just got RE6 on the Halloween Steam sale for 8 bucks. I'm on the first campaign (Leon) about ready to crash an airliner for the second time, are the rest of the QTEs THIS bad? Because this pile can't even pull off "decent action game", let alone anything else.

Loved RE4, was pretty "meh" on 5, and avoided this game till now because of the flack it got. I am really glad 7 is just ditching everything before it, because they sure as hell need too. Its really odd to me that this series, and Dead Space peaked with leaning towards faster paced gameplay, then shat the bed with co-op action focus. Even Enemy Within had major schizophrenia deciding if you should mow down everything in front of you or hide and sneak around it (with you never really knowing until you got killed)

Someone should compile a tutorial on how to actually play RE6 because the game sure as hell teaches you nothing and the game manual is like one sheet with the most basic controls and doesn't mention anything about the advanced moves you can do. It's a game that's actually got a fair bit of flexibility and depth when the level design cools down on the scripted sequences a bit and lets you try things out and all of that makes RE6 a much more fun game, but the game doesn't teach you anything and as a result people try to play it like RE4 or 5, get frustrated because that doesn't really work and then quit.

It COULD in part be me getting adjusted to the controls, but I enjoyed all the other stories a lot more. Heck, ADA even has a genuinely disturbing boss fight!

Raid Mode suddenly turned into Ammosink Mode with a really odd increase in named and buffed monsters. I'm getting through stages with barely anything left and have to go back and grind easier levels so I can restock my ammo for the next and goddamnit this is taking too long.

Got through Chris's and Jake's campaign and went to Leon's. They really want you to do Leon's stuff first as the 1st 5-10 mins of his campaign are very kid gloves compared to what you do with the others... That or maybe having defense and Melee maxed out makes me feel like juggernaut and just pounding through zombies like they are nothing. It's better then I remembered but it is still a pretty flawed game at times.

I finished Revelations 1! I found it to be OK. Mediocre. The dodge mechanic doesn't really work which is frustrating, the constant swapping between locations and characters is disorienting and the story is nonsense. The bosses are all poo poo (the first and last bosses are like, the two worst bits of the game which is a really distressing thing to gently caress up considering it's supposed to be the first high moment and the finale respectively) and I feel like Rev1's combat only really works with a small number of enemies. When you have that small number of enemies, or a moderate number in a tight space, it works well enough, but when it gets more wider and open with large numbers it kinda breaks down. I still had enough fun though, probably worth the price I paid for it. As in, five pounds. Revelations 2 is better in almost every conceivable way. that's just the main campaign though, Raid Mode is loving awesome and this was the moment I realised that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XMQY7kHOTo raid mode is easily the better half of the game which on the one hand is sort of embarrassing considering it's made out of recycled parts from the campaign where all the effort went but on the other it's fun so who cares. I've never really touched Rev2's Raid Mode so I don't know how it compares to Rev1's.

I don't think the episodic nature of the main game is to blame for Rev 2's Raid mode, more that the design moved to a more Diablo-esque style of game, without any of the procedural or even just randomized content. If you want people to run through the same levels over and over again to fill up bars and make numbers go up that's a solid gameplan, but at the bare minimum you should shake up the enemy spawns a little bit. At best, Rev2 Raid will sometimes surprise you with the particular attributes of an enemy, but even that is often predictable, and you can reliably say "the next enemy will be -some- sort of special" if you've played that stage once or twice.

I still can't get my head around the timing for the dodge/evade/dance move in Revelations. Mashable it may be, but so was the dodge in RE3 (on PC at least) and I was poo poo at getting that right too. As far as Raid goes, it's a superior experience in the first game because it's not so consistently linear with progression; sure the early stages are pretty much just straight-line affairs but then you get stuff like 'Flood' and the like where you end up with huge optional areas to go around in chasing after those medallions. Revelations 2 has none of that, with every stage practically forcing you to kill everything to complete them. I like both, but I find myself playing Raid for longer stretches in the original (unless the game's giving me poo poo with Hunters/Farfarellos and their OHK loving nonsense). Unrelated: For gently caress's sake game you're really out to get me today aren't you. http://i.imgur.com/4CxM3zq.gifv

Me and a friend just played through the first two chapters of Leon's campaign in RE6 (so like, the first three-four hours of the game ish) and initial impressions are ultimately positive, but I can totally understand why the game got a really mixed reception when it first came out. We pretty quickly discovered the joy of kicking enemies and piledriving them until their head exploded, and then later had great fun when we discovered the hilarious sliding dodge move that can be combo'ed into aiming and all that poo poo. It's a surprisingly mechanically dense game and I really enjoyed the level of interactivity everything had, you have all these moves and they can all sort of flow neatly into one another and enemies and the environment react in logical ways to these moves and when it flows nicely, it feels great. But then there's the times where you get grabbed by an enemy you were kicking in the face somehow, or get flying leaped on by a dude you were definitely shooting and I'm really not clear on what constitutes dying? Like, as in I can be on low health and survive a shitload of knockdowns thereafter but then be on like half-health and instantly die from some random flying leap, poo poo isn't making any sense to me at all. Damage taken as well seems pretty loving high which is a bother when enemies sometimes grab you very suddenly through gunfire/being kicked and you instantly lose like 1.5 blocks of health before any mashing QTE even starts. So then health gets low and you sort of enter this losing equilibrium of being knocked down and reviving and knocked down again and this goes on until the game gives up and kills one of you for some unclear reason and then you checkpoint back to full health and things are good again for a while. Fun, but janky. Yeah, it's a resident evil game alright. We'll keep playing and see where it goes, it's enjoyable enough but not without its imperfections.

That was the end of my RE6 co-op experience. Went back to No Mercy Mercs, didn't look back.

Finished the first "Episode" of Revelations 2 today. I'm really enjoying it so far. It really makes me think of Alan Wake of all games, with the emphasis on stunning with the flashlight- and hell at one point in the game we're even running through some kind of logging mill. I was half expecting Barry to start going on about omega 3 fatty acids. The parallel narrative structure seems pretty cool, with playing a section as Claire (Yet another RE begins with her being kidnapped and imprisoned on an island) and Moira, and then revisiting it six months later as Barry and Natalia. I think, at least so far, it balances humor and horror pretty well- better than the RE7 demo at any rate. I'm looking forward to the rest of the game.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Barry is the best thing about Revelations 2. That last boss fight in particular - or, the cutscene leading up to it - was so 80s Action Movie that I felt like crying tears of joy. Moira had some good lines in it too.
