Even with infinite ammo and upgraded weapons this really isn't a fun time. The hard parts (Stronghold, Heisenberg's Factory, Chris's section etc) are miserably difficult, and the slow, slightly boring parts (Donna, Moreau) remain slow and slightly boring.

I say all this as someone who has completed every RE game except RE0 on the hardest mode.

Ah well, it's done now, and at least I've learned you can cancel Miranda's darkness attack with a single flashbang.

Edited for clarification.

ETA: There is one thing I love about VoS, and that's the Lei/crystal remains drops - they seem to have been boosted to match the crazy high damage resistance of enemies, and you get way more crystal wings, skulls etc than other modes.If you can finish it it's worth farming to get Lei (and CP) to unlock all the fun stuff.

Not to mention destroying catapults in the castle.

I'm working towards 100% challenges, but I am having trouble with what I thought would be some of the easier ones: S+ ranks on Assisted and Standard.

I did two runs today:

Assisted, 02:24:XX, 18 Saves (new save) - got A rank.

Standard, 02:07:02, 6 Saves (new save) a also A rank.

I'm using the Sweeper and Elite Knife, but I thought that was allowed, bought one RPG for Saddler on the Standard run.

I thought it was just a new save (not NG+) and under 02:30:00 for S+ on Standard? Wondering what I'm missing.
