But, mother... I want all the files noooooooow!

Well, honestly, I'm sure they are not that hard to find... I just feel impatient.

Oh, and about the mini-game:

Er, by the way, is anyone else getting slaughtered on the Tofu mini-game? Three hits and you're dead. I always die in the same place, when the hordes of tofu begin moving really fast. Do you get anything if you beat it?

How do you unlock the Tofu scenario? -And are there any secret scenarios for the CVX section?

Thanks!

I'm lost. People thought the thing with Steve in C:V was dramatic and emotional? Emotional, yes, in the way that I could not stop laughing.

I'll be total honest when I say I actually started crying at that part when I first played it. Granted, I was a kid, and the guy who had been booking it with me suddenly kicked the bucket saving Claire. Yeah. I was upset.

Nowadays, though? When I watch it, and the music starts up after he delivers his 'dramatic' speech, I lost it. I busted out laughing, but the overall sadness of the scene was still there for me.

I dunno if it was because I played it when I was younger or what, but that scene just struck a cord with me. NOT as much as Alfred's, but still. I get a twinge in my chest when I watch it. I was dreading seeing it in DSC for the very reason that 1) the voice wasn't horrendous and 2) Steve was REALLY cute. :c

Damn. I really wish Capcom would release a guidebook. Like, now. I'm missing so many files, and I'm getting that restless, anxious, OCD feeling when I look at all the missing shit in the Archive. There are several files I desperately want to find.

Are there even any files that mention Sherry? So far, all the files I've collected in RE2 scenario really haven't said anything new. It's aggravating.

I hate how you have to shoot crap to find crap. I mean, come on.

There are no files detailing Sherry post-RE2. All of the text files from the RE2 section are taken almost directly from the original game. The three audio files are of Sherry and Annette talking over the phone, but they only go up to Sherry getting to the police station.

I've been having a heck of a time unlocking everything, too. I pretty much just started lobbing grenades everywhere in the hopes of finding something. It doesn't work as well as I had initially hoped though, because they don't destroy everything in the environment like in UC.

This is what the fine folks at Project Umbrella are here for...right, News Bot?

What the...? I've been doing all the work for the past three days. XD

But, mother... I want all the files noooooooow!

I haven't beaten it yet either, and I keep getting killed at the same place you do.

You unlock the Tofu scenario by beating the game, and there are no secret scenarios for the CVX section.

[News Bot]

I get the game tomorrow. Cutscenes, files and the audio recordings will follow.

Thanks alot! Ha-ha, you are a very helpful individual! .. I beat the game but I didn't unlock it.. Strange.. I guess I will play the last chapter again, maybe? Maybe I need to beat the secret O:J scenario with Krauser.. Bah, I'll figure it out eventually. No secret scenario for CVX, huh? That sucks..

Say, have you unlocked the voice files for CV yet?

Hmm, that's strange. Maybe there's something else you have to do to unlock it? If I fulfilled any extra requirements to do it, I have no idea what they are. I just beat the game and it was there.

And no, I haven't unlocked any of the audio files for CV yet. I just started playing through it on Hard yesterday, but I had to take a break, because I've been playing the game almost nonstop since Monday. XD

This is totally random, but speaking of CV, I really liked how they handled Alfred, personally. I really enjoyed hearing him taunt Claire and Steve over the intercom as you progressed through the stages. I mentioned this once before, but it really reminded me of The Riddler in Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is a huge plus in my book.

[TheBatMan]

Do any files in Op Javier hint at a date for the incident, or is it really just 'sometime in 2002?'

In fact, are many of the new story files dated or are Capcom being their usual selves and letting us do the hard work?

Same here! I've been playing for so many hours that I have shaky cam vision even when I'm not playing.. Ugh! I noticed this time around that the breakable items are alot harder to differentiate from the non-breakable ones, like in Umbrella Chronicles.. It's quite difficult! The shaky cam doesn't help either.. I've only played a few levels on hard, and it's not too bad. A fully upgraded handgun is pretty damn useful! Mwa-ha-ha! >8D

[Archelon]

I'll have to check the files again, but I don't remember any of them being dated specifically.

I found the shaky cam to be much more of an issue when I'm trying to hit really small objects in the environment than whenever I was fighting enemies or a boss. And yeah, Hard hasn't been too difficult so far. My one issue, but this would be the same on all difficulties, is that once you've upgraded your handgun enough, it's almost impossible to get headshots, because shooting an enemy in the head once will kill them, even if you don't actually blow their heads off. And blowing their heads off is what counts as a headshot, so it's been particularly difficult trying to get S ranks on the chapters.

Dailymotion seems to not mind videos been posted so maybe that is an option for anyone willing to do it, slapper12 has been posting off-screen video of it, which I will not complain about, but he seems a slight bit on the slow side to post more and considering it is at the part were they are entering the RPD station in RE2 makes the wait even harder.

[News Bot]

Yeah, I was just joking around.

Oh, I wasn't responding to you. I was just speaking generally. :L
