Line 75:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Kurt, whose files are read and story uncovered in "Flashback".
* [[Inventory Management Puzzle]]: Oh so very much, especially offline. Yoko often alleviates this problem - in fact, some players have one player deliberately die as Yoko, so they can use the corpse as a storage device.
* [[ItsIt's the Only Way To Be Sure]]: Both games end with the missile bombardment of Raccoon City.
* [[Joke Character]]:
** The Mr. and Mrs. series of secret characters. They're ''coloured stick figures''.
Line 81:
* [[Just in Time]]: Averted. If you manage to outrun a countdown by a significant margin (not that hard to do on some of the ''File #1'' levels), then you just have to stand around until it's done.
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: Jim's coin. Each flip which comes up heads gives him a stackable (to 3) 15% critical hit chance. If he has the time to flip three heads in a row (many levels have safe rooms where you could), he becomes an absolute [[Badass]].
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Necessary at times to solve some minor puzzles or go foraging for items and ammo; otherwise, [[Never Split the Party|never splitting the party]] is recommended.
** Offline, you can tell AI that tend to follow you around (for example, Yoko) to split up. Some (like David) automatically go off on their own.
** Typically, on scenarios with multiple pathways, each of your AI companions will automatically take a path each, meaning you'll be separated from one of your companions for a good portion of that scenario.
Line 87:
* [[Lock and Key Puzzle]]: Present and accounted for.
* [[Lost Forever]]: The online functionality, now that Capcom has shut ''all'' of their servers down. When questioned about the prospect of a [[Play Station 3|PS2 Classics]] release, they confirmed that online play would remain disabled.
* [[Luck -Based Mission|Luck Based Event]]: In the "Outbreak" scenario, certain events have a 1/16 chance of triggering such as seeing a wine bottle fall and break. In ''File #2'', there is also a chance of your hearing an unseen person's scream in "Wild Things". Playing as Jim increases your chances of experiencing both, which are added to your Event List.
* [[Mad Libs Dialogue]]: The canned "contextual" ad-libs made by pressing the Square button. [[Your Mileage May Vary|One might argue]] that these were part of the reason for said spinoff's lack of success. [[Word of God]] at the time was this was ''deliberate'' in order to ratchet up tension between the players.
* [[Menu Time Lockout]]: Averted when you're checking your inventory or map (Start); played straight when you are in the system/options menu (Select).
Line 137:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Zombies normally ignore Bob entirely during "Outbreak", but if the player stands behind him when they attack, he'll get struck instead, and it doesn't take him long to die given his condition. He can also, with some careful positioning, be hauled out the window by the zombies up the first flight of stairs from the bar.
* [[With This Herring]]: Justified most of the time, as none of the citizens were expecting to get attacked, and Kevin and Mark both start with their standard-issue firearms.
* [[Workplace -Acquired Abilities]]/[[You Have Researched Breathing]]: Some of the survivors have skills which logically follow from their clothing or training. For example, combat boot-wearing Kevin can boot zombies. Others have skills that are just plain obvious, like Cindy's amazing ability to duck. Or Yoko thinking to wear a backpack.
* [[You All Meet in An Inn|You All Meet In Jack's Bar]]: "Outbreak". With the wonky canon, this could also happen in an actual inn, an infested zoo, a safehouse, etc.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Duh.
