Yeah, how generous of them to give us the opportunity to play that massive headache of a game again...I think I'll decline as well.

I once played it with two days lack of sleep and after work, and I couldn't find a black card and I was getting so pissed. I too got a headache. Also when fighting two tyrants. That gave me a headache.

I just got to that part yesterday, that and the Nemesis boss fight made me want to destory something because of how hard it was. lol

Try playing on professional by yourself getting the S+ rank if you want frustrating

Dude Normal is frustrating enough for me, I don't even want to know how hard Pro mode is......

The two Tyrant fight gets easier with Four Eyes. Use her reprogram BOW skill and use the Quickdraw feature to quickly put bullets in their heads.

Exactly. I mean RE5 on Pro was a bitch. But ORC on Normal...makes you wanna punch a baby.

I personally think it's not 100% canon but they do try and make it a different spin on the canon of the RE series, with new spins on old Scenarios, so I guess in a way it is canon but with its own new twist.

Parts are and parts aren't.

I kinda like some of the stuff they've shown, but on the whole ORC is so bad. It didn't really add as much to the whole Raccoon thing as much as I would've liked.

I hate seeing the Wolfpack characters. They all look pretty terrible. In that scene where you see Nicholai for the first time, seeing him next to you and your buds, he just looked tiny...maybe Beltway and the others are just a bit clunky and out of place in RE. In Raccoon City. It just didn't look right, or feel right.

I couldn't agree with you more..I guess it has its hits and misses but I did enjoy the game, personally I disliked RE5 a lot.. so this was awesome for me, to go back to Raccoon City where it's just zombies, BOW's and Tyrants..You're right, Nicholai looked out of place, small, weird and the Wolf pack members were disproportionate

You actually liked ORC better than RE5?

I mean, the zombies, the crimsons and other BOWs as well as just being in Raccoon, basically were the only fun parts for me.

The rest, the negative, IMO outweighted the positive.

Especially comparing it to RE5.

Yeah I know not many people will agree with me, but I thought RE5 was a pile of shit compared to the old games and I had more fun playing this than I did RE5, only because the whole parasite thing was cool in RE4 but got old quick with RE5.. and Christ Redfield going Christ Benoit Roid looking sucked.. as well as being forced to play with an AI partner or friend, just to make it through the story without annoyances. I'm not saying it was the worst RE game, but I waited years expecting it to be so cool and was disappointed with the over all finish I guess.

Chris started working out so he'll be ready for his face-to-face with Wesker. Capcom explained that. I mean it makes sense for him to strengthen up when he's fighting someone with super powers.

And he's not on roids. Just because someone is muscular, everyone says they're on steroids.

I still think he's on roids or something, considering that he can punch a 20 foot boulder and knock it over. lol

I AM ANDROID CHRIS I CAN PUT MY ARM BACK ON YOU CANT PLAY SAFE RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Adrenaline.

And it's a round boulder. It's not like he lifted it over his head. He knocked it over and made it roll.

I can't deny my own dissapointment.

I did like Chris though, I actually really like the way his character has grown. I liked him in his first appearance of course, but he was a little dull I think. You could see his action hero qualities come out in CVX. RE5 really just added to that. They've really honed Chris as a character I think.


Benoit, really? It's not like Chris was putting all the majini in the Crippler Crossface to make them tap out.

The AI was shit, bottom line. But, after playing ORC, I actually can't help but feel a little better about how stupid Sheva was...it seems better in comparision.

Actually, I found Sheva better than some of the people I've played online on Xbox Live.

At least Sheva would heal me or save me when grabbed. Plus she was pretty accurate with aiming during the boat parts.

I agree with you Spike991, What I was trying to say is that I feel like they're making a joke out of Chris, with the whole "I can punch through boulders with my Chris Benoit roid rage". Also how he went from an underdog to some Arnold Schwarzenegger character..I guess I just feel the same about Chris that I do about Leon... Grew up on both of them and love them as characters.. until 4 and 5 made them James Bond and Arni. I wish they would tone down on the un-realistic aspects of them now..

I think the best bit of the game really is down to Nicholai. He was always an intriguing character. It was great to see his ruthlessness in shooting his team, leaving them to be fed upon by the dead.

But, ORC had so much more potential. Who the hell would not have LOVED to see Mikhail Victor fighting with his squad at some point.

I would've loved to've seen that type of stuff.

I always had hoped that we'd have all kinds of little fun bits of stuff we didn't get to see in Raccoon with other games. They did have some cool stuff with Nemesis and Nicholai, though not much. Same with HUNK, I guess. Of course there's no cutscene browser, so we can't even really appreciate all the cool scenes.

Its called Capcoms quest of westernisation.

Japanese games used to be fantastic, like Final Fantasy (though not my cup of tea) when japanese developers did what they did best. Now, they try to copy the American influence on videogames and the japanese are trying to give the mass market of shooters what they want; Superhuman soldiers with Michael Bay.

Its why their games are going downhill so fast. If I recall, FF went downhill after FF9, though 10-2 gets some praise.
