Resident Evil Megathread: COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION! - Games

I dont know about you guys but I was [sp]pretty sold on Mia after I learned that she was actually a pp-bizon toting bad-ass that fought through a tanker filled with gook monsters alone[/sp] [sp]Ethan and Mia are perfect for each other being mutual bad-asses; Zoe does what, call you a bunch of times and leads you everywhere just so you can cure her. She would be way more trustworthy if she handed you the instructions to making the vaccine and simply trusted you, instead she sends you on unexplained fetch quests in a monster infested house so she could ultimately whip it up in like 3 seconds and get mad when you take the syringes.[/sp]

All that mia does in the game up to that point is [sp]1. Try to kill you 2. Keeps shouting and moaning every line or two 3. Tries to make Ethan Sandwich 4. Doesn't stop a single fuck second to tell what the fuck is going on[/sp] When Zoe: [sp]1. Actually tries to help you 2. Talks useful information 3. Tell you the ingredients to the serum 4. Make the bloody thing And when you save her she also tells the truth about Mia[/sp] Bonus points: Zoe is waifu tier I choose her on my first playthrough, no regrets

[QUOTE=Fr3ddi3;51782825][SP] The option that makes [I]in universe[/I] sense is Mia, Zoe phones you up a couple of times and hardly divuldges any usefull information to you and is pretty cryptic about what she does tell you, in fact i'll openly say it. I did not trust Zoe, but I did trust non Eveline mode Mia who you could get back through the cure. So far as you are aware, you've gone to find your wife so that is what the goal is. Now the revelations that come about after the ship section did make me question Mia's 'innocence', but it also made me question Ethan too laregly because his face is deliberately obscured but also because Eveline straight up says to Mia that Ethan does not love her, then throw in the ending and how Ethan acts for just a normal guy, it leads me into thinking he is an agent for someone else, likely umberella, and Mia is a job not a real partner, in which case Ethan would still pick Mia because she's his mission [/SP][/QUOTE] [sp]I kinda took that as Eveline just trying to fuck with Mia, cuz she's a cruel little kid. I think the way Ethan acts when around Mia shows that he does care beyond the relationship just being a hypothetical job.[/sp] [editline]5th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Andre Gomes;51782841]All that mia does in the game up to that point is [sp]1.

Also, it's super obvious that she isn't in control of herself when she attacks Ethan.[/sp] [editline]5th February 2017[/editline] [sp]This is getting silly anyway trying to argue story over waifu stuff on the internet.[/sp]

So, any bets on how Capcoms going to justify inevitably bringing [sp]Wesker[/sp] back again? I'd wager on [sp]c-virus doppelganger.[/sp]

[sp]I chose Mia for the trophy, and I chose Zoe for the trophy.[/sp]

I wonder, if Outbreak is canon, does that mean Operation Raccoon City is partially canon? At least in terms of the characters and not the whole kill Leon thing? Because if we're being honest I really liked the Wolfpack and thought Beltway was a fun character.

Plus, her attacking you was not something she could control. That was Eveline being the puppet master and wanting to kill Ethan because he was destined to take Eveline's pseudo-mommy away. In my opinion, Zoe is a bitch because, like someone said, she throws you around on fetch quests without explaining anything and is simply all like, "Yeah lmao sorry about that now go somewhere else I'll explain shit later." I don't get why either because it's not like you could leave the property. She needed you and you needed her. If she was upfront and more open about it I might have considered her, but I ultimately picked Mia because it was the easier choice.[/sp]

Zoe on the other hand just.. gives you objectives, she does help with leaving things around presumably including the tapes (without which Ethan could never solve the Happy Birthday puzzle realistically), but she clearly only wanted to escape on her own terms to the point that she forgets mentions 'small' details like her mother's bugs. She even tells Ethan to use the serum on Jack and then freaks out a minute later when Ethan tells her he used one of them.[/sp] I'm not gonna get into waifu wars, [sp]i'll pick Mia for the story purposes mainly,[/sp] but I don't like people throwing characters under the boss for arbitrary reasons.

[QUOTE=WillerinV1.02;51782718]Not even sure why [sp] theres even a discussion over who you "should" have chosen, it's such a silly non-choice that impacts nothing but fucking with your ending. I chose Zoe because she's a qt and the game made shit all attempts to build a meaningful bond to Mia. Arguing over who Ethan should/would've chosen is pointless. [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Doesn't it also change the mission on the boat slightly? I watched a playthrough of the Zoe ending and it seems like you end up getting into one final fight with Mia while she's being influenced and then you end up stabbing her and killing her for real.[/sp]

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;51783050][sp]That's the only gameplay change.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]That's still a noteworthy change. It's minor, but it's pretty neat that the choice does change the ending mission.[/sp] [editline]6th February 2017[/editline] Also what are your guys's guesses on what that free "Not a Hero" DLC will be? It's obvious that it'll be be centered around [sp]Chris Redfield[/sp], but since [sp]he is working for Umbrella Corporation I take it that they really didn't rescue Ethan and rather captured him for their own benefit. I can't see Umbrella being the good guys as it showcased them to be in the end.[/sp]

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;51783057][sp]That's still a noteworthy change. It's minor, but it's pretty neat that the choice does change the ending mission.[/sp][/QUOTE] It's still kind of awkward though, because regardless of that, [sp]the rest of the story context is exactly the same until the ending. If Mia lives, she seemingly dies saving Ethan and he gets pissed at Eveline. If Mia dies, Ethan kills her himself.. and then gets pissed at Eveline with exactly the same lines on both of their parts. They basically just tweaked and reused the fight from the prologue to justify a second ending for the sake of replay value when the story content is overall the same with different context. Hell, the good ending doesn't even bother to tell or show or even imply Mia lived pushing Ethan out of the room and it filling with mold - she just.. shows up in the ending with seeming amnesia of the game's events.[/sp]

Ya bookends and all that, but I would have liked that fight more if there were more mechanics to it.[/sp]

I know you see Eveline, but her child form seems to be an apparition that only appears once she's wiggled her way into your head. She wasn't really on the boat with you and Mia when Mia locked you out and told you to go find her. I guess Umbrella Corporation, given that they've been monitoring the Baker house, went to go pick her up after you fought Eveline's true form at the end. That's the only conclusion I can make of it.[/sp] Edit: [sp]Remember, the game is set 3 years after the events of what occured on the boat with Mia. At the time, Eveline was being developed as a bioweapon in child form in order to deceive enemy combatants with little to no influence from allied forces. Her being made into a child allowed her to easily get into people's heads because nobody would suspect a child to be a danger. To top it off, once she did get into people's head she would cause them to experience visual hallucinations. In its first stages, it would just be hallucinations of her. But as she got more into their head the hallucinations became worse and people would begin seeing other shit (stage 2) until she had influence over someone to take complete control (stage 3). This is all documented in the lab you see in the mines. There's also a journal of a guy working in that mine who was guarding Eveline while she was in captivity. He documents that her hair is turning gray. Mia also clearly states in the beginning of her video tape on the boat that "she is throwing up more than her body's mass" and that it was the result of not giving her the injections they did. It's clear Eveline's body started growing old and deteriorating, which is why after 3 years she looks as old as she does. However, based on her programming, she still retains the childlike form in the hallucinations. Because she had enough time with Mia and Ethan at the Baker home, she was in both of their eads. That's why you saw her child form on the shipwreck as both Mia and Ethan. That's how she was still able to influence Mia. But because Ethan was new, the only influence she had was that visions of her were visible (the first stage). That was until the end when the hallucinations got worse and she started making you see other shit (second stage) while you were trying to inject her with the serum. So, really, all Mia did was lock herself up in the hull of the ship by herself to protect Ethan. And after Ethan killed Eveline, Umbrella went to the shipwreck, picked her up, and reunited her with Ethan.[/SP]

also side note with having to [sp]fight mia in the tanker if you choose zoe[/sp] [sp]as mia, right before getting to ethan, plant all your bombs. when you're ethan, they'll still be there. and you can detonate them. i don't know if you can kill mia with them or not[/sp]

I chose [sp] zoe [/sp] because I closed my eyes, moved my mouse back and forth and then pressed m1

What if [sp]they add a 3rd choice where Ethan just gets on the boat alone and goes "lol im saving this for myself haha later bitches"[/sp]

No he's not, he's the original throughout the entire series. [sp]Wesker was given a prototype Progenitor virus (like all the other Weskers) by Birkin and injected it before he was impaled by the Tyrant.

Is there even proof of [sp]Albrt.Wesker[/sp] being alive? It could be someone using a voice modulator for all we know.

Most people are in the thought that Wesker is alive because his voice appears in Umbrella Corps and apparently UC is canon or something.

I hope Capcom doesn't just throw out RE5's formula and never come back to it. It's not what I think a main series Resident Evil game should be (and I'm glad they switched it up for RE7) but man it's such a good coop game and I'd like to see them carry it into some future RE spinoff series or a new IP. It's one of the only games where I really felt like I relied on my coop partner and our spreading out of resources to make it through, and I love it. There's something about running around a giant elevator shooting at a fuckhuge spider thing with a friend that other coop games don't provide.

Could say that he formed an [sp]Uroboros shell [/sp] and went into hibernation so that his body didn't require that [sp]serum to regulate his body [/sp] or something.

But i'm not gonna rule it out, it's the easiest way to bring back Wesker he's RE's answer to Darth Vader, the villian everyone loves.

I'm considering trying RE6, are people bashing on it because it's a genuinely a bad game, or because of its focus on action? Personally I wouldn't mind an action-packed shooter if it's done properly. Also, what exactly are Revelations and Revelations 2? Should I try them before/after RE6? How different are they from the main series?

I want an Outbreak HD. I feel like it would sell really well.

The game is fine. 2 : Revelations 1 takes place between RE4 and RE5, Revelations 2 is between RE5 and RE6. They're both less action-based than 4, 5, and 6. Revelations 1 has a modified RE5 engine and Revelations 2 is modified RE6. Revelations 1 isn't co-op outside of the bonus mode, due to several parts of the game involving you and your partner seperating.

And for the love of god, don't make the costumes/file 2 scenarios/elimination/showdown paid DLC

-ninja'd- But yeah the Revelations games are fun, the aiming isn't as nice as in 7 though.
