I honestly don't even remember the stealth section, so I'm assuming it was just kill an enemy silently or a few more enemies will spawn and you kill all those dudes. I'm down with those just because either way I look cool getting through the room.

More like you get swarmed with enemies which Ada is NOT equipped to handle. It's pretty easy once you figure out how to do it, though.

Yeah, it's basically incentivized stealth, since Ada drew the short straw on weaponry in her first chapter. Either you one-shot dudes from behind with the crossbow or you end up fighting half a dozen of the armored, crazed J'avo from Chris's game while you don't have the weapons or ammunition to deal with them expediently.

It is satisfying to nail a dude to the wall with her crossbow, though.

Why even bother with the crossbow? You can just walk up and stealth melee kill every single guy in that segment, it's really easy.

On an Ada-related note, a question came to mind the other day.

At what point between Raccoon City and NotSpain did Leon find out that Ada was alive? I just finished RE2 (ClaireA/LeonB), and minus the Rocket Launcher toss at the end, Leon was pretty sure that Ada was dead. Yet, he's not shocked at all when she shows up at Salazar's castle, having more of an "Oh, it's you" sort of reaction.

I know there's a LOT of grey area between Raccoon City and...well, everything that takes place afterwards, but that one stuck out the most to me.

Claire A/Leon B is the official canon scenario order for Resident Evil 2, so Leon found out Ada was alive when she tossed him the rocket launcher as he was fighting the Tyrant. Six years later, he's known she was alive and has heard that she's working with Wesker.

Leon getting a rocket launcher tossed to him by Ada is becoming a recurring theme in terms of determining Resident Evil canon.

I hope RE7 figures out a way to do like 4-6 player co-op so that we get huge setpieces like the assault on the Edonian capitol or when you team up against Ustanak.

Also instead of rotating characters in and out of main games and spinoffs just give me one big game with everyone please.

Doesn't it still need to connect from the PS4? It keeps giving me an "unable to connect" when I try to test the connection. I'll give it a shot from my PC tomorrow either way.

I'm not sure if anyone realized this (I sure didn't) but apparently the enemy level boosts they added to code red stages only appear if you're online. So if you're like me and you want to easily grind those levels for stuff just go online to bring enemies back down to level 95 instead of 105.

Early in the game, did you go back into Chief Mendez's room after the cutscene where he chokes you and goes on about "having the same blood?" Cuz there's a small scene with Ada there, if you missed that it understandably makes the Salazar Castle intro a bit more disjointed IMO.

People who hate RE6 clearly did not play co-op Jake's campaign. It is the most amazing catastrophe. The fight against the BOW where just just kinda wander around and eventually things happen because the game doesn't really tell you where to go. Looking for data chips in a big, dark mountain, shortly followed by a two-player snowmobile escape through narrow passageways where you can collide into each other and ruin everything. Then there's a long stealth section with insta-death failure states that is insanely easy to mess up with two players. Somehow the game then reveals that it actually has competent developers on the team with a legitimately great mansion escape sequence where both players get interesting separate objectives and the action is relatively subdued compared to the entirety of the game. It turns out it was a fluke as you then encounter Ustanak for the third time while an entire city blows up around you. The campaign is topped off in an underwater lava factory where Jake has a whole character arc moment swearing he won't be like his father and will save the world but instead you just fight Ustanak for a fourth (!!!) time and then Sherry and Jake fall in love.

What loops this all around to amazing is the masterstroke they call a credits theme. :golfclap:

My co-op partner and I absolutely could not comprehend what we had experienced and what we were listening to. I highly recommend Jake's campaign to anybody.

I thought Jake and Sherry had legit good chemistry.

Also, here's a picture from an all-Japanese language section of RE.net I stumbled into on accident

That doesn't explain much, since once Leon and Ada meet properly in the game, Leon says something along the lines of, "It's true. You, workin' with Wesker." Which implies that not only has he known she's alive for a while, but he's been hearing rumors about her as well.

Jake and Sherry have good chemistry, for sure. As far as story and character development goes I would rank the campaigns Chris>Jake>Ada>Leon. Even Ada is interested in learning about the truth behind all the events surrounding her, Leon just blunders through poo poo with dual pistols and a twelve-pack of sassafrass while Helena is generally unhelpful and uncommunicative.

As someone who doesn't care about or expect any character development in RE games, Leon's scenario was the only one that made RE6 anywhere close to being worth buying.

I guess I should amend that to "As someone who doesn't care about or expect any character development the plot anymore in RE games, Leon's scenario was the only one that made RE6 anywhere close to being worth buying."
The others were just really boring cover shooters 80% of the time.

Jake doing sick wrestling moves on the Ustanak is the only good thing about RE6.

edit: Well, really Jake doing sick wrestling moves on ANY of the zombie types is the only good thing about RE6.







edit: Do not mistake this for me saying the game is fun to play, by the way. It is by no means fun to MAKE him do sick wrestling moves on zombies, it's just fun to see it happen.

The combat in Leon Mode was the only time I can think of in forever where zombies were actually fun to fight. The creepy loving cloud-spewing thing and the bullfrog zombie were also cool ideas.

The gate "puzzle" in Leon's campaign was such an annoying time waster. Like most of his campaign. I enjoyed the ice blizzard in Jake's campaign funnily enough, but the snowmobile chase is the worst.

I unironically enjoyed that entire sequence actually. Say what you want about the game and dialogue, but they did a great job with the directing and voice acting, and switching up Piers' role for the last boss fight worked well..
