Wasn't all the stuff about Jill mentioned in files in the main game? I can't recall right now how she was put under Wesker's control though, I only remember the cause of her altered appearance.

I agree with you about the enemies. The Guardians were alright, I guess, but really? The only zombies are the sad sacks of crap that twitch on the ground? That's just lazy, CAPCOM! They could've at least had the prisoner chambers filled with a few zombies...

I really enjoyed Lost In Nightmares and wish other DLC's were more like this. Plenty of homages to RE 1 and the eeary feel returned to the game vs. what happened in RE 5. Comparing the value of this DLC vs. what Ubisoft is putting out for AC 2 is a difference of night and day (200 gs for $10 with both packs with replayability or 0 gs for $6 with both packs and no replayability.)

While I wished there were some zombies outside of the ones that just lay there and pop out of the water at the end, there would need to be more ammo available if that was the case.

I'll have to play it again as we missed one of the score stars and we didn't do it fast enough so myself and my podcast co-host only got 1 achievement last night.

Yeah some of story (as far as Lost in Nightmares) did come out during the main game. However I finds it a little odd to not relay story elements here since you are actually playing them out and all.

Being rewarded with a video explaining things would have been nice though even if the info it shared was already available via the main game in document form.

Maybe there will be a story cutscene in Desperate Escape that shows Jill being transformed?

Would be nice! I hope Desperate Escape is longer than Lost in Nightmares!!!

Just completed LiN myself. Really enjoyed the experience. Great DLC value, lots of replay built in.

I feel like such a noob, and literally missed the last star right before the boss encounter, where your handguns get re-equipped. Took nearly 2 hrs and 40 mins on my first try [veteran] cause I looked everywhere for those stars; except the previous overlook.

Biggest improvement I've noticed was partner AI Jill wasn't as annoying as AI Sheva. This helped out a lot in setting the mood. Sheva in the main campaign was a freaking chatterbox, and you just wanted to off her yourself. Very glad Capcom fixed this with Jill.

I hope Resident Evil 6 is along these lines.

btw, not sure, but was wondering if completing each difficulty unlocks a figure.

Would a few people be interested in setting something up for this Friday night to bang out the Versus achievements? Let me know.

Count me in.

Ugh...gonna have to pass. This snow really messed up my schedule. Maybe another day.

We've got 3 on right now, need one more for the team achievements. Anyone interested? Shoot me a message on Live.

Anybody want to hook up for the 1v1 Survivors achievement? I've got about 7 or 8 wins already, and I'd be willing to stick around until you got it. I'll even help you get the 40,000 score one too if you don't already have it. PM me or hit me up on XBL.

If you haven't found anyone yet, let me know. I think I have some wins, too, so it shouldn't take long.

I should be playing this soon, I downloaded it but haven't been able to play it yet. Glad to see that it's getting positive feedback.

Jesus, talk about a grind lol. I couldn't take it anymore. Just glad you got the achievement. I guess I'm a win or two away. I'll pick it up eventually.

If you want help, I am offering my assistance. Just send me a Friend Request.

We played for like 3 hours, and I already had some wins going in, so I should be pretty close. If you want me let him win a few matches of Survivors, that would be great. Let me know when you'll be on today.

Seriously. Thanks for the help though man. I'm finished with the Versus achievements finally. I bought that DLC the day it released and its taken this long.

yeah I still need

-30 wins in Team Slayers
-30 wins in Slayers
-30 wins in Survivor

I was boosting with some CAGS a few weeks ago, but most of them already got all the achievements except me. So if anyone wants to join for some boosting just msg me and we can setup a time. It gets repetitive, so we could just do a few matches here and there.

If you need help with story related achievements like a co-op partner for professional or any of the new DLC msg me as well. I already got all those, but I am willing to help when i got extra time to kill.

I still need the two team achievements, Survivors, and 40x combo, so you got one. Let me know.

EDIT: Finally got around to playing some Lost in Nightmares. Wow...amazing. I definitely mourn the lack of zombies. From the way everyone was initially saying how it felt just like the old RE games, I figured there would zombies, until folks started pointing out otherwise in the thread. But still, the atmosphere is amazing and really makes me want another RE remake even more. This DLC is definitely worth the price of admission, in my opinion, because I get to play as the great Barry Burton in Mercenaries Reunion and hear his "what is this?" line.

just finished Desperate Escape, and I must say it lives up to its title. One word to describe this new chapter 'Intense'. No puzzles, mansions, classic resident evil throwbacks, or lack of action here. It is a roller coaster ride till the very end. I have never seen so many damn enemies in a Resident Evil game come at me (in fact one of the achievements is to kill 150 enemies by yourself). It made me panic, and look for ways to escape if not just to catch my breath for a second before moving on.


There were so many secondary bosses scattered throughout the game. By secondary bosses I mean like the Chainsaw enemies, Chain gun enemies etc. At one point I was surrounded by two chainsaw enemies, 1 chain-gun enemies and at least a dozen regular enemies. I literally was running for my life trying to find weapons, health, vantage points, etc.

The end consists of you surviving for 5 minutes before help arrives to pick you up. This was definitely one of the most intense and best part of this new chapter. That 5 minutes turns into 6-7 minutes when something goes wrong, but eventually help does arrive.



It clocks in about the same length as Lost in Nightmares, and adds another 100 achievement points to go along with it. The cost is also the same as Lost in Nightmares (400pts). I definitely recommend a purchase just like I did with Lost in Nightmares.
