I think Raid is pretty fun after the first gauntlet. I wish it were easier to grind levels with characters you haven't used, though. Doing the whole first gauntlet over again sucks, especially since all the enemy spawn points are pre-determined.

GiantBomb did a Quicklook and the guy got lost in the first two minutes, even though he had already beaten it once. :wtf:

EDIT: Now he's trying to make Moira crawl through a vent.

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
So Revelations 2:

I appreciate the fact that the support characters have unique roles but I find the switching back and forth between characters very disorienting especially in combat. The AI didn't seem to be particularly aggressive when it comes to blinding and bricking enemies. I didn't even realize Natalie can spot enemy weaknesses because the AI didn't do it at all.

I'd imagine the campaign would be interesting in Co-op but I doubt the support characters are very interesting to play as. I do like wrecking zombies with Moira's crowbar but unless she gets hanzo steel or some other form of cranium crushing weapons, it does get a bit stale.

I absolutely lost it when they hit the commands for 'yippee ki-yay' and 'lunatic thumbs up'. Does every character have goofy spaz out options?

they're customizable, any character can have any goofy emote, and a lot of them are from lost planet 2, the gold standard in goofy emotes. it is a Good Addition To The Gameplay Experience

Seems like you keep your weapons when restarting the game (even if it's a difficulty you haven't beaten) which is very silly. Is there any way of avoiding this without deleting my files?

EDIT: I've used XPadder to assign keyboard keys to a PS2 controller. Using that and my XBOX360 controller me and my friend should be able to play single player coop. We won't be able to play as two characters at the same time, but we can switch to our respective character at appropriate times. My friend isn't much of a gamer so he will let me handle the fights and he'll do the exploring. It's going to be an interesting experience at the very least!

That's an option in Displays, alongside crosshair/laser color and some other campaign stuff

We're talking about the guy who unlocked 8 player AI/human Mercs in RE6. I'm sure he'll be able to release it soon. (Also, a lot of nude mods. :gonk:)

I want to say I like Raid mode more in this game, but then I end up feeling like there is something missing from it. Oh wait, online co-op play is missing. Anyway, I find playing as Wasker... Whisker... Wesker, really satisfying. Mostly cause his dodging abilities feel really overpowered.

The new patch made the game less playable for those that already had problems. I'm about to boot it up to see if that's the case for me.

Already confirmed that you still have to play raid mode with your internet off.

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention this. The last mission in the first throwback gauntlet has an enemy from episode 2 so avoid that if you don't want spoilers.

Dead Space had that sort of monster too and it was one of the most unnerving to fight, even in a game built around cutting up undead monsters.

lol! No i mean she looks like she just came out of a meth binge, with the grey skin tone, dark bags under the eyes, dirty and bruised. For her sake, I hope this is at least midway through the episode.

When I replay the episode I start with the weapons and items I had when I beat it last time. So I usually start off with less ammo as Barry, and I start with both guns as Claire.
It kind of sucks. Does anyone know how you can fix this?

Also, the mouse pointer shows up for every cutscene which is annoying, and I haven't found a way to remove it. Any suggestions?

Well considering other RE games consist of finding keys meticulously crafted for specific doors in a gigantic mansion, knife-fighting a half zombie special forces dude, punching a boulder, and flying a jet plane into a skyscraper, I'm not so sure that past RE games are a very good measure of what's gonna be in future RE games.

Anyways Revelations 2 is a good game. It plays super smooth, and the part in the Barry half where you're in the woods and dudes are like falling out of the tree branches was kinda sweet.

What the gently caress is up with the 'storage space' DLC, there's literally no purpose to it beyond just inconveniencing people until they cough up some cash :mad:

Also having an ingame store where you can purchase guns for real money feels really shady. I don't care about having DLC guns but at least sell them outside of the game so I can just ignore them.
