Resident Evil 3 |OT| Desperate Escape

The training manual really helps make Carlos's parry viable.
It's not just you, I've seen at least one review mention that.
Solid 7. RE2R is superior in almost every way though, especially the pacing. and I don't get how this has less extra modes than RE2R. and is it just me, or is the zombie damage toned down?
that said, I love this version of Jill, I dunno if they're gonna attempt to remake 4, but I wanna see these remake characters in new games so damn bad.

Yo these hunter 1HKO's are MESSING me up
Fucker just spammed it 3 times. Got the counter twice and the third time had me killed by the same one for the 4th time in a row.

They need to make an RE3:X. Add two objectives you have to complete (that are very clear and easy to identify without aimless searching) while Nemesis chases you. Release it next gen. It won't be the game it should be, but it would hurt less and improve the game a lot.
The problem with the original soundtrack implementation is that
1. The worst track in the game plays for a little too long (the one that plays when Marvin comes after you).
2. The second boss track never plays ... an actual boss track.
First thing that came to my mind. I loved the night setting with a slightly blue lightning.
When I saw the first 1.5 screens back then I thought the whole game would have that kind of atmosphere.
Been enjoying the game a lot; I just reached
and maybe it's because I've braced myself for the worst based on other's feedback but I don't feel disappointed. I've enjoyed all the characters and their portrayal in this game especially Jill (Compared to the lackluster Characterization of RE2makes's take on Claire and Leon making kissy faces at each other). It is a bit sad that it sounds like I've explored most of the Raccoon City streets at this point and I already know about the omission of locations from the original title but on its own merits I'd say this game is a very solid 8 or 8.5 compared to RE2makes 9 or 9.5. Oh and hearing those remixed or rearranged RE3 tracks is amazing! Nemesis's lack of encounters is a bit disappointing, but when he does show up it's usually memorable. The first boss fight with him was way more enjoyable than most of the bosses in RE2.
It's a very fun action take on the RE2make formula in the same way the original RE3 was a more action-focused take on the original RE1 and 2. I'd say I'd want more puzzles, but RE3 original didn't really emphasize them either. I look more kindly on this game being a quick followup to the RE2make which really satiated my taste for a return to the good old days.
Now remake the Spencer mansion again and make it play more like RE2make. I'll wait Capcom.

zombie damage is toned down via the mash/hold prompt. Considering that there are always more enemies onscreen at once than RE2R, it makes sense to have that change.
That aside, the game did ship with Resistance which they're banking on as the additional mode but ymmv with that. We could potentially see more content come in the future similar to Ghost Survivors with RE2.
Agree with your whole post but this bit especially
The script and acting is probably the best and most natural I've seen in an RE. I know that may sound like sarcastic praise lol but it's true
'Bitch can't even swim' line was genuinely perfect
I was thinking the exact same thing at one point in the Hospital.
But not really? If you mash, it seems like you take the same damage you would have taken from RE2 remake from a bite. Here you're just penalized even more if you don't mash. Two bites without doing anything puts you at critical on Normal difficulty. Also, I get that they want everyone to see their fancy bite death animation, but good lord. After the first time, I really don't need to sit for ten seconds watching the canned death scene again. Let me skip it.
I really enjoyed the characters a lot more in this than I did the previous game. Not just the acting, but whatever they did with their face tech was a vast improvement. Both Jill and Carlos looked way more natural to me than both Leon and Claire. Their faces just always looked so "off" to me.

Old Carlos in general was hot garbage. New Carlos is that dude though.
About the ending:
Specifically the post credits scene, look at this:
Those look like man fingers, could that be Chris?! He's the one associated with the color green... CVR tease?

I think they might be referring to the
head crabs with tentacles.
Honestly I agree.
Hower it has a few weird corner cuts here and there and an extreme lack of content
I can buy that this was originally an extension of RE2 though.
But so much feels like they did put more thought into it then RE2 stuff like reading files changing dialog.
Or just something like looking at the STARS photo and getting a voice line.
Music is absolutely no contest as well
They also put way more characterization in than RE2,
Not that I know of. It makes other playthroughs more bearable.
It's difficult to play chronologically at one point of the game, but I'm doing my best. I'm really enjoying playing between both games, although I think they need to patch some parts of RE2 to marry up both versions a little more (just patch in one vehicle).
Yesterday I´ve reached that one point after the accident where you climb up a ladder and see this:
And twenty minutes later I knew, cutting the clocktower is straight up trolling.
That`s RE3 Remake in a nutshell. This game is trying so hard not be classic RE, that it hurts.

"You think I don't know how to fuck you up"
They were annoying, but they make sense due to the key to Nemesis being the parasite, and them being created by Nemesis. I liked that they kept the parasite infections of human bodies consistent.
Aside from the first cutscene one, you can get past them all without activating it.
I finished it tonight and despite being very wary going into it, I might like it more than RE2R.
Loved every second of it.
You're not crazy, (some) critics just got it wrong. They docked it hard for game length (based on a timer that doesn't even tell you how long you actually played the game for since it doesn't include cinematics).
The music is a huge part of Resident Evil for me, and they handled that aspect so much better than RE2 Remake. It's part of the soul of RE to me, and here it was on full blast. Gorgeous OST all the way.
I'd still like to see the completion screen. I honestly cannot see how you managed to get through it so quickly unless you used a guide and just ran through knowing exactly where to go.
kinda weird you'd ask me to do that, I played the game without a guide not knowing anything about it (played the demo and that's about it, didn't play the original) it's all pretty straight forward and the puzzles (if you can call them that) are very easy, I'd love to say I rushed through the game but I really didn't, picked up everything I saw and probably most of the hidden stuff, maybe didn't pick up the last gem at the start area.
Why would you think this game should go longer?, it's really, really simple.
Or a game Resident Evil: City of the Dead which amalgamates both stories into one cohesive storyline in a 24 esque story (without split screen). But until that unlikely event I've pinpointed the places to switch discs, even if it's not perfect (about 4 disc switches), and unless you're running both games on two monitors and pausing in-between one cut scene it'll never be perfect. But it'll do 😜
It's really not that simple that 3 hours on your first run sound reasonable.
It took me 6h30m and I didn't struggle or back track much at all. There was a decent amount of figuring out which way o go that you couldn't possible know unless you lucked out constantly or read a guide.
Plus, there are teo clear times. The one on the results screen told me 4 hours. The one in the top right told me 6h30m, which is where I think you were confused.
I like the writing, number of and general quality of the files in this game as well. I think RE3 does a better job of documenting the escalation of the crisis than any other RE game. Especially in the hospital, a lot of the files were legit quite tragic.
I have 19/20 charlie dolls..i've looked in two playthroughs in the spots they are supposed to be and for whatever reason it's just not popping up. anyone else having this issue? playing on Xbox.
I decided to cave in even after cancelling my previous preorder because i enjoyed REmake 2 a lot and i really wanted to play this (the fact that i found a cheaper price helped), and after beating it a couple of hours ago with a total time of 9h on normal (for comparison's sake, my Leon A was 8h in RE2R), i have to say that i had a great time with it and do not regret my purchase whatsoever.
When's REmake REMAKE?
Holy shit does the game start strong: what a fantastic way to open the game, with Nemesis wake up call.
Unfortunately, it is not long before you start to realize how extremely rushed the game feels:
- Nemesis is incredibly underused, like, you escape from his regular form for like 5 minutes and that is pretty much it. Then a bunch of sequences where you have to run and the boss encounters. There is no element of surprise and it is a goddamn shame. Talk about missing potential.
- Enemies (from regular zombies to pale heads) reused, as are some mechanics.
- More linear than RE2R, with missing setpieces from the OG and barely any puzzles.
- Hell, even the models from the gallery are missing the animations that RE2R has.
However, even with it's flaws, it was fun:
- Jill is great and looks fantastic in her classic costume, skort and all. Carlos looks great as well.
- I found the dodge move to be unreliable against zombies (i think i did it only once at the beginning of the game and that was it), but it was fun when it worked against Nemesis.
- The overall presentation is top notch, from graphics to sound and music.
- I enjoyed the bosses much more than the bosses from RE2R.
- I can see myself replaying it a couple of times with some of the shop bonuses (i have like 52k points to be used and i have yet to decide what i'm going to buy to not break the game too much for my first replay).
It is a shame that it feels more like an expansion for RE2R than it's own game (it probably was at some point, but that couldn't be sold for 60€/$, couldn't it?), mostly because of how they treated Nemesis and what it could had been, but it was great anyways. Hopefully they will end up adding something more to it down the line like they did to RE2R.

Did you check the first one on the ground between the newsstands? That area becomes inaccessible later.
