What is the best file from the classic REs?

[Anonymous No.8694101]

For me it's Marvin's Report where he details how he has recovered one of the gems that where stolen from the city hall and stored it in the evidence room.
It's so funny to me that, despite the city being infested with monsters and consumed by a raging fire, he still managed to find time to catch a common thief that stole something of absolutely no importance.

[Anonymous No.8694307]

The one in RE2 that explains that the police station is actually a library which is actually a police station which is actually a library.

It's the best testament to RE2's identity crisis.

MONSTERS IN ARKLAY MOUNTAINS?

Some people claim they've seen monsters in the Arklay mountains.
The monsters are supposedly about the same size as large dogs and usually run in a pack as wolves do.
This may sound like a group of ordinary wild dogs, but these monsters are surprisingly fierce and hard to hurt.
They say these dogs won't bother you unless you wake them, so you smart readers should stay out of the Arklay Mountains for the time being.
But if you're looking for adventure, check it out! You wanna try?

ANIMAL ATTACK? WOMAN MUTILATED

May 20. Around 10 PM a 20-year-old young woman's body was found by a passer-by on the left bank of Marble River in the Cider District of Raccoon City.
Raccoon police assume it to be a grizzly or other animal's doing because there are teeth marks along her mutilated arms and left foot that show considerable power. Since she was wearing a hiking boot on her remaining foot, it has been determined that she was attacked in the Arklay Mountains and fell into the river. They are hurrying to identify this woman.

MYSTERY ON ARKLAY MOUNTAINS: MOUNTAIN ROAD BLOCKED

Due to successive disasters in the Arklay Mountains, the city authorities have decided to block the road leading to the foothills.
At the same time, Raccoon police intend to begin the search for lost people with the help of S.T.A.R.S. team members. They expect great difficulty because of the vast size of the Arklay Mountains and the primeval forest that covers most of the area.
Also people are still reporting sightings of grotesque monsters in the mountains.

He probably recovered the gem and wrote the report about it in the days before the outbreak.

I don’t remember the exact date, but it’s placed after the town is in already in disarray. You could argue that things only really got hopeless with the fire that spread through city, and until that point everything was working as normal as possible but it still sounds really funny.

What's up with that weird report that talks about someone fucking around the sewers who drops a night vision scope and some other goodies when a cop approached them?
Was it an Umbrella goon?

Its been a long time since I played the original RE2 but I am assuming that file is referring to either Hunk or one of his other teammates who were sent to retrieve the G Virus from William Birkin. Probably Hunk though, because I think all of his other teammates died during the mission.

Or it could have been some other random Umbrella spook who was investigating the reports of the virus being transmitted to animals in the sewers who got caught while oper8ting I guess.

Some people deal with stress by giving themselves structure. I worked with a guy once whose wife died and he just threw himself into menial work for 12 hours a day every day for a few months just so he wouldn't have to think about it.

A photo I got from Barry.

There's something written on the back.

"Dear sweet Moira & Polly.

I don’t remember that one. But it couldn’t be Hunk, right? He wakes up after the city station has been sieged so there couldn’t be any cop left to search the sewers. And even if they could, wouldn’t they also find the bodies of the other mercenaries in Hunks team?

how else would they have done it? government shutting down umbrella is the way to do it.
Where you expecting a big shoot out at umbrella hq against a giant zombified human trex that later turns into a gigantic skyscraper sized zombie fly that can only be killed by sticking lightning rods at it to electrocute it at the top of the tallest building in the city while a freak lightning storm is happening and the building is filled to the brim with zombies?

[Anonymous No.8696867]

>>8696832
I would have followed the original plan and had them shut down between RE1 and 2.

[Anonymous No.8696870]

>>8696832
Actually, RE3 already explained why Umbrella couldn't be shut down through normal means, and CVX, 0, and the betas of 4 were meant to show why shutting them down wouldn't solve the issue.
In 3, it's just asserted that Umbrella has the government on the defensive, as shown in the final area, and the fact that the US was also exploring viral research, which Umbrella knows about since they tried to take Birkin.
CV and 0 show that the founders of Umbrella were also eccentric people and that the company was always a front for this research, and since it's so close to completion, what with the failure of G-Birkin, the prototypes of Nemesis and the t-002, and the close perfections of Wesker and Alexia (as well as Marcus' pseudo resurrection). 4's initial idea wasn't even an Umbrella takedown, but more like setup for it, with Leon tracking down Spencer, and Wesker's HCF unit doing the same.
Hell, post-4 media basically ignored the stock market explanation and went back to the core idea. Spencer alone in his castle, Umbrella getting a big take down in Umbrella Chronicles, and now they're trying to recreate the initial Umbrella storyline with "The Connections".

That's basically what happens tho

[Anonymous No.8696915]

>>8694101
I like the file you find near the start of RE2 that explains how the PD responded to the initial zombie outbreak, and that ammunition was taken out of the ammo storage and spread across the PD for easier access as the situation got more desperate. It's a nice little justification for why you find ammo lying around everywhere

I don't want to make a new thread: if I played Leon A, Claire B, is there a way to do Claire A, Leon B on the same file so I can do that route while grinding for the Tofu scenario (that I guess needs 3 completions on the same file)? It just dumped me right back to Leon A.

The file in RE1 that finally reveals that all the freaks you've been fighting against are products complete with code names, and of course culminating in the legendary reveal of Wesker as an Umbrella researcher. While still wearing the sunglasses of course.
