Haha.<br /><br />I got tired of the boring "Copyright & Special Thanks" section very early on in my writing . :p<br /><br />With RE5, I run across many different types of advanced players. Some of them use melees differently when going for melee kills. It's interesting to see the different methods that some will use for gaining a melee kill. You have to know the precise number of hits that can be delivered to a Majini before a stun to know right when to set it up for a melee.<br /><br />I run across very few players that actually take advantage of melee kills outside of the Jill and Wesker (Midnight) characters. It's interesting to watch players that try to string together different hits for a melee kill.<br /><br />Right now with Chris Safari, I'm working on setting up his melee kills a bit better. I can't really figure out any good methods for either Sheva characters though. Sheva doesn't really have that much advantage with her melees since none of them really have any power except for her ground melee.<br /><br />Also, I like to run across a player that will basically communicate with me through partner commands. It makes the whole experience more immerssive.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-90359477519280302162009-05-18T01:24:00.000-05:002009-05-18T01:24:00.000-05:00Good to hear you're still at it :D I am only sligh...Good to hear you're still at it :D I am only slightly engrossed in Devil Summoner 2 at the moment, in part because Everything Else (tm) is currently manifesting in life.

I finally beat RE5 on Xbox 360 yesterday and have now unliked my pride and joy (Mercenaries) and have been engaging in some rather fun online Mercs games.<br /><br />I work pretty well with Wesker Midnight and Jill players if they spam melees like my Chris STARS does. I know I could get a higher score if I played with Wesker or Jill, but I feel more comfortable with any Chris type. Wesker STARS is pretty fun to play as though.<br /><br />I absolutely love using the random search on both consoles for Mercs. It's really nice to run across the different skill types and learn things from them. Kind of like with the RE5 demo.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm finally back on Xbox 360, though still a little scarce at the moment. It's still hard to get adjusted to the 360 controller while playing RE5 for me.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-78491164558560282622009-05-15T16:35:00.000-05:002009-05-15T16:35:00.000-05:00Well, I have a feeling that I'll consider this gui...Well, I have a feeling that I'll consider this guide complete by sometimes next week. Got a nice version name planned for it if GameFAQs allows me to post it. I think it fits rather well. :D<br /><br />I might get BC on PS3. Still haven't decided yet. Also, I'll probably pick up Punch-Out for Wii. I haven't played the Wii since Dead Rising. I never did even beat Dead Rising: CtYD... couldn't really stand it tell you the truth. :)Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-89178850265328782642009-05-14T11:20:00.000-05:002009-05-14T11:20:00.000-05:00Haha, MP 1 and 2 are quite awesome; I have it for ...Haha, MP 1 and 2 are quite awesome; I have it for PC though, so I didn't pick it up on XBL. I was surprised by the announcement for 3 -- how much more "corrupt, dirty, cynical" can Max get?!<br /><br />The swinging controls do take some getting used to, but I managed to get a feel for it within a couple minutes. Maybe it's because the first thing I tried to do (and did) was Zip-Kick kill an opponent. :PBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-65643950718446425812009-05-13T09:35:00.000-05:002009-05-13T09:35:00.000-05:00Yep, both single and duo play or mercs can get qui...Yep, both single and duo play or mercs can get quite out of hand no matter how many times I have played each stage.<br /><br />I got so involved in RE5 on Xbox 360 yesterday that I forgot to update my blog post. It's all UmbrellaCo's fault. :(<br /><br />Anyway, it felt quite good to get back on again after so long. I had no idea that Max Payne and Max Payne 2 were on there. That's awesome. I might shell out the extra points to get both of those.<br /><br />I played Bionic Commando a bit. It's quite hard to get used to the controls for me at the moment. Getting thrusted into the middle of the action doesn't help. Awesome music though.

The reason I've been avoiding it is because I've been afraid that I would get too addicted with playing with friends on it and not get back to the guide. I think I've gotten far enough to forget about that though.<br /><br />Single player is a heck of a lot harder than duo play. On duo play, you have the exact same amount of enemies with an increase in difficulty. Single play = Normal difficulty, Duo play = Veteran difficulty.<br /><br />No matter how good a person is at RE5, it's pretty hard to avoid dying in some stages. Experimental Facility is complete mayhem on both single and duo play. Even the Public Assembly stage can easily catch a player off guard.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-25555103992440256932009-05-08T19:18:00.000-05:002009-05-08T19:18:00.000-05:00No, I haven't tried the Condemned 2 demo... ju...No, I haven't tried the Condemned 2 demo... just the first one.

Both DMC4 and RE5 were very highly anticipated games for me so it was a pleasure to write for both of them.<br /><br />Berserker's Fans Kingdom? xD<br /><br />The DMC series has taught me to mock bosses now. That's the way I get my kicks while trying to write for a boss. I usually fight a boss until I know its every move and can run circles around it. Ever since DMC3, I've had that same approach with all bosses that I type up information for.<br /><br />Brian, you just need a good pahrtna for RE5. :p I'd recommend trying Mercs online with duo play sometimes. It's so much better than single play. Single play is quite a bit more challenging though.<br /><br />I think about picking up Bioshock quite often, but I always get involved in another game. That demo for it is fantastic. I've played it on both systems. Did you ever try the Condemned 2 demo?Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-88133923154633425362009-05-08T02:01:00.000-05:002009-05-08T02:01:00.000-05:00Your English is great Thiamath :D Welcome to the w...Your English is great Thiamath :D Welcome to the world that is the Berserker's Fans Kingdom, haha.<br /><br />Well, your pace in pro mode is astonishing IMO :/ I dunno if I could handle it.<br /><br />Mockeries of bosses? Sounds like an old past-time to me... I don't remember the last time I really spent the time to manhandle a boss, which is a shame in its own right :/ I don't play enough of any of the games recently to claim I've done it... except maybe Chains of Olympus, because Persephone was more cake than someone's birthday :P<br /><br />And no... no online just yet. And I haven't touched Mercenaries... since the last time you asked. Like I posted on my blog I just dunno, something about the game just keep pushing me away. I know I've said it a dozen billion times already (probably twice in this thread!) but KJOO (that's a cypher for ya... a real hard one) haunts me every time I think of the game--in a bad way.<br /><br />BTW have you thought about picking up Bioshock? I am really wanting it over the past couple days, but for the sake of saving and because Devil Summoner's on the way, I haven't. However, I think you'd love it just as much because the atmosphere is really rich, and scary--just like Condemned, I didn't last 10 minutes :/ I still need to beat the demo, but I'll wait for a day when I'm home and the sun is out >.>Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-30637288396548666012009-05-07T21:50:00.000-05:002009-05-07T21:50:00.000-05:00Hi man...!!!

I'll probably finally put an end to it next week, though I'll still add to it after that, just not at the rate I'm going now.<br /><br />I think some of the boss fights do require competent players. Pro mode would be easier with two actualy human players. I'm trying to go through it with the AI partner. I want to base the walkthrough for it on single player since that option is available to everyone no matter if they have broadband or not.<br /><br />Public Assembly can be a major slap in the face on your first attempt.<br /><br />I'm finding that the chapter 5-3 boss fight (the two character fight) is slightly based off luck at some points. It's annoying, considering I like to pick apart boss battles and make a mockery of them. This time, I don't see a forseeable way to deal with a few portions of it without a certain degree of luck.<br /><br />I'm trying to go through all boss fights without the rocket launcher also. Well, except for when it is an available item during the fight of course.<br /><br />Have you played with anyone online yet? Have you unlocked all the Mercs characters?<br /><br />If not, we're going to have to fix that in the coming weeks. :)Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-53111064294828682502009-05-06T14:36:00.000-05:002009-05-06T14:36:00.000-05:00Hopefully there will be a demo out for BB :/

I never have had a friend that would actually play the games with me. With King of Fighters, I had some competition at a local arcade, same with many Capcom fighters, but I've never really had any competition with GG. I think I've worked myself into a bias for SNK and Capcom fighters because of that.<br /><br />I enjoyed GG2 for a while, but eventually it got old when the only competion was the CPU opponents. I was a Chip and Testament fan back when I played GG2.<br /><br />Irving is a complete ass on Pro mode if you don't know how to handle him. Whenever he latches onto the back of the boat, I have to spam him with magnum fire to keep him from attacking with his tentacles since the button commands are so hard to input quick enough to dodge.<br /><br />The turrets are basically useless during that fight when he latches onto the back of the boat unless you order the AI partner to use one.

I always thought that if ever there was a time to showcase how bad the AI could be, it was that fight.
