Chris is obviously the dominate. "CAPTAIN! *throws himself at Chris to save him*
And that chapter 5 ending.
So far I'd rank it as:
Leon 1: 4/5 (bullshit QTE's bring it down)
Leon 2: 2/5
Leon 3: 1/5
Leon 4: 4/5
Leon 5: 4/5 (though the

Overall: 2.5/5 If they removed the bits of Tall Oak's underground the campaign for Leon would've been better bullshit QTE's aside.
Chris 1: 2/5
Chris 2: 2/5
Chris 3: 1/5
Chris 4: 3/5
Chris 5: 2/5 (extra point added for

Overall: 1.5/5 Chris' campaign is the weakest campaign (so far) in the Biohazard 4-6 trilogy. Nothing but shootbang and Chris' time in China wasn't interesting and the final underwater bit was stupid as hell besides having Pierce
ending cut-scene after the credits don't make any damn sense either. Chris is redeemed. Yay?
Jake 1: 2/5
Jake 2: 1/5
Jake 3: 3/5
Jake 4: 2/5
Jake 5: 1.5/5
Overall: 1.5/5 Jake's campaign is pretty weak as well but Jake escaping the lab with Sherry in chapter 3 was pretty fun besides the shitty cover and melee mechanics. Jake as a character however isn't too strong and he doesn't rock the sunglasses like his father too well. So he should stop emulating his father's bad-assness since he doesn't have it.
Leon 1 is still the highpoint of the game for me because it's the most like what I want from Biohazard with the exception of the bullshit QTE's that plague it.
Gotta start Ada 1-5 in a little bit. But it seems playing it offline doesn't add the partner that Capcom added with a patch. Yay, playing Biohazard main-series the way it should be: Singleplayer! And naked Ada at the start, fanservice that doesn't give me anything! HOORAH!

I don't get the post-credit cut-scene. He does all this bullshit, saves the girl has a love-story moment with her firing the gun killing their stalker and... doesn't get more than $50 for it due to him having a change of heart? REALLY?

Wow, you're pretty harsh with your scores.
I've played her campaign in single player and I really can't see how the second player could even fit into Ada's scenario gameplay-wise. Ada's campaign is full of stealth sections, puzzles (that were design for single user) or sections where you have to quickly escape something
and even a slight mistake can kill you. Not to mention, Ada spends half of the 5th chapter sitting in a chopper shooting things around and that section is already pretty easy and boring (at least on Normal >_>). Adding a second character that can control another chopper would make it even easier and more boring.

The 2nd chapter was great, 4th one was good. The rest though... ranged from meh to simply bad.

Yeah, I liked those sections too. However, unfortunately, the rest of chapter 3 was pretty boring.
Especially the part where you have to cover Jake and Sherry. I just stood there, shooting enemies from afar and that was it. There was no tension and no danger. Just a shooting gallery that went on for far too long.
I can feel your pain. I was trying to be as stealthy as possible, but nope - I'm spotted and suddenly J'avos from everywhere!

Yep, that part was definitely weak. I think it'll just auto progress if you don't do anything. It's so pointless. It's like, "what was the point?" I did like the RE 2 throwback she says at the start of that part though!
To be fair, I'm pretty vocal in my dislike of Biohazard 6 since the demo. Capcom doesn't explain the mechanics, the mechanics while interesting aren't really adding anything radical (yes, yes, dodge, yes yes, slide... those aren't really needed outside of a few new enemies that have a tad more aggressive AI) and the story is a mish-mash of crap to try to do an ensemble cast. While the ensemble cast idea was neat... it just didn't work.
Ada on the train that passes Leon and Helena was a cool shot, but not really practical. I mean this is the same woman that is trying to avoid Chris and Piers.

I had to restart that part multiple, multiple times, but it is possible to get through the first area (up to the first puzzle room) stealthily. It's just a pain in the ass and not really worth the hassle.

How did I get RE Points when I didn't even register for a team? I thought for this event you had to register a team prior to the start date in order for your statistics to be counted? Granted, I did play Mercenaries during the event time but I only played it because I wanted to not for the event. Anyway, the people in my team are lucky because they made no contribution. Free 10,000 RE Points for nothing.
If you don't make or enter a team, the system will automatically create teams for everybody who aren't in one. So every RE.net user will get into a team regardless.

Did the Requiem event and only got 1.19. Never got Gnezdo to appear which pissed me off. Tried the stage 3 times and failed, got it on the 4th. Killed most enemies with just CDG.

I have the worst luck. For the requiem event I had a 144 combo and while attempting to dodge I instead dropped down to the tunnel with no ladder in sight to get back up. Combo dropped and I ended up with a score of 998 something.

Sectus, I know you are frequent in this topic than Resident Evil 6 PC Version |UnOT| Bros before BOWs topic. I am interested in the PC version to play on a MacBook Pro. I got an answer from Gyrian but I want to know your opinion on this.
My MacBook Pro specs are:
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB & AMD Radeon HD 6750M
I could do this by Boot Camp or through VMware Fusion. What I want to know is my Mac is good enough to run it? Or do I need a PC optimised for gaming?

Bummer dude!
I had a similar experience yesterday night too, but I lost my combo at 98. I lost it in the most dumb way too... I was on top of the building since the huge guy was there, I stun him and was going to melee a J'avo so I wouldn't lose my combo and instead I jump into the huge guy's arm. ;(

The exact same thing has happened to me plenty of times, it sucks =(
Wow, Ada Veteran is pretty hard. Any tips for players not using infinite ammo and going through it first time on Veteran besides "don't get hit, lolz?"
Seems you can stealth the first section but towards the end I get detected and then have infinite (?) enemies coming and mutating and killing me.
Seems you can stealth the first section but towards the end I get detected and then have infinite (?) enemies coming and mutating and killing me.
A general tip for her stealth section is that you can kill enemies without melee and not trigger the alarm.
Use the bowgun and get a headshot. You can do this while popping from cover, too, and it won't even alert nearby enemies (lol).
About the bowgun, also remember that you can quickshot to pin down most enemies to the ground (including mutated J'avo).
You get a free instant reload from the quickshot motion and it gets you breathing room if there are several J'avo in front of you.
I think I'm the wrong person to ask. I have no idea how boot camp works, so I dunno if there's any limitations to that. I know your CPU and RAM is more than good enough. I don't know much about the 6750M so I don't know if that's good enough or not. There's a benchmark you can try to see if it works. Just ignore the framerate in the benchmark and focus on the rank in the end. If you get B, A or S, the game should run fine.
Boot Camp is just running Windows Native, IIRC. Just Apple's nick-name for "dual boot" so it's less scary for the computer inept.
Anyway, Ada 1: 4/5 would've been a 5/5 if it wasn't for that stupid stealth section.
I'm really liking Ada so far, her quick shot is AMAZING. But I can't figure out the
puzzle. WTF is going on in this room?

That took me FOREVER. I'll just say this: the puzzles in this game are VERY simple and you should be checking everywhere and rubbing against everything if you are not getting it, because you are probably missing something.

I figured that puzzle out within the first minute, although I can see why it took people a while. It gives off the impression of being a lot more complicated than it actually is.

OMFG yes. i love all her acrobatic moves but specially the bow qs when someone is to the side or behind.

When I played through the campaign before the co-op patch was out I figured it out within a minute, but then when I replayed it with a friend it took me a while.

Ada's dopplerganger is Simmons and not really Ada so the Ada that dies in Chris' campaign is actually Ada/"Simmons"/Dopplerganger.

Yeah I figured that out pretty quick, they really weren't subtle about it. I think the story would have been more effective if I had found it out the way you did.
That story part was spoiled to me before the game was released, so I knew exactly what was going on with
Ada's death
was constantly switching her clothes? After all, during Chris 4, when you chase her, you see her either in the violet dress or red shirt and leather pants.

It should count. Me and a friend played it co-op and he got the trophy for it.
Edit:
Bought Predator due to the PS+ sale and it's so fucking funny. Too bad it's hard to find games.
Apparently it's glitched, only if you yourself started the chapter on Pro and then joined someone will it count. If you didn't, it won't count.
Better to just host and have someone that has already beaten the game join than join them.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention that.
Let's say you started the campaign playing solo and was playing at Veteran difficulty. Your friend invites you to his game with him playing on Professional difficulty. You'd think that beating the chapter at that difficulty setting would give you credit, but it doesn't (only your friend gets credit) since it'll count as clearing the chapter in Veteran difficulty for you. The only way it will work is if you yourself have that difficulty selected prior to joining someone's game. You'd have to change it to Pro difficulty before you join your friend's game if you want credit for clearing the chapters in pro difficulty.
It's so fucking STUPID.

This worth picking up for $14 on the PS+ sale this week? Were any changes made in the updates to fix issues people had with it when it came out?
Dance Inferno
Unconfirmed Member
I'll say this again, I bought it for $80 day one (I got the Archives edition) and I thought it was worth every penny. The campaign itself will take you around 25 hours to beat and Mercenaries will probably keep you occupied for tens of hours.
There were a few patches that came out to fix issues that people had. The FOV is now adjustable, there's a QTE assist option, and they added optional co-op to a campaign that didn't allow it.

So should I play this game? I'm one of those people who liked the series up until 3, fell out of love with CV over time, hated 4 at first, then realized it was good, hated 5 at first, then kinda liked it ok, and made fun of 6 without actually playing it because I'm a jackass.

First of all I hate you for this.
In all seriousness, this is a game that has some flaws but is generally quite enjoyable...if you look at it as an action game. It's not a horror game (well, it tries but fails), but if you look at it as a third-person shooter you could have a lot of fun with it. It's got its issues (QTEs, "cinematic set pieces" that take away some of your control), but generally I'd say it's pretty fun.
Fine Ham Abounds
Member
Yeah, that's ok, I'm willing to admit when I'm an idiot.
For some reason I forgot this had couch co-op. Think I'm gonna have to get it.
Just in general feel, would you say it's more like 4 or 5?
Dance Inferno
Unconfirmed Member
More like 5 probably, although I never finished RE4 (for shame...). While RE4 emphasized tension over action, both RE5 and RE6 emphasize action over tension. Trying to go back to RE5 or RE4 after getting used to the extreme mobility in RE6 is very difficult though.
Yeah they patched that in.

The million dollar question would be, "it's not as bad as Tomb Raider, right?" but for $15 I'm not likely to complain as long as there's not a lot of hand-holding and the controls are decent.
I never finished 5 and haven't played 4 in years, don't feel bad. I like the sound of "extreme mobility."
Thanks for the replies.

If you are worried about Tomb Raider, you are going to really hate the first 10 minutes (which you have to play before you access the main menu). On the bright side the game never really becomes like that again, even when you revisit that part. Whether you find this game fun depends a lot on how much you dig into the combat mechanics (which to an extent flows into set pieces and such, at least the ones that don't involve vehicles).

Sounds good, this is right where I'd like it price wise so I'm gonna jump on it and find out for myself.
