Once again I fell for the "the latest Resident Evil is amazing!" meme
No, it wasn't amazing, it was subpar. I'll be nice and give it 6/10

Quick review, contains mild spoilers -

-Far too short. You can finish the game in one hour in a speedrun

-Nemesis sequences are mostly "hold shift and W to run" with no skill involved

-Boss fights suck. They tried to give a gimmick of hitting the fuel tank, hitting the electric panels, put a mine where Nemsis is running etc. But those gimmick are pointless - the boss fights still suck

-Game is too linear. Making replaybility terrible. I have played it 6 times (twice on Assisted for the No Healing/No item box achievements and once per difficulty) and every single run was the same
Yes, Nightmare adds new enemies in locations and it can be surprising sometimes, and yes, it also locks the door to the Donut Shop, but THAT'S IT.

-Final boss is a joke on Standard but the most cheapass motherfucker on higher difficulties. It can instakill you with a stunlock and it's so stupid and lame

-Overall the game feels more like a michael bay movie rather than a game. Yay, explosions! wow, who the fuck still gets hyped from those things?

-There is a massive dip in quality after Raccoon City in terms of how the enviroment look. In Raccoon City they put a lot of effort into posters, shops, cutscenes etc. But in the sewers and NEST? boringggg. Hospital is passable, but barely

-I mentioned this a few days ago but despite doing a whole series marathon of RE this year, I still barely remember the original RE3. And even though I forgot many things, there are a lot of things I am surprised to see they cut the clock tower, the sandworm fight and the whole forest path to the lab. Also I wanted to see Jill and Carlos being stuck in the Gas Station recreated, I wanted to see the part with the electrical fence and frying some zombies..but nope

-Although I mentioned they put effort into Raccoon City, it was still pretty small compared to what I expected it would be

-Fuck, you can't go back to Dario Rosso to check up on him

-Where are the fucking puzzles? come on, the one with the train stations and the other one with the "Mid High Low" were jokes

-I know this is not a open world game but I most say the RE2R and RE3R are showing the WORST use of scenery to roadblock. It's fucking painful It's so obvious how they use the cars and fences to block the road and make the map so small and linear. It's never so obvious in other games as it is in those two. Those fucking setpieces thrown around everywhere to block your path..ugh

-Just a general feel of the game being rushed. The engine is ready and super good. Most assets are from RE2 (including RPD) why not use it and pump out RE3 as fast as possible? of course, easy money. It was less than 1 year of dev time and it shows.
I'll be honest and say I enjoyed RE6 more than this one. Say whatever you want about RE6, it had tons of issues, but at least the amount of content is insane. Go ahead, compare how many bosses, locations, enemies, cutscenes etc RE6 compared to RE3R and you will see how rushed RE3R was

No, I saw that part. But it doesn't jive with the speedrun part, considering about half of RE games (including original RE3) are under an hour, most of the rest are under 90 minutes, and the only one over 2 hours is the bloatfest of RE6.

This is pretty much Resident Evil's core concept.

I can't believe the Clock Tower still has the same build up to it with the train puzzle and the file you still read about it....and it's not there.

Swap RE5 and RE4, then that looks like a pretty solid ranking to me!

(I'd also have RE6 at the top of B-Rank but I know that's a crazy unpopular take, lol)

Otherwise sold list, and I'm assuming 5 is that high with co-op involved, not AI. >_>

I think I've made the post around here about RE5 and pumping literally 100 hours into it with Dante and fighting the world war on Lost in Nightmares.

RE5 isn't a solo game to me and I had a lot more total fun with it than RE4. I realize that's not going to be a hot take everyone has, but for me it takes RE4 and makes it better in almost every way. Whereas RE6 makes it worse in almost every way.

I totally agree about RE5. Playing it split-screen with my brother all the way through was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had with a game.

And don't get me wrong, RE4 is still a good game. It's just Resident Evil has such a high bar for me in total.

RE5 helped welcome me to the HD era of video games. Back in early 2009, I couldn't fucking believe how incredible it looked. Seriously, I was shocked. When it launched, a buddy came by with his big monitor, and we ran through the whole game on that dual-monitor setup in one day. It was an epic intro to the game, and I did put a ton of time into it during 2009. That said, I haven't returned once since then, whereas RE4 is truly a timeless experience that keeps me coming back every couple years.

As for RE6... it's the only numbered game in the series that I couldn't get into. I couldn't even beat the freakin DEMO I disliked it that much.

Resident Evil 6 is a game that took several years to grow on me, about when it released again for Xbox One. I really like the stories in that game to be perfectly honest and the games' action features are terrific and really push what a TPS can be and I'm still floored to this day how more features from it haven't become commonplace in other games. Is it what I want from a RE game though? No, not really. And that's the main issue for me.

I know it doesn't do anything for the tone of the game but straight visually it's wild how much better it looks with the green filter modded out!

A tier list, uh? ok, let's do this

S+ Rank-
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil REmake

S Rank-
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Resident Evil 5

A Rank-
Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil Zero

B Rank-
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil Revelations
Resident Evil The Mercaneries 3D

C Rank-
Resident Evil 3 Remake
Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles
Resident Evil the Umbrella Chronicles

Very Meh Tier-
Resident Evil Survivor 2 Code Veronica
Resident Evil Gaiden

What the FUCK is this shit-
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Resident Evil Umbrella Corps
Resident Evil Dead Aim
Resident Evil Survivor

I can't rank those-
Resident Evil Outbreak
Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2

-Resident Evil 4 and REmake are both perfect 10/10 video games
-Resident Evil Revelations 2 is the most underrated game in the series. Not hated like 6, just massively underplayed. Hell, even SHINE didn't play it!
-Resident Evil 5 has the best combat mechanics in the series
-Resident Evil Zero is underrated. It's a damn good game but it has the item box problem. Otherwise, it's very good! better than 2 and 3 imo
-Resident Evil 6, whether you hate it or not, you must admit it has the most content for any game in the series, nothing comes close
-The Mercaneries 3D is hated for no reason. It suffers from being on a weak system, but it's good anyway
-The Chronicles games are surprisingly decent. For being spin-off games, they didn't suck like the others!
-I am sorry but I can't rank the Outbreak games. I can just say they are the "worst good" games I ever played. They have so much potential...and yet, something didn't click. They are not meant for Single Player. The AI is too dumb. I feel like I needed to play it in multiplayer to rank it
-Only tried REsistence tutorials and deleted it. It looks fine and promising..but I don't care about online multiplayer games, and I hear the the community is shrinking everyday so why bother

"Hey, it's up to us to take out Umbrella" is a legit LEGENDARY line for me. RIP Paul Haddad. He may be gone but RE2 and his performance there will live forever.

This game is really mediocre. Nemesis is such an awful Enemy in this game. Wasted potential. Lazy job by Capcom and the Multiplayer is absolute trash.

You go from a superb Remake in 2 to this garbage. Oh well..Capcom were in a roll with a bunch of quality games over the past few years. They had to bring out a dud

Going back to RE2Make helped put that unfortunate truth in perspective. I didn't expect RE3 to have any area as well designed as the RCPD (the original didn't), but nothing comes close. Combine that with the Clock Tower disappointment and Nemesis taking such a big backseat to Mr. X, and ehh... I'm not sure when I'll revisit this game when I could just be playing RE2.
