Resident Evil 6

[Pikminister]

BH4 as a whole was just Mikami realizing his dream of making a "Die Hard" game. That is, an action-packed blockbuster. Even the fucking plot is similar. GOTTA SAVE MY WIFE/THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER FROM A CRAZY CULT/GERMAN TERRORISTS WITH A CHARISMATIC LEADER WHILE SUPPORTED BY A BLACK GUY/WOMAN OVER THE RADIO. BH4 just expands on it with midgets and monsters.

It could be.

Did Mikami come up with RE4's plot? In any case, Mikami is not exactly young and his influences could go further back than Die Hard. Maybe something he read in a book.

I think Mikami's biggest influence for RE4 was 24, saw him twitting about it some time ago.

It wasn't Bond who they were trying to ape. It was Jason Bourne.

I never really saw Bond as being very acrobatic. He came close to that in Casino Royale. But he came up short against that parkour expert. Bourne was a lot more nimble. And I think I read that they had based Leon on that guy.

They were trying to mix in Bond film since RE4. Mr Leon Kennedy became a super agent and learned how to do all kind of acrobatic super bullshit. There's a whole bunch of James Bondish things in RE4 and RE5 was a continuation of that trend

Lag in this game can be a bitch for pulling off counters. I did a successful counter against a zombie, heard the confirmation sound effect and still got bit. I felt risky and tried again with a Bloodshot and I died. I'm never gonna be doing counters against fast attacks again unless I'm in a game with a three green bars connection (I was in a game with two bars). Too risky.

Patch 1.02 released today and it was another 11mb one. Now to find out what it did.

Cannot switch to Ada because the battle is a crossover section and the Ada could be a third player. Helena can shoot from where she is though, nothing stopping her helping.

Can you? I was playing with a friend and he was Helena. He told me he literally couldn't do anything but him exaggerating is nothing new, especially with RE6. Good to know though.

[Shield Key]

My thoughts exactly... nothing is stopping her from helping; her weapon damage does factor in at that part.

A lot of the co-op partner parts seem absolutely awful. Its almost as if they wanted to make it single player but they were unable to.

During Leon's final fight with Simmons, when you're fighting him with Ada, Helena gets to do jack shit. She literally has to stand there and just watch the whole thing. Control doesn't even switch over to Ada for 2nd player.

As Sherry you got nothing to do, every now and again a few motorbikes drive near you but they literally die in seconds even on Professional, then you're just sitting there doing nothing again. You shoot the truck at one point also, tha is it.

Terribly designed section for Sherry.

It's incredibly awkward, especially when playing without a co-op partner. You just sit there and drum your fingers, waiting for your turn to do something. Although, compared to having to drive as Jake, I don't feel right complaining, haha.

Is it just me who thinks Ustanak's face looks like a horribly disfigured My Little Pony? The blonde hair. The eyes. The horse face.

Yep.

Don't know why I always thought he looked like a really messed up Vega on steroids.

Rather than doing such poor gameplay the scene should have been made into a cinematic. But that pretty much goes for all chase sequences in the game.

Very true. Same goes for the crawling/ladder sequences. It was just pointless and a cinematic would have done better.

Here's a very useful video about the counters. It's definitely easy to do if there's no lag, but I'm gonna have to practice some more on doing it in Mercs.
