The final boss took a good few attempts as I had no health boosts left until I figured out how to get round that after the 28th go Just started Claire's now, it appears to be the exact same, sightly disappointing that. Did you do claires 2nd run? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Did you do claires 2nd run? Haha I almost made a terrible mistake and played Claire’s A run, after 10 mins realised it was completely the same and clocked her 2nd run, started that instead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire's first game takes a different path as well at a point in the RPD, and a wee bit once you get out of the station, plus the lab at the end as well, Once you do her 2nd game you get the true ending as well mind you, Oh and get used to cursing a lot more, it feels like claires weapons are way shitter than leons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do Claire's 2nd run and that'll probably be me, move on to something else! I'm an hour into Claire's 2nd run and already I know what you mean, zombies taking more hits to the head than normal and there is a lack of supply boxes and save points, should be a decent challenge!

M0rtonfc Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Finished the Claire 2nd run, is it even worth doing the Leon 2nd run? I really don't know if I can be arsed doing the game a 3rd time, maybe go back to it next month or something haha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand guns probably are worse, but at least the upgrades to the SLS-60 give you a magnum equivalent (although you can only find that ammo, not make it), and the Spark Shot is cute (decent for the Adult Gs in the sewers) but you really miss the Flamethrower for the Ivy Zombies when you are desperately trying to conserve Flame rounds for your Grenade Launcher with the boss fights still to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire's is certainly the better narrative, Leon doesn't really achieve much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont feel you get as much ammo for the launcher than you do shotgun shells, plus the launcher is a lot of damage over time injuries, shotgun is instant damage, but on bosses i agree the launcher is better The magnum is the dugs baws though, save that for G stages and mr x finale, claire has the upgraded sls but its ammo is limited lile you say, on standard and hardcore i feel leon just has the better firepower to get you out of the RPD which is the big part Ive not tried it yet, but seemingly the knife is the best weapon for lickers, apparently the stun lock from the knife slice is longer than it takes to swing your knife, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Greenhouse - not wanting to use precious Flame Rounds on the Ivies, I tended to either stun them or shoot their bulbs off knowing they'd be coming back, but worth it to get out with a full Grenade Launcher. Meant stage 3 G was pretty easy: SLS-60 High velocity rounds to the Eyes, Flame rounds to the chest eyes. Weirdly had far more ammo than I knew what to do with, whereas on my A run I was sweating every bullet from the stage 3 G to the Super Tyrant boss fight. On the last pre-true ending boss fight, I couldn't decide which was more fun. The Super Tyrant fight was hard going but with that super cathartic ending with the Rocket Launcher, on the other hand a Minigun is never not fun.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the flamethrower with leon, stage 3 G literally burns while you run away from him after scudding him with half a tank of flamethrower fuel lol Make sure you go back to the RPD for the extra fuel from the hidden treasure pictures Also in the B run, you can avoid mr x early on if you dont pick up the battery in the stars office, thats the trigger for him, go and get all other medallions and weapons before then, once you get the battery its a simple hop upto level 3, blow the wall, avoid him in the west storage room and head into the library and into the main hall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me, the Leon A game I was counting every bullet and when I found gunpowder or ammo there was mini celebrations but with the Claire B run even though some of the weapons are slightly weaker, less save points and ammo boxes I kinda felt it was a lot smoother and easier, it did help that I knew where to go for all the puzzle parts, items etc....but yeah by the time I got to the final boss stages I had loads of health in my ammo box along with granades and ammo, was able to deal with the bosses pretty easily due to that.

renton Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Finally finished the 4th Survivor challenge with a ridiculously shite time. Could never get a consistently good run, bits I'd do flawlessly only to f**k up after doing a bit that had been stopping me well. Kinda fell over the finishing line with hee haw health and ammo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Is the campaign still around the 2-3 hour mark (doing it quickly?) or have they added more story elements from the PS2? I remember managing to hit just over the 2 hour mark chasing that S ranking back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much you wanna blast through it, my first run through i clocked well over 5hrs because i was creeping around corridors and trying to stay away from mr x etc, plus i didnt go full pelt all the time because the environments etc were really bloody good and i wanted to enjoy it properly the first time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I clocked just over 11 hours for Leon, but that was me trying to stay away from MrX and maintaining my kleptomaniac tendencies of collecting and checking everywhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
