RESIDENT EVIL 6 |OT| No Trope Left
- Thread starter Nemesis_
- Start date
This is one RE game where I'll wait till it gets put on sale before picking it up. I'm not too surprised at the review scores to be fully honest, after RE4 I knew the series could only go downhill. The first time I ever finished Resident Evil 4, I said to myself there's no way Capcom could ever top this game. That game is a masterclass in game design. And I was right. That game really surprised me and the pacing together with the atmosphere were perfect. Capcom are not going to be able to surprise people again

Ha. I added you.
Ok the final boss in Chris's campaign is really really bad,
mhe
Btw Jake's last chapter was freakin awesome <3
i did the first part of the fight ONLY using the knife, no damage whatsoever, the boss can't hit you if you're under it and in five minutes i took him down
then the second form, with no fuckin ammo available, i have like a couple of granades, few ammos for the gun and the shotgun and that's it, it took like 40 minutes to reach the third regeneration then i got killed like an idiot, i think i'll try again tonight but with a human partner or i'll just use Piers so that i won't need to worry about ammos
And FUCK, i liked Piers, i'm expecting drama in the ending

I have a code for High Seas on xbox 360 which is unused. I was planning on giving it to a friend, but all my friends have it already apparently.
I can give it away to the first one who answers this very important bit of Resident Evil lore: what is the colour of Ada's (costume 1) panties?
Just make sure you're on the xbox, and you don't actually have the map.

Man, I really enjoyed the final boss in Chris's campaign. I kind of screwed myself and made it there with very limited ammo and no healing items.
So I had about 12 grenade rounds and a few pistol magazines along with my knife and stun grenades. After dying twice and thinking it was impossible, I went for one last shot.
The intensity of hiding, taking shots when I could, stunning him and going in for a knife attack while managing my partner (he did the heavy lifting as an attacker). It was surprisingly satisfying. Had an absolute blast taking him out this way and killed him in like 6-7 minutes. Once you get his pattern down taking him out with the knife is a piece of cake. I COULD see this becoming very frustrating for a lot of people, though, but it reminded me of playing Dark Souls or an old NES game in which you have no margin for error.

It should also be mentioned that this only applies to PAL region games as these codes don't work unless the code is entered on a console of the same region. Very kind of you, regardless.

The preorder maps should have been something that you can unlock like... for 120k each on RE.net.
That would still be an incentive for preorders because 120k on RE.net is quite a lot. multiply it by 3.

That might not be the case. I sent PAL codes to an American friend some days ago, and those worked fine.

Oh? Yai, then that makes me tempted to try for it but I think I'll leave it for someone else as I've had plenty of good fortune lately
and I have no idea what color underwear Ada wears.
It's strange though, I have a recollection about these codes being region specific but it is true I don't know that for a fact.
I hope they fill out the store a bit more on RE.net. Currently it's full of useless shite aside from character skin color variations. Even that isn't really good enough.

I'd be more interested in Western sales numbers, since the game reviewed well in Japan if I'm not mistaken. Should be interesting to see how it did though.

Fuck me what could have been...if this game was just built around Leon and zombies with the occasional B.O.W it would be great. The J'Avo are fucking awful.

That's a lot for RE in Japan.
Just accept you're in the minority and move on.
One thing I noticed from the half hour I played was the obvious damage and noticeable reactions of the zombies to my attacks. Which is the opposite of what certain reviews led me to believe would be the case.
sure thanks :3

I know when I make these claims I seem like a fanboy, but most of the reviews about this game are just flat out wrong, not in the score they give or how much fun the reviewer had, but in the blatant misinformation that they present about the game. Saying that enemies don't react, or that combat is boring and unwieldy, or that the graphics are subpar (with the exception of certain low-res textures, the game is gorgeous). It's the main reason I've started going into GAF OTs to see what the GAF consensus is, since people here are generally more reasonable than reviewers.
Most of it is. It gets a little more bombastic towards the end but it has a different feel than the other two campaigns.

So, is there a consensus what's the "right"/better way to play it?
Chronologically or one character by the time?
Finished Leon chapter 1 yesterday and just saw the time line list in the OP... not sure how to approach this now...

I played it chronologically via Dusk Golem's order, and honestly I highly recommend playing it that way. The storytelling is much more engaging as you get to see the story escalate and climax from three different perspectives, and it's fun trying to piece things together as you go. Plus you never get bored of one campaign since you're constantly switching characters and play styles.
Thank you for this tip btw. I used it yesterday during Mercs and it is a godsend. It makes the roadie run much more effective and useful than the one in Gears.

A lot of the OT recommends chronological order... I however really enjoyed Leon->Chris->Jake->Final
The story builds upon itself. And you don't have to do the same boss fights over again back to back. And I feel like it was intended to be played this way, stepwise... that it's a neat stroytelling thing they tried to do that might be harder to appreciate from chrono order.
But at the end of the day, there's really no right way. People seem to be enjoying it in whatever order...
It almost turns too fast... like comically fast.

Thanks, I guess I will play Chris 1 and Jake 1 next and then make a decision.
Next question: Is this game enjoyable with randoms? Played with a fellow GAFfer last night but as I'm reading through the last pages I'm kinda LTTP when it comes to the campaign and it's probably hard to organize coop for me (no other friends are playing it).

Personally I played it offline solo since I wanted to walk around sometimes, soak in the scenery and the story, etc... When playing with others they'll probably just make a beeline for the objective and you'll hardly have enough time to figure out what's going on.
I'm playing the super-secret fourth campaign now and whenever my story intersects with someone else it ends up being a rush to see who can get to the objective first. It wouldn't be fun if it was my first time playing through that level lol.

I'm glad you're finding it useful. I don't know what I was trying to do whem I discovered it lol, but is really nice for getting the time bonus. I can get them way faster than before.

Thats why playing campaign mode in (any) game with randoms suck. Randoms are only good for Mercenaries.
I'm playing it with a friend and we are having a blast. Taking it slow, only running when necessary, finding the emblems, trying to only use handguns, playing it on professional... Even thad damn (Leon Chapter 2)

RE6 might have received the most factually wrong bandwagoning in the history of games/GAF journalism.
Hit detection/enemy reaction not only exists, but is better and more realistic than that of any previous RE. QTEs are nowhere near as prevalent as I was led to believe. Melee/stomping is not broken - you simply have to aim. The list goes on.

So I'm about halfway through Leon's campaign and after letting my impressions settle down I'm finding that I enjoy this game quite a bit. Reviews are like assholes, of course, but I'd rate it a solid 7 so far. It's certainly not a 4 or 5 game so all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over it puzzles me. Really the only thing I find it lacking from RE5 is polish, otherwise I like it more.
This game is really great, I just hope they don't think we like it beucase we're westerns so give them more QTE durrr
Please capcpom no more driving and no more QTE. Keep the awesome gameplay.
You can see how fucked up this gen's perception of what a good game is when people claim that a gameplay they do not understand is broken and give 10 to the gameplay that does not register diagonals (IGN Uncharted 3 review).
If the low scores are only because of QTE and stuff like that (and they DO suck), I'll be ok with it as long as they continue to bash other games that feature those things.

Lol good luck with that...
That's why you only tap it when you're trying to turn. If you use it wrong you'll end up running into a wall, which will stop your sprint cold. So you have to be careful when you use it. I used it to sprint up and down the stairs in Steel Beast, those 90 degree angles ain't got nothin' on that LB sprint.
Bingo.
Yeah right, you know they won't.
Does anyone know any good podcasts talking about RE6? So far I've listened to the Invisible Walls one, the Gamespot one (I think it's called Spoilercast) and Co-optimus.
I find the divisiveness of this game really interesting and I'm looking for good discussions, in podcast form.

There's the 8-4 play one that had cvxfreak on it, but I think he only finished the Leon campaign when they recorded it.
Also I may be the only person who really enjoyed all of RE6's vehicle sequences. :/
