Resident Evil 3 |OT| Desperate Escape
- Thread starter Aurc
- Start date
I'm genuinely blown away that some folks think this game would have been better served as DLC for REmake 2. If the game only consisted of Jill escaping on the train in that early section, and perhaps a boss fight to cap it there, then DLC would make sense. But it has much more to it than that. Short though it may be (and even then, I feel like this has taken me just as long as my first Leon playthrough on REmake 2), there's a lot of effort put into this thing. Some cool locations too. It feels different enough from REmake 2 in tone alone to make it stand on its own alongside it. I haven't touched Resistance yet and god knows if I ever well, but I've absolutely loved REmake 3 so far.
By the way, at the end:
I like how she has the nightmare in the hospital about not being able to shoot Carlos and dying, but then she goes through with it at the end. I somehow failed that QTE the first time and Nicholai slices Carlos throat and fling it at Jill's forhead. I think I died literally every way possible lol.
Ok, so someone explain the Nemesis drops to me. You get 1 item per encounter I take it? At my first Nemesis free play segment. Downed him once got an item. Downed him a second time got nothing. So I should only try to down him once per stalking section?
No, they can and they did. But IMO critics have too much weight thrown behind 'ZOMG it's single player and didn't last 25 - 50 hours'. They need to appreciate the audience they are reviewing to and no everyone wants that
The lack of faithfulness and divergence from OG 3, I appreciate as critique. But 2 hours in this is a wonderful palate cleanser right now. I feel entirely engaged in a way many 50 hour epics haven't
I know it's short. It's fine to point that out. But to me this is a really good experience and honestly a lot of the media DID point this out. But sometimes I personally would prefer a flawed 80+ MC'er than a big bad well scored AAA title like RDR2
I found that to be boring AF to be honest but it was rare in reviews that viewpoint was reflected in the 90+ crowd
I
I got at least two drops in one encounter
Edit: that is to say, I downed him twice in the same stalking section
Anyone having controller issues with the PC version? Right trigger specifically will just stop working making it so I can't actually shoot anything. Controller will also just stop working at times too.
It's definitely not the controller since it works fine in every other game.

So is Hardcore gonna be as hard as it was in RE2?
Because even though I'm not that good in RE, I always make it a point to start on the toughest difficulty.

Not on controller but on keyboard/mouse, mashing R to reload would sometimes fail
Hardcore feels about the same, possibly a touch easier (granted, this is after grinding out speed runs on hardcore in RE2)
but everyone wants something different. there's no single audience. all a critic can do is review the game and give their opinion.
I just started a nightmare run and I'm surprised by how much is changed in terms of enemies and some itens. It's a much more desperate game. Also:

Thanks! I guess I wasn't holding down the trigger hard enough.

If this is accurate, then I am EXTREMELY excited to get to this difficulty! Yes!
The classic skin gave Jill a skort. Pitchforks now:
Her V A G I N A B O N E S are off the menu.
This is gonna be the one "cut" we get to hear about the loudest next week, won´t it? Sigh.

Lmao, less than 4 hours to complete the first run on standard. I'm kinda shocked at how short it is. My first run in RE2R, Leon A campaign was around 7 hours.
It was a good 4-ish hours, sure, and game lenght in itself isn't everything, but this is way too short. And I dunno, I guess I'll run through it again but I'm not really feeling the incentive the way I did with RE2 (although the B campaign definitely felt half baked compared to the A)
i think i'd be a lot more forgiving if the game shipped with a merc mode. Resistance is pretty bad, I predict it will be a ghost town in a few weeks.

I prefer the linear nature of RE3 over 2 honestly. Shame this game was reviewed harshly because of that our industry could use less bloated games.
I feel like even when you run out of ammo during a boss fight mode magically appears.
Finished it two times on hardcore mode and overall I quite enjoy it, but it's just not as much of a game as the Resident Evil 2 remake was, it's significantly shorter and has much less replayability.
Nemesis is in many ways a regression from Mr X, all encounters feel super scripted and not very dynamic, he's barely there as a dynamic gameplay element like Mr X was in RE2.
The shooting and combat mechanics are fantastic and great fun, the shotgun is fantastic. The overall production values are great and the cinematic are super well done, but the overall story just isn't that engaging.
Resident Evil 3 feels like a big expansion to Resident Evil 2, it's worth playing but I would be lying if i said it wasn't a mild disappointment to me.

Cosuin and I finished a hardcore run just a little bit ago, about 5:45 spent, we have no real attachment to the original RE3 like we did RE2 and we greatly enjoyed the game, though there are some changes we talked about that could've improved the experience.
Now to decide if I want to start a nightmare playthrough or no...

I remember keeping a granade in hand to down him quickly just as I did on hardcore, turns out he barely flinched. Red barrel? Still not enough. He even could ignore those generators' eletric burts. Not to mention he is faster. The fight when he gets the flamethrower was also very intense
I dare say it is. It really a shame how little of him stalking Jill (in gameplay) there is though. They should have done just like RE2 2nd run where Mr. X shows up sooner. I wonder if this is something a mod could do.
RE2 aint bloated. Neither is RE7. And both reviewed better.
There's nothing wrong with lean games.
But RE3 takes it to the extremes.
My advice? Give it a chance, even if it's only the beginning. It might surprise you.
This is why I didn't want to go through it on standard my first time, I feel like I would have breezed through it, It took me a lot of tries on HC and finished in 7hr, though it was closer to 10 because of how much I had to retry everything lol.
He drops upgrades for the base handgun! Other times just ammo
Yeah he is really good in this.
I always felt he had potential in the original but this game's version is really good.
I still can't nail Carlos's parry. I'm playing on hardcore and using the first zombie he fights as a test and I don't get it. Do they need to be stunned first?
oh I plan to eventually, just not sure if I want to start it up right now after just beating it and having been playing since 11 AM this morning.
This shit was hella frustrating for me too. You need to shoulder-check them then hit the button again to Wesker punch. But beware: sometimes they grab you mid tackle animation.
Yeah, Nightmare is rad. I was really disappointed with the game, but I had a lot of fun in Nightmare.

Resident Evil 3 Remake's Most Exciting Mode Is Hidden
RE3's secret Nightmare mode adds more scares and a greater challenge to the game by remixing encounters and reshuffling items.

I've been searching for a while but I can't find anything what's that supposed to be.
I'd be fine with games that weren't bloated if they weren't charging $60 for them.
Just had my 1st run in with Nemesis after the initial encounter. Phew I was not ready for it because the
had me low on resources.
bug/parasite section
The issue with the game isn't the length. It is just that there is very little content.
RE3 OG was short but the game was anything but small. It had lots to do after you finish it.

Just finished it and so much this. I honestly prefered the somewhat straight forward nature of each section over the sometimes sprawling areas of RE2Make. Really enjoyed my time with this one, outside of a few annoyances. Really hope Capcom keep up this trend and remaster them all in a similar fashion. I need more.
I'm enjoying this a lot so far but there is one thing that really drives me bonkers. The Dot-Sight upgrade isn't diagetic -- it just places a dot in the center of the already existing reticle. As a result, it doesn't do anything if you have the HUD turned off. If i'm remembering correctly, this isn't the way it functioned in RE2make, and it is utterly baffling as a design choice.
I'm bummed that the team didn't learn from the hud-off requests from RE2make -- turning off the HUD is a binary Yes or No, and as a result, means that you can't disable crosshairs without also disabling environmental pickup markers or QTE prompts. It's really dumb, and the fact that the Dot Sight just adds a dot into the center of the already-existing HUD crosshair instead of making it an actual lazer/dot in-game makes that upgrade actually a useless faff item that probably shouldn't be in the game.
I also really, really dislike how saves don't require ink ribbons, how there are Auto-saves, and how crate loot is randomized. It really incentivizes savescumming and rerolling for better drops. You can tell the teams didn't communicate much, because the polish from the RE2make's nearly immaculate design is all but gone in this game.
That being said, there is a lot to this that I am absolutely loving.

- Jill is fantastically realized, and is super well acted. Carlos is hot, but is dumb and I want him to stay quiet and look pretty. It doesn't help that he is basically a Jon Bernthal character in this game.
- The action dodge completely radicalizes the pace of combat in this game. It is a fantastic addition and I love it.
- The environments are extremely cleverly designed and well paced. The beginning city segments are fantastic, even if they are pretty short.
- Nemesis is buggy as hell. He reacts especially weirdly if you put him out of camera view. For example, as I was running away from him, I dodged one of his punches, causing him to go out of frame behind me. Instantly he respawned in front of me, leaping over one of the street barriers to stunlock me into near-instant death.
- Carlos is hot, but I want him to shut up. He is basically a Jon Bernthal character and that isn't really a compliment. Just sit there and look pretty, please.
- I had two First Aid sprays spawn from boxes in a row, which is a bit lucky. Granted I'm sure the "optimized" way to play would be to reroll for green herbs since I assume you can use them to make RGBs later down the line, but early game First Aid kits are rad
- It's funny that Nemesis can't enter certain locked areas, presumably because some players may need to access those areas later if they missed them the first pass through, but it does make the chases a little less intense.
Absolutely loving the beginning of this game.
But between my atrocious aim and a single bite putting me in the caution, I'm not so sure I'm gonna do well in Hardcore. A typical zombie feels like a handful for me now lol.

He is second to none! I really liked Nicholai in RE3 and he was my favorite villain in RE, but that's more because he was in RE3 and that scores major points with me. But this version of him is amazing in itself.
So when can I get drops from Nemesis? I need one more weapon upgrade for the record unlock and I'm only able to get him to drop stuff when he
•bursts through the wall
•mutates the zombie
•chases you into the sewers
When does he drop the third weapon upgrade?
