Topic: Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles

[broodwars]

Finally got around to beating this one.  I have to say, although Alexia was surprisingly hard for a non-"end of game" boss that was a pretty fun fight.  I'm looking forward to unlocking the Linear Launcher, given the awesome amount of punch it packs in that fight.  Fighting the final boss, I'm really glad they took the feedback from Umbrella Chronicles to heart because TALOS was an insane final boss in that game.  The final boss of Darkside Chronicles goes down pretty easily by comparison, though it still took the last of my Shotgun; Submachine Gun;  and Rocket Launcher ammo to take it down.  Quite satisfying, though, and those last couple areas looked pretty good in this graphics engine.

Beating the game with the "Good" ending triggered a couple nearly-identical Krauser versions of the last couple Operation Javier missions, and given that I don't know when I'll get around to them.  I tried out the Tofu secret mission, which was ok but surprisingly hard and (like its counterpart in RE2) doesn't seem to have any point.

Alexia blows, because those tentacles almost require two players to take down.

Talos was pretty standard.  Not as demanding as the Two Trenchcoats.

And Sergei was the FINAL final boss, not Talos, also standard.

Well, the problem with Talos I had was that I had trouble dealing with all his tentacles before I ran out of submachine gun ammo and health.  I had little trouble with the Two Trenchcoats once I collected enough ammo, but unfortunately I never had a high enough score to unlock the fight with Sergei.

Are some of the umbrella files not available on certain difficulty settings? Try as I might, I can only find a third or so of a level's files, even when tossing grenades and firing SMG rounds like Rambo.

Some Archive Files (the Voice ones, specifically) only appear in Hard Mode.  Other Archive Files are only awarded when you S-Rank the stage.

Thank you!

I'm off to brave Hard mode.

Whoa...
That was deep.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

You shouldn't have done that.

I may rent this.

If you don't erase that, the terrorists win.

[Stratos]

terrorists win.

When you said the I heard the sound bite from Counter Strike in my head: "Terrorist's Win"

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Sorry, never played casual shooters.

[Adrock]

I may rent this.

Do.

Worth a rental. You can beat it in a couple of hours. You probably won't unlock everything, but if you just want to play through the game, it's pretty easy/straightforward. Steve is just as annoying.

[Louieturkey]

He's actually more annoying.  It's much easier with a partner.  We beat Alexia with no real problems at all.  The final boss was just time consuming.  I had no desire to replay the final levels as a Krauser solo at that point, but I'm finding that I only needed the hand gun throughout the entire game.  I did kill the fly Alexia with the rocket launcher (got a lucky hit) though.  That really was the only special weapon I used after fully powering up the handgun (meaning just the power, not the reload speed or bullets or rate of fire).

My favorite thing about this game is that the ranking had nothing to do with accuracy, so I could shoot as much as I wanted without being penalized.

[EasyCure]

So Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles is better.

Okay, how about Darkside and House of the Dead: Overkill?

Overkill is superior because it lets you turn off the targeting reticule.  Shooting with your own aim and not moving around the dot on the screen makes it hard for me to go back to the RE games.

Overkill is a real lightgun game, for real lightgun-aiming players.  Looking thru my SHOTGURN zapper while using the Assault Rifle?  Oh, buddy!  Who needs Left4Dud?

Edit:  In this game, one becomes TALLAHASSEE.

Im not sure if you're trolling me or just you being you because I have no freaking idea what you are talking about for most of this post.

re-read his post after you imagine you soaked your brain in some rot-gut, soaked yur gumz in sum tobacco juice and spit out 3-4 of your smilin teef.

How can people NOT play Overkill after watching fine cinema like "Zombieland"?  1-to-1 aim using CTA Digital's Sure Shot rifle with the in-game Assault Rifle for breaking mutant-melons is DIVINE.

OMG! I actually wanted to go out and buy Overkill after watching Zombieland for some hot double-tapping action, but ended up replaying RE4:WE instead. i'm pissed i didn't keep a save slot somewhere near the mine-cart area.. UGH!

I got this game for my gf for xmas (among other things of course) and we got to play it at a friends house a few days after, we got up to the first Birkins encounter and it was pretty bad ass. The graphics are a noticable improvement over UC, but the shakey cam.. it took some getting used to.

Yes. OH GOD YES.

[ShyGuy]

Ada Wong Bump!

Finally picked up this game for $30 at Hastings. Played coop with my cousin, about two thirds of the way through the game. He's a big classic RE fan so it was up his alley.

- Graphics are really nice looking, some of the best on the Wii.
- Camera is shakier than a detoxing alcoholic riding a paint mixer.
- Story has apparently been noticeably changed from RE2 and Code Veronica
- Weapon upgrading is always fun
- shooting every square inch of the screen for cash and prizes is both good and bad.

[Mop it up]

This is one of the games I've been watching on Amazon for a while now, seeing how low the price goes. If it ever drops below $15 then I'm going to scoop it up. It went to $18 once and I almost bit, but decided I wasn't quite interested enough for that.
