Oh, yeah, RE3 is considerably longer.
That's it I guess

I like RE1 best personally.

i think re3 has a better atmospehere.

also, mercenaries > hunk/tofu > battleshit i dont remember the name

RE3 is my favorite because that city atmosphere is off the charts. Nemesis scares the shit out of me also.

>>2331550
I like RE3's "randomization" and the flexibility between weapon choices. It gave the game more replayability than 2 IMO. Sure RE2 has more iconic weapons but I feel the gun powder combos and the optional weapons you get from nemesis make for interesting playthroughs as well.

please, nemesis is absolutely the best villain in psx

having to playing the freaking game 4 times to get thewhole actual story is a bitch

I absolutely love all the classic REs, but I'd say for me it goes 2>CV>1>3.

OP is wrong, but it's okay. In order to be right, other must be wrong.

RE3 is the best.

>>2331745
RUN BITCH
RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

>>2331745
The girl is way hotter in RE 3.

OP is right that RE 2 is the better overall game. And by that I mean it is better to play while wearing overalls.

No, seriously it is better overall.

Claire>>>>>>>Jill

>>2331550
>Have I forgotten anything?

Nope. You're right. RE3 feels like an uninspired sequel.

1 had Shinji Ikami
2 had Kamiya
3 has Kazuhiro Aoyama

...who?

It's not a shock that 3 is lacking. The team is just not as good as the team for 1 and 2. It feels less inspired. It's also a lot dumber and hard to take seriously. It tries to raise the stakes by adding more action, but it's really hard to take seriously. Less is usually more.

I have played RE1, 2 and 3 at least a hundred times each (no exaggeration).

While RE3 may seem weak at first, due to how it looks so similar to RE2 at first (there is no huge graphical step forward, unlike with 2 to 1), when you know each game by heart you realize RE3 shines for its sheer fun factor and its MASSIVE replay value. The non linearility, the semi-random factors, the possibilities in terms of weapons and ammo, all this makes of it an ever-going exctiment for each playthrough, no matter how many times you play it, which isn't the case with any other RE.
Also the skill ceiling is much, MUCH, higher in RE3. It's easy to pick up but hard to master, notably due to the fantastic dodge system.

Finally I'd like to add that RE3 is by no way shorter than RE2. The difference is that RE2 takes its audiance for idiots, RE2 thinks the players won't realize they've been fooled into playing the same thing 4 times to pretend the game is longer than it really is.

With a given same length of "real" unique content in a game (what I mean by that is, if you take out all the things you do several times in RE2; and if in RE3 you add all the different possibilities, you pretty much end up with the same amount of real unique content), I'd rather have one scenario, with different paths and different ways to go at it, than have 4 stiff scenarios which all are 90% the same.

>>2333023
Agreed.

>>2331745
How about you write what makes RE3 better in your opinion instead of saying shit like "my opinion=fact"

RE3
>muh branching path / multilple choices

1.go to newspaper building or to restaurant and two different choices in those respective places
2.jump down the hole in garage or climb out
3. jump out of the train or not
4. push nemesis off the bridge or jump

There's other stuff you'll see depending on where you go first like that merc in train fighting off zombies, some other enemy placements, Mikhail killing that guy and Barry Burton ending.

But all of that isn't enough to make it on pair with RE2, IMHO. Just for me, that's just my opinion ok?
Everything stated in the OP goes for me.
Also, I'd like to mention that original costumes are better in RE2 and speaking of extra ones:
Jill's STARS costume was neat, other's not so, but Claire's western uniform + Peacemaker is definitely better. Leon's letter jacked is ok-ish, the other extra costume is lame.

>starrrrzzz

You can't force someone to see the light, you can only hope they find it for themselves given time.

RE3 > RE2
True believers, I highly recommend playing the Dreamcast version. Costume Select is unlocked from the start, the VMU displays your health, and the game runs almost PC smooth.

>2.jump down the hole in garage or climb out

Most useless choice in RE3, it's my fav RE but I litereally go WHY.jpeg everytime I get to that point

plz some1 tell this choice has some kind of impact

>>2334224

It may be poor memory but I vaguely recall that like the newspaper building herbs can be generated down there and you will otherwise never see them if you dont jump.

>>2334232
I dont remember that but I'll keep an eye out next time if they spawn or not.

>>2334232
That's right, but they don't always appear there.

HINT : if they are there, you actually see them in mini format in the press office (see pic)

>>2331550

I like the story of RE3 best, also think RE2 is way too easy.

The answer is Code Veronica.

>>2334939
When RE started to be shit

RE2 > RE3, deal with it

>>2332954
>>it's really hard to take seriously
>he takes RE seriously

>>2334939

Nobody gives a fuck

>>2334204
PC version also has costume select from the start

Will you also fall into the category of posters who write their opinion as facts or will you explain why you hold RE3 in higher regard?
'Cause, unless people argument their reasons, there can be no discussion

>>2332935
Yeah

>>2335009
If you're gonna shitpost would you kindly fuck off?

-RE2 intro is better than RE3 intro
-RE2 end animation is better than RE3 end animation
-RE2 music is better (dat library track, dat ending rock music)
-Mr. X in RE2 appears at much better intervals than Nemesis; RE3 burdens you with Nemesis
-RE2 has better enemies and bosses
-RE2 has more puzzles
-writing/dialogues in RE2 can be really camp/bad at times, granted, but there's much more dialogue in RE2 than in 3
-RE2 has much more NPCs and those are solidly fleshed out
-RE2 has more weapons, although Spark gun is shit
-RE2 has weapon upgrades although shotgun and magnum parts come too late in the game
-RE3 is harder and has better controls

So, FOR ME, those are the reasons why RE2 is better than RE3

I agree with you for the most part OP, but I think mercenaries was really fun. More fun than the Hunk bonus mode in RE2.

What does the /vr/ RE community think of this?

Honestly I'm so in the zone after Rev2, I'd play anything

>>2338407
Looks interesting, but you can see the signs of artists that lack experience, like flatly shaded walls without any detail, blood that should be much more subtle, weapons that have sound too satisfactory for a suspense/horror game and so on.

>>2334204
Seconding this. The DC versions of RE2 and 3 are the best you can get on a console. They're even VGA compatible unlike the Dreamcast port of Dino Crisis for some reason.

>>2338407
Looks like an early beta.
But, to not be too hard: not bad for a fan made game

>>2338407
>>2338541
>>2339584
I'd go with this I think the part with the forklift and subway train look really bland without any sort of texture or detailing. Like a 3D model fresh off the tray

It's too bad no total conversion mods for RE have ever made it to completion.

>>2331550
I agree with you. RE2 just felt much tighter all around. RE3 is good but RE2's pacing is pretty much perfect. Could have had maybe 2 more bosses.

>>2341716
Well, Tyrant encounters in B scenario make u for that, if you will, and are much better placed that Nemesis ones

>>2331550
Best console port of RE2 was for Dreamcast.
Too bad it was only released in Japanese.

>>2343435
What? I've got an English copy of RE2 Dreamcast sitting on my shelf.

>>2332954
What does the popularity of the lead designer have anything to do with the quality of the game? I'm sure most of the same people who did RE1 and 2 worked on 3 anyway.

>>2343678
I don't know, but there's a continuity between RE 1/2/3, with small stuff like the Ada password in RE1 and then Ada Wong in RE2, it made me feel like there was a planning of some sort
Something the next games didn't had

>>2331745
>Not fighting nemesis.

You know he drops bonus items when you knock him out, right?
