kinda disappointed with this video, very nitpicked and filled with tons of hate imo… I really liked your other videos better, seemed your opinions were more balanced
re3 was the best out of all three re games. it opened up the map, instead of playing on a mansion or the most fraustrating police station for the majority of the time, it tried to show the city and how they are. and there was a clear purpose from the start, escape which most of the people would try to do the same.
Dodging mechanics can be quite tricky, but against nemesis the dodge mechanics work pretty well, especially in the early game. First encounter at RPD is quite easy with the dodge mechanism. Dodging zombies and other creatures is hard for sure.
Yeah I agree with you on this, NOT as a fan of RE3 OG, I played that again the moment this was announced (had a thing with PLAYING the original BEFORE the remakes came out.....starting from RE2 R LOL) but as a fan of RE2 Remake! And yeah this felt LAZY! And taking out the RANDOMIZER and alternative paths was a BAD MOVE, like they forgot RE3 OG was a short enough GAME already, so those were added to increase replayablity and "surprise factor!" The game was like a Short Expansion Side Game. And while I had fun, I felt the SAME thing I had a DISLIKE for RE3 OG about. It felt ACTION and I wasn't happy about that! What I LIKED about RE4 and RE4R was I STILL felt like I was playing a RESIDENT EVIL game, just slightly with some Action, but I still FELT the horror and Survival Horror part I liked! Yeah I could DO without the Rubberband difficulty that is the REASON I'm starving for AMMO, cause they make it HARDER to make me LOSE more ammo! At least with Remake, Crafting SOFTEN the Ammo Checks if I'm SMART about WHEN to craft and of course the fact I have evasion and defense option thanks to the Knife and NOT restrained to the "TANK" function of OG RE4. It's not that BAD! Only time I FEEL the "ACTION" works WITH the Survival Horror elements in the series to be honest (yet you'll STILL see me play OG RE4 because I don't get idiots who WHINE about Remakes like they act like they can't STILL access the OG! I get the WHINING about Remakes, it's the whining like they will NEVER have access to the OG games again I don't get, and this is FACTORING the FEAR that Remake assures the OG might DISAPPEAR into the Ether! In which I say ARCHIVE the game data and such if you will so you rarely have to worry about that, emulation, whatever one can do!) But I guess that's because of how disappointing RE3R was for me! If I rate it by 10, I'd give it a 4-5 out of 10. I'm not happy that what I thought would be a LONG experience was shorten BADLY like it did, there were still parts I liked, and hey it has an ARRANGED mode so that's nice! But I frankly PISSED that it felt like they went BACKWARDS from RE2 R and instead of MAKING IT ABIT LONGER to compensate removing the RNG and Other Routes. They TOOK too much out (was it REALLY hard to keep the Clock Tower at least?!) I do come back and play this from time to time. But the times I replay it compared to RE2 R is VERY low! Funny as it was kind of the OPPOSITE with OG RE2 and OG RE 3. For it's FLAWS, I had fun 100% RE3 OG (seeing EVERY Event, even the STUPID events I would only do ONCE like NOT exploding Nemesis in the Diner and instead jumping into that room that only results in you HAVING TO FACE HIM ANY FUCKING WAY! And going down the HOLE in the Parking Lot which is just a LONGER detour NOT worth actually doing really!) I'm not mad Gravedigger isn't in the Remake. He was always a big WTF anyway that I'm surprise the RE2 cast weren't feeling earthquakes either, it was also a BIG LIPPED ALIGATOR MOMENT WORSE THEN THE GATOR IN RE2 OG AND R LOL. And frankly he was an extension I'm HAPPY not to see, wish they got CREATIVE with Nemesis using different WEAPONS in his boss fights instead of just TURNING him into a BEAST going forward! That I wasn't happy with! What was wrong with his suit going to pieces means. Will say I loved how they linked Luis to Nemesis and kept that addition to his added lore in RE4 R. He had TOO much mystery on his background for my liking in the original and truth be told, I LOVED RE4 R Luis over OG RE4 who I STILL love, but I connect more with Remake Luis! Honestly I love the Remake versions of ALL the RE 4 cast. Leon did feel DRY abit other then his jokes in RE4 OG, and I liked how RE 2 R has long reaching effects on him1 Too bad it feels they SKIPPED Code Veronica, would have been nice if they did the same to Claire as in LOWER the Matrix shit they had her doing in that game, it was only a short while since RE2 to the opening cutscene of Code Veronica for Claire to be "Secret Agent Man" when she was a College Student who had SOME gun training and MUCH experience thanks to the events of RE2 for her to be ACTION HEROINE like she was doing! What makes me SALTY is because Resistance was FORCED on you just made me thing Crapcom fucking PLAYED me, which is WHY I'll never day 1 buy AGAIN with them and just buy AFTER release their stuff! It felt like Resistance was the MAIN game and RE3R was just a carrot to attract you to the STICK that is Resistance! I felt like I was ripped off because I never PLANNED on buying Resistance, hell when the game tried to put it in, I fucking deleted it because I was only interested in RE3R! I DO hold a grudge when I'm PLAYED like this! As they say "Fool me Once, you won't get a SECOND chance to do so and shame on your! Somehow get me to forgive you then trick me AGAIN, VERY much shame on me, but I'm not mad, I'm just DISAPPOINTED that I assumed you had the ability to BE BETTER, stupid me I guess, you won't GET a THIRD or ANY extra chances to trick me EVER AGAIN!" that doesn't mean I'll stop buying what's good! That means no matter if it's something I would give a 10 out of 10 (rare of me to EVER perfect score ANYTHING, even what I like! 9 out of 10 or 4 out of 5 is the closets I'll give ANYTHING, might as well be my perfect score) I'll wait till it goes on a SUPER SALE and buy it! I don't care how long it takes! Hell if gamestop sells it SUPER CHEAP "USED" I'll buy it because I'll know THE COMPANY THAT FUCKED WITH ME is going to get PENNIES from that (being used they get even LESS) as I'm not going to fight the Corps or make some HUGE change in the Industry, I'll just "go elsewhere!" that's how it is, if a customer doesn't like or trust you, they are free to take business ELSEWHERE or PRICE GOUGE the fuck out of you! I only give respect and support BACK that I am given in RETURN! Simple as that!
Me taking the piss out of "Greatest Remake" is that I saw ALOT of people pretty much confirm that they largely think so BECAUSE it just UPDATED the bells and Whistles along with making it look MORE pretty! I did see some criticism of DARING to update the script and making it LESS silly despite the fact them SAYING in the same breath that "they were trying to be serious and ended up being too comical instead!" I don't know, I think the only genuine HATERS of RER were just those who hate REMAKES in general! I don't LOATHE them by default, the ones I hate are LAZY cash grabs. But I do have my grips with RER such as it felt EXTENTED abit compared to the Original, I'm more referring to dealing with Lisa around when you go into the Caves! But that's a MINOR grip since I always get this version EVERY time it gets a rerelease (Have it on my PC, My Switch and pretty much my PS3 I keep around to play old PS1 and PS2 games since I can't play my PS3 games sans RER due to disc drive breaking LONG AGO, my PS4 well PS5 due to my PS4 dying on me two years ago! So got the PS5 to save TIME for IF it starts getting games I LIKE that are exclusive to it! So far the only EXCLUSIVE is Armored Core 6, FF16, FF7 Rebirth, and the RE4 & Dead Space Remakes! Ironic that both remakes came out around the same time frame as there ORIGINALS did and just like the OG I bought BOTH of them! They were my FIRST Horror games, As I was a baby who was scared of Horror till I hit my 20's when they came out and TOOK THE PLUNGE AKA they were on sale USED at gamestop, so I figured, if they sucked or I couldn't overcome my FEAR, I'll just return them.....I never return them should tell you they SUCCEED! I then just went about buying all OLD Horror like the RE OG Trilogy, new GOOD Survival Horror, I don't like the horror where I'm MAJORLY playing Hide and Seek with NO ability to even DEFEND myself! Though I do like to WATCH them! And I got into HORROR FILMS because of this! But Tangent aside! Other then THOSE, Everything else is just a PS4 game getting a PS4.5 treatment and Cyberpunk AFTER patching is just "A lucky accident") as even when GRIPS, I still LOVE this game. But then I love it like I love RE2 Remake! Despite their problems, they are GAMES, I HAD LOTS OF FUN and they STILL hold up to my standards of FUN years later! So I'm happy to come back to them, especially in droughts of games only holding my attention for 6 seconds! (This year alone other then remakes the only NEW games I think I got was Unicorn Overlord....I like the game as I like that genre and I love Ogre Battle which it's a spitual successor to plus Vanillaware is LOVE for me! But it's sad it's so DRY in new games catching my interest this year! Even later on I'm only looking at the new Mario and Luigi RPG! DQ3 is a REMAKE to my FIRST RPG so that's a definite, but still "A REMAKE!" so not anything NEW! hopefully something will come up) And yeah I hate when GOOD shit bombs! When that happens, it just gets used as FUEL by the "SUITS" to screw over the customers and just invites MESSES! I ESPECIALLY LOATHE when they pull the "Lack of sales means no one wanted it" (Funny how despite being a FAILURE like the Mega Man Legend games, it sure gets ALOT of remasters for the newest consoles! This always happens with ALOT of LEGENDS that failed on the BIG SCREEN but made GANGBUSTERS OFF of it! I hate that it feels like I HAVE to buy the game at the LARGE price tag on WEEK 1 DAY 1 just to "SHOW SUPPORT" and not LATER when I can afford it cause the suits are more concern with First week impressions then STAYING power!) I also get being on the gamecube MIGHT have hurt it because I'll admit DESPITE having the gamecube. Putting it and RE4 on that instead of on the system It's largely BEEN ON (Sony) kind of was a BAD MOVE because the fans were ON the Sony console and not many were on the Nintendo Console who were likely HAPPY to get a RE game for their console, but it was just bad luck not that many were ON it! And me I got on it back on the WII remaster! as Gamecube was back in my "I hate HORROR" days, so I saw it, found it interesting, but any demos I shy away from at the gamestops because "scary game!" Also I don't CARE much for "playing how it was originally MADE" (I really LOVE mixing Classic and Modern Controls! There are points where CLASSIC Tan is the BEST! Hell I never HATED the Tank Controls, I never hated Third Person starting from RE4, Hell I love it ALOT more then FIRST PERSON Starting from RE7, PLEASE let 9 not copy RE7-8 with First Person! Or at least make a TRUE mix of BOTH choices! But what I LOVE about Tank Controls is well, I still feel like I'm playing a CLASSIC survival Horror. Instead of the ACTION it seems to be VEERING to, not that THIRD PERSON completely MADE IT 100% Action as RE2 RE SHOWS you CAN keep the CLASSIC feel of "limited ammo and encouraging you to AVOID combat more!" Something RE3 RE just like OG RE3 seem to VEER away from (RE3 OG only gets LESS flak because you still ARE kind of VEERED to playing it like the OLD RE sans forcing Nemesis on you....ALOT along with AMMO check areas where if you DIDN'T save or get the right ammo, well HAVE FUN DYING! At least RE1 was LESS Ammo Check and RE2 was SPARSE with the Ammo Check areas and RE2 R was KIND to you if you REALLY NEED ammo the moment a boss fight happens!) Also Tank is YOUR FRIEND when you have to do "the walk of if you run, SHOOT or take a HIT, have fun BLOWING UP" as you can CONTROL the Run and move better walking SLOW! REALLY should have made NO respawning enemies the moment that FUCKING Explosive got put on you so ONLY the enemies you FORGOT to kill on the way were left, and seriously why CAN'T you use a gun? Taking a Hit or Running makes sense, but a GUN shouldn't make you MOVE that much unless it's the Launcher or Shotgun!
Also to add, I have to presume the Queen was talking during the flashback of Marcus death. Meaning she HAD to have NAME DROPPED Birkin and Wesker. I'm sure they knew that which is why you don't see Rebecca being "wait Captain Wesker?" at any point as that would RUIN the "Surprise" if Rebecca freaking TELLS Chris "Hey I was in another Umbrella Facility PREVIOUSLY and found out Captain Wesker worked for Umbrella" to Chris But then I REALLY feel that MAYBE the game should have been a BILLY affair with Rebecca as a SIDE character (you know Capcom's favorite "have your play the main character then have you play the side character for a small bit" like in the Onimusha Trilogy, RE OG Trilogy, and Dino Crisis 2 & 3) then at least you can PREVENT Rebecca from going into areas or encountering things she SHOULDN'T have Billy got lucky by the fact the Government had BIGGER things to worry about! RE2 Remake CANONIZE RE0 with a Report on Rebecca Desk in the STARS Office reporting Billy as Deceased, also as a Reminder, Raccoon City is DOOMED to get NUKED so it's EASY to go off the grid for Billy! He slipped through the cracks. BUT you do have a point as this is STILL on the mountains far from civilization in a Forest FILLED with Cerberus Zombie Dogs (the VERY reason Alpha didn't just "go out the front door" still have dumbasses who think they could have gone out the front and all would be okay, forgetting they don't know HOW MAN Cerberus are outside, it's FUCKING DARK, and they had to take a HELICOPTER from Raccoon City to GET THERE and "who knows what else is out there beyond the Cerberus! Only way their leaving is via as they got lucky! Brad not being a COMPLETE coward and flying around till they could catch his attention! Hence why the game took place within a couple of hours as that was as long as Brad had enough FUEL to even FLYBY long enough to pick them up AND flyback! Last I remember, the usual procedures if I remember when it comes to Helicopters (could be wrong, FREE to correct me) is to ONLY give enough Fuel under the PRESUMPTION of time to the location and time BACK, and Brad never LANDED again till the Rooftop! So he's been BURNING ALOT of Fuel, unless he found a Safe spot nearby to use backup reserves before trying again. Hell he might have LANDED on the roof previously to refuel before flying by again) and no follow up on him at ALL of course would make people think the WORSE! The fact the crime he was framed for had NOTHING to do with Umbrella and I know there were some who HOPED RE5 might have referenced Billy since you know "Africa" only they didn't. Means Billy was just made SPECIFICALLY to give Rebecca a MAN for her journey because I think this was around when people still held the "Woman can't be the major leads of their own game without no man, plus boys still though girls had cooties and wouldn't play a game with one as the main star without a male alternative" BS (Even back then, I ALWAYS loved choosing GIRL characters mostly because I was BORED playing a GUY all the fucking time! Hell even with JILL'S story, she's always getting BAILED by Barry, A MAN and we know it's cause his GUILT has him keeping an eye on her when she WOULD HAVE DIED! Hence why Wesker looks down on her. He knows she'd be DEAD if Barry wasn't having SECOND THOUGHTS! And it's why I like Chris run better and feel it's the TRUE Classic RE experience LOL! Lots of backtracking and near ZERO safety nets! Also no BAZOOKA/Grenade Launcher) feels so WASTED (I mean as a I said, Rebecca fighting a Tyrant LOOKED badass, but remembering how she was in RE1, it just raises questions and would have been better if that was BILLY! RE0 narrative is ruined by the fact RE1 existed BEFORE it and the character it displays is someone who CANNOT act too far from how she was in RE1 where she was played HEAVILY straight as a Rookie first time on the job! Or maybe it would have been better if we saw MORE of Bravo team then them being an AFTERTHOUGHT EDIT: Yeah I agree, IGN and all other "SELLOUT" Reviews of the past have ruined the spirit of "Number Scores" for people. Happy I got out of that habit back in the PS3 era of gaming after I played a few "5-7 out of 10's" (or 1-2 out of 5 from XPLAY remember that show LOL!) though that was thanks to borrowing and RENTING those games (or getting them used for cheap from Gamestop where if you return them within 7 days, you can get your money back complete!) and suffice to say! Out of every 10 of those, about 6-8 turn out to actually be MISSCORED! Hell I had games that felt like TOP scoring games, only to see them score LOW (and finding out later on that there WAS bias against THOSE games on purpose, which completely made me lose faith in reviewers sans the RU-vid reviewers that started showing up! At least a GOOD many of them are UP FRONT with their bias and don't go out of their way to review in bad faith, though sadly THAT has started to go to the way side largely cause some are going for CLOUT and if they hear a game is "HATED" by a low loud minority, they'll assume it's bad and join the hate train....giving MORE justification for the Haters to hate on ANY fans of that specific game! Sad the Hatedom has become so "Popular" as of late. "It's now COOL to hate on things for the sake of HATE" and I can't WAIT to have FUN conversations with FORMER HATERS when the tide turns and it's no longer "Hip" to be an OPENER hater! Egbert REALLY left a bad legacy behind where it seems the best way to be popular is to be a DICK! I can get being sarcastic when need be on JUSTIFABLE bad stuff, but going out of your way to be a SUPER DICK is just not cool unless it's REALLY unsalvagable stuff that deserves the contempt, but even then, knowing when not to beat the Dead Horse and understand IT'S ALREADY DEAD is important! It's likely WHY hatedom's never last too long and eventually the ATTEMPT to label something as ETERNALLY BAD results in "Second Look" that usually DESTROY what the Hatedom accomplished, like in a "It's not the GREATEST, but it's not the SPAWN OF HITLER AND SATAN it was made out to be" or "Wow, people back then sure were Sheepish followers that likely NEVER played it or they did, but let a FUCKING FORUM tell them what they can and cannot like so went in KNOWING they were going to hate it no matter what" such as video's like this one for RE0 where yeah it wasn't very good as they say! The latter is funny since those same folk are quick to say "Yeah I liked it" the moment the Hatedom's attempt FAILS and it is HUGELY liked! I've found myself replaying 8 and 9 out of 10's only to find they weren't as GREAT as I remembered, likely because I got INFLUENCED back then, my tastes have changed or I experienced an ACTUALY better version of that game and it revealed ALOT of the Flaws of the other game! Just look at "ContraWolf" review of Crysis 1 where he points out ALOT of the "what made it GOOD" was overexaggerated or just people having NOSTALGIA GLASSES and it isn't the classic "It's bad cause I say so" but SHOWING the facts which I EXPECT from Reviews and stuff going forward, if you say "This 15 minutes is just FULL of Plot Holes" then point out 5-10 of them or "you're just saying plot holes cause "it's a Bad Word, so people aren't going to follow up, and have nothing to say when "they follow you up on that" Some people are Lazy and WANT to feel like Egbert WITHOUT putting in the work! It's just pathetic)
Yeah too bad Billy doesn't get mentioned again. Even Carlos got mentioned in an Umbrella document in Resident Evil 5, saying that he was found and liquidated.
I was in High School in the year 2001, when I played this for the first time. My best friend owned Dino Crisis, which came with the demo of this game. Something about this game, and the Nemesis Tyrant filled my with more dread than I had ever felt up to that point in my life. He terrifies me even to this day. God, that remake was shit. Oh, and learn how to pronounce the word "epitome".
Dude Alfred is king gorge from Hamilton- ik the king is a historical character but the way they did him in Hamilton and how they did Alfred here.. it’s the same guy.
While I don't really disagree with any of your points about this game I think the overall take is a little harsh. I played this recently blind for the first time and had fun; it's flawed for sure, a weak classic era RE game and definitely a frustrating experience at times, but I think there's enough classic RE gameplay here to enjoy if you're a fan of the formula. Standouts were the train sequence, the character swapping mechanic, the puzzles (especially ones that utilised the character swaps) and the resource economy. Might be just luck but this is the only RE game I've played that had me at the perfect level of almost out of resources/ammo but never completely screwed basically the whole game. And as for the story and performances yeah it's terrible but is it really any worse than REmake or any other classic RE title for that matter? It's unobtrusive which is all I really ask of these games.
As someone who has played it in arcades (there was 1 in my city that had it. And yes, it was a free game, as the arcade was a bar where everything is free to play) it sucks, but if you had like 30 minutes to blew, you could end a run easily. However, the controls where damn uncomfortable. Using the whole gun as the movement stick is the stupidest decision ive seen in an arcade cabinet. As moving ruins your aim, and it hurts due to moving the character with your chest. People complain about tank controls, but they haven't seen tank controls that you move with a joystick that is essentially an airsoft submachinegun stuck in the control stick of an old car, that you move with arms and chest, and changes lubrication between directions, so that moving forward is heavy, right was okay, it physically hurt turning left, and goint back nearly makes you fall.
Only in the sense that there exists some unseen 3rd story that somehow meshes the two scenarios together and changes a lot from what we see. Which in turn makes what we see in the individual scenarios non-canon.
Your reviews are my favorite vids to watch! In my opinion this game needs to reboot the most because story just absolutely is ridiculously all over the place. It's so undercooked that I think they need to start over on it just to make it blend with everything else.
12:23 Brad Zombie is tougher in Scenario A over Scenario B where he has normal health. That is what you're expericing. Claire's pistol actually does slightly more damage than Leon's.
The Eliminators vs. Hunters-comparison is extra funny because both enemy types are putrid garbage in 0! God forbid you get to hitstun either type without them tanking shots and keeping your character animation-locked.
Dude I happened across your videos like 2 weeks ago and have listened to your resident evil series so far like 4 times. Great videos and your jokes are on point!
Frankly speaking, they REALLY should have given both character's JILL'S inventory Space instead of Chris's! People whine about his 6 spaces, but MAN did they fuck up here by making some items take more space! I'd be okay with WEAPONS like the Grenade Launcher and Shotgun taking two spaces, but shit like the Hookshot! Honestly alot of those items should have been DONE the moment the Transection ended instead of making them reusable for the Training Ground Section which should have had it's own unique items for it's puzzles And yeah feels like what happened with RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake where they took out the Defense Item system for some "Press X not to take HUGE damage" instead of KEEPING the Defense System (At least RE4 Remake went BOTH routes by giving you a choice between button mashing to LOWER the damage or use the knife to break free right there and then for the cost of durability) so the damage system for RE0 seemed great on paper because it means the two have to rely on each other, but in practise, ESPECIALLY when separated and DEAR GOD using Rebecca alone! They really should have kept the Defense Item system of RE1 Remake with how fast SHE dies (or better yet NOT make her like tissue just to play up RE1 system of Chris having higher HP but a harder run, while Jill has lower HP but an easier one! That obviously worked BECAUSE you had OPTIONS to save yourself if attacked in the right position and having the VERY Inexpensive Defense Items on you to avoid damage) Honestly would have been better to have BOTH character's mix herbs like NORMAL (Billy HAD to have had experience in that field being a Marine for survival cases) and Rebecca unique function is she can CARRY extra Herbs and apply them to Billy if nearby (Sort of like Cindy from the Outbreak Series) or at least make HER mixtures alot stronger then Billy's (though let's be real, people would be LUGGING her ass around to make the LIMITED healing items alot more MEANINGFUL then risk Billy wasting them mixing!) Yeah so much story and character potential lost because this was a Prequel that had TOO MUCH shoved into it a large amount being FANSERVICE that felt WAY out of place (All the RE2 Member Berries being the worst) makes me feel that for one BILLY should have been used for a DIFFERENT Resident Evil Entry, the game should have been COMPLETELY about Rebecca or even better Rebecca AND Richard along with Bravo (since the idea was we didn't get much on them due to DYING and Richard and Enrico not being on screen for more then a second just to DIE in RE1) and since they die anyway, would have been interesting seeing them find stuff Chris, Jill, Barry and even Rebecca find out LATER ON in the Series, but the early knowledge is lost due to DYING before they can really pass it on! I mean need I bringing up how Forest, the team SNIPER got peck to death by Crows and looked like he tried to take them on with a Grenade Launcher (my mistake BAZOOKA!) or Kenneth (The only Black Guy on the team who was the first corpse you came across in RE1 and your FIRST TIME seeing a Zombie in the series MUNCHING on him! Remake REALLY made his death pathetic by the fact you find his body cam recording on his body to view it) died a pretty pathetic death not able to hit a SLOW MOVING ZOMBIE AT CLOSE RANGE! And Marcus, oh dear lord Marcus, they likely had fun making him a Final Fantasy Villain and all his backstory that they likely FORGOT WHY HE'S PLAGUING Rebecca and Billy! Hell he should be HELPING THEM AND BRAVO as if they escape with TONS of events, Spencer is pretty much TOAST, but no, instead he's attacking them for DARING to be in the Training Facility, LARGELY BECAUSE OF HIMSELF by the way. And to make it MORE stupid he had no reason to CONFRONT them in the end! Feels like they counted on us ASSUMING that it was the Leech Hive Mind ACTING in revenge for Marcus and not the man himself which is why dumb decisions were made (my Theory on ALOT of OG RE4 Saddler's Stupid Villain Decisions for all his LOVE of mocking Leon for being a Cliche of the American Hero, he presents and ACTS like the typical American Action Movie Villain making ALOT of stupid decisions despite not being STUPID since he admits he made the Cult up simply for his Weapon Smuggling business! I just started believing the Plagas in him devoured his will and was ACTING in what it BELIEVED the REAL Saddler would act, like his snark towards Leon and being so arrogant he DIDN'T remove Luis Machine for some damn reason. Honestly this is why I LIKE Remake Saddler who plays the Cult Leader angle straight, he's alot more intimidating and the story has him ALMOST WIN! Even playing around with Leon has more reason then Villain Stupidity and the moment the Plagas almost get Ashley and Leon right before the Machine works in making it MORE desperate and we know he won't die, but it gives you the feel Leon WILL die as he's hit by ALOT of his PTSD from the events of RE2 Remake calling back to everything he and WE the players experienced in that game, where RE4 OG barely calls back to RE2! And hopefully a Code Veronica Remake might do the same for Claire, I mean it takes place like a month or so after RE2 so the PTSD should still be setting in for Claire who unlike Leon IS A CIVILIAN! As much as I like the BAD ASS stuff they did for Claire in OG Code Veronica, I feel a Remake should tone down the Matrix Action pack shit the opening movie leading to how Claire was captured to make it more REAL cause I called BULLSHIT as it went against Claire's CIVILIAN identity which RE2 Remake did a good job making a strong focus! Her gun training CAN be explained with Chris giving her some training and she could do gymnastics, but it felt the writers of Code Veronica forgot Claire isn't FUCKING ADA WONG)
As a black guy you made me hella uncomfortable how you kept annunciating “black guy” like it was was a bad thing or something I liked your videos now I feel like you dont like black people or something or you feel like they don’t belong in RE games
Sorry, that wasn't the intention. Was just trying to make a joke about how he is depicted by the game, and I thought misidentifying the race of a video game character could be funny. Joke might be in bad taste, but definitely didn't mean for it to come off as me having something against anyone.
Funnily, a later game retroactively makes Steve a more tolerable character versus when retreading Code Veronica's story...whatever on Earth they were going for in Code Veronica. I get that he is supposed to be young and immature; however, he is to a very irrational degree immature.
CV is a blast only thing I didn’t really understand is if Clair could ask Leon to contact Chris this whole time why did she even bother going to Paris and get herself thrown into prison lol 😅
Seems like we had a similar experience. I beat the game for the first time, thought it was really fun, but something was itching at me the whole time. I could tell it wanted to be 4 really badly. So I beat it again, and again, and then mercenaries, and all the cracks just revealed themselves. Now I despise this game. Great review!
I played through about 8 times... I thought it was beautiful, but definitely felt they should've changed the order of bosses, Alcina should've been the 3rd in my opinion instead of the first. Big complaints are just how small the areas are (they definitely should've expanded the castle and Donna's house- which I loved, she was honestly my favorite of all four lords.) , and like you mentioned, not being able to go back into the castle was a huge bummer (however, after the 1st playthrough I didn't miss anything.) I also wish they would've incorporated more horror. I just felt anxious until I knew what was coming. Once I hit that stage, I was John Wick-ing those lycan bastards. But anxiety and fear are obviously two different things here, and it missed the fear mark for me. Another thing that drove me crazy was Heisenberg's factory. Fuck, every single time I played through I got turned around and lost. Was torture.
I remember finding out about the Survivor games way back when the internet first became popular on a RE fan site (fun fact: still have my dumbass child-made email made specifically to access said site) and I thought they sounded *SO* cool. I had no idea how I never even heard of them or Gaiden considering how much of a mega fan I was. Little did I know... 😅😂
