ImpAtom posted:S-ranking stages unlocks stuff. So far as I can tell, you don't need to get an S rank to unlock anything. A ranks unlock the character's alternative costume and a B rank on each of the three stages unlocks Helena, Piers and Sherry. You unlock Carla by unlocking all the other characters' costumes (so by getting an A rank with every character). In It For The Tank fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Oct 7, 2012 |

I'm convinced Chris' final boss is impossible if you play as Piers. The AI will only ever shoot the weak spots by accident, and Piers' thing doesn't seem to phase him in his normal form.

As usual, while the game tells you you can charge up attacks, it neglects to tell you you can fire weak shots at it which do a better job at stunning it. Save the big burst for the cocoon, then run up and melee the pods.

Little Mac posted:I'm playing as Piers in my co-op playthrough of Chris' campaign and I like the storyline a lot. However, I'm also playing with the assumption that Piers is Chris' illegitimate child who grew up and followed in his father's footsteps.  " and "Praise" is "Don't get cocky". Started up on Jake's thing today, so far it definitely seems the weakest one. CQC is fun as hell to use but they could have just named the whole thing "Gimmicks & QTEs". It's still pretty fun though

There's something I really wish they patched in, other than the camera FOV change. I really wish they patched in invulnerability for the OTG attacks, because holy poo poo it's annoying that you're completely vulnerable during them. I guess I can kinda understand why they didn't do it, since mercs would become kinda easy if you just did jump kicks into stomps 100% of the time. But either that or the changing it so you don't have to position yourself for killing stomps would make people less frustrated, I think.

Pubbies, stop loving dying in Mercenaries!! 40 minutes of playing and nothing to show for it because everyone always dies, even if we have a loving 130 combo on the go and the person appears to know what they are doing. I wish it were easier to share health in this mode. A quick option to give away half your tablets would be nice.

This game feels so weird/not good compared to the other RE games. Even 5 felt better at times which isn't saying much. Its too much action and too little survival, but I really haven't dug deep enough to make such claims worth merit. My major bitches so far is that the menu system is not in the pause screen which is a huge pain in the rear end if you're stuck some where and need to adjust brightness. Too bad you have to tough it out until you reach a slow area. There are bad checkpoints that can gently caress you over royally over and over until you do it just right that one time(ie. starting out with no ammo against the huge guy on the helicopter). Edit: gently caress this helicopter scene. Stuck with a magnum with no ammo and in hand, 9mm ammo on the floor and barely enough time to get it out, reloaded and pointed at the ceiling before sliding to my death! Nm fixed after 10 or so deaths. please tell me it gets better at some point that whats in Jake's early story. onemanlan fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Oct 7, 2012 |

onemanlan posted:Edit: Figured it out Jake is the gimmick mode character, about 50-60% of his campaign is vehicles, and weird moments where the gameplay is just kind of strange. I didn't have much problems with it personally but his campaign can be overwhelming if you choose it first, and probably give a bad representation of the rest of the game.

Decided to start chapter 2 of Jake's campaign just so I have something to do. Half an hour later and no progress made, I switched it off. I can see why people talk about it in such... less than glowing terms.

I think he's always been my favourite character, since I started the series with #2. And while it might be pretty lame or whatever I liked the way that, at the end, he protects Ada from Simmons as I don't think i've seen another character act like that in the series. Was neat.

Billy is dead? That sounds like some bullshit Rebecca would spread. And you're not going to listen to her stupid rear end, are you? What would Billy do? He'd piledrive those lies right through a table like Mike loving Haggar. That's what Billy would do. In fact the next game should just be Billy & Barry co-op. Dropkicks and revolvers all the time. And Leon could be their handler oh and Chopper Mike is back. Pow, GOTY. Who's campaign should I start next, Chris or Jake? Does it even matter? Resident Evil what happened to you  AASman posted:This is the best synopsis of the game that I've come across. Why thanks  I was telling a buddy yesterday that Resident Evil has basically become that great person you've known for years but kinda grew apart. Then oh they're back in town? Cool, let's hang out and catch up! Oh. You've got six kids. And five known daddies. And four teeth. And a three way addiction between booze, oxy, and meth. Granted this may be me comparing a video game franchise to some folks I knew back in school and recently bumped into. But the feeling of disappointment and wasted potential is still there. But at least the game doesn't have a pungent aroma that you can actually taste in the back of your mouth.

I mean it in a figurative sense. Billy hasn't come up at all past RE0 and the Ecliptic Express in Umbrella Chronicles. No file, no off-hand mention, no nothing. EDIT: A little help on Ada's campaign, Chapter 2? The puzzle with the hanging people and the chest under the gallows. What am I supposed to do? EDIT: NM got it.

Well, he's got to pretend he's dead or they'll throw him back on death row again, so this doesn't surprise me. He's probably got blonde hair now, lives under an alias in Baja California and works as an auto mechanic. Far from zombies and leeches.

Billy's dead. From a file on Rebecca's desk in the N64 version of Resident Evil 2: quote:#File 09/16 Yes, Billy "Koen". To Capcom, he's dead. But in-universe he's out there living the American dream.

Resident Evil what happened to you I played them in the order the game lists them (Leon, Chris, Jake) and found that works story wise. Like stuff in Jake's goes into things that Chris' merely introduced. People aren't lying when they say Leon's campaign is the highlight of the game. Chris starts out okay but has some awful awful vehicle sections towards the end and an obnoxious but manageable final boss. The first half of Jake is terrible but I thought the second half was decent and almost fun. I think I heard Ada is suppose to be really good but I took a break from the game as soon as I unlocked it.

Yeah she fakes his death at the end of RE:0, and he runs off to greener pastures. Although on the other hand he also has to run through miles of B.O.W infested forest to get there first so maybe he really does get killed.

Billy, Carlos, and Rebecca have got to be some of the smartest characters in the series by this point. They saw all these crazy monsters and zombies and giant murder-worms and poo poo, and they just said "Nope, I'm out." Every now and then, Billy hears about another outbreak of wacky poo poo on the news, sees a picture of Chris, and thinks to himself "Heh, suckers." I guess you could count Barry in that, too, but I like to believe he's getting into his own increasingly ridiculous misadventures in Canada or something. Just running through the forest, headbutting moose zombies, eternally wondering if that really was Chris's blood.

The fact that Barry had already reproduced by the time of the first game is a source of endless entertainment to me. I would play an entire game that's just Barry doing his best to raise his daughters, who are endlessly embarrassed by, yet proud of, him.

Put another 10 hours into RE6 mercenaries, and while I don't hate it nearly as much as I did when I first started, I still think it's much worse than 5's mercs. Negatives *Sloppy melee system. No good way to quickly get behind someone to do a back melee attack. *No invincibility animations for downed enemy stomps (wtf?!). *No SS rank, and no separate scores and ranks for the different costumes. *Terrible terrible inventory system. Why do I have to keep switching back to grenades if I want to throw multiples? Positives *No pipe manjinis. I'll probably still play a fair deal of it, but probably no where near as much as I did 4 and 5.
