Anyone pick up Revelations 2? (*Fawkin' spoilers beware*)

[biohazard_star]

I'm really liking the game so far. Story and gameplay is definitely miles ahead of REV 1. I like how there are actually a lot of tense moments in the game. The first enemy ambush, the siege part with the flamethrower,
and the Revenants chasing you down were a lot more tense than what 5/6/REV1 ever threw at you. People can say what they want about the game, but I think we're gonna be getting a lot of bang for our buck with the the $25 price tag.
I just really wish they get around to patching the PC version. The stuttering can get pretty horrendous.

I do agree that the last ambush in Claire's section was both tense and surprisingly very challenging! I ended it with zero bullets in each gun. I don't recall any great moments like that in RE6.

[biohazard_star]

That's because you almost always never run out of ammo in the older games. Having a bunch of raving mutant cannibals running towards you with pickaxes and machetes seems a lot scarier to me than getting mobbed by zombies/ganados.

Simple: A complete nobody who's mentioned in some files of RE5's DLC Lost in Nightmare as the only other Wesker child alive, she had found immortality and ditched everyone.

Alex is mentioned in BIO5's normal story. You might as well call every character in the series a "complete nobody" because they all have to appear at some point.

They did patch it... and made it even worse.

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I call her "Complete nobody until 3 days ago?"
That would be more accurate.

So was Spencer a complete nobody until BIO5?

Spencer done shit, Alex Wesker was simply reporting stuff and vanished.
Up until 3 days ago, her relevancy to the RE universe was that much of a peanut,
had she not showed up in this game, nobody would give a shit about her.

Nobody, except crazy Wesker fanboys, which CAPCOM tries to appease.

[TheBatMan]

Yeah nobody would care apart from practically the whole community who have been wanting to know about Alex for the last 6 years. Alex and Ada are the only two major plot points left, and it looks like capcom are to address one of them here.

[News Bot]

Alex did shit too. Did Carlos do shit? Or Billy? Ark? Bruce? Fong Ling? They were unheard of before their actual appearance, whereas Alex was at least known beforehand. Surely they're true "complete nobodies" going by your logic.

Plenty of people gave a shit about Alex from BIO5's files. Just as people care about other characters mentioned in files, like Christine Henry and, until BIO5, Spencer.

OK, then ask someone from RE who the fuck is Christine Henry and if they answer everything correctly, I give you props. 95% of them won't even know her.
Same deal with Alex, she is not even mentioned properly in the RE5 file, and only is in a DLC.

People in files who report stuff are complete nobodies, not actual characters. They serve only to make the game they're showing up in more interesting, but their roles are over once you get out of that game.

I see Henry mentioned all the time on even GameFAQs. Not only that, but she was brought up again fairly recently in Darkside Chronicles and Archives II... so clearly the writers are still fully aware of her.

So Spencer was a nobody then, thanks for proving my point.

Christine Henry was only brought up into this shit when crazy fan theories for the Rev2 villains started, they even say shit about Jenny K. Seriously, who are them? Oh yeah, I remember now, they're generic characters created for some dumb file.
I guess if I continue talking to you, you'll still be full of yourself. Haven't we agreed I'm ignorant, why don't you just shut up and ignore my inferior intelect, then? Is that so hard?

[News Bot]

No, I've seen her mentioned many times over the years, since before BIO5 was even released. Christine Henry is the executive who stole the G-Virus, pretty important considering that event is the crux of BIO2's plot.

Spencer isn't mentioned in any game or files until CODE:Veronica/Gun Survivor. He's first mentioned in the scrapped Trevor's Letters, a Japanese book and BIO1's Japanese guides. So once again going by your logic, he was an even bigger nobody than Alex!

I guess Monica was gonna be super important, had she survived Outbreak 1 then.

Yeah, because Alex was the founder of Umbrella, the one who started research on the Progenitor Virus, and caused Raccoon City to go to hell.

EDIT

And no, she was the one who sent HUNK to do it. She didn't get the virus, Umbrella did.
That's a pretty big different thing.

[News Bot]

Monica probably would've been, yeah. But she didn't steal it, so your argument has crumbled before it even started.

You never know Spencer as the founder of Umbrella or discoverer of the Progenitor Virus until the fourth game (CV/GS). He also never caused Raccoon City's destruction, that was the Queen Leech. Again... going purely by your logic here. You're contradicting and undermining yourself. Alex is directly responsible for Spencer's death, which makes them pretty important right away.

EDIT: She sent HUNK to get the virus. He delivered it straight to her in Loire Village, which was the location of her chateau and secret laboratory (which Birkin's laboratory was based on, and where he and Annette first developed G). So yes, she got the virus. She shared it with Umbrella.
