RE6 first impressions (completely spoiler free)

Ok, I'm halfway through Leon campaign so even if I wanted I couldn't spoil anything anyway. Only a couples of things to say so far:

1 - The exp. points are to buy skills at the end of each chapter. You can only have three skills at the same time, kind of like pokemon.
2 - You can choose infinite ammo any time you want. So far it wasn't necessary.
3 - There are quite a reasonable ammount of puzzles.
4 - Waaaay too many quick time events.
5 - It's been pretty fun so far, and it seems it'll take a loooong time to beat the main story.
6 - Some of the demo issues were fixed, for example the screen tearing.
7 - I saw Ada naked

It's too bad that trailer was removed from gamescon. It was the best one.

That is cool that you use skill points for abilities that is what i wanted

What difficulty level are you playing on? Kinda dissapointed that Leon's campaign doesn't force you to conserve ammo. Although, I'm happy to hear about the puzzles.

Are the melee attacks still overpowered?

it probably still is but doing like bulldogs and kicking head's off are fun and helena with dropkicks and elbow drops! it feels awesome to do wrestling moves on zombies just saying

Don't get me wrong, the melee attacks are fun, but I want to be challenged.

I'm guessing on Professional difficulty, your stamina will drain almost instantly.

yeah that is true i want to be challenged to. but i think in the harder settings the stamina will be drained faster in my opinion and if you don't have a herb then the stamina will take longer to recharge so it will be a best bet to keep some in the harder settings

I wonder if you beat it on Veteran, do you get the achievements for the lower difficulties too? or do you have to go back and beat it on amateur and normal?

Hmmm not sure but i know in RE5 you had defeat each setting separately to get the trophies/achievements

That's a stupid waste of time.

I'm playing on Normal, Melee attacks sometimes worked great at the beginning but I stopped using them afterwards......I didn't notice the stamina bar at first so you can't overused those attacks, otherwise you become easy target

yeah same in the demo with me if you don't have any herbs you can't run very fast

Seems to me I'll be going on Veteran in Leon scenario. Challenge ftw.

FFFFFFFF.... I knew this would happen. For the love of all that is holy, NOBODY LIKES THAT CRAP!

What? No you don't. I have the Recruit trophy for beating the game on Amateur and I've never even played it on that difficulty.

Oh well i guess i just did it first on recruit then amatuer and stuff haha

Ada naked? tissues and moisturizing cream at the ready.

You saw ADA naked!? Not that i care but my friend just wants know what part it is!

Right. A friend. Sure.

I just finished Leon campaign.....it felt sort of empty and without too much of a closure, like I wanted more things explained but it seems they want to keep the franchise going for a long time. I'm going to continue with Chris now.
You can play Mercenaries any time you want to grind on skill points.


BTW, the xbox version has 2 discs, I still have no idea what the second one is for.

hmm i see. How long is leon's campaign?

took me 8 hours

If it's 8 hours for each campaign then damn that's 24 hours plus when you beat ada's campaign the game might be 30 hours all together

Well that or things will be explained in the other campaigns. Yet, I haven't played any so I don't know to what extent you're talking about concerning closure.

And since PS3 can hold more memory on Blu-Ray, maybe it takes more on DVD.

closure in terms of story, the lack of files doesn't help

Hmm.. Well I do suppose we could look forward to Resident Evil 7 with Jill and Claire.
