This is partially why I like the atmosphere of RE1 better than RE2. I can buy that some ultra-paranoid millionaire would build a small lab innawoods and have some architect built a mansion on top with lots of man-traps and panic rooms etc.
it's a bit more of a stretch that a police station would have even half the wacky shit this game had. I don't mind too much, I still love RE2 because it's fun. By RE3 the game goes completely off the rails too with Jill having to find jewels to put into a statue of the mayor to get a secret car battery.

I agree, it's nice to play Resident Evil 1 in isolation and just enjoy the story being that Umbrella was a corporation that pushed a little too far ethically, and Wesker was a researcher who sold them out for a paycheque.
Even by RE2, as much as I like it, the story was going in a much sillier direction with Umbrella having a special ops security force and underground secret tunnels and the like.

Oh, the puzzles are random in RE3? That's interesting, I literally just finished it for the first time this afternoon and was debating giving it another run through. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as RE1 and 2, but it was still very good.

I didn't like Nemesis much my first time playing I thought it was more a nuisance than fun, although it was definitely fear inducing. Maybe on a replay it's different? Is the best tactic to just avoid him until you need to fight him at the set sections of the game?

And yeah I didn't mind the ammo by the end of it. It's very satisfying to make magnum ammo, I had lots by the mid section of the game which was really useful for Hunters.

I will also say I was surprised at how little you play as Carlos, considering how important dual characters seemed to be for all the other classic RE games. I thought it would be like a 50/50 split.
