I picked up ORC a few days ago, haven't really gotten started on it yet. It was mainly an impulse buy because, hey, new Resident Evil title, why not? Then I started poking around and finding that it hasn't had the warmest reception. But still, seeing people've been having fun with it in here has bolstered my resolve to give it a shot. I'm up for some Campaign, though as I said, I haven't played at all yet, so just a heads up when I start dying a lot/making stupid mistakes. GT: Lone Wolf 047

Just tried shooting you an invite, says it couldn't do it 'cause your friends list is full. Edit: Oh yeah, and it really is pretty fun if you've got at least one other person running around there with you. Also, Nikolai is a dick.

Gonna be unavailable for a few days. Account was compromised and the Microsoft Points I was saving for upcoming DLC were stolen. Account's on lockdown until Microsoft tracks the dipshit down and refunds my points.

I just got done playing through the third DLC mission for ORC solo, and that final battle against Nemesis gets pretty crazy during the third phase, with all the zombies coming out of nowhere. Having to deal with three Artificially Stupid teammates does not help (on more than one occasion, I watched as Shona walked right into the path of a rocket, got up... then walked right into the path of the next shot). And for added masochism, this was the stage I decided to go for the "Who Needs Guns?" achievement on.  Still, it was pretty satisfying at the end when I was all alone, Nemesis lured into the position I needed him in, all my teammates dead, crimson heads swarming me while I'm frantically trying to keep them off me with just the knife... and then the cutscene indicating the stage was over played.  Also, playing Recon against the computer is kind of fun when you've got Active Camouflage as your active ability; nothing quite like running across an entrenched squad of U.S.S., popping the cloak, walking around behind them, then knifing them all to death.

Fraction posted:Does anyone have the Echo Six DLC for RE: ORC? I got my rear end solidly handed to me on the first mission, so I'd like to see if playing with another human would work better than playing with idiotic AI. Yeah, I've got it on 360. Gamertag Lone Wolf 047.

I'm interested in this. I haven't finished the game itself (either campaign) mainly due to the fact that I'd rather not try and slog through it by myself. Don't have many guns unlocked, but I do have all the characters' skills unlocked and upgraded to maximum (on a related note, I know the first level of the Umbrella campaign like the back of my hand now).

ApexAftermath posted:I have to say I had one of the funniest "stupid AI" moments ever with this game. It was towards the start of the game and there is this short staircase with 2 laser trip mines on the wall as you go up. I was stopping to shoot the mines and my AI teammate just runs right ahead and blows himself up on the first one, gets up, and proceeds to run right into the second one. I had something like that happen on that map in the Spec Ops campaign. AI partner ran right into the mine, got blown up, stood up, ran right into the next mine. The best part of this? It was the team's demolitions specialist. Apparently the fastest way to disarm them is to set them off.

Crowetron posted:You get to visit Willie B's lab and...not much else. I think you hit up the RPD briefly at one point, but it's been a while. I mostly remember the Nemesis fight being the most disappointing thing in the whole goddamn game. It was also in a completely nondescript warehouse. The Wolf Pack's fight with Nemesis wasn't all that great, especially if you're stuck trying to solo it. On the other hand, the Echo Six DLC campaign's third chapter ends with a fight against him that involves basically recreating the end of Terminator 2 to finally kill the son of a bitch while also fending off waves of zombies. Soloing that fight with 3 AI partners was hell, but goddamn was it satisfying when it was over.  Especially given that was the chapter I decided to try for the "Only use the Knife" achievement on.

poptart_fairy posted:The American version of that fight (or whatever the hell that not-Umbrella was called) was pretty cool, mind. On harder difficulties it actually gave some sort of nudge towards how loving strong the Nemesis would be when supported by infantry. Just looked it up; the non-Umbrella spec ops team's name is Echo Six.

Len posted:That's what makes ORC so much fun. The group is so comically bad at their job and it's confusing because the main characters are seldom gently caress ups of that caliber. Then you realize you work for Umbrella and it all falls into place. Wolf Pack was plenty good at their job. It's just that all of the important people they had to kill over the course of the game had plot armor because this was set around the time frame of Resident Evil 2/3. Arguably, most of the problems with Wolf Pack's mission going pear-shaped was because the guy barking orders at them was an rear end in a top hat who kept blaming them for poo poo they had no control over to begin with, yelling at them to fix it, and then stabbing them in the back when they couldn't (again, usually because the target in question had plot armor).

Barudak posted:If you haven't had the joy of playing Dino Crisis 1/2 the plot is about a million times crazier. For example, the reason dinosaurs are back is because the new energy technology invented in the Dino Crisis universe works by traveling back in time to steal energy from the past so when it breaks down dinosaurs come pouring out the reactor. Aorist rods?

To this day, the only Resident Evil games I've ever completed are 3 and 5. I've played 2 up to the Police Station, farted around at the beginning of Code Veronica X (never went past the first save room), and played most of the campaign and DLC campaign for Operation Raccoon City. The thing I'm most proud of through all of that? Taking down Nemesis solo in Operation Raccoon City's DLC mission where it's just you, him, and a swarm of zombies all over your rear end while you try and dump a bunch of molten steel on his head. Without using any weapons besides a goddamn knife. I picked the worst stage to go for that achievement on, but it was loving exhilarating when I finally put that bastard down for the count, especially given what I remember of playing through 3. Nemesis is the best.

They need to have a themed concession stand called "Jill's Sandwiches" nearby.

Full Battle Rattle posted:Really it's just a hilarious misunderstanding of american culture and institutions. Like Raccoon city having it's own dedicated SWAT team. Of Course, it seemed like raccoon city got progressively bigger from 1 to 3. I have the Versus Books strategy guide for RE3, and one of the sidebars in there has the author going through the process of trying to figure out where the hell in the U.S. Raccoon City is supposed to be. After combing through tons of RE2 and 3 screenshots, he finally manages to find one that has a sign with an actual area code. Looking it up, it was an area code for New York City.

The DLC campaign's Nemesis fight was much better than the Wolfpack Nemesis fight, if only because it's actually possible to solo that one. ... Still can't believe I got through that using only the knife, though.

Neo Rasa posted:I think the problem is Raccoon City is located in the "midwest." If it was a not so far out there or say in a major city on the east coast it would actually be plausible to have weird sewer entrances, labs build in gutted old mansions, etc. The old police station near where I grew up was very similar to the one in RE2 because the building used to be a school that was build in 1920. Doctor's office is just some dude's Victorian home, all kinds of buildings with weird shared basements and utilities and rooms built on top of each other, it's not unusual at all, just weird for a middle of nowhere suburb with a population of 100,000 people. Further evidence that Raccoon City is actually smack dab in the middle of New York City.

I still think this post from Crowetron neatly summarizes why Nemesis and RE3 are the best.
