RE5 DEMO GOT
I HAVE SUCH AMAZING FRIENDS. Who let me use their stuff, lawl
My buddy Nick (who, like all of my other friends, kindly tolerates my fannish tendencies) happens to own an XBox 360 and he brought it by the apartment today.
So guess what we did.
RESIDENT EVIL 5 DEMO FTW.
I NEED A NEW PARTNER. Nick's never played an RE game before (though he started RE0 when I told him it was made of win and awesome) and pretty much failed epically as Chris for the first few runs. He died about every five minutes, and I had to constantly bark out orders at him and keep track of him as well as myself.
Took us a couple of hours, but we did finally beat both scenarios. The first one was easier, by far (stupid fucking chainsaw zombies fdsklf;udskfjsdk I hated you in 4 I hate you more now fjdlks;ufklsdjf;s), but we managed both in the end.
And then tempest_arashi and I had a go. Beat the first scenario on our first go, because we found this place to hang out where the axe-wielder couldn't reach us (third floor, baby~!), but died pretty quickly at the second. Ah, well.
I think the aiming system is going to take me a while to get used to. I played Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, where the system was based on a point, click, and shoot to kill system (which I lovelovelove because I kick some decent ass at it), so I'm not used to the laser sights. I did manage to speed up the aiming speed, which is nice because it's a little closer to what I'm used to (I'm used to having to compensate with hairline adjustments after each shot, thanks to my inability to hold still), but it was still slower than I would have liked.
I did really like the co-op mode. Playing this on my own isn't going to be nearly as fun, I don't think, but I'll do what I can over Spring Break. Making Jake or TJ or my brother play with me all of the time will probably make me take me longer, and my goal is to beat it in less than a week. Having to split Chris and Sheva up to perform certain tasks was a nice idea. Thoug,h it only amped up my nervousness given that I played as Sheva first and thus couldn't run off to help Nick-as-Chris whenever he needed help (which was often).
ALSO I MANGED TO KILL OFF MEGAPHONE DUDE. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PART. I KILLED MEGAPHONE DUDE. BY STOMPING ON HIS HEAD. /o/ \o\ \o/
