Resident Evil 5 Isn’t Too Hard
A lot of people happen upon my site by searching for Resident Evil 5 and how tough the Veteran difficulty is. I wrote about the frustrating challenge I faced with attempting Resident Evil on Veteran, but I’ve since completed this mode in just over 5 hours, and it turns out it’s pretty easy!
Perhaps the sole aspect that makes Resident Evil 5 so tricky - on any difficulty - is the limited supply of ammo you tend to have stored in your inventory at any given time. While Majinis and co. do drop a generous amount of ammo, the enemies take a good few hits to incapacitate if you haven’t upgraded any weapons, so you can go through a significant amount of ammo in a short time. Turns out, though, that you can unlock unlimited ammo for the rocket launcher if you complete the game in under 5 hours.
A friend and I decided this would be the smartest thing to do before attempting it on Veteran, and in just over 3 hours, which was in one sitting, we had finished the story on Amateur, unlocking unlimited ammo for the rocker launcher. KABLOOM! (That’s my rocket launcher noise).
I don’t have anything derogatory to say about Alan Wake. My advice to you? Spend a night in Bright Falls and soak up the eerie atmosphere. Alan Wake excels at thrilling you psychologically. Which is why it’s called a psychological thriller, I guess…
