So I played thru my first chapter last night - Chris 1 since I'm following the guide in the OP. I wish the camera was pulled back a little more, but it controlled fine was an enjoyable hour. I did get really low on ammo and items by the end, even though I tried to melee as much as possible and I had the Item Drop skill equipped.

The most disappointing thing was more personal - an accuracy rate of only 49%. One of the reasons I liked RE 4 so much was that you had the time and space to consistently hit with 80% of your shots (90%+ on the Wii). I just prefer that type of slower paced gunplay to what RE 6 seems to be like.

Yeah, that's right. By the way, it is safe to quit out just after shooting the emblem. I've done that myself with a few emblems. Although in this case it's so close to the end of the chapter you might as we finish it and get it marked as completed in another difficulty.

Really? That's great!

Chris Ch. 1 + 2 are definitely the most hectic chapters in the game. You'll have your breathing room soon enough, though. I think you'll appreciate Leon's campaign (and Jake's, to a degree) for this reason as well. That being said, you can steady your aim with the appropriate skills equipped, but also you'll just naturally get better at shooting under pressure. Good to hear you're focusing on dazing with melee, though -- that's definitely the best option when feasible. Save that ammo!

Then, you're probably playing it right. After all, that's usually what makes an RE game the most exciting, that feeling of "will I last 'til the end of this chapter?"

Yeah, RE6, in a lot of ways feels more like a marriage of Onimusha and Godhand than a numbered RE game.

Jake's final segments were my favorite. Chris' was pretty cool too. The writers could've worked on Leon a little bit more.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Spoiler

Oh? I'm curious, what was her ultimate creation? The C-Virus? I know that Haos was about 70% complete when Chris and Piers fight it, though its lower body was still developing. Its purpose was to reach the surface and rapidly multiply so it could excrete the infection gas across the world, which it could expel at a much faster and condensed rate than the Infector enemies could. The English files at least keep on mentioning that the underwater facility was made for BOW creation, namely as an incubator of Haos, and was their ultimate weapon.

Her ultimate creation is Wesker clones

You hear it first.

Ah. Hmm. Yeah I haven't gotten through a lot of the game yet because I was waiting on my friends to play at first, but waiting on them and/or having a lot of school work to do kind of makes it hard. So I started playing solo, which has been fine so far. I've been doing the chronological order and have done the first two of Chris, then first two of Jake, and started Leon's first chapter. I definitely like this way so far, because the stories by themselves seem too disjointed and short when you're running straight through one campaign.

I did play a little of Jake's 3rd chapter just to see what it was like and

Spoiler

so much white! Somehow it makes it one of the coolest locations I've seen yet in the game. It's really weird. And the J'avo wearing those suits is kind of odd but funny.

On Ada's story

Spoiler

It seemed tacked on all for the excuse of having a clone that confuses everyone. If there were hints of this guy's obsession backstory in previous games I would have tolerated it better.

However, like someone said she's never supposed to be explained fully. She's working for herself and her own goals in the end though.

But somehow always makes time to save Leon or do some sort of good.

you even look like him... lol

That's the voice/face model.

This game on Professional seems quite a bit more manageable than RE5. Leon's campaign anyway. However the game absolutely refuses to give me green herbs it seems, unless they are those that you can already pick up. Final chapter for Leon professional then I'll start Chris which I imagine will be harder.

And I replayed RE5 up to Chapter 2-2 last night, and I still much prefer it to this game. However, Chris was
A) Way bulkier here. I noticed his arms were toned down in 6 but I didn't realize just how much.
B) WAY dumber. They seem to have went out of their way to make him borderline handicapped mentally in RE5.
C) The VA is so much better in 6. It's good in 5, but maybe he had better things to work with in 6. Although Chris has a much better personal arc in 6.

Does anyone have a list of where all the emblems are? I got 40/80 emblems on my first run, so I wanna run through on Amateur and get the rest.

 

[Daigoro]

so far the only one of the original 3 Mercs maps i like is Urban Chaos. Steel Beast is ok and Depths seems like a real pain in the ass.

i own Catacombs and from what ive seen Railyard and high Seas both look cooler than the other 2 original maps.

maybe i just need to get used to them. Depths especially is so annoying though.

 

[Nemesis_]

Man, Steel Beast is like, the worst map ever. It's clearly designed for the mutliplayer modes they're bringing out with six player compatibility rather than the two player mercs. It's too fucking big.

Excellent, I could only find the IGN video guides which aren't all that good.

And yeah I have no idea how you're supposed to keep a 150 combo on Steel Beast, that map is retarded.

 

[beastmode]

Thanks to those who replied to my playthrough order. I'm going to stick with the OP version, I'd rather the game end on a high note (Leons ending) than be bummed out when it's finished (Jake?)

Really tempted to just start again and play Leon/Chris then Jake just because the jumping around kinda puts me off...but you guys have said that Jakes ending isn't exactly a great one, compared to Leons at least. :/

What do I do...

Leon's ending flows a lot better after Chris 4.

For ending on a high-note I would do Leon 5 -> Jake 5 -> Chris 5. Chronologically it should be Leon 5 -> Chris 5 -> Jake 5.

Haha the OP lists the chronological order the complete opposite of how you listed it, ie Jake > Chris > Leon. The thing is, I don't get why that is, because the cutscenes quite clearly make it your way.

Guess it don't matter much, I did it the OP way and it was fine, though it kind of sucked because I ended with the worst one, instead of the best one.

 

[Ezi0]

Managed to get a 141 combo going with default Leon on Urban Chaos (solo). Ran out of time before I could reach 150 .

 

[Daigoro]

thats pretty damn good. what place did that get you?

i only just manages to get my first S rank on solo using Sherry today on the same map. only had like a 74 combo or something though.

The emblems in Ada's campaign must be hidden ridiculously well, I only found like 1 or 2 a chapter. Though I didn't really try as much as the other campaigns.

Almost hit a mill in mercs. Apparently I've played over 12 hours of it. Great stuff.

I honestly thought Chris's voice acting in this game was great.

"Witness?! SHE'S THE BITCH WHO DID ALL THIS!"

"But captain, your emotional toll is interfering with-"

"Shut up Piers!"

Actor did an awesome job. So much anger.

 

[Grisby]

Chris's VA is consistently awesome. In fact, all of the characters had good voices in 6.

Troy Baker makes Jake.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Chris chapter 5 was one of the most awesome things EVER.

Me: "Up to Sherry/Jake! Yeah!"

First chapter was hor-ri-ble. Seriously, the finale felt like a baaaad N64 game... Why this filler crap?

 

[Ezi0]

thats pretty damn good. what place did that get you?

i only just manages to get my first S rank on solo using Sherry today on the same map. only had like a 74 combo or something though.

I think it was around 480. It's probably lower now.

Keep at it. If you can get an S rank there is no reason why you can't get a higher combo.

Does it get super bad after the leon levels?, if not i fail to see why some of the reviewers give it the score they did.

I agree, RE6 has the best VA of any RE game, however the game transcends that and just has a great cast all around.

And yes, Troy Baker is amazing.

I'd argue that all of Leon's campaign was the worst the game had to offer.

Really wish RE.net stayed up to date. I want to know what Helena's second alt is but I'm 5000 points short on the site and I know I have enough.

Also unrelated, where is the third combo bonus in Urban Chaos? I know the one on the top of the bridge area and the one outside of the map but can't find the last.

 

[Evolved1]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Sherry's character/performance in RE6.

In fact I would be fine with her being a main protagonist again in RE7.... but I think they should give her longer hair in the next iteration. Her healing and character in general was interesting. She was a surprise.

Piers is still my least favorite, but he's not terrible. Jake had some good lines, was well acted, but I really don't like his design. I try to never use the word generic, but I think his look (from the shoulders up) is kinda generic. Helena was alright, but she was the most hokey character in the game... a couple of her moments that were intended to be emotional fell awkwardly flat.

But I enjoyed the whole cast. Especially coming off the demo where I was a little disappointed we had three no-names in the game instead of characters like Jill, Claire, or Rebecca. Or hell even Sheva.

I still would have preferred the older characters, but these new ones weren't as bad as I thought they'd be.

Is there a way to post a pic of this when you get it? I'm close to my 3rd unlock, and can't decide if I want Chris' alt or Helena's.
