Well I wasn't trying to trash you either. Or tell you what you could or could not do. For all I know, you could win every fight in the world without using a weapon. My issue was the fact that you seem to be saying that in a regular fight, like on a street against some dumb punk, you will always win without a weapon every time. I felt like you were saying that if some random dude had a bat and was attacking you, and there happened to be another bat laying near you, that you would be like "I don't need the bat" and try to fight with your bare hands. In which case I would say you'd be brown bread more often than not.

That's an unrealistic scenario. This is why you need to be prepared for the worst (and I'm always expecting the worst). If an asshole comes up to you and tries to attack you with or without a weapon, you can't just depend on a weapon being near your grasp. So, let's pretend a weapon is there, waiting for me to grab it (because the other guy is just gonna be standing there, right?). It's an option, but It makes no difference to me. Either way, I know I can handle it. It's about skills and smarts. You need to adapt to the situation as quick as possible and always be steps ahead of the other guy. The other guy most likely sucks at fighting, otherwise he wouldn't need a weapon. You're only threatening if you know what you're doing, which most people don't anyway.

Take a look at this guy.



He clearly handled himself. Yeah, other guys joined in, but he had him where he wanted. Fucked and nowhere to go. He was sloppy, but good for him anyway.

The guy swinging the skateboard is genius.

You assume the other guy sucks at fighting because he has a bat or other weapon? Grab the other bat, man!!!!!!!!!

That's right, this thread is now about Batman.

Good point. You should never, Eeeeeever, assume, it just makes an Ass outta U and Me.

I said it was more likely that they would suck at fighting. Kind of stupid to jump to conclusions during a fight. You need to be ready for anything. Expect the unexpected.

Hey, how'd you know I'm Batman?

Interesting. So a kid once threw some bread at me for no reason?
I chased him around the freaking school. Apologized a day later. Now we're
friends.

Did I mention I like swords? I like swords.

I never had a problem with Sheva's AI. She can actually aim better than a lot of the idiots on Xbox Live.

You just have to instruct her properly by telling her which items to pick up.

That's how I met my first wife.

I like how this went off-topic in a way then went back on-topic then sorta seemed to bounce. Especially when the new person came in and just randomly started talking and introduced themselves. Greetings random new person! And here I thought this thing would just die and shrivel up once everyone got their points and views out bahahaha.

Oh and on the note of Steve's voice. Me, personally, I think the voice actor worked really well especially since Steve is 17 to begin with. I don't really consider Sheva a 'bad character' either. She was pulled in because of her parents just like Steve was. Well, Steve's dad anyway what with him trying to steal Umbrella's materials and sell it on the black market which resulted in what it did where as Sheva's parents were pretty much killed which made her want to put a stop the wrong that was happening and causing so much loss and death in her country and around the world. I actually feel more like her reason in itself was too common based. Sure if my parents died I would gab me a gun and join a special covert team or whatever and go on a hunting spree. But that's just it it's... Predictable.

Oh and please tell me I'm not the only who has been shot and numerous times in a row by the AI in RE5? And when I say 'in a row' I mean in the sense that almost all the ammo for that one weapon is spent if I don't move aside or something.
