Resident Evil

Yes, Resident Evil. That lovely game about zombies, not zombies, and Jill Sandwiches. Let's get to business, shall we?

Main Series
Just a heads up. The only RE I have played is 4, so I'm just going to be linking to Wiki's for the games. A little in-depth about RE4 and Umbrella Chronicles, though.

The original, the creator of it all, and the most quoted in the series: Resident Evil. Mostly known for it's horrible, horrible voice acting, FMV's, horrible script("I was almost a Jill Sandwich","You, the master of unlocking", just to name a few), bad camera and it's awesome atmosphere and gameplay. We are so lucky to have this today. It was ported a few times, had a remake, had Dual shock editions, good times.

Resident Evil 2: The second in the game, and our introduction to Leon S. Kennedy, everyone's favorite protagonist. It is widely regarded as the best of the traditional RE's...I think. Also, HUNK and TOFU! YAY!
This was the prototype.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Don't know much about it. Cool subtitle, though.

Code Veronica: All I know is from reading a Let's Play on it.(More on that in a few)

4 Resident Evil: Need I say more?

Resident Evil 5: All I know is we're out of Not Spain and we're not fighting Not Zombies.

Spin-off's
Dead Aim. Light-gun game. Bad.

At the request of the thread

Numero Dos

Another crappy light-gun game. Played it in an arcade once. Really awkward.

Umbrella Chronicles: A wii game that takes us through the series in a Lightgun-like style. And it has Co-op! CO-OP!! I'll take two!

Required Reading
Click on the Resident Evil's. Trust me, worth the investment.
You better all thank the Dark Id.
Another Dark Id LP!

Things that do not exist!
RE: Survivor, RE: Gaiden. Never happened. NEVER HAPPENED!

And with all that said, let us discuss Resident Evil. Our favorite game(RE4), our favorite moments, our favorite lines, all that good shit.

And remember, YOU'RE SMALL TIME!

    ProTip: For a rare treasure, before killing Del Lago in RE4, stand on the dock of the lake and empty a magazine of handgun bullets into the water.

    Also, Resident Evil rules. Definitely one of my top five franchises of all time. I never got around to beating Code: Veronica, and now it's impossible to find on PS2.

    An RE4 fan with a bit too much free time:
    Normally, if you jump down a ladder and try to look up Ashley's skirt, she will grab it and call you a pervert. However, there is a location where she does not do this. In Chapter 2-3, go to the lifts, after going down one of the paths. Climb onto one and go all the way down to the other side, shooting the Gonadas [sic] coming up on other lifts and the ones on the platforms. Once you get all the way down, go down the stairs nearby. Go to the cave that is here that has window-like holes. Be careful, as there are two dynamite wielding Gonadas at the entrance. Kill them then jump over the wall and go up the ladder. Kill the Gonada. Jump down, but leave Ashely up there. Try looking up her skirt with a sniper. She will not grab her skirt and call you a pervert because she is too high up. Note: There are more ladders where you can do this. Find one with a large drop and it should work. For example, if you have already gotten past Chapter 2-3, you can do this trick on the ladder you go down just after defeat Saddler in the final chapter.

    After you defeat Ramon Salazar, walk further and there will be an intermission sequence where Ada will ask Leon if he needs a ride, and he accepts. When Ada brings him to the island, she will hook a rope onto the top of a cliff and say" I have some business to take care of". While she is saying that, look at her skirt (especially when she goes to jump up). You can also see more of Ashley than usual when you jump out the window of the church and when you get on the jet ski.

    Sounds like someone spends so much time alone with himself, his right hand wishes that it came off.

    Edit: When I was typing this, nobody else had made a 'right hand comes off joke'. Goddammit people!

    I finally dove into Separate Ways in RE4 tonight. For whatever reason, I'm not enjoying it as much as the main game. Do you ever get to an area that you don't see as Leon?

    As long as the next installment doesn't involve wandering in the desert for hours on end I fail to see how that could even be a problem at all.

    Sounds like the stamina meter in MGS3 only retarded. How do you lower your body temperature? Quick Chris, you need a cold shower STAT! Here douse yourself with this bottle of gatoraid. I've got a cooler full of popsicles at the next save room.

    OK, so even though I bought and gave away the game for $5 new back when I didn't own a PS2, I just paid $15 for Resident Evil Outbreak (not mentioned in the OP; neither is the sequel). I only have a PS3 and no guncon adapter yet. Did I make a mistake?

    It's a crossbow with exploding arrows. Sort of like Krauser's in his boss battle, yeah.

    It basically ensures that you never need to touch an incendiary or hand grenade ever again.

    N64 only had some special EX files and random item placement.

    PS version was the first most basic version with all regular special modes/items.

    Dual shock had all that, plus a cool extreme battle mode.

    PC, DC and GC versions all have the extreme battle mode and all other modes but have nicer higher resolution graphics.

    So take your pick.
