is re4 hard or easy for you

Has anyone unlocked mercs yet? Is it harder or easier than the GC or PS2 versions? Because if it isnt easier i'll never be able to get the handcannon :(

Its alot easier up until the island. IDK why but i just couldnt beat the first part of that very easily. For the most part though i find this game to be alot easier. I havent unlocked mercs yet so that could change.The1BigBoss

mercenaries really isnt that hard atleast to me because i unlocked the handcanon in about a day.

Pretty hard on the gamecube but, easier on the Wii.cronus233

Yeah they limited the ammo drops and upped the money drops

Well I only played a little of the PS2 version and I bearly got passed the first part.

But so far in the wii edition Its been okay but it does have its moments.

I can't even get past the village on Pro, it's that hard for me.

it's sad. i still haven't gotten past the first village :( lolnmhwii9791

Its not easy but its not hard either.shockwave04

Have to learn to run past stuff and that if you fire they tend to become aware of you. Have to also learn to use the d-pad to look around corners and use the terrain. Also shoot the legs first to slow them down. It's also neat that there are different reactions and vids to what you are doing.

to be honest, I say it was prety hard when I first played it. Then when I restarted, it was easy and fast.

... I guess this implies to all games huh.

Lawl I literlly died excatly 113 times my first play through on the gamecube. 110 of those deaths were during the cutscenes where you have only a millisecond to hit the buttons.

Some parts are easy, other parts are hard. Spend some time getting really comfortable with the controls.

For people having trouble in the first village scene. The major point of the encounter is to get you used to the game in a trial by fire. It also is designed to drain you of ammo and health to really give you the feeling that you're playing a survival horror game.

Try to village a few times, get a strategy together, then restart the game with your knowledge and better handle on the controls.

Two solid areas to wait out the first major encounter are the first and third buildings on the left.

The first is a barn with a loft that offers a very defendable area. Just keep dodging the things they throw and keep knocking down the ladder to knock over the villagers and buy time. One problem is that there isn't really any help if you run out of ammo.

The third door brings you to the greatest asset to any zombie slayer, the shotgun! It has a disadvantage of several areas you have to defend and can get a bit hectic.

Another option is to book it through and if you can get around a certain chainsaw wielding pain-in-the-patootie, then you can limp to the next area.

My suggestion is to use the back entrance to the village, go into the second building (the door is on the side), pilfer the cupboards for ammo, jump out the back window and pick up the herb, then go to the third building and pick up the boomstick and any ammo. Block the doors to slow the masses then travel along the roof tops and jump down in front of the first building with the loft. Stake a claim to the loft and hold them off until the bells tolls (for whom?!).

If you can avoid getting stuck in a large group, you should make it through with a decent bit of ammo and healing items to give you a solid ground for the next encounters. Try to stockpile ammo, practice your aim, learn to use your knife when you aren't being overrun. Emphasis on the SURVIVAL part of the game makes the game much easier in the latter parts. It's tempting to blow through cases of ammo, but as they become scarce later in the game, do your best to save today and avoid tight situations later.

yeah. atleast it seemed like it. it took me a while on GC.

I got passed the village first time on pro.

I did notice the crates give different things not sure if it is a random occurance or it depends on how I do things. If I dispatch the three enemies near the first house near the crate I often find an incideray grenade. If I whack them in other locations by jumping out the second story window often that crate has nothing.

If I dispatch that chainsaw guy near the farm entrance while in that hut near it he drops a ruby. If I dispatch him in the second story of a building in the village he doesn't drop squat.

Also the crows seem to drop stuff like grenades. Cannot seem to be able to get a bead on the first two crows you encounter in the game though. Also does the wolf you free do anything for you?

what i do is wait to get the shotgun so you dont have to kill the chainsaw guy. i run in to get the peoples attention then run back to the door were you come from. kill the guys standing near the door turn around and what i do is shoot there heads and then kick them.I usually have plenty of ammo after that part.

the wolf helps you kill the first El Giantie(the giant monster thing that islike 10 times your size)or whatever its called.I prefer TMP and upgraded to full as of that point in the game. Makes it very easy.

Aiming is much easier and more accurate (I think). Moving around and whatnot is still a little awkward with the no strafing. I don't think the actual game is any harder though.

The strategy that I put down is bogus though. I played through the village last night and I was remembering the Mercenaries village instead of the in game village.
