Ok, the developers deserve a swift kick in the balls. Headshots are fucking impossible at this stage with a maxed out handgun. This shit is so counter-productive and unintuitive its not even funny. gg Cavia/Capcom

Welcome to my world.

So if anyone else finds the "Javier's Private Messages" file, I'd love to know where it was. Or if you don't remember specifically, the general vicinity would be great. I have combed Operation: Javier up and down, and I just can't find it. My OCD is kicking into overdrive, and I have to know where this blasted thing is.

Wow, seriously? Anyway to change the Wii region so it loads the Japanese version?

Gecko OS can force it to different languages. I think there was also a very bricky tool to change the Wii's region setting itself.

As with UC, the disc has all languages included and loads them depending on where your Wii is from.

Wow, the translation job on this game is a fucking disgrace. Where are you getting the Japanese text? Especially for the audio files?

I'm pretty sure I got all the files in those two areas, but I'll try again. I'm still missing one Archive item from Chapter 3, despite getting an S rank, so I'm thinking it might be somewhere in there.

I can't believe I've already clocked over 30 hours in this game. Geez.

Hey News Bot, you don't happen to remember where you found "Javier's Private Messages," do you?

Afraid not. The only "hot spot" for files I know of is in the garden where Manuela sees the corpses of her doctors. Shoot each and every single light you can. There are about 3 files altogether or something. I can't remember exact locations for other files. Another location is in the hidden "Javier's victims" passage, take the left turn and when you open the gate door, shoot the boxes with the shotgun. There are 2-3 files altogether there. Not sure if there are any if you take the right turn.

Just saw the "good" ending of OJ, maybe it is just me, but Weskers model is... diferent, really diferent, it wasn't until he put on his sun galsses that he looked a bit like the other models he's had. Strange thing is, at the ending of Game of Oblivion his model is fairlly similar to the ones in previous games, maybe because he was far and had his sun glases on

It's pretty evident the files are referring to Ada. First off, "Javier's Private Messages" and "Correspondence with Wesker (FAX Documents)" are interconnected as both are from August 14th, 20XX. Secondly, the Japanese version does not use genders and instead refers to the broker as an "Asian", while the English version uses "man" in the one file and "woman" in the other.

Furthermore, they avoid using the term "Umbrella" altogether and instead refer to the company as the "umbrella shop" (if you wanted it to sound even less conspicuous, you could translate it to "brolly shop"). And Ada is not a "spy from Umbrella", but rather an "umbrella shop spy", not affiliated with them but, as Wesker said, still "sucking their blood" although she got out. Javier got suspicious after Ada asked Sergio for "estimated information about their sales" and told him to eliminate her. But as we all know from her role in biohazard 4, he didn't get her.

Where abouts is the scene where Wesker is talking to the characters via speakers?

Before entering the Ashford Mansion, Wesker begins talking to Claire. Not through speakers though, he's in the same area, just hiding.

Does anyone have all of the text files from Operation: Javier and Game of Oblivion? I'm missing three from OJ and one from GoO. I'd like to know which I'm missing and/or where they can be located.

EDIT:

Scratch that. Now I only have one text file left for Operation: Javier. I know which one it is, because it's on Project Umbrella. I just don't know where to find it. It's the "Javier's Private Messages" text.

Anybody know how to kill the boss in chapter 4 of Operation: Javier? You know, the one that shoots projectiles at you? From the first chapter?

I just can't kill it. The spikes it shoots destroys me every time. Any tips?

Ah, those necromorph-looking things in O: J are so adorable! I just want to hug them!

But those skeletal bat-things with scythe hands are evil. EEEEEEEEVIL.

I've unlocked all the audio files now, but I'm still missing some text files, enemy bios, and character bios. I still haven't unlocked any new alternate costumes since the initial few I got when I beat the game the first time. I'm getting really tired of destroying stuff in the environment.

I know items are unlocked by getting S ranks on Hard in any of the chapters... please tell me its not the case with the files too.

It turns out you don't have to get an S rank to unlock items. You do, however, have to meet certain requirements in the individual scoring statistics (i.e. number of headshots, enemies killed, etc).

Also, a note to whoever it was who was asking about unlockable weapons (I can't remember right now, I'm sorry), you unlock the Linear Launcher when you beat the game on Hard.

Where abouts is the scene where Wesker is talking to the characters via speakers?

Regarding the file about Wesker's conversation with Javier, he is not referring to Ada. He is referring to an Umbrella broker mentioned in another file, who is later killed by Javier's men.
