Resident Evil: Revelations 2 |OT| Yeah, but it's only $25

Been putting off Invisible Mode, but I restarted doing it. Man, I really just don't enjoy playing these to be honest. I get it's part of the challenge, but I'm at the end of Claire/Moira's episode 2 now, the boss fight, and I just hate getting killed and having no idea what it is I'm even up against. It becomes annoying after awhile. I wanted to get these to finish out the challenges and cheevos, but I'm not sure if I will.

Holy shit, episode 1 was great. If RE5 or Evil Within
or RE4
were like this, the world would've been a better place. This feels much more like the natural evolution of survival horror than all the others (within the realm of modern gaming).
Hope they keep it up, even though the ep2 preview looked like it might possibly drop the ball.

Sandwich gag was also great. And some of those Barry lines... amazing. Also, thank god the partner characters don't really talk that much.

I think you are gonna be pleasantly surprised. ;D
 
I'm really pleased with how this game turned out. There were plenty of reasons to hate it- the cheap visuals, the shameless theft of mechanics from other games, the microtransactions, the PC splitscreen debacle, the heavy recycling of RE6 content- but the game turned out to be a lot of fun in spite of all of that.

It also has one of my favorite tracks in all the series (chapter end theme): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqX0V-Q4czw

I didn't have much confidence in RE7, but as long as they build on this approach and forget about RE6 it should turn out great.

This theme is so fuckin' good. Reminds me of the RE save room music.

@SpielerEins: You'll love this game.

Capcom did not mess up anything. These are all aliases.

Claire's is actually Ali Hillis.
Alex's is in fact Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, that's one of her more used aliases.

Try googling any of them, you won't find ANY information about them.. because these people don't exist.

I...kinda covered this already in a follow up post.
However Ali Hillis apparently denied playing the character at all, though she is listed as having played Jessica in the first game (uncredited).

The cause for the Raid mode crashes/uploading data freeze bug has been found on PC:
Originally posted by Cae:
Okay, I believe I've found the root cause of this issue.

Consider that:
1) The leaderboards never hang when checking global leaderboards, just friends only leaderboards
2) Raid mode hangs if you check stage list which has a friends only leaderboard.

The cause for this is something with the functionality that checks your friends scores and having too many people on your friends list causes it to fail. Everyone who has posted in this thread so far has 100+ friends. Some people who said theirs is working fine had ~50.

I family shared the game to my alt account (with 1 friend) on same system and tried raid mode. No hangs, my mains scores show up on leaderboards fine. Also explains why Capcom can't reproduce it because I doubt their test accounts have 100 friends.

I'll take a lifetime supply of free Capcom games as a reward if this is it, thanks ;)

One of the devs on that steam forum has forwarded this info to Capcom Japan and hopefully we'll get a hotfix soon. If you can't wait, having 99 friends or less will let you play raid mode on PC w/o any problems.
 
Countdown mode is freaking rough, the worst is if you screw up and run into a check point at the wrong time it will mess up the entire run which will force you to restart from the beginning.
 
They kinda need to patch the sploders in Raid, if you die and revive they shouldn't stay huddled over your body.

Did that Chinese map on the waterfront, died somehow, use a revive as soon as im up 3 explode on me instantly killing me again.

Other enemies seem to get knocked back at least.

So, how the fuck are you supposed to do Claire and Moira's boss battle at the end of chapter 2 in Invisible Mode? I've tried this like twenty times, and just feels impossible.

Just collect every bottle and gunpowder you can find, there's quite a few in Claire Ep 2. Burn them on the guy's spawn point, should go down pretty fast.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
What'a the best sniper and shotgun for Raid? Muramasa and Drake?

Muramasa is great gun with huge damage, but really low capacity. I like an 1891 with burst 1 and electric ammo. One of those two bullets is gonna proc the electricity. Course 2 bullets per pull is pricey without rifle mastery

I think the Muramasa has the best sight tho

Love that drake though. Hard to use anything else once you've had one

Just finished the campaign. Unfortunately I got the bad ending.

That being said, this is definitely one of the better Resident Evil games. I still like RE4 and RE5 more but this one is about as close in quality as RE5 IMO.

8/10
 
15 minutes in, and this already shits all over Rev 1. I remember people calling that game a return to form, but it was pretty much RE5/6 Lite, now with less explosions and terrible gunplay.

Is there a difficulty toogle to Invisible Mode that I don't know about or...something? I watched a quick playthrough of where I'm at, and the hell, the bomber goes down like nothing at all. It doesn't make any sense at all...

I'm still on chapter 2, but I'm feeling this is the RE everybody wanted for years. The reviews are a little puzzling.

Have you lvl'd subweapons at all in "skill settings"?

Okay, so I did it this time, and he died after two fire bombs, and two shotgun shots to the head. So, whatever, it's done with that bullshit, but I think maybe there was something glitchy going on because it really didn't make any sense.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
On top of all their other bullshit, I just found out scagdead's have an instant kill grab.

fucking why.

So you can spend money on the gems.

jk, they are really annoying though, and that's pretty much been the only way that I can finish any mission with one of those dudes. I mean they can run right at you and insta-kill, it's kinda bullshit.

Beat it and got the bad ending. And it was pretty frickin bad. I'm kind of pissed.

Debating to replay to get the good one or just watch it on Youtube

The true final boss fight is only in the good ending. It's not just a different cutscene. There's an extra fight in an all-new setting.

Some of the later ones throws 3-4 of them at you in a single mission. :x

Yeah, but not at once.

You can stagger them with a good damage magnum, especially with electric rounds and bonus damage to electrocuted targets.

I put in the anti-material rifle since it packs huuuuuge damage so I can just unload on them, since I mainly want them out of the picture as quickly as possible.

it was worse in rev1 where it had literally no animation or startup and instantly went into a grab state after the monster said an audio cue.
the new attack at least has some startup though the animation isn't as pronounced as it should be

also once again: shoot them in the legs to stagger them!

Since I already took snapshots of the Good Ending. I figured I'd complete the photo collection with shots from the Bad Ending this time around. As short as it is, I think it had some great shots.
There's a shot in the good ending where
everyone is in the helicopter, and it's a closeup of Moira smiling or laughing with Claire looking on
. I wonder if you could get that shot? Either way, awesome work!!
