>collect all the blood to increase grace's damage>grace doesn't shoot anything for the rest of the game
Yeah that was honestly pretty dumbWould have been better if you could instead craft high power ammo like in 7
>>740305153Just more proof that RE9 consists of 2 halves of a game shoved together in an attempt to make a whole.
>>740305274You can craft requiem bullets. I had like 7-8 by the end of graces section
>>740305416Yeah but they need the silly rare metalI just want something between the requiem and the regular pistol
>>740305153This whole game felt like two different unfinished game stitched together
>>740305551Its kind of weird how re games have no 45 acp guns which in real life are typically the medium between 9mm and magnum calibers.
>>740305842Pretty sure you get a .45 in the B scenario of re2 remake
>>740305842Kevin actually has a .45 Handgun in Resident Evil Outbreak as his Personal Item. The drawback is that; obviously, standard Handgun Ammo won't work with it.
>>740306047Yeah, leon gets a 1911 and claire gets a colt single action (even though .45 acp is at a higher pressure than .45 colt and would probably blow it up)
>>740305153You fight like a gorillion zombies and a dozen lickers when you get to the labs. It also helps a lot with the Blister Heads you run into in the later parts of the sanitarium
>>740306268I literally didn't shoot once during the lab, I just threw a bunch of acid on the lickers if they were in an annoying place
>>740305153The more I think about RE9, the more I just think the game had a massive identity crisis. Even with Leon's part... It's like they had no clear vision of what they really wanted to do, and just had to glue everything together in the end. Or if like, many small teams were doing stuff on their own and then someone had to copy each part to fill the game until the credits.Grace barely has any weapons, any ability to do anything... She doesn't get any action. She gets "atmosphere".Leon gets all the action, but even his part lacks ANY good bosses and/or interesting fights and a good location to explore...Instead, it's all empty, no voices, no dialogues... It's a disjointed game that leaves me with bitter taste.
>>740305842???
>>740307583The 45acp cartridge isnt a magnum round irl.
>>740307698Of course it's a magnum round, it's a .45 because they don't make no .46!
>>740305547Grace's section really needs a shotgun.
>>740307698The box doesn't specify .45ACP, so it could be .45 Win Mag.
>>740306945like two demos stuck together
>>740307894Grace can't use a shotgun she would get hurt
They should have just cut Leon and Zeno entirely, made the care center 3x as long, and gave Gideon a couple of underlings to be bosses
>>740305153Why can't she use her own blood? Aren't women like, always menstruating and shit?
>>740308128If we went with that she should've cracked her skull when firing the Requiem.
>>740305153this game was made in chatgpt
>>740306945Yeah, I'm still bitter that this game got so many 10 out of 10 review scores, it isn't horrible. But it isn't a perfect 10 either, as others have stated. It feels like two games stuck together, and kicked out the door for RE's anniversary.
>>740306945>>740308360Capcom has been trying to do the multiple campaigns with very different style horror game for a very long time now, and IMO 9 is the only game that got it right.
>>740305153what are you talking about I shot of a bunch of shit in the basement area. like grace's only combat gauntlet takes place in the basement
>>740307894no she needed a grenade launcher. they try to do the grenade gimmick with her and the molotovs and acid jars, might as well just commit to giving her the launcher
>>7403087129 got it half right, because both Grace and Leon's campaign only feels half finished. The blood collection and crafting is under baked. As the OP points out, the steroids and stabilizers aren't even able to be fully utilized because Grace's sections are effectively over by the time you get the last injector. Leon's weapon selection is half of RE4's and the weapons are less situational than they are just boring, slight upgrades. Additionally even if you kill every single enemy and sell off every single resource you can't afford to even fully upgrade 3 weapons on a NG+ run with the upgraded credit gain. As everyone has complained about, Raccoon City is just poorly put together and paced, and it really should have been built more around getting access and into the ARK. Instead there is just a bland open world section to open a gate with set pieces that don't really interact with or influence each other.And speaking of the ARK, it's a section that could have been more like the Care Center with more twisting and looping sections to gain access to the center, but instead it is 2 hallways with what amounts to effectively 2 large rooms that, again, don't interact with or influence the rest of the level at all.
>>740308273one of her photo mode poses is her being flung backwards like a ragdoll with Requiem kek

Grace's half of the game is a perfect replication of classic RE in this regard. You've got the manor bits, the underground (the caves in RE1, and the Sewers in RE2) linear bits and the underground lab climax.
>>740309389I just finished this garbage and man, what a disappointment, especially with all the rave reviews. Worst mainline RE game since giraffe blowjob.Aside from all the issues brought up in this thread, especially the feeling of 2 different games stitched together, what really bothered me was the movement. Character movement feels really stiff, clunky and awkward, especially after coming from RE4 Remake where both Leon and Ada have really smooth and fluid movement.In the beginning I thought it was just because I was playing as Grace, but Leon's movement is just as stiff and awkward.The game is also pretty short but I was actually glad that it didn't overstay its welcome.
