    No way near as long as resi 4 , haveing a partner was annoying at 1st but one you realise she's just a drug and ammo mule its all good she makes a good nurse :D cant see there being extra chapters like 4 bet theyll sell that to us as dlc :mad:

    5 of 6 chapters complete as good as 4 in some ways but its missing that tension when the zombies where climbing ladders and in through windows after you , its got that but just doesnt seem as good

    To be honest, I actually speedran through RE2 a few weeks ago. I played through Claire A in 3 hours 20 minutes, reading all the files and watching all the cutscenes. Not an amazing time, but I got an A rank. Then I played through Leon B in 2 hours and 9 minutes :eek:. I didn't think I was going that fast, I watched all the cutscenes and wasted a few minutes! A testament to my wasted childhood...

    I used to play through it really fast, doing speedruns. I would go through both scenarios without saving :p

    god Fcking dam it. I am sick to the teeth of these half games coming out. I was soo looking forward to a nice 20 hour romp like resi 4. Just when u think its over, it throws something new at u.

    Most games these days are like one level of the games we got on the n64. 60 hours of zelda compared to 4 hours of gears.

    Resi 5 was my great white hope. Not anymore. Today i am a broken man...

    Ok rant over

    Nah, it looks to be an unlockable according to Kotaku:

    I'd say play is probably your best option for price, although, you'll probably be waiting a week or so for it, pity gamesnash.ie aint offering the collecters ed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Yeah, one of the guys I work with only got his copy of Killzone 2 yesterday after per-ordering from Play....

    Mercenaries mode is unlockable, it's in the game, but online co-op Mercenaries isn't. It's supposed to be released as an update, though if it's a patch or DLC I'm not sure about. Hopefully just a patch.

    An article on Eurogamer confirmed it's in there as an unlockable as well (probably robbed off Kotaku). Colour me very happy.

    Also the comments section mentioned that it's getting great positive response in the forums. I'm not going to look, I want to know as little about this game was possible but it's alleviating my worries a good bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    2 people on EG have the game and are both very happy.

    cvxfreak (any RE fan online will no doubt know him, lol) has finished the game and likes it, had a few concerns, but says it has a *lot* of replay value.

    My Asian LE is on the way but like an idiot I didn't upgrade my shipping to something faster, so it probably won't get here till friday+ anyway :/

    good to hear an opinion from a fan about the game... sick of hearing reviewers give out about the games controlles.... any RE fan will know the controlls in RE have always felt clunky, a problem a mate of mine had with resi 1-3, and wouldnt play them, but loved resi 4

    I tested Gamesnash out with SFIV. it was next day delivery so I hope to be playing it come thursday.

    I didn't have a problem with the controls either, it was just a complete pain taking on the chainsaw guy with the rifle. I'm sure in the full game I wouldn't even consider such folly. Shotty all the way. The other worry was the lack of set pieces but it was just 2 tiny sections of the game, other sections from gameplay videos look more like Resi 4
    sea monster looking particularly impressive.

    I preordered RE5 and killzone 2 for 65e on sendit when they had a 10% sale couple of weeks ago. Still haven't received Killzone (hopefully when I get home) so I reckon RE5 will be well delayed too.

    I kicked ass in Mercenaries on the Cube. As Wesker.

    Hope he's an unlockable in this one too.

    Played a bit of it and I really like it. Compelling story, decent graphics, gameplay feels a bit dated but it doesn't get in the way that much. Its even less of a survival horror than RE4 and the inclusion of a partner completely removes the feeling of dread and worry you got in RE4.

    They'll have to throw Leon in there I guess. And Ada Wong too.
