Does his best thinking in the flying car
I probably would. There are great options for PC either in place or coming soon, but that's not where I'm at right now. I play all the mainline game campaigns once a year... except RE6. Think I've done everything I need to do there.
So sure, having RE4 & RE5 on my PS4 would be quite convenient
Just finished the second episode. I already played both 1st and 2nd episode with a friend, on co-op on her PS3, but you know: it's different when you play with a friend and rush things through or make jokes constantly and different when you're playing alone, explore areas, read files etc. That said, I'm really enjoying the game. There are some iffy things (invisible enemies - eww) but the game is really filled with atmosphere and some interesting gameplay scenarios. Capcom found a great balance between exploration/backtracking and fights.
Also, this is the first game that I remember where a little girl is actually useful and not annoying (message to a RE2 Sherry: watch and learn!): both story/dialogue wise and gameplay wise.

I never got RE4 HD, since I owned it on GCN and PS2 and played it a gazillion times. I only got the Wii version because it was on clearance somewhere for $8
and then proceeded to play it a gazillion more times
I don't own RE5 anymore, I sold it to a friend when I went abroad one year, so maybe that one, though it's a real drag to play solo.
RE6 I actually enjoy as well, but I'm pretty content with the amount I've played it and still own my 360 copy.
I mean, maybe I'd get them on sale or something, just to have, but in general no really.

I would love some raid dlc. It would give me more incentive to level up more characters and skills.

no its not lol
Theres a difference between betraying people TO achieve your goal and betraying people just because you can.

The issue I see is we already know how capcom would handle that. Considering you can't even die as natalia in campaign unless you run into blades or fall off a ledge. Her being a villain would already push it into knowing how it would end.
You're reading way too much into the text. The gist of them is identical and most people don't over-analyze the exact wording of every single sentence. There's not something to read deeper into here.
I finished up the story on the weekend. All the hype for the ending didn't disappoint. Magical dialogue. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with this. The episodic release made me put more time into raid mode than I otherwise would have which worked out well as that raid mode is fantastic.
I spent some time using local split screen to finally get shield all the way up so I could put in on my main Hunk. Wow. I got to level 80 without it so I'm feeling somewhat invincible now.

No, it's saying that she may ally with someone evil like Wesker to achieve her goals but once achieved then she feels no qualms about betraying him.

What are you talking about? I'm not reading "way too much" into anything.
The text flatout says that once Ada achieves her "true purpose", she will betray anyone and everyone even though it's completely worthless to do so (since she already DID get what she want) in one translation whereas the other it states that she would betray someone ONLY IF it means getting closer to achieving her "true purpose."
In the first, it's an act where both sides gain absolutely nothing. In the second, one side actually benefits from the betrayal.
I know y'all hate the translation-freaks and find them annoying, and you can continue hating them, but you can stop defending the localization. Whether you like the localization or not is completely subjective, but it is simply not correct.

Moira and Evgeny can't die in the campaign either. It's just how they set up the partner characters in general.

Well to the other side of that in little miss you only "faint"
Got it 2 days ago, just finished, and wow, it has been a wonderful surprise, i never expected that they would do a good job like this(as concerned the survival horror mechanics). The checkpoints and the fact that you can carry 4 weapons(too many!) are not the best choices, IMO, but for the rest, this is a real RE. Hope that RE7 will be very different from RE6, and more similar to this one, that for me is the best RE among the "newest" one.

Well Natalia was promoted to main character during Little Miss. Not to mention being an acid trip dream sequence that she was apparently sleep walking in.

Look we need over the top villains in RE because we have over the top heroes in RE. If we got a more normal human bad guy, it won't work as well. See Morgan Lansdale from REV1. We would need a main character that focus on survival and afraid of the horror. The games are too action focused now, even when toned down to be like that. We are always gonna have Chris/Jill/Leon/Claire ect Dude Bro it up with there insane skills, back story and massive experiance.
It's like in REV2
It's like in REV2
Claire is imprisoned with Moira and for like five seconds they are trying to find there way out and then it turns to "lets head to that tower and beat the shit out of whoever did this to us, it will work out that way I'm Claire Fucking Redfeild" I know it's probably there only way out given the situation but that's their attitude towards the situation.

It's fair game if you can't play it on a console. It's a pretty expensive remaster if you're prefacing it to someone saying they also need to buy another console to play it.

But we wouldn't know how it would end. All we would know is the heroes would
try to purge Alex from Natalia's mind
uses a child as a human shield

Guess my issue is I see capcom taking the easy way out and making everything work out perfectly.
The nice thing about this setup is
Alex could slip through their fingers yet again
it could "work out" in that they save Natalia, purging Alex from her mind, but not before Alex manages to copy herself to yet another vessel
Natalia being saved, but Sherry Birkin being lost, when Alex chooses her for her superhuman healing factor, etc
Natalia as a human shield
"Natalex" was so creepy in RER2's ending(s).

Had Claire kill Pedro and Barry got the drill sooner and dang talk about shortcuts.
This really isn't about hating translation-freaks or liking the translation. No need to try and turn that into something it's not. It's just about not seeing the difference in the two statements, mainly since they're isn't.
Oh, I don't know if this is commonly known or not, but I found this list of all the bonus weapons on Gamefaqs as in what they actually are since the descriptions can be vague.
beat normal : bowgun
beat causal : typewriter
beat survial : meat grinder(drill)
beat entire story under 3 hours : infinite launcher:
beat no escape : inf ammo for ALL guns.
beat invisible enemy on all chapters : katana

The katana is so awesome in Raid. That's quite the carrot to dangle in front of us for completing Invisible Mode.

Entire story under three hours??? Fuck this, lol.

Agree, its a very different tone/vibe depending on protagonist, Chris? Jill? they kill monsters everyday, their dialogue on Revelations was boring because that is basically just another job for them, another terrorist scum, other virus, government conspiration.
Leon is kinda entertaining so it isn't as bad, but i want to see more main characters that are, you know actually afraid of the abominations and freaks they are facing, that are vulnerable in a way and don't just doing their job, it has become too ridiculous on this aspect, so REV 2 is a breath of fresh air.
Also over the top villains fit best, because they can be more entertaining and scary, or at least more threatening, of course the main character can't be always scared either, this is RE after all, but like the situation on the island, where Claire and Moira got kidnapped and only could speak to the villain, i thought that was a very good idea.
Yeah, beating under three hours is how you got the Rocket Launcher in the first game. I can't remember if it's sort of a standard thing at this point or not.

I'm on Barry's EP4 in Invisible Mode now. I'm sort of bleh about it. I don't like Invisible Mode much, and this is a long stretch
To be honest, as much as I love RER2 (and I love it A LOT), I don't think I'm going to bother with Invisible Mode. I'm perfectly happy replaying the main campaign again and again the normal way.
Yeah, I kind of don't know why I did it. I'm almost done with the cheevos, partially why.

Yeah, the difference is....this was possible in RE1 because you could avoid most of the enemies. In RER2 (or every RE after 4) you have no choice (most of the time), you must fight them. Nah, nope

Both of those modes are killing my enthusiasm in even trying to get them all.

What's a good chapter to farm BP in? I was thinking doing Little Miss over and over again since it's short and offers like 15k per run, but that seems boring to say the least.
It's actually pretty easy. The game keeps your fastest time for each episode regardless of any slower time you do playing it again later. So you can do things like speed through Barry's chapters after triggering certain things that might take longer to do in Claire's, then go back to Claire's chapters and speed through them ignoring things that would help Barry.
Also you it will unlock for your whole game no matter what difficulty you do it on, so you can just trim your times down on Casual and it'll unlock for you. It was not hard to do at all and you can cut your whole playtime down to well, well under 3 hours.
I wonder if you can beat Invisible Mode on Casual and get the katana.
Doing it on Casual kind of tempts me to give it a try.
Surprised you even needed to explain this, haha.
You can't. Countdown and Invisible Enemy mode have set difficulties. Countdown is locked to Normal and Invisible Enemy is locked to Survival. You also can never use the Bonus Weapons on them since you're locked out of the workbench.

Invisible Mode doesn't have a difficulty selection.
