Yup, I got a lot of those when I was playing with someone. Sometimes even well into the matches =/Patch seems to have fixed my crazy fps problems so far,
half my mercs matches still end up with this half the time though

The enemies are throwing grenades though, I don't remember that ever happening on the PS3 version(Professional) Did No Hope Mode add that?

Yeah, it was pretty fun yet tense but starting chapter 2 of Chris's campaign with one Nato round as Piers led me to call it a night
Feels like it'd be a lot easier with coop, parter ai seemed to be a lot more aggressive but often woulds stick to close to you to really help clear rooms. Really don't remember enemies throwing grenades though, really shocked me.Did that new monster type that was supposed to follow you around Onimusha style throughout the campaigns end up being non-existant?
Basically this. Right now I've only played Leon's and Jake's first chapters and two Chris' chapters (I hope I'll have some time to play more this weekend) and out of those four chapters Chris' were the best. Leon's tried too much to be cinematic (random QTE bullshit, too many camera transitions, forcing you to walk slowly etc.) and Jake's was a bit chaotic and I think forced too many different boss battles (in a single chapter you have: Ustanak, Ogroman and Ustanak again). Chris' opening chapters maybe were mediocre, but for me, out of all opening chapters, they were the most balanced ones and simply fun.
You mean Ustanak? I think he's only in Jake's campaign.

No, and I know that given I spent around 40 hours with the PS3 version
In the orignal explanation of the No Hope mode I was almost sure there was mentioning of a new monster type that followed every character throughout the game and couldn't die, only be stunned. Sounded insane.

Either you bought a little too much into pre-game hype about Ustanak or might be thinking about a new enemy they revealed in the upcoming port of RE:R (who miay also end up being like Ustanak).

Leon's first chapter was appealing to me because I really liked the aesthetics of the campus, especially outside. I thought it looked really nice. The game in general has many odd choices in camera changes that aren't specific to any one campaign, so I can't fault just Leon's for that one. Only being able to walk in some parts was a pain, though, I agree.
Chris's chapter 1 has that terrible hostage mission, if I recall correctly. Fast enemies in small quarters with sharp turns is not very fun. It did have that great section on the rooftops where you and your partner are split up, then reconvene to fight on another rooftop to hold out.

Nice; I'm really liking what I'm reading. These definitely sound like things I'd enjoy participating in. That 4-player Team one for Mercs sounds cool. I do hope Capcom will weed out any obviously hacked scores for these things, though. It's bound to happen, right?
Well, I agree with that. It's probably easier when you're playing in co-op, but when I was playing alone Piers was either constantly following me or did nothing so I had to chase the J'avo alone. BTW when I was rescuing the last hostage there was a sudden slow-motion time when J'avo holding him was preparing to shoot the hostage. What happens when you fail to kill the enemy before he kills the hostage? Game over?

No, speaking specifically about when No Hope Mode was first detailed. Ie, a week or so after the game came out. (Edit: The quote is just to reference the specific element that it ended up actually being, will find the orignal statement/rumor/whatever later today: edit end)
http://www.examiner.com/article/unlock-conditions-and-more-revealed-for-resident-evil-6-s-no-hope-difficulty-mod
"A special miniboss enemy encountered in the campaign now recovers from it's immobilized status very, very quickly after it's limbs are destroyed."
I'll find it later today, I'm really tired and going to bed, but when it was first talked about it was described (incorrectly obviously) as a new mini boss that chased you through the campaign and recovered without ever dying. Separate from Ustanak completely. As the official quote implies however, it ended up just being a minor boss adjustment.
The J'avo slits the hostages throat and game over. Always a machete wielder that grabs her for me at least.

Not sure how this would imply a new enemy, the wording implies it's a modification of an existing one, otherwise it wouldn't be said in the past tense.

Read the next paragraph after that
It's hard to search for before the patch, because that was when all the news articles were published and as such it requires a more extensive search. Just posted that to show the basis of what I remembered, but prior to the actual release it was something else. As I said, will find it later today, but I just finished my work and I'm going to bed Leon's opening is kinda weak to re-play or co-op, but once you get into it, the first two chapters are the best part of the game, imo. Very good old-RE vibes.
I kinda wish they made the

I hope RE.net sticks around for a long time and is utilized in future games. I have to say I'm really liking the site and what it offers the game as a complementary accessory. Is the REvelations one just as good? I'll be excited if it gets updated to support the HD versions when those are out.
Most likely, but it's just a guess.
I was almost as useful as your AI Piers in co-op. I just kept getting hit constantly as I lined up a shot because the place was crawling with enemies, and I was too stubborn to stop and get rid of them because I thought I could get the one with the hostage.
Most likely, but it's just a guess.

Nope nope nope! Why!
Big fan of RE5 here, I will own this tonight!
Please PM me if you're looking for someone to play Mercs with along with your Steam name.
I'd say campaign also, but probably all of you have played it already and 1st run through I don't want to be spoiled, so only if you haven't played it yet. I want every moment, good and bad, to be a surprise.

Been playing this , liking it a lot more than I expected. Leon's chapter was my starting point; it feels a lot more like an RE game, in terms of setting, than 5 did for me. Leon is just a better character. Some of the areas in his campaign are so fucking cool. What's the consensus on best campaign though? My only wish is that more work went into the textures, cause the lighting in this game is some of my favorite of recent games.

Ooooh:
Which led to us being 49 and 50 on the leaderboards. I wonder how long it will last.
We never dropped our combo. Feels good.

Personally I felt Leon's campaign didn't pick up until you went to china.
Really was not a fan of the town or crypt sections. Still at a loss why people love those areas so much.
You quite literally felt the exact same about the game as I did, Leon/Helena had the good tense coop moments like the old RE5 demo if you can remember.
Aside from Simmons more or less nothing happens in the Leon/Helena campaign in China, you can probably count the number of enemies you come across the entire time. Run here, run there, nothing but padding shovelled in so the campaigns all cross over each other.
Did they ever release any information on the development process, because I would love to speculate on completely different teams either for each campaign or locale including that Leon/Helena was where RE5 people worked on. Or it was just quite simply too many cooks.

Man, I know I'm super late in bringing it up, but the Helena 2 and Piers 2 costumes are ugly as sin. And what's up with Helena looking like a doped-up hooker in her render for it? It's kind of amusing. Jake 2's ugly as well.
Is there anyone else in this thread that enjoys Onslaught as much as I do? If so, let's play. I can never find a session when I look, and having multiple people that like to play it in my list will make things easier.
Sectus, would it be possible to use Chris's outfit when he's in the bars in Mercs? AKA, have you tried doing it? It's pretty sweet.

S seems to be the highest.
Thanks
Oh and all Mercs characters are now unlocked by the way
Vanilla Ada is garbage but Carla is a BOSS!

Spoiler tag that second character, isamu.
Up to Catacombs and I almost unlocked the next stage and was about get an S rank, then all of a sudden that slobby slimey fucker comes out of nowhere and grabs me! Arrrgh!!
One thing I hate about this one is how they changed the inventory. In previous RE's I'd reload and combine all my stuff via the "Japanese way", which is opening up the inventory screen and dragging one item over to the next. I don't like that I can't do it that way in RE6. Your forced to take the easy route and press one key and watch the slow animation as they reload. Boo!
Also I notice sometime I'll pick up more that one herb and they won't combine(no, not red and red, but red and green, green and green). Strange.
Can't wait til the game comes out in Japan, Asia and Europe, then we'll hopefully see some Mercs players online. Being released *ONLY* in the US at the moment doesn't help this issue at all!

Tried and didn't work unfortunately. There's a big obstacle right now regarding shaders which limits what models you can use in other stages.
Are you talking about RE6 PC? Because it's been out world wide now. The world wide release date differed only with hours.

Huh? As far as I know European RE6 PC release day was the same as in US. At least the game was unlocked on Steam in Europe on March 22nd.
Really? Why does it say TBA on Gamefaqs?
http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/605605-resident-evil-6/data
If it's really released in Europe already on Steam, then where the hell is everybody???? What about Japan? Is it out over there too?
3 more chapters (Jake 2, Leon 2 and Leon 3) finished. Jake 2 is considered to be the worst one (or at least one of the lowest), right?
Anyway, I'm still enjoying the game. Jake 2 was so-so (the finding keys in the blizzard part was really tiresome, especially when you already kill all the enemies and are left with trying to find a proper path to keys in the blizzard... which took me a while >_>) but Leon 2 and 3 were great. I loved the atmosphere in the laboratory and catacombs.
I have to admit that right now I consider the game to have the best creature gallery out of all games in the series. And unless the game turns really craptastic in later chapters I still can't see why it was so shat on by reviewers. RE6 has its problems, especially with pacing, but it's nowhere neas as bad as reviews suggested back then. The root of the game, the combat, is really fun.
One thing I really don't like is how the game is structured, how obvious "current objectives" are and how the gameplay can switch from scene to scene. It was especially jarring in Leon 2 during
: fight the boss, find your partner, fight the boss, ride a trolley while dodging obstacles, shoot barrels, fight the boss while in the trolley etc. - each section was short and you could easily tell when one section starts and when it ends. Jake 2 was also guilty of that, but at least each section was much longer: look for keys in a snow blizzard, defend the cabin, snowmobile ride, stealth section, QTE "boss fight". It doesn't flow as well as RE4, even though that game also had really varied gameplay. It doesn't help that there's a "current objective" visible in the top left corner of the screen (really game? do you really have to tell me that I should defend myself from that big monster that's attacking me right now?).

Leon and Helena are fucking assholes, though. Survivors let them in to the cathedral saving their sorry ass and in return Leon and Heleona unleash Lepotitsa on them... Great work, guys.

Finally got an fc with a random online
Regular mercs is kicking my ass, barely getting Bs
Worldwide release on the 21st. Isn't even currently in the top 100 of steam japan so it's probably not doing well there.

I'm digging this game's verisimilitude because I was scared silly in that chapter. I spent my time running from the enemies near the northern keys and hoping none more would show up. The score is excellent and waiting for enemies to appear is as frightening as wanting to run from them.
Leon is a walking disaster, a feel sorry for all the NPCs he gets killed during the game. And it's not like he gives too much of a fuck either. <_< He's just "lol whatever".
Yeah, but at least it could be worse... i mean, the game doesn't stop you and tells you thing. RE6 "hand-holding" didn't bother me like too much honestly, unlike, dunno, Zelda.
