Very nice. Congrats! Little Miss is actually entirely different. Easier IMO but the story/tone is great. Some folks hated it tho. *shrug*

What? there is absolutely no fight anything like that in 5.
its a classic Tyrant fight, only recent boss that was similar was the final of REV1 and he played completely differently.

That whole chapter channels some Silent Hill, and it's better for it.

It was just nice to see something unique for a change. But I'm weird and love bizarre stuff like that. It reminded me a bit of the Twilight Realm in Twilight Princess; while most people were annoyed by the gameplay I was enamored by the atmosphere and actually thought it was fun.
Yep, though everyone is awesome in this.

It's crazy how much I went from loathing Moira to caring about her. As her background and upbringing came into focus it made more sense and while she still says stupid shit in the end I found myself laughing at it instead of rolling my eyes, and
I thought the stuff between her and Barry ended up being great and even touching. "Fucking technology."

Only problem I had with it was that REV1 had more memorable tracks(even action ones)
While the remixes in REV2 are way better than the original's there aren't many memorable ones besides those.

Was pretty happy to find that the soundtrack was already on Youtube.

There's no classic tyrant fight in which you'd
burn away these dumb black worms for an eternity and then spam some glowing light bulb weak point, eating way too much ammo. Then eventual aiming for explosives. Typical RE5 shit. Lame area too, with no sense of danger, compared to, for example, the drill boss.

I thought Theme of Barry was very good. Which is probably why it's included with the mini soundtrack.
It only takes me 1 whole clip of magnum ammo to blow out the heart. Afterwards when he's done cooling himself off, he walks around for a bit before he finally suffers a heart attack and dies. I was laughing my fucking ass off when that happened.

Yes, that's just episode 1
Cheers, download cap resets in 2 days so is a good time to download them all XD.

My favorite song off the soundtrack was mozart

Which is pretty cheap, BUT considering Moonlight Sonata from RE1 was what got me into classical music. It's just keeping with tradition at this point.

OK yeah that was awesome.
Not quite that awesome though.
They deserve credit, and a lot of it. Revelations 2 is legit, way more than the first Revelations was.
Episode 4 question:
The first insect larvae can only be acquired if you flipped a certain switch in Claire's part. And the second insect larvae can only be obtained if you -didn't- flip the switch. Is it possible to get one, then immediately exit, replay Claire the other way, and get the other larvae? In other words, does the game save record of getting a larvae as soon as you get it?

Talk about the soundtrack? good, i was going to ask if there is a comparable theme to the save rooms in previous RE, i really miss those, not any since RE4.
Also is there good tracks that are not remixes? what would be your favorite?

It is a mainline RE game.
Also, character models in RER2 >>> Alan Wake.
Alan Wake is great, though. Not hatin'.
What Episode 4 file am I missing? I need one more.
Here's what I have:

I think part of the "atmosphere" would be lost if this was a big budget game, its because they are releasing as dlc episodes that its more horror-like, also it helps the game being more focused, compared to something like RE6, but yeah if there is a Revelations 3 it could look nicer.
been playing this over the last few days and I've enjoyed it alot more than I expected. I on Barry's section in episode 4 and decided to take a little break after playing all day. The last couple hours of the game have been awesome and it seems like it's building to a great conclusion.

Best RE since RE4.
Great campaign with some really nice encounters and some of the best asymmetric coop I've ever played. It was also features an intriguing plot that doesn't take itself too seriously and an excellent Raid mode.
Hoping the next mainline game sticks with what made this game great but if Revelations remains its own thing with a smaller budget then I'll also be happy.

Not a fan of the "switch to second character to see items in level" idea. Gets annoying quickly having to constantly switch and scan the environment for pickups.

I actually went through the whole game without doing this. Probably made things harder for myself, but I agree I shouldn't have to switch to search areas.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Yeah, it sucks.
At least Moria's flashlight can pick up the glimmer of hidden items even when you're using Claire. But it still sucks.

Switching characters isn't really necessary half the time and hidden items like that become less frequent later on from my experience.
But yeah, the game is best experienced in coop which makes it all the more baffling why Capcom didn't include campaign online coop.

No they don't. You must have gotten tired of switching/searching, cause they're there just as much near the end.

Eh, probably wasn't paying enough attention. I was completely stock piled by the end of the game anyway. Switching characters never bothered me too much though fortunately.

The character switching and the fade to black everytime you switch/open a door is extremely, extremely off-putting.Would have been an AMAZING RE game if it didn't have those.
I think the developers just couldn't be bothered programming pathfinding AI to get through rooms. Instead they just warp your partner to you and you both pass through the door together :/
focus on the fire dude only and the rest of the monsters stop spawning.
If you aint got no ammo....strafe the fucker and whack em till he drops;

Literally ignore all the other enemies and focus on the big dude. His attacks are really easy to dodge as well if you have your evade lvl'd.
So I ended up pulling the trigger and this is great so far. And totally unexpectedly, my wife and I are having a blast doing couch co-op together. The secondary characters don't require a lot of intense aiming and shooting; my wife is still getting used to using two sticks to move and look around so she can hang back and play support while I do the heavy lifting.
We've only completed the first episode but I'm hoping this eases her into hand controls in general.
On top of that, this is the best RE game I've played since 4. Lots of fun, can't wait to try out Raid and see what the campaign has in store.

It annoyed me at first because I kinda just wanted to play as Claire/Barry but I adjusted and always played it as the secondary character until an enemy showed up. Then as soon as I dealt with them would switch straight back to Moira/Natalia. Very little backtracking or anything that way.

Wow, that actually worked. Jesus, I died 70+ times on that stage and I'm sure most of it was at that part. Thanks for the tip.

I usually just craft a bunch of exploding bottles and chuck it at him. He's usually dead in 5-10 seconds.
Yeah, but I didn't have enough materials to make any more than two.

In raid mode is there any way to see how many completion medals I've unlocked?
So... I've never actually played a RE game before and all the positivity surrounding this game on GAF has really made me want to start the series, but the problem is is that I have no clue where to begin (I'm assuming this game isn't a good place to start). There are soooo many RE games and seemingly so many spin-offs as well.
How is this order?:
Resident Evil HD Remaster --> Resident Evil 2 --> Resident Evil 3 --> Resident Evil Zero --> Resident Evil 4 --> Resident Evil 5 --> Resident Evil 6 --> Resident Evil Revelations --> Resident Evil Revelations 2
I'm not sure if I'm missing any important games or anything. Also, would the transition from RE HD remaster to RE2 be jarring?
Thanks!
