Game: Resident Evil 5

[darkshadow]

I dunno what the full disc costs, it's pointless for 360 anyway, since the gold edition for 360 is just packed with a download token.

All the dlc in total will set you back ~€/$14,- for 360 (1120 points), same for ps3.

edit:

I just started lost in nightmares and I really like it already, really gives off the old RE vibe, I mean even the doors open the oldskool way ;D.
It also definitly feels like a much updated code (1.03 vs 2.0), somehow feels more fluent, AI seems to be less quirky and the gfx engine feels even smoother as well.

Only 14dlls? Well that decides it. Im getting the DLC.

screw the motion controller. I wasn't even going to buy it anyway.

Now I just need to get a PSN card.

EDIT:

the costume packs got switched around though, and I really wanted sheva fairytale, so that's good.

How long are the new episodes? I don't really care for costumes or Merc mode.....

[darkshadow]

I dunno, not that long I guess, but if you liked RE1 I'm sure lost in nightmares is well worth it.

[RyougaZell]

How long are the new episodes? I don't really care for costumes or Merc mode.....

Merc Mode in RE4 was awesome. I didn't got drawn into the RE5 version though. But the inclusion of one of my favorite RE characters, Rebecca, will make me play it this time around.

I heard the episodes aren't that long, but like darkshadow said, they look worth it. As DLC, not as Full retail.

[darkshadow]

Ok my first playthrough on veteran took me 1h and 43mins, and was pretty intense at times, my second playthrough was with jill and on amateur, cause I just wanted to get some achievements fast, and only took 33 mins.
Amateur takes away some encounters, enemies were really weak, didn't read any documents, and I knew exactly what to do.

And even then I could've done it faster, since I wasted some time on playing the piano with jill ;P.

But yeah overall, short and sweet DLC, you get exactly what you pay for, perhaps a bit more if you care for the nostalgia factor.
Good stuff, bring on dlc #2, Desperate Escape ;].

Gameplay footage by me from the DLC:

This shows of the first part of the mansion and the old style camera you can use. Good times .

[RyougaZell]

Bah... I wanted to play this during the weekend. I even managed to get my hands on a PSN card thanks to one of my brothers going to McAllen.

Fucking Wallmart didn't active the damn card. Fortunately my brother works in the border... so he'll go and complain today.

[darkshadow]

Finished 2 playthroughs of Desperate Escape, once with jill and once with josh.
Will go for the professional run later when the achievements aren't glitched anymore.

Pretty awesome DLC though, higher production values and tons of enemies rushing you. It's also longer then LIN, it actually feels like a regular chapter of the game.
I do recommend playing it at veteran right away, it got pretty insane at some points.

Rebecca is really a great addition to mercenaries, in fact I think she might be the best one, Barry and Excella were pretty great, but Rebecca is just plain broken. Barry is still more fun to use though.

Overall RE5: Gold Edition packs some pretty sweet content, grab it if you haven't played RE5 yet, or just grab the DLC if you have.
Good stuff (want moar:x).

[RyougaZell]

Lost in Nightmares was fucking fantastic. What I would have loved the full RE5 to be.

Im waiting for Desperate Escape to debut on the PSN tomorrow.

And with Rebecca I shall return to Mercenaries. I didn't test Barry or Excella yet, and Im not interested on the other skins for Chris or Sheeva

[Psyke]

Damnit the Asian PSN is slow. I want to play the RE5 DLC.

[darkshadow]

It seems the DLC has been bundled now, you can get it all for 960 points or $/€11,25

[RyougaZell]

That includes the extra skins?
I bought the 2 new scenarios separatedly for 4.99 each, that is 9.98.
The new skins are 1.99 each... 2.98....

So in total it would be 13.96... so its a 2.71 savings for the skins? Bleh, it was cheaper without them.


Though, if you tell me this 'bundle' included Versus Im gonna rage.

[darkshadow]

Nah it's just the latest dlc, LIN/DE and the costumes.

[RyougaZell]

Ah I see. Since I don't want them guess I don't lose anything.

I hate the fact you can't use the 'new' characters with the old ones. So no Wesker in the same game as Barry or Rebecca.

Lame.

[darkshadow]

It is indeed kinda odd, since this is supposed to be a stars reunion, so at least STARS wesker should've been made playable, same with STARS chris/jill. Seeing how jill is also flying the chopter this time around, that would've not worked out so well though.

[RyougaZell]

I haven't even touched Excella. I've just beeing toying around with Rebecca and a fast one with Barry.
But hey... if Rebecca is 'still 18' then we can bloody have Stars Wesker and Stars Jill... heck I wouldn't have minded even non-Star characters that are more exciting that Excella... like Billy, Ada, Claire, Leon or Hunk.

[darkshadow]

I actually find excella suprsingly fun to play with ( not as fun as barry though), she really gives you the feeling she is just humiliating everything she kills.
She is also actually pretty good, better then barry at least, slightly.
