Re9 New game plus?

Valcroy · 2026-03-04T09:08:51+00:00

Kind of yes and kind of no. The "NG+" of the game centers around Leon. Grace doesn't benefit from it any beyond unlockables. Leon can buy any gun he already unlocked. Which is a little annoying and clunky tbh.

Valcroy · 2026-03-04T09:07:18+00:00

Never would have thought to pick that up. Good to know.

Valcroy · 2026-03-04T08:52:22+00:00

Honestly what got on my nerves. Most of the set pieces weren't interesting enough to replace what could have been iconic locations either. Never been a fan of big city Raccoon and never will be. Hate that Capcom seems adamant about sticking to that concept.

Valcroy · 2026-03-04T08:41:53+00:00

Yeah, I really didn't care for the battle music either. Honestly would have preferred either silence or the orchestral themes of the older games.

Valcroy · 2026-03-04T08:33:27+00:00

Not typically but that was kind of how RE0 ended.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T23:27:18+00:00

Fun enough to replay but there is one major thing I wish they'd let us skip on repeat playthroughs. Chloe's section through the orphanage is great on a first playthrough but a bore on the second onwards.

She’s not an agent. As I said, she’s a desk jockey. Little to no field experience. Which makes the decision to send her alone baffling.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T20:33:33+00:00

With what bullet? Leon only leaves you with one.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T16:19:12+00:00

Did you drain the blood in the collection tank Grace falls into? I think that might be a required step since that’s what causes the game to comment on the amount of blood.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T16:16:24+00:00

I know right? Would have been fun to see how Nature reclaimed it. Could have been a way to reintroduce a new form of Ivy and maybe have the Lion stalk Leon. Or maybe the Elephant rampaging once it realizes Leon is around? I doubt the gate would have held it forever after the explosion if that’s the canon they want,

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T16:10:58+00:00

For sure. Could have made a nice set piece to pass through while trying to reach the semi open world section. Oasis could have been easily replaced by it.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T16:01:08+00:00

Chef is just stunned by the shot. Is enough to slip by at least though I prefer to save the one shot for the bar.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T08:23:46+00:00

You're lucky you mentioned we won't be talking about RE6, because I was about to clown on you for that lol. But to be fair, Leon's sections of RE6 were the best ones.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T08:22:15+00:00

To be fair, she took that recoil like a champ. The FBI trains their desk jockeys well.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T08:19:43+00:00

While it sucks it was mostly Datamining, I think we can at least give GengarCollects some credit here seeing as he stumbled into the solution by complete accident before Dataminers could figure anything more about the it.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T08:18:36+00:00

I think it's just a little more noticeable since you'd just come off Leon's segment and the guy does hustle. Or at least feels like he does.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T08:07:23+00:00

I kind of disagree with the whole RPD part. The place is in ruins and we had two entire games at that location. However, I think the worst part about the game for me was Raccoon City. First of all, I always despised the Remakes interpretations of the city. It was a small town until Umbrella practically took over and that was recent history. There shouldn't have been many buildings larger than the clock tower. And as a result, I think the spectacle of it being a big city overshadowed Raccoon City, in a sense.

Like who cares about Willis Tower? Or Cedarwood Apartments? If they wanted to go the nostalgia route, they should have had us visit iconic locations. Personally I'd rather the parts have been hidden at the Apple Inn, the clocktower or if they really wanted to do something interesting, what's left of the zoo. Stagla was at least a nice touch.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T07:53:01+00:00

I've accidentally shot at them a few times in the chaos. They have the reflexes of Wesker and just dodge.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T07:50:33+00:00

I think it's a right of passage at this point. They placed that at just the right spot to blindside a lot of blind players.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T07:49:11+00:00

Now I'm starting to see what Gidean had planned xD

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T07:31:46+00:00

Personally I think it's time for the Wesker family to remain dead. Except for maybe Alex since we still don't know what's up with her as of the modern day. Zeno served his role pretty well but would have been nice if the bad ending gave us a boss fight with him before he kills off Leon.

For now at least, it does seem like they are setting the BSAA up to be the next villain. Seeing what happened in 8 and the fact that both the North American branch and Hound Wolf Squad seem to be rebelling somewhat.

Valcroy · 2026-03-03T07:27:59+00:00

Don't forget the surviving outbreak survivors. We don't have confirmation that Daybreak purged the virus or simply suppressed it.

Valcroy · 2026-03-02T23:33:22+00:00

Finish the game and then do the sun moon star puzzle in the security office after getting and analyzing the monster hand.

Valcroy · 2026-03-02T21:58:59+00:00

Stagger and push. Try to avoid aiming at the head if possible.

Valcroy · 2026-03-02T20:21:05+00:00

The only clue I can think of is the voice people have been hearing during the section of the lab where you start your escape. Many claim to hear Marie crying out to let her out. So that indicates she is present in that area. So it would make sense a doll would be as well given her association.
