I started on normal thinking I'm good and it's bloody challenging. I've forgotten loads of the game too so it feels fresh again. Just reached the castle, dreading the bit where they keep carrying Ashley off...
I'm looking forward to replaying 5. I know it got a lot of stick but I actually enjoyed it more than most, nice to see it has all the mercenaries DLC characters etc. I love that mode'
I've dipped my toe into 6. Hmm I knew it was universally panned but I was hoping it would be enjoyable at least. Started with Leon and it's cliche, linear and his melee skills practically make guns pointless. Does anyone know which campaigns are best, or rather in order best to worst?
If I remember correctly Leon's is best.
It's genuinely worrying people say Leon's is the best story. I started it a few days ago and hated it. Even on normal it's an absolute chore to play through (why they thought horde sections where you just had to survive wave after wave of zombie when ammo is pretty scarce anyway was a good idea I'll never know). Constantly respawning enemies in the graveyard and stuff is brilliant, too. And the fact that even when you're playing in split screen on the same console there's no way of actually pausing the game without going back to the dashboard
It's just stupid, lazy design everywhere you look. But at least you can change the colour of your laser sight(!)
[EDIT: Turns out that even bringing the dashboard up doesn't pause it! Resumed the game to be met with the YOU ARE DEAD screen. strawberry floating hell

I like the sections where you've got random survivors that you think you're meant to protect and then they all die regardless of how many actually die during the fight.
Also FatDaz - Resi 4 doesn't really have any difficulties other than NORMAL and then the unlockable harder ones. I'm still amazed that a game that seems to be a glorified escort mission got such universal praise. And the fact that you have to waste your own healing items on Ashley is terrible. At least Resi 5 made the healing stuff heal both players if they were standing together.
I wish you could buy ammo from the merchant, too. It'd make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable knowing that if you don't quite have enough bullets for a stressful section up ahead you could just stock up from a guy who seems to have bullets galore piled up on his counter - Just not for you.
