Asking people who played the original Resident Evil trilogy for the first time. What do you think about them?
>>736341237does it count if you played these games for the first time when they originally came out?
>>736341421That's cheating. I was curious how young people who never played them before think about them. But you can talk about them if you want.Also, the Resident Evil bundle on GOG is on sales right now.I'm currently replaying RE1 for the first time in almost 30 years and it makes me feel so nostalgic..
>>736341237I played them on release. Tank controls and backtracking have always been bullshit. Playing as Chris in RE1 was a fucking nightmare. I didn't have RE2, but briefly played it with my friend on his console, so I won't pass my judgement. Re3 felt great, but was very short. Playing it for the 1st time felt like a genuine horror game, but the subsequent playthroughs turn it into an action game of "will I manage to fuck Nemesis up on every encounter to get the items". The lab sections have always been the weakest part of every RE.
This thread is gonna be full of retardation. These games are classics. They're legendary. End of story.
>>736341237
>RE1Cool to see the series origins. The voice acting is fun. Fuck the Hunters. I prefer the Remake's game mechanics.>RE2Cute story. Worth playing>RE3OG Nemi is rad. He seems intelligent by today's enemy AI standards. Game is hard as hell at points. You gotta master quick-turning and positioning.I fucking hate the spider enemies in each one. They're very scary.
>>736341237RE1 is turning out to be a chore and I’m not sure if I’ll get around to finishing it RE2 is fantastic and deserves its reputation RE3 has been my favourite thus far, which comes as a surprise because my dad told me it was the weakest of the trilogy
>playing old ass uncslop
>>736342342RE3 was the weakest "RE" of the three but gameplay and mechanics wise, it was the best of the three. It was really fun to play.
RE1 sucks so much ass. The only redeeming factor is the colorful environments,Crazy how millenials think this is the best one in the franchise
>>736341237Just beat RE1 so I can't give you my opinion on all of them, but RE1 was good. Currently on 2 right now and liking it, although not as much as 1. I'm a zoom zoom that plays gun and ball 3.
>no cheevos>no cloud saving>DRM on 30 year old games that you can easily emulate on toaster phonesGenuinely, what's the fucking point of Steam ports of old capcom games?Is it for people who are too dumb to emulate or what? Can you even use mods?This whole thing just seems like a scam to me
>>736342596Because steam is a like the amazon of gaming. It's so popular that if your product isn't on it, people will be less inclined to buy it.
>>736342596I thought cheevos were for trannies and teenagers or something? Idk, you guys flip flop too much.
>>736342580I got stuck on the door lock number and think I made it randomly. The numbers on the billiards table. The plant boss i fought with the knife. I went around the entire game looking for the eagle medallion before I found it. Check every item, guys.
>>736342648I guess that makes senseIt's just weird because both REmake and RE0 got more features over these shallow ports despite being releases from a decade ago>>736342684you have brain worms
>>736341237They're an awesome experience and pretty good on its own, and doesn't matter when you read this
>>736341237They're a cool blend of horror + point and click adventue games
>>736342306> I hate spider enemies You can just run anon, besides Black Tiger all spiders are easy to avoid
first game is kinda ehh i would rather just play the remake2 and 3 are great and 3 in particular is my favorite, always heard 3remake was shit and barely follows it so i guess thats a skipnot really interested in any of the numbered games past 4 so what else should i play? 0, CV?
Why is Chris so useless?
>>736343403no man i'm terrified of them. They're in spots you gotta run through multiple times. I'd rather kill them all
>>736343531Weskers hands types this.
>>736341237Absolute trashI'm old but in this case new is actually good
>>736343564Not really, maybe some of RE3 spiders but that's it. Watch an speedrun, spiders in the classic trilogy and REmake 1 aré slow as fuck, you don't need to kill any of them
>>736343564Best part of the RE1 spiders is how a bunch of baby spiders spawn from their corpses when you kill them. Don't you just love the feeling of all of those spiders crawling all over your skin right at this moment? You know they're going to crawl into every one of your openings when you go to sleep, right?
>>736343430Revelations
>>736343740Is it tasty?
>>736343684>spiders in the classic trilogy and REmake 1 aré slow as fuckThey're fast as fuck in RE1. But they only show up in 2 rooms so most people never really deal with them. They can stand on their hind legs and run fast enough to catch up with your character and knock them down. For whatever reason they're much more docile in 2 and 3.
>>736343564plz don't kill the spiders we just want to be left alone
>>736343684RE1: The L PassageRE2: The Sewage Disposal hallwayI think those are the two spots he was talking about. They're the only ones I can think of that fit his criteria.>>736344025Lmao
Still not on Xbox
>>736344025I'm gonna try this, but I just know I will fuck up and get poisoned.
>>736341237Among the best games ever created. 2 is one of the best sequels ever.
>>736344025That spider animation is honestly very impressive
Re1 was the spoopiest. Took me a while to finish cus I was scared. Re2 was much cooler and easier to play and Re3 was a borderline arcade action game. They are all good but Re2 is my favorite. I don't like stalker type enemies and that's why I am not a fan of new RE games. They lean heavily on stalkers.
>>736342596probably will take a year or two, but capcom will add that and some steam profile shit like wallpapers or avatars so you can larp even hardertrust the plan.
>>736347063>Re1 was the spoopiest. Took me a while to finish cus I was scared.Have you tried Remake 1 yet? It's like RE1, but spookier.
>>736347441Yeah I did on release day. The graphics blew everyone away. Just wish it kept the colors.
>>736341237Played through them for the first time back in december to prep for RE9, started with OG1 but played the remake while waiting for a buddy to catch up so we could go through RE5.OG1 is better than the HD remake by a landslide, the goofy performances and tone is like half the appeal of the first game and they're just removed in the remake, leaving it hollow.I got pissed off trying to beat Nemesis on Hard Mode in every encounter for the guns so I opted to play the remake instead to keep up on pace with my buddies going through just the remakes. Wild how different they both are but I liked the remake even less than the original. I will be revisitting it now that I'm rounding out all the achievements in 9, I'll either continue on hard and just ignore nemesis any chance I get or blast through it on easy.RE0 can suck a fat dick. Fuck that grapple hook.I liked them a lot and I think it's a travesty that people skip them in favour of the remakes. Honestly RE4 can be kinda skipped if you play the remake though. Still a fun game but the only gameplay aspects absent in the remake are still present in RE5 and the only things left can be summed up as 'hype moments and aura'.
>>736342596>emulateUse the gog version
>>736341237Playing RE3 cause the remake is pure dogshit and trying the original just makes the Demake look even worse, i just got to the cable cart where you meet the other UBCS members and it holds up surprisingly well, Nemesis closing an entire room's gap in a second is kinda unnerving even to this day
>>736341774>I was curious how young people who never played them before think about them.They aren't buying these shitty ports
>>736341237All great games. 1 is quite dated but it is a very early Playstation 1 game after all and I like the campy-ness of it. Nemesis is my favorite because I feel like it's the only game in the franchise that actually pushes players to their limits.
>>736347193>but capcom will add that and some steam profile shit like wallpapers or avatars so you can larp even harderCapcom didn't develop these and don't care about them. They just let GOG patch them because it costs them nothing but still makes them money.That's also why RE1-3 have no achievements on PS5 or Steam, because that would actually cost Capcom money. They'd need to actually have someone approve the achievements and any associated art for them. >>736342596Forgetting a couple other things, like the fact that basically none of steam's features work with these at all, and that none of the games function on steam deck. It's a completely worthless release unless you're an absolute retard who doesn't know how to emulate or how to pirate.
I feel like I prefer RE1 over REmake because of no Crimson Heads
>>736341237I started my playthrough of RE1 a bit before they showed up on Steam (not that I'd buy it from there with the DRM), but I'll chip in anyway.It's fun. Voice work is funny, but memorable, mansion feels nicely designed and thought out. Some items I can't figure out the purpose of like the broken shotgun (I assume it bypasses the Jill sandwich scene if you swap it in for the actual shotgun?). Tank controls + fixed camera is fine, anyone complaining about them is probably a dumbass since the game is designed to accommodate it, though then again I did play DMC1 not long ago either so I've had time to familiarise myself. I did hear about branching paths which has me a bit worried over missing out on shit/getting bad outcomes, but I'm just going to push through anyway.Last I recall I was in the underground lab with the respawning zombies.
Zoomer hereI've played 1-5 including 0, REmake and CVI love all the tank control ones, CV is one of my fav games ever. I think 0 is the weakest one but ngl maybe I was just filtered by the inventory systemI like 4 and 5 the least, they don't really tick the cozy puzzleboxy feeling of the others. Haven't played 6 yet but plan to because I like the camp of 5 a lot. 4 is super hurt by the weak villain imoI also played Silent Hill 1-3 at around the same time and I liked them way lessHope you got what you wanted OP
>>736348764>(I assume it bypasses the Jill sandwich scene if you swap it in for the actual shotgun?)Yes.
>>736341237Zoomers will have watched playthroughs of these games so noone will ever be truly playing the blind experience that we had.
>>736348764>I did hear about branching paths which has me a bit worried over missing out on shit/getting bad outcomesI'll post it here if you want to read it later.
>>736343336>They're a cool blend of horror + point and click adventue gamesNigga you summed up the classic perfectly. This is why they've sucked balls ever since RE4 changed genre. I still liked 4 though, but they've never been the same as the point and click classics.
>>736349251Good to know, guess it's a little trick for people replaying it>>736349431Cool, I'll have a look at it when I get to whatever ending I get with RE1, don't want to feel like I'm just filling out a checklist.
>>736342135keksaved
>>736349590>Good to know, guess it's a little trick for people replaying itchris doesnt have barry saving him
>>736341237Not buying the steam versions but I emulated 2 and 3 recently (already played remake 1 but will be playing the og soon)>2Really like the A and B scenario gimmick. Looks awesome and has some of the best music/atmosphere in the series. Way too easy tho because of all the ammo>3My favourite classic game. Playing this and experiencing all the cool shit it did made me even more butthurt about how shit 3make is. If the dodge worked better it would be a 10/10 game.
>>736341237I'm playing the first one (the Deadly Silence port) and it's fun, but there is no excuse for keys taking an entire inventory slot. All it does it increases pointless backtracking.>t. zoomer who has never touched the serious before
>>736350476*series
>>736350476>All it does it increases pointless backtracking.Complaining about filling up your inventory in DS is a sign of being really shit at the game.Do you pick up every herb you see or something?
>>736350653why would I not pick up every healing item? that's stupid.
>>736341237I watched a vtuber play RE2 on Twitch and she started literally cry when she met the 2 spiders in the tunnel under the basement. I guess the games still do their job.
It's a horror game. There's nothing scary about the old games thanks to the dates graphics. No real atmosphere anymore.T. 36 boomer who never played them as a kid and only played 4 onwards and the REmakes.
>>736341237Played them in order of 2>1>3. 2 is just plain fun pretty much all the time. Maybe a bit too much on the easy side but very replayable. 1 had a fantastic opening, probably my favourite start to a classic RE. Once you get to about the garden section, I think it starts to fall off. I think 3 is cool, I love the idea of Nemesis. But I think the game leans too much into action over survival horror and suffers for it. I'd take SH1 over any PS1 RE
>>736351192I'm a zoomie i literally just ran past the spiders. Come to think of it I never really thought any the spiders besides the big one in the catacomb section in re1. Literally a gay enemy. I guess you have to be a big arachnophobia to find it scary.
>>736351563*fought any of the spiders Jesus christ, I swear I'm not an ESL
>>736351563There are two of them in the mansion where the dogs broke in and another two in the guard house.
1: i prefer the hd version2: i don’t think it should directly be compared to the remake because they’re way too different, but i liked it more than 1 classic3: this one i can compare it because it’s way better than the fucking shit remake
>>736341237Out of the original 3 I found 1, Resident Evil 1996 one of the best games of the franchiseBut 2 and 3 felt like a clunky boring slogYes 2 and 3 have better gameplay but its like they are trying too much for their timeI also hate FF6 but love 3-4-5.I hate when games try doing too much for what they can handle.
>>736341237>1didn't play it. only the hd remaster and I liked it. managing your inventory was painful though>2 it had such a charming soundtrack and atmosphere. one of the best games I've ever played for sure but it was braindead easy>3 it was re2 with steroids this game is actually so hard if you don't know how enemies AI works or if you don't know what items you are missing in the first half of the game. re2 had better atmosphere but I prefer re3 way more only because of how challenging it was
