If you get caught it sounds like someone is slurping down a soda through a straw in your dual shock 4 lol. In fact I would bet money that's the original source of it for the game.

Ha! That's funny, managed to avoid her in all of those sequences so I didn't know that. Does it work or does it end up sounding corny?
The speaker on the DualShock 4 reminds me of the Wii U tablet, great option for enhancing immersion, but seems to be rarely utilized.
The PS4 port of Resident Evil: Revelations actually used it quite a bit, which I thought was pretty cool.
I played on Survival but I bet the cabin fight is tough as nails on Nightmare. It'd be a straight-up brick wall on classic mode, just like the later section where you transport the force field through the fire.

Chapter 10 spoilers:
The cabin fight was indeed a nightmare on Nightmare, though I did love it but it was frantic and hard. Whenever I decide to do the Classic Mode run, one thing is for certain: One of my seven saves I'm definitely saving for just right before that fight (you'll have to do it at the end of chapter 9, but really I see that as being one of the hardest parts on Classic Mode).
Cleared it on my first attempt on nightmare so it's probably not as hard as you think, classic though would be a different story.

It's kind of unintentionally hilarious, it's a tense moment in the game and
if she catches you there's this death animation of her sucking out Sebastian's spirit.
So it's pretty funny hearing a slurpee sound when it happens. On another note though they
never really explained her lol. Was she just part of Sebastian's pain left in STEM?

Which one?
If the electric pole thing, it was okay but I'm not too fond of it. However, I actually really liked the final boss.

Yea I wasn't the biggest fan of that one either. In fact that fight was one of the specific things I had in mind when I said that part of the game had some "baffling design choices."
What is even the strat for that boss once you've used all the environmental traps? On Survival there was sniper ammo on the ground, so it seemed like sniping the weak point was what you were supposed to do (?). I just hit-n-run'd with the shotgun.
EDIT: Oh Chapter
11
I think final boss was actually Chapter
16
whoops I put in the wrong chapter lol. I meant
11. On Nightmare the stealth seems bugged to where he always turns around, and it's never clear when he's searching for you and when he's unaware so sometimes you're standing behind him and no prompt appears and he turns around and ganks you. and he takes far more bullets than I have to go down, even the tespawning handgun ammo isn't enough to finish him before he gets me into a corner.

Oh my, happy I didn't say too much. XD;
So for Chapter 11's boss
I honestly think there's a bug with stealth, with that one skill you can upgrade being bugged for some, and for some reason this one enemy in particular I think sometimes stealth works fine, other times doesn't.
I ran out of ammo against him, but here's a tip; There's infinitely respawning handgun ammo in that fight. There's two points around the arena that handgun ammo will respawn if you run off to one side. How I managed to beat him.

Yeah,predator is really useful.
Now i can take out 2 hysterics without wasting a single bullet.
yeah that ammo is how I've been managing, he just takes so much and I always go down first.
Not gonna get stuck here, just a shitty, unfun boss fight. Which is a shame because aside from this I've been absolutely loving this game.
edit: oh shit I
blew up his pack!!

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

Oh wow, so the costumes carry over on different playthroughs. I just finished the game on survival and started up a nightmare run and I can change costumes.

Picked up the game again at the urging of friends. Theodore's domain is the best looking environment in the game, IMO (the retreads of TEW1 notwithstanding).
The writing's getting so bad that it's giving me a cramp. Jesus. That whole scene in chapter 12 with
was absolutely horrendous. This is what's bringing people to tears? Seriously?

Ammo makes no sense what so ever. None why would bullets matter in a dreamscape where imagination is king?! Your character gets no extra abilities beside physical Tactics. Every boss gets the idea why wouldn't Seb. It's like he doesn't even remember the first game sometimes. I wish someone not a part of RE4 made this. You push for RE6 combat you throw horror out the window. Something with mental abilities would be a better fit for the game.

Alright, I'm in chapter 3 and I'm at the trucking company building.
Seems weird if so because I've been able to go everywhere else in Union.
I already used the shock bolt to lift the garage door, but there is like a plank of wood covered the opening in the fence inside and I can't break it with guns or the knife or axe. Am I not supposed to be able to get in there yet?

Ok, thanks.
I feel the more the game explains itself the more I hate it, the first's writing was average but at least it kept you guessing without explaining too much of Mobius.
it actually sucked super hard because
with no flamethrower to shoot hr just sprints around the environment non-stop trying to shove the barrel down your throat. Stealth becomes completely impossible and all you can do is sprint back and forth between ammo points taking potshots at him hoping you dodge his attack.
finally got the bastard, though.
Move on, it's story related.

That's a problem, too, though it wasn't the precise one that I was referring to. But yeah, you're right. For me, the reason why the first game worked so well is because, without a set objective other than "figure out what the fuck is going on and get out of there" it opened more storytelling doors and was able to branch out in a lot of different, interesting ways. This game feels very narrow in its quest to save Lily, so when it dumps information on you about Mobius, you really just don't care.
I was specifically referring to the dialogue. The scene that I mentioned in my last post was just atrocious. Just going back and forth over and over and over again with
"You need to forgive yourself."
"I can't forgive myself."
"Yeah but you need to forgive yourself."
"How do I forgive myself?"
"Well, it's time to forgive yourself."
"I guess I can forgive myself."
"I can't forgive myself."
"Yeah but you need to forgive yourself."
"How do I forgive myself?"
"Well, it's time to forgive yourself."
"I guess I can forgive myself."
While I sit over in the corner yelling FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT?????? FOR WHAT?????????????????????
I absolutely cannot stand it when characters beat themselves up over not doing things that the writers didn't include prior. Like, of course Sebastian
didn't believe Myra
believe her
You can!? How? I swore I got behind him crouched, and attemted a cover takedown, didn't get a prompt.
Oh, and a question for y'all.
Is there a single game out there that had better feedback for headshots and critical hits? Because these explosions of viscera are delightful.
Oh 100% I muted that part and wen't on my phone I couldn't give a single shit at that point.

Just finished The Last Silent Solid Evil F.E.A.R. Wake. Extremely safe in just about everything it did, and was quite boring for a survival horror or action/horror game. It was an OK stealth game with some third-person shooting mechanics added in though I guess. Not only was it nowhere near as inventive as the first game, it was considerably shorter.
Finished it in just under fifteen hours, but the majority of that time was spent crouched and moving slowly. The first game took 15 - 20, but had you moving forward at a regular speed more often than not. I wanted to see how many hours I put into the previous, thinking that I only played it once, and was shocked to see that I somehow put 90 hours into it. I have no idea where all of that time was spent, or if I somehow left the PC on for days with the game running. I didn't, but it didn't take 45 hours to complete each playthrough, so I'm at a loss. Probably would have enjoyed it slightly more if I wasn't fighting against the controls for the first few hours either. The pistol with a controller is literally the least fun I've had with one of these games in pretty much ever. I had to switch to mouse just to get past a few sequences so that I didn't end up throwing the controller at the wall. It's just really, truly terrible feeling to use.
I guess they were trolling with one of the unlocks?
Anyway, for these types of games, it's nowhere near the top of my list, and I doubt I'll remember anything about it other than how unmemorable it is overall. Here's how I'd rank it:
1. REmake, RE2, RE4
2. Dead Space
3. Dead Space 2
4. Silent Hill 2
5. Silent Hill
6. Alan Wake
7. RE:CVX
8. RE3
9. F.E.A.R.
10. The Evil Within
11. Dead Space Extraction
12. Dead Space 3
13. Silent Hill 3
14. RE0
15. RE7
16. Clock Tower
17. D
18. Fatal Frame
19. The Evil Within 2
20. RE5 (this game is mechanically superior, but even worse for atmosphere)

Yeah, I knew someone would comment on that. Silent Hill 3 was a better horror game, but when I played it, I suppose I was just burned out on the mechanics.
Considering the range you have to be before it even activates, it's pretty much useless. It saves you all of two and a half seconds of stealth walking.
no it really isn't, especially with the speed and even the range that you mentioned. Makes the encounters far more manageable.
Barely worked properly for me.
Sanctuary

You literally have to be less than ten feet away before it activates. That doesn't make much of anything more managable unless you're simply messing up on the patrol timing. If you can get close enough for this skill to work, then you pretty much don't even need it. Ambush on the other hand is somewhat useful, but it's more of a luxury upgrade than anything else, and it's buggy as shit too. Quite often Sebastian will zoom out from hiding and crouch rush like he's a Gears of War marine, which isn't even part of that skill, nor his default actions. He's only supposed to do that with Predator, but somehow it's applying to Ambush at times (without having purchased Predator).
It's like he's trying to reenact the scene in Star Wars where Han Solo chases down the small stormtrooper patrol.

That and the last reward for the Very Hard Shooting Gallery are alluding me at the moment. Haven't checked if you need to get those for a Trophy but I'd be shocked if you didn't. Those minigames must have been tested using a mouse and not a controller.
You don't know them for the plat. You just need to get all the keys, which is the next to last reward in both
Ugh Dead Space 3. What a crushing disappointment that pile of shit was. Fucking EA. Still gutted over that game.
Sanctuary

That should emphasize just how poorly I think of the bottom half of that list. Although if it helps you sleep, bump Silent Hill 3 up one space. It could have gone either way.
I don't like Silent Hill 3 that much personally. I only really love Silent Hill 1 and 2. I'd put a lot of the lower list above it personally with RE7 and Evil Within 2 being 2 of my favourite games this year. Though Silent Hill 4 I strongly dislike.
I just have a real special dislike of Dead Space 3 as I love the first one so much

Gonna try asking again since I'm curious:
I have a chapter 7 question (spoilers):
I sneaked past it, but is it possible to fight it, kill it and earn something? If yes, what do you get for killing it?
