the remake was remastered on PS3 and later consoles but we are on /vr/ so we are talking about the gamecube version.
>>
>>12181402
didnt play the remake of 3 but during my playthrough of RE2remake i found ammo more scarce and the puzzles much better than in the OG,for example in the OG you just had to use the chess plug in front of the panel but in the remake it was an actual puzzle.

despite its flaws i thought REmake 2 was the superior game overall and i say that as someone who really liked the original but i played both as an adult so no nostalgia.

A friend of mine got a mod chipped Playstation in about '99. Nobody really cared that much because the PSX was pretty much finished in our eyes and everyone already had the games they wanted; I think we pirated some random stuff that hadn't been quite good enough for anyone to have bought, like Resident Evil 3, but nobody ever finished anything pirated. We had a Dreamcast that someone bought Soul Calibur for right after launch and no other game on Dreamcast was worth playing so no one ever pirated for it. That friend group died off before mod chipped PS2s would have been a thing.

I saw a TG16 version of the original Megaman at a vendor's table recently at a comic convention this past summer. I don't remember if it was a HuCard or Super CD-ROM game because it was expensive as the vendor was asking $50USD for it (I think it was still new/sealed though).

>>12179849
Probably not, I just got the game because I was so hyped by the news articles about the game. No one in my area liked Sega games, so I had to import it when it was new. In those days it was all SNES games. See for yourself, these were the articles that convinced me and with the drought of available Genesis games, $70 for almost any quality title on the console was a worthy purchase at the time. The screenshots would have convinced you too, I'm sure.

>God Hand on normal is kind of a choose your own difficulty thing though.
I respect the idea, but I hate the execution of this. You go from Lv. 1 to Lv. 2 way too fast, going from Lv. 2 to Lv. 3 takes a while, and going from Lv. 3 to Lv. Die goes by way too fast, too. The jump in difficulty from Lv. 3 to Lv. Die is way too big I think. In fact, I think they should have let Lv. Die be a Hard mode exclusive since there's no noticeable difference between Normal Lv. Die and Hard Lv. Die.

Everything on Hard difficulty has a flat 20% HP increase actually, which is huge. I mostly meant how much you can trivialize the game by just abusing YMK and Chain Yanker though. Drunken twist too.
>>
>>12188137
>a flat 20% HP increase actually, which is huge
Huge for multi-boss fights and forced crowd fights maybe. Against singled-out enemies, it all feels the same.
I still never figured out how to abuse Chain Yanker. I've only accidentally used it without wasting an orb once.
