[PS3] Anyone want to be Helena to my Leon? For some reason no one will join my session and I refuse to play with the A.I.

 

[reallyfull]

And you picked 2 day shipping? I'm picking this up from Gamestop but Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 are coming from Amazon. I pretty much need those on launch day.

I picked 2 day shipping, and my copy shipped on the 1st and will be here on the 2nd.

how is this unlocked?

 

[Papercuts]

how is this unlocked?

Clearing all the chapters on Pro apparently.

 

[lazybones18]

What's the chronological order of the chapters? Just wondering

 

[Dusk Golem]

how is this unlocked?

Spoiler

By beating all chapters on Pro.

 

[Snapshot King]

By beating all chapters on Pro.

Is there a similar list for the changes that Pro makes to the game? Also, can you start on pro?

It's in the OP!

 

[Ken]

Got the game. Hope I enjoy it. > >

 

[Dusk Golem]

Pro is unlocked from the outset. Essentially like Veteran in RE5, though maybe a tad harder. Enemies do more damage, bigger chance, of mutating, more health, but about the same.

 

[Replicant]

What's the chronological order of the chapters? Just wondering

More or less:

Chris Chapter 2 + Jake Chapter 1
Jake Chapter 2
Leon Chapter 1
Leon Chapter 2
Chris Chapter 1 + Leon Chapter 3
Jake Chapter 3
Chris Chapter 3
Jake Chapter 4 + Leon Chapter 4 + Chris Chapter 4
Chris Chapter 5 + Leon Chapter 5 + Jake Chapter 5

 

[Papercuts]

What are the actual difficulty levels here? Just Easy, Normal, Pro from the start or is there another inbetween Normal?

 

[Yoshichan]

Gonna go buy the game now Wish me luck!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Pro is unlocked from the outset. Essentially like Veteran in RE5, though maybe a tad harder. Enemies do more damage, bigger chance, of mutating, more health, but about the same.

Are there even any achievements tied to difficulty this time around?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Amateur
Normal
Veteran
Pro
No Hope (locked until everything is finished on Pro)

 

[Replicant]

What are the actual difficulty levels here? Just Easy, Normal, Pro from the start or is there another inbetween Normal?

Amateur (auto QTEs), Normal, Veteran, Professional, and No Hope Left (unlocked after defeating Professional).

Are there even any achievements tied to difficulty this time around?

Yes for 4 difficulties. Not sure if they stack or not though.

 

[Teknoman]

That last difficulty unlock sounds AMAZING.

So there's a difficulty setting you can unlock just in case you were having fun?

Sounds like Pro would be more fun from the start. Anyone know what difficulty the demo was set to?

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

RE.net is up.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

According to the server list, normal.

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

Exactly where the demo begins.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Normal.

 

[Replicant]

RE.net is up.

Down already?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Amateur (auto QTEs), Normal, Veteran, Professional, and No Hope Left (unlocked after defeating Professional).

Im sure they're stackable, RE5 was if I recall.

 

[Bruce Lee Kicks]

Try "residentevil.net" and see if that makes a difference. I'm looking at the Launch event right now, it gives 40,000 RE points.

 

[Teknoman]

Normal.

According to the server list, normal.

Cool...now to decide whether to do a solo pro run the first time through, or just co-op both pro and the other.

Custom Cover

360/PS3

Really curious, where's the best place to get these printed out @ in reasonable quality?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Those QTEs at the beginning of Leon's thing make my flesh crawl. What the fuck.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Sucks im not going to be able to play at launch.
So many points won't be mine.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I'm really stuck on a puzzle in Ada's chapter 2. The one with the falling floor. All google could tell me was the solutions for the two puzzles that came before it, both of which I figured out easily. ;_;

Those QTEs at the beginning of Leon's thing make my flesh crawl. What the fuck.

I used to like QTEs. Before this game. The ones you're talking about are fine. It's the climbing ones and anything involving thumbstick waggling that are truly terrible.

 

[Daigoro]

Gonna go buy the game now Wish me luck!

good luck! dont eat it!

Sucks im not going to be able to play at launch.

will there be stuff that you cant earn after a certain period of time?

 

[Carbonox]

Hnnnnngh hurry up post man.

It's working until I tried to register for account. I thought at first it's because I chose PS3 and the PS3 server for registration is down. But the 360 doesn't work either.

Gamestop had like a billion stacks of the game and for the first time the cashier told me about how after opening it, I could only return it for the same game. > >

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

After grabbing it at a Redbox, I've played the opening and now I've backed out and started to install it. I think this may be an all nighter.

 

[Sojgat]

They know they'll be getting a lot back. They did the same thing with MW3 I believe.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I was under the impression all of the challenges for items and points will be certain time frames only. Though I bet that you're right and a good majority are permanent such as the one to unlock costumes that people were talking about.

All in All im still at a loss of what exactly RE.net is.
You can spend skill points on stuff on the site right?
And certain challenges award the top player something but what?


Did anyone figure out what the figurines are?
(The achievement says you need to unlock 3 or something)

 

[Ken]

What was wrong with MW3? Didn't follow that game at all.

 

[Yuripaw]

I've played the first 2 chapters of Chris's campaign so far. I can see why people would not be thrilled with some of the things they do in this game. So far I'm not hating it. The story, and campaign stuff is interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. However I do agree with some people that the action in Chris's campaign is just kinda boring. I don't know what it is, there's a lack of tension that I always felt during RE4 and RE5.

It seems like one of the things a lot of people will have issue with is how the aiming works. Once I figured it out, I can get head shots pretty easily. Most people want good aiming and controls, but they lock all that stuff behind skill unlocks. I don't know if that's the best decision or not, nor do I know if I like it, but I understand it.

I have found at times, especially in the first chapter there were moments when the camera felt too close. I don't know if I'm adapting, or it's getting better in the game. It seems worse in close corridors. I don't feel like I ever had a problem with this in RE4, and RE5, so I don't understand how this is something they could fuck up still.

I'm not a fan of Chris's partner too much. Just seems like a generic jarhead. I wish Jill was his partner again I guess it would make sense if she takes a break after what happened to her in RE5..but still.

 

[Sojgat]

It wasn't as good as MW2. I took my copy back the day after purchase, the girl working in the store said they had 14 copies returned already:0

I like RE6 well enough (now), but there will be a big negative response by some people wanting their money back.

The camera is one of the things people have been complaining about the most. Skills unlocks are kind of stupid, you unlock more slots when you finish a campaign though, and you don't like Matt Dam.. Piers? Unheard of.

 

[hamchan]

I sure hope they retroactively give me points on RE.net for all the stuff I've done.

Watching a live stream and the constant melee kicks....ugh

yeah....i kept thinking Chris's campaign was gonna be more shooting, but ammo runs out pretty quick, and it feels like I have to resort to melee on most standard enemies.

At least the knife is cool......so long as you aren't out of stamina.

There was with Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City. I dont think RE6 will be as big seeing how a large majority of the people these days probably started as 5 fans.

I guess try to use the hand gun more than anything? Thats what i've always done for RE. Handgun for most enemies unless i'm in a bind, and everything else for minibosses/bosses.

On an off topic note, I need to get back into P4Arena.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Live Streaming now. Come check it out if you guys are on the fence.

 

[hamchan]

Spent most of the time in Chris' campaign with next to no ammo. It's deceivingly like a standard shooter but you still have to conserve ammo like other RE games.
