I feel ya. Finished a coin run and even on Easy it's sorta weird and feels inconsistent when using normal rounds.
That would've been neat. The finale was rather weak and lacked some serious 'oomph' unlike, say, RE5.

I only used the Albert for a bit on my third playthrough (on Normal). IIRC it can take down Jack and regular molded in like three hits. It's more of "if you're having trouble with early-game Madhouse" crutch, since handgun ammo is relatively plentiful (had over 60 by the time Mutant Jack rolled around).
About to enter the mines on Madhouse, wondering if i can skip the the "last" room (the one with 2 enemies and a ladder) using a stun granade...it works on easy and normal, but i have my doubts that it's gonna be that easy on Madhouse
After this i'm only missing the 3 heals per run achievement and i'm all set...waiting for the dlc :|

There are now three trip wire bombs (i.e. from Lucas' stage) guarding the ladder. You can shoot them down, but even a straight run to and up the ladder is difficult without using neuro rounds on the fat molded first. They kept knocking me off partway.
The rocket launcher would have done it in one.
Its not that simple on madhouse... only read if you wana avoid the dread lol
bombs on the ladder that you'll have to shoot or blow up
And it would also take up 2/3rds of your expanded inventory. And using it causes Ethan to fly back ten feet and his left arm detaching.
Yeah was expecting something like that lol
Gonna be soooo fun
Not a Hero dlc gotta have a rocket launcher at the end come on
Yeah but then i remember they fucked it up by letting Sheva help to finish wesker off,it should've been jill.

Works for the BSAA's West African Branch. You can find emails from her in RE6. She knows Piers Nivans at the very least. Really hope they bring her back eventually. She was great.

This game gave me flashes of Elfen Lied in some ways.
Oh, didn't stop to read anything in RE6 because the pace is already so fucked up (and i like the game a lot lol)
She's still with the West Africa branch of the BSAA as of 2012. She sent an email to Piers acknowledging Chris's disappearance during RE6.
Same, feel like everybody (or Capcom at least) completely forgot about her. Although she wouldn't be the first.

Sheva
The forgotten trio
Guess we can throw hunk in there too, at least story wise

The Revelations series gives hope for stuff like this.
I really liked the song that played when Ethan is in the dream state with Jack and Zoe Baker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKQGOxH6rlI
I think I'd prefer something of that tone for the Safe Room music. I still like the one we got though.

What if the Not a Hero DLC has all those characters teaming up to rescue Chris because they come from a future where in he doesn't give Ethan the Albert at the end of RE7 which originally leads to complete global saturation caused by Evie's biological matter infecting the oceans
the first time i played through the game me and my co-op partner used up almost all our ammo besides magnum shots. we were getting wrecked in the war of attrition by wesker until he got stunned and i ran up, thinking it'd be the kill QTE
instead chris grabs onto wesker and im mashing for my life trying to hold onto him while my lifebar drains as my partner doesn't know what to do.
the dialogue has sheva wondering the same, and she notes that if she shoots at wesker, it'll hit chris as well.
as that happens, chris shouts "THEN SHOOT THROUGH ME!" and sheva fucking lights wesker up with the .44 magnum. i go into the red on the first shot. my partner fires the second shot without hesitation and triggers the kill cutscene.
that 'lil moment this was such a great gem to the point of where i wonder if it's even possible to actually game over/kill chris by accident during that bit because if that's the case then i probably experienced the best possible final boss fight of RE5. shit felt like a desperate struggle through to the end and enabling the act of his self-sacrifice through gameplay methods really cemented my love for chris, haha.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was an intentional Dragon Ball Z reference
RE5 Chris is pretty much his ultimate super saiyan form

Can someone help me clarify something with the story?
So I'm in the middle of my 2nd playthrough right now and when I selected Zoe for the Serum, I was left scratching my head at what the hell just happened.
I mean, I thought the entire point of the serum was to free you of Eveline's control, so why didn't it work on Zoe? What the bloody hell was even the point of spending half the game for something that doesn't even work?
And more importantly, if it didn't work on Zoe, then how is it supposed to save Mia?

I honestly believe that Zoe was meant to have a much larger or at least different role in the story. Her behavior during the phone calls was both bold and suspicious, like she had an ulterior motive or simply wasn't who she claimed. Or maybe they were setting her up to leave the estate with Ethan, Mia being killed.
From reading the documents left in the lab, presumably by Lucas, it states that the serum calcifies the Fungus cells in the body. If the body is too far infected, the serum becomes fatal (this makes sense as the fungus cells begin to replace the human cells as the infection progresses).
Zoe calcifying, but not Mia, is strange seeing that both Mia and Zoe appear to be free of Eveline's control and Zoe wasn't infected as long as Mia. I honestly see it as a plot hole.
Edit: If I'm recalling correctly, another big issue with this is that the documents say the serum has to be administered soon after the infection occurs or else it's guaranteed to be fatal. We see from Mia's flashback that Eveline can infect, overtake, and kill someone in an extremely short amount of time. Mia not calcifying after the serum is introduced makes absolutely no sense to me what so ever. She's been deeply infected for over 3 years!
TGO
Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Yeah I can finally join this thread.
really good game but it had fuck all to do with Resident Evil other than....was that suppose to be Chris Redfield at the end?
Seriously the Resident Evil part was taped on last minute, this game was something else beforehand and there is no if or buts.
And I ain't gonna argue about it, it is what it is.
what I will talk about though is Imposter Chris Redfield working with Umbrella or something?

That's the weird thing. In Mia's memories, Eveline killed multiple people,very quickly I might add, and none of them died via calcification. She has the ability to kill and infected host without killing her own fungus cells. Why Calcify Zoe when she could kill her in another manner?
Ok, I'll just accept that Eveline did it, but it's still a plot hole in my book lol.
The people in Mia's memories probaby died quickly because they weren't infected before so they were exposed and "overdosed" quickly from the fungus.
Meanwhile Zoe calcifies because she's been infected for a while, just like her parents.

Well the problem here is the serum itself. In the Zoe timeline it apparently does nothing. It did not free her from Eveline's control. But in the Mia timeline it somehow works despite having been infected far longer.
I agree. The 2nd half really did seem like it was bolted on halfway through development and any rewrites that occurred were done very hastily as the story just goes completely out of the window at this point.
Maybe Zoe's exposure to Eveline is similar to Mia's, and she too can resist the control? Could it be that Zoe was calcified when Eveline started trying to assert control? That would explain why Mia wasn't calcified, as the infection is sporadic with her and Eveline doesn't want her dead. So maybe the infection needs to be active to result in calcification.
It would sort of make the cure useless though.

HELL YEAH.
Isn't that why he hit the gym in the first place ?, He was toyed with by Wesker in Coder Vernoica X, hence why he started to get in shape.
AWESOME
How so? I thought the second half was good at, you know, make the game actually make sense.

I know in my case it was feeling that they failed in combining it all well. First half of the story is good. But then "grandma is the little girl and has mind control" was just meh to me. I think they could've done something better.
Then as lower posts state, there was some odd rules and decisions going on beyond that.
Zoe in her entirety just doesn't really fit the game well. I have no idea why they doubled down and made a pointless choice involving her when even the game is like "lol nah", kills her off immediately and teleports Mia to the ship so that part is the same. It's soooo dumb.
Not sure what you mean. "Overdosing" on a fungal infection doesn't make sense to me.
Which again, makes a plot hole. Marguerite calcifies because her fungal cells exhaust their ability to regenerate. Jack dies because the serum calcifies fungal cells, which in his case, the majority of his body was completely overtaken by them. In both cases, we see someone whose body is deeply infected due to years of fungal infection. If Zoe is like them then the serum should most definitely have killed her. This also calls Mia in to question.
If the serum did work on Zoe, like it did on Mia, then Zoe calcifying once again makes no sense.
I wasn't sure what word to use. I meant like a sudden overexposure.
True. I see what you mean now.
The whole "Mia or Zoe" thing sounds like they already had two endings planned but couldn't figure out how to make them happen so they settled on this. It definitely feels rushed.

It helps make sense of Evelyn's character at least.
But everything else just seems so rushed at this point.
Hell Lucas just sort of disappears after the Birthday puzzle despite his claims of having more surprises for you.
I died 3-4 Times to the 2 fattys because when you entering the room they are allready there and i was Short on First aid. Then finally i killed them no First aid left and i didnt Know about the traps xD
My second half:
You choose Zoe, and then the both of you end up being shipwrecked. You wake up to see Ethan standing beside you, you're now playing from Zoe's perspective with the former protagonist following you, but he can't fight because his left-hand is gone and well he's frankly tired of this bullshit. While inside the ship, Zoe and Ethan find the tape showing Mia's relationship to Evie. You discover that infected Mia is stalking the floors, brought on deck to fuck with you. Ethan chooses to stay in the VCR room while Zoe explores. She eventually finds Ethan's hand, returning it to him, only to be ambushed by Mia, where she chases her into that one room where Mia dies in the canon storyline. Ethan kills Mia to save Zoe.
Both her and Ethan exit the ship, ending up in the shack with the communications equipment. Zoe flips a few switches, sending a signal for help. You both hear Evie calling to you, and you get the option of choosing either character to finish the last stretch, while the other one waits for Redfield to sexily save the day.
And I finally realized what Ethan's end run in the game reminded me of- Evil Dead 2, when possessed Ash remembers who he is, and becomes the protagonist of the movie again.

Lucas will be the new Wesker. Wait til the next game where it's revealed Lucas is marguerite and albert's love child, and Jack didn't know Lucas wasn't his.
