Chris' chapter 2 was a complete mess. Completely useless AI teammates not doing anything and completely useless enemies as well. At one point I was trying to shoot an enemy that was across the street far away with (what I thought) an AI teammate right next to me....turns out it was not a teammate but an enemy that was pretty much right next to me the entire time and never tried to attack me. Also saw some of the enemies spawning right in front of me out of nowhere? WTF? Did they even test this game?
Agreed but it was annoying because the enemies. I couldn't even hear everything. Badass outfit though. Dat ass, of course the crawling is quite prevalent.
They look like...nothing alike.

he looks just like him when his face is all scrunchy. he often has that look since he is often being a self righteous boyscout loser

Yeah, something got lost in the translation. Piers looks like some bitchy WeHo twink in comparison.
Edit: Beat.

Tips for enjoying Chris:
1) Don't use cover unless there are snipers targeting you.
2) You can quick recover from being knocked over by pressing the roll command (downward direction only?)
Ugh, has anyone finished the second chapter of
campaign? I have no clue how to solve
I'm almost half sure that was intentional too.
Ada's
this puzzle with the hanging corpses.

Unless you already know, you can push the thing with the lever to the left and right.
Agreed. So awesome.
C'mon guys! It's Resident Evil! Besides, it's not the first time that ais featured in the game.dinosaur?
No I mean fighting it. I don't have a problem that it's a
dinosaur.
And I already fought it in Leon's campaign so why am I doing this again and from a less enjoyable (IMO) POV.
Chris 1 & 2 should really come right before 3.
You're technically meant to fight it while synced up with another player, is the problem. Leon and Helena shooting at it as well makes the fight go by that much quicker, but solo

Jake's Ch3 is by far my favorite in the game. Loved the Mirror's Edge nod.
lol, I would never have figured that out. The prompt doesn't even appear unless you're standing in the right spot long enough. Gracias.
The Dusk Golem order in the OP works great storywise, and is the order I use myself, but I would caution that starting with Chris is a bit more demanding of a new player mechanically since it throws you headfirst into heated combat situations. I advise taking the time at the start of Chris Chapter 1, when you're in the streets of China amid the fleeing citizens, to really test out the mechanics: try aiming and leaping forward or to the side with the Action button (X/A) and the corresponding direction on the analog stick. I recommend practicing sliding by dashing with the Action button and hitting the Aim button, and try doing the 180 spin while sliding by pulling back on the analog stick. Remember that when enemies knock you down, mashing the Action button makes you roll instantly back to your feet. Note note that when rolling you can stand out of a roll by releasing the aim. And remember that cover is just used against snipers/turrets and to quickly replenish your stamina meter so you can do strong melee attacks. Keep this in mind, and you'll hit the ground running (and sliding)!
Maybe Alex Wesker will turn out to be part of
The Family, the Illumaniti-like organization to which Derek Simmons belongs

That's good advice in my opinion, and also another good piece of advice for people I believe is to test the waters some with Mercenaries to really get a better feel of how the mechanics of the game work. To get there, when it asks you to choose a character, just press B to go to the menu.
Yup, me too. Well second fave after Leon 2, but still.

Completely forgotten / not followed up on.
I am surprised Alex Wesker wasn't addressed in either Revelations or this game. Maybe they felt having another evil Wesker character would be a bit repetitious after having Wesker as the main bad guy for so long.

There's some theories that Alex may have been Alfred and Alexia's father. It does add up, since he was close with Umbrella, his full name was Alexander, and the files in Lost in Nightmares mentions Alex fled to an island with his research, which is what Alexander had done. Lived on an island and separated himself from Umbrella with researchers and experiments.

There are so many plotlines that RE leaves dangling that seem to hint at one thing and then never get addressed. RECV and 3 was leading up to the fall of umbrella which never gets fully addressed until a spinoff rail shooter. RE4 hints at a big Ada vs. Wesker showdown that doesn't happen. RE5 hints at a Tricell showdown. RE4 hints at a new threat and some big things in RE6 that don't happen.

I found it pretty ironic that he "almost killed" Ustanak the same way his father was killed

This works well, I wonder if it is true though

I like this explanation. If Capcom do just drop the plotline, then I'll accept this as my personal canon

I just want him to turn up, completely fine, with no explanation. He's the best part of the series. They can't retire the character until we've had a game where Wesker and Leon exchange delicious, delicious dialogue.

RE5 and 6 prove that the writing staff and translators don't understand delicious RE4-style dialogue.
Maybe Wesker can come back inexplicably fine, and a file buried in some obscure corner of the game will have some nanomachines-grade plot device bullshit about Wesker's brain having a special device that uploads his consciousness into a clone body's brain.
Bullshit!
RE5, especially, had tasty dialogue: "COMPLETE! GLOBAL! SATURATION!"I like this explanation. If Capcom do just drop the plotline, then I'll accept this as my personal canon
The Alex = Alexander thing is pretty much impossible and far too contrived, even for CAPCOM.
I am guessing that the reason it was not covered in Revelations or 6 is because Alex Wesker was written by Tsukasa Takenaka, who wrote neither of those games. While this usually doesn't stop other writers, it's not a stretch to imagine that this particular writer doesn't want anyone else to handle his plot point. Would explain the complete blank regarding TRICELL, although there is a reference to them in Revelations (Jessica and Raymond are two of their agents, they helped make t-Abyss, Excella is the interviewer in Jessica's Report, etc)
He could also just be a DLC intended character.

I personally think that Alex might just be a dropped plot narrative, but that's the only theory I can remember fan-side. Its one flaw of a series that doesn't keep a strong creative vision moving forward or the original creators of said series is that some things contradict or are dropped off in the process. Alex may be revisited in the future or explained, maybe he won't be.
There's still a lot more life in gameplay for me in Resident Evil 6, but I find myself already wondering what direction they'll take for Resident Evil 7. There's so many different directions they could take now its a bit ridiculous, but I'm sure they're going to be thinking about it after the critical reception to RE6.
The series has never actually dropped a narrative unless it was something explicitly never mentioned. They could afford to drop the G-Virus sub-plot because nothing ever explicitly came of it, and they could change the nature and name of the Clay Virus because it was never fully discussed outside of Japanese guidebooks.
Alex is mentioned both in BH5 itself (as "Alex W.") and its Lost In Nightmares DLC. He is also mentioned in Archives II. I'd wait until Takenaka takes the writing helm again before he is ever mentioned again, though.
Plot threads are one thing, but I wish the series wasn't so fond of this trope. Especially considering this game is a sort of all-star game, we could have at least heard about some of the passengers of the bus in this game. But nothing. What's really jarring is that
Though with Rebecca, Billy, and Barry, I think this trope is more appropriate. Sheva being on a bus isn't too surprising considering she isn't very well liked, but again, a mention would have made too much sense.
all the main characters of RE2 are playable in this game, EXCEPT Claire. They could have at least given us a update on her activities. Is she still fighting Bioterrorism? Did she get knocked up and is a housewife? Anything would have been fine.
