Resident Evil 6 - Discussion (Must Read!)

Well Capcom said that the amount of ammo was all the same, so I trust them there, it's just that they didn't take that into account. I trust them but they're still stupid.

That makes sense, but if it's all the same, it's like having less ammo, ifsofacto.

Did anybody else think that Chris kinda stole the show in RE6?

Okay, so I think I remember reading somewhere that Chris was only added into RE6 later on, because the developer's loved the idea of having Leon And Chris in the same game. Whether that's true or not, Chris' File was really a highlight of the game, despite it playing more like an action game than the others, especially Leon's.

He had some fun lines too. Just fun everything. "Can the chatter". Piers was definately a better BSAA sidekick partner than a certain other, but yeah, Chris totally stole the show, despite being in RE5 and a more recent RER, he hasn't gotten stale, though I've mentioned to someone else that I think he should be passed over for the next time, just because he's been used so frequently lately.

Chris' scenario was definitely the best but I actually think the last chapters of Leon's campaign stole the whole show

Sadly I've found Jake's scenario to be kinda... dull. I'm loving the characters but overall, not my thing.

I know what you mean. I don't know, the last chapter for Jake seemed a bit lackluster. The ending for Leon felt rushed, I think that the chopper coming for Chris wasn't necessary. Ada's campaign felt empty, but I enjoyed everything to an extent.

Haven't yet played Jake's final chapter but the only things I've actually enjoyed thus far in his scenario, aside from the characters, are the occasional meetings with Ustanak and the snowy mountain part. Otherwise it just seems bland. The underground bug puzzle was ridiculously easy and kinda weird, too.

Btw. I'm playing as Sherry.

If you think Jake's campaign is dull, you're really not going to like his last chapter. It gets a little ridiculous.

LOL! I'm guessing that was the BSAA. How did they find him?

Chris' scenario was my favorite. Hate the ending though. But, I thought his story was the strongest out of the 4. He had great character development and overall it didn't feel rushed like some of the others. Ada's is my second favorite. It would've been nice if at least one of her secrets was exposed though. Like who she works for, or even some background about herself. I understand that she's suppose to be one of those mystery characters, but it feels like we'll never find out anything about her.


My least favorite scenario was Jake's. Too many plotholes, chapter 3 was the worst, didn't like the final boss, and I didn't like Jake that much either. It was pretty cool to see Sherry though.

Well I mean of course it's BSAA, but why do we need to see that? It's useless. More useless than Piers zapping the final boss one last time. Honestly, if the creature was still alive one more zap powerful enough to kill it was powerful enough to kill Chris as well, because that thing was basically hugging his escape pod.

I think it was there just to show the players that Chris was going to be rescued. If they didn't include a helicopter and just cut straight to the epilogue; people would've wondered on how Chris made it home. For Piers though, I'm a bit confused. Because when they showed the facility, he disappeared. The place was already coming down and I would think that if he did fire that lightning bolt, they would've showed him or at least his shadow in front of the place Chris's pod was at.

mercy mercy mecy, again overanalyzing, everything. The helicopter wasn't THAT necessary, but wasn't UNnecessary either. It didn't take anything away from the experience, plus the monster coming after chris at the end and Piers stopping it was to show that even though Piers was going to die, he cared enough for the mission and saved his captain that one final time. And fine if you electocute the creature and kill Chris, Piers sacrifice would be pointless. And fine, chalk it up to the escape pods metalic materials not effecting Chris whatever, it's hardly relevant, it's plotholes and dumb gameplay bugs and AI that one should worry about with the RE experience, not knitpicking details that nobody was even remotely bothered by. lulz

Y'know dude, you're completely right. I just can't help but be bothered by it. The chopper coming for Chris honestly didn't bother me as much as the Boss getting electrocuted, but sometimes I just can't enjoy things for what they are. The emotional conclusion with Peirs shoving Chris into the escape pod was shattered when the boss kept coming for him. And yes you're right, it didn't necessarily take from my whole experience, but it just didn't add anything. Yeah. I have a problem.

@Yuna: Well the escape pod's existence was to make it back home. The viewer could have implied he was picked up by a chopper. I think it was good that they didn't show Piers after he shot the bolt of lightning; here's why that was good storytelling wise: we never saw a body and we don't know exactly how he died, in the epilogue Chris is eating steak in a bar in memory of his fallen soldier and friend. Suddenly a figure approaches him and addresses him by "Captain." By this point everyone thinks it's Piers and he somehow made it out! Chris looks up and it's someone else. That moment of "Is he actually alive?!" is a good reason to not display his death onscreen. It's a shock and a letdown, and it shows Chris' perseverance to continue. Just the fact that everything is reminding him of Piers is touching.

Just got RE6 and I've started playing it, and so far I think it's awesome. It feels like a Resident Evil game but it's brilliant.

Which story are you doing first? I started with Leon's just because he was sorta the Main Main character as the devs say.

Yeah, I started on Leon's. I haven't done Chris or Jake's so nobody ruin it for me!

I keep trying but he's too frigid.

I love how RE6 was released on October 2nd, the day Raccoon fell

I wonder how big it is.

I think he stands 7 inches tall.

That's what she said.

Anybody got a meme for that one?

That statue reminds me, though, that I think we have now two RE guys with serious body issues. What Chris has packed on in riidiculous steroid abuse, Leon has lost due to seemingly acute anorexia. Or bulimia, up to him.

In RE4 the mister was athletic.
I mean, anorexic was an exaggeration, yes, but in RE6 he's definitely scrawny. Hm... maybe my standards are off.

The only thing that bothers me slightly is some of the quick time events. They annoyed me before, they annoy me now, and they'll annoy me for the entirety of their existence.
