I did already have that one. Had everything you guys listed as easy to miss. I figured knowing me it was something super easy to find. Sure enough it was...

Played the game a couple of hours each night, and finally beat it tonight. I thought the game was well paced, took my time exploring everywhere, and played it on assisted and had a blast. My game time completion was 7 hours and my total playtime was almost 9 hours. I played and beat RE2R for the first time last weekend, and this game really compliments each other. I like them equally for similar and different reasons. RE2R is as far as Resident Evil should go with action as it had a good blend of survival horror and blockbuster action cutscenes and boss fights. I really hope Capcom has some singleplayer DLC for this. If not, I'd be happy if they just sell an Unlock All In-Game Rewards DLC.
In Resident Evil 2 playing as Leon, around the alligator encounter you hear the occasional loud explosion above. I can only surmise that takes place when Nemesis is chasing Jill with the rocket launcher. Though that doesn't make sense since it's raining when Leon and Ada leave the parking garage, meet Kendo, and make their way to the sewer. Now that I think about it, I don't think it ever rains during Resident Evil 3.
Fighting Hunter Betas is so much fun! That Horde part was incredible, too.
This game really feels like the closest we've got to RE5, and I'm all over it.
Is Revelations 2 anything like it? Still didn't play it, but I do own the game.

very different. I personally hate the gun play in the Rev titles. Story is good though. The second character being a item spotter is completely pointless as well imo and feels tossed in for some reason. I think most are pretty positive on them and outside the scenario, I'm just not that big a fan of it personally.
Ahh, I see. Bummer, but it's good to have the right expectations.
They did Jill's Samurai Edge justice.
Granted it's a borderline cheat gun, but damn it feels good to shoot and not have it feel weak.

Aaand there, I got a infinite rocket launcher for like the first time in the series actually lol.
(Too bad the in-game one isn't the anti-tank rocket).

Yeah not many costumes, would have loved to see the RE5 Jill costume in RE engine goodness.
Heck i'd have even taken the MP5 from REMAKE 2 as another weapon.
Considering its RE3 at the very least throw in a Regina costume and a new version of the RPD Officer uniform.
but change it to be more inline with
for example.

doesnt mean that much tho since its a dream

Just finished the game on Nightmare and wow the final boss is some real bullshit. I take it it's even worse on Inferno?
Also, where are everyone using their 5 saves on Inferno? I was thinking:
Power Plant
First boss fight
Hospital
Underground Warehouse
Final boss

A quick note on Nemesis, I remember seeing in the initial reveals and whatnot some complaints about his 'STAAAAAARS' vs the original. I'm glad to see those mostly gone because I thought he ended up sounding great and using it plenty.
Nah, Jill is unconscious during the entirety of RE2, so it wouldn't happen like that.
Ultimately the easiest way to remember the timeline is:
1. Start of RE3 through the point where Carlos administers the vaccine to Jill.
2. All of RE2 happens (Jill is unconscious the whole time, Carlos is watching her and presumably sleeping a bit himself)
3. Jill wakes up and does the rest of RE3.
Obviously there's finer points to it and you can follow the days/hours, etc, but that's the quickest explanation.
Also, another point I see people confused about a lot is why RE2, in both the original and remake, never mentions that Raccoon City is obliterated/bombed at the end of the outbreak. The first reason is that Leon, Claire, and Sherry escape about a full day before it happens, and by all accounts they got out of dodge pretty quickly. The other reason is, of course, that RE2 came out first and that plot point didn't exist til RE3. I assume the RE2 remake just kept things consistent and didn't get into it.

The only mention of the nuke in RE2 is in Hunk's mission, during the radio transmission. Subtle but it's there!
I think Rev 2 is a really fun game and if you dig Action-y RE, the Mercenaries mode, although called something else I forget, is great.
Overall it's very arcade-y and you feel the budget but I like it a lot more than RE5, 6 and 7 for example. It's got that B-tier PS2 era charm going on.
One thing I hate about both RE2 and RE3 is that you can't access the menu during the long drawn out death animations. It's really frustrating when I know I fucked up but have to sit through a long animation to reload my save. I presume it has to due with the dynamic difficulty system, otherwise I can't understand why they do that.
I need this version of Jill to carry over into future games. I'm hoping that post credits tease ties into a future game set post VII.
Eh yes and no. In a way it's not that the final boss is unfair, it's that stunlocking should not be a thing in this game. Jill should get invincibility frames on recovery since there's literally no counterplay to the Nemesis combos. The final boss just has the worst stunlock combos so this design flaw glares brightest. But it's also a problem in the fight right before (Nemesis has a flail combo that can stunlock you to death) or to a lesser extent version 1 Nemesis or the Nemesis infected zombies - on Inferno they tongue lash so much it can kill you before you can really do anything about it.
This is all Nightmare and Inferno, by the way: I love love love all the boss fights on Hardcore and that seems to be the difficulty everything was balanced around.
The final boss is also unfair on Nightmare/Inferno because his attacks are arrythmatic and they happen too fast for the player to react once they begin, so they have to anticipate with a dodge rhythm. But his right hand down smash, smashes down at different time intervals (there's a pause after the first and before the second, but no pause after the second and before the third) whereas his left one smashes down repeatedly and then pauses and does a final one. This is all a helluva lot of reliance on perfect dodging AND perfect memorization of his moveset, something that isn't required by virtually any other respected action game that I'm aware of.
I feel like I never heard him say it during my playthrough. To be fair, I also didn't recall Jill saying
her iconic STARS line in my playthrough till I looked it up.
Beat it on Hardcore today.
This game was really good. It was also pretty disappointing. Seeing the amount of stuff cut from the original just makes you realize how much better the game could've been with more time in the oven. Nemesis himself did not have nearly as much of an impact on me as Mr. X did. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game. I just wish it had more to it. Brad's time in the game was wack.

Just watching the Easy Allies playthrough, there's a few cutscene ones and he says it a few times while chasing too. The
one I liked most is when Jill and Carlos are running from him to the train and he comes through the door they closed. They hear him come through the door and its a good 'STAAAARS'
Got all the achievements and 100% in the game. I got pretty good at the last boss fight on Inferno, once you learn the pattern you can take him down pretty quickly. I like how good the burst fire pistol is in that fight lol, only place I use it really.
Anyway, here's hoping they do some DLC.

I'm a sucker for games that can be replayed over and over, and this is just that -- not just because of the short campaign/tight pacing, but also because you're always improving your skills at dodging/countering.
I know that, objectively, RE2 might be the better game all around, and I know RE3 is a remake that gutted a lot from the original, but... game design-wise, this does the right things to me.

It's in that room with the first item box, right after when you leave the subway.
This is definitely the type of game that a lot of people disliked at first for multiple reasons, like being more actiony then RE2 Remake, shorter and such.
But as time goes on, more and more people will change their mind and say it was a great game after all. Kind of like another RE3..

Goddamn I didn't think you'd get it that early lol. Guess we really need it.
Is the minimalist trophy/achievement not unlocking for anybody else? Just completed a run without ever touching an item box and its still locked :\
Only thought is maybe because I didn't do it in a single sitting or possibly opened one up at some point and forgot

Context: I used infinite launcher for my run (I feel the dev/designers intended for this personally)
The worst part of the game on Inferno is easily the beginning, after that it's cake city.
I only used 4 saves here:
- Reaching Kendo (this is pretty sketch because of the Nemesis sequences which are straight trash, since Nemesis gets a ridiculous speed + damage boost - so feel free to use one prior or during this whole series of events)
- Before Nemesis Dog fight (honestly not needed, launcher makes this fight a joke - like every Nemesis fight really)
- Before Nemesis chemical fight (at the very least you should have 2 saves left when you reach NEST)
- Before final fight (for obvious reasons)

Yeah, the cut content is a bummer, but what's there is still pretty solid.
The dodge/parry are so good and R3make Jill is amazing.
First playthrough finished. Hardcore mode in just over 5 hours.
I liked it, but nowhere near as much as RE2R last year. I wish the dodge felt more reliable to me, I can't seem to grasp how it works fully and the idea of mastering it feels a bit more overwhelming than I'd like, and Nemesis's use in the game felt very underwhelming to me as someone who actually enjoyed Mr X's pursuer dynamic last year.
Those flaws aside, I do feel compelled to replay the game, but I don't think I'll put the effort in for the Platinum trophy. I'll probably run it a couple more times to get a few shop unlocks (the shop is cool!) and for my own amusement, but not gonna pursue the really hardcore trophies/achievements this time around.
Also, Jill in this game is so fucking cool.

the final boss fight on nightmare is really living up to the difficulty name.
edit: wow beat it without taking damage just after I sent this comment

I get that but the RE2 team clearly wanted there to be some overlap. The RE3 team deciding to give the story a detailed timeline was a mistake. It taking half a day for Carlos to reach Jill is a baffling time gap to include in this kind of story. It does give them a window to put in some extra Carlos DLC if Capcom wants to or another game that overlaps with RE3.
I hope one day we get a clearer look at what all transpired during the development of RE2 and 3.
I was skeptical if a Mercenaries mode would ever work with the durability of REmake zombies but man if it gave you the timing of dodges/parries with that of the STARS manuel gives you, it would've been fun.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm planning on using the infinite rocket launcher as well. From everything I've heard, it really does sound like Inferno was balanced around it.
I figure the Power Plant will be a good safety save in case I have trouble with the early chase sequences, as I really don't want to replay through the start of the game multiple times. Kendo definitely seems like a much better second save spot though, as the rocket chase sequence is one of the parts I'm dreading the most.
How was the final boss though? On Nightmare with both defence coins I could survive his three hit combo by dodging just one of the attacks, is it the same on Inferno or do I have to dodge more?
