/vr/ - Retro Games

RE3 was just my childhood nightmare game. Nemesis scared the shit out of me. I love the game more for its wealth of options and variation as an adult now.

...Especially the gunpowder system, which had a lot of nonobvious shit behind it like a hidden leveling system of increasing returns. Gunpowder mixing was almost like a customized item drops system - if you want to do a run that has truckloads of handgun ammo and scarce everything else (ie kill everything and have longer boss fights), or a run where most grenade rounds were fairly common and other ammo was not (ie conserve a bit and demolish tougher enemies), it accommodated either. Also, gunpowder placements were semi-randomized and changed based on what order you do things in the story, allowing further customization in the case of controllable ones and mixing things up a little with those that weren't.

And even AFTER you decided what types of ammo out you wanted of your gunpowder, you still had options to weigh in terms of how much to weight your ammo drops towards the early parts of the game and the later parts. This is because if you combine 3 "gunpowder B" you'll get more than they're worth individually, but if you put them in individually you accelerate the leveling of that ammo type, enabling you to cash in on it later with significantly larger returns when you finally start putting full BBB combinations into it. AND after a certain number of combines, you get the option of making Enhanced handgun ammo or Enhanced shotgun ammo, which were incompatible with the Eagle 6.0 handgun and Western Custom shotgun and therefore made the original handgun or shotgun into viable alternatives to keep using.

Options, man.

yes but I have a big oak entertainment center I'm using

I have a 27" Sharp in there that's dying, and I know the 32" Trinitron is too wide to fit, so a 30" might be just right, goldilocks-style
