Best RE game, IMO.

Jill or Chris?
Did you save Richard in time?
Did you save both your teammates?
Any notable deaths you want to share?
Also what difficulty?

i tried to play this recently and didn't make it very far. it's a little too frustrating with the limited ammo/fuel, hard to dodge in narrow hallways, crimson heads, fixed camera often makes the action too far away/off screen/unhelpful angle. there's a lot to like but i can't really get a handle on it (though i made it farther than on gamecube so i'm getting better)

Played Jill on Hiking difficulty, which I assumed was Normal, but its actually Easy mode. It goes Very Easy, Easy, Normal. I was kind of annoyed to find that out. Im aware Jill/Chris have a few differences, so Ill definitely play as Chris in the future.

Richard died the first time, but after realizing it was possible to save him, I reloaded the save and was faster. The Assault Shotgun was a nice reward.

Yes I saved both Barry and Chris. I knew Wesker was the bad guy just from common knowledge, but the game really does a solid job making you suspect Barry.

For whats essentially a ps1 game, I was surprised how meaty the game was. I thought the game would take place mainly in the mansion, so I was surprised to realize that by the time you get the 4 death masks, youre only like 1/3 of the way through the game. Really happy with the length.

The game also does a great job with tension and suspense. I was aware going in that resource management and being careful is a big focus, but my butthole was clenched for 90% of the game lol. Even after clearing out the mirror hallway, I refused to go back if possible, and would be sweating buckets if I was forced to use it. The 3 window-breaking instances were also pretty scary, with the Dogs, the 4 zombies near the washroom upon return, and the 2 Hunters near the East save room.

Also I wanted to mention that in real life I now have an involuntary physical response to seeing a Jerry can. Im not even joking lmao, I breathe a huge sigh of relief and relax my body without even thinking about it

Kenneths Video was without doubt the most disappointing part of the entire game, like wtf. Zero payoff. The whole ending portion as soon as you find Wesker and Tyrant is kind of rushed, I feel like they couldve elaborated a bit more. I get that Wesker (or his dad?) was an Umbrella scientist, but I dont really understand his goals still. Also, Lisa Trevor jumping into the abyss is the last time we see her, right? That seemed kind of inconclusive also tbh.

Amazing game all around though. Also, because of the fixed camera angles and changing perspectives, tank controls work perfectly. I have no idea why people complained about those, it makes more sense than the analog sticks 90% of the time

The game REALLY gets fun when you go for the unlocks and up the difficulty. I recommend trying it some time.

Agreed. One the things I really like about RE games is that, even though they tend to be kind of short and only a few modes to play, they lend themselves really well to speed and challenge runs, so they end up being very replayable.

Give RE2 a shot, the original. Less visually impressive but it has even better level design and the best implementation of a dual character system that RE ever did

yea I plan to do the original RE2, RE3, and then zero. Then Ill move on to 4,5,6 and the modern remakes. Also gonna fit Code Veronica in there somewhere. Probably after 3, or after zero

I usually like to post a topic on CE when I finish a game, so youll probably see it. That being said, I like to put a good amount space in between playing a game of the same genre, to cleanse the palate a bit. Im currently playing Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, a short+easy ps1 rpg with a grid -based battle system. I wouldnt really call in an SRPG. Its super cute and funny, Atlus USA has really never failed a localization job, even way back in 1999

Ehhh, you can skip Zero, honestly it's among the weakest RE games and it actually breaks canon, or continuity at least.

Code Veronica is considered extra credit also but if you like tank-control RE games, give them both a whirl.

0 > CV.

0 doesnt have a character so unbearably bad that they ruin the game.

Hard disagree. Spoiler that TC probably already knows about: CV is the one that establishes Wesker is alive and has superpowers.

I like that it was a Gamecube exclusive and a solid port was made for the Wii. The story is silly and completely superfluous and segments poorly when Rebecca makes her appearance in REmake.

Though to be fair Billy is just as boring as nearly all of RE's male protagonists. Leon's got the personality of a loaf of bread but still beats out Billy in charisma.

Controlling two antagonists at once is a fun idea though, even if at times it can be frustrating.

Zero and Veronica are both tedious for the sake of being tedious. I have love for them but I don't play them nearly as much as other RE games.

Especially REmake, which I don't have to remind anyone, is a masterpiece.

Absolutely, I love the length of this game.. just finished it for the first time earlier this year and loved the entire experience

Much more intense than RE:2 REMAKE tbh same with RE:0 imo

yeah it's fun. i like how it makes you think, like the whole game is a sort of puzzle where you weigh every move you make. i figured out baiting and dodging zombies better so now i mostly breeze by them unless i'm cornered. and i stopped being quite so precious with health and ammo, though being that way early paid off since i have a comfortable little stock built up

They are pretty awesome and nerve-wracking, but once you figure the game out they stop becoming a problem and you can prevent them from appearing altogether (except for the one body in the mirror hallway which always reanimates no matter what you do, and of course the Elder in the coffin)
