you should play both at least once if you truly care about classic RE. That being said 0 is the worst classic RE game, CV is a step down from the trilogy but it has redeemable qualities.

If you like the series you should absolutely play them but 0 is genuinely really mediocre and I'd call it bad when compared to other classic RE titles. CV is serviceable, it's not that great but it's still more fun to actually play than the vast majority of survival horror games

Decent games for the genre
The first act on the train in RE0 is leagues beyond the rest of the game

>>12036646
Resident evil 0 is overhated, it has some issues but it's not that far from REHD as nintendo shill stated. Code Veronica is bad, like a game from amateurs: puzzles, balance, every mechanic is just poorly implemented and even the story is some funfic-tier bullshit

>>12036646
Skip them. The only good thing about either is the saveroom music and that amphibian boss music in Code Veronica.

>>12036646
They're not unplayably bad or anything, but they have some flaws. I'd say cv is worse than 0

>>12036646
0 is annoying as fuck but you can see the skeleton of a good game. CV is just bad.

Code Veronica is really fun but very scary, I struggled to beat it.

Haven't played RE:0, one of my gaming regrets (I could emulate it but I bricked my steam deck)

>Are these two Resident Evil games worth playing, or are they truly bad and I should skip them?

None of those have female zombies. They are not worth your time. Play instead resident evil 2 dual shock version or the original resident evil 3.

>>12036802
your posts were never funny, you can stop now.

no tank control RE should be skipped

They're both bad, but 0 also commits the unforgivable sin of being boring as fuck.

Code Veronica is without a doubt the best tank-control RE other than REmake. It's so strange and bleak. Code Veronica X is the Alien3 Assembly Cut of the RE series

I keep trying to play CV and then playing RE1 or 2 ten more times instead

>>12036646
Code Veronica is worth playing but only, ONLY, ONLY, ONLY the Dreamcast original

I really like CV, i agree with>>12037026
Play the DC original rather than X, X seems to look visually worse and had some strange changes.
Zero is novel, but most of the gimmicks feel less fun than if it were played more straight imo.
The story in both games is sillier than 1-3, but especially in Zero

>>12037063
X released on Dreamcast in Japan.

>>12036646
They're both worth at least one playthrough imo. I think they're both bottom tier but lots of people swear by CV at least so you might feel different and really gel with it.

>>12036646
>that annoying fucking projector puzzle in RE0

>>12036802
Good point, actually. We encounter female zombies so frequently in life, why not in media?

>>12037123
CV is the natural sequel to 1 and 2, that's why it's loved

So what's the best version of Code Veronica?

is 0 or code veronica the one with that beautiful pre rendered train?

>>12036646
The hookshot is annoying, as is dropping and picking things off the floor. The partner system is sort of irrelevant since you'll be using one character to clear an area then follow them with the other character (NEVER use both characters at once)
Eliminators are one of the most annoying enemies in video game history
On the other hand CV has dull looking 3D backgrounds, steve, the poison moth hallway, poison hunters, bandersnatches and their offscreen attacks, way too much backtracking, a place where you can softlock yourself if not careful (keep multiple saves) and goofy wesker

Difficult choice

>>12036646
CV is flawed enough to drop it below the ps1 games but it's still worth playing. Zero is truly bad and gives serious B-Team vibes. I don't recommend Zero unless you're a superfan and desperate.

>Code Veronica
Interestingly retarded.
>0
Flat out boring after the train.

>Are these two Resident Evil games worth playing
Yes, of course.

They are not the most popular titles within the classic RE games but they're absolutely worth playing. Just keep in mind they have some flaws that make not as enjoyable to you as RE 1-3:

Code Veronica is way too long for a classic Resident Evil title and includes a lot of backtracking (you'll feel it overstays its welcome probably by the midgame). Plus it has some sections that can trip you up during a first playthrough, namely it has some screens with unlimited enemy spawns that you might not expect and make you waste ammo, and one infamous part where you could miss picking up a grenade launcher right before triggering a point of no return and end up being forced to fight a hard boss shortly after without it (Thankfully even if you miss it you can still kill it, even with the knife if you feel like cheesing it. And afterwards you can go back and pick the GL up).
And Zero lacks item boxes (which implies extra backtracking) and has some enemies which can be very annoying to deal with if you don't have the weapons or ammo that kills them most effectively.
Also you might find both games' plot to be rather underwhelming, sans some latter pars in CV.

My advice if you decide to play them is:
1) Keep more than one save, and alternate between then when using an ink ribbon, so that if you're so unlucky you end up stuck/softlocking yourself for some reason you don't have to redo the entire run.
2) In RE0's case, if you don't mind the extra effort I personally recommend choosing a few SAFE (no enemies) screens during your playthrough and taking the time and move and left all the items you're not planning to carry at the moment on the floor, so you don't have to remember their location otherwise. It's also better because you can more easily keep track of your supplies.

Anyway, I hope this helps.
Good bye.

P.S. Also on CV take a note on which room is the grenade launcher after you see it (it's behind lasers blocking the way that you'll later turn off) so you don't forget it.

You're welcome.

I honestly don't understand why Code Veronica triggers the anons on /vr/, like it personally shat in their favorite pies. Get the fuck over it. 0, and REmake by extension, are the only shitty classic REs.

None of classic RE are bad, if you enjoyed original trilogy and REmake you obviously should play them

>>12039968
>they have some flaws that might make them not as enjoyable to you as RE 1-3
Fixed. I need a new keyboard.

>>12040135
This. It makes no sense to not give them a chance at least assuming you enjoyed the first 3.

>>12040157
Oh and excuse my English, I'm not american.

Fuck this keyboard with a rake btw.

>>12038031
0, it's at the beginning of the game and it's the only good part

>>12039849
I've beaten 0's Hard mode in under 2 hours with no saves multiple times, game is bad. pretending to like the bad one doesn't make you look like an interesting person.

>>12040212
NTA but, if you think the game is bad and didn't enjoy it, why did you spend the time to learn how to beat it in Hard mode in under 2 hours with no saves, and then kept playing it and doing it multiple times?

>>12036646
Disregard the naysayers and try them. Maybe you'll like them, maybe not, but at least you'll know.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

>>12036646
They're only good for one playthrough.

For anyone who considers RE0 and RE:CV bad games: recommend survival horrors in the vein of the classic REs that you think are BETTER.

>>12040212
Because I love classic REs and I have enough autism to play the whole franchise and get at least decent at every one of those games.

0 has Rebecca. That should be enough to give it a go.

>>12041410
Then you did enjoy it, which is great.

I think it should be clarified that "being worse than other classic Resident Evils" doesn't necessarily equal "bad game". The classic REs are easily some of the best survival horrors ever, there's hundreds of worse games.

>>12036916
Like the comparison. Are you refering to prison themes involving torture and shit?? Antartica isn't that bleak.

>>12041438
it feels exhausting to play, even though it's about the same length as the others, it has a ton of inconsistencies and it makes no sense canonically. The fact I tolerate it because I'm autistic about the RE franchise doesn't give it a pass.

>>12036646
RE0 absolutely, its great and really the only other thing you can play if you like REmake 1. CV, no its campy in a bad way, super long in a bad way and also lacks a lot of the interconnectivity that makes exploration in this games enjoyable. Also its doesn't use CGI backgrounds so you dont get that nice classic RE look.

>>12039968
In Veronica, once you get to the secret base i remember thinking "wow this is stupid" because it just keep going and going, it makes it feel more linear than it is because it keeps switching areas.

>>12037085
I forgot about that, regardless, from what I've seen of the changes I'd say play the original on Dreamcast/Emulator over X.

>>12036646
Play em even if you think they're gonna be bad. Fuck, play Gaiden. Its gonna feel awful, but its pretty cool how they managed to do shit on the game boy color. Don't curate your experiences on the opinions of others if you're actually interested.

They were both heavily outsourced and it shows. No one with any talent or vision wanted to work on these games anymore after RE1 and 2 did everything that could be done with the formula.
