OH the Lickers are as blind as bats

You only ever have to go through that area once and that's pretty much the first time where you can move the cabinet away after immediately using the C4 and easily dodge the one licker that automatically pops up. I really don't see what's the problem here.

>There's never a moment in the game where a Licker is just by the door ready to bite your ass
This isn't entirely true. If you go through the west office from the main hall when Mr X is coming for your ass, there's a licker right outside the door opposite the security deposit room. You can avoid it, but if you're not expecting it, you can get your ass handed to you.

git gud

>Their AI is busted, they always spawn in the same spot depending on which door you enter a hallway through, same route taken, and they "freeze" in the spot you were last detected in which can actually deadend you if you try to run into the weapons locker room while detected for example, one will just remain hugging the door and get "detected" every exit attempt.
This was the only time I ever had a real big problem with a Licker (getting cornered in the weapons locker room) and even then you can just quickly run past them through to the office in the next room over.

Which door? I know the place you're talking about but I don't think I've ever had the problem of a Licker being right in my face when I go into that area.

Just walk slowly behind them and start knifing the hell out of them. Then they are very easy.

Wait I know which door you're talking about. That rarely ever happens though, and usually the Licker is positioned either on the far left side. It's only ever positioned near the right side of the door if you've completely wiped out all the zombies in that area, which isn't necessary if you removed their legs.

Walk by them. I never waste a single bullet on them in my playthroughs. Just walk, don't walk into them and they will NEVER attack. Guaranteed.

This. On my S+ run, I never had to shoot any of them.

HOLD THE "OPEN DOOR" BUTTON NEAR THE DOOR, DON'T JUST PRESS IT

That's one cute angry Naoto.

Well I go through there because I want to go to other rooms and the fucking Mr X is right behind me. The library is a good place to get rid of him and go to the lobby but with two fuckers crawling in there I can just avoid that room.

Why don't people take them out before Mr X appears? I know it's possible in Leon's first run.

I have never ever at any one point encountered this problem. Did you like fucking barge in running? If you did than it's your own fucking fault.

zombies do that but not lickers

Lickers actually do detect your presence even when you walk or open a door. I tested it on a Licker at the police station that was crawling around outside of leon’s office. It would stop it’s patrol and stand still if I popped the door open, but resume its patrol if I closed the door. There is another one outside of the STARS office that will dropp from the ceiling if you are in close proximity, no matter how slowly you walk.

>There is another one outside of the STARS office that will dropp from the ceiling if you are in close proximity
This does not happen to me. When I walk closely past that one all it does fidget around and make noise until I'm past. It only ever drops down if I run or shoot.

Make sure you don't start to run into a hallway make sure your at a dead stop at a door then go through. Knife the fucks and do not let up till they die move with them when knocked back and get stunned. If your not speed running i highly suggest you clear out the place enough to safely move around. Unlock the infinite knife and go to town. Also i had them agro my ass even with these tips the game is not perfect.
Oh one more thing clear out the library knock them down and knife them and move the book case to it only takes two times to move (makes dealing with x easy)

LOL i always look through the window to see if there next to the door but that has happened to me to.

They don't actually detect you, they just get suspicious and starts moving towards you if you're in a certain range of them. It's not the sound of the door (they can't hear that), it's always just your proximity to them. They only detect you and go aggressive if they touch you or if you make a loud noise like running or shooting

your sprinting into the door you fucking retard.

That's why i kill them. Now that i s+ everything i go out of my way to kill them. In fact when i was doing my s+ rank runs i still killed almost all lickers and still got s+. Your right they are easy when you knife them.

>It does happen.
make a webm of it you bitch ass nigga.
I know you won't because you're talking out of your ass.

I've completed the game seven times and this has never happened to me. You're doing something wrong.

>You know the area with the cell door you need to blow up that leads to the library? Well there are TWO fucking lickers in there. The moment I open any door leading to that area I get attacked. There is no way to avoid that. How the fuck does that have anything to do with getting good.
the secret to pass by them without being detected is first when you open the door you have to git gud

>"lol dodge him user"
HOW?

shoot. walk out of the room, walk back in.

That's what I did. Shoot I mean. What I find hilarious is people saying you have to dodge all the time, without using your gun for some reason...There's situations you just can't dodge

I've played the game ~6 times and the only licker I haven't been able to walk past is the one that spawns after blowing open the iron doors with the C4

You're still dodging them there though. You are only shooting your gun to reset their position so they aren't blocking the hallway anymore

Of course, it's a fuckin script

yeah, so my point is that user saying "There's situations you just can't dodge" it's more like just one situation.

I think the game is great but this is one of the worst individual sections of the game. The only way to not get attacked is to anticipate the scripted licker leap by pulling the pin of your flashbang before the monster even spawns so that the flashbang detonation perfectly aligns with the tiny time window between its intial spawn iframes and the scripted leap attack. And even then you absolutely need to have already lifted the bookshelf because the stun from a flashbang on lickers last only three seconds or something. I think it should make a creature with that kind of hearing permanently deaf.

stop playing the game user.
you're too retarded for it.

Yea this has been posted before whoever this was fucked up hard please try again...

Not him but several times I have juked around Mr X and sprinted into the library after grabbing the goddess medallion and I didn't even see the licker spawn. Maybe that just happens in the B scenario though, or it has something to do with going back into the library as the C4 blows to make sure the bookcase doesn't fall

The bookcase always falls but you can lift it before getting the medallion so that you're ready for a quick getaway as the licker spawns and the zombie wakes up. Still doesn't help you against the scripted attack that happens whether you make noise or not. You need to cheese it with the flashbang.

no, if you go outside into the library while the C4 blows the bookcase will not fall

As a bunch of others said you should be able to walk right past them but if you're having issues with going through doors too quickly just have your gun drawn before you push through the door, gently release it and briskly walk away.

>There is just one way of openning a door in this game so I can not get good.
There is actually TWO (2).

Sure, the game is fucking terrible, an all around downgrade from the original RE2, but it certainly is not hard like that.

Well that open space is easy as fuck. That cell area is the problem. Also nothing in that video is narrow so you can sneak by with a fucking forklift and they wouldn't notice you.

you can do the exact same thing in the cells. you just suck shit.

I've sneaked by the one blocking the corridor of the kennel when returning from turning on the basement generator on every playthrough without him ever detecting me. You walk so close to him it looks like you're less than an inch away but he doesn't detect you if you just hug the wall and go straight past

From my experience the only lickers that you can't sneak past are the ones in the cryo level of the labs. There's also the time when X miraculously homes in on you in the records room and you have to run out, but if you stun him then and there you don't need to hurry to escape and you can still sneak past the licker in the armory hallway.

My god, how people can be so retarded in fucking RE2?

Have you tried walking slowly through a door instead of shoulderbashing it open with a dash?

>lickers
lmao just firegrenade them when they're on the floor or magnum them twice in the head
you won't need that ammo for anything else anyway, just waste lickers and the G adults in the gore sewer gauntlet with it

Anyone else have the problem in this game that the playthrough ranking that is gatekeeping the special (albeit useless) features is almost entirely based on speedrunning, and you don't want to keep replaying and rehearsing every moment over and over in fear of irreversibly destroying all of your future replayability forever?

Attached: tummy-ache.jpg (681x681, 219K)

Yeah, fuck all the extra content being speedrun shit. I'm not autistic enough for this shit.
Whatever happened to mercenaries or raid mode?

you should try it it's actually pretty exhilarating. I hated speedruns before this game

No, my time is too valuable for that.

But speedruns take less time than replaying normally and hunting for 'cheeves

Fuck that shit too. Some retarded kill combo score attack arcade bing bing wahoo garbage is just as stupid as the ranking of a survival horror game being based on the quantity reckless rushing thorugh with zero regard to safety. At least 4th survivor kinda makes sense. You need to hurry to your extraction at a time when the infestation is at its zenith.
So the answer to your rhetorical question whatever happened to mercenaries or raid mode? They are where they belong. Not in a Resident Evil game.

>EXCEPT FOR ALL THE SHIT THAT MAKES YOU LOSE TIME SO YOU START OVER
because fuck exploring looking at my enviroment and all that other stuff, oh and might as well play the game 6 more times as well, what else do I have to do in this shitty world with no games?

why would a flash bang work on blind enemies?

it makes sound you idiot

Attached: death.jpg (1024x1024, 110K)

You do know that flashbang also creates deafening sound? Lickers have heightened hearing so the flashbang will make their ear ring a lot.

I cant even get myself to play it after 7 hours.. does it get any better?
I'm so damn bored. I'm maybe 1 hour in after Mr X moved the crashed helecopter.

>use fire grenade on ceiling licker

This is why I love playing Claire over Leon

Attached: da downs.png (303x223, 82K)

I like Leon more cause the shotgun kills the zombies in 1 shot.

Yeah I was gonna post this because I had the same situation but I happened to get the drop on him from behind since I was sneaking away from X. Knifed that licker MS13 style.

You are breezing through (are you on assisted?). Play on hardcore or play with controller so you don't have leet gaymer mouse-aim. The game is more fun when it's challenging

I blew a zombies head off with the shotgun and it still came back to life lol. Goddamn adaptive difficulty.

That doesn't even work, the ones on the ceiling stop burning and get back up to attack again soon after the hit the ground. The ones on the ground will die from one nade though

even on hardcore how the fuck are you just an hour after Mr. X's first encounter with 7 hours played

Yeah I used fire nades to kill every licker (1 grenade can kill 2) with Claire because it was so easy and now I barely have any for the vine zombies
Does Claire have any other fire weapons?

Not him but tbf my first run (Leon) was taking about 10 hours or so because I was being OCD. Claire run is gonna be like 5 and a half it looks like.

no but you don't even need to kill vines as claire as the smg does enough work. Just pop a zit and run past them.

I believe you can shoot the bulbs on the vine zombies to kill them permanently

you're in for a treat

This, I'm really trying to explore and enjoy the game. I'm actually stuck in the sewers right now and just rush through it. Had my first boss fight and it was so damn boring. I'll keep pushing through.
