RE3 is the side game, it doesn't matter

CV was extremely underrated. Probably second best of original style REs

Only one that outdoes it, to me, is the REmake.

Even thought the RE2 remake isn't going to have a fixed camera, it might surpass it.

Actually, I have been saying this since the so-called "RE4" came out.

When RE Code: Veronica was first released, I kept referring to it as "Resident Evil 4" as it was, well, the 4th Resident Evil game.

Code Veronica is the real Code Veronica and R4 is the real R4
Btw, I absolutely love the story in Code Veronica and it might be the best RE story imo, but it has nothing to do with been RE4. This game was so good that it deserved its own name

I played it briefly, a long time ago, it seemed fun. The graphics were quite the improvement on the originals...they now moved. Seemed like a bit of a cash cow, though, an unnumbered spinoff like that.

RE4 was a very good game. I never beat it, but I had a lot of fun on it.

Exactly what I feel about the so-called "Resident Evil 4".

All these statements are preposterous. Everyone knows that Dead Space is the real Resident Evil 4.

RE4 is a flawed game. SPOILERS

Why everyone thinks it's so great is beyond me. The game is full of broken mechanics you can abuse to make it a walk in the park even in the hardest mode.

The enemies run towards you and stop right before reaching you and then they walk slowly giving you enough time to do anything....the A.I. is a joke. "Hey guys there's a ton Ganados coming after me. I'll just shoot one guy in the face and then do a devastating AoE roundhouse kick that will knock everyone away from me(while making me invulnerable). While they're taking their slow ass time to get back up I think I'll seal their fate with my knife"

Not being able to change your weapons in real time is also terrible even for its time several games allowed you to do this....go watch a YouTube of mercenary mode the ones with high scores and I guarantee you they pause more than 20 times.

The knife and pistol is already one of the most powerful weapons in the game. In fact you could clear most of the game with just these two weapons. And because you're not using your other weapons and ammo (because you're lol pwning with the knife) you can then sell your access ammo and other weapons and buy even stronger weapons to literally blow through the bosses.

Let's not forget that if they somehow manage to grab you, it's insanely easy to get out of it and even kill them by kicking their head to explosion, and if you ever think you can get close to me then say hello to my grenades or shotgun lol.

Don't get me wrong guys. I don't hate the game and I certainly enjoyed playing it. I just think it's highly overrated and doesn't deserve the praise Internet nerds give it

Opinions are serious business.

I don't know about opinions, but sodding GRAMMAR sure is.
Access ammo ?! WTF !!
Do yourself a bloody favour and write it down a few dozen times, @Veggeta_X : excess !

You're only making yourself look stupider and stupider for calling me that, when everyone who knows me (including all mods) know full well that this is my ONLY account. But keep making a fool of yourself.
Also learn some English, I reckon it's your main language, the least you could achieve is not writing / typing it like a semi-literate hobo.

No it's the real RE three. Nemesis is 2.5.

I like the game and story. Tragic what happens to Steve.

I just replayed it recently and logged my thoughts as I went.

In short I don't think it's aged as well as RE 2 or 3 but it's still a great game, though a little marred by the weaker controls and nearly fubared by the Dreamcast D-pad. The story is solid though and overall it's still worth playing.
