The thing is, it works because they weren't going for camp. "No! Dont. Go." "Chris. Where's. Chris" Yes part of the charm is seeing this American culture distiled from a Japanese point of view.

Anyone who hasn't played the original RE in a really long time should play it again. It's an experience.

Just finished a little marathon session of this game. Started off by playing the first 2 chapters of Chris's campaign then popped over to mercenaries mode to try it out for a bit. Finally I finished off the night by playing the first 2 chapters of Leon's campaign. I really don't get what all the fuss is about. I've been having a great time. As far as I'm concerned the game is worth the price of admission just for Leon's campaign as it has been fantastic so far. So yeah, I'm off to get some sleep. Will probably try to finish the game when I wake up.

As dumb, simple, and non-revelatory as that sounds.

Chris' section is by far the weakest link of this game. I'm enjoying Leon's and the bit I've played of Jake's (although, not as much so far as I enjoyed 4 and 5), but Chris' is frustrating, boring, and nigh-on unplayable at times. I'm halfway through Chapter 2, and I'm not really enjoying it all. It really feels rushed, and the shooting mechanics are frankly not good enough for a game that has enemies firing back at you. The camera and the aiming in this one are terrible.

I think I'm mainly worried about me getting pissed off about the control system changes and those who say this system makes it impossible to shoot and inventory control becoming tedious (moreso than 5) I'll probably be ok when I actually have the controller in my hand and get inevitably killed a few times figuring it out, but it's those pregame high hopes that I don't wish to be dashed. We'll see in a few when I go pick up my copy. Hope everyone who already has their copies are having fun

Did you play the demo? The controls/inventory are easily the best in the series. They're still a little janky because it's Resident Evil and only just figured out how to move and aim simultaneously along with not driving people like tanks but it's not bad.

Sadly I didn't play the demo (hell I didn't even know one got released to be honest), I pre-ordered it out of merits from previous games and that I've grown up with the series. Hell, if it's just slightly better than 5 (which is still a good game), I'd be happy. Like I said, most of my worries is probably just pregame anxiousness and will probably go away when I actually play the drat thing. Heading out to get it now. See you goons in a few hours

There's no "kind of" about it. Also, Shadows of the Damned, the Phoenix Wright games, Viewtiful Joe, Dino Crisis 2, etc. Mikami has worked on a whole lot of silly/campy games in one capacity or another, its dumb to look at his history and assume RE4 is funny on accident.

Is Re6 worth getting for someone who is a big RE fan but hated the demo. Specifically I hated the demo because I felt like it was very heavy handed in shooshing me along so the game could go at it's own pace instead of mine. Is the whole game like that or is it mostly during story and set piece type moments?

Not played much but I'm back on the streets as Leon and it's great how manic the streets feel. It's a loving warzone. NESguerrila, at the moment it's all been pretty linear. There's been one section where I had to delve off in search of a keycard and that was in the demo too. But as I say, I'm not THAT far into it.

Just finished Leon's chapter 2. Not as good as RE5, I have to say - I've sunk dozens of hours into that one - but I'm enjoying it all the same. Played a little of Mercs mode but I have the sinking feeling you're going to have to fork out  in order to enjoy it properly, considering it only comes with three maps (unless others unlock down the line - there's only the Urban Chaos and two others marked as ??? so far). Jake is an absolute beast in Mercs mode though. He's basically a nerfed version of Midnight Wesker from RE5, but even still, he has the best kung fu for racking up kills and bonus time: second time using him (fourth time playing the mode full stop) and I managed to get up to 142/150 kills. Anyway, if anyone's looking for a reliable co-op partner on 360, I'm your manL GT: RaptusRegaltier

Leon does Gun-Kata when you quick fire whilst dual wielding! Hahah. edit: What dictates you smashing a zombies head against a wall? I've only done it once, but it was against a waist high spiked fence so I couldn't be happier. Double edit: Not ACTUAL Gun-Kata, sorry to get your hopes up. But it does look like it a bit, from what I recall. Diesel Fucker fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Oct 2, 2012 |

Using a melee attack on a stunned/stumbled zombie while it and you are close enough to a wall. Melee basically has two "tiers"; a zombie that's just standing there will eat a gun check or roundhouse kick, but a zombie that's off-balance or stumbling forward is open to an attack that might kill it.

Trying to figure out if i should pick up RE6. I loved the demo and was a big fan of RE4 and RE5. Had a blast with co-op in RE5. The reviews seem to be all over the place for this game. Is it one of those love it or hate it games? If so, since I enjoyed the demo, will I enjoy the full game?

So is the ps3 version totally hosed or what? Me and a friend are trying to connect to each other and I keep getting "failed to join" and same goes for when he tries to connect to me. I've sat in a open lobby for 10-20 minutes with no one jumping in and... kind of frustrated truth be told!

I agree that Mikami definitely has the capacity to make funny games, but he only produced the games that you just brought up. The only game he made that was definitely meant to be funny was God Hand, then you have RE4 (which seems serious outside of the dialogue) and Vanquish (which is really weird and tonally inconsistent, I suspect it's supposed to be satirical but I don't know if it accomplishes it). But now I'm derailing, so on the subject of RE4, I have heard some super hardcore Resident Evil fans on other forums say that the Japanese script plays everything with a straight face. I don't know whether that's true or not, though. I do know that Mikami was actively trying to avoid camp when he was directing REmake, and he had to keep the English scriptwriters from putting references to goofy RE1 stuff in, so that might indicate something.

Anyone else having problems with getting behind cover? Things that seem to be cover don't want to protect me. Started with Jake, and had to start over because I realized to late that ammo conservation is once again the name of the game. That and it took me forever to figure out how exactly I was supposed to yank the protective covering off the giants back. That should not have taken me that long but it did anyway  Edit: oh and knocking a zombie dead with the charge punch as it runs around a corner will never stop being amusing to me.

Positioning plays a factor with many melee moves. Being behind them or in front, while they are down in both ways, behind a piece of cover or waist high divider, and if you charge your attack or are in complete CQC mode. They all have a bearing in how you will come out swinging

It seems like if you're right up in the zombie's face (and the zombie is fairly close to the wall when stumbled), there's a better chance of doing it. If you're a little bit away you'll do one of the usual melee animations. Anyhow I've only been playing Leon's campaign but I am enjoying the poo poo out of it. That said anyone playing needs to immediately gently caress around the aim sensitivity and turn that poo poo down several pegs as well as turn on the old laser sights since the crosshairs are terrible. Turning down the camera turn speed helped too. The defaults are all floaty and bad but I managed to get something akin to RE5 type speeds and have been happy with it.

Bolded to stress this point. while you are in the options menu, I would highly recommend switching color of the laser to green because red likes to disappear very fast in the action, especially in the explosions. Green stands out big time.

I'm not sure what mongoloid on Capcom's staff decided to set all the defaults on the most awful first impression setting possible, but I hope a zombie repeatedly beats them in the face with the business end of a pipe.

So I've just finished Jake and Sherry's campaign having already done Leon and Chris and the credits this time around have the most godawful cheesy rock track I think I've ever heard. Now that I've played the three campaigns they all have their highs and lows, I think I'd struggle to point at one and say 'this is definitely the worst (or best)'. I guess if I had to pick one I'd say I prefer Leon's, I thought some of the boss fights in Chris and Jake's got a bit tedious.

Can't wait to unlock infinite ammo and waste through everything with the grenade launcher  Haven't really been feeling Chris's campaign much although he is an rear end in a top hat now which gives his cutscenes a bit more flavour. Hope Jake is fun to play as a more melee orientated character. Edit- Just as I say that I'm chasing Ada on the boat and walk through the showers only to find a J'avo chilling out under the shower head
