Considering Ada permanently clitblocked any sort of possibility during the 3,392,190 Monster Simmons fight does Helena even still count? She kind of pulled his card after the second Wong sighting anyway and friend zoned herself midway through the campaign.

Soooo... is there a lot of J'avo spider chasing (not really a spoiler at all I reckon) in Chris's campaign or just this little bit in the beginning? It's a bitch to catch the second one playing solo since you can't effectively surround it (the AI partner just follows you everywhere). Open to suggestions.

Capcom seems to be pushing more for ada/leon. Even in that new resident evil CGI movie they mention a time they almost ed but got interrupted.

Yeah. They were definitely shoving an Adamance down our throats in Leon's campaign. Same with the Partnermance of Chris & Jill in RE5.

Pete: Grenade spam, Shotgun spam, camp it out in one of the main hallways and set the AI to aggressively target it by hard aiming + 'B' I believe. Just don't quote me on the exact command as I haven't played this in a while so experimentation may be necessary if no one corrects me. You can rest easy though knowing that part is contained in that chapter.

I don't remember it being that bad with jill and chris. Sure chris spent 2 games searching for her but they didn't swap make up mirrors or anything.

I was going to trade this in, but I am still enjoying it. Especially playing Mercenaries.

Which character are you? When I was playing professional I had a slightly easier time with Chris here. I just ran after the spider and when he would come past me I would repeatedly quick shot it.

The difficulty I had with Piers is that his sniper rifle would somehow miss, even though it should be a one shot quick shot. His assault rifle was always on single shot for me, so you could try switching it to automatic for that section.

And if you know the spider-man is around a corner, waiting for you to chase, you can try to throw a frag grenade off the wall to see if it can hit them, they way they don't flee from you getting too close.

I feel the same way. I can get $40 for it from Amazon with the locked in trade-in value, but I'm actually enjoying this game, and questing for titles. I'm almost debating canceling my order for Halo 4, as I really don't need a new game to play.

I like the game too but if I could get $40 I would have. When was the TIV $40 BTW? I check at least every other day and have not seen it higher than $20

They're still working on it?


Were people complaining about having to unlock Ada's campaign? Seems like an odd thing to change.

theres a camera fix coming in the update also, so u can adjust the camera so its not so zoomed on your character

Im waiting for Ada campaign to go co-op. I could care less about a camera fix since i haven't had any problems. I DO want new mercenaries maps though.

Sorry, I should have specified that I have the Archives edition. Though I think GameStop is/was giving $40 for any edition if you traded it in towards the purchase of a new game (or maybe it was a pre-order?).

You're probably right that it's worth it for me to get rid of it now, then hold out for a cheaper Gold/Ultra/Awesome Edition with the DLC and updates released. Especially since I didn't think it would take until December for that update. I was hoping it'd be closer to Halloween.

Are they not planning DLC for this game? If its gonna take until december to release on disc dlc how long will other DLC take?

I was surprised this game didn't have a season pass now I see why I guess. Then again if capcom releases dlc for this game bitchfests occur OMG DLC THIS EARLY.

Nah I'll just hold onto it. I don't hate the game but I played RE5 more than 6 and had more fun with 5 though. :/

Seriously. I honestly don't understand why anyone would complain about it. It's on par with paying for a movie ticket then demanding the theater skip straight to the ending scenes of the film ten minutes into it. There's good reason it was the last campaign.

There's more than enough intersecting co-op segments in it for Capcom to comfortably write off those requests. A full time partner also wouldn't make much sense considering the campaign's focus and direction. I can't imagine there's anyone Ada would trust enough to divulge the fact she has a psycho doppelganger hell bent on destroying the world due to a shitty marriage. Hell... she didn't even tell Leon the truth. It's got to be pretty damn embarrassing for any spy to have their DNA successfully stolen AND experimented on.

I must have missed this but what happened to his wife and how did she turn into ada wong's clone?

I'm not surprised since Capcom made the horrible mistake of tying codex entries into the Serpent Emblems. Unless you collect a decent chunk of them or wiki spoil yourself you aren't going to get the full story.

Anyway... Simmons realized Carla was the ideal candidate for Operation: Clone Ada so he ordered his lab techs to experiment on her. Problem was she had already suspected what was going on and decided to go through with it having realized and resented his obsession with Wong. The "Happy Birthday" video of Ada's clone being born was actually Carla successfully mutating into said clone. In other words... just an overly complicated case of plastic surgery.

My guess is Carla dicked around with a few things in order to maintain herself during the transformation since she appeared to be head of the team responsible for virus experimentation anyway. So while Simmons initially thought he received an obedient clone Carla played the fool long enough to set her revenge plan in motion wrestling true control of Neo-Umbrella behind the scenes.

Unfortunately she got cocky when she decided to involve the real Ada Wong instead of leaving her out of it. Had she kept quiet I doubt Ada would have been in any real position to stop her. What's worse is Ada herself said she would have helped her bring down Simmons had she not been attached to the plot in the first place.

So uh... yeah. The storyline kind of sucks. A lot.

I figured a good chunk was in the serpent emblems.

Thank you I don't mind reading for story line its just gonna be a pain in the ass to find all the emblems now. The way RE 6 ended on Ada's story it seemed like Jake was channeling a little dante. He pulls his gun out and says some shitty one liner before going into battle with monsters. Imagine RE7 DMC style. ^_^

Ditto. I live off subtitles and codex entries so naturally the way Capcom handled the latter royally pissed me off. I loathe collectables in video games especially those tied to achievements. Same with clicking on articles only to find a thousand videos plastered when text is so much faster to absorb. I think I have like maybe a little over 35 of the 80 emblems found and probably won't go for the rest until worthwhile DLC campaigns show up. It's such an unnecessary time sink IMO.
