Rev 1's soundtrack was great, but RE5's can't be topped, imo. If Metal Gear Rising didn't exist. I'd say Winds of Madness is easily the best boss theme of last generation. Such a fan-fucking-tastic theme for Wesker.
Glad I'm not the only one that loves that Umbrella Chronicles track. If the series on the whole had to have one main theme, that'd be it.
Edit: Shoutout to Code Veronica's soundtrack (and it's Darkside Chronicles arrangements), too.

well, Bayonetta 2 came out in 2014 but I appreciate that sentiment
Truly a microcosm for Resident Evil 6 in general.
Oh, I totally agree RE5's "Winds of Madness" is one of the best boss themes ever. Up there with "It Has To Be This Way" from Metal Gear Rising.
"Winds of Madness" is to Resident Evil as "One Winged Angel" is to FFVII or "Duel of the Fates" is to Star Wars. Simply fantastic.
But on the whole, the Rev 1 OST is SO GOOD. The piano and drum loop for cliffhangers, the main theme, the ballroom, the sunken ship, the final boss, etc. So, so, so good.

Honestly, I can't think of a single RE game that had absolutely no tracks I liked in it. While some soundtracks are better than others, and music taste is all opinionated and all that, I don't think many would argue RE has a pretty strong history of very strong songs, ranging from be atmospheric and creepy, beautiful and peaceful, bombastic and intense, incredibly catchy, or the like.
Edit: And yes. Winds of Madness was a fantastic boss theme, and was perfect for the fight against Wesker, something the series had been building up for a while.
The following Wesker boss song in the volcano wasn't nearly as good, but not bad. It's all good anyway, as the fight against Wesker with Winds of Madness playing was the better Wesker fight, anyway.

Like in FFXII, if you remember the main theme, then you are likely remembering most of the game's soundtrack.
There were six titles on my 2014 GOTY list. I played many more than six but picked the six I found most memorable.
They went:
1) The Evil Within
2) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
3) Bayonetta 2
4) Mario Kart 8
5) Shovel Knight
6) Alien: Isolation
Honestly, though, I think any of those six titles would be a worthy overall GOTY. But TEW surprised me and delighted me the most.

I read people's responses to the patch and it was just like any other patch...it helped some people and not others
My main problems was the major FPS hit on certain areas with effects or big lighting. Outside of those areas I can go 60 FPS all the time with everything maxed (though what they said was "High" shadows was really "Low" which has been fixed now apparently).

it's kinda crazy how good the darkside chronicles arrangements are for the CV stuff since it's a one off random side game.
like having the alexia sequence go from alexia 1 to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDFIIeko7Gk (during the linear railgun/transformation sequence) to alexia 2 is so good

Reminds me how disappointed I was at Chris's MvsC3 theme, really should have been Chris' CV opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-DnpOdkKIg
what the hell was his theme a remix of anyways? i've seen sites list it as "burning with anger" but there's no way that can be right as they have basically nothing in common composition wise

Yeah his theme was pretty uninteresting in MVC3.
At least Jill and Weskers were good.

Darkside Chronicles has a stupidly good soundtrack, which is why it's one of my favorites. Not only does it have some amazing renditions of Resident Evil 2 and Code Veronica songs, it's original music is also stupidly good. It also has the most orchestrated music of any RE game. The production values for Darkside Chronicles in general were really high.
Just to touch base on a few favorites of mine in Darkside Chronicles;
Sleeping Beauty (Ending Version) [Original Song]
T-B Theme [RE2 Remix]
Insanity Palace [Code Veronica Remix]
Game of Oblivion [Original Song]
The Palace of the Suspended Doll [Code Veronica Remix]
Sorrow [Original Song]
Theme of Alexia II [Code Veronica Remix]
Blood Judgement [Original Song]
And there's a lot of other really good ones.

Admittedly I'm only 4 missions into Raid Mode but I'm really liking it. I've only used Hunk so far. I may get Wesker started after I finish out the last couple one star Gauntlet 1 missions for Hunk.
It runs like ass though, which is a shame cause the game is friggen good.

Darkside Chronicles, an one off random side game?
The developers recreated the game with care this time, really improved the production values over Umbrella Chronicles, and that includes music that is going to be as good as any proper Remake,even brought the original composers of RE2 and CV back.
They knew DC was going to be the closest thing to a CV remake, in a looong time...

just the main campaign + bonus episodes and Hunk I think. The retail disc has the dlc costumes and Wesker and Hunk as well iirc

Turn the flamethrower first then activate the valve. You can't get it until Barry's part.
Are there any items in the newly unlocked rooms that I should get before? Is there anything you get for killing any enemies with the flame? I basically did it by using the blades but accidentally destroyed it with Fire lmao

There might be some ammo/jewels but it isn't really that important. You don't get anything extra for killing the dudes with fire.

I think there's just ammo and a jewel on the ceiling in one of the cells so not really much to worry about

Went offline to play Raid and not i'm stuck at the game uploading after completing the stage. There's no way around that is there?
EDIT: I guess the offline trick doesn't work if you set it to not be able to connect through windows firewall with advanced security. Since it seems to think it's online when you beat a stage.
Looks like you have to actually unplug completely from the internet with this game.

You can crouch underneath the blades 😊
Hooray, I'm home and I'm going to DL episode 2 now.
Oh snap.
You guys need to hug it out...and then admit that Sunset Overdrive was 2014's best.

This damn timed door is driving me insane. How are you supposed to get past it?

The blades on the side? Didn't seem like there was any room to crouch under.
I'll have to check or see a playthrough at that part.

After having played Raid Mode with Hunk's 4 weapon slots already unlocked I look at the other characters with locks on theirs and I'm like "...damnit"...lol

Split your characters.
hold down the switch character button and push up or down on the D-pad to issue your partner a demand. then open the door and switch.

I'm assuming you're not meant to get past the blue door inside the gate as Claire, then? Because you need both characters for that...

I just bought it and it's downloading at the moment. As a huge Alien fan, I'm excited...
and scared
Alright, beat it with both. Felt a little meatier or maybe I just took it slower, It took me around 2 and a half hours this time.
They really like making the final section for Claire fucking tough it seems, lol.
There's a box to push to block the gate from closing. Though I just barely made it by running.

Look around the other side of the gate, I'm sure you'll find out how to solve that issue.
