Chris' campaign was great. The broken man going full circle. Sure it was action as fuck but goddamn... Piers went out like a man. I really, really thought Chris was going to die, after the speech on the elevator about Piers taking his place and the whole "I killed your daddy" thing.
Still have Jake & Ada to play through. I'm liking it so far.

Finally finished the Ada scenario and while a few of my plot gripes were resolved with it, the game overall is still pretty poor to me. Simmons definitely needed more back story presence - his entire character was basically just a set up for Capcom to convince fans that there can be more powerful villains beyond Wesker (by simply bringing a villain back 99 times and not letting him die.) I wouldn't be surprised if Piers comes back in a later game because he was hiding in a refrigerator or something.
I mean, not trying to sound like a troll or anything. The game gives a lot of content for the main scenarios, but really pushes the envelope of whoring out intellectual property and kind of falls very short of being anything special to me. The only unique level to me was the Sherry/Jake scenario level where you're running around a Chinese hotel/embassy type area..everything else was QTE fluff and waiting for scripted sequences to end before you progress to the next area. There, you'll run through enemies, maybe collect a key and then lay on your back again while waiting for the invisible timer to reach zero during a mob or boss fight so you can progress further and repeat all over again.
Also, Spoiler:

Don't worry. Archives III or some other book will eventually explain all of that.

Just finished Ada's campaign. Pretty satisfied with the story overall, although there are various things I'd nitpick about.

If you're trying to play it in chronological order is it possible on the first play through? If so, can someonebreak down the chapters in each scenario on how the game is best played e.g. Jake Chapter 1, Chris Chapter 2, etc?

Just completed Chris and Leon's stories, by far Chris is probably the hardest towards the end, while Leon was more of suspense as thought would be. Sad ending with Piers, obviously assumed he died with the explosion but who knows.
On to play as Jake now, let's see how that turns out!

At least with Piers dying we dont have to worry with him falling in the "Unused Characters Limbo" that we can be 99% sure he would have fallen

Anyway, here's someone posting a playthrough. He completed Ada's. I finally got what I wanted

Overall, I like the story but there are a lot of things I would have done differently.
I'm thinking Hiroshi Yamashita did more bad than good as a scriptwriter. Have never heard anything positive about his writing.

So basically once again, Ada gets away scot-free like the smug bitch she is and something awesome is casually discarded as a final boss mutant form to appease the fangirls of more popular characters. "Oh Wesker is so awesome!" is now "Oh Ada is so awesome!"
I liked Simmons, but like Spencer he had to be thrown away in order to appease the kids.
Piers dying? Really, really needed to be Chris. A missed opportunity for Chris to sacrifice himself heroically. Yet another game of missed opportunities.Last edited by Mr. Spencer; 09-29-2012, 10:06 AM.

Anybody else think that Chris should've died instead of piers? Piers seemed to be being built up into being the next-gen Chris, and it would've made sense considering what happened before. Instead, we get to keep the aging vet and kill off what could've been his legacy into the future, despite being dead. Could've had a funeral for him, Jill pregnant with his kid perhaps, and some nice words to send him off.
Story-wise, the entire thing is unimpressive. So many missed opportunities, lackluster presentation, and chances. Then again, the entire series has had the story and narrative quality of your average tv drama, so it isn't really a surprise that capcom didn't think about it, but still, you'd think they'd at least try. In this day and age, where developers are actually trying to implement quality stories after having the groundwork laid by the classics such as the legacy of kain, nier, etc, capcom not really trying with resident evil 6 is kinda bothering.
