I'd polish her formula that RE1 started iykwim

RE3 was the third title in the main series that started with RE1.

>>10133190
Not exactly the same formula since it didn't have the two characters aspect but it was still great

RE1 was the final polishing of the RE1 formula. everything went downhill after that

3 was too much of an action game. RE should be slow paced with more puzzles and planning routes to avoid slow enemies and save ammo, not timing based dodge mechanics and tons of boss fights with ammo crafting. RE3 was the beginning of the end for RE.

>>10133307
I dunno, I love RE1 but I perfer RE3 being a bit different since if I want to play RE1 I'll just play RE1. I don't want RE1 with a different map 6 times in a row

A polished turd, sure

>>10133315
It was still good, I'm just saying it was the start of the trend of making them more into shooting games than puzzle games. RE4/5 went deep down that road and then from 6 on it was all bets off.

>>10133328
Ironically RE3 has the hardest/most confusing puzzle of the original trilogy

>>10133334
Not as pipes in Dino Crisis

>>10133334
Was that one even that hard? I thought if anything the water treatment puzzle tops it.

Had, 3 ruined it with action-elements.

>>10133792
2 already did that first.

>>10133804
It's up with RE1 until the laboratory and 2 had no action elements in character controls.

>>10133307
RE3 has way more puzzles and they are better than anything in RE2.

>>10133190
beat this in a single sitting yesterday testing my crt... what great ambience this game has especially when you're wandering the streets in the beginning.

>>10133265
Carlos?

elaborate.

the most impressive and interesting thing to me was the level design of the mansion and how satisfying it felt to progress through it understanding it's intricacies ever more, slowly unlocking all the doors and figuring out where to go, like a puzzle.

if RE3 doesn't have that...then idk, I guess it's just not interesting to me?

>>10133364
I spent 20 fucking minutes on that Damm water puzzle

1>2>3
Also it's only a trilogy.

>>10134217
>Carlos?

No, it's the same as 1 and 2 where you have a single character who has a helper side character. There's no proper 2nd scenario. If there was, it'd be Barry running around likely with either Rebecca or some other local girl trying to find Jill and get a chopper out of there. It'd be kinda cool if Barry was always a few steps behind Jill, starting at her apartment, and moving forward, fighting Nemesis and some other bosses a few times, and has a new end-stage where he has to get a heli.

>>10134430
>>10133364
How? You literally just line up the blocks so they add up to the same as the top one.

>>10134835
That's the "infamous water puzzle"? A TODDLER could solve that.

>>10133307
3 has tons of great puzzles. It's not as tense as 1 but still a good game. If it had a Carlos story then it would unambiguously be rated above 2 by everyone

4>2>3>1>REmake>RE:CV

2 = CV > 1 > 3

>>10135003
>CV
>better than any classic RE other than Zero

>>10135021
Correct.

>>10135021
Code Veronica is easily the worst one. Complete utter trash. RE is lucky to have survived that disaster.

>>10133190
>RE3 was the final polishing of the formula RE1 started.

true, good thing they did not forgot to add more female zombies. resident evil 3 is my favorite.

>>10135639
Based zombie fucker

>>10133196
KEK, based el retraso

>>10135639
Now is that because you love women and want to seee more of them, or hate women and want to gun them down?

Also funny that they're wearing Japanese women's fashion not actual American women's fashion. Japanese women love their dresses.

>>10134430
>I spent 20 fucking minutes on that Damm water puzzle

same here. the hardest puzzle in resident evil 3.

>>10136395
is based on american fashion from that time fag.
if it was japanese fashion you would see lot of sailor fuku,some zombies dressed like cheap sluts,other with miniskirts and small tops.

>>10133307
This, the action wasn't fun and wasn't to the strengths of the series.

>>10137909
Well, from what you mentioned about being Japanese women's fashion at the time, I think this was women's fashion from around the world to be honest, at least that's what we see in everyday images from this time.

Why do low info, low IQ secondaries thunderously overrate RE3?

>>10139570
low IQ secondaries thunderously overrate RE2*
Sorry, it was a typo

>>10136395
Lot of Japanese dress modest. And the re3 has Japanese style streets.

>>10139582
Mindbroken by seeing 50 zombies in the first 5 minutes before stepping into the RPD station

>>10140071

the zombie apocalypse in a videogame

>>10133307
People say this, but the "action" was limited to a few times at the beginning there's an exploding barrel setpiece, or you might get lucky and roll to safety when Nemesis swipes at you.
Most of the game is as slow paced as the others, just going around finding items and solving puzzles

>>10133196
your gonna keep converting gun powder using reloading tool to get enhanced ammo?
erm heck yeah

>>10142404
>Most of the game is as slow paced as the others

Actually, i felt resident evil 3 shorter than the 2 first ones...is like Capcom made it in a hurry or something.

>>10144052
It's definitely not shorter than 1. Maybe less than 2, but that's just on account of 2 having a ton of content.

>>10144052
I mean RE2 has a total of 4 scenarios plus 4th Survivor, Tofu and Extreme Battle. But if you're talking about just one of RE2's main scenarios, they're not that long. I'm not a pro speedrunner and I finished the game in 1h30m. I don't think RE3 is much shorter

A giant avantage of resident evil 3 over 1 and 2 is that in Re 3 you can skip the boring "talks" with the characters pressing the start button, while in resident evil 1 and 2 you have to endure them.

Too bad when Capcom made resident evil 1 and 2 in "dualshock" versions they did not added that advantage of skip the boring "talks". the dual schok versions could have been better if they would have done that change.

>>10144203
Oh no, you have to sit through 10 whole minutes of dialogue spread out across an entire video game! Better hit that fast forward button on your emulator.

>>10144203

>>10144203

Someone knows if there any hacked rom or something to avoid those annoying voice actings by pressing the "start" button?

ESLs do not deserve Resident Evil.

RE3 killed all remaining hype for the series until RE4 revamped everything

>>10145054
CV, REmake, and 0 all sold well, about the same as RE4 sold.
Compared to the PS1 games their sales went down initially due to the transition to new gen consoles.

>>10133190
REmake was the point of perfection for the whole RE series. It brought back the franchise back to horror, incorporated the best features of the previous games, and polished them to perfection.

>>10133792
It's not like you can't have action and horror. Zombie movies (the main inspiration for the series) always had action elements. Carpenter's The Thing has a lot of action and it's one of the best horror films ever made. If you mean action movie elements then I can see where your coming from, especially with CV:X, but it was really RE4 that really morphed the series from a horror franchise to a gothic themed shoot em up. 2 and 3 had action sequences here and there, but RE4 is just an action game from start to finish.

>>10133307
>RE should be slow paced with more puzzles and planning routes to avoid slow enemies and save ammo
Not only does RE2 have fewer puzzles than RE3, but the most optimal way of playing is to simply blast your way through the game because of just how much ammo you have. RE3 is the first game where you are actually punished for going gun crazy because of the Nemesis fights. If you actually try to kill everything in RE3, you will run out of ammo unlike RE1 and RE2.

>>10133307
Yes, but the hospital part playing with Carlos is among my favorite RE moments.

>>10144219
lol,in a speedrun if you add up the door transition and dialogue its almost half the run time.

>>10144919
ESLs appreciate RE more than bongs and burgers. I'm a leaf but I know that Mexicans and Brazilians are massive RE fans

>>10145814

My favorite one was the park. Too bad is too short.

I love playing 1 2 and 3 in order, they flow into one another so well

>>10145403
After looking it up I'm surprised to see that RE4 originally didn't sell half as well as I assumed, with more people playing rereleases almost a decade after. I thought everybody played RE4 around the time of release, it had such a big cultural impact. Same with RE2.
And meanwhile all the remakes are outselling the originals while being quickly forgotten.

>>10148486
Less people played video games back then, so it didn't need to sell as many copies to make a big splash in the smaller video game world.

>>10133190
Nah, the final iteration was Outbreak or REmake. I suppose RE2make brought it back one last time, though. Arguable.

>>10147125
Brown people can't handle tank controls.

theres probably some that have IQ above 100.

>>10149468
And so many people these days buy videogames and don't even play them. Every time I play a game achievements will pop up like
>Achievement Unlocked: Complete Level 1
>earned by 6.7% of players

People just buy games because some youtuber was playing it and then immediately move on.

>>10133328
Did you play RE1 and RE2? RE3 has better puzzles than both games combined

Why did Veronica never appear in any of the other games when literally every other character shows up in later entries. Especially 6. Everyone's there but no Veronica.

Parasite Eve would like to have a word

>>10152047
Fuck that shitty puzzle. Most god damn frustrating piece of crap ever in a videogame.

>>10152047
This is where I lost interest in the game lol. I just didn't have the motivation to figure this out.

>>10152209
>>10152217
In hindsight it was easy as fuck. They give you the answers 2 screens away

>>10152232
It is easy but placing the pieces in the proper order is just too damn boring since you got to switch them around a lot. Especially when you're going it for the 11th time.

>>10133307
RE was designed at the time for the way people went through game to game. RE1? Your first horror flick, you dunno what you're in for, you're probably gonna get Barry/Rebecca and maybe even the other player character killed, but replays refine your work. Then the devs expected fans of that to go to RE2 which throws you into the thick of it with no orientation time for the controls or setup, and from there, RE3 is intended to make you as badass as Jill became for her continued survival and your continued play. The puzzles never go away during all of this, they just tightened up the combat and mechanics.

It's RE4 onwards that took a drastic shift less about a continuous series experience and more establishing a new standard, and then RE5 and 6 decided to keep escalating from there instead and everything went to hell.

>>10150580
I know this a joke post and not retro, but the Umbrella lady that Chris speaks to over intercom in RE7 actually named Veronica

>>10144219
gamecube version can skip them
