very excited for Witcher 3. might inspire me to replay and go for the plat. your DMC 1 video urged me to start playing that franchise. F doing the plats tho! I've played the original trilogy now, wasn't really a fan, but committed now... think I'll at least have a good time with DMC 5
My favorite game of all time. Played this one hundreds of times over years and already played the remake at least 15-20 times. Truly a masterpiece in gaming history. Just something special about this game. And as usually another fantastic video. I remember last year when i asked you about doing a video on this game and you promised you would do it justice. That you did my friend. That you did.
One of my favourites too. Yeah, really special game. I'm delighted to hear you think I did the game justice. My uploads can be a bit slow because of taking extra time for episodes, but reading your comment reaffirms I'm doing the right thing. Cheers.
@@AdamMcDermottyou dedicated do the right thing with to editing and taking time. There are no other videos, that i know of, like yours on youtube. Sure there are other platinum hunter youtubers who make similar videos but yours are top.
I'm very happy to see this video, my friend. I've been waiting for this for almost 2 years I think. Thanks for sharing your love for this amazing game, my favorite game since 2005.
Appreciate you checking out the original and not skipping ahead to the remake even without a platinum. Too many people see remakes as replacements and not supplemental or alternatives to the original.
Was waiting for this one it’s one of my most played games ever. I’m always curious as to how other play the game vs how I do. It’s nice seeing you discover things as well. Another good episode.
Great episode Adam! Only recently got into Re4, first I played the Remake, then the original then the VR version- so its nice to see this episode, and im looking forward to the remake episode too! Love the series :)
Always love the resident evil journeys. Thank you for making my day better, I always love to come home and be able to sit back and watch your vids. Brightens up the day. Can’t wait for Witcher 3 also.
This was a joy to watch! I remember playing the hell out of this game when I was younger. I did also pick up the remake in December and had a blast with it too! What a great game!
I saw you posted this a little bit ago .... Just been really busy. Glad I can finally sit down and watch this..... can't wait to see what is in store with this video...💪
Adam, this episode is special after 6 years that I have been subscribed to your channel and the game is also special. I have never commented on your channel, it is the first time and it is time to comment more on the videos. I have been watching you since the uncharted 2 platinum. and this huge game that you have uploaded is special for all of us and it was one of my first games when I was a child during the PS2 era but now that I am getting more adult I enjoy the games that I get more and if I have time to get all the I get the trophies, don't stop uploading videos my friend, you do an excellent job❤
I'm honoured you have stuck around for so long. Very nice first comment to make. Great game to one of your first on PS2. Don't worry, I'll be around making videos for many years to come.
@@mralfrdo Thank you very much. Music is always a very important part of the video for me. I spend a day or two finding tracks before even starting editing.
Man I love RE4, whether it's the remake or the original it's such an unbelievably fun time. Amazing video Adam, your enjoyment was contagious, can't wait for Witcher 3 and RE4 Remake
One of the best games of all time! I bloody love this game and great to see you so happy and loving it just as much! 😁 You absolutely smashed the professional play-through as-well well done 😊 Looking forward to your opinions on the remake and the next video as always Adam 🍻
Absolutely agree, hell of a game. Surprised myself by how well the Professional playthrough went. I have mixed feelings about the remake, haha. Won't be nearly as much gushing as in this episode.
Amazing guide Adam. I platinum this one recently before hand. It’s so far my favourite resident evil game. I feel you with the pain of the bear traps got me out of now where and the boss of professional mode. I completed separate ways,assignment ada and the mercenaries mode. Currently upgrading all of the weapons to max for fun. Look forward to the RE 4 remake guide. Keep up the good work and have a good one.
Great episode. Resident evil 4 is one of my most played of all of them. I love it for what it is. I have never done professional mode but I may after this video. Thanks again mate. Thoroughly entertained. 👍
Great vid Adam, as always:) also, it's worth mentioning that the game still looks remarkably well, given it's almost 20yo! Capcom really know their shit. Cheers Buddy.
Another fantastic episode Adam. You always do justice to any game you cover. Looking forward to your RE4 Remake episode to see your thoughts compared to the original
Another great video for a great game. I also loved your cameo from a specific video that also released today 👀 Keep it up Adam, can't wait to see the witcher 3 next.
Another incredible episode, Adam - RE4 is one of my all time favourites! I loved the remake & I still cherish the original! Very keen to see your episode for The Witcher 3, I've been anticipating it since it's tease awhile back!
Hey Adam, As usual I absolutely adore your channel, think you're a really humble and seemingly very genuine man who inspires happiness every time I view ( cue : thank you for your kind words, in true humble fashion). This game is phenomenal, and Professional is (in my opinion) exactly how the game should be played. It's very well balanced after the first hour, and is amazing. The remake I believe topped it but that might be my personal preference for mechanical smoothness. I really hope you enjoyed the remake when the video drops, and as usual amazing video :) Hope you're well and enjoy the festive period Your fan, Mark
Hey, Thank you for your....nice...words :) I agree that Professional is the best way to play it. I have mixed feelings about the remake, mainly the combat. The environments and are much improved though. Hope your festive period goes well too.
Nice bait and switch there haha, I'm so used to your gracious responses at this point :) The combat in the remake is a balancing act. Not to patronize (and this assuredly isn't my intention) but as a breakdown of it : The enemies move faster and have smarter AI due to modern systems, so they add a knife parry, but that knife needs to be breakable to stop it being OP, and they can add more enemies due to the fact you have more defensive options. It's a lot of new options, and it's largely totally different because you arent fixed in place to shoow now, but I personally prefer it now. The original is a masterpiece still, and I adore both :) This video was wonderful Adam @@AdamMcDermott
@@ammanus356 That is a good breakdown. Personally, I find the breakable knife an abomination, haha. I want to use it all the time. The parry system is cool though. Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the video.
just re watched the one you did on re1 yesterday as i was going for it myself and i was hoping you was gonna continue the re series. Looking forward to watching this
Adam, when are we going to see you play and platinum RE7? Waiting already for such a long time for you to give this game a run. Of course, any content (RE especially) you upload is a gift and a pleasure to watch as always. Still though I think RE7 should be high up on your list (pls don’t let us wait for at least another year). I’m sure you’d enjoy and appreciate what the game that breathed new life into the RE series brings to the table + the platinum journey (as with most of the RE games) is really enjoyable. Anyways, keep up the good work, stay healthy, have a great Christmas and start into the new year. Thank you!
I have good and bad news. Good news: I will cover RE7. Bad news: it won't be for a few years. You might pick up from the intro to this episode that there is a pattern - one Resident Evil game per year. Next year is RE4 Remake, following year will be RE5, then RE6 and so on.
You've done it again adam🎉 I love Resident Evil 4 including the remake. Where's everyone going, Bingo? Haha hope you're Witcher 3 episode goes well. Next up is God of War Ragnarok for me
I haven't seen all of the vid yet so apols if you mentioned it, but buying a capacity upgrade will fully refill a weapon. Good for the magnum in particular!
Awesome. Man, I wish you'd do the Infamous series as well. 4 games to Platinum and 1 to 100%. Super fun games and the Plats are a blast (shard) to get. 😁
I remember when this first came out, I was like "it's all action, where's the horror?" Then the remake comes out and I'm like "too much horror, where's the camp?" Can't win I guess
Thanks. That unfortunately fell through the cracks. I did make sure to include a couple clips of it towards the end of the video, as well as a clip of the giant moving Salazar statue. So much great stuff in RE4!
I'm highly considering for it another Bonus episode after Remake. Haven't finished recording the Remake yet but am in the final stretch. I'll make a decision then. There will be a RUclips/Twitter post if I start on Separate Ways. To temper expectations, I'm 50/50. Need to do more research and see if I can fit it into my schedule.
Returning to this game, I feel like its a lot easier now that it orignially was, even on professional. We all know its mechanics and honestly they are quite easy to abuse, like stun locking ganados with bullets or the knife. I expect the remake will have given you more of a challenge (although not as bad as S+ RE2 I hope)
I think over the years it has gotten easier to find good advice, especially with the rise of RUclips. Figuring out RE4 back then was a trial. Think my first ever playthrough was around 25 hours. I'm deep into recorded the Remake and it has most certainly given me more trouble.
It’s crazy how dirty they did Luis in this game. I’m glad they gave him more screen time in the remake so we could actually care about his death. In this game it’s just like ya that happened
Hmm, I disagree. There isn't a lot of screen time for most characters. Luis is no exception. I do agree the remake does a better job of showing more of the characters. Luis is a treasure. Also nice having more scenes of Leon and Ashley, I ended up liking Ashley more.
I started recording The Witcher 3 in January and have been tipping away at it over the course of the year. So I am pretty far along in production. Episode will be done end of this month/early next month.
Resident Evil 4 is definitely one of the best games of all time (maybe even the best of all time) it just never gets old there is nothing like it. Many games have tried replicating it, none have come close to it. And the best part about the remake? We have two RE4s. The world is just a better place with more RE4s
Fun fact: RE4 was initially going to be an action game that became devil may cry. Dante was going to be named Tony Redgrave and vergil was named Paul Redgrave.
I replayed this just before the remake got released and once I got used to the horrible controls which by today’s standards are really horrible I had the best time still had the same anxiety gameplay I remember from my game cube awesome game
Good on you 100 percenting RE4 og. I wished they'd give the original RE4 a plat. I don't know why Capcom didn't. But fortunately the Remake remedies this issue. But good on you still 100 percenting it and hopefully we'll see you platinum the remake. One other game that's considered a mainline RE game I forgot to mention is RE Code Veronica. That game does have a platinum. Any chances we'll get to see a Code Veronica platinum? I'm probably not the biggest fan of Code Veronica. But it's not a bad game. It just has characters that you could probably say should've been left on the cutting board table. But it's still worth playing.
Yeah, strange it doesn't have a platinum. Takes 30+ hours to get the trophies that are there, well worth a platinum. As for Code Veronica, I doubt it. However, I'm consider a Bonus episode for Separate Ways Remake.
Interesting question. My answer would be Pokemon Red. It is why I did a Platinum Journey style video about it. I do plan on covering a Nintendo game next year in a similar style video.
Ah Resident Evil 4, always a good time nice to see you playing through this classic even if there is no platinum trophy. Also did you know that it's possible to kill Saddler in the final battle without the rocket launcher that Ada throws for you?
@@AdamMcDermott Yeah just shoot and/or knife him in his main eye with whatever weapon you've got. I've watched a no upgrades handgun & knife only run on professional once before so that's how I know.
At the end of November, I beat the Remake of RE4. After almost 100 hours. I struggled with it quite a bit. I had never seen anything of the OG game. This was my first time. And now, I understand, why this is such a classic. Back then, this must have been a mindblowing experience. They did a fantastic job with the remake (in my opinion). Can’t wait for your opinion on the remake.
Damn, 100 hours. Fair play to you. Yeah, for its time it blew us away. I think it holds up really well and has more satisfying combat than the remake. I 'd recommend giving it a shot sometime, but not soon. You need a break from Resident Evil, haha.
I do need a break from Resident Evil. I love the series and I am making my way through the game catalouge, but one a year is enough. One question: Do the knife break in the original game? @@AdamMcDermott
I can see that. I personally don’t like breakable weapons. They are an annoyance to me. It is the reason why I couldn’t get into Zelda: Breath of the Wild. @@AdamMcDermott
Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but how did you get that much money to buy the infinite launcher/Chicago typewriter? Did you do the chicken egg farm at all, or does just playing on Professional pay that much more money? All in all, I also wanted to say great work on this vid/the channel as a whole! This vid was super cozy & fun to watch through, as is the rest of your content on the channel!!! RE4 truly is a timeless game, & even nearly 20 years later, it's as good as it was at launch! Truly a masterpiece
I sold all my other weapons. Once you have the Chicago Typewriter, you don't need anything else. Then I no longer need herbs or health sprays, so sold them as well as finding treasures gave me enough for the rocket launcher later in the game. Thank you. A cosy atmosphere was exactly what I was going with for this episode. Just a guy happy to be replaying a childhood favourite game. Yes, it is truly a masterpiece.
@@AdamMcDermott Ahhhhhh, smart man! That all makes sense!! And of course!! You're doing an excellent job with the channel, & I look forward to all the future uploads!!! You're probably the best platinum trophy hunter on YT, as it actually FEELS like i'm apart of the journey with you, rather than just skipping from trophy to trophy without taking anything in! Also, do you plan on going for the Dead Rising 1 platinum at some point since the remaster is coming out soon? If you ever decide to, I already know the 7 day survivor trophy is gonna be hell 😭😭😭
@@kakiharamasao Thank you very much for such kind words. Yeah, lot of trophy videos I don't even know if the person likes the game at the end. Just one trophy after another. I won't be going for the Dead Rising 1 platinum. So many great games, can't platinum them all. My schedule is packed.
Platinum Journey "Bonus". I mention there isn't a platinum trophy while presenting. I do Bonus episodes covering games, challenges or DLC that don't have a platinum trophy, but still make them in a Platinum Journey style.
Don't think it will be that long. I recorded more than any other episode, but when it came to writing, when I meandered into side quests it started to feel aimless. Great to play but not great to watch. The episode will have kind of an adventure feel. White Orchard, Vizima, Velen, Novigrad, Skellige and Kaer Morhen will the route. Gonna treat The Continent like a real place because that is what it felt like to me. This is probably a lot longer of a response that you expected, haha.
@@AdamMcDermott it been a month since I tried my fingers still have phantom of pain and still didn't get it when I try this on PC it will be peace of cake
Fun fact: there is a big mistake concerning the Spanish they are speaking in this game. They are speaking Latin American Spanish, but the game takes place in Spain, where they speak Castilian Spanish. They fixed that for the remake.
Well done Mr McDermott on 100% Out of all the Resident Evil games I just can't get into RE4 at all completed it and completely lost interest took me 5 months to finish
Total play time was 36 hours.
Next up is The Witcher 3, which I've been working on in the background. Resident Evil 4 Remake will follow.
Nice list of upcoming games :) Witcher 3 ouch 😅
oooooh witcher 3!! i still remember the teaser from the mgs4 plat journey, the editing was sick!
@@nnnn12361I think long-term when it comes to planning.
Cheers. Was quite happy with that episode.
Awesome can't wait to see the remake version adam
very excited for Witcher 3. might inspire me to replay and go for the plat.

Started watching your channel a few months back and i have to say ive binged through alot of your Platinum Journeys. Loving the content Adam!
Welcome to the channel. Delighted you are binging my videos.
I'm very happy to see this video, my friend. I've been waiting for this for almost 2 years I think. Thanks for sharing your love for this amazing game, my favorite game since 2005.
Thanks for your patience. One of my favourite games too.
Absolutely love this game and your videos, so it's a great treat that we get both in one package, keep up the great work Adam!
Appreciate you checking out the original and not skipping ahead to the remake even without a platinum. Too many people see remakes as replacements and not supplemental or alternatives to the original.
No way was I going to skip my favourite Resident Evil game. Yeah, I view it as we now have 2 RE4 games and not one replacing the other.
Was waiting for this one it’s one of my most played games ever. I’m always curious as to how other play the game vs how I do. It’s nice seeing you discover things as well. Another good episode.
Yeah, such a treat discovering new things years later.
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Great episode Adam! Only recently got into Re4, first I played the Remake, then the original then the VR version- so its nice to see this episode, and im looking forward to the remake episode too! Love the series :)

Cheers. Honoured you love the series.
Stop being such a legend! ❤
Love your content, you Mad Lad!

You are more than welcome. Honoured I can brighten up your day.
This was a joy to watch! I remember playing the hell out of this game when I was younger. I did also pick up the remake in December and had a blast with it too! What a great game!
Thank you. I also played the hell out of years ago.
Had few beers in the pub... Arrived home and discovered a pleasant suprise in a form of a new video from Adam. Good day. Keep up the good work lad :)
I'm also drinking so cheers!
Gotta love whenever an Adam McDermott vid comes out! Love the channel man! Ive gotten so many plats along side you dude.
Happy to keep you company :)

@@AdamMcDermott Also let’s not forget the use of music it was incredibly beautiful
@@mralfrdo Thank you very much. Music is always a very important part of the video for me. I spend a day or two finding tracks before even starting editing.

I love it too, buddy. Thank you. Perhaps the most amount of smiling I've done in any episode.
Cheers!
I am struck down with the flu and that intro and your childlike giggle brought me immense amusement and comfort. Great video as always sir 🔥👌🏻
Glad I can bring you some comfort. Hope you feel better soon.
Ah yes, the good ol' days when steel knives didn't snap in half somehow. Good times
Breakable knifes in the remake annoy the hell out of me, haha
I loved doing knife only runs in Resi 1, 2 and 3. Feels nearly impossible in Resi 4 though haha
@@senseweaver01you can get an infinite durability knife.
Loved this one. Can't wait to see the one for the remake
One of the best games of all time! I bloody love this game and great to see you so happy and loving it just as much! 😁 You absolutely smashed the professional play-through as-well well done 😊 Looking forward to your opinions on the remake and the next video as always Adam 🍻

I take that as a big compliment. Thank you.

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to you too!
So good I had to start up a new game myself! Amazing work as always Adam!
Such a good game. Cheers!
Great episode.
Resident evil 4 is one of my most played of all of them. I love it for what it is. I have never done professional mode but I may after this video.
Thanks again mate. Thoroughly entertained. 👍
Thank you.
Well worth trying Professional. If I can do it, you can too :)
Loved your cameo in mystics new platinum video
Was an honour to be part of it!
Nice one mate. Resi 4 is an absolute banger.
Thanks. RE4 is absolutely a banger!
Man i love your videos so much! i don't even like watching RE games due to aversion to horror in the past few years but this ill watch coz its Adam's
That is a huge compliment. Thank you!
Great vid Adam, as always:) also, it's worth mentioning that the game still looks remarkably well, given it's almost 20yo! Capcom really know their shit. Cheers Buddy.

Congratulations on your success! 100k not too far away.

Time to grab my hot tea. A warm blanket. And watch Adam do what he does best at :)

Savouring the classic 2004 brown palette haha. I love this game! Don't miss the era.

Excellent Adam, age hasn’t slowed you down one bit.
Only getting better :)
only 2 more years until you get back to nice RE games again haha! Great Vid :)
Great video as always 🎉
Thank you very much!
Looks like we both gonna be doing RE4 at the same time as each other ... hope we share a similar experience
Adam you know I love you buddy..... but the physical pain i felt when you forgot the shotgun in the beginning physically hurt my soul 😂
Haha, I don't blame you. Watching it back was also painful for me.

Of course, any content (RE especially) you upload is a gift and a pleasure to watch as always.

You might pick up from the intro to this episode that there is a pattern - one Resident Evil game per year. Next year is RE4 Remake, following year will be RE5, then RE6 and so on.
Don’t worry, just enjoy the games and I’ll be sticking around until one day it finally happens 😎
This was such a fun video to watch, can't wait for re4 remake and the Witcher 3

I love Resident Evil 4 including the remake.
Where's everyone going, Bingo? Haha hope you're Witcher 3 episode goes well. Next up is God of War Ragnarok for me
Thank you!
The Witcher 3 is indeed going well. Best of luck with God of War Ragnarok.
Wow this brings back some memories my favourite game of all time! Looking forward to playing the remake 👍
You’re not as good as you once were, but you’re as good as you’ll ever be.
I haven't seen all of the vid yet so apols if you mentioned it, but buying a capacity upgrade will fully refill a weapon. Good for the magnum in particular!
I did not mention that but did do it. Good to point out for players.
The game that made me love resident evil. I do love the remake but this one has such a place in my heart. Great heart warming episode as well!
Me too! Thanks, this was an excuse for me to gush about a beloved game for half an hour.
@@AdamMcDermottpicked a great one to gush about!
This is the content that makes staying in on a Friday night worth.
This time of year, staying in is best. Get nice and cosy.
Awesome. Man, I wish you'd do the Infamous series as well. 4 games to Platinum and 1 to 100%. Super fun games and the Plats are a blast (shard) to get. 😁
Thanks. I'm afraid inFamous won't be getting episodes. Already played 1 and 2 multiple times. Didn't click with Second Son but First Light was cool.

I remember when this first came out, I was like "it's all action, where's the horror?"
Then the remake comes out and I'm like "too much horror, where's the camp?"
Can't win I guess
Haha, we fans are impossible to please
Loved the video Adam. Nothing to say about the regenerators?
Thanks. That unfortunately fell through the cracks. I did make sure to include a couple clips of it towards the end of the video, as well as a clip of the giant moving Salazar statue. So much great stuff in RE4!
Og resi4 is pure adrenaline rush
i love the sass leon had in this game still cracks me up 😂
My favourite version of Leon
Been waiting for this since you announced it. I hope your really enjoying resident Evil 4 Remake will you be doing the separate ways DLC?
I'm highly considering for it another Bonus episode after Remake. Haven't finished recording the Remake yet but am in the final stretch. I'll make a decision then. There will be a RUclips/Twitter post if I start on Separate Ways.
To temper expectations, I'm 50/50. Need to do more research and see if I can fit it into my schedule.
Returning to this game, I feel like its a lot easier now that it orignially was, even on professional. We all know its mechanics and honestly they are quite easy to abuse, like stun locking ganados with bullets or the knife.
I expect the remake will have given you more of a challenge (although not as bad as S+ RE2 I hope)
I think over the years it has gotten easier to find good advice, especially with the rise of RUclips. Figuring out RE4 back then was a trial. Think my first ever playthrough was around 25 hours.
I'm deep into recorded the Remake and it has most certainly given me more trouble.
It’s crazy how dirty they did Luis in this game. I’m glad they gave him more screen time in the remake so we could actually care about his death. In this game it’s just like ya that happened
Hmm, I disagree. There isn't a lot of screen time for most characters. Luis is no exception.
I do agree the remake does a better job of showing more of the characters. Luis is a treasure. Also nice having more scenes of Leon and Ashley, I ended up liking Ashley more.
Still haven't touched a RE game but those special weapons at the end looked interesting haha
This is a great entry point, it was mine back in the day. You'd have fun. Them new game plus weapons are most certainly interesting, haha.
Love the journey
I love RE 4 2005. Glad to hear the remake is coming too. Witcher 3 seems like it will take a while.
I started recording The Witcher 3 in January and have been tipping away at it over the course of the year. So I am pretty far along in production. Episode will be done end of this month/early next month.
This game never gets old , there's copy of ps2 ps3 ps4 and on ps5 you can buy it at 19.99 with is cheap and its damn good
I agree, still enjoying playing it about 20 years since release.
Let’s gooo!!!! Can’t wait to watch this
Resident Evil 4 is definitely one of the best games of all time (maybe even the best of all time) it just never gets old there is nothing like it. Many games have tried replicating it, none have come close to it. And the best part about the remake? We have two RE4s. The world is just a better place with more RE4s
Well said!
Yay im early to this one. Oh I managd to finish my dishonored plat using some references from your journey :)
Wahey! Congrats on the Dishonored platinum.
I’ve played so much of the remake that the OG voice for Leon sounds so strange
I'm the other way around, haha
Fun fact: RE4 was initially going to be an action game that became devil may cry. Dante was going to be named Tony Redgrave and vergil was named Paul Redgrave.
Cool. Thank for the info. One of the reason I did the Devil May Cry episode and this one back-to-back.
That Mendez grenade strat tho. 😂😂😂
@@ahmadalhammady4975Haha, high level gaming strat
I replayed this just before the remake got released and once I got used to the horrible controls which by today’s standards are really horrible I had the best time still had the same anxiety gameplay I remember from my game cube awesome game
Good on you 100 percenting RE4 og. I wished they'd give the original RE4 a plat. I don't know why Capcom didn't. But fortunately the Remake remedies this issue. But good on you still 100 percenting it and hopefully we'll see you platinum the remake. One other game that's considered a mainline RE game I forgot to mention is RE Code Veronica. That game does have a platinum. Any chances we'll get to see a Code Veronica platinum? I'm probably not the biggest fan of Code Veronica. But it's not a bad game. It just has characters that you could probably say should've been left on the cutting board table. But it's still worth playing.
Yeah, strange it doesn't have a platinum. Takes 30+ hours to get the trophies that are there, well worth a platinum.
As for Code Veronica, I doubt it. However, I'm consider a Bonus episode for Separate Ways Remake.
@@AdamMcDermott Pretty cool.
Oh Adam, did you miss the free rocket launcher in the castle before the Verdrugo boss battle?
Ah, I got it but sold it for space. Was playing too well and had heaps of healing items and grenades :)
Question: if Nintendo added trophies/achievements or whatever they would call it (Badges)… “what would the first game you would complete?”
Interesting question. My answer would be Pokemon Red. It is why I did a Platinum Journey style video about it.
I do plan on covering a Nintendo game next year in a similar style video.
I remember getting to the Island on professional on ps2, and couldn’t beat it because of scarce ammo smh
Ah Resident Evil 4, always a good time nice to see you playing through this classic even if there is no platinum trophy. Also did you know that it's possible to kill Saddler in the final battle without the rocket launcher that Ada throws for you?
Thanks. Yep, I did it with the laser gun. Is there another way too?
@@AdamMcDermott Yeah just shoot and/or knife him in his main eye with whatever weapon you've got. I've watched a no upgrades handgun & knife only run on professional once before so that's how I know.
@@gallantmon4Woah, very cool. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
@@AdamMcDermott Yep and you're welcome.
In regards to RE4 Remake, do you think you'll do a bonus episode covering Separate Ways?
I'm not entirely sure, but I think so. Ada seems more interesting to play as than Leon.
Adam, i have a dreamy memory of you playing MGS peace walker, this really happen?
I didn't make an episode about it, but did mention I have played Peace Walker in a video before. Played a whole lot and finished it.
@@AdamMcDermottDo you think in the future you could do a platinum journey? I can help you with the online Trophies 😂😂
@@Gabriel_Simas_BentoNot a chance for an episode :)
@@AdamMcDermott So all I had to do was dream ;( hahahaaha
I love this game
Me too!
The only one I haven’t gotten yet was the shooting range trophy, I am so bad at them.
They kind of suck at times. Stick with it, if I can to do it, I'm sure you can too.
At the end of November, I beat the Remake of RE4. After almost 100 hours. I struggled with it quite a bit. I had never seen anything of the OG game. This was my first time. And now, I understand, why this is such a classic. Back then, this must have been a mindblowing experience. They did a fantastic job with the remake (in my opinion). Can’t wait for your opinion on the remake.
Damn, 100 hours. Fair play to you.
Yeah, for its time it blew us away. I think it holds up really well and has more satisfying combat than the remake. I
'd recommend giving it a shot sometime, but not soon. You need a break from Resident Evil, haha.
I do need a break from Resident Evil. I love the series and I am making my way through the game catalouge, but one a year is enough. One question: Do the knife break in the original game? @@AdamMcDermott
@@platinum_vaultThe knife does not break in the original game! Annoys the hell out of me in the remake, one of the coolest features being breakable.
I can see that. I personally don’t like breakable weapons. They are an annoyance to me. It is the reason why I couldn’t get into Zelda: Breath of the Wild. @@AdamMcDermott
Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but how did you get that much money to buy the infinite launcher/Chicago typewriter? Did you do the chicken egg farm at all, or does just playing on Professional pay that much more money? All in all, I also wanted to say great work on this vid/the channel as a whole! This vid was super cozy & fun to watch through, as is the rest of your content on the channel!!! RE4 truly is a timeless game, & even nearly 20 years later, it's as good as it was at launch! Truly a masterpiece
I sold all my other weapons. Once you have the Chicago Typewriter, you don't need anything else. Then I no longer need herbs or health sprays, so sold them as well as finding treasures gave me enough for the rocket launcher later in the game.
Thank you. A cosy atmosphere was exactly what I was going with for this episode. Just a guy happy to be replaying a childhood favourite game.
Yes, it is truly a masterpiece.
@@AdamMcDermott Ahhhhhh, smart man! That all makes sense!! And of course!! You're doing an excellent job with the channel, & I look forward to all the future uploads!!! You're probably the best platinum trophy hunter on YT, as it actually FEELS like i'm apart of the journey with you, rather than just skipping from trophy to trophy without taking anything in! Also, do you plan on going for the Dead Rising 1 platinum at some point since the remaster is coming out soon? If you ever decide to, I already know the 7 day survivor trophy is gonna be hell 😭😭😭
@@kakiharamasao Thank you very much for such kind words. Yeah, lot of trophy videos I don't even know if the person likes the game at the end. Just one trophy after another.
I won't be going for the Dead Rising 1 platinum. So many great games, can't platinum them all. My schedule is packed.
I don't get it. I have resident evil 4 HD on ps4, it doesn't have a platinum trophy, is this the ps3 version or something?
Platinum Journey "Bonus". I mention there isn't a platinum trophy while presenting. I do Bonus episodes covering games, challenges or DLC that don't have a platinum trophy, but still make them in a Platinum Journey style.
THE WITCHER NEXT?!? LETS GOOOOOO wonder if it’ll be over an hr and a half long 🤔
Don't think it will be that long. I recorded more than any other episode, but when it came to writing, when I meandered into side quests it started to feel aimless. Great to play but not great to watch.
The episode will have kind of an adventure feel. White Orchard, Vizima, Velen, Novigrad, Skellige and Kaer Morhen will the route. Gonna treat The Continent like a real place because that is what it felt like to me.
This is probably a lot longer of a response that you expected, haha.
When is the Witcher 3 video coming?
In the next couple of weeks. I'm deep into the editing - have 38 minutes of the final episode done. Still a bit to cover yet.
So what'll be your first Platinum Journey of 2024 unless you already know what that is? Also, good job on platting RE4.
Resident Evil 4 Remake :)
Im stuck in Salazar statue in professional it have bad sync
That can be tough. Stick with it, you'll get through it.
@@AdamMcDermott it been a month since I tried my fingers still have phantom of pain and still didn't get it when I try this on PC it will be peace of cake
Hell yeah
Resident evil 4 doesn't have trophies wich is sad due to that, and because i have it on pc, i bought Re 6 due to it's 4'99€ price hope it's good.
RE4 does have trophies, just not a platinum. 4.99 for RE6 is a great deal!
Ahhhh I’ll buy it at a high price
Fun fact: there is a big mistake concerning the Spanish they are speaking in this game. They are speaking Latin American Spanish, but the game takes place in Spain, where they speak Castilian Spanish. They fixed that for the remake.
That is a cool detail. Didn't know that, thanks for sharing.
Well done Mr McDermott on 100%
Out of all the Resident Evil games I just can't get into RE4 at all completed it and completely lost interest took me 5 months to finish
Thank you.
That's okay. We all have different tastes.
