I just started to play Resident Evil 4 again. I was finally able to beat the part where the zombies (not really zombies, but what else am I gonna call 'em?) trap you and you gotta run into that house and "hold fort" there. I was completely stoked that I completed that part (by the way I completed it by hardly killing any zombies. Whereas when I tried to kill heaps, i just ended up dying, lol). Only to get stuck on the part right after it. I cant beat those bitches with the chainsaws, as I have no ammo for most of my weapons, and no money to buy upgades for them. Also with the El Gigante, (second one) I know you're supposed to shoot those bolders so that they fall ontop of him, but Ashley keeps standing right below them and pointing, so that when it gets close it just kills her.

There is no real point to this post, I just wanted to say how frustrated I am. Although if anyone has any tips on how to get past either of these scenarios, they would be much appretiated.

If you think this game is hard don't try RE: Dead Aim. It's not nearly as captivating storyline-wise, which only makes the crappy shooter system harder to get a handle on when the game isn't that interesting in the first place.

Forgot what that part with El Gigante is about and how to get by it easier but as for the 'fort' holding and the Chainsaw Weilding Ganados you simply have to be frugal with your ammo yes, and also just go for the head, every time, until they stop. When they squirm and moan on the ground is when they're finally dead, not when they just trip back and collapse.

Have some fun with the shooting range when you get to it. Builds confidence and you get some nifty bottle caps of characters and enemies with sparky quotes - Ada Wong(in red dress): Leon Now!


part where the zombies (not really zombies, but what else am I gonna call 'em?) Virus-injected-parasitic-cannabalistic-mutants...yeah.

Holy shit! I killed them. I used all my shotgun ammo, jut to kill the one withe the key ( and a few of the virus-injected-parasitic-cannabalistic mutants, lol. nice one). Then the other one came after me! After emptying my punishers clip into its head, i through a flash grenade at it, then ran up tho it and kicked it while it was dazed, but it got back up, so I through my last flash grenade at it, and while it was on the ground started slashing it up close with my knife. While I was doing this it got up again, so I just kept slashing it.(it had me cornered and I only had three bullets left for my sniper rifle, which wouuld have taken to long to shoot). It sarted to swing its chainsaw while I was slashing it, and it dropped dead right before it hit me.
Then I had to run back to get Ashley from inside the dumpster (the second one you see. I was back at the first one, as I had to keep running away while I reloded). Then I realised there were more zombies (or virus-injected-parasitic-cannabalistic mutants) so I started running back to get some ammo from the dude in the previous area (I had found some money, and a ruby to sell) to get some ammo to kill them.
I love this game.
Now Im gonna see what happens next...

Sounds cool, do they give you unlimited ammo for it or do you have to use your own ammo?

Virus-injected-parasitic-cannabalistic-mutants...yeah.


don't forget that they're Spanish, which makes them all the more angry at the world =P

if you really want to get through the game using minimal ammo...when you go to shoot them, aim first at the chest so they don't cover their faces and wait for them to group together
when they do...shoot the closest one and do the suplex, since it offers invincibility frames for its entire duration and takes the people from aggressive to passive for a few seconds...allowing you to escape
remember to only kill all of the villagers when it's necessary to advance to the next area, while the game is generous with ammunition...it's also easy to run out if you forget to keep an eye on your inventory

i didnt find RE4 THAT hard to be quite honest.

Suplex? How do you do that? The only move i know how to do is kick.

I don't think its incredibly hard, I just generally suck at most games (although Im usually good at games I dont like, wierd isn't it). Plus I was stuck on that one part. I think I'm finding it kinda hard because, as z.zetsumei pointed out, I try to kill every zombie ( or villager, or virus-injected-parasitic-cannabalistic-mutant).

Btw, Im at the castle now. This game rocks, I hope I either get stuck again or complete it before next thursday, 'cos thats when Twilight Pricess comes out.

Suplex? How do you do that? The only move i know how to do is kick.

there's actually three special attacks that Leon can do:

SPECIAL HIGH ATTACK: ROUNDHOUSE KICK
This is the same kick Leon uses in the main game.

SPECIAL LOW ATTACK: THRUST KICK (LOS GANADOS ONLY)
Leon does a forward thrust kick that makes the enemy fly back.

SPECIAL LOW ATTACK: SUPLEX (CASTLE ZEALOTS AND SOLDIERS ONLY)
This is self-explanatory. Leon grabs the enemy and does an overhead
Suplex (sometimes smashing the enemies' head in one go).

More like shoulder-toss then...suplex sounds like a holding position.
Didn't know about that aim chest first, then shoot head stuff. The fight with normal Krauser gets pretty good too as far as combos.

I never went into the house first part or RE4, i ran around picking off zombies never encountering the chainsaw women (which require entering the house for them to appear).

The "zombies" are called Ganados.

Um, the game takes place in Spain.

Also, the Handcannon is fun! A bitch to upgrade, but since it's a .50 cal., you know you're gonna be having fun with that!

lol

actually...it is a suplex...
to do a suplex you grab your opponent with your shoulder planted against his/her midsection, then you proceed to lift him/her off the ground with your legs while bending backwards to send his/her head into the ground ^^

i did a paper in high school about the differences between different types of wrestling



oh...for anyone that finished Assignment Ada:
did you guys find that the Chicago Typewriter broke the game horribly?
i mean...the power of the Handcannon in a fully automatic weapon with unlimited ammunition?! (not to mention the fact that it's extremely easy to attain)

Just like anything it takes practice. I sucked on RE4 at first as well but by the middle of the game or so I was kicking ass, and I got through my second run of the entire game in just two hours so, yeah. Just practice, play through the bits you have trouble with until you get them right, and you'll get better.

The Chicago Typewriter is hilarious. People generally use the infinite guns to see how fast they can get through the game. I'm eventually going to see if I can get an even faster run, but for now whenever I put the game in it it's to play Mercenaries.

OMG Hunk owns in Mercenaries mode...Neckbreak = invincible frames

Neckbreaker can be risky though if a crowd gathers behind him while performing one, which does happen. It is an interesting challenge though.

My favorite character in Mercenaries was Wesker. He had the "PUNCH OF DOOM" move that I used a lot. Also I liked his silencer. :-D

I also liked the BGM when you played as him for some reason.

Krauser is best for me on mercenaries, wesker is cool, i thought the hardest to get a 5 star rating with was leon. I didnt know about those different special attacks though i thought he only had 1.

Hardest part of the game i thought was the krauser multi fight, easy way to get past that fight and save a shit load of ammo is, at the start when the door locks, run straight to the hut and climb up the ladders, when krauser comes to hunt you down jump down the ladder, when he jumps down climb up, keep doin that until the door unlocks. He cant touch you when climbing ladders. Instead of fighting him after that at the points where you would normally, just run all the way to where you get the first part of the crest thing. After that you will have to fight him as normal but the ammount of ammo and herbs/first aid spray you save will make a difference in the last part of the fight.

I just used the Laser gun (I have the PS2 version) because I don't really like that part.

Also, I thought Krauser was fun to play as too, especially when his arm is glowing and there's a bunch of people in front of you. I change my mind, I think Krauser was the funnest to play.
