Woop woop! Update time  Part Seventeen: Starts with Penis I'm not going to edit out anymore gently caress ups from here on out. Figure, might as well put as much effort into the end game as the developers did. And thus we start our descent into madness!

When a buddy and I beat this on co-op the entire game quickly devolved into a mad dash to the first 2-man door so we could scream SHEVA! SHEVA! SHEVA! until the other guy snapped. Good times.

Ugh, that rotating lift sequence is miserable. One of my least favourite parts of the game... and unfortunately, most of my other least favourite parts are also stacked towards the end of the game.

 I was thinking about that segment where we had to carry the lamp through the dark tunnel earlier, and looking at his model I just noticed that Chris has a fuckin' flashlight right on his belt edit: Also, somebody might have mentioned this earlier in the thread when Wesker first came up, but if not you should all know that the canonical reason Chris is so god drat buff is because he went apeshit with strength training in anticipation of his eventual Wesker rematch. He's significantly less beefy in the prequel DLC (wherein he wears his unlockable BSAA outfit) which I think is kind of cool. I have no idea how he became One Punch Man but I am ok with this explanation. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Apr 26, 2016 |

You'd think after the events of Code Veronica that he'd have gone into strength training then. The dude was crazy strong there too.

AradoBalanga posted:I'd say that Code Veronica made Chris begin down that path, as Revelations 1 (set primarily in 2005) has him becoming more muscular compared to his days in Raccoon City, but not as beefy as RE5. Lost in Nightmares (also set in 2005) is definitely what pushed Chris over the edge and made him fully commit to strength training, resulting in what we see in this game. Chris' build in RE5 is basically about 4 years of full commitment to getting stronger because he kept losing to Wesker and a dash of PTSD over Jill's presumed death. Does Revelations 1 take place before RE5? It seems weird right? It's been a while since I've seen that game but I thought like Uruboros was a thing in that game?

Holy poo poo, two Blonde Weskers?? There's a lot of Weskers running around. I bet they went to Costco. Also I love Man Wesker casually sliding in from the left when Sheva has a gun to Woman Wesker's head.

Considering how many Resident Evil bosses you've fought, CJacobs, I'm very surprised that you don't know Rule #1 of Resident Evil bosses: Grab loving everything around the stage before you do anything else.

AradoBalanga posted:Also, if someone can explain how a person's mind can be controlled via a device implanted in their upper torso, that'd be great. The game has you covered, somehow! Jill's file in the unlockables menu posted:Jill, who had reviled bioweapons and devoted her life to eradicating them, was ironically being used to develop the most terrible bioweapon of all. After much research and experimentation, Wesker finally perfected the Uroboros Virus. Jill’s participation in its development meant that she was no longer a suitable test subject. Pure and unadulterated antibodies with high resistance to the virus permeated her body. Wesker decided he would find a suitable use for her elsewhere. During the research into the Progenitor virus, an ancillary chemical was discovered. The researchers referred to it as simply – P30. When administered to test subjects, it would not only give them superhuman strength, but also rendered them highly susceptible to control. So basically the thingy on her chest wasn't actually mind controlling her, it was pumping her full of drugs that weakened her will enough that Wesker could tell her what to do because I guess he's just the Zombie Drug Recipient Master Controller now or something.

Also, holy poo poo they aren't kidding that the mind-control drug metabolizes fast. They pulled that thing off her and 30 seconds later she was good.

 Also, Rebecca Chambers gets a special skin in Wesker Mode in the RE0 remaster wherein she's got one of the P30 thingies on her chest  edit: That game goes pretty nuts with the unlockable costumes, actually. She also gets one that's just a shirt that has a fuckin' picture of her wearing the same outfit she's already wearing but with a bikini top on it and it's god drat stupid and amazing.

Yeah, Rebecca gets SEVEN unlockable costumes in addition to the winners of the t-shirt contest (of which there are like 10), and Billy only gets 2 unlockable costumes in general. Which I'm fine with because gently caress Billy edit: Rebecca got this:  |  on one of the unlockable shirts though which is like fuckin YEAH  This one was also on the roster but it unfortunately did not win.

If that file is correct... Jill was injected with Uroboros and eventually just became immune to it? Is that what I'm getting at?

I was just willing you to bring along that first aid spray at the start there... to no avail. How have I never noticed Wesker's glasses coming off in this fight? I love that he just pulls out another pair, that's fantastic. I think you can beat Wesker in this fight (meaning he's a bit less smug in the cutscene), but it's pretty hard. I can't remember if I've ever actually managed it myself. They were trying for some interesting things in that boss fight, what with the stealth aspects, and an extra enemy in the mix that you can't/don't want to fight back against. They didn't quite pull it off, but it was getting there, I think. As annoying as it can be to play though - mainly thanks to the QTEs of course - I can't help but like this sequence. I'm just a sucker for well-choreographed fight scenes, I guess. Plus... Wesker's just the best character in the game, no contest. It's a shame you don't see much of his scenery-chewing until near the end.

Zain posted:If that file is correct... Jill was injected with Uroboros and eventually just became immune to it? Is that what I'm getting at? Jill for some reason has T-Virus antibodies in her system which, when combined with Uroboros, basically just suppress it. She, personally, is probably effectively immune to it. Extracting those antibodies from her is how Wesker is able to make these Uroboros time bombs he's loving around with. I don't think the game says this anywhere outside of that file so that could have resolved quite a bit of our later confusion, as the audience will see! There's an unlockable file in Revelations 2 (thanks, me, for LPing it!) that says the following: Email from Jill to Barry posted:Hey Barry, So after the events of this game the BSAA are basically testing Jill to see if her antibodies can be used to combat zambambo viruses in large enough quantities.

Basically, we have Carlos to thank for Jill's predicament in RE5, since he went and made the T-Virus vaccine for Jill in RE3.
