Even beyond that there's silly overlap. Piers gets two sniper rifles for example. I'd rather not be lugging around ammo for two weapons that fill the same niche.

Even more than that, it resembles other games which play very differently. If you handed RE6 to a gamer who was unfamiliar with the RE series but knew Gears of War or whatever? They'd play it completely wrong because it resembles but is very distinct from those games. Even someone familiar with Dead Space would probably completely misunderstand how to play due to the huge emphasis on melee.

RE6 is currently $39.99 on amazon if you have any bum friends who didn't want to pay full price because the reviews were bad.  Wooph posted:Going back to play RE5 again on the PC after Gold Edition on the PS3, it's so smooooooth It has a page in the Steam store, but it just says coming in 2013. Hopefully it will be as easy and fun to mess with as RE5 was.

Got around to starting the game and I just dropped into the sewers as Leon, but I'm confused as hell. Should I be trying to melee everything? Shoot it? Shoot it to set up melee like in RE4? But both approaches get my face eaten and then the healing system and then the dodging implies something and I have no idea if I should be jumping between campaigns or playing one at a time or or or or or

poptart_fairy posted:This is me. I am that person. Melee. It's important to understand that melee is an option in almost every fight that isn't a boss fight or certain kinds of mini-bosses. For zombies and J'avo, you want to be going for a headshot into a melee RE4 style. Your pistol is for stunning primarily and killing secondary. If you can't take the time to line up a shot you want to do a Quick Shot (aim + shoot at the same time.) This stuns the enemy and allows a weaker melee attack than if you stunned them manually. You can also counter attacks by pressing the melee button right before they hit you. Do not use regular melee (i.e: on non-stunned enemies) unless you have no other choice. Do not use melee recklessly since you have a stamina bar. This is unlikely to run out unless you're spamming melee attacks wildly but keep an eye on it. For "elite" enemies they usually have a trick. The lizard-like J'avo, for example, are stunned by a slide attack. Right afterwards you can do a special QTE to do massive damage/kill them. You can also just shoot them but it's usually more effective to figure out the trick. For bosses you want to set them up for melee attacks however you can. Most bosses have a melee option, either by doing enough damage to stun them or by tricking them into an environmental hazard. (Sometimes both!) This is the point where guns become the most useful for just shooting them, but you still want to focus on weak points. The difference between shooting a weak point and anywhere else is massive. You are free to do campaigns however you want but it's generally good to just go through the entire thing instead of swapping. You'll otherwise be replaying the crossover segments fairly often. Healing is straightforward when explained: Herbs now convert into tablets. Each tablet represents one bar of health. Higher level herbs create more tablets. Green = 1 Green + Green = 3 Green + Green + Green = 6 Green + Red = 6. Popping a tablet restores one block of health for each tablet you pop. Popping even one tablet instantly restores your stamina bar to full. You can mix herbs from the item menu, or do it automatically with a button combination. I recommend the item menu since you can access it during melee attack 'cutscenes' and the game will automatically select the proper herb mixture. (G+R over G+G.) Never use a single green herb. It is never worth it, unlike previous REs. One tablet is nothing. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 16, 2012 |

Thanks man. With all that in mind I feel like the game's clicking in place - still getting into the rhythm of it (and enemies who leap without warning can go gently caress themselves), but I rampaged through the second half of chapter 1 by spin kicking and suplexing everything. The best game.

I don't wanna spoil the very last thing of the game, so What's up with the end sequence of Ada's chapter? All the other end sequences were about the characters from the respective chapter, so I was pretty confused by it not being about her. Is Ada's final sequence just supposed to be the one before the credits and I were to see "Jake Muler having an apple in Arabia" as some kind of nice little secret thing I unlocked for finishing the game proper? Because I didn't really go "whoa!"

That QTE is the best one in the game just because of how long it goes on for. And of course you weren't screaming through it, head first..... Also the fact the enemy just follows you in was hilarious.

Krad posted:Some of the death animations are unnecessarily long and make me kinda squirm. Even when you get chomped down by a zombie and they tear your guts out... for like a full minute. There's a dog tag title for 'dying awesomely' - presumably getting those special fatality animations. So, I rented RE6 after all the drama and mud-slinging had died down. Lately ignored the arguments back and forth, so went in with not much in the way of expectations one way or another. Just completed Leon's campaign. Game says I took 8 hours. Holy crap, this is huge if that's just 1/4 of the whole game. It's clearly a case of content over polish, but I've really enjoyed it so far. It's an almost exhaustingly long series of ridiculous setpieces interspersed with traditional RE weirdness. Funny how the bigger bosses have begun to resemble Akrid from Lost Planet more than anything, too - you couldn't mistake this for anything but a Capcom game. So far if I had to attach stupid arbitrary numbers to the game, I'd ballpark it at a high 70s/low-80s sorta score. A lot of my all time favourites probably fall in that bracket, though. Also, one thing I think a lot of players were confused with is that melee is far more central to play than in previous games. With Leon, you can instantly kill just about any regular zombie enemy with the knife by running up to it, quick-shotting it (Aim + Fire simultaneously from neutral) to stagger, followed by a finish. I never really ran short of ammo once I realized I could pick off outliers like that. You also do way more damage against prone enemies with the knife equipped. Usefully, lying prone regenerates melee stamina about 5x faster. Safer than you'd think to just dive backwards out of a scrum and spend a couple seconds recharging.

My only real complaint about the game is that there are no more out there weapons like the Las Plagas laser from 4 or the chaingun from 5 or even the riot gun. I imagine that the game would be stupid fun with infinite ammo and some of these.

You have all your weapons at once and the most management you have to do is occasionally dropping some ammo to have room for an herb. I think RE6 is worth $40. That's basically the right price point for it to me honestly.
