New Mercs is SO ADDICTIVE | MAX PLAYS: Resident Evil 4 Remake - The Mercenaries 

I love how Luis uses the pipe for his melee. He finally got to use his “lance” from the story.

I love that hunk after snapping someone’s neck is like “TADAAAAA, HES DEAD!”

I'd like to imagine hunk wiggling his fingers going "NYEHEHEHE"

The moment Hunk goes Mayhem 57:02 some dude on the rail tried to escape by helicoptering out.

Leon's Mayhem mode: Fast attack and speed. Luis' Mayhem: Dynamite for everyone. Krauser's: Mutated arms! HUNK: Mr. Death's neck snapping party.

Fun Fact: Luis is impervious to his own dynamite. So you can get crowded, set it down at your feet, and shoot.

Krauser is an absolute monster. You can literally do a whole run just with the Knife. I just love how they really made the Knife such an important and destructive tool. As it should be. Its a freaking military grade knife.

Timestamp for all the characters gameplay Leon at the Village 1:44 Luis at the Village 17:51 Krauser at the Castle (1) 32:01 Krauser at the Castle (2) 36:49 Hunk at the Island 50:48 Hunk at the Village (1) 1:05:48 Hunk at the Village (2) 1:14:30 Hunk at the Village (3) 1:16:27 Leon at the Castle (1) 1:27:25 Leon at the Castle (2) 1:37:52 Leon at the Castle (3) 1:39:35 Krauser at the Island (1) 1:49:41 Krauser at the Island (2) 1:58:29 Krauser at the Village (1) 2:01:32 Krauser at the Village (2) 2:08:54 Luis at the Castle 2:11:54 Leon at the Island 2:25:30 Hunk at the Castle 2:39:37

1:18:36 That's Hunk's PS1 RE2 4th survivor music, really nice throwback. He was my favourite in the original, though Wesker was pretty cool.

Chat: Krauser has a strong knife Max: I sleep Chat: He can wave dash Max: *REAL SHIT?!*

After all these years and just how little infos we know about him, HUNK is still the coolest and badass character in RE universe.

Hunk: **snaps necks** TA-DA~!

They need to let you play as Ashley and she has a fully upgraded magnum but can't handle the recoil so you basically one shot and stagger most enemies but she need to recover from every shot lmao. Her Mayhem would give her magnum some piercing

Leon is out here playing a survival horror game while Krauser is in a character action

Krauser: that’s not a knife, this is a knife

Look man if someone snapped my neck and did jazz hands afterwards I wouldn't even be mad.

Luis is arguably the strongest one here, his mayhem mode allows him to place an infinite amount of dynamite that he can't even get hurt from! not only that, his melee is also ironically strong, the pipe has a 180°+ range and his rush melee can clear out a large amount of enemies.

Re 4 remakes mercenaries mode in a nutshell: Leon is an appetizer Luis is the hard hitting drink Krauser is the main course like a good stake or burger And hunk is the simple yet delicious dessert like a cake or ice cream

Fingers crossed a few more characters for mercs in future dlc. This is gold in terms of fun.

the ragdoll spinning at 57:02 lmao

I imagine Hunk saying *"TA DA"* after every neck break like Joker after his magic trick.

Max: Luis is actually pretty fun. Me: Wait till you see Krauser buddy

I have no doubt that ada and wesker will become playable with the inevitable separate ways dlc

Hunk: Hey...wanna see a magic trick?

This game is absolutely incredible. I was never big on Mercenaries, with Village being the one’s I played the most (maybe that was my problem), so I wasn’t expecting much but I was 2 minutes into my first game of RE4R Mercs and I started laughing to myself like a crazy person because of how much fun I was having. I was totally shocked.

If Krauser is this wild in melee, I can only imagine how crazy Wesker will be when he comes out.

It makes me happy to see Luis getting to use his Lance.

Krauser's knife is so good, if you time it right, you can parry each arrow the machine arrow pig guy fires.

If Hunk ever gets his own game its a day 1 for me.

Capcom always know how to make a good arcade game.

For anyone who needs some tips for high score: remember that enemies with mutated Plaga (The ones who's heads explode and a tentacle creature comes out) die instantly to flash grenades. This also applies to the spider Plaga on the Island map. Also, Luis doesn't take damage from his dynamite, so you can throw em down and shoot them if you're in a horde and need some space.

Krauser just turns the game into a hack n slash and I'm loving it.

I haven’t played mercenaries in the original, but this was pretty fun. It’s kind of nice that you can get high scores without any problems. Also, you can get the hand cannon by getting S rank on all three stages.

I gotta say man, I usually tune out with other people's walkthroughs and gameplays. But you somehow make me want to watch your re4 footage from start to finish. You're the only person I don't get bored watching

I love that not just in mercenaries but the entire game they balanced difficulty REALLY well. I feel adequately challenged even on standard. And on mercenaries it feels like enough of a challenge for me but not being as punishing as the original re4s mercenaries could be. Like I've had a couple times where I'm like yeah this is going super smooth I'm gonna kill all 150 and then I just get chainsawed in the back or grabbed from behind and then chainsawed. I just feel like this might be the most perfectly balanced difficulty I've ever seen in a video game and that goes for both main game and mercenaries.

I like how everyone else is playing Mercenaries, but Krauser is all TEKKEN in your face

Hunk: "My favorite SCP is 173." Ganado: "Why's that?" Hunk: *Snap*

"Stupid ass game is so much fun" ─ Maximilian Dood, should be a sticker in the cover of the game.

Luis immune to his dynamite explosion btw

I cant be the only one imaginings Krauser wave dashing like a Mishima because he can in the game 👀

Damn literally just got done watching your entire play through a resident evil 4 about 30 minutes ago and this drops right after. You're talking about good timing

Hunk is officially the doomguy of resident evil series.

I was just checking the playlist and seen this new video 😮 so excited to watch it

Hunk: Chiropractor mode enabled.

Would love another kind of coop survival in this game. Players pick the characters and can buy from the merchant while surviving waves.

"Guess there's no keeping down the Grim Reaper, huh?"

In my mind, once the neck snaps the person in his hands become a 'thing' to discard and no longer part of the mission, that's how I see his animation

17:55 Luis is praying for the sht that's going to happen XD

I’m so glad you love the spooky fingers hunk does as much as I do, I laughed so hard when I saw that the first time, and said spooky the exact same way as you did then 😂

0:03 HunK: For my next trick, I'll make a life disappear... 0:05 Hunk: TADAAAAH!

I love how every character has their own music.

Near the end of this video, Max displayed some serious journalism gameplay skills haha

In today's video, Max demonstrates how to reduce the strain on the national budget by trimming down the pension spending. Goddamn genius. This remake is truly incredible.

Hunk snaps neck: jazz hands

Mercenaries should have it's own spin-off game. Maps and characters from every entry in the series.

I can't wait to see Max playing the story on proffesional mode. I know how much he likes to stick to the most basic weapons and upgrade them to the top but I really hope he tries the handcannon, it's so much fun and a lifesaver with the hardest bosses... And let's not forget the golden egg against Salazar

57:05 the dude spinning in the air, Hunk's too much for them lmao.

This dude is legitimately fun to watch. I have subbed good sir

Always hit em with the jazz hands after snapping someone’s neck

I do wish Hunk had a second animation for the neck snap. It's kinda weird to melee a guy from behind, suddenly appear in front of him, then move behind him and do the neck snap

Krauser has some sick combos. I got an S ranking just using his knife attacks. They def had people from their fighting game division working on the combat in this game lol

Mercenaries is incredibly good and addicting. It does have RNG bs with enemy AI sometimes though. I got a combo of 148 on the Island to have the last 2 enemies nowhere near me. They only showed themselves after my combo dropped which felt bad and out of my control. Some of the enemy combos can be infuriating time-wasters as well. I’ve quickly found the Molotov throwers to be the biggest threat in Mercenaries since you can lose seconds in the burning animation and they can drop fire on you while you’re mid-animation for executions or escaping a grab. Some quick tips: -Melee grants big time bonuses but it really breaks even for certain longer animations since the clock doesn’t stop while you’re using melee. Melee on Luis and Hunk can be a bad call sometimes vs Leon and Krauser which is pretty much always a good idea. -I personally drop the TMP for Krauser at the start. It’s weak, inaccurate, and eats up potential arrow space. His knife and bow are better options 90% of the time. I like Krauser but I find keeping a combo to be the most difficult for him. Since he’s melee-focused, the odds of an offscreen enemy grabbing you and wasting time skyrockets and his only fast-kill options are the slow bow, grenades, and his Mayhem. -Luis is immune to his own dynamite and shooting it makes it explode. You can easily drop 4-5 sticks per Mayhem if you’re quick but sometimes it’s smarter to let enemies group up around the dynamite first. -For every character you can use Mayhem as a panic button. Triggering it causes an AoE of stagger regardless of the enemy type. Luis has a smaller AoE for every subsequent dynamite he places but it can still be used to stagger a boss out of an animation.

Luis is actually really strong on the village map, you can basically camp the whole time in that corner by the broken shack and clear the whole ramp with his mayhem mode. If you save it for bosses S++ is a breeze with him.

The K in HUNK stands for Khiropractor

hunk giving them the ol' razzle dazzle

Max you’re getting jacked! I see you 💪🏽

I laughed so hard when Max had HUNK go ham with his machine gun while screaming,"AUUUUUUHHHHHGH!!" because it reminded me of his RE2 Leon B original playthrough when he had Leon dump all his submachine gun ammo into Berkin before ending the game XD

Krauser is the easiest character to die on in my experience because he's so unga bunga that I forget I have a health bar.

57:05 look at that dude spin roun n round the rail. 😂

I remember grinding Leons dock stage on the OG, with the super salvadors. Cheesing them with grenades and I-frames on ladders while keeping the combo going. Was my final stage for the handcannon too iirc.I really hope it's still there 😄

Thing about the Handcannon though, the way to unlock it [and achievement attached], is to beat the game on Professional without any bonus weapons. Now I know what people might think "Oh! Just do it on New Game Plus", but you can't do that. Specifically says New Game. Everything else that says "beat the story on [difficulty]" can be done in a second playthrough on a completed file. So to give two ways of getting the Handcannon, while I believe there should be more than just that for a reward (Like maybe Leons RPD outfit or able to give Leon HUNKs outfit for example), would have been nice too.

Kinda like wesker in RE5 he was my favorite to play in mercenaries

Watching Krauser in this really makes me want a spin-off RE game with him as the playable. Leon and Krauser co-op RE5 style spec ops game

Maximum score: 1. Multi-kills, +1k for every enemy you kill simultaneously. 2. Time bonus, AKA headshots. +1k per second. Melee offers extra time too, though not as much, unless you knife them in the head. 3. Mayhem kills, especially on high multiplier.

I absolutely loved that I heard bits of RE2R Hunk theme in his mercenary mode theme

Huge compliment @Max. He is obviously a skilled player, but wow... There were moments when his first Leon run looked like a horror version of John Wick. First attempt, immediately got S+. Very impressive.

Leon's mayhem mode should've been Chris showing up and boxing all of the ganados to keep the Redfield bloodline continued

6:31 this Arnold battlecry from the Predator cracked me up 😂

We need a Zombie game with Character Creation Like Dragons Dogma 2 But with ONLY Zombies and Mutated Zombie Animals. build your own base, find survivors, make a Town, and so on and so on.

This game are sick. Mercenaries even more fun than before. Looking forward to Weskin Time

*MY EXTRACTION POINT*

1:08:35 one thing you can do is activate your mayhem mode instantly when grabbed by enemy instead of waiting to do knife retaliation.

Krauser is my favorite in this one he is so tanky, he has dash and best melee 👍

Hunk and Krauser and super OP! But Luis and Leon are really fun too. I played for about 3 hours last night it's definitely addicting.

"She punched me in the back of the face" - Max. I love it.

Mercenaries is so freakin fun man I love Hunk so much. Hopefully Ada, Wesker and a few more stages get added too. Also, where is my RPD outfit for Leon Capcom…

I'm guessing there's gonna be a Mercs Reunion for the GOTY Edition in two years

I wish they add Ashley! And make her a fun character, with comedic moves. That'd be great!

I never liked the mercs mode except in RE6, but this is probably my favorite version of it now. I still don't see myself playing often though.

Snaps a neck then does the David Copperfield pose😂

the crit path seems to be something like- find all the time orbs go out of your way on your attempt to get the harder ones *with more doors and such then run towards the easier ones while starting your combo meleeing all enemies on your path to the last ones and finishing in a corner where you sit until the end building your combo

1:03:24 MAX AS OF 4/12/2023 the completion rate of RE4R on PS4 1. *STANDARD MODE IS ONLY 41.6%* 💪🏽 2. *HARDCORE MODE IS ONLY 19.1%* 💪🏽 3. *PROFESSIONAL MODE IS ONLY AT 11.9%*

Hola, I'm a mo cap performer and wanted to share a painful story of mine about these REmakes. In late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the motion capture role of Leon for the RE 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part...☹ Now many years later, when I see how successful those remakes are I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. In this business one audition can change your entire life. PS. I got Mercs on 3ds and it's pretty cool too.

Hunk gives big Black Noir vibes

Been waiting for this. Thank you Max 👍💯

After hearing you could unlock the handcannon by S ranking each of the 3 levels I gave it a shot. I would say i'm about average, but S ranking is relatively easy to do with Leon.....honestly I am having trouble getting a A rank on ANY level with Luis to unlock the next character.

1:44:29 you get handgun and shotgun ammo only from the fixed chests in the stage. Mobs drop only the Rifle ammo.

I’m hooked! Mercenaries is so much fun.

There’s nobody else on the platform I’d rather see play RE:4 Remake or FF7. What an absolute joy!

I’ll be waiting for the round 2 with Ada & Wesker
