Whoa! That sounds really tough. :-\
I'm just eager to replay the whole campaign in one straight shot. So far I've played each episode several times, but not all in one straight shot.

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
You can actually run past a surprisingly large amount of stuff in this game.
Yes, very easy.
I think you can technically run past everything except:
Neil, Alex, the first Vulcanblubber encounter, Pedro (but you have to kill with Barry if you skip him), the Zombie waves right before Pedro, and the room before you take the final elevator down to Alex. Not sure if you can skip the first claw guy fight where you get the generator for the first time in Barry's Ep 3, but you can the second time.
Also skipping the stuff in the Sluice Gates in Barry Ep 3 would be difficult, but possible.
Also skipping the stuff in the Sluice Gates in Barry Ep 3 would be difficult, but possible.
Most other stuff is pretty easily skippable due to doors stopping things in their tracks. You can actually bullshit a lot of Stealth Kill Medals this way.
A lot of them are, yes. To both modes. One for each episode for each mode. Just have to beat it.
Hmm...
Claire's is 20 minutes tops unless you're looking for collectibles, 10 when you know what you're doing. Barry's is about the same length as Barry's Episode 3, but better paced.

Ugh, PS3 version started lagging in episode 4 Barry. Picture is freezing for little under a second after every few hits or other occurances. Is there a patch for this version? If so, how big?
Still kept playing though, episode 4 was amazing. Got the bad ending though, so I'll have to go back.

Oh man, if you thought Ep 4 was amazing with the bad ending, I'll be interested to hear what you think of Ep 4 with the much more involving good ending.
I'm not sure if non PS4 users are having issues with RE.net, but what I've experienced is really getting on my nerves.
Ever since RE.net support launched, not only extra time is needed to establish the synch, but 8 times out of 10 for me, the connection doesn't to work and I end up waiting for around 2 minutes for the game to finally tell me that RE.net is not available.
Capcom needs to fix their shit up.

EEK!
Just when I thought I had seen all the nightmare fuel this game has to offer, I encounter this in Raid. I'll just post the links since the character I'm using is a spoiler:

Since you insist on being nitpicky, no, that's not what it says. The first statement only comments on her willingness to betray if it benefits her goal. It doesn't say anything about an unwillingness to betray outside of her goal.
In other words, double check your if > then symbolic logic statements, or don't read so much into it to defend your heroine.
Thanks!
What the fuck at that ending.
Seriously, what the fuck.
I suppose I should play the episodes.
Also, does anyone else feel there's a supreme lack of costumes in Raid? Claire, Barry, and Moira have three as far as I can tell, and no one else has any, unless I'm missing something or remembering incorrectly. Are they going to try to sell them as DLC?
Moira's dead, Claire's in the hospital, Natalia is basically dead and now possessed by Alex Wesker, and god knows how Barry's going to get out of that pickle. Goddamn cliffhangers.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
No, you should replay and get the good ending.
To get the good ending, during the boss of Claire's Episode 3, when he has Claire pinned, switch to Moira and crawl forward. Keep crawling forward until
Moira picks up the gun and shoots Neil
Now jump straight to Barry's Episode 4 and beat it again for the true final boss fight, the good ending, and the post-credits epilogue.
Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet.
Also, Claire has
__four__
You got the Bad Ending. Good Ending is amazing and really easy to change to it.
Yep, super simple. Replay Claire Ep 3, use Moira instead, Quit when the episode is finished. Then hop on over to Barry Ep 4 and beat it again. That's all you need to do.
Yep.
In Claire's Episode 3, just run past everyone. Go from puzzle room to puzzle room. And again, when you get to the boss, and when the boss pins Claire, switch to Moira, and crawl forward to have Moira
shoot Neil
Then skip straight to Barry's Episode 4 and play through it again.
I'm eager to hear your impressions of the good ending, because it's SO GOOD.
She overcomes her fear of guns, so she overcomes fear in general. When she's caught under the rubble, the virus adapts to her and ends up saving her life. And in "The Struggle," one of the extra episodes, we learn Evgeny is able to extract her from the rubble.
I won't say anymore, though. What happens is so, so, SO GOOD.
And play on Casual to make it faster if you really want to rush it. Less enemies. You can literally skip every enemy in that chapter except the Boss Fight if you want. Though there's a couple that it's easier to just kill them (Meat conveyor room, Vulcanblubber in the sewers).
Also, you don't have to have played through a difficulty to select any chapter in it. If you've gone through the whole game on Normal you could load straight to Survival Ep 4 or Casual Ep 2 if you wanted to.
LOL, I know, right?WHY?!
They're the easiest enemies in Raid, but my goodness they're also the most terrifying.

I can read reviews till I pass out, but I want GAFs opinion.
Is this game worthy of my money? I loved RE 1-4. 5 was okay. 6 was absolutely terrible. I'm working my way through Revelations 1 right now and I feel it's the best RE title since 4.

Here's what GAF had to say... The following are from the last few pages of the OT note that I consolidated multiple posts from the same poster unless they were in response to someone else:
Did you see the ending? What a great send off for an RE fan.
(massive ending spoilers)WhenClaire came up in the helicopter I was all:
And thenBarry did his badass let me handle shit thing and I was all:
That post sums it up sir. Holy shit best one since RE2 IMO. That last stretch and climax was absolutely godlike.
(Separate post) This game was so great. Not enough good things to say about it. Definitely going to replay it a lot and really get into raid.
(Separate post) RE2 is still my favorite but this one has the best plot in the series IMO. It was very well done. I liked everything about it. This game also elevated Claire from being my favorite female character in a game to something downright untouchable
The villain was amazing.

Well then. Looks like I'll power through Revelations 1 and pick up 2 as soon as I can.
Thanks man!
I really liked Rev 1, but Rev 1 was designed to be a handheld title. Rev 2 was definitely designed with consoles in mind. I think you'll find it quite liberating in many respects.

Hmmm, good point. I keep forgetting it was on DS before everything else. Now I'm getting excited!

Grabbed the retail version last friday and got through Episode 1 with Claire and Barry and Episode 2 last with Claire only. Playing on Survival difficulty which I have to admit seems to strike a perfect balance but damn some of the bigger enemies take some real punishment. I personally like to kill all enemies in a level and so far it is on par with The Evil Within when it comes to resource management. You're basically left with a couple of bullets for each weapon which means you're only allowed to miss a couple of shots here and there so I would be careful about conserving ammo and making the most of your herbs (do not use these on partner characters....only on Claire and Barry as the younger girls regen health if left alone). Also it seems like a 2-3 hit kill from most enemies so these two factors make the game really tense meaning the environments and encounters pack a lot more punch and contributes to helping the game live up to it's survival horror roots.
So i'm quite enjoying it so far. The game does feel a bit cheap in some places - lots of clipping and very average graphics (wtf is up with the back of Natalia's head?!) but the atmosphere and lighting more than make up for it (as it did with The Evil Within). Awesome spooky locales with a great use of scarce lighting sources that sets the mood perfectly. The graphics and textures are quite simple but they get the job done quite well imo.
Pretty dissapointed there is basically no online features. I thought the main campaign and Raid mode were both online co-op but it looks like these features will come out on 31st March. A bit misleading advertising this stuff before it is ready imo because I remember a lot of the buzz around this game being in the online stuff. As such I think the Raid mode although fun is quite useless.....really don't see the point of running around by yourself shooting stuff when you are completely overpowered. Would be much better to have 4 people all guns blazing, making a stand etc etc. Basically Left 4 Dead but Resident Evil....but yea don't know why I thought they might try for something a little bit fun and interesting with the Raid mode, again I distinctly remember people chatting about Raid mode being co-op but for the time being this feature seems to have been conjured up in peeps dreams.
All in all a goodsingle player game but anyone looking for co-op would be best advised to wait it out. Also $89 AUS is VERY expensive imo, I would not pay this price again knowing all I got were a few outfits (a couple of real skimpy ones for Claire and Moira) and characters for Raid mode (currently a useless mode imo). You'd would be much better off downloading all the chapters individually as they might wear a bit thin by the time you get to Episode 4. The retail version also came with 2 extra chapters, I don't know how long these are and if they are playable with both Claire and Barry but with Bloodborne coming out in a couple of days I would be surprised if I ever get to even try these out. The game seemed to get better the more I played it with Episode 2 having some real classic RE moments like extra characters tagging along (love this in games, makes the world feel poulated and gives you some much needed help/backup) and much better environments for encouters and exploring.
About a 7 - 7.5 from me, but could go higher the more I play it. The variety in content is actually very good so i'd imagine it can only get better the more I play it. Gunplay feels very solid also and the punishing difficulty is definately one for oldskool fans.

The virus adapts to her?
Hey ugh_the_boot, not sure how you were playing Raid, but you won't feel overpowered if you aim for the five medals, which require you to 1) lower your level to the recommended level, 2) never use herbs, and 3) defeat all the enemies (even if the exit appears earlier). You have to do all of the above in one run to get all five medals. Trust me, it gets tough.
I'm not sure if it's said outright or implied, or in the files or whatever, but I recall people discussing it in the spoiler thread here.
It's not outright said but you'll notice that her bracelet was completely red during the intro of the struggle chapter yet she never mutated.
I wouldn't be against it, I mean...
She was
rather high in a tower about to explode
a bracelet that never changed.
And you said it right after I did. But that is a rather important detail to notice. It's the little things in life, ya know?

Oh, so when i reply back, i'm insisting on being nitpicky, but when someone else does, they're not?
And I'm not defending my "heroine." I couldn't care less about defending anyone, as it's not about that anyways. It's an error and i showed it.

Haven't used a single herb or missed any enemies. Not sure what you mean by 'lowering your level' because I started from the begining with a newly made character....although I was using Hunk (who had less skills unlocked but more weapon slots which were useless because you only start with 2 guns). I'm sure it will get harder but it just seems kinda pointless for me atm. I much prefer to have some sort of story going along with the proceedings, although I can appreciate if it is basically a more fleshed out version of the Mercenaries mode. Again will be so much better with co-op and heres hoping there are more than just 2 players (would be awesome with 4 or more).
Also what is it with the extra skimpy outfits for Claire and Moira? I don't remember Resident Evil being this heavy on the fanservice or maybe the graphics were never good enough for it to be distracting? I'm constantly telling myself to not stare at the girls butts as the run around lol....and no way am i changing the outfits back to defaults, they're way too good.
Each mission has a recommended level. At the deployment screen, hit Square (or the Xbox/PC equivalent) and lower your level to the recommended level. This is required to truly clear a stage.
Resident Evil has had cheesecake costumes for a long, long time now.
Edit: Starting all the way back in RE1: http://residentevil.wikia.com/Unlockable_costumes_in_Resident_Evil
And imo, Rebecca rocks her cowgirl costume way better than Claire: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net...Costume.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120709170335

Yea like I said nothing as skimpy as the ones in Revalations 2. The police and cheerleader outfits I have to admit are ve3ry revelaing but i've never seen those before.....not sure what Resident Evil deadly silence is.
Also i've been playing Resident Evil before most people here probably knew what it was....I had a mate from Japan give me a copy when the original came out and it was called Biohazard and i've 100% them all (i used to have the worlds best speed run on Code Veronica on Dreamcast for approx 2 weeks.

I'll fist bump you for that one
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
It's very doable. My countdown playtime was 2 hours and 10 minutes (it's a bit silly this mode doesn't count for unlocking the rocket launcher), and you can do campaign even faster if you play on casual (I'm pretty sure countdown is based on normal difficulty) and use bonus weapons.
