Resident Evil: Revelations 2 |OT| Yeah, but it's only $25
- Thread starter Nemesis_
- Start date
I'm on the fence, on the cusp really about getting this game. It sounds like a fun, solid campaign. I've never been into Mercenaries mode in the previous games (that was about combo-ing kills to get a high score right?) Whereas Raid is about combo-ing kills and escaping all the while unlocking weapons and upgrades for those weapons?
Sounds like a nice package for the price. What are your general thoughts on it? Any unlockable costumes in the game or do you have to buy them via DLC? And lastly what, if any, of the DLC would you recommend?

Play to the end of the episode and I bet you'll change your mind.

The game is fantastic and great value for the price.
Yes, it has several unlockable costumes.
As for the dlc, it's all included if you go with the retail version (the full package is also available digitally). If not, check out Raid Mode and then decide if you want to invest in skins, maps or an extra character.

Pretty much this. If you are on console, I'd suggest the Complete Season unless you prefer physical. That will get you all essential content & then you can pick up the extra costumes if you feel like it.
If you get into raid (which can be addictive), you might end up buying extra parts storage, but you'll know it when you need it.
Raid and Mercs are pretty different, so if you didn't like Mercs maybe Raid will be more your speed. I think it's a blast

Nope. The only evidence we have of more "DLC" is the files that are named Episode 7~11.
Everything else is related to Events from RE.net. I'm not saying there will not be any DLC, but there's no proof for it being planned except for the one I just mentioned, and that one is fairly weak since this is video game development we're talking abouy. Content gets planned and cut so easily.
It's easily my favorite since RE4 and right up there with it in quality for me. There's 1 Pack of DLC costumes, one for each character. There's also 1 Unlockable Costume in game for each character except for Claire who has 2 unlockable costumes.
Retail disc ($40) gets you all 4 DLC costumes + both Bonus episodes + Wesker & Hunk for Raid Mode.
Complete Season Pass ($25) gets you both Bonus Episodes + Hunk for Raid mode. So it's $15 less, but you don't get the Costume Pack ($10) + Wesker ($3).
The rest of the DLC is basically some raid mode weapons (early boosts, basically) and storage stuff for Raid (which you may want if you get really into it).

I like all the voices in the game but I really have to give it to Moira's VA, this could've gone very wrong but she was simply perfect.
One in the fishing village? Just cut your losses, ignore the revenants and sneak straight for the exit. It ends as soon as you reach the path leading back to the woods.

It's pretty rough, you're right. Main thing is to take advantage of Moira's crowbar and light when you can, and check to see if your upgraded skills can help her.
The next area gets pretty stupid. I switched to casual. Not sure if I'll go back and complete a survival run or not. Probably not.
EDIT: I assumed you weren't talking about the stealth section. I just sprinted from one end of town to the other. LOL
Can also make a run to it pretty easily, more than enough time.
True, I did this once spotted.
nah, talking about
the sewer horde mode part. The stealth section I think is the 3rd area, which I just got to now
Revenants are such trolls, they come all slowly but the moment you start sprinting, so do they and they are just as fast and stay right next to you the entire time you sprint lol
I don't like the idea of invisible ohko enemies means being tougher. It's just cheap imo since there's no counter to it, not that I know of at least. Today's daily was just me shooting through a narrow door.
I think the revenants are just misunderstood.
Revenant: "Wait! You dropped your chapstick!"
Hold down X.

Should be the X button while moving forward.

Invisible enemies show up when you aim on them. Worst case is tossing a bottle near your feet to make them show up.
That's not what I had in mind, but yes, there are invisible enemies, with exploding fire modifiers and more. You reveal invisible enemies by aiming at them. On mobile, but search "ThatWouldBeTits" on YouTube (my channel for PS4 videos), and look up the video "Sneaky Pedro." Now -that- is a terrifying enemy to make burning and invisible, lol. So good.

Regarding invisible enemies. Don't know how far folks are into Code Red but...
Your reward? 2 final shot mods and a long-range shotgun. lol
Everything's faster. & if you're playing at recommended level, the enemies are higher level than you. So you've got fast, resilient glasps to look forward to.

Yes, 90. Enemy levels aren't 90, though. So far the loot has been horrible for me, I've asked a few times about others' experiences with loot, but haven't heard anything. I did find one level 100 gun tho.

First bad thing in this game was chapter 3 midboss and oh surprise, it's because they wanted to throw RE5 fans a bone too.
Trying to think of what you're referencing. Can you clarify in spoiler tags?

I ended up doing it on casual, which would be the easiest way to determine weather or not it was glitched. I put Natalia right by the door where you enter and unloaded everything I had until she was down making sure neither Barry or Natalia were hit. At the ranking screen I finally earned the medal.
That's the throwback pack? I thought the pack was the blank square before it.
I might be wrong, but I saw someone here teasing that there was something unlocked if you got all the completion medals with a character...nothing unlocked for me.

The Struggle is a walk in the park on casual but on survival I really don't recommend doing that.
There's a ton of loot in the village and also weapons.
Taking out the revenants with stealth really isn't hard after you learn their locations and patterns.
It really sucks having to waste a ration each time you're spotted, it's risky but if you're on survival you most likely wont make it without collecting at least some of the items in the village.
I don't see myself doing invisible mode, tried it but found it frustrating.

I can't think of any boss like that in RE5. Claire's Episode 3 boss felt more like the
RE1 Tyrant.

Yeah, I really liked that fight (and the character).

Wait... There's a sprint button?! Wow ok, played the whole game without it lol. Probably could've not died a bit more. 
Good Stuff:
I really liked the story, fantastic main villain and cool dynamics between the cast. This was my first Resident Evil game I have played that has Claire and Barry in it, they are pretty cool characters. And I was so surprised by Natalia, has got to be one of the only little girls in a video game that I didn't hate or get irritated at all by. Perhaps because her voice actually sounds like kid lol. Raid mode has a lot more content and fresh environments.
Bad Stuff:
I really didn't like the non-playable character design (aside from the main villain) and the enemy design (aside from the white spindly thing) - definitely not as memorable and out there as RER1. Many campaign environments were dull, and lots of backtracking. :/ Also raid mode has lost a lot of suspense and a sense of adventure IMO.
Out of the three Resident Evil games I've played this would have to be a close second to RER1 (RE4 is third favourite for me).

Yeah I definitely want that HD remaster. Will pick it up when it's on sale
It's worth 19,99$ if you've never played it
edit: It's probably still worth 59,99. Best survival horror game ever made.
