New DRM.. is it really there?

[RandalMcdaniel]

-I was able to make the executable large address aware (can use more than 2gb of ram if it wishes) using NTcore 4gb patcher.

-I was able to install reshade

-Im able to use cheat engine to speed through the cutscenes

these reviews scared me into thinking id need to get my hands on a different version

I think im gonna go ahead and purchase the DLC for this game (i can get it for $3.09)

i never played re5 before, im kinda excited. Should i block the game in firewall to avoid other players joining? I dont like that it is co op/networky like this. I prefer singleplayer games

and i used cheatengine to speed up the unskippable cutscenes. Hate it when developers make decisions for me. Im watching that huh? We'll see about that

i used to pay attention to stories in games, but now that im 34 and think back over all my gaming memories, i literally NEVER think about cutscenes. So im just going to be true to myself and skip the things my brain has made it CLEAR it does not care about. Even when i try to care and watch all the cutscenes, those memories fade anyways regardless. So im not being fake anymore. I dont care about video game stories. I seriously cant think of a good game story. I dont think there ever has been one. Real life has interesting stories however. Like that submersible going to see the titanic and getting lost was 10000x more captivating to me than any video game story. So yeah. I dont care about video game stories. I want gameplay.

Although i skip everything, i still understand the plot of all the games i play. Its hard not to. I get it. Biohazard. terrorists. Double-crossed. Evil man!! Zombies. Seriously the story of video games insults my intelligence

Apparently, it's been there for years. I haven't cared because it hasn't affected my performance. The game is okay solo, but you'll probably have a better experience with multiplayer.

[RandalMcdaniel]

me? definately not lol. I hate multiplayer

[Narrowmind]

Oh, well then, the usual tip is to take all the weapons from your partner and do all the fighting yourself. Otherwise, you'll waste a ton of ammo. I hope you enjoy yourself.

Some other player joined before (despite me selecting LAN so no people could join) and i used cheatengine to speed up the games very first cutscene and when i was done he wasnt moving anymore so i exited the whole game (i just now just realized his cutscene probably was still going lool)

If you want to Create OFFLINE lobby, (to prevent others to joining to you, even friends)
then in "Network" tab, when you selecting chapter (or hitting continue)
set "Co-Op Settings" to "Rogue" (that way you'll be with BOT)

*********
Network selection is not fully explained, but it's similar* for L4D2 lobby.
When you creating lobby, and hosting server from your PC to public.
*********

If you want to play Fully SOLO, without BOT, there is mod that "removes" partner, call "Alone in Africa"

Btw, you don't need to use 3rd party tools to FORCE other player to leave lobby, you can kick the player (if you are host) by hitting ESC and here you can kick him.*

thanks for the tip i actually did that once or twice already and it seems retroactive and doesnt care about your progress because i technically havent gotten a weapon yet so the very first quest objective of the game wont complete until i sell this handgun i have from my first attempt at pressing new game, thats cool it works like that

thanks for the offline mode tip miniplay

and i definately want the ai partner im just not interested in co-op is all

The RE5 is designet to be played with human partner, some areas could be tricky, if you don't know how to control AI bot, and when at all don't know mechanics of the game.
I can only recommend to play with some one.
There are plenty of posts where peoples looking for some one, or you can join to some re5 dedicated group.

If you finish game solo with bot, then try again with human
(but choose some one normal)
((Friend / or find some one on group/disc.))

Btw, why you need to use CheatEngine to Speed up cutsceens ?

[RandalMcdaniel]

because after pressing every button on my controller/keyboard, i only encountered one skippable cutscene. Im not dealing with that.

[Skall [CZ]]

Cutsceens with QTE are partially skipable.
(Mented in way, you can skip until qte event acourt, but with auto-qte in settings , you can just start pressing esc and wait until cutsceen end.)
Normal cutsceens can be skipped olmost at the instant just by pressing esc.

(Or via teainer , to completly turn off cutsceens xD)

I'm sorry you don't like it.

[RandalMcdaniel]

FINALLY beat it, why couldnt you just tell me you need to run from those first enemies and simply survive? That would have saved me a lot of time.. whatever. Im now further into re5 than ive ever gotten before

[Narrowmind]

You only can't move when you're shooting. Guns tend to require distance. Like in real life, attacks with melee weapons tend to be a lot more deadly at close range. So run away and get distance before engaging. Use the explosive barrels to kill crowds of enemies. Don't stay in the house any longer than when they come in from the roof. Stay mobile.

Edit Good work.

[RandalMcdaniel]

ive made it further into the game (just killed a flying boss and got SVD sniper rifle so now i got two sniper rifles)

this is a good game. This is actually like re4. Lots of content and its nice to play a finished complete game for a change

plus i completely fixed the graphics, its crazy the game is literally YELLOW without the re5fix color filter remover feature. The cutscenes are still yellow so its INSANE to see the difference when a cutscene plays

its like the difference between playing a game in color vs black and white.. But except in this case its not black and white its YELLOW

i still dont have any idea what the developers were thinking making the very first combat scene in the game so difficult with that executioner guy tho.. There hasnt been anything else even 10% as hard as that afterwards. I wasnt being irrational that part was insane because i googled it and many others shared the same sentiment or were just completely confused in general. You can argue its to introduce the player to the combat.. but no other combat is like that.. Seriously strange.

I think the word you were looking for is sepia. But yeah, it's an okay game. It's not RE, to me, but it's a good game.

[RandalMcdaniel]

i would never look for a word like sepia

i just did a 4hr session of re5, Great environments. challenging and rewarding gameplay. Great game asset/texture diversity. Great creature diversity, AWESOME weapon diversity, awesome sounds (the raw sound of sloshing an enemy brain with the cattle prod is priceless)
