The Professional Difficulty in a Nutshell - Resident Evil 4 Remake Funny Moments 

Y’all bots 😂

I've managed to beat it on a new fresh game. 😎

Went through it? I can’t get past the Village, this shit is *impossible*

Just did my first dry run no bonus weapons shit was hard but not impossible

@@BlueCollarZombie i run around the village like in Looney Tunes episode and when i was surrounded, i throw a grenade

That was my biggest hurdle that and how instant grabs are half the time it felt like they teleported

And it's completely avoidable by just playing better. Better positioning, awareness, movement, etc.

​@@alondite215 This is equivalent to the "just don't get hit" type of mentality. Sometimes enemy just swarm you and if you get cornered it shouldn't be a death sentence.

@AlonditeMX nah I call bs because there is quite a few times where certain attacks chained together in certain situations are unavoidable Edit: don't bother with this dude. He is idiotic Same applies to that other guy

u just bad

Five and a half... Don't forget the most stressful half hour...

Probably made for speed runners.

@@jhnyjoejoe69 with exploits, no clipping, and glitches... Even with that, I imagine that it's nearly impossible

It's doable without getting a stroke if you manage to do the Chicago Sweeper + Armor Ashley strat + skipping everything you can. It's still very hard, but doable after you really learned the mechanics. Without that strat, I don't know how you can get S+ on Professional and keep your sanity and/or humanity, though.

@@maikybravo6108 I did it on xbox a few days ago using Neon Slice ‘s Chicago sweeper professional S+ guide on his youtube channel, I recommend his video if you guys are struggling or even just for some guidance

yeah I cried

​@@m0nst3rgutz I did too it gave me PTSD from seeing the cabin again

Yeah those asswhipe die many times but wont admit it.

Haha true I reloaded so many times for that S+

It has been done thousands of times in single segment viewable on twitch. It is a skill issue, always going to be one.

It is, unfortunately, a skill issue. The game isn't spawning invincible enemies inside your coat pockets

@@Wr41thgu4rd I dont know if you played elden ring but thats like saying that Malenia's attack is not bullshit just because its not actually IMPOSSIBLE to dodge it , I platinumed Re4 remake already and yeah , professional is not very fun to speed run , it is not even fun to just play it , once you upgrade your weapons it gets better at least , the beggining is rough , bullet sponge enemies that dont stagger at all , bullshit grabs and dynamits

Well, they’re gonna sell a ton of DLC unlocking all the things behind insane difficulty 😂😂 I wouldn’t mind the difficulty but no auto saves? No thanks 😉

@@kimjanek646 ikr, the no auto saves wouldn't be bad except for the only being allowed 15 saves for the s+

​@Kim Janek it can be quite... daunting

Apparently you can get the Handcannon with the new Mercenaries mode, so if you're not interested in the Cat Ears, then you can basically ignore NG Professional (NG+ Professional is still worth, though).

@@kuuhakudesu i wonder if they'll bring back the PRL..

I haven't made it that far but I anticipate several deaths throughout that entire ordeal.

@@Picheal43 those bug fuckers are the worst especially on professional. Good luck brother

snipe the ones you can that are camo ahead of time. Otherwise they only take 3 shots.

Well there goes my motivation to try. Thanks.

@@456012 They’re fucking cancer on hardcore too. I died a few times in that room before clearing it.

try taking it slow, you might like it., a lot easier that way.

@@elemenopi4827 thats the catch, in order to get S+ you have to beat the game in less than 5:30 hours, and save the game less than 15 times, so yeah, no way you can take it slow

@@puchingd5007 From chapter 7 if you have the Chicago and Armored Ashley it ain't so bad from there on, but doing it without them can be quite frustrating.

Chapter 5 is HELL

@@93bendzsi using the Chicago Typewriter prevents S+

Nah 8.5/10 -Cut content -Rpd skin ist missing -World/areas (specially the village) feels so small and cramped. -Separated ways is dlc 💰 -unlocking stuff is not fun in the remake Good game but I still prefer the OG

@@kommissarrex1193 Shut the cap it's reasonable for a company to make profit through DLC. means you dumb at puzzles and of course it's going to be cut content it's a REMAKE not remaster pls use brain oh dear

@@kommissarrex1193 keep on huffing on that copium man, it suits you.

@@kommissarrex1193 separate ways will be released for free as far as im aware, just like mercenaries

@@hyril86 isnt copium accepting shit? Copium fits more with the people that justify the mistakes of this game

It makes me not want to play at all alot of the time, feeling like I need to rush to unlock stuff. I wanna clear professional at my own pace. but i wanna unlock the chicago etc... and i dont wanna replay professional again and again to unlock things. Have this wierd feeling of wanting to play the game but then thinking that i have to speed through makes me not want to play.

@@allright8054 I feel you but luckily the bonus weapon unlocks aren't too bad. Chicago sweeper is ng+ professional allowed to unlock it under 7 mins which at least infinite RL makes work of it I got 4 hours logged for that . Handcanon just requires you to beat professional regular new game rank doesn't matter

@@kingddd problem is professional’s fucking *impossible* without the rocket launcher so…

​@@kingddd yeah the only problem is that you can't get an s+ rank in new game plus, that means no infinite rocket launcher

@@BlueCollarZombie not really I'm currently in ch 11 as of this posting using the basic handgun, riot gun, the first sniper and broken butterfly. Sure I'm not speedrunning but it's not impossible.

I'm trying to beat verdugo on professional mode for the platinum but I just ran out of ammo before killing him

It's because it is, the devs couldn't care less about their unfinished remake and the balance of mechanics in higher dificulties, such thing was already visible in the "Mad Chainsaw Man" secret mode from the demo.

u just need to jump the 2 walls... so easy a monkey could do it

You know what’s even more frustrating? *dying in the Village 35 times in the span of 2 nights and not even making it to Chapter 2*

@@BlueCollarZombie Been there. I don't know how speedrunners seem to be able to magically group up 15 and kill them all with a grenade

@@Light_910 I mean i’m still not making it past the Village even with the hand grenade strat so idk how anyone does this period.

​@@BlueCollarZombie cheats

It is honestly unthinkable to me that someone has decided to make a system where you can get stunlocked by ganados and AOEs while the enemies don't even stagger consistently. The fact that someone decided that was a good idea, and the fact that people are giving it 10/10...I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. The elegance of the original RE4 gameplay is completely gone. What you have here is basically Evil Within Akumu without the one hit deaths.

​@@neamravenTHANK. YOU. I SAID THE SAMEEEEE THING. Definitely not a 10/10 too much bs

I aaaa unlocked it by doing mercinaries mode 🥺

@@AmbeanWambulance yes., and just took 15 mins, like basically nulify doing my 4 hour run lol

I almost went bald getting s+ to get the handcannon, just for it to be extremely easy to get on mercenaries and the gun is sadly not even worth it.

handcanon is not that hard, cat ears is the hard one, atleast for handcanon you can save as many times as you want and there is no time limit

@@ags8507 you can't have more than 15 saves to achieve S+ rank pro, which is the rank you need to unlock the hand-cannon.

Thanks to Flash and Heavy grenades, i can rush the entire chapter 15 without beign massively hurt. And i reserved like 10 first aid sprays to this part in my S+ NG Professional run and that saved me a lot. Later in the last chapter, before Saddler fight, i sold most of my weapons to buy a RPG and that's the salvation. Only i keep the handgun and TMP for last phase before Ada throwd the Red RPG.

Hello you need to survive 5 Minutes that´s all, run in circles and use the stairs to make the ganados group and waste time trying to climb then go down and repeat for 5 minutes

@@renzobaca3022 i’ve been attempting that strat too and can’t pull it off. Always get caught by someone rushing me from behind or by Salvadore who’ll one shot you no matter what health you’re at.

Good luck, The Village was my bane too, once I got past it, everything got way easier to progress. Even if it was not a best save, I did save after the end of Chapter 1, i was confident being able to not save until the Big Boi.

@@Walt-007xmx8f yeah the tower strat has been the main strat i’ve used but i keep getting absolutely destroyed after Salvadore shows up. Like consistently. It’s like the game just doesn’t want me to get a fresh Professional mode clear. Period.

@@ThePawdie i’ll keep that in mind if I ever make it to the end of Chapter 1. Only Professional mode clear i’ve gotten has been with the Infinite Rockets and this point it’ll be my only clear. Lol.

same can be said about something else if you know what I mean...

🐔

I beat it in 4 hour’s earlier no infinite ammo or glitches lmao. S+ is hella sketch cause you can barley save

@@slayking2378 I beat professional with no special weapons or infinite ammo. but I did use glitches.

@@dayp68gaming20 then u a scrub.

My first playthorugh was on Hardcore. I tried Professional and I have yet to make it to the village battle.

And how was your professional run?

Unfortunately is more for the platinum trophy …

What fresh bullshit is that!?

Ng+ professional is ez compared to new start professional 🥺 even as a re4 ps2 vet the shits tuff, especially if ur going for 5:30 run with pistol only like the masochist i am

@@AmbeanWambulance Guess I’ll use my NG+ save then some time later ^_^

I'll bet my last 2 tickets that that won't happen

@@user-ug1dh1zy4v They already did

Same.

Stunlocking is the most lazt way to make a game hard

@@friedrice7876 I have another two contenders: inconsistent staggers and bloom. 'Difficulty'. Yeah, my favorite kind of 'difficulty' is something that pisses on the player's skill and relies entirely on luck.

Past chapter 6 is a breeze when you get the Sweeper.

I’ll keep this in mind if I can ever make it out of the Village, otherwise i’m convinced professional mode is legit impossible

Yeah but in order to get all the necessary currency for the exclusive ticket you need to do every side quest up until the castle, and by that time you can kiss your s+ rank good-bye

@@Eddycut not quite I got to the castle and did all the side quest with 3hours 45 min to spare

@@kungfuudennis3290 lol yea infinite ammo is overrated you can use the gold egg to beat Salazar and rpg for krauser and final boss. You get plenty of ammo if your actually speed running and just shooting enemies in your way. Did a 4 hour S+ today no glitches or infinite ammo

The knife thing PISSES ME OFF. You see the prompt and he still just slashes.

I had a good time on pro mode. The flying bugs. Had me. If they gang up on you. Smh not fun

Its not required to S+ Rank Pro to get all the trophies no? Only S+ on Standard and Hardcore.

Yeah I hate that too. This game on Professional is legit BS. I think they're just boasting that they finally beat it and earned an S+ on Professional.

​@VersionBest i wish they didn't make leon so... weak. How is it this mfer can get stun locked and staggered so easily. I've had a grandma shove me and leon completely lost his balance and staggered for no reason. You can get stuck in a gang bang of ganados and you can't even shove them back. Just pray and hope you can either Parry or dodge. Also had an instance of getting stun lock by a stun rod ganado after parrying 3 times, tried getting out the way but by the time leon recovers from the stun after parrying, the ganado attacks right away causing me to yet again parry and died from something else Edit: yes it was perfect parrys but due to the stun rod, it can still stun leon after perfect parrying.

Fr. In my experience, i never learn anything from those guy, don't listen to them and learn the game alone makes me beat my playthrough faster anyway. lol

@@renzotkac1236 i JUST competed it like 20 minutes ago. Never doing it again lmao. I had the goal of completing every challenge but some of these challenges sound just as if not a little more tedious than pro s+, like the not taking damage challenge

Same I tried on standard & hardcore for rank s+ and that was after doing a 8 hr speedrun for trophy started to realise that speedrunning under 5hrs is to much hassle😂

Who did they have play test Professional mode? Did they have someone play test it at all?

Nah it isn't miserable for masochists. It's like their wet dreams. They thrive off this shit lol

The three special weapons (Handcannon, Chicago Sweeper and Infinite RL) are better than any other weapon with infinite ammo anyway, simply because you don't have to reload them.

@@DarkEinherjar not to mention the cat ears are ugly, and would never be something I’d have Leon wear under any circumstances. In fact most of the accessories in the item shop are pretty trash and lame, save for a very small few. You have to grind your azz to get S+ on professional and they reward you with a pair of cat ears for F sake. Why couldnt it be something badazz? What is it about the Japanese and always trying to make everything cutesy. No thanks. I also have a lot to say about the goofy alternate costumes and the joke outfits....only because there isn’t an equivalent amount of more grounded and serious outfits to balance it out. So I’ll just leave it there.

Don't fucking compare this absolutely retarded combat system to something like Dark Souls. Dark Souls actually has good, fair, skill based combat with consistent rules and mechanics. RE4R is an abyss of bad decisions and incompetence.

Nah. I prefer pro runs because you can upgrade guns all the way from the start. It makes NG runs more interesting and fun. It’s really not difficult if you have cat ears or chicken head.

@@cl86241 I never said anything about using cat ears or chicken 🐔, I said its played at most 3 times for the unlockables.

Agree. I played professional twice to get Cat Ears and Chicago first then the handcannon. I will not play professional mode again.

@@shinobi197 I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I understood you were saying you didn't like playing Pro for fun (only for unlocks and never again). I was saying that Pro is fun to play casually (even after you unlocked everything) because it offers a different dynamic to the gameplay because of how you can upgrade weapons at a faster pace.

@@cl86241 Just by your online name. Yeah. No one should give a shit about anything you say. Narc.

Yeah the Rocket one shots but you can’t get the last of the unlockables that way. Handcannon requires a new game save on Professional without using *any bonus weapons* and the Cat Ears require an S+ Professional clear on a new save. Rocket’s only available in NG+ so it instantly takes those unlocks away

If you mean the normal rocket launcher, you can buy one per chapter. Personally I buy two, one for Krauser and one for Saddler on professional if I'm not going the infinite Chicago route. Krauser's quite a bit harder since you can't parry unless it's a perfect parry. There's enough treasure in the game to buy them without having to sell all your weapons. If you're only talking about Saddler specifically, you'd have to save some guns as the launcher only gets you past the first phase of the fight.

@@BlueCollarZombie you mean the infinite launcher, you can get the normal rocket launcher and use it just fine for S+ runs

@@Kobratero if you can make it out of the Village then yeah that makes sense, i’m speaking as a salty POS who’s died 43 times in the Village over the course of 2 nights now and is convinced that this mode is impossible to defeat without infinite ammo or cheats or glitches or some combo of the 3. Lol.

@@BlueCollarZombie Modded/jb ps4 (if ur goin to cheat might as well go all in)

🤣

pretty much i feel that

Yeah dude, Just hardcore in the Remake is way worse than the professional of 2005

What difficulty should I play first, guys? I have never played OG RE4. Recently I played and finished Dead Space Remake on Hard mode, wasn't unbearable to me. What do you think?

@@user-mu8dm4rk7g standard mode is a pretty good challenge and pretty punishing but i can’t compare it to dead space, haven’t played it yet i’d say if you find standard too easy after the first section then hardcore might be better. standard still kinda kicked my ass sometimes but i thought it was just right for fun factor

idk if I'd agree...infinite launcher/Chicago etc

Nah... Infinite RL breaks it as easily as it breaks all other modes.

@@user-ug1dh1zy4v was trying it before I had either unlocked

@@DarkEinherjar couldn't afford infinite rocket launcher at the time. It is a lot more manageable once you get it.

@@bradwilcox08 Invincibility thru Save Wizard...hehe. That's "manageable", for me (I did a few legit runs first, so I understand).

Yeah except you're encouraged to speedrun it for unlocks. And the fact that your guns are inadequate peashooters early on also encourages running past shit etc. It's not like Dark Souls. Dark Souls is fair. RE4make Professional is an exercise in reloading saves until RNG favors you.

I was gonna say, if you’re not going for the unlocks then yeah you can play that way but you gotta speedrun it to get the good stuff.

@@SpadeDraco skill issue

@@sigma247 Yeah you died many times you liar.

@@vagabond4576 Yeah but I didn't go online and cry about it, adapt and git gud

So you don’t have any iFrames on Professional? 🤔😳

@@kimjanek646 Generally...no. "NOOOooo! LEEEEOOOoNN!" (guess who?)

Yep, stupid. Sounds about right

Based.

Nope professional is bullshitland honestly I have seen a lot of stupid shits on my runs

Pretty much how I got S+, the first couple chapters are a pain, but if you can tough it out to chapter 7 or 8 and get that infinite chicago, it's so nice. Not to mention doing some of the new skips, like using the double door skip to get through the first garador fight, or skipping THE ENTIRE chapter 14 cept for Krauser and one measly camp.

The Water Room on professional without Ashley having the armor actually made me almost go insane

Yeah but it's getting to that point XD

@@reggiemoore755 yea honestly that’s fair. Thankfully new game plus is allowed for them tho so it made it easier. There are some really bullshit segments

@@pphead9960 not if u wanted hand cannon or cats ears

@@reggiemoore755 maybe not for hand canon but I’m talking about playing it for the rewards. I used new game plus to unlock the stuff that makes Pro new game easier. Also the new mercenary mode allows for the hand canon to be unlocked for some reason
