make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I made a mistake picking Chris... because I already like Chris' alts. I should have chosen someone's alt I don't like playing with.
Like Jake, Peirs, etc... I should have taken Leon cause I like his alt loadout, but don't like the Long John Silver costume.

Wait so I never really understood the concept of the RE.net website. Anyone want to explain it to me? Are the things you earn via the website strictly accessible through the website only (i.e. will I be able to earn the things through the game itself or do I have to deal with earning points on the website to get the unlockables?). How do you earn RE points? Tickets, what and how the heck do you get those?
Haven't really touched this game on my 360 because I don't have anyone to play with D: But once the PC version rolls around I want to make sure I take advantage of whatever RE.net has to offer.

Playing the game is how you earn RE.net points. There are web medals for the site, that have to do with doing things on the site, but they aren't many, or difficult to obtain (unlock a wallpaper, for example, is one of those) most all points are obtained just through playing the game and fulfilling the in-game requirements.
You have to link you PSN/LIVE account though. The nice thing, iirc, is that it's retroactive. So your points should unlock for stuff you already did when you link your account.
You have to register and link your accounts, then it will track your playtime and give you points based on playing the game. You get a log-in bonus for logging into the website every day continuously, so I usually just log in since I still haven't unlocked everything and points build up.
The ticket is a prize you could get from one of the past contests they ran on the website. You had to kill at least one zombie during the contest to randomly be entered. It was finally redeemable today for me.

What characters can counter kill everything? I thought counter strength was constant among the characters.
Ah okay, that makes sense. I'm not sure why but I had this crazy notion that getting points was more complicated than just simply playing the game :S Thanks for the explanation guys!
Is it probable that we'll be able to link our 360 and PC accounts to the same RE.net account?
It definitely varies. As far as I know, it varies in 2 ways: some characters deal more damage with their counter animation, and their animation can affect whether or not the hit hits the enemy's head.
Chris is the most powerful character when it comes to counters. I'm not completely sure, but I think he can counter kill every enemy in catacombs without hurting them first.

Iiiiiinteresting...
Yeah this is correct. On certain stages enemies seem to have different health as well. Female zombies also seem to have less health than males.
For example, the zombies in urban chaos predominantly do the arm swing melee -
with power counter, everyone holding a 2 handed weapon gets an instant kill, most holding a 1 handed weapon cannot, except with the females.
without power counter, Chris holding a 1 handed only gets kills on the females.
In mining the depths, the zombies do the overhead grab melee -
with power counter, everyone holding a 1 handed weapon gets and instant kill and vice versa.
without power counter, some characters holding a 1 handed also get instant kills (Chris and Ada in particular)

Hm, wondering what I should be doing now that I've gotten all the trophies and have unlocked all the characters in Mercenaries. I guess just getting skill points and unlocking everything?
btw I need more PS3/RE.net friends. add me, playing with randoms really sucks sometimes. PSN ID is darthorcrux

(Aside from more Mercenaries, Agent Hunt, etc)
1) Multiplayer DLC
2) Wait for (Jake?) single-player DLC
First aim for 150 combo on each stage. Then 150 combo on each stage with every character.

Can someone please explain to me why THE FUCK we have inventory spots taken up by item we don't even have?!
Why do I have to cycle through a bunch of empty shit to get to the stuff I actually have?
It is retarded. And I just tanked a really good run because of it. Damn it.

What empty stuff?
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I'm in mercs... I have two things: a first aid spray and a flash grenade. Yet, when I bring up my items I have to cycle through the spaces for: remote bomb, incendiary grenade, frag grenade, etc... all stuff that I don't even have on my character. But the spaces are still there, and I have to cycle through them to get to stuff I actually have.
I think it is just exceedingly retarded.
Is it my fault for fumbling? Yeah okay I fumbled with it in a hectic situation... but wouldn't it just be better to not have that shit in the inventory if I don't actually have it on my character at the time?
They should add all the weapons in the game to the weapons menu... so you have to flip through all the empty places to get to the weapons you actually have. It would make as much sense.

Ah so that's how you mod the game. Isn't it illegal or something? Is it possible to do it on PlayStation 3? Lucky you got the game early, how many day early did you get it?
Fair enough for retro costumes as they are free but for No Hope Difficulty and Agent character, they were already on the disc but made available publicly later by software update. I remember reading news about this was because of "technical difficulty" statement by Capcom. But in your YouTube videos, you was able to play Agent character without any problem. I assume it is complete. Why did they make it available later? What was incomplete about it? I'd say poor standard practice by Capcom. If it not complete then they should not complete it later by software update when parts of it is are on disc.

Ohh I see what you're saying. I never noticed that, but I guess it's maybe to show you how many empty slots you have in your inventory? I can see how that would be annoying though...
I'm not knowledgeable at all about legal stuff but I imagine that many games have a license agreement where it's mentioned you're not allowed to do reverse engineering, but it seems most publishers and developers are okay with people modding their games anyway. Capcom has been positive regarding some modding in the past, so I don't think they mind.
I know there are modded PS3s out there, but I have no idea how feasible it is to mod RE6 there.
I have absolutely no idea why agent or the other content wasn't available right away, or if they were unfinished in any way. From the little I played with them, that content seemed done. I think the only really annoying thing are the DLC stages, because everything points to them being finished by the time the game launched and it seemed just pure greed to keep them away. RE5 had 8 mercs maps, and RE6 shipping with 3 mercs maps was a bad idea. The game could have shipped with 10 mercs maps, and that would have been much better. Might have helped a bit with reviews too.
The day I got the game is the same day I uploaded that costumes video. So 3 days before launch I think.

I'm seeing "Here for events" sessions with so many levels other than Requiem for War...
They probably didn't realize that Unarmed Warrior was over.
I have so much buyers remorse for Chris' EX3.
Shoulda went with Leon or Jake.
Alternate Chris is a great character to use man. I took Sherry EX3, it looks silly but also kind of cute.
Evolved1

Here's my reasoning: alternate Chris' other costumes are already my favorite. I use samurai Chris the most.
So I should have chosen someone who's alternate loadout I like, but whose costume I do not. Like Leon or Jake.
I love Leon's bayonet but really don't like pirate costume. Nor do I like Jake's puffy coat, but would like to use the knife in his kit.
Feels bad man.

Do you guys think we will be getting more DLC in the future? Costumes, characters, story, maps, modes, weapons? I only count the modes and maps as DLC since they charged for them. EX2 and EX3... eh, just a gimmick to get people interested in Re.net... though I wonder if they will add EX4 or other ingame stuff in the future. Possibility for Revelations characters to RE6?

I had my cast taken off yesterday and got a splint for my left hand, so I tried playing some Sherry mercs just now on High Seas. Got a score of 76,720 lol. So bad. I have to say the new camera is seriously messing with my aim.
Edit: Chris on Urban Chaos gave me 103,120. Improvement! Still shitty though lol. I miss the days of 150 combos...
and also I'm extremely rusty

Mercenaries is such a good way to have all or most of the existing characters in each game regardless of if they're chosen to be part of the story. Having Jill or Claire or Barry et al in RE6 mercs would be great. And easy money.

Just played a random duo game on Urban Chaos. I was Leon. Partner was Ada with Power Counter. I always use pharmacist (I REGRET NOTHING!). Anyways, every user that I've encountered that has PC always wants to save the napad for the last kill... which I'm always reluctant to do cause I don't care to get the highest score possible. Mind you, I joined a PFF room... but I was like fine, whatever. I babysat the napad the entire match, and I did a pretty good job. Kept my distance and was doing a few counters... default Leon isnt a very good character for that imo he mostly requires set ups for it, so I mostly kept doing CDGs. We had around 12 minutes on the clock when we reached 149 and we killed it and got 1297746. Could've reached 1.3 if we had bothered getting the time combos though but of course I forgot them. Only got knocked down 2 times by the napad, never got grabbed by a zombie either. Partner and I kept our distance until the end so it didnt get too chaotic. Twas a good experience.

All the maps are out. 3 individual: Rail yard, High seas fortress, Catacombs. Then there's two packs as well. Map pack A: Requiem for War and Liquid Fire. Map pack B: Rooftop and Creature Workshop. They're all pretty cheap. I think someone who looked at the files of the game said there would be a map bundle eventually.
Can't promise anything but I think I still might have a code for the catacombs if you want it (European PS3 code)
That someone would be me. There is indeed a mention of a map bundle, but then again, there's also mentions of individual DLC downloads of Urban Chaos, Steel Beast and Mining the Depths, and mentions of no hope and ada coop DLC. So the list wasn't something Capcom followed to the letter (although the list was right about some stuff, like siege mode dlc and map pack A and B).

I think it'll be a while... I have a feeling this new event, we won't get it done. It's kind of a ridiculous goal. I don't think the average RE6 player on PS3 is going to go through the trouble. It's not like you just have to kill a zombie, you actually have to play that level over and over.

I wasn't denying what you were saying, just interested as I hadn't heard anything about it.
Good lord, 10 million kills. haha.
Seems like people are doing 1 of 2 things. Either play mercenaries (you have to be good at it though. with high combos you'll be getting a ton of 3,000 skill point drops). Or farm a specific level for skill points in the story mode. I don't know which level is best.
Like Sectus said Mercernaries is a good mode. Leon chapter 2 infront of the chapel is a good spot to farm aswell since the enemies infinitely respawn so you can stay there and grind as much as you want. Just make sure you equip increase drop rate to collect more points if doing the leon chapter 2 method.

How do you use commands without the camera panning over to your partner?

Well, if you issue the commands while doing a stunt or sliding I think the camera doesn't move.
By the way, kind of a noob question, but does someone know how to earn tickets in RE-NET for unlocking the ex3 costumes?
I'm already playing the online events, but I don't have earn other thing than RE points.
