everything
Slightly bad:
Leon takes up a lot of the screen
This game is teh roxor. I've been walking through an off track pathway shooting out angry french people's kneecaps so they go down quicker. No more sissy auto aim. Then as they collapse to their knees I run up and round house kick them across the face.
Then I arrived at the village, got mobbed by villagers with pitchforks and scythes. My clip ran out and there was no time to reload (you can't do that inventory reload 'cheat' now either) so I ran across the village and headed into a house and barricaded the door. Cue loony paper bag man appearing and waving a chainsaw around, other villagers bring ladders and set them up to the upstairs window.
I ponce around looking for items and chainsaw man cuts through my wooden barricade, narrowly avoiding him I run up stairs and grab a shotgun off the wall. Seeing villagers climbing the ladder and starting to get in the room I realised I'm trapped, so I run into a corner between the bed where they can't get behind me and pull out the shotgun.
Unfortunatly I was a bit too slow and chainsaw man promptly decapitates me, blood gushes everywhere and 'You Are Dead' appears on the screen.
You want this game.
Also of note, walking into a shack to find a woman pinned a few feet off the ground by means of a pitchfork through the face, "No sex discrimination here" says Leon..

This was usually where I would get caught out by it if I was in a reload sequence. Standing right on the edge meant that I could jump down before getting hit while completely avoiding being head-smashed.
Honestly, when he goes to head-smash, if you stand at the front the neck will pass right through you. A little shoddy, but very useful.

Yeah I did that when I played thro' on normal. When playing on Pro, I shotgun'ed him in the face and took a magnum to Salazar. Was easy. Didnt have to contend with the head or tentacles at all.
It's the one before that you've got to watch out for.
Y'know, with Salazar, if you run round to the right as far as you can go, the main head bit can't attack you at all. The head smash thing never comes close, and he never did the head-split-massive-teeth-Leon-munch thing on me either.
You just get the tentacle out the way with a few shotgun blasts (and then you don't have to deal with any of those attacks either) then you've got free reign on the eye and the little cago bast.
Saved my rocket for the right hand.
I thought Salazar was bad until I realised that all I needed was one rocket. I spent ages and unloaded hundreds of TMP rounds into the little basts face and kept failing. Some good shooting then a rocket to the face and down he went.
Is the last boss much harder than Salazar?
> Vote: everyone's favourite bit in the game.
I haven't completed it yet, but so far I think the mine-car ride has been the best bit. It was the chainsaw wielding maniacs that really put the edge on it. Having to focus your efforts on them while still trying to fend off the others was a brilliant experience.
Mine goes to the knife fight most probably. Sublime.
Or perhaps the writhing bag. Which was just gross.
Still think the one hooked up in the cells should have jumped on your face, though - that would have emptied 90% of my bodily fluids.
Stand still, you feck, I'm trying to blow your fase off.
But then, he little timed bit at the end was a breeze.
Knees, face, knees, face.
