That puzzle where you had to rotate the statues and the wall said something like “woman is blind to man’s advances” or some shit.. girl i could not make sense of that so i just kept rotating shit until somn clicked
Basically it means turn the female statue away from the men xD

Poor Fetch is confused by women - and also baffled by the concept of being blind to a mans advances - and thus could not complete the puzzle :worry:

i knew that STUPID but i didn’t which statue corresponded to which bit coz like how tf is a man riding a horse supposed to be a “lord” and when it said somn about the poor giving their shit away i didn’t know if that was the bitch holding the paper thing or the group of people holding food in their hands :hmph:

Me and th'wifey started last night (she likes a horror game) and played up until the castle - or I assume I'll be in the castle soon, we saved just after getting the 2nd crest.

I read last night that this has New Game+ which I am buzzing for, it was one of the things that had me hopelessly hooked on Resi 4, I actually can't wait to finish a playthrough and then start blazing back through with OP weaponry :joker:.

I didn't realise it would give you all the weapons from your first playthrough when I started my second, when I got to the bit you have to survive the wolf onslaught, I opened up my menu and saw all my guns and ammo and was all like.

Very similar vibes to the Resi 4 las plagas villager attack (I suspect it was a deliberate throwback to that, right down to the ending, Resi 4 bell ringing and Resi 8 summoning from the castle). On playthrough 1 it was about evading and surviving, playthrough 2 you can easily fight back, and by playthrough 3 it's a massacre :joker:. It can actually end with you killing all of the villagers rather than timing out.

Spoiler:

She was thought to be the main antagonist until Miranda was mentioned, and then a few weeks before launch, Capcom detailed the four lords which strongly hinted at the fact that Lady D wouldn't be around for the whole game. Still, she was a bit of a queen for the screen time she had :clap1:

You better ready your knickers for the next part though, I'm not gonna say anything about it since I wouldn't dream of spoiling it but yea. You'll see what I mean when you get through it though.

I'm loving the various Resi 4 references scattered throughout - I got a little nostalgic chuckle when The Duke feigned a gruff voice and said "What are ya buyin'?"

The duke serves CEX

he’ll buy a gun off you for 20,000 then try to sell it back to you for 70,000

I was shaken to the core when I first met him and had maybe 6k or something and I spent 1k on "shotgun shells" expecting a BOX of shells and it was... one shell!

But to be fair, income does pick up dramatically in the castle, you get scraps and pennies in that first village section.

Spoiler:

i swear the miranda boss fight is literally impossible on hardcore

I have like 18 shotgun ammo/20 sniper ammo/90 handgun ammo/5 mines/2 med kit things and not enough resources to craft anything else :worry:

I’ve got past the bit where the room turns black and she starts lunging at you but can’t get any further

Idk how but I somehow managed to miss the merchant/save room the entire time during the Lady D part. I really thought they were cutting back on saves to make it harder :skull:

I finished it today (i started a new game on easy and just blasted through it to reach the end)

Spoiler:

Propeller-head will haunt my dreams for eternity

I liked the Factory but I didn't find it scary, House Beneviento though? Nightmares.

Spoiler:

I didn’t find beneviento scary, as soon as they take your gunz you know all of the scares will be scripted events/“running away” so it’s just not that scary. That said, I’m playing through with my wife so maybe being “not alone” makes it less scary.


We just finished the factory so I assume are very near the end.

Spoiler:

The scripted stuff isn't what makes it scary, plus if you're playing on your own with headphones on, it really ups the effect that house has. It's when things DON'T happen that Beneviento's at it's most terrifying. When you first arrive at the house and it's all silent and unassuming, every time you solve a puzzle and the basement changes a little, and the worst part was the Well room. It's just tension on top of tension. When Ethan turned around to descend the ladder, I thought the Mia doll would be standing there looking at him, and then nothing happened and then when you got to the bottom only to not be jumpscared but to have the sound of a baby crying until you exit, to find that everything is dark and doused with a red light? I literally had to take a break. The baby monster was nothing, all the 'big moments' weren't a bother, but the slow building tension and the fact they eschewed jumpscares throughout to cultivate a genuine sense of fear and dread? A+

Finished last night :hee: easily the best Resi game since 4.

Had enough CP for infinite dragoon, plan is to do another run or two to get enough for infinite ammo for grenade launcher and Wolfsbane plus all the food buffs and then take a run at Village of Shadows...

I reckon hard will be a cakewalk with Dragoon and Grenade Launcher...

Hardcore was actually easy right up until the final boss

Was it just lack of ammo that got you? Because there's a bit where she makes a sort of energy ball above her head as an attack and you can shoot it and it explodes and does huge damage. I didn't know that until after I finished the game!

Apparently it is TECHNICALLY possible to beat her using just a knife. Lolz. Probably not without all the health/guarding buffs and the speed buff though.

Yeah coz i only had 2 med things and sniper/shotgun/handgun ammo :sad: didn’t have any magnum ammo and didn’t have the resources to craft explosive rounds

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 24-05-2021 01:49 PM
But i think if i had the health buffs i would have managed it

The only health buff i got was the slight increase coz i didn’t know where to find the juicy game (until i googled it later but after you enter the factory you can’t go back into the village)

I had so much fun playing on hardcore though like every enemy encounter was really tense

I think where i slipped up was in the factory i literally killed every single enemy when i was going back to the casting mold etc... but most of the enemies in the factory are completely avoidable

So that’s why i ended up with not enough ammo/meds/resources

I did find that the factory siphoned away an absolute tonne of ammo and resources, literally right before the final bosses - I don't know if that's intentional or not. I had a boatload of handgun ammo and not much else... used all of my shotgun ammo an explosives against propellerhead.
