I do have to agree with the Leon x Ada relationship...I wish they have had Ada following Leon and Claire through the sewers (perhaps having found Sherry's locket, adding a new dynamic to Annette calling her a thief in the girl fight cutscene) so that Leon and Ada can exchange some more dialogue, and even incorporating the fact that Mr.X is after her.

I think that there's room for improvement regarding the storytelling. Besides the major plothole that Wesker wasn't infected with the T, there are characters who appeared just for the sake of appearing (Chief Brian Irons, Ben Bertolucci etc). It will have been better if they flesh out the Operation Javier story too, such as the life of Javier's wife. Did they explain the sacred snake or whatever its' called?

I hope they will consult the Biohazard Umbrella Archives which they wrote to refresh their memory before they make the game. But too be fair, I like the returning creatures such as the Plague Crawler and the Lurker.

One thing I didn't notice until I was playing today and just kind of screwing around was that if you're doing a really bad job shooting or aren't killing enemies in a timely fashion, your partner will actually comment about it, even complain. I thought it was a nice touch.

More as I encode them.

Does Chris get a description file? I didn't get one after beating Game of Oblivion. (If someone wants to transcribe it, awesome, because I won't have much time in the coming days to beat the game)

Anyway, I actually didn't find the CV scenario so badly done. What they omitted was made up with the reinterpretations of what they did decide to include. I loved how they dealt with Steve's plot in particular.

Leon and Claire meet Ada. Exchange a few words. Meet Ben. Ada runs off. Leon pines. Ada then moments later bids him goodbye as if they have been lovers or something for years. They meet again. He takes the bullet. ZOMG WE GOTTA STICK TOGETHER! They fall in love. (Sherry? Claire? You want to find out why Mr. X is chasing you? Really? You want to see more of Birkin or Irons? Well fuck you because we're not explaining shit. Go read a file that might be mistranslated if you want that) Leon flat out denies and ignores Annette's warning about Ada, despite the fact that Ada is not acting at all like she did in the original game. Ada pines for Leon. Ada attacks X. ZOMG....YOU'RE SO SPECIAL TO ME! She "dies" and Leon acts like its the end of the world.

Well he always do that, dont you remember when Luis Sera dies in RE4 "LOUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS"!!!!!!

You have to fulfill certain conditions to unlock some unlockables I believe.

Also, not sure why it haven't been brought up yet but it seems the T virus injecting into "that" monster in Operation Javier isn't a plot hole. There's a file which says JAvier first used T-virus then he got the T from the Veronica or something.

W-Woah.... Brittany Moser is one sexy lady. Does she have little freckles on her nose? That is too cute.

[Archelon]

He has a character bio, yeah.

Unless someone beats me to it, I'll type it up for you when I get back from running a few errands.

[RE-Hiro]

Does Ada have a Character Bio?? How do i unlock it??

[Archelon]

Chris' bio:

Several months prior to the destruction of Raccoon City, during the Mansion Incident, Chris found the Arklay Research Lab and uncovered Umbrella's plot. But due to a systematic cover-up, the entire matter was cloaked in darkness and none of his information saw the light of day. At that point, Chris decided to travel to Europe to look into matters on his own. When Chris departed, he broke off contact with his younger sister, Claire, in order to avoid exposing her to danger. But, anxious about his safety, Claire set off by herself to find him, and subsequently got caught up in the Raccoon City disaster. She then followed her brother to Europe, was captured by Umbrella, and imprisoned on Rockfort Island. After learning of Claire's imprisonment from Leon, Chris took off immediately for Rockfort Island. There he met Albert Wesker, picked up on Claire's trail, and travelled to Antarctica.

Ada's bio:

The Asian woman Leon met in the Raccoon City Police Department's underground parking facility. Ada had actually been working undercover at Umbrella as a spy for a rival corporation. Ada, who prior to the incident obtained information about the G-Virus from a researcher at the Arklay Laboratory, received orders to obtain it, and came to the zombie-overrun Raccoon City in search of the virus. In order to get clues, she tried to find Ben Bertolucci, who had been investigating related cases prior to the biological disaster. After Ben's death, she encountered Annette Birkin while tracking her husband William Birkin who by this point had mutated into a single-minded monster. Ada was rescued from that critical situation by Leon, who risked his life to save her. From that moment, her feelings toward Leon changed. Later, Ada risked her own life to help Leon against the unstoppable Tyrant.

I'm so frustrated.. I've beaten the game on normal and easy, I've beaten the secret Krauser scenarios and I've gotten both the good and bad endings.. -AND I STILL HAVEN'T UNLOCKED TOFU MODE!! D8<

Also.. If anyone knows where exactly to find the Code Veronica section voice files, I will love you forever. * u*..

[Ray]

Okay, so I'm at the near-end of the CVx (Game of Oblivion) scenario. I just wanted to post some impressions.

Memory of a Lost City:
Overall, it's pretty nice. Camera can get a little TOO shaky, and the sewers may have been a little too redundant. Also, does Birkin's/G's 3rd form know karate or what? Though, the voice acting was really good, especially Claire's, Sherry's, and Annette's. Speaking of Annette, I liked what they did to her, making her more sympathetic to her daughter. Just wish they touched up Leon and Ada's relationship a little. Seemed so stagnant.

Game of Oblivion (so far):
Pretty nice. Though they skipped the French Umbrella HQ cutscene (one of my favorites), I liked how they started it. Though, where's Rodrigo? Dammit. Steve is just so adorable. Sexy, too. Claire, she's just fucking hot... Alfred was great, IMO. He seemed more insane, more emotionally broken. Alexia's just a bitch (just like the original!). But, unlike the original, she's a whole different kind of bitch. Also, there were some unneeded story changes, like Alexia Spoiler:

show spoiler

killing Alfred,

or Alfred not dying on the footsteps of her cryostasis tube. Or Wesker not being there for the epic fight. Or her transforming on the platform instead of against WESKAH. I mean, seriously? WTF. Nosferatu was okay. Those spiders and the sweepers are just damn annoying. The backstory for the Linear Launcher (with Alexander) is pretty nice, too. On Alexia's transformed designs, I really liked how they did her 1st transformation. 2nd one... meh. Okay, but... yeah. Haven't gotten to her 3rd one.

Question: Does anyone know how to defeat Alexia's 2nd form? I just climbed the ladder, but keep dying at that spot. You know, where her two tentacles just keep hitting you, and where she continuously shoots fireballs at you? Yeah, that place.

Operation Javier (so far):
Nice. Leon's not my favorite character, at all, but I liked how they gave him more of a RE2-Leon feel, rather than RE4-Leon feel. Krauser is pretty kewl, but is it me, or does he look a LOT older? Manuela is okay. Haven't gotten as far as her being useful (I just passed the part, right before the CVx scenario. where she jumps in the water after Leon and Krauser). Also, Javier being Spoiler:

show spoiler

Manuela's father?

I soooooo saw that coming. But, I'll just have to wait and see. Seems more interesting than I thought.

So far, 8.5/10.

Whoa. This was a long post...

[Kei_M]

I finished Memories of a Lost City on hard, and I'm missing two character bios...who I presume are Ada and Sherry, I'm not sure what I did wrong...I got like an A rank in every section, do I need to get S ranks in certain chapters or what? I'm also looking for part one of Sherry calls, all the Alfred talks and all the Krauser calls. =[ Damn the lack of players guide.

I'm totally at a loss on how to unlock the alternate costumes (only got Leon's agent and RPD, Krausers alternate, and Chris' alternate from beating the game on easy) and Tofu mode...

Ernest Heinz (William I supose)
Caitlin Cauchy (Annette)
Brittany Moser (Manuela)
Emilio Roso(Javier)

So from that, I can assume that Mike Greene and Caitlin Mispagel are Alfred and Alexia.

Still would like to know who the face model of Claire is though
