Capcom dot net has leaderboards and crap. Furthermore, its powered by Azure cloud solutions the cloud network used by un cup holded ganers everywhere

You connect to people at certain parts of the game and play with them. In mission 7 I actually fought next to a player V but aside from that it has just been someone else in the same general area but not fighting side by side with you

Yeah RE6 connects you with other players if they’re doing a different campaign in the boss fights where they overlap, even if you’re playing solo. It only successfully connected me once in my playthrough though

I feel like more enemies are introduced in the first few chapters of 5 than you see all game in 4 . These bosses kick rear end too

You could just ya know spend like 300 dollars on one of those "PrO-GaMer" Scuff controllers.

Or just be cool and pick V every time instead of Nero

Nero makes my hand hurt a little bit V is the character that made me really glad you can remap controls per-character. The bird's hold-to-charge move is really good but you also want to be tapping to attack with Shadow, so i remapped shoot to a trigger button and it works a lot better

Bloody Palace is coming as a free update April 1st. Also from some stuff people found in the code it looks like we'll get playable Vergil too, someone already managed to mod in a way to play as him with a unique move set etc

yeah I've been getting weird joint pains in my fingers and I'm finding V a bit too much to play. I feel like you need to hold every button all the time. I don't really get his mechanics, it feels very button mashy - it's cool but I feel like I'm missing out on some depth/trick

You and I probably both are but at the end of the day I think just doesn't have the insane depth of options that Nero or Dante does . There's a reason you're only required to play as him for like 3 or 4 levels out of 20 probably

that's cool, it's a nice change of pace then. I've just done his first couple of levels and I was worried I was going to get bored with his levels if they were an equal share

also lol at all the people making fun of him for reading bad/emo poetry when it's william blake

yeah weirdly enough the optimal strat for V seems to be just putting yourself way way back and holding RT for a couple secs to get the book out (once he has it out you can let go of the trigger) so you build DT then spending it on LT autoattacks or nightmare, seems to get me guaranteed S+ in every fight if i dont get hit (the backdash with the bird has ridiculous invincibility and low startup/recovery)

Lmao are people really? Iirc he literally quotes the opening of “Auguries of Innocence” at one point, which I thought like everyone knew?

What a bunch of philistines holy poo poo.

Blake owns, and V quoting Blake is 100% why V is Best Boy.

They quoted “Auguries of Innocence” in the loving Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie and I’m pretty sure they even mentioned it was Blake in that movie. It’s not an obscure poem that only people with English degrees have ever heard before.

V’s Blake quotes are the actual best and that’s a hill I’ll die on.
