I actually managed to disarm the time bombs 70% to 80% of the time. But during
there were bombs with such a small blue area it became impossible for me to disarm them safely.
That was a classic troll moment. You spot another one of these bombs, not suspecting anything, and when you're about to disarm that thing you see the tiny blue area you're supposed to hit. Totally caught me off guard and I died of course. lol
I didn't touch the bomb the second time.
Is the time frame of these bombs just as small in Akumu?

That's what all of the Akumu bombs are like. I've managed to disarm all but one so far (two blowing up, but I had saved so not a big deal). One of them is during an event where there's no save before or directly after, so I just skipped it.
I also learned something about

Damn what lunacy. Mikami wasn't joking when he said you could brag about having beaten Akumu mode.

At this rate his playthrough should clock in around 30-35 hours. They should really drop it down to casual.
Edit: "Why do we always try and play on the hardest difficulty?". Guy, you're playing on the normal.
Sanctuary

No. Also, Flash bolts were already tied for best bolt if not the best bolt, but in Akumu they are the best by far soley due to upgrade cost.

All those people worrying that this game gets real hard....don't. I'm playing on Survivor and upto Chapter 10 boss and this game has been very easy basically up till now Even chapter 10 isn't that hard, it's just very long and there are some close moments. Best advice is to be real stingy with ammo, use stealth kills. Don't use health items unless your inventory is full and you need to pickup another health item, also when you level up your health it will give you full health (just like Dead Space) so make sure you only do this when you are on the lowest amount of health and are low on health packs or going into a boss fight. Also do up the stock capacity for shotgun and grenades. Save these ammo types for boss or mini boss fights and just unload hard.
I have a couple of videos of me just destroying all the way through chapter 10 (on my first playthrough) and then I stop playing because I was just drained by the time I got to the boss. There were a couple of times I thought the chapter was over but it just keeps chugging on. Gonna polish it off when I get home tonight.

Same. One almost tripped me up in chapter 10
with that evil placement during the Laura encounter

according to the art book, the fake Ruvik is called Mr. UNKNOWN. Ruvik and another subject synchronized at high levels.
it only gets harder from there on...so If they are struggling there idk..
I just tuned in.

Hey, I was curious about chapter
I passed it awhile back, but is it possible to stealth kill the enemies in that chapter? I was crouched and behind one that hadn't noticed me but it wouldn't let me. I tried for a good 5 seconds before it turned around and saw me.

It feels a lot like their proof of concept stage, it has all of the game's major elements in one very tightly packed area with multiple possible routes. If any area of the game were going to be a demo it should probably be that area.

Seems to have 2 phases, once you deal a certain amount of damage he'll enter phase 2 where he'll one shot you if he grabs you.
The 2 rooms you can go into are basically a chance to get a few free shots off and do some damage. I just decided to shoot him until he went into phase 2 and then popped 5 sniper rounds into his mouth before he had a chance to move

If you're talking about the
double-headed things
The art design and atmosphere too.
I wish the entire game stuck to that setting while getting progressively bigger and
more mansions etc
AmethystEnd

Yep, those things. Thanks. Good to know I'm not just being terrible. And no more wasting time.

If any level should have been the level to base the entire game around, it would have been chapter 3.

I like the ambiance and aesthetics of Chapter 11 but fuck Chapter 11, enemies with guns ruin survival horror games for me unless it's COC
CoTE.
I'm just after the Asylum save room checkpoint mirror thing, and
This shit also ruined RE4 for me, and don't even get me started on RE5.

Chapter 9 wasn't a bad choice to demo though.

Finished Survivor, 15 hours 61 deaths.
Pretty good game, some parts better than others. Trying to get the knife kill on the sadist is turning out to be quite the trial. You have to soften him up right to the breaking point before you can kill him with your knife. And if you accidentally kill him (which I have twice now) you immediately checkpoint.

Yeah, I cut myself off from the media after a certain point, so I was under the impression a large part of the game was going to be like that.

Yeah I kinda want that art book now. Especially if it has insight on stuff like what they were trying to do, what was scrapped, etc.

Play Bull fighter with him, and you will kill him quick. Sidestep his charge and blast him.
mikami likes to jump around a lot with settings..I guess to "mix things up"
The same thing happened in RE4...I still wish the entire game was in the western european/village part.
Sanctuary
Member
Isn't Spain on the western side?
Not sure they can show proper aim in the art book.
never mind me x]
Been a long time since I played.Yeah its based on spain I think ,so you are correct.
Sanctuary
Member
Just being a smartass. They spoke Spanish, but it's just a guess that they were actually in Spain.
One of the first things I did was disable the DLC that comes with pre-ordering. I so love that Steam lets you do that.
Easily the worst form of pre-order DLC is the one that gives you bullshit advantages early on in the game. Can't stand that sort of thing and I'm happy completely ignoring it.
its like 4 shotgun shells on the chapter you get the shotgun, I didnt even notice it until I opened the shotgun case and only got 1 shell, and was like "wtf" and noticed I already had it. I guess if you knew, but still, didnt seem like much. And the medkit, but those are so rare, I didnt mind. It certainly wasnt a Sleeping Dogs / Saints Row situation imo

Quoting just to get your attention.
What's the fastest way to kill those guys I asked about stealth killing? I was using harpoon. It was one harpoon and then a match. Is there a more efficient/economical way of doing it?

Watching people that play THAT badly and then claim the game sucks is whats wrong with players these days. Welcome to true horror!

I have it on Kindle and it's been great so far. It has a lot of great insight, some of it is small details, but overall it provides a great backstory for everything. Small details that give a lot of detail. It's about as much as you'd get in making of videos and more. I'm enjoying it. There's a lot of stuff that didn't make the final cut IMO.

I liked to get them to chase me, shoot them in the leg with my handgun, and then drop a match on them.
its ok to not be good at this part of the game ,but its unfair to say that its because the game sucks.
Sanctuary
Member
I just used shotgun to the face x 2 and if they were not dead a match, or pistol to the legs + match.
Things that make you go hmm...
And they also make cycling through the bolts when crafting more annoying than it should be, especially if you're never going to use them.

Yes. AJ first big ass problem is that it's apparent that he didn't explore.
No crossbow.

AmethystEnd

I'm not sure you know which enemies I'm referring to. These aren't regular enemies. They will never fall to one handgun shot to the leg, as far as I know. Not even one shotgun blast to the legs was taking them down.
Okay, well I'll just stick with my strat then. I'm fine with harpoons since they're so cheap to make.

I had to stop watching it was too painful.

It's really not a boost at all, you get a shotgun that ends up weaker than the upgraded pump one and the medkit doesn't do much (that I noticed, other than heal you of course) the bolts are the best part
leatherhat

They will if they're sprinting. That's what I meant by chasing.

dont watch my streams then
well I did finish it on survival, so I cant be that bad
I watched your streams at least you have game sense, this fucking guy runs into a shed with a chainsaw guy sprinting after him and complains when he dies.
even if i really liked the part you are saying, i love when a game escalates, and one chapter you are "here" and the next one you are "there", now that i think about i really liked World War Z because of that maybe i'm just weird
AmethystEnd

I'll try it if I ever see one again. I could swear I tried this. Maybe your handgun is more upgraded than mine.
