Hi all, this is my first thread about somethign not pokemon, but I do really enjoy it! The new Resident Evil Installment came out today, and Iv been playing it like mad. Instead of featuring a story this time around, the game is more of a upgrade to the Mercenaries mode from Resident Evil 4 & 5. While this means there is no plot, it is still a lot of fun. You have a certain amount of time to kill as many badies as possible, with all sorts of cool weapons like crossbows, grenade launcher, and Machine Guns. There are 8 playable characters from the main series, each with there own costume and weapons loadout.

Anyway, thats a little info on the game itself. My question to you all is have you bought it, do you like it, and whats your favorite weapons, skills, and character? I like Hunk the most personally, he looks sick and has the MG for most things, the Flash Grenade Launcher for the mutants, but the pistol is a bit lacking, Id rather have a sniper there...

I haven't bought it myself but I do want to question whether or not mercenaries is cannon.
Sorry if this is complete bull, but to my knowledge, Leon doesn't appear in Mercenaries 3d.
Capcom say the reason for this is that Leon has seen too much action in Operation Raccoon City.

"Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata told Eurogamer that Capcom has no plan to make DLC available for the fast-paced action game."
"He's all tied up for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City," Kawata said. "He couldn't make his appearance in Mercenaries."

Leading to the conclusion that Mercenaries is cannon. I've been thinking about this for a while and wondering if anyone else had something to say about this.
 
Yeah, leon isnt playable. I dont quite know what you mean by a cannon though. Mercenaries has been a minigame in the main series up until now. Tell me when you buy it though, Id like to do multiplayer wiht you :)

Iv been messing around with it (on last level now) and in terms of unlockables, you can unlock:
-all 8 characters
-all of the medals
-the skills (like perks)
-you can buy (with play coins) the weapon sets from other characters to use on others.
-beating the first missions unlocks later ones

thats the stuff to do. The games decent, but is getting old already :/ They should have included more missions and the ability to mix and match weapon sets
