aside from zero, it’s the weakest entry in the series. a few hours to beat, brings nothing new. whoa, scary monster, run
k
I think this makes 10 Resident Evil threads
>>12501595kek
(You)now fuck off
read the filename tendies haha
That's not a picture of Code Veronica
>>12501595The first Resident Evil is objectively the worst entry in hindsight.
>>12501595It's ok, nothing specialIt's certainly better than RE0 at least
>>12502189Found the biggest retard on the internet
>>12501605"the r in vr stands for resident evil" -anonalso we need more "is gta good" threads
The game was not built for a knife run Japs added it on a Friday afternoon at 5pm when asked to
I find it funny people try to claim RE3 was bad, when everyone was going on about REmake2 being the best RE has ever been, while REmake2 used both the gunpowder system from RE3 and Mr. X from REmake2 was far closer to Nemesis in power and threat-levels than the original Mr. X from RE2, who was a complete push-over. Mr. X from REmake2 even follows you through doors like Nemesis did in some spots in RE3. REmake2 was effectively RE3 with RE2's story slapped over it, and Mr. X didn't get a rocket launcher to attack with.
>>12502570not retro
It's the second best RE game next to OG RE1. RE2 is fantastic but way too easy. Infact 3 might be the most replayable game in the series cause of live selection and all the randomization that occurs. Also the city is the best setting for a zombie outbreak.
>>12502570It is contrarians who don't like tank controls. They don't like 0,1, 2, 3, or CVX. They all either came from RE2R or RE7 into the series so they don't have any sort of taste for the classics and do nothing but shit on the classics.And fair enough. I fucking love the classics but the gameplay is rather difficult to get into.
>>12502664/thread
>>12501595The map is the biggest issue. The city doesn’t have half the personality of the mansion or the police station.
>>12502664Genuinely asking what makes RE2 the easiest one. And didn't it have all kinds of different difficulties and randomizers at least on some versions?I have only played 1 and 2 on ps1 and imo the best sections are always when you are in the manor/station and then it becomes mediocre when you always go down sewers and labs etc. I remember reading that he latter parts of the game were extensions because the games would have been too short if only manor/station parts were there.
>>12502684>the gameplay is rather difficult to get into.It really isn't, tank controls and fixed camera take a couple minutes to acclimate to and then they are incredibly easy to play games centered around. Zoomers mythologize these games like they are actually inaccessible
>>12502839You must only have gaming friends then. Any normie who picks up resident evil can barely figure out how to turn. They get so frustrated after a few minutes they turn it off.
>>12502664OUTBREAK MENTIO oh, nevermind
>>12501595I tend to view it as a companion/expansion for RE2 since it came out only a year later and re-used a lot of the same assets. Personally I’m not a big fan of the added crafting elements, but it’s certainly not a bad game.
>>12503252>and re-used a lot of the same assets.just a short section in the rpd, all the city streets are unique.
>>12503231>press left/right>character turns left/right>press up/down>character proceeds forward/backward irrespective of the position of the cameratank controls are unintuitive relative to standard 3d games nowadays, but you should be able to grasp the basics after a few minutes unless you're straight up mentally retarded. 2 admittedly doesn't provide a good staging ground to acclimate, but 1, 3, CV, 0, and 4 all give you relatively safe starting areas to get to grips with it
>>12503258the street textures are recycled, the zombie models are recycled, police department recycled, police car and weapon, even graffiti textures. it’s enough to create a sense of deja vu after playing 2, which makes nemesis feel like an expansion pack rather than its own full game.
>>12501595https://desuarchive.org/vr/search/text/aside%20from%20zero,%20it%E2%80%99s%20the%20weakest%20entry%20in%20the%20series
>>12502194Truth hurts, I understand your world is crumbling around you now that you realize it was the worst in the series.
>>12503327Meh. RE2/3 offered gameplay and QoL improvements, but the mansion is still a better setting.
>>12503327the first re has aged the best. 2 and now nemesis have finally been brought to reality after being hyped into infinity for decades.
>>125034092 and 3 are way better than 11 has some weird stuff to it that makes it interesting like the branching survival paths of characters, but overall 2 and 3 are much more refined games
>>125034342 and code veronica are the best. nemesis is an expansion to 2 if you like that and crave more action. the first game holds up fine amongst these because of the mansion setting and story. none of these 4 games are bad. remake and zero are bad
>>12503440Code Veronica is fucking garbage, so no.
>>12503447what makes you say? in what way is it garbage compared to the other three games? you say 2 and 3 are way better than 1, and code veronica is garbage? how much different is it to make it garbage? sensing you have a strange bias and aren’t operating with possession of facts and commandment of objectivity in your assessment
>>12503474Why do you think Code Veronica is good? Because of the tranny villain? Because of Steve? Because of the annoying backtracking? Maybe the cringy anime storyline that feels more fitting of an MGS game than a RE one. Or maybe the Tyrant fight you can softlock yourself out of super easy and just be fucked. Wow, Code Veronica has so many great qualities
>>12503515it has the best music in the series and is welcome as the lengthiest classic re game that is very satisyfing to complete. the story and puzzles are a bit more mature albeit still re nonsense, but at least it isn’t a total retread in the way nemesis is; code veronica is a true sequel to 2 and advances the re narrative much more than nemesis. you have to give it its fair due when playing, cv was trying not to completely just rehash the psone games and add some depth and length and they accomplished it while not being so different as to be unrecognizable. it’s my personal favorite re game next to 4. i love the setting. the cheese of steve or wesker doesn’t bother me at all. i expect that with re. backtracking is because they created an interconected world unlike the psone games so it’s justified, the game is massive. how can you say cv is like an mgs game but not nemesis, which is an action game much more than survival horror? you aren’t applying that critique consistently. are you just biased because you hate trannies? your criticisms are weak. and you haven’t given any reason why you think 2 and 3 are so much better.
>>12502760>Genuinely asking what makes RE2 the easiest one.On a casual playthough I don't know if it's the easiest RE game. Pitting it against it's PS1 peers, it probably is though, I'm just to biased because I know the game too deeply. The thing it only becomes the easiest because its generous in rewarding your exploration with a lot of Ammo and Weapon Upgrades. Which to me it's one of the reasons it makes it so good of a game.3 is almost the same in this regard but Nemesis applies a pressure and risk for this type of efforts, but it's well worth it. You are Arnold in Commando with a stockpile of Ammo and a Variety of weapons to deal with any situation the game throws at you.>>12502760>imo the best sections are always when you are in the manor/station and then it becomes mediocre when you always go down sewers and labs etc.I know that this is a popular sentiment, but in the case of RE2 I disagree. I always loved the Lab and find it to be the most exciting location and everything was a slow burn to it. The sewers are short, and the Marshaling Yard is genuinely great transition location.
>>125035343 is a natural escalation into action from that the balance of action and horror of 2. Code Veronica's idea of horror is a teenager with golden lugers and a BOW that can command flames because...she just can, okay??? It takes the cheesy elements the other games had and just ramps them up into full on goofy farce and it makes it hard to take anything the game does seriously at all. I dont know what people get out of larping that the game is some misunderstood masterpiece
>>12503547>3 is a natural escalation into actionit’s your opinion that this is natural. fans were not asking for it. i’m not larping, and i never said code veronica was misunderstood. this is a mischaracerization to try to minimize the praise from my earlier post. it is a longer game, that’s a fact. i personally really appreciate that, 1-3 feel too short for me. this is my opinion, it’s ot a larp. it’s as if you live a bubble where you never heard of a person liking code veronica so you are gobsmacked and dismayed and seem to be wrestling. you know what i think? i think you never even played code veronica but heard bad things about it and are just repeating what you heard. because you aren’t persuasive. it’s like you don’t really know the series. they’re all goofy and unrealistic, that is part of the charm. you apply an obvious double standard
>>12503547>BOW that can command flames becauseCV Alexia was "heavily inspired" in Parasite Eve. To not say downright stolen from lol.They should've fully embraced it instead and make a Claire/Alexia dynamic similar to Aya/Eve. Code Veronica fails spectacularly specially in this regard. And prematurely completed Claire's character arc of reuniting with Chris.
>>12503580I dont give a fuck what contrarians like you think. This website is already full of them.
>>12503589explain how liking code veronica is contrarian
>>12503592NTA, but it's not that liking makes it contrarian. It's claiming that it's a masterpiece or better than 1-3 is what makes it contrarian.
>>12503598i didn’t say it was a masterpiece or that it was better than 1-3. i think it is even with the original trilogy and have asked why do anons say cv is garbage. calling it garbage is more apparent contrarian opinion, since the game has many dedicated fans who champion it and has received some of the best reviews in the series.
>>12503598he said code veronica is garbage, and then called anon who loves it a contrarian. so it’s pretty clear he means anyone who likes code veronica is contrarian since he has estimated it to be garbage, and going against his opinion is how contrarian is defined here.
>>12503606You opened your first post with "2 and Code Veronica are the best"
>>12503616no, i picked up that general argument from anon and continued it and he is apparently still posting also or someone else making a similar point as he did and i am. i have never typed the word “amongst” before on this board. that is not my post
>>12501605I got banned for doing them last time but now mods aren't showing up for this guy? LOL
>>12503534>it has the best music in the seriesIt's good, I'll give you that.>>12503534>is welcome as the lengthiest classic re game that is very satisyfing to completeI would argue that it overstays it's welcome. It has the most annoying gimmicky type backtracking that was discarded after RE1 for good reason, and in this case it's not even interesting nor setup for a memorable moment.>>12503534>the story and puzzles are a bit more mature albeit still re nonsenseI don't mind the story or the puzzles in general, it's probably the most well developed aspect the game has in it's favor, the problem it's that doesn't amount to much and it doesn't add much value gameplay wise.>>12503534>advances the re narrative much more than nemesis.Debatable. Nemesis concludes the Raccoon City story arc, thats a high stakes climax in the overarching narrative of the franchise.CV instead became a self-contained storyline that prematurely completed Claire's character arc. It's so inconsequential that in RE4 they decided to drop the Piano over Umbrella off-screen.
one normal post after a string of shitposts and the thread dies. lmaoRE4 is Garbage. Enjoy the gold standard contrarian statement.
>>12503681Theres like 4 concurrent RE3 threads up, take your pick
>>12503647>I don't mind the story or the puzzles in general, it's probably the most well developed aspect the game has in it's favor, the problem it's that doesn't amount to much and it doesn't add much value gameplay wise.odd that you’re playing classic resident evil with this persoective when, if you take away the story and puzzles, there’s not much of a game at all.
>>12503858I'm talking specifically about Code Veronica here. not Classic at large. Each of the classics have it's strengths. What I'm saying here is that the puzzles themselves don't stick, they are not emblematic in any way, specially if you compare them to RE1 which is what it's trying it's best to emulate.If you think absent puzzles and story the classics do not offer much game at all, then I can only assume you made a single playthrough of each game and thought that that's all there is to it. When it's really not the case at all.
>>12504027I don’t think so.
>>12504027>What I'm saying here is that the puzzles themselves don't stick, they are not emblematic in any way, specially if you compare them to RE1 which is what it's trying it's best to emulate.incoherent word salad
>>12502760Normal Difficulty is the hardest mode available in the majority of versions with higher difficulties only being included in the DC port & a version of the PC ports. Sales numbers for those versions are murky, but if we're being generous only 5-10% of the original sales were a version of the game that even included a "Hard" difficulty which explains RE2's reputation for being piss easy. I've never played Nightmare mode on the DC, but my understanding is its arguably the hardest classic RE playthrough (excepting stuff like Invisible Enemy mode in REmake) since standard zombies 3-4x as much ammo to kill & Licker attacks can be 2 hit kills.
>>12505843>RE2's reputation for being piss easy.look mom i posted it again
3 > CV
>>12506314What game is CV?
>>12506074It’s been at least several months since I commented on RE2 difficulty here
>>12506843Code Veronica. The literal best entry in the series.
