hey salesman, when are ya gunna get back up with me?
no it dosent, but it has MUCH better graphics, it also dosnt have that lazer gun thing, and i like the controlls better
but if you dont have a GC PS2 is better than none!
have you gotten the chicago typewriter yet?
you know, the wolrd war 2 looking gun.
(whistling patiently)
yeah, i was at a fiends house, we beat asignment adda, and got the shicago typwriter, makes the game wayyyyy to easy, but still fun! anyway, now he’s at my house, and were busy blowing the crap out of each other with airsoft
what kind of airsoft gun do you have
Airsoft gun?
um, just a pistol, a DE spring powerd, i’ll probly get a fully/semi auto full sized MP5 soon, but for now, we’re just using pistols
hey whatever happend to la capana or the bell or something like that well hey nice guide and man i love my uzi it rocks ass dude well have a good one!
yeah, we (me and my friend) might get a set of 2 uzis (fully auto electric) off ebay (decided a full sized asult rifle might get us some uinwanted attentoin (we dont play at fields, just in the city)
must…stay…on…topic……AHHH!!! *head explodes*
those guys in the hoods in the castle? wat are they saying? it sounds like they’re saying mody de ti day? can anyone please tell me?
yo yo, salesman when the fuck are you gunna get to the island to answer my question?
WOW u guys must suck if u just go the chicago typewriter…have u beaten mercenaries mode?
In the castle, the cultists are say cohenlo and the easiest way to beat the island in mercenaries mode follows:
Leon: walk around and collect ammo and time while killing as many ppl as possible and make sure you grab the bonus times when u see alot of ppl and go on top of one of the roofs. when the giant chainsaw man comes out, go to the roof top with the zipline and take out your shot gun. shoot him in the face until he stumbles and evertim afterwards he will stumble until he dies
Ada: USE THE RIFLE!!!
Hunk: (this is probably the hardest thing to do in all of mercenaries mode)save your grenades up for the chainsaw man and snap other ppl’s necks by shooting them ONCE in the head. if you get close to them w/o getting hit, it will be easier because the others will back off
Krauser: use the bow and save the arm attack for the chainsaw guys and bonustimes
(make sure you dont miss with the arm attack)
Wesker:EASY just use the magnum and rifle on the chainsaw man
wait hold on… the cultists say mohenlo…which means move it
and wat the hell does luis Baton mean?
the commandos say is when they are charching
Excuse me metroidman (omg i love metroid SAMUS U ROCK), ive been having a few rooms in my house re-furbished and my kitchens being made again so i had to pack away my pc to make more room in my room for boxes and stuff..
yes well with “zyles” or “zylz” (whatever you call it), it should be a random grunting noise i think, its the yelling sound they make before attacking you, however i have had no luck finding such a word yet, im too busy playing my new games (RE0, splinter cell: chaos theory, mario sunshinem, Resident evil remake and metal gear solid: the twin snakes) So, ive been a bit pre-occupied with the work and gaming lol.
As for “U guys r stupid”, the word is not “Mohenlo” its “Cogedlo”. The word “Cogedlo” is pronounced with a heavy H sound, so it sounds like “Cohiglo”, and it means “grab him”
Sorry metroidman, i havent reached the island yet, i think im around chapter 3 or 4, i havent played resi4 in 2 weeks now, im sure when Tony comes back he can help me out, and have a little patience, i know i said i’ll be here everyday but hey, some stuff does come up you know, i have my priorities. Patience my friend, patience.
if u know so much, how are you not even at the island?
anyway the z-sound they make…is that the one were they charge up to you like the men with the shock sticks and scream as they swing it at you?
I play ed again and think i heard it as zaposetby a few ppl like the guys with the shock sticks and the giant men in armor kinda sounds like apple land…right?
i dont think the guys with shock sticks are actualy saying anything, they just kinda sqeal
the reason why i only just got the typewritter is i only got the game a week ago, and have not had that much time to play, due to the fact that i’m testing for a black belt in a few weeks
ohh that might explain it…even tho i did get in october of last year like a week after i got the game….it isn’t that hard
R u sure the shock stick guys dont say anything?
i know that they scream like when they die, but some times they say detras de ti ibicil and zapotec or sumthiing….im pretty sure one said luis baton as well
Thats what i said, and yes “U guys r stupid” i have reached the island, more than 28 times, yes, on my other professional game, im on round 17, yes, 17. So i rest my case.
As for the “zylz” or “zoylz” noise that the ganados with shock sticks, its more of a noise, a sqeal as flamingsqirrelofdeathv2 has stated perviously, no wonder i was getting confused, seriously people, its a barking noise, it doesnt mean anything, heck, its not even spanish, so dont ask silly and pointless qns like that *COUGH METROIDMAN COUGH* and getting all worked up about it
thanks, salesman
say i if u think that “u guys r stupid is gay and is a n00b!!!
i !!!!!!!!!!
are we all going to st4rt 5p34k1ng 1337? u n00b!!!!! lol wtf pnwzor……..
okay okay, enough 10 year old crap. and really the salesman, 29 times??? methinks you have too much time on your hands…. wait this is coming from the guy that logged over 100 hours on harvest moon 3 before he played it so much the internal batterie died (yes, i know i have no life) i really think the game kinda goes down hill at the island, i mean, it tried to put a freaky “mad seintest” thing in there, and it didn’t work so well, then they put in the regenorators……….oooooo…………i hate them so much. it got better after a while, but still that part just was too….. old resi for me, it didn’t go with the rural spanish thiong they had going.
True, it became more action orientated, but hey its no big deal, and yes, i do have a lot of spare time on me right now lol. Oh and “metroidman”, please grow up, it’ll do us a favour instead of moaning at you, this isn’t a “who-likes-who-and-who-thinks-whos-a-n00b” OmG H@X0rZ forum, its for resident evil 4’s spanish wordings.
I heard the fat ganados yell “wippersnapper”
yeah, do you know how to take a childish joke? dont you ever feel like goin out of control sometimes? geez dude!
what about “cohelo” (cO-he-lO) (i dunno how to spell it, but thats what it sounds like) thats what the monks (in the castle) repeat over and over again
I’ve heard the monks occassionally mutter
“Ja esoda meh asplastar”
Meaning, anyone?
you mean “es hora de rezar” which means, “it’s time to pray”
my bad, it means “now is the time to pray”
Flamingsquirrelofdeathv2 – Yeh, “Cohelo” is actually “Cogedlo” which means “grab him”.
Remember people, the word “Cogedlo” is pronounced “Cohilo” as the “g” is pronounced with a heavy “h” sound.
thanks, but dosent it seem a little wierd to be chanting “grab him, grab him, grab him” especialy when they say it, but havent noticed you yet
Yes i have noticed that and given it some extreme thought, and i have come to the conclusions that due to the fact that there are no female zealots, the male zealots have become sexually fustrated, and hearing them around the corner chanting “Cogedlo Cogedlo Cogedlo…” (Grab him Grab him Grab him) has lead me to believe that there is something going on before Leon comes within sight of them, something that i do NOT want to mention
*shudders* and i thought that the t-virus zombies in raccoon city eating each other like dinner was bad enough… urgh… *shudders again*
Excuse my silly grammatical error, i meant to say “i have come to a conclusion” not “the conclusions”
my bad
awww man, thats funny! i dont own any other resi games, though i have played them, and become extremely frustrated at the camera angles and lack of shooting control, they are still fun, i wanna see capcom remake all the old resi games, but with resi 4 style controlls and camera
PS. is there a way to kill regenorators with the chigago typwritter? with the hand cannon, i know you just blast the crap out of them like twice, but i have yet to master mercinaries mode, and have not unlocked it yet (okay, i admit, i suck, i only have leon, i havent even unlocked anybody else, but i’ve only played it like twice)
i wanted to know, becuase, should i just continue playing normal mode, or stop, beat mercinairs, and try to upgrade the HC before getting to that danmed island, becuase i truly hate those regenorators
oh yeah, and what about “umparastaos” (oom-Para-stA-Os)
ganados somtimes yell that when they first see you
I think what you mean is “un forastero!” which means “a foreigner!” check above in the giant list, but that is a bit different.
yeah, in the list it’s “¡Es el forastero! – It’s the foreigner!” the fact that they have extremely heavy acents dont help all that much, but thanks
i found out that the regens die extremely quikly under the chicago, i beat the game again, and also got the IRL (infinte rocket launcher) now to get the hand cannon (even though i suck at mercinaries) it’s funny how quickly krauser dies with the typwritter
oh yeah, and in your “gramatical error” you were actauly right, it would be “the conclusoin
” “a conclusoin” would imply there are more than one, but it would still be worded imporperly, your post worded properly would be
“Yes i have noticed that and given it some extreme thought, and i have come to the conclusion that there is something going on before Leon comes within sight of them, something that i do NOT want to mention, due to the fact that there are no female zealots, the male zealots have become sexually fustrated, and hearing them around the corner chanting “Cogedlo Cogedlo Cogedlo…” (Grab him Grab him Grab him)
*shudders* and i thought that the t-virus zombies in raccoon city eating each other like dinner was bad enough… urgh… *shudders again*”
see, so your post was actualy full of gramatical erros, first you said “conclusoinS” with a S, but only mentoind one, then instead of telling us your conclusoin, you told us WHY you had arived at that conclusoin, then told us the conclusoiun, when it should have been the other way around.
SEE? and you thought i was an idoit just becuase my spelling is horrible!
ARGH! I THOUGHT MY GCSE ENGLISH EXAMS WERE OVER!
*cheesy darth vader episode 3 ending voice*
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
ownd my 13 year old……
crap, i meant “owned by a 13 year old”
how about morevsasweve sound like “more-he’s-a-swEvE”
when you come across all those guy in the castle, after the novistor (buggy guys) part, there all chanting it, and it is said by other people too
wait never mind “Morir es vivir. – To die is to live”
oh yeh, i loved that bit, i just shot a rocket into the middle of the crowd and BAM. Arrr i hav theee treasurrrre.
na i drop a flash, and run infrnt of the door, then kill em all wit the shotgun as they they try to get out, it’s rather comical
i severly sprianed my finga today, it’s ina splint, sprains take longer to heal, and hurt worse than breaks (acording to the doc anyway) so i know my spellling and such is horrible
ooooh, hope it gets better soon!
crap, i just found out it’s broken, a hairline fracture and a chip, so that will take a while to heal, i tried to play resi with it, lets just say, WITH krauzer, in mercs, on the VILLAGE i didn’t even get 4 stars.
*winces* owch
I feel my jedi reflexes tingling… i think this blog is coming to a close now 🙁 ….
