phil is going to try to finish the game today. he has the final carlos segment and the lab left. I dont predict too much trouble in the hospital aside from the fact that hunters are gnarly on hardcore.
if hes been watching guides he'll use grenades to deal with 2 and run past 2 of them. I think the second to last nemesis fight will ruin phil, even though its similar to the clock tower fight I don't think he'll have any mines left. he'll have to wait for nemesis to be on the front side of the silos then realize he has to shoot the big red things. shooting nemesis with anything aside from a grenade wont knock him down either do if he blows all his grenades early hes in a lot of trouble. the fight also ends differently in hardcore he basically has to go through a longer version of the fight. I hoping for another tantrum.
the final nemesis fight is also pretty rough on hardcore but shouldn't give him too much trouble if he has the magnum and has crafted enough ammo (you need 12, which is what the game gives you, if you can aim decently). all in all hoping tevin restreams, otherwise I'm gonna have to catch it on darkdave
