And now I'm through with the game, actually had a lot of fun, in the end even managed to play it after sunset and now have a way more positive view on the Resident Evil series. :)


Great. Now you can play as the other character for the second half of the story, or start over with the other character, and then play as your current character in the second half of the story. And there's always the others in the series, though most fans acknowledge Resident Evil 2 as the best of that style in the series.

Yeah, I started the B-scenario with Claire. I guess the freaking golem in the trenchcoat only appears in the B-scenario? I really think that's a great feature, having four scenarios to play through.

Usually I go right to the next game after beaten something, to get my backlog done, but with RE2, it's really hard to stop.

Playing as Claire, I have to correct my earlier complaint about how difficult it is to dodge enemies. Claire seems to run a bit faster and is more slender than Leon. It is much more easy to dodge enemies with her. As Leon, it is harder, but it's also not that bad because I guess Leon can take more hits and can shoot more bullets before he has to reload, so things are quite balanced as it seems.

You'll also find different weapons, so keep that in mind. In general I always preferred Leon's armaments, so playing as him felt better, but that's just me.

And that dude running around in a trenchcoat is called a Tyrant, if I remember correctly.

alright dudes, need help with the Knights in armor puzzle... I figured out which order to push the 3 knights, so then the third goes back into place. Then I hit the button on the table... then I'm poison gassed and die. WTF?

The snake killed me! I was so unprepared for that. Killed Plant 42 was going back to the mansion strolling about then hunters appeared, only had my handgun decided to run for it went upstairs thinking I'm just gonna use my new key pickup whatever is in those rooms and save after. On my three last bullets, yes I should ran to that room.... hey a record player... spin it... creepy tune.... snake eats me. Like an hour without saving have to do it all over again, but no frustration at all.

Yeah, sorry, I had a busy weekend. A friend I haven't seen in a while drove down to visit.

Anyway, if you're where I think you are, then you should have noticed that there are two grates on the ground. And you're being gassed, so that means it's coming from some opening in the room. And the bases of those sets of armor are the perfect size to block those holes...

Nah, I don't think that's the same puzzle. Or maybe it's changed since I'm playing the GC remake...

Wait, are you trying to grab the second Death Mask then? If so, there should be four knights in the room, not three. You have to move all four into a specific arrangement.

that's the room! Yes! 2nd death mask I guess, though I've already got three of them. Anyway, yes there are four knights, but when I move three of them then the third moves himself. Then I hit the button and the gas comes. So like I said, WTF.

It's been a couple days now, but I think the order was top right, lower left, lower right. Then the top left moved himself?
