Does anything change on the second play-through / can you retain skills?

You don't have a choice in the matter. You retain all skills, weapons, items, upgrades AND ammo. So have fun if you wasted all your ammo as Barry. And since Claire/Moira start out with their weapons and flashlight the knife and flashlight are gone from the table. The guard's key is also on the ground so you don't have to locate and shoot it.

So I just saw some data mined Revelations 2 video where a character was using a legit japanese sword as melee weapon, leaving me just a little bit excited.

I hope there's an upcoming patch to unfuck the latest PC patch because I just decided to replay Claire's chapter to look around for collectibles and poo poo and after playing it under the highest settings with zero lag on the first go around, I now get lag in areas even with settings near their minimum and online raid mode is still borked.

I'm having fun with it but I can't believe this is so unoptimized.

E-Mail from Piers to Claire posted:

Dear Claire,

On behalf of our unit, I just wanted to say it was real nice to get to see you the other day. Thank you for taking the time to talk with everyone. The guys really appreciated it.

I know you were surprised by the men's reaction upon first seeing you. Let me explain. When we heard that Terra Save would be arriving on location, well, the men knew that you'd be coming and so they got a bit excited over the idea. They'd only heard stories about you, and since you're the Captain's sister, well...let's just say they were expecting someone more along the lines of his build. I tried to tell them otherwise, but their imaginations got the best of them.

So then when you arrived...well, aside from not being what they expected, we don't get to interact with a lot of pretty women in our line of work, so that's why they had the reaction that they did. Then they had to remember that you're the Captain's sister, and it made them all awkward... I'm sorry about that, ma'am.

You probably saw it for yourself, but we all have a lot of admiration and respect for the captain. In addition to being a very capable leader, he treats us like family. He's an inspiration to us all.

Speaking for the men, we're all looking forward to the chance to work with you again. Our paths may not cross often, and I know you're busy, but it'd be nice to talk every now and then, even through email. Just between you and me, if you have any pictures of the Captain when he was younger, I'd sure love to see them! I hear he was very different back then, but he won't show us anything...

There's a lot more I'd like to say, but it's time to get ready for our next posting. These missions aren't easy, but it's nice to know we've got allies such as your organization backing us up. Keep fighting the good fight.

So far I'm not super impressed with Wesker in the raid mode. He only gets 2 guns until 45, his passives unlock path sucks for quite a while, he's super limited on non-inhereted active actions, and he has the single best passive skill in the game to compensate for all of this. His melee is nice and quick, but also has the shortest recovery time of all the characters so he really doesn't *need* the dodge canceling the way the others need it. Right now I'll get him to level 20 and inherit his dodge canceling out and then I'm basically done with him.

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm quite liking Hunk and Clair in Mercenaries. Hunk is just an unending hail of bullets thanks to early access to scavenger and 4 guns by default (as well as the best grounded enemy finisher in the mode) and Clair gets a really useful Halo style shield at 18 that she can inherit out to others.

And then there's Gina, who spaz-dances zombies to death, which is quite possibly the greatest skill to hit a Resident Evil post game mode in quite a while.

And scavenger is great. The average map is ~40 enemies. At 40%, that's ~16 magnum rounds back, equal to 2.5 extra pickups.
If it's anything like Rev1's raid mode, you can also just load up a very early map, and either melee / pistol through the easy enemies to save yourself money loading up heavy weapons later. :toot: And on the ammo topic, just one time I'd like to see a RE protagonist start with more than one spare magazine. :argh: Come on Barry, you know about all the horrid BOW's, and even if you were shooting dudes, you'd bring at least one reload for that big honkin' magnum!

I can't unsee how whenever he does his stun melee animation that his hand isn't modelled for a punch. He's just jabbing his 'I'm holding a gun' hand at the enemy and knocking them over.

Which is really loving weird considering his hand was modeled correctly for those animations in RE5.

Speaking of, I dug out my copy of it and got everything redownloaded on my PS3. My old save was lost but I can still do Mercenaries reunion for now. I may try and pull some goons together tomorrow to play.

Speaking of RE5 comparisons: I can't help but think that RE5 looked better than this, even while factoring that I'm playing Revelations on a PS4. I can't fault it on that front too bad considering it's a sequel to what started as a DS game, and it's budget priced.

I – and many others – have had the exact same problem as you, so at least take comfort in the fact that it's nothing on your end. I think it's an error with the pre-order – if you look at your downloads the pack is probably still listed as an item that is waiting to be unlocked rather than a download. Hopefully it gets fixed when chapter 2 comes out.

Five medals on raid levels. I'm more excited for the next episode for the new levels than any story.

Also, dodge canceling feels so wrong but at the same time it's saved my arse a ton of times when it comes to reloads and the like. I feel dirty using it. :saddowns:

Feed dodge cancel to Gina and laugh as she spasticly dance cancels to victory.

Bonus points if you also feed her Clair's shield skill so she can take an errant punch or two in melee every now and then.

it's not 90 total medals, it's 90 completion (win, at or under par level, no healing, kill everything in one run) medals, which is impossible at the moment. there just aren't enough levels.

also, did you know that other character's completion medals don't count? i found that out after like two hours of replaying gauntlets

So even with having over 450 medals I stil can't unlock the guy? Hmm, I guess they are something only available from the full game then. Sad, but oh well.

Really so all that effort trying out HUNK is kinda in vain. I've been maining Whiskers currently cause I'm a douche.

The dodge cancel skill gives more invincibility frames and moves the character further, right? Not sure I've understood the math correctly on that one.

Capcom being clear on a gameplay mechanic? No, they would never do that.

The dodge cancel with the skill that makes you able to link dodges together faster would be pretty bullshit with gesticulation (Aka the best skill ever.)
I really hope there is a twerk or something as dumb looking gesture later on that will make kill people gestures the best thing ever.
