Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D |OT| Where the hell is Leon?
- Thread starter Yama
- Start date
Finished 5-5 tonight, what a fun game! Yeah, it's a little crappy sometimes, but overall a good game. I'd say my 10 hours on it have justified the purchase, so many good runs.
Now onto EX missions! I really need to play these co-op, the first EX in the night village is rough. The rest of the game seems like a cakewalk.
Is this as fun as RE 5 Mercs? I don't remember RE5's mechanics being quite as nice, or the general flow of it movie as quickly ad this 3ds version. Worth going back to the 360 RE5 and unlocking mercs?

Mercs 3D is definitely much faster, mainly because you can move almost all the time and many animations can be cancelled early. I think the primary difference between the two is the type of challenge. Mercs 3D is challenging by overwhelming you with tough bosses, and RE5 Mercs is difficult with how much in general is overwhelming (many enemies flanking you, inventory management, bigger risk of running out of ammo). It looks much nicer, especially since it never awkwardly cancels animations early or does weird animation combinations.Reclaimer said:
I dunno what version you'd prefer, but I definitely would recommend you try it at least. There's content in RE5 mercs which is not in Mercs 3D (3 stages, a few characters, a few weapons and some enemies). One thing which is unquestionably better in RE5 mercs is the coop.
If you choose easy difficulty in story mode, you'll unlock the mercs mode really quickly. I think you might even unlock it instantly if you get someone to invite you to a mercs match.

I just found time to do some online coop missions and apart from some short lag spikes the games with randoms worked just brilliantly. Almost cracked that 100 combo, but the mission ended 2 kills short.
The online alone makes this game really worth it. Fast, functional and tons of fun. Too bad that Nintendo didn't allow voice chat, since the 3DS allready comes equipped with a mic.
Hopefully they release a new Mercenaries sometime when the 3DS is better equipped for online.

I really like this game, definitively would buy it if I had to pay for it. The most satisfying thing is to use flash grenade and go on a Barry rampage with knocking the heads out of the enemy. My only complaint is them getting rid of Barry fun lines and the neckbreaker move. Of course they could have added more levels, but still happy with this re used assets type of game.
I just bought this game along with OoT, and holy shit. This game is pretty good. I've never played Mercs on RE4 or RE5 and this blew my mind. It's so fucking good. 3DS purchase vindicated. The only problem I can imagine happening is finding someone to play multiplayer with. No one I know has a 3DS let alone RE: Mercs 3D. I kind of want to go and get friends on GAF, but I hate having friends lists full of people I don't know. Bleh. :/
Ah man sorry about that >_< Battery was dying. Tried rushing to the closest outlet but I prolonged it too long. . . It looked like we almost had it too! Still up for more? Provided it turns on XD That said, I think I finally figured out how to deal with Salvadors. 4 headshots and melee = Boom. Wish I could figure out Red Executioners though. . . It seems like best method is to down them and then do a team melee and repeat with. Or add some back/head shots into it.
Also regarding 5-5. It looks like we now hold the record for highest score in duo

That sucks D: We were doing pretty good too. I can play a few more rounds haha. Normal Salvadors are fine but the crazy ones have invincibility frames or something (I think you mentioned something similar earlier, something about missing the feet?). Otherwise the crazy ones would be too easy; stun with grenade/proximity mine/rocket launcher thingy and then spam magnum on my part. I have too hard of time trying to get accurate shots on them while they're dancing around.kiryogi said:
Haha yeahhh! Feels good to be on top! Ken and Smithnco have some beastly scores though.

As Ken mentioned, it's a major fear to miss trying to hit their feet. If you can nail their feet fast enough when you're close to them, it'll stun them. However, if you miss, you're gonna eat chainsaw. Which what I meant by being too courageous... or suicidal. Haha.
And well, in general, we got a very solid bunch of folks here on Mercs.
edit: And updated the scores with the most recent outings I've done. Alright gonna be up in a sec.
Chris' rifle, without any damage buffs, will down the giant chainsaw guy with one shot to the leg. Not sure how many shots the other rifles need to down him though.kiryogi said:As Ken mentioned, it's a major fear to miss trying to hit their feet.

Haha. I have 3D on full all the time, it's a really nice effect.MooMoo said:
It's no problem, for awhile there I was also just using random skills to go at it. Only recently have I finally decided on a serious skill set. Still manage some awesome scores regardless. The skills help, but what really matters is how you handle yourself. GAF is pretty good about keeping chains going and whatnot. . . Randoms online, not so much.
Only thing bugging me is getting the scores out of the 200ks for the EX Prison and Shipyard. It's pretty funny looking at the score list how low the Shipyard ones are.
Out of curiosity, how do you guys prefer to grab the time bonuses?
For example, ever since RE4 Mercenaries, I always picked up all the time bonuses on the map before killing. Seems like it would make keeping combos going easier, at least in solo play when you can't really afford to lose a second breaking a time bonus during a combo.

So far I like just doing them as I move along and when in coop, basically each person grabs the one in their respective starting areas. Although yeah, from RE4/5 mercs vids, everyone seems to go for bonuses first then start killing.
I agree with that strat for solo, but in duo, I see it working a lot better moving along since there's twice the coverage.
