Would you use a mod to remove Nemesis from Resident Evil 3?
- Thread starter SofNascimento
- Start date
I certainly have nothing against people wanting to enjoy a game as they see fit but I question why even bother playing RE3 without Nemesis there? Play another RE game instead? Nemesis is going to be fun. Still it's your game, knock yourself out.
I wouldnt personally, but I also wouldnt mock the hell out of other people for doing so. That RE2 Mr.X thread was just sad in this respect.
The game is not even out yet, and people are already contemplating removing a core part from it?? Why would you even play the game then? Surely there are other options for you if you, so many games nowadays...
I cant wrap my head around this logic, so no.
No Nemesis = No Resident Evil 3

Yes Mr X was repetitive and boring. Nemesis likely woule be better in smaller doses. Don't over expose the moster in a horror.
Actually I don't plan to buy it anyway because of Resident Evil 2's repetition, maybe just buy it cheap and explore Racoon City with Mods, whatever gives me fun.

In a way, there weren't. After he shows up at the RPD, every single moment you can expect him to show up. Of course, that's for new players. Once you understand the game you know there are times where he won't show up, but if you're playing for the firs time, the thought that he can show up right next door is ever present.
As some wise comment on youtube said, Nemesis doesn't give, he takes it away!
The OP says it only gets rid of the repetitive Hunter gameplay, I might enjoy him more in scripted moments and boss fights where every encounter feels special
Hell no, this would be like removing the timer from Majora's Mask. Only cowards would do such a thing.
Hello! Couldn't stand him in my first two playthroughs, because I didn't feel like he did actually add anything meaningful. I know some found his encounters to be tense, or stressful, but I did find him to just be an annoying distraction. Mainly because he wasn't hard to avoid at all, and you had to either duck in a side, safe room to wait him out, or lure him out of the immediate area you were exploring just to get him out of your hair for a while.
I had such a negative reaction to him the first time that I dreaded the replay. Having recently replayed the game again for the third and fourth time though just a few weeks ago (as well as having a friend finally play through the game until the end), it wasn't really that bad. At least on the normal scenario, he doesn't really appear super early, and his staying time isn't really that long either, especially after your initial run. My reasoning for even deciding to replay the game anyway in the first place was because of finding out about the No X Mod, but I decided to not even download it. Honestly, I was reminded what the actual bad thing about REmake 2 was, and what I actually think can fuck off: adaptive difficulty. The better you do, the more health enemies get.
I didn't like RE3 all that much, but with the updated engine, the dodge mechanic should at least be more fluid here, and Nemesis isn't some kind of "Surprise Motherfucker" mechanic you don't know about ahead of time, and was in the original. There was also a reason to actually fight him in that game, unlike Mr. X in most encounters.
I've completed RE2 with Tyrant and I'll complete RE3 with Nemesis.
Because I'm cool and not afraid of anything.

The only mod I'd want is something that gives him a complimentary rap song.

The thought of a Nemesis-less RE3 legit makes me feel sick. It's like Ghost Trick without Missile or Doom without the BFG.
In MM you need the timer to do the notebook sidequests. It adds to the atmosphere but it's not as repetetive as Mr X because you never have to repeat dungeons and mini dungeons in the main story because you're always unlocking new items, activating owl shortcuts that don't get reset.
All M X made me do is run in circles until he dissapeared and I put an item in something and it was repetitive, unsuspenful crap. It's not cowardly because I still finished the game, it was just boring.
Nemesis is the character and mechanic around which all of RE3 is designed, X is an ineffectual nuisance that provides, in my opinion, little value.
I stopped playing RE2 because of Mr X. It was rarely scary and often annoying to do puzzles and backtracking with him around.
I don't have any interest in playing a game planned around this annoying mechanic.
I also doubt any mod would rebalance it appropriately.

Not sure why you're bringing up Mr. X when replying to me when I never mentioned him.
My guess is they're going to overuse him in the remake and make him more boring like Mr X. Like oh it must be better because he's in it more...

Why would I remove the main point (and only point in the original, since it had little evolution) of the game?
On what though? Because at that point, they are playing a completely different game, not joining in on RE3 Nemesis.
I find the idea of custom fitting every game to my exact specifications of what I think I'd prefer incredibly boring, so no, I'll leave the game as is.
That's not just it. I would prefer to re explore my favourite locations from the original and re experiene the story without any more of that repetitive Mr X stuff.
They're free to join in by playing normally. Removing Nemesis is removing one of the main components of the game that makes it work.
Why do they need your approval to what they need to be free to do? Do you know how bad that sounds?
WIth how this website talks about modding stuff in Resident Evil. You'd think websites like NexusMods would be talked about with angry curses flying about.
inevitably the most popular mod will be some kind of sexy jill mod...or maybe a sexy carlos mod?
i sometimes hit up the most popular (last 30 days) mods for mhw on nexus and there are usually a handful of sexy/visual ones in there
My money is actually on a female version of Nemesis being the most popular mod. Unless there is really interesting cut content left in the bse game that is super easy to put back in. Then I think that'll take the top spot. Sexy versions come after
