Damn I must have replayed that final Birkin battle dozens of times but I finally got him, used up every single round I had and got the finishing blow with the knife, yeah the knife of all weapons, my HP was on danger too. It's been a long time since a game has given me an adrenaline rush like this.
I really should have been more careful with my ammo through out the game.
I can fully say even after just playing Claire A that I freaking LOVE this game, RE2(98) is in my top 3 of the entire RE franchise so the bar was high, but I'm happy to say that REmake 2 is meeting my expectations so far.
I was also unhappy before release about not having Allyson Court back as Claire just like I was with Revelations 2 and was just as uneasy about her appearance as her face looked off in the trailers, but I can happily say that her current VA did a great job, she'll never top Allyson Court, but she deserves credit here and Claire's face managed to grow on me as I saw it more. I really hope the same effect happens for DMC5's faces.
Also yeah, Mr X, I always chose flight mode whenever he showed up and I think a good hour or 2 of my playtime was cowering in the save rooms or running like hell to the save rooms just to take a breather and listening to those footsteps.
If Capcom can do Mr X this well then I can't imagine how much of a F**K YOU enemy that Nemesis is gonna be when REmake 3 comes.
Just got started on Leon B(Hardcore), gotta remember to watch the ammo this time.
