what I chose.

You need to kill every enemy, collect all 100 charms (which only stack to 10 and you can't drop them so they fill most of your inventory) and just for fun after you collect 90 charms more enemies spawn where you have only three inventory spaces left to carry weapons. And of course you cant die or the run is over. It took like good 6 or 7 attempts and I actually got really close once only to realize at the end of the game I didn't have enough ammo for remaining enemies 😭 So I had to start over, I kind of watched a guide (but it wasnt for killing every enemy and I ended up doing it differently anyway) while trying to conserve ammo and I ended up with about 80 handgun bullets left!

And I still wasnt done because I had to go back to make another custom handgun to get 'aquire all weapons' achievement. So I had to play like 20% of the game again, made a save before I got the upgrade the gun because I wasnt sure which one I upgraded on this save. And after I upgraded both the achievement still didnt pop 😭 Turns out I didn't pick up the shotgun at the start of the game in the train 😭 So I had to start another run, pick up the shotgun and play the 20% of the game AGAIN and figure out which gun I need to upgrade and I finally got it. Phew. I would've saved like good 10 hours if I just used google.

Next game I'm gonna try to platinum (I have it on REmake and RE2R) is RE3R. Am I gonna go back to the original games? Maybe but at the moment I'm more eager to get into newer games rather than going back to the older ones. I'm really curious about RE7 and RE8 so maybe after I finish those (and 4,5,6 and both Revelations) I'll go back to the originals.

Could these characters survive racoon city?

So let me lay out the rules. These characters I'm about to list are only given their standard material, nothing more, but if a character is missing an arm or something (cause one of them is missing almost all her limbs) they will be given their original limbs in addition to their replacement limbs. Also this will be characters by themselves, and will be going through the same storyline as Leon and Claire. And they will encounter nemesis.

1: Mirko

2: Momo ayase

3: the punisher.

4: chun li

5: iron fist

6: spider man

7: blade

8: wolverine

9: Batman

10: black panther

CVX: Can I return to the lab with the salamanders or do I need to go back to my previous save?

I pretty much finished everything I can do in the military complex and now I'm back in the palace on my way to Alexia's Mansion. I just realized that I forgot to pick up the acid rounds from the lab where those salamanders attack you because there was a timer and I needed to hurry. If I hike it back to the military complex will that room be opened or is it locked for good now? Thank you.
