Guillotine throw is hard to use reliably and the pay-off was for some reason nerfed to make it pretty much useless. Only time I find it useful in RE is when I'm dispatching of stationary archer/rocket-launcher type enemies. Total 180 from NG1/2.

Nah the guilt throw can be a life saver, it is nerfed though in RE but still is very useful :p

I find myself using Wind Path/Run in place of the Guillotine Throw, actually. Guillotine Throw rarely kills and gives the enemy a chance to mess me up later if I try to focus on other enemies. Wind Path/Run stuns the enemy in place, within my reach, and keeps me in control of the mobs. Much better option in my opinion.

Yeah I use the wind path to give me a chance to place in a strategy and line up enemies

Anyone beaten Hard yet? I'll finish tonight but I'm curious about needing to collect scarabs and their rewards again on higher (or lower, since Normal is confirmed to not stack with Hard...) difficulties.

Doesn't matter what difficulty you get them at, same thing applies for test of valors, so I'm skipping the piece of shit Marbus challenge

Alright then. I've skipped most of the challenges anyway; mostly because, while I did see the skulls, I decided I didn't care enough to look for how to get to some of them lol. The ones I did get I was usually looking for scarabs and accidentally found them.

Missing out, the trials are really fun except for the day 4 trial, plus you get a costume I think

I'll get the costumes on my Normal run since I have to play it anyway. Saves me time in the long run.

Yeah, tac ninjas got buffed. They mainly just block all the time.
A lot of the enemies, bosses included, got buffed up. A lot of the loops no longer work, either. I'm not sure I enjoy a few of the balance changes but it's hard to say that I'm not enjoying the added challenge in general.

Some got nerfed as well, though. Zedonious in particular is way easier than he was in either NG2 or NGS2. Alma's a mixed bag because on one hand she only throws one pillar at a time now, but on the other hand she spams the hell out of that annoying beam-grab move.

I had trouble landing a solid hit on Alma to knock her down but she literally never hit me. She's much easier to evade now.

Agreed, though she did hit me twice with that beam move. xD
I wasn't expecting her to spam it that many times in a row, and I'm trying to kinda rush the story once through for the unlocks, then take my take on subsequent ones.

I'm 50/50 on this game so far but I havent had a lot of time to play it save a couple hours last night cause of work. Ryu seems to move slower than he did in the demo and the inability to slide dodge out of a combo is really annoying as are all the rockets to the back of the head when I'm getting up but I've adjusted the more I've played. It wouldnt be NG without getting your ass kicked after all.. add me on PSN, I would love to play with some fellow fans on the trails
