Hopefully they can correct these things in RE7. As much as I like the game, it's still not perfect. I didn't mention this before, but Leon's stupidity with 'Ada' got on my nerves even more than the constant Simmons battles. Chris and Piers were right there about to kill the head of Neo-Umbrella until Leon's so-called "love" prevents this causing Chris and Piers to go through more pain than necessary. The files state that Leon HATES bio-terrorists, but the moment it's "Ada", he's like "She's a key 'witness'". He's basically trying to let her get away with what she did in Edonia, to Jake, Sherry, Chris, and the B.S.A.A. I don't care who you are, if you're the true Big Bad trying to cause a global genocide, I WILL kill you if I need to. If I care about you, I might hesitate, but I'll hopefully get past it. If Leon can kill his best friend (friends for 15 years and of course with hesitation), then he should be able to kill "Ada".

To be fair, Ada was completely innocent when it came to the Neo-Umbrella stuff and he did not know she had a doppelganger until later.

But even then, I'd still go ahead and kill "Ada". According to Chris, "She's working for Neo-Umbrella" and Leon still protects her. So, it makes me wonder. If the real Ada became a Neo-Umbrella worker, would he just let her waltz around the world creating more Raccoon cities?

Didn't Leon know that Ada was innocent? I mean, even if it was just a "hunch", that's already pretty much a cliche in popular media and practically already means that it's true. That plot point didn't really matter to me all that much.

To answer your question, if Leon had some decisive evidence that it really was the real Ada doing this he'd propably try to stop her himself. This time he eventually let Chris to do whatever with her while he went on a hunt for Simmons.

My only question is: what in Sam's name is Ada Wong's incentive for doing anything in that game? Why save Jake and Sherry? Why save Leon? Why show her face at all? Why did she want to stop Carla and Simmons to begin with? No one assigned her for anything in the game except at the end when she answere her cell. What was she doing in the game?

I'm guessing she wanted to stop Carla so that she can clear her "name" (The files state that Ada Wong isn't even her real name). And as for Simmons, she said something about "closure". When I first played this game, I thought Ada's story would be complete. Come to think of it, it added even more questions and didn't answer much(What's Ada's real name? Age? Motive?). We know more about one-time characters! As for Ada and Leon, this whole "Cat and Mouse" game needs to end in RE7 if they both appear. If not that, then they need to explain why Ada does what she does. It's one of these things that makes me shake my head when I'm doing Leon's games.

@Mass: Yeah I guess he was able to use the whole "You're not you" 'power' explaining why he didn't go after "Ada".

Ada does what she does because she gets paid for being a double agent. Her real name doesn't really even matter, it's just like HUNK. The reason she had to "clear her name" was so that she could actually get jobs after this, instead of everyone thinking of her as a bioterrorist.

I see where you're going. And I agree with you about HUNK, but Ada's a long running character while HUNK's only been in one canon minigame as far as I'm aware of. I just wish we got some more info about her motives.

I dunno. Does someone like her really even need a motive for being a spy or whatever? I think it's the same as HUNK and Nicholai, money. Then, after you've been doing something like that for quite some time it's propably really hard to just quit.

Btw. I'd totally love to see HUNK make a canon appearance outside of the 1998 cycle.

Same here. His character was very interesting.

Leon's rugged appearance also annoys me. I mean, his emo kid look from 4 wasn't exactly brilliant, but it was HIS look you know? He pulled that look off like a boss.

What annoyed me most about RE6 was Leon and Ada's "Cat and Mouse" game. Come Resident Evil 10 and we'll get this bit

Leon retires from fighting Bio-Terrorism and settles down to visit a retirement home. He sees Old Ada
Old Leon: Ada? What are you doing her?
Old Ada: Oh you know...stuff.
Old Leon: What is your purpose?
Old Ada: See you 'round *uses cane to swing out a 1st story window*
Old Leon: ADA! *just sits there in his chair*

*End of game*
So we'd still be left hanging. Either that or Leon will become the new Simmons.

Am I the only one who cried when Chris' team got killed by Ada?

I've never cried in a Resident Evil title, but it was pretty emotional. A well made moment in the game, I must say!

I played it with my brother. We had a moment of silence. But that was about it.

I came close to it, but didn't shed a tear. Watching people you grew attached to die while you can't do anything is pretty sad. I understand Chris' rage.

It's just he started out a mess, and then you get to see why- think about the responsibility he had to bear then he had to watch his team die right infront of him with Finn struggling to walk towards him - just inches before they touch. That is so sad. srs.

I feel sorry for Chris, i want to hold him.

cry.

That's why I like some parts about Chris' game more than others. Chris actually shows a more realistic emotion about his men dying than Leon did when he had to kill his own best friend.

I find Chris' scenario the only enjoyable one of the three (four?), mostly because he's the only one that goes through an arc, and Piers is actually a likeable dude. Not to mention I really love the final boss. His scenario is awesome at the Yawn fight, but peaks when you have to climb the laboratory shaft away from the final boss.

One last bump just to tell everyone I'm unstickying this one. Pitch in while people still remember this thread exists!

Hmm, I remember a lot of hype when it was announced, pretty much every day heading to google news for information. The game came out, I didn't like it, it was a flop, and Capcom missed their predicted sales figures by the millions.

I think they've gotten a lot of that back though. Just waaaaaaaay slower than they expected.

True, but the point is to meet the sales figures at certain quarters of the year. In 2012 it failed to meet it's year end figures, and so they lowered it, but again, it failed to meet expectations in early feb. 2013, which is super important for the company.

And now they are in money troubles. Hopefully we still keep getting shit that actually sells.

Speaking of money and RE6....

RE6 is on sale on Steam for 10$ right now, I will be buying it for PC tonight. (ALL Resident Evil games on Steam aside from ORC are below 13$ this weekend).
