Nostalgic Gaming: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis!

Okay! If zombies from Resident Evil weren't enough, Capcom decides to make Nemesis! A relentless boss of some sort that chases you and makes you decide if you want to run away and save ammo, or, you can fight him to reap the rewards which are only available and exclusive in hard mode.

My favorite weapon in Resident Evil 3 has got to be the Grenade Launcher. It's got 4 types of grenades you can put in and all of them are useful throughout the game! But my favorite grenade type has got to be the freeze rounds because it just wreaks Nemesis' health and it slows him down a bit.

The only bad thing about the grenade launcher is that Nemesis can dodge the rounds you fire at him but if you're 4-5 feet away from him, it's pretty much a guaranteed hit. Just dodge his attacks and punish him with a round or two and everything'll be fine.

If compared to the previous game, this one's much shorter and only has one scenario but for me the replay value for this game is fun and rewarding at the same time due to the fact that every time you go through the game, you get progressively better and see different ways on how to play it.

Shotguns, Handguns, Magnum and a lot of other weapons are in the game for you to play around, just be sure that your gun has some bullets in it, hate to see you shooting blank of course but it's happened to me back then and it's a common thing for beginners.

But with the amount of guns the game has, it also has a lot of different enemies, ranging from zombies to decapitating hunters, so have fun dealing with those guys!

I've played a lot of Resident Evil 3 but I've never had the chance to get an A rank, the highest I got was B and it seems that healing with a mixed herb reduces a lot of your points.

I did a run where I skipped Nemesis fights to reduce the damage received and save time to get an A rank but I still got a B rank.

This game just pushes you to the limit!

If I get the chance to play this game again I'll aim for the A rank as it'll be my Resident Evil 3 goal!

If you haven't played Resident Evil 3 back then, don't worry, It's never too late to play this awesome classic game. Though the tank controls can sometimes be a nuisance to new comers but it's all good in the end.

MH4U: My Mixed Armor Sets! Set #4! Honed Blade!

This is the armor set that I've used a lot with different weapons. It's got a good mix of offensive and defensive skills and the armor pieces themselves have high defenses.

I got lucky with the edgemaster +4 chest piece here because this was really hard to come by for me for quite some time and I'm very happy that I eventually got one.

This armor set was one of those sets that I set out to get from the very beginning of the game and once I completed it, it's served me well enough and more.

When I don't know which armor set to take to a hunt, this is what I usually pick. This is kind of my generic set that can go with any hunt and with any weapon equipped, well maybe not the GS but most weapons for that matter.

The armor pieces and talisman are:

Zinogre Helm X - OO
Esurient Armor - Edgemaster +4
Kujula Grip - O
Grand Divine Ire Obi - OO
Vangis Greaves X - OOO
Creator Talisman - Mounting +6, Evasion +7 OOO

Since it's made out of rarity 9 and 10 armor pieces the total defense it has is high.
Maxed out Defense = 746 (No armor talon/charm)

Elemental Resistance:

Fire +5
Water -7
Thunder +3
Ice -5
Dragon +3

The elemental resistances are almost near neutral and this makes it great for all purpose hunts. Nothing will sting too much if you get hit by an elemental attack but since there's that evasion skill, why not just roll away from harms way?

Decorations needed:

Evasion +3 Jewel x1
Sharpness +1 Jewel x1
Tenderizer +1 Jewel x2
Tenderizer +4 Jewel x2

Skills activated:

Honed Blade (10)
Razor Sharp (10)
Weakness Exploit (10)
Evasion +1 (10)

Evasion +1 is optional for the CB but for some weapons it can be an easy way of getting through attacks and punishing the monster right after. SnS, DB, LS, SA, Hammer, HH even the Lance and GL are compatible with this set since it has no specialization in any specific weapon.

Honed Blade has got to be the best blademaster skill there is assuming that the sharpness bar of the weapon isn't maxed out already. Attack Up L and Sharpness +1? And add in Razor Sharp for more purple hits? Yes, sir!

I know I'm kind of obsessed with the purple sharpness theme but come on, that 1.45 multiplier is so hard to resist! There are tons and tons of Honed Blade sets out there, this set is a simple one compared to the others but this one is special to me because it's helped me in a lot of post G-rank hunts.

May we all be blessed with luck on finding relics and charms! Happy hunting!
