Oh, I know what you're talking about now. The fishing village, right?
Did you know you can skip that part? Just head straight for the exit. From where you start, go forward and stick to the left until you find the path leading back up into the woods.
There are a lot of supplies in the fishing village... But if you can't deal with the revenants, who in turn waste your supplies anyways (and risk wasting your rations), I'd recommend just heading for the exit.
Then, in the subsequent stage, just make liberal use of your crowbar. Save most of your ammo for the multiple tentacle-armor guys at the end. (Although if worse comes to worse, those guys can be crowbarred, as well -- that's how I beat it)

I think I might know why I'm not earning the medal.
Natalia can't take damage either right? I didn't think of that. The second time I tried to get it I beat her really quick but she might have gotten a swipe in on Natalia
I didnt even get any after credits sequence...I wonder if its because I skipped the credits or because I got the ''hey congratulations beating the game,here is your worst ending reward....nothing.

It's all good. It was a great ride as it is, there's tons of replay value and it hasn't even went online yet.

I don't know, I got the good end the first try, but wow I thought something was off with her in the chopper @_@
The after-the-credits stinger builds on the good ending, it wouldn't make sense after the bad ending.
Huh? It shouldn't. You use the sub-weapons by holding L/L1 and then R2. As long as you're not holding L/L1, RE should just be the knife.

What? How are you even doing that?
Holy shit! I had no idea that even existed. Here it is, for those interested (Spoilers, obviously )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaUKdy6DNp8
They patched on PS4? Held off playing until some of the visual issues and bugs from weeks ago were ironed out. Is this the case now?
1: No, I don't believe so.
2: Hurler and the skill that allows Claire/Barry to shot and perform follow-ups when they are the AI. Depending on what difficultly level, you'll probably want to get the herb upgrade. Also, upgrading the crowbar and brick level will come in handy later on. Those are the ones I'd focus on.

1) Many things do carry over, but I believe each episode starts at full health.
2) I liked having Moira's flashlight and crowbar upgraded. Natalia's sight, too. Giving Barry/Claire a follow-up attack also worked for me. Upgrading bottles is pretty important IMO.
Good to see that

I guess there's a lot more secrets to this game lol, as it should have.
Moira's Light and Natalia's awareness is pretty good, especially the latter.
I use alot of melee so follow-up attacks and charged melee are good investments.
You can't go wrong with evasion and surviving killing blows. Quicker healing is a life saver in chaotic situations, as well as partner healing distance.
If you're playing solo, definitely get the skill to let your AI partner shoot their weapon, don't worry it doesn't take up ammo.
It's the throwing weapon damage skill.
Oh yeah, upgrading Moira's flashlight is a good one, too. I honestly didn't find Natalia's sight upgrades all that helpful really.
It's called Hurler, and I actually think it's the very first icon.
kamineko

You could be right. I prioritized upgrading Natalia's and Moira's abilities so I don't have a good sense of before and after.

I just did the struggle, awesome!!!! This is what raid mode should have been, a progression based mode not arenas. This is a great extra mode, totally brings back memories of the great extra modes of old RE.

Well I beat it.
So much better than Revelations 1 it isn't funny. Better design, combat, environments (although if the entirety of R1 was set on the Zenobia then that might take it), characters, story, puzzles (ie it had some)... just so, so much better in every regard. Still close to the bottom of the pile in the RE tiering, but I think the developers deserve a lot of credit for doing a lot with obviously very little. The low budget and heavy recycling (even literally from older RE titles in cases) didn't harm the experience, and it managed to be varied and interesting throughout. Overall I really enjoyed the game, much more than I thought I would considering my low expectations post-Revelations 1, and I look forward to playing through it again soon.
Got the shit ending though apparently.

I only started playing the game and in reading this thread, is the general consensus that this game far exceeded everyone's expectations? That's what it seems like as I'm skimming through this thread.

Very much so, Claire's episode 1 is okay, Barry's is better, but it gets better with each episode, with episodes 3 and 4 being most people's favorite.

Does anybody else feel like Rev1 had a better campaign but Rev2 did literally everything else better. That's how I feel right now.

So I asked the other day but maybe a couple more days have yielded more data. For those playing code red, how are the drops? I've only found rare crap (& I mean crap) so far. Like 4 fire rate mods, that kind of thing. When do the level 100 guns start appearing?
True, a good summary, but I was disappointed that I didn't make the cut. I gotta up my game.
EDIT
In terms of story? No, I thought REV2 was better. REV2 started off promising and got better from there. By then end it just steamrolled REV1 IMO. Both endings were lore-rich and felt impactful. The callbacks/fan service really worked for me, too.
I say that as a guy that enjoyed the characters of REV1 way more than seems typical.

I said this after episode 3, but it best sums up my experience
Regarding Jill, she is my main. I love her evasion stuff. You evade back twice and you have enough distance to pull out the rifle. It's ridiculous

Why REV 2 so low?
He got the bad end, otherwise it would have been right after REmake.

damn, that ep 2 cliffhanger. Thank fuck I can continue tomorrow right away.
It's funny how many things it has in common with Evil Within, except it does everything better. Still on its way to best modern RE.

I'm confident RER2 will be by far and away your favorite modern RE.
Just know that Claire's Episode 4 is short... but it factors into Barry's immense Episode 4.
And when Claire is pinned by the boss at the end of Episode 3, SWITCH TO MOIRA AND CRAWL FORWARD. Trust me. Don't have Claire do anything.
This will put you on track for the good ending, and you want the good ending.

RE is my favourite series, none of the main games in it are bad, and the ones above R2 are all awesome.
R2 is great, no doubt about it, just not as good as the others.
I'm gonna take a crack at getting the proper ending tomorrow.
Yeah, I do agree that after being disappointed with Revelations 1, I was really surprised with how much I actually enjoyed the campaign of Rev 2.
I won't go so far to say that it's the best RE since RE4(I still enjoyed 5), but it's definitely one of the better modern RE games.
Hats off to the dev team for proving me wrong that the current Capcom can't do a great Resident Evil game.

Yeah, I don't think it worked for some folks but LM does a great job of helping the player visualize a pretty damned abstract situation. I loved the mood/vibe of the whole thing. I think it does a better job of adding to our understanding of the story than does "The Struggle."
Though I guess we do know that
Moira isn't just competent; she's a total badass
Three shots of my lv. 100 character don't click unless you've beat the game with the good ending:

Suddenly, Jill had flashbacks to drama class:
Jill, the Musical:
The Passion of the Jill:
And then she started twerking:
The best part about The Struggle (aside from being challenging and fun as hell), is it really goes a long way to show how much Moira loves her dad. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. Her love for her dad is what ends up getting her so far. And her relationship with Evgeny, and even her feeling bad about the animals she needs to hunt... Along with how she takes care of Natalia and her sister-like relationship with Claire, it's clear that even with the foul mouth, Moira has a heart of gold just like her dad. :-3

Can't decide who should be my new main now that I abandoned impostor Jill.
Claire - Love her new design and her voice. So good and raw and real. Love her melee moves and
Claire is my favorite costume of hers and then default. Can't say I care for her RE2 costume though or the Rodeo.
Leon - Always had a soft spot for this guy and always liked his character. And I played alot as Leon in Mercs 6. Plus I can't wait for pair him up with Claire in Raid Mode. Gimme dat online patch right now. He's always really fun to play with and I like his voice.
Chris - Yas, papi! Love his new commands "I owe you one" sent me back to RE5 Jill/Sheva (1:04). Same with Leon, I've always liked Chris but since he's been in so many games recently I don't really see myself playing with him (tehee) that much. Another character I really liked in Mercs 6.
HUNK - Where's Lady Hunk doe? I really like his skills and melee is cool af. I really enjoyed him in Rev1 but I don't know there's something kinda boring about him.
Wesker - Another one I'm considering alot. But maybe I'm bias because he's RE5. Though I enjoy his cuntness and commands. Wish his regular melee was different but I do like his ground finisher and him overall.
Barry - Hmm... there's something off about Mr Burton in this game but I don't really know what? Maybe I just miss his old voice or miss his melee from RE5 Mercs Reunion. I also consider his melee boring now that every other (story) male in this game have it. Though that STARS costume. Hnnnng.
I'm considering
, because she's a bitch and Gina as well because her commands are so stupid and she's basically Rachael 2.0 but the fact that they have no originality whatsoever in melee is just offputting to me. Same with Moira even though I gave her the katana.
I really don't care for the others and I'm hoping for other DLC characters. Give me Sheva, Piers, Helena, Rebecca... even Ada and my life is complete.
Claire - Love her new design and her voice. So good and raw and real. Love her melee moves and
Sniper

I disagree and I have explained why a few times...to each his own I guess...let me start at each progression at least and get rid of the useless time constraints and the stupid rations...
Gathering rations within time limits is kind of the point to The Struggle. :/
