RPD Dispatch 2 - Playing RE2

[Enrico Marini]

Haha, nice.

Alzaire pointed something out to me I never noticed. If you are with Sherry and stop walking, she holds your hand.

I just like how Sherry hides behind Claire, holding onto her leg.

[Project Omega]

Sherry only holds your hand if you are facing the same way she is to a certain degree. Her hand stays there is Claire turns abit so you can make it seem like Sherry is inappropriately touching Claire if you so wanted to >_>

[Enigma_632]

Rape... door?

WTF.

Never saw Sherry hide behind Claire before. Must've been even longer than I thought since I last played it.

[Stars_g36]

Yeah, but I recall that the one thats used in the second floor of the RPD on the desk has the handgunparts, and the other desk on the first floor has a box of shotgun shells. I can't find where the final drawer is ;(

in the drawer with the ink ribbon in the reception room to the left of the main hall ;) before the licker scene.

[Dot50Cal]

Haha, I love how you have a moment of clarity in the B scenario when you read the report on the P Epsilion gas and how it makes enemies stronger. Your heart just sinks

[Dot50Cal]

I noticed something odd. In the manual for RE2, it says you can get an S rank. But it doesn't list the requirements. Is this just a translation mistake, where they forgot to remove this part? On various cheat sites it says:

S Rank: Beat the game in 1:30. Use only One herb. don't use any weapon upgrades, no special weapons (like the R. Launcer) and don't pick a weapon up more than one time, like if you pick up the shot gun from the weapon owner, don't go and get it on the police station.

Which sounds like bullshit to me. Anyway, Three more play-throughs now and I'll have Tofu. Hopefully on this next one I'll be able to get the Gatling gun. It requires that you don't save and beat the game in under 2 1/2 hours. Seems simple enough ;)

[A-J]

the S rank thing is utter bullshit ..

[Helegad]

Holy shit, nice time, Dot.

[Dot50Cal]

I even looked in all the US RE2 manuals, they all say S rank is attainable. What the heck? Its gotta be bull. I guess you can test this pretty easy on the PC. Just warp to the last room and win No health or anything.

You gotta remember that you can skip cutscenes in the Gamecube versions. John and Chris tell me you can't in the Playstation 1 version. I messed up a whole lot in that run through too. I imagine you can get an ace time using the special weapons ;D

[A-J]

I imagine you can get an ace time using the special weapons ;D

if you use the unlocked special weapons, it automatically reduces your rank to B. The button input cheat codes shouldn't do that though.

[Dot50Cal]

Yeah, but when going strictly for time, a rank wouldn't matter ;)

[Helegad]

Would it be possible to do a run under, say, 1:15:00?

[Sonicboy 101]

Would it be possible to do a run under, say, 1:15:00?

The best time I've seen as of yet if 1:19:50, but I'd say it's possible...

[A-J]

actually i've scored at 1:00 mark on the PC version of leon's B scenario myself. (with the cheats on).

[Dot50Cal]

You can skip door sequences in the PC version, right?

Offtopic: AJ, Are you on Neogaf? I keep seeing someone with that same avatar.

[A-J]

yeah, thats me.

and yeah you can skip door sequences in the PC version.

[TheSelfishGene]

I don't know about 1 herb for an S rank, but you aren't allowed to use any first aid sprays. Only herb mixes. First Aid sprays reduce your ranking. That said, I don't know if there IS an S rank in the US version. All I'm adding is that FAS's will reduce your rank.

[Helegad]

I find the FAS restrictions pretty stupid. FASes are rare anyway, and they're just the same as a red+green herb mix which are easy to make.

[A-J]

it would've made much more sense in RE3 where you can carry multiple FAS's in a single item slot, but surprisingly RE3 is a lot more easy going when it comes to rank, you can get away with using one or two FAS's.

This topic reminded me that I just burned BIO2 a few weeks ago.So I am goin to play it on Hard with a Knife.I remember doing this with RE3 on hard,lol it took me 1 month and 5 saves,But of course I was 7
