Lost in Nightmare / Desperate Escape [Spoiler Discussions go here]

[Det. Beauregard]

Plus, for the price, not only did I get a great little episode to play with Jill & Chris, but a fantastically superior version of Mercs. (The new Mercs melee moves are great!) That's quite a lot of gameplay from a relatively low price of admission.

I also think Mercs Reunion is superior to the original Mercs; I only wish you could use the other characters (I want some Wesker and Jill options)!

Also, does anyone else find Road Warrior Chris to be excellent in Mercs? Just discard your rifle/rifle ammo and handgun/handgun ammo when you start, and all you'll get from enemies and smashable objects is shotgun shells for the hydra (which holds more shells than Wesker's). Go on a rampage!

Also, is anyone else a little disappointed that the records screen doesn't recognize the Keepers as enemies that you've killed? The other stuff you kill in LIN (spiders, rats) are recognized, so why not the Keepers? Also, no Keeper figure! And why can't you earn exchange points in LIN, but you can in Mercs Reunion?

Nemesiswontdie and I managed to find all the stars without a guide...but it was my 3rd playthrough after finding most but not all on previous runs. The Wesker end fight is actually pretty cool; I appreciate it a lot more than some of the folks I've played with. I just wish there was more dialogue/banter in-game between Chris & Jill as they progress, and also a bit more verbal sparring between Chris/Jill & Wesker at the end.

Overall, LIN is a terrific homage to RE1 and other early RE games. I'm very, very happy with it, even if it is by no means perfect. Plus, for the price, not only did I get a great little episode to play with Jill & Chris, but a fantastically superior version of Mercs. (The new Mercs melee moves are great!)

Cannot wait for DE, which I'm guessing is going to be like an extended Mercs session.

You probably mean the assault rifle. On my first run I got the assault rifle, the shotgun and the sniper rifle.

There are a lot of random (or just changing?) elements in Lost in Nightmares.

I'm not entirely sure what the triggers are.
But the first two times that I played through it, I only got pistols and a shotgun in my arsenal.
The next three times I found the machine pistol and shotgun. And I know I didn't miss the machine pistol before, 'cause I initially got my shotguns from the same spot (above the dining room)

Last time I played through it (with my brother) I found a shotgun, machine pistol and a rifle.

I also only got the bastard to spawn in the mansion on my first Professional run (but not on veteran), but when I was playing with my brother we got 'em in on Veteran.

Yea on my first solo run, I played on normal just so I could take my time and check things out...and a keeper appeared after the piano part. Hell I thought that only happened on the harder mode. I also noticed the random weapons. My first run I got a sniper rifle/magnum, the second time a machine gun/shotgun lol

The emblem changed for me, as well. The first time I played through LiN, it was on that wall behind the gate after the Guardian smashes through the destructible wall. The second time I played through LiN, it wasn't there, but I must've gotten it somewhere else, because I still got the Trophy for it. I have no idea where it was the second time, though.

[Stu]

Since i wrote my list up, i've never seen the emblem on the shelf myself, that was the only time.

[TheBatMan]

I've played on normal, vet and professional and they haven't moved for me either.

Very strange indeed...

[Stu]

I was prepared to just think i'd been imagining it, but Dave one of the moderators on Biohaze has said he saw the emblem on the bottom shelf before the Keeper smashes the wall down!

Y'ALL THOUGHT I WAS NUTS HUH?!?!? NOW WHO'S LAUGHING?!?!?! BWUHAHAHAHA!

*ahem* Sorry...

[Carnivol]

It's not impossible, but I think it's unlikely... during the 10-or-so times I've played through it, I've yet to see the emblems move/change. They've always been in the same spots for me. They're almost like the only constant I've seen in the entire thing

Come to think of it... I've yet to play through LIN on Normal...

[Stu]

Erm...i'm not sure how to say this...but the emblem thing...it might not be over!

The first time i played LIN i did it on veteran too and i didn't see any of the Guardians at all. Unless by hard mode you mean professional?

Not gonna look. Can't do it, I don't wanna spoil the fun. Thanks for those who do want to watch it though.
