I really liked the demo and thought the various campaigns will offer a good amount of variety. I'm unsure if it is really worth a $60 purchase though.

From the menu screen you can move the herbs to your pill case. Red+Green yields more pills than Green or Green+Green. The pill case is what you pull from when you hit right bumper.

I just recently started playing RE5 on the pc. Modding it is pretty fun after playing it stock on the 360 for so long. All of the punches, all of the time.

Where does one find mods for the PC? I might buy the PC version on the steam sale and I need to be assured it won't be the same as the PS3 version if I can help it.

You can do a lot of stuff with the trainer found here: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=13366&st=0

That forum also has other mods and character skins.

Speaking of RE5 on PC, I'm having a bunch of trouble with it, the stupid games for windows live thing refuses to recognize my gamertag even though I can log on just fine from the website, other times it just crashes on start up.

You could try downloading the latest client separately. I think that worked for me when I had issues with a gfwl game. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient

Sorry, I worded it badly. I didn't mean 'his team in RE5', I meant just Jill's alleged death, as compared to his team in RE6.

He is pretty cynical after the Jill thing, but I just meant that it kind of feels like his reaction to Jill - his partner of the last decade - and his reaction to his team should have been.. reversed? I don't know. He goes full-on hulk-out bananas over his team, as opposed to his occasional bouts of cynicism when his ex-captain who betrayed him/archnemesis of the last several years goes over a cliff with his partner and best friend.

The man is an enigma. I won't argue the paternal streak, though, that's a good point.

Since I haven't played the game yet I don't know what his reaction is, but couldn't it be the result of the compounded events of RE5/jill mixed in with some ptsd adding up to be too much for the guy?

The alternate costumes, incidentally, are:

Leon: Full pirate regalia complete with a stuffed raven glued to his right shoulder.
Helena: She's fully dressed, but she looks like a stripper in a cop uniform at the start of her routine.
Chris: A half-naked samurai outfit.
Piers: A car-racing one-piece covered in logos, including Capcom, Biohazard, and the Stagla gas station logo from RE2.
Jake: A big puffy-sleeved jacket and sunglasses, which makes him look kind of like he's standing in the background in a rap video.
Sherry: Her old school uniform from RE2, which doesn't fit anymore.
Ada: A white cheongsam with a white flower in her hair.

Still loving Mercenaries, but I got through the first two chapters of Jake's story and goddamn I hate how stubbornly uncommunicative the game is. It starts with the fact there's no manual, and continues throughout the game. It's like being in a lovely relationship. I know that it wants something, and I'm obviously not doing the right thing, but damned if it's going to tell me what it wants.

I know the printing on the inside of the cover looks like gibberish, and they could have made this stand out more, but it does have a link to the manual. http://www.capcom.com/manuals/re6/

Edit: I read a few pages back and see people complaining about the melee. The context sensitive moves are still there. Shoot someone in the head, arm, or leg, run up to them and melee to get a specialized attack that is usually a one hit Edit 2: I saw someone talking about a lack of ammo and herbs in Chris's campaign compared to Leon's. I've been playing as the second character in all the campaigns and haven't had any trouble with ammo. My RE partner did start to run dry in Chris's final fight, though. I tend to get really miserly with my ammo and go for very precise shots. I just started Chapter 2 as Sherry and I have well over 150 9mm bullets.

That was probably me. After finishing all of the campaigns and going through Chris' again, I'm gonna chalk it up to me getting used to the game and not exploring enough corners for the smashable item boxes. I do wish the game wouldn't drop ammo types that you have the infinite ammo skill equipped for. I'm too used to mashing X to pick up everything without looking at what it is. Infinite shotgun is awesome though.

So I played RE6 a week ago, beat Leon's campaign, but didn't think too much of the game. Didn't hate it, but just wasn't really engaged and never really tried to seek out extra content or beat the other campaigns. But something I thought about the other day bugged me and I wonder if it's actually explained in the game somewhere:

Why the hell is Helena's sister even in the game? I mean, I get that she's a plot device that is useful for the game to progress and motivation for Helena to take you through that under-the-church area. But why is she captured? Why do they experiment on her specifically? Is there a connection or background plot-point that explains why they captured a secret service agent's sister for that purpose when any schmuck off the street would probably do?

They captured both Deborah and Helena. Deborah was used to get Helena to help Simmons gain access to the president.

That at least makes more sense.

It's in the files you unlock by shooting emblems. Simmons used The Family's connections to get a lepotitsa on board that plane because he knew the reports of Leon and Helena's deaths were faked.

The good thing is once you beat the game whenever you start a chapter/new runthrough you have every single weapon you picked up in the course of the first play.

Shame it's random, though. Haven't heard what Sherry has to say yet, though sharing a ride with Jake as Chris was funny.

There is a scene between Six Months Later, China and Six Month Reunion (Sherry). I did the campaign with Jake. I guess I should be playing with Sherry to get that one?

I've completed everything but that one slot is still empty, which is odd, since no other scene in the game is different, no matter which of the two characters are you controlling. :v:

The posturing between Piers and Jake is pretty good.

I was surprised to find Chris is 39 in RE6, dude doesn't look a year past 20. Which is impressive for someone with such a stressful job.

I think Chris looks closer to his age than 20. What I find crazy is that we're expected to believe Piers is 26 and Jake is 20.

Chris's lack of a Magnum makes going through his campaign on Professional pretty drat tedious. The grenade launcher just isn't good enough damage wise or in close quarters.

Patching in an inventory system to let you use any gun on any character and a subchapter select menu would be the best (but probably impossible) thing for them to do for the game.

The campaign is unlocked after the first 3, but currently it is a single player experience aside from story intersections.

It was an off screen death though. With the health regeneration he had going on during that fight I think Capcom could say he washed ashore and was scooped up by the BSAA. I think having an infected protagonist would be a breath of fresh air for the franchise.
