 The trenchcoat boss whom Leon ridiculously calls "Trenchie" at the end Claire took out her lipstick, then fired it. Turns out her lipstick was a mini rocket launcher and killed the boss. 

Yeah....

I've finished the game and don't remember that. Maybe I blinked. Or it only happens if you play as one or the other character.

Bah, game is starting to annoy me. Shaking camera is hell on bosses. 

They seem to be throwing annoying bosses at me by the second, I think I faced off with 3 in a row and each boss has fake deaths. 

So you have their life bar, you drain it, using your heavy weapons, only to realise, ooops, there's another stage and a whole new life bar. Only to do the same and have him revive for a third battle. Only now you have no ammo left and the game has auto saved so you can't go back without replaying the entire level again. 

Also, maybe my memories are off, but in Umbrella it seemed to have more variety. The RE2 portion of Darkside, it feels like I'm playing the whole of Re2 in synopsis form. I needs a break from RE2. It's mission after mission here.

I think you are on drugs. Nyaa

OHHHHHH... you are talking about Ada. Ada Wong, secret agent, she is a spy so rocket launcher lipstick is a normal thing.

 Was it Ada? I can't remember. But lipstick rocket launcher was involved.

Code veronica section is more enjoyable to me. It runs at a better framerate and isn't incesscently throwing bosses in my face. 

Game is starting to annoy me. It sort of looks high budget but then you can see cheap things they do like running though several times through small environments to pad out time. 

The camera is still annoying and they go out of their way to throw almost unavoidable hits your way. How many times do I have to walk past a body on the ground only to turn around and have a fraction of second to react?

Also the bosses. I hate it that you can only do damage when the game wants you to do damage.

Yup, one aspect I really didn't like when compared to UC.

I think overall I feel like Umbrella Chronicles had more variety and because of the shaky camera and excessive bosses and way the boss fights are structured in Darkside, I prefer the first game.
