If it makes you feel better Leon 1 has the worst of that stuff.
Leon Chapter 3 has been the low point of the game for me right now. So boring.
Jake Chapter 3 kinda picks up from there. Haven't completed it yet, probably will do that later.
I really wish people would stop joining my games and trying to skip cutscenes. I have "HERE FOR THE STORY" up there for a REASON, dudes.

Thanks Treb! Redeemed.
Haha, thanks for the calming words. I will take my first run foibles in stride. My friend and I had the hardest time playing Chris 1&2, but I had a blast replaying them solo because I knew exactly what I was in for. I'm loving every moment I'm aiming a gun and splattering heads.

Just finished the game, all four campaigns.
Great overall. Not as good as 4, way better than 5.
And Mercenaries? SO GOOD. The pinnacle, easily.

Just pre-ordered Revelations from WOWHD. They had 20% off this entire month. Under 30 euros for that game. Didn't wanna pay 60 for it since it's just a remastered game but I probably would've. Glad I got it for under 30 though. Can't wait.

Any advice on unlocking the costumes/getting A rank? From dabbling in the stages(got a B on all three), Steel Beast seems best. I'm aiming for Sherry's, which seems like no easy task. She only gets 9MM ammo. 
And are any of the DLC stages worth it?

Steel Beast is actually the hardest of the levels to keep a combo going since there are three different floors you have to search for enemies. I think Mining the Depths is the easiest actually since there's that one large area in the middle where you can just hang out and have enemies come to you.

1) Learn item placements on the map, there are at least 3 green herbs and 1 red on every stage.
2) Depending on the map and your skill as you get more experienced, you will vary your strategy (collect everything first? or collect as you kill?). But a good starting point to learn any map just just collect everything before you start to kill.
3) If you're just aiming to unlock stuff first, don't worry if you've dropped the combo. Just stay alive and kill as many as you can. The score requirement for S rank is actually pretty low.
4) Find the most efficient way to kill each type of creature, preferably with a melee for the time bonus. Zombies can be killed by a lot of characters with just a counter. Javo's are best killed with a coup de grace for a beginner.
5) How to get a coup de grace on Javo: easiest method is a quickshot followed by a slide (or unarmed punch as Jake). A cheaper method is a headshot stun followed by a slide.
6) Not all characters are equal, in general alternate Chris is best against zombies while Jake is best for Javo.
If you're as addicted to mercs as most of us were, the maps are definitely worth it.

I might have spent more hours on Mercs in RE4 GC than the rest of the game, so yeah.
(I didn't play RE5's nearly as much though.)
Thanks for the hints.
Well my Resident Evil 6 odyssey is now complete. Finished up fourth campaign last night.
Man those emblems unlock some CRUCIAL story bits. I did not play Halo 4, but this feels like those terminals that were hidden in that game (though RE6 didn't rely on any books previously).
Story overall is still the weakest but knowing a bit more about why some of the things happened through emblems and the fourth campaign really got me to like it a bit more.
Never had a problem with any of the boss fights (considering how a lot of people on here seemed so worked up about how hard they were). Actually the most annoying enemy in the game for me were those creatures on the carrier that would split into multiple pieces and eventually recombine again. Ugh!
I found just about half of the emblems on my own and figured that was good enough before going to a guide. I feel a little dirty looking them up, but I'm ready to move on from this game...
Except for Mercenaries. I'll be hitting that from time to time. So deliciously good (after never getting invested in previous games).

I can see why some people regard Jake Chapter 3 as the highpoint for the game. But personally the motorcycle chase was stupid as hell given how awful the motorcycle controls. The sequence itself isn't that hard (besides slamming into things given how awful the bike controls) just the controls for the bike and how it handles.
I'm getting really fucking sick of getting hit while trying to get into low-laying cover only to get back up and eat another attack promptly after only to restart the stun-fall-get-up cycle again.

I'm 99% sure that's Jake 4.
If it is it's still stupid as hell. I stopped there and went to Chris 3 to do that, Chris 4, go back to Jack 4 finish up, finish Leon 4-5, Finish Chris, Finish Jake then do Ada's campaign.

Chris easily has the most annoying final battles. Leon's and Jake's are fun.
Ada's is really short. Starts out great, then loses steam real fast, but Chapter 4... well. You'll know when you get there.

Costume 1 is unlocked by getting an A rank on a stage in regular mercs, Costume 2 is just a retexture of those costumes. I think 3 is only through the site
Guys, quick question. I'm trying to get better at Mercenaries and I'm pretty bad, I usually die halfway into a game and have trouble keeping the combo. I'm trying to play online (I had a shitty ISP before and was unable), but usually people either kick me out of their games or disconnect from mine when they see my lousy score.
Question is, should I keep trying to get better playing alone, or should I insist on playing coop with whoever wants to play with me? What's better in the long term?

I play most of my games online co-op, but I will get kicked every now from the lobby. It happens, don't feel too bad about it. Playing solo will make you better though if you want to practice, but I find playing with others more fun.
Gotcha. I guess I'll just have to step up my game then.
One other thing: Are the additional multiplayer modes worth it? They look interesting.
Learn to get better playing solo, all the skills picked up solo are transferable to coop, but not vice versa.
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
Agreed. Playing solo is the way to go. Sure it'll be a little tougher for you, but you'll gain so much experience from it and become better fast. If you keep playing co-op, you'll just learn to rely too much on your partner (saving, time stones, combo stones, not losing combo, etc) and not for yourself. At least that's the way I look at it anyway. I love playing duo, but I learned the way of the Mercs playing solo. Memorize where all the time stones, green/red herbs, and first aid sprays are at on the maps.
I dunno. For me it's not that much fun playing solo, so most games I play are co-op. I only play with one other person though, so it's a little different again. I'm usually the one getting all the time bonuses and if the combo is about to die I quickly try to save it too even if I know there's a partner there somewhere.
I tried to play a solo game recently. I had no problem keeping the combo going until a certain point. Didn't die though, so it's a win to me. So I think playing co-op is the way to go unless you enjoy playing solo.

Aside from it just not being an altogether interesting section, there is actually glitch involving controllers which may be preventing you from moving at full speed. If you can't beat it at all, it could be that. I ran into it for the first time on PC using a PS3 controller with the trigger functions set to L1/R1.

That's pretty decent actually, a 125 combo is nothing to scoff at.
Edit: Nice avatar haha. Sherry EX2 is my favorite character in Mercs.

Why isn't Claire DLC? Heck, why isn't Claire in the game, period. (I know the backstory, but still.)
Heck, why isn't Claire in the game, period. (I know the backstory, but still.)I agree. The end of Chris 3 and beginning of Jake 4 were bad. Graphics during the car chase reminded me of some old arcade games - it was terrible, the streets were empty, background buildings simple and poorly textured. I wonder who thought that this section, lasting so long, was a good idea.
Don't forget the fact that the vehicles "shudder" when you shoot them as if they were somehow physically reacting to your bullets. Or why your vehicle has a boost function...
Plus, driving a motorcycle off a ramp and plummetting hundreds of feet to the street below un-phased. I know suspension of disbelief, but that's garbage.
Super Boy and Girl love story, dude. You can't realistic that.

Yes yes, the vehicle sections are dumb and out of character with the rest of the game, but I actually enjoyed them. Crazy, I know. There's just something so silly about them that makes them enjoyable to me lol.

You don't have to justify why you're enjoying the game, it's a very solid TPS and an enjoyable experience overall. Just wait until you start playing Mercenaries; that's when the addiction begins.
Indeed.
I still think it's funny how those of us who like the game are like "yeah, it's a flawed game with tons of problems but it's a lot of fun nonetheless", while the haters are like "it's a putrid ball of cancer that gave my console herpes."
This hyperbolic tendency is a quality that I can't stand in many of GAF's posters. There never seems to be a middle ground.
Anyway, the game is good and well worth its money. Lots of content, fun gameplay (minus vehicle bullshit and Chris chapter 5 ending) and Mercenaries.
I still have to play the DLC for Resident Evil 5, but I tried out the RE 5 mercenaries after trying out RE 6 mercenaries, and it's really hard to adjust to not having the range of motion now available.
It doesn't make those games unplayable, I was just surprised how much I found myself really loving the combat mechanics in RE 6.
Just slow down the regular walking speed, have the camera options open from launch, and the template is there for some great future games (story not with standing).

I think people take advantage of that grenade glitch kill to get alot of kills in Onslaught to get up to 300%. You know how you can finish someone off and get x amount of seconds if you do it correctly in Mercenaries. Just played with some japanese player and he had 40-50 kills above me every time after 10 mins.
Grr! So frustrating. I only won once. And he had like 50+ wins with almost all characters.

What is this glitch and how do I do it in singleplayer?

Siege is great fun too, I'm surprised at how much fun I'm having with the DLC so many months following the game.
I guess we're done now with RE6 - Capcom have moved onto newer things, right?
The worst is that whole LOL GLAD I DIDNT BUY THIS or some stupid shit like that after seeing a bad screenshot or something. I hate the attitude. I also have to wonder how many people who criticised it even played it or made up their mind about it before even touching it.
Didn't help we had hyperbolic reviews from people like Jim Sterling giving it 3/10 :/
Yes, I'm still seething

Hope not.
Nowadays people have more fun complaining about their entertainment than trying to enjoy themselves.
A little update. I've been playing a lot of Mercenaries this week, and I finally achieved a 150 combo (duo though) in Urban Chaos for 1080k. My solo highest score is 126 combo, 466k. I'm still aiming for the solo 150... I'm slowly getting there.
I've been playing some of the other MP modes, and while they're a lot of fun (Siege and Predator are pretty great) I find myself going back to Mercenaries, which I feel is the only mode where practice makes perfect and where I feel like getting better.
I'm also playing Demon's Souls which I got from PS+, and it makes me laugh how a lot of complaints people had about RE6 are present and are a lot more blatant, yet that game got critical acclaim. I know the games are nothing alike, but it's funny.

Can anyone recall an instance where Capcom said there would be a single player DLC or at least something meaningful far into the future?
I mean at the end of the day the game didn't sell that bad, so I don't see it outside of the realm of possibility, but I would like to know if I'm basing my feelings on more than some months old speculation.

I get the feeling Capcom is going to release a Mercs-only game with a bunch of characters and stages from across the RE timeline. I recall a Capcom spokesperson hinting at something like this a few months ago.
