Golden Goat posted:We're still melee focused in 5 but it boils down to: shoot knees, uppercut/snap neck. Oh, yeah. RE 6 is practically a brawler more than anything. Guns are just for quick stuns and softening up enemies while you wait for your stamina bar to recharge so you can do more kickass melee moves. A lot of people didn't understand this and hated the game because of it. All of the campaigns have really annoying scripted sections which aren't very fun but the core mechanics themselves are rock solid and the game has the best version of Mercenaries in the series. It's a shame Capcom probably won't go back to it because of how poor the reception for RE 6 was though.

Chris isn't much better (but other soldiers do survive...not his own often), but yeah Leon is a hilarious bad luck magnet. It was one of the downsides I had with the campaign, since there isn't anything ostensibly preventing a potential rescue or at the least it's not Umbrella killing everyone this time.

What part of medieval catacombs beneath Chicago makes sense? As for who was responsible for Neo Umbrella, it's pretty much ???. Clara (that's Clone Ada, right?) orchestrated Neo Umbrella as basically a front organization to frighten people and raise a smokescreen for her activities, but somehow Neo Umbrella has lots of willing soldiers and tanks and fighter jets. Like, the J'Avo clearly maintain a lot more of their rationale and higher-thinking abilities than Ganados, but somehow once they shoot up that sweet monster juice they just crave to kill Chris and company using elaborate tactics. And sometimes they have some sort of political motivation? Like sure, maybe Clara had access to unlimited super-illuminati money and resources or whatever, but it's pretty weird that you have literally no idea who the enemy you fight for 99% of the game is or what their motivations are.

I think RE6's plot is pretty good (silly, but good) except for the introduction of ~*The Family*~ as an antagonistic element that is barely elaborated on or explored outside of the files you get for shooting medals. It's less ambiguity between Neo Umbrella and The Family and more nobody ever thinks to discuss who the hell they're fighting and why.

Jesus christ all of you complaining about framerate problems at least you can get the loving game to work. for some stupid reason the game launches by default in fullscreen 800x600 and I found out you cannot change the settings before the game starts because some loving genius forgot to include an options menu on the actual main menu. So I try and skip the opening cutscene to fix this stupidity. Game crashes. This repeats a couple more times until I basically realise skipping the opening crashes the game always. I have no idea why. finally I just sit through the entire opening cutscene and the game actually doesn't crash and loads in, only now can I access the options menu and change the resolution to an appropriate one. The game crashed on changing the settings. On rebooting it at least remembered my settings but apparently forgot I actually started the loving game and now I can't get back in to try different settings about without having to sit through the entire loving opening again. this is an utterly terrible pc port and I'm probably not buying any future episodes, what a loving disaster. Whose loving ridiculous idea was it to not have the options menu be accessible until you actually manage to get into the game. This is poo poo I need to change beforehand, not after, especially if your game is going to boot into a ridiculously unusable resolution that nobody wants.

Fair point. Until you mentioned VP Evil, or was it the head of the NSC, I had thought that unlike say RE3 there wasn't an active go kill survivors mindset in place. I also figured some people made it out anyway just like the end of (dear god I'm actually using it) AVPR. Anonymous Robot posted:What part of medieval catacombs beneath Chicago makes sense? Hence why I said wacky facilities. But it does fit with whole ancient and mysterious illuminati/Patriots group running things....it's still silly, but it kind of works in the games logic. Either way I meant the parts before the cathedral.

It's less ambiguity between Neo Umbrella and The Family and more nobody ever thinks to discuss who the hell they're fighting and why. That's kind of my take on it. I just loved the scope and how over the top fun it was...but The Family is just dumped in there. Like I said I do appreciate the variety and depth of the script and locations like an airplane (which I know isn't new per se) or a city under a gas attack. It's a mess at times, but more a wonderful mess, then pile of poo poo. That said Neo Umbrella had an aircraft carrier...how do you build and afford that...but I'm willing to Bond villain that plot hole. Better a guy with an aircraft carrier then a rubber dingy.

I bet Hunnigan and Leon have never actually interacted in person because she's smart enough to realize that it is a death sentence.

In the part in the village after getting the chopper parts, once I turn off the siren and escape the bar, where do I run to? I tried the gate to the chopper but I wasn't getting an interact popup, and trying the gate at the top of the hill didn't pan out either. Did I just not stand at the right spot in front of the chopper gate?

Found a cheat engine pointer and tried it out to force change stages and the difficulties. There's a difficulty going to be released in the future called Code Red for Raid Mode. Pretty much every chest has Red discs in it, even on the very first stage of the mode, and there is a minimum of 4 chests. Also every enemy runs at the speed of sound. Hunters & Scagdeads all spawn in with at least a 60% chance of being Elite too. Lunethex fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Mar 4, 2015 |

It's that or they tried so hard it just wound up being silly. Personally I think that if Capcom had done a better job explaing mechanics and controls, the game, while not without its faults, would be held in far higher esteem. I still think it's nuts just how long the game is (in the age of short sp games) and varied in location and play.

re6 has the base combat system and enemies to make one of the greatest shooters ever made due to it's ridiculous depth. the randomized j'avo mutations in mercenaries are a very clever method of changing up encounters with target prioritization and different attack strategies that is wildly squandered on a campaign that does nothing with it and explains nothing about it so it's just no mercy mercs: the game instead
