I am running:
First handgun fully maxed out those 5x crit hits are awesome
Almost fully maxed striker 48 shots of pure destruction
Stinger with High Power Scope with decent upgrades great for long range
MP5(or whatever it’s called in the game) with bio scope got a few upgrades but my got this is great for the Regenerator/Iron Maiden.

I just realised… They removed the U3 section.

I kept wondering why I couldn't stack the other grenades when I had a stack of 4 of them already, then I realised I'm an idiot :p

Nude mod out for Ashley already lol

I just realised… They removed the U3 section.

Yeah I was pretty gutted about that, one of the best fights in RE4 OG.

I just read a few posts online saying it is not as good as original. Too much recoil etc. can’t remember the original as was so long ago but I did play it multiple times. I just remember the magnum being a gun to get. I am levelling up the Punisher for some reason.
 
I'm nearly done, pretty much on the final chapter after the chopper segment. It's been stellar so far, way beyond what my expectations of a remake could be for this game.

I ended up saving nearly all my cash early on and not buying many new weapons aside form the Rifle and TMP. Then when I found it I started pumping upgrades into the Red 9 and TMP as soon as I could. I bought the Stingray and Riot Gun at the castle which carried me through.

I then went fully upgraded Red 9 and TMP with exclusives, bought the striker and used the exclusive token for the massive capacity and have slowly upgraded it since, picking up the Killer 7 along the way. Red 9 carries hard but I always have a good backup to switch to in bad situations/bosses.

I think a lot of those points on the list are so minor and unnecessary tbh that the additions/changes they have made far outweigh them. Some I would argue are still in the game anyway?
 
Been busy and not played for quite a few days. Still on chapter 6.

Can someone link me to the DLSS mod please. Anything else new I should try?

From what I can see no new patches.
 
Is this the one for DLSS? @Huxton :)

 
Downloaded and installed but it's crashing as soon as I want to start playing. :(

The demo worked fine, not sure why this isn't. I also can't seem to find anything online, wonder if someone here might be able to help?

Edit: fixed it. Reshade running in the background causes it.

If you still want to use Reshade you'll need to drop the dinput8.dll file from REFramework into your folder then Reshade will work as that's what i've just done.

Finished the game just on standard difficulty overall, truly great game that compares favourably to the excellent original that I re-played most of just before playing the remake.

I didn't even have enough money to max out more than one gun due to my early inefficient embedding of gems, not grabbing everything and keeping my older guns for new runs rather than selling most of them, so I only maxed out the standard handgun that Leon starts with. But like the original game it's maybe the best pistol overall when fully maxed out and one of the best guns in the game.

It's a bit a like a bingo gun, nothing special it seems, but when your numbers come up, bingo. At 2 power with the x 5x crit bonus, it hits for 10 every time it crits, which it does a lot, the max power of fully upgraded Red 9 is 4.2, better reliability for guaranteed damage, but the handgun is over twice as powerful the Red9 when it crits, making it situationally the most powerful per shot handgun in the game, beating out the DLC pistol that also has the 5 x crit bonus. Also it's the only gun Leon actually brings himself, it's got the Kendo logo on it from the Kendo gun store from RE2.

Killed the first enemy in the game with the handgun, fully upgraded it was still good on the game's final boss. Well worth trying a fully upgraded handgun run, in the remake it's even more comparable to the Red 9 as it can use the red dot site which the Red 9 can't, plus it's a lot smaller without stock.

At the end I was using a TMP with stock, Striker shotgun, Stingray rifle, Killer 7 magnum and fully upgraded handgun, with only damage upgrades maxed on other guns except only 1 power upgrade on Killer 7, loads of ammo and grenades left over after final boss.

Shooting gallery rewards were interesting, got a chicken one that makes eggs fully restore health and also the Striker legendary 8% run speed increase that I didn't use yet as saving it for harder difficulties.

As for overall quality, the Remake does the original justice, but they did take quite a few things out, they simplified some boss encounters, but they added so much it more than makes up for it. The original is arguably more of a hardcore game in certain sequences, people who play the original for the first time after the Remake will get some surprises from extra bits the new game leaves out.

Though the Remake is so much better in other areas, they complement each other really well, both still worth playing independently as they are quite unique in many areas.
