fair enough
i’d say 3 is way fucking better than CV, which i consider to be extremely bad!
i don’t actually know how bad it is because it was so bad that i stopped playing

yeah, my memories of it are faint, but I think CV was if anything like a failed attempt to not just make another RE2, whereas 3 was a basically well-liked attempt at the opposite

I think the main complaints with RE3 were that its shorter, and mostly inconsequential to the story. If…you…care…about…Resident Evil’s story.
I think some people also didn’t like that it spends some of the game retreading part of the police station. But…its a really nice looking upgrade to the police station, so I was cool on that.
CV in some ways feels very similar in tone to Revelations 2 for me. I think the 3d environments worked well because every area felt like you were scouring a meticulously crafted diorama. It was my first RE so it’s one of my favorite ones, but it’s possible it hasn’t aged well. I’ll have to revisit it soon.
i really like 3 but it’s definitely kind of visually and structurally incoherent compared to 2, which makes it a better candidate for a slick aaa remake than the latter, which suffered both from modernizations that threw off its design & aesthetic integrity and from not being re1make, the most perfect game that exists.

Wasn’t Mr. X only in a special post-game mode, in the original RE2? I…don’t remember him at all, except in that context. (which I might have made up?)
He was only in the b scenario. he’s a little too present in the remake. and they don’t even have the cutscene showing him get air dropped in so he just weirdly comes out of nowhere unexplained

the way they handled Mr. X in the re2 remake makes me wonder what kind of ridiculously evil shit they’re going to do with Nemesis in this one since now they have “he has a fucking rocket launcher” and “he can sprint” to work with
i liked Mr. X In the remake ok, like it was a clever swerve to just have him the whole game for people who originally played RE2, but im ambivalent about it. leon’s reaction to him showing up in the final stretch of the game is funny though

All I remember about Code Veronica is the super badass CG cinematic of Claire being an action superstar and the game had awesome Dreamcast graphics.

i’m not particularly fond of code veronica but it does have the second-best save room music in the series

code veronica is both boring and camp, a deadly combination.

Once upon a time in 7th grade, I did a report in front of the class, about videogames. It was basically “wow look at how far graphics and animation have come”. I mainly used Playstation for visual aide. And Dino Crisis is one of the games I used.
