nope, but there are some four legged critters that can scale walls in the game

Works fine for me, how are you checking? If your monitor OSD has a built in refresh rate display, that's the easiest way.
She does, but it's not in the hand and activates in only REAAAALLY dark places.
Thats a good idea, i restarted PC again and its working now. Thanks think ill keep using the OSD from now on.
Just finished it. Part of me is glad for this game, part of me is heartbroken Capcom didn't think it deserve the development time and/or resources and/or right devs to do it. The bosses fights were great and if you played the original RE3 and didn't get teary eyes during the credits you don't have a soul. Also Nicholai is top villain material. But they just didn't get the RE gameplay structure right. Raccoon City was pathetically small and linear which also massively hurted Nemesis as a stalker. Virtually no puzzles as well.
RE3 feels like a direct to video sequel.

Yeah, it sucks that both here and in RE2 you can't control that manually.
Okay, so I had my first real encounter with Nemesis and I remember hearing that if you take him down he can drop a weapon attachment. So I decided to go for it and it happened. How often should I stand my ground vs running away? Will he keep dropping upgrades until I've gotten them all or is it a random chance? And can these upgrades be found elsewhere in the world if I never get him to drop it?
All of his encounters are scripted, only some of them drop the parts, iirc the first fight doesn't net you anything. In my experience it's not random, those upgrades are exclusive, not gonna find them anywhere else.
I recommend downing him once, if he doesn't drop anything, just reload the checkpoint and don't waste resources.
I was surprised of how easy it was to take down Nemmy, even on Hardcore. Also having finished up the streets I guess, is that really it of him stalking around the area (and just being set pieces and boss fight)? :(
I was able to get a couple upgrades from taking him down, and guess that's it too?

Surprised people are finding Nemesis hard/annoying. At least on Hardcore he's just a resource management check. Nemesis shows up and asks "hey, got any grenades?", and I'm like "yeah, sure, take it", and then I collect my loot.
If anything, I'm missing a more legit fight with him so far, every time he shows up he just eats a grenade and I move on.

Alright, so since I already got the part in this encounter, now that he is back up and chasing me again I shouldn't fight him anymore?
You should take him down one more time as you're heading back to the subway, as he does drop a second upgrade then.
Can we just ditch the remakes now and get a brand new game with Jill as the protagonist again? I really like this version of her.
Oh damn, then it looks like it could be random after all.
Sawyer Just to be clear, this was in the same scripted chase? As in you downed him, ran off, and when he got back up you took him down and he dropped another upgrade? As opposed to it being a different encounter later on in the same location.
Some of the Game Over death animations are so brutal. Especially the final boss and the thing after.
I think one was on the way to the subway control building and one to the station.
I got three upgrades from him so far, but always in slightly different areas. When he just gets up and comes at you before a hard break, he never dropped anything.
In one of the chase sequences he just dropped ammo.
I just wish they quicker. Capcom is starting to annoy me with this trend of taking five billion years to get back to the game once you're locked in a death animation. It's painful in DMC5.
I'm finding it pretty challenging, but I'm not a great player. Not annoying in any way, though. I wouldn't want to lower the difficulty. It's very fun.
Can someone help with this Nemesis encounter? :
After you've been to the gun shop, Nemesis drops down and unpacks his rocket launcher. The game acts like this is a running section, where I am able to successfully dodge spam my way away from the rockets. However, when I get round the first bend, Nemesis literally power sprints right up to me, swings twice and I'm dead. I cannot turn fast enough to take him down with my grenade launcher? Am I doing something wrong?
Not really, this just may be the second scripted encounter in that area. There are a few.
You take less damage, but they will always bite you.
Don't try and take him down in my experience with this section, I ran and did the dodge when the laser goes red and was able to get round the corners with little trouble, you just need to get past the police car at the end for a cutscene to kick in
Okay, I understand now. I'll wait until the next encounter to fight, thanks.
Yeah, it's a real shame they didn't give it the proper development it deserved. It basically feels like a big budget DLC expansion for RE2.
Not hard at all IMO. REmake 2 Hardcore was harder. Nightmare though...
So far I'm really enjoying it. Similar structure to the other games in that there are still plenty of lock and key style puzzles and running back and forth across areas required. The explorable areas are smaller but it's not a linear action game like some are making it out to be. It still has the adventure game feel to me at least.
I'd love an RE Engine-powered Revelations 3 with Jill and either Claire or Leon as the playable protagonists.
Had a big session with the game today. Steam says I played for about 6 hours, in-game timer is at 4:30h. Of course, I haven't beaten it yet, but that time should give you an idea where I am.
The game's a lot of fun, especially the minute-to-minute gameplay. Sure, it could be be bigger and it shows in many areas (and no, I don't mean the game's length). But personally I don't mind that much, at least not to the degree where I would say that I'm disappointed or something. I will articulate more thoughts once I'm done, but I do agree with some of the impressions about Nemesis, the more corridor-like level design outside of 2 areas so far and the lack of proper puzzles. I wouldn't weight them as much as some of the reviewers and say that the game is a 5 or 6 because of that, though. That's way too harsh in my opinion. So far, the game is a really good 8 for me. It's just a blast to play, thanks to its gameplay mechanics. Jill and Carlos have a great chemistry and the game still has many of those tense moments, where you're not sure if something is about to happen. Those moments where you walk slowly, look around every corner etc. For the first time I was finally scared again of a certain enemy type.
One thing I was surprised to see is that Carlos doesn't have a dodge move. He has a parry instead. A parry! He punches things right in the face. It feels great.
What did surprise me the most so far is how much of a reimagination the game actually is. The RE2 remake pretty much followed the original, took some liberties here and there and changed some things up. But the RE3 remake pretty much establishes right from the beginning that this is an entirely new take in pretty much every regard on the original. I can understand why some would've liked a bit more faithful approach. In fact, I wish they would've stayed a bit more faithful in some areas (like that one ironic area they unfortunately decided to not include plus some other things), but I also like this take on the original. Granted, I don't know how the final areas will turn out, so of course I will wait with my conclusion until I beat the game. But so far I'm enjoying it, even with some of the stuff I wish they would've handled differently.
I do like some of the nods and references. The RPD part was full of it and kinda underlines that the remake of 3 is a pretty good companion piece to the Resident Evil 2 remake. Perhaps that's how Capcom thought about it internally as well, considering that it got developed alongside and just releases one year after it. Speaking of the RPD:
Looking forward to playing more of it tomorrow.
I just did the hospital part with Carlos.

I'm talking about the hunters in the hospital with Carlos. They haven't been much of a threat for me since some time now. But RE3R makes them, at least for me, a threat again. Hell, I even died to them a couple of times due to their instant death attack.
One thing I was surprised to see is that Carlos doesn't have a dodge move. He has a parry instead. A parry! He punches things right in the face. It feels great.

Having to shoot Brad this time to get his STARS card instead of Nemesis finishing him off kinda hurt. I do like that you once again get the chance of either staying outside and gettnig the card, thus having an advantage in the RPD, or running inside once T tells Carlos to get inside. At least I think you have a choice here?
Looking forward to playing more of it tomorrow.
I hope capcom isn't going to sit on these remake models (Jill, Leon , Ada, Carlos and Claire) only one that's missing is Chris who is due a proper makeover.
How does the beginning of RE2 reconcile with the beginning of RE3 in this remake? The CDC and the federal government have quarantined Raccoon City. The outbreak definitely made national news, and probably international news as well. How did Leon and Claire 1. not know about the outbreak, and 2. get into the city? Same thing for the truck driver.
Ummmm is this a fucking joke? Did this really get me to the 2nd boss fight, give me no inkling it was coming, and not even allow me to get geared up?!?!?
You should down him at least 4 times to grab some loot from him. He has some upgrades you cannot get anywhere else. If he already dropped a box, then don't waste your ammo on him. Wait until you progressed with your objectives. If he shows up again after some progression, then down him again. If you have grenades, those immediately do the trick (at least on normal).
First time you should down him is the first time he shows up after the prologue. The second time is after the cutscene plays where he does the thing to the zombie outside the diner
Oh damn i ddin't know that. I'm at Carlos mission right now, but i'll make sure to down him on my next playthtough. :)
