No all the playable characters got secretly doped up with the F virus that just makes you immune to mutation and nearly invincible. They wanted to "collect combat data", you see. Just don't let zombies eat too much of you at once. *Eats a fistfull of weed*

I think lorewise 10% of the population is immune to the virus, our friends just happened to be part of this 10%. Or they just did it without getting hit, its kinda like how in Dead Rising the player getting hit or dressing like a monkey is non canon.

I think the canonical answer is that they never get hit unless it is in a cutscene. (Which is why Jill gets infected.) Though Jill is I think ironically now basically immune to fuckin' everything thanks to Wesker.

Yeah, Wesker's Report II mentions that 10% of the general human population is just flat-out immune to the T-Virus due to a genetic lucky streak. In canon terms, the T-Virus doesn't have much in the way of rules and runs entirely on narrative convenience, so everything about it differs wildly from case to case. You might as well just say that it doesn't suit the story for the protagonists to randomly catch it and die, so they don't, except when they do.

Yeah Jill has immunities to the T-Virus (due to Carlos' vaccine), T-Abyss and now pretty much everything else thanks to RE5. Pretty soon she'd be able to match Alice from the movies in overpoweredness. But generally, the protagonists are immune to the various viruses in the game series or somehow only get stronger from them. I also bet Ethan if he returns for Resident Evil 8, will be suplexing invincible cannibal hicks and saying silly one liners and the game will basically be the video game equivalent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 if Resident Evil 7 is the game equivalent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1.

I don't think CV was really any tougher, it was just longer and easier to run out of ammo or healing if you weren't being careful. It did have a few terrible bits like smashing the crystal thing to get the card, I always loving die as least once doing that.

I finished Chris' campaign in RE6. That uh, took a turn at the end there. It straight up became BioShock with Chris and Piers running around the halls of Rapture, Piers injecting the Electro Bolt Plasmid into himself and mutating, and then it played one of the endings from Ever17 for some reason. RE6 is bonkers. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Sep 27, 2016 |

I love RE6 because it's just peak B-movie bullshit and I think that's where Resident Evil is at its best. Leon and Helena fighting her giant, mutated spider-sister in an ancient native american mega-ruin underneath some flyover state, then immediately crashing a plane into china is a high-water mark for me as well. RE7 doesn't really tickle me because it just looks like it takes itself too seriously. The final product could surprise me, so who knows.

I dunno, some of the Baker family stuff in the trailers seems like it's meant to be played for laughs, and the demo had Pete and Andre going back and forth. What really bothers me though is that none of the POV characters we've seen so far have like anything resembling a personality (Not that Chris or Jill in RE1 were super complex characters but still). Does Clancy even say anything other than "AAAGGGHHHHHHHH"? But yeah I like the ridiculous excess of RE6- I'm curious to see how Ada's campaign matches up now. Whatever RE7 does end up being, I hope I enjoy it. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Re:Cv is actually one of the easier Resident Evil games due to the overpoweredness of the knife. Just use it for the beginning of the game and by the time you get to the military training facility, you will probably be swimming with ammunition. Adding to that, if you know when to put up your guns as Claire (I think its right before you use the crank), Chris will have a mountain of ammunition since I he still gets his own set

Beat Claire B! Once again I find myself indebted to savestates, because whose genius idea was it to put the final boss (well technically not the final boss but that train guy hardly counts) a two-minute walk and some inventory management away from the nearest save? And it's not an easy boss either. Is it me, or do all of Claire's weapons kinda suck compared to Leon's (I'm assuming the weapons are tied to characters and not scenarios)? He gets the good ol' one-two punch of shotgun and magnum for crowd control and single target DPS, not to mention upgrades to both which render them horrendously OP, and what does Claire have? The bazooka is powerful, but short ranged, slow, and only hits multiple targets when it feels like doing so. The handgun is just a worse version of Leon's. The crossbow? Ohh boy, three shots in one and good luck hitting two of them. I mean none of them are terrible, but compared to the upgraded shotgun... I'm glad I left the machine gun for her. Do unlocks cross scenarios in RE2? I'd kinda like to jump into Claire A/Leon B, but I really want to strut my new fancy costumes while doing so. E: Oh yeah, and by the way, Ada totally also survives in the Claire B scenario since she arrives to drop you the rocket launcher. Nothing can kill this woman.

I actually prefer Claire's weaponset over Leon's by quite a bit. Leon does have an objectively easier set to handle with very obvious purposes for each weapon, but the relative safety of such a clear-cut and conventional arsenal is just so much less exciting to use compared to Claire's collection of wonderful toys. Besides, who doesn't like pinning crows to the wall with 8-inch bolts, or making a pack of dogs disintegrate with a cluster of high-explosives?Amppelix posted:Do unlocks cross scenarios in RE2?

I think i'm still too much of a resource hog since I was too afraid to use any grenade rounds on anything below miniboss level, and what do you know, had like sixty of the bastards left at the end. I'll probably finally find it in me to actually use them instead of plinking away with the handgun when doing Claire A.

I was searching around for the best way to play RE3 (capcom really capcom'd it up with these PS1 games, there's like five versions of each and they all have some teeny tiny exclusive features), and I found this: http://www.moddb.com/mods/resident-evil-3-restoration-project Did any of you know about this? It's pretty recent, first released in April 2016, and it's only got a thousand downloads according to its page. Seems like it should be pretty much the best version of the game unless they've done some terrible "fixes" that they don't mention in the feature list. It's even got built in X360 controller support!

I thought it was a decent version of the game. I would play it more if the site that I bought it from hadn't poo poo the bed. I need to see if I can find another place that sells it digitally.

If Ada's campaign stayed without the "wedged-in as a compromise" co-op possibility, I honestly wouldn't have batted a loving eyelid outside of an initial "oh, right" on seeing that there was no co-op option. I mean it's Ada for Christ's sake; canonically she's always operated solo (albeit conveniently running into Leon almost every time in the process (and in turn this results in her violating her mission orders at some point, one way or another)), so it makes perfect sense to not have a co-op mode. But of course not everyone who bought RE6 even knew who the gently caress Ada was at the time so complaints and whining about her not having co-op was inevitable All that being said, 'Agent' is a bit of a giggle and still some welcome extra firepower in No Hope, even if he can't open doors or really do anything outside of shoot things and teleport around when Ada makes progress. marshmallow creep posted:I was not aware RE3 ever came out on PC.
