Team Wolfpack required six people to kill a single lightly armed police officer. They needed US Army assistance to bring down a single Nemesis when an unarmored woman in a haltertop and a fodder UBCS grunt manage to do so repeatedly. When Birkin started wrecking poo poo, Hunk just tells them to get the gently caress out and secures the sample himself. Wolfpack gets clowned on for the entirety of ORC and the only reason Umbrella even paid them any attention after they burn noticed them was when they put a dent in their BOW investment. Either Hunk is just so insanely competent that he makes everyone else look awful, or all of Umbrella really is just a slipshod organization. I think it's both.

Are there seriously only 3 non-DLC Mercenaries maps available? Because if so, oh man, I have got to stop buying games from Capcom. This is like the fourth time they've sent me on this merry-go-round.

J'avo can potentially turn into wall-crawling spider-men that shoot Uzis at you, or a man with giant worms for a head that runs in circles flailing his arms wildly. J'avo own.

The point is that the other two weapons besides the Picador are hand cannons, the tilt-a-whirl slam kills one zombie and scores a long knockdown on any zombies you hit while Helena's spinning, and Helena's elbow drop is the fastest kill move in the game. If you're not playing Helena like she's a pro wrestler, you're doing it wrong. Wanderer fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 4, 2013 |

If you're not playing Helena like she's a pro wrestler, you're doing it wrong. Yeah, but that applies to every character. Melee in the morning/evening/suppertime and high explosives when the mobs get too thick. Quick Shot melee when the enemy's packing a melee weapon or is a dog, conventional headshot melee otherwise. Apparently RE5's Mercenaries mixed it up a little? I dunno, never played it. Helena lacks decent ordinance, which at least puts her way behind Leon (the only other character I've used so far). The Hydra is flipping terrible even if I use Quick Shot to reload and the grenade launcher, at least, isn't too hot against zombies. I've only gone through Urban Chaos but it felt like a worse map by far than anything in RE4. You run through the side shops to break the crystals and scoop up the items and then do all your fighting in the central area, since the sides are too cramped to duck into. Also the body-armor zombies at around kill 50 spawn on the opposite drat end of the map every time and make me lose my combo and it is just crazy frustrating.

The Hydra is used to blow out the fat zombies' knees and set them up for the dropkick. The grenade launcher's acid rounds do good area-of-effect damage and score a stun on Bloodshots, which also sets them up for the dropkick. One of the things about RE6's general style is that the big guns like the Lightning Hawk aren't there as a high-damage option for the specialized zombies, because you target weak points on those and can get the job done with pretty much anything, or with grenades. They're there to quickly bring down a distant target in order to keep the combo running, or to get yourself out of a jam. What I like to do on Urban Chaos is drop a couple of the remote bombs up on the top of the stairs and detonate them when the body-armor zombies spawn. If you place one just right, the explosion tags the barrel up there and just sweeps the whole area clean. RE6's general rhythm is just different, and it takes some getting used to, much like the rest of the game.

To be fair, RE6 is absolutely one of those games where, if you get hosed up, it is probably the game's fault. Oh sure just run me over with an unseen train two or three times, thanks bunches Is there much of a point to the slide maneuver? Mostly it just seems to rob me of maneuverability for a few seconds.

For the male characters, it's a better alternative than the shoulder charge, the range for that move sucks. On the other hand, nothing is more satisfying than fly kicking every single thing that moves until your stamina runs out with the female cast.  Except for Ada. She is just a horrible character all around.

Ada was the worst in RE4's Mercenaries too, what's the matter with her this time? Also this is a minor nitpick but her features are a lot less angular in this game, and that bugs me. Makes her look teenaged.

Her handgun takes longer than anyone else's to reload and her alternate gun is the bowgun, aka the most useless weapon in the whole game. Aside from that, her melee attacks also seem to take longer to execute when compared to everyone else's. She is just no Sherry/Helena, really. And I have no idea how Carla plays but I assume it's the same.

Carla packs Helena's pistol and a grenade launcher with about 20 rounds total scattered across all three types, so I'd say she gets the better deal.

It was one of the biggest mercenaries disappointments for me when I booted up the first time with Ada and had the quick shot damage upgrade, thinking I'd be able to one shot tons of zombies with her bowgun. The groan I let out when it didn't one shot zombies was only equal to the groan I made my first time climbing that elevator in Leon's campaign.

But they probably poured more money in and needed more than 5 million copies to recover and make a significant profit on what is supposedly their flagship series. EA said the same thing about Dead Space 3. That game needs to push 5 million copies just to get EA to support a Dead Space 4.

Capcom needs to stop focusing on the shooting and make RE into a beat 'em up game where you punch zombies and do wrestling moves, because ever since RE4 that's where the strength of the series has been. EDIT: Also who the gently caress seriously reads anything written by Sterling? He's worse than Kotaku in terms of anything.

Maybe RE should have just budded off a spin-off franchise. Have Leon do his own action-oriented series where he suplexes zombies, cracks B-movie one-liners, wields a lightsabre grade hunting knife and blows up every vehicle with a femme fatale pal. RE4 was awesome as hell and one of the best of the series in its own demented way. Everyone else can do the survival horror thing where they barely scrape by nightmarish encounters and puzzle out various traps, dilemmas and twisted plots so that we get some new development in the Survival Horror genre beyond just its continued, stasis-like existence through shoehorning in decades old staples from the last millennium's games on to more modern graphic engines.
