/vr/ - Retro Games

I like it. Never saw the replay value that other people do.

I do wish they kept the horror b movie vibe.

>mom bought me Resident Evil 2 for Christmas
>never played RE1 but okay, games are games
>holy shit this is great!
>next year discover Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 3 solidifying love of genre
>it is time
>acquire and play Resident Evil 1
>...oh

I never really cared for the game. Admittedly, it suffers from not having been the first in the franchise I'd played.

Had no idea. Actually just started a new playthrough on the Saturn with a buddy the other day. We get too drunk and blow all our bullets. He claims I should be stabbing zombies upwards to hit their heads with the knife. Is this correct?

I'd never played it before but me and my partner have a youtube channel as a hobby so it was a good chance for us to play it for the first time and see what its like.
If you're not too annoyed by the thought of seeing someone experience resident evil for the first time and don't hate lets plays/video game videos then you can come see us try it out. Its fresh eyes on a 20 year old game here:

>>3083202
ha ha ha ha, Thats amazing. The game looks soooo good in that video.
I'm not normally into lets plays as they are normally annoying kids shouting all the time but this was quite funny, shame the next part is not out. You've gained a new sub!

>>3083167
Rammstein?

>>3083202
I liked it.

You know if the original has any advantage over the remake it's that Jill doesn't fall on her butt every three seconds.

Yeah I get that it's probably because they didn't want to animate it but still point stands

>>3083268
Right in the childhood anon. Got any more?

>>3083167
Wow Sylvester Stallone looks good.

My first RE was Code Veronica on DC. I loved it and picked up RE2, which I also loved (and I realised the knife was useless in non CV games...)

Didn't get the original until years later on Saturn. I found it really difficult and didn't get to finish it yet. Determined to go back and replay it.

Resident Evil 1.5 was it's true sequel and where the series should have ended as originally planned. I hope someday the 80% build is leaked. Until then, big middle finger to the idiots hacking up the 40% or whatever version, and making their own fan fiction "vision" of a game and begging on patreon for donation money.

Resident Evil 1 is still best Resident Evil.

Why would Jill need to hold all the keys? She is the master of unlocking.

>>3083167
>RE's birthday
>no RE sale on Steam

For that matter is there no spring sale this year? I really want to buy REmake and Zero. I never played either.

>>3083278

>>3083167
>Not played REmake tho.
>should I?

you haven't played the best RE game to date? yes, you most definitely should.

I'd even argue the original GC version looks better. the blurry image kinda adds to the atmosphere imo.

>>3083426
I'm sorry you're unable to like things on the internet

>>3083426
>irish shill
Being this geographically dumb

So this is marginally related but is the Umbrella Chronicles game on Wii worth getting? It's a rail shooter but based on RE1 and 3 afaik.

>>3083175
>I do wish they kept the horror b movie vibe.
Which was entirely unintentional. Biohazard is supposed to be super cereal and super sincere. The ham and cheese was a product of sloppy translation and Japanese devs who couldn't speak English and didn't understand the nuances of English language acting.

>>3083671
Then how do you explain the cheesy cover?

>>3083410
Hey FUCK YOU faggot. Team IGAS are fucking GODS compared to you.

Oh suck my dick and FUCK OFF DXP.

>>3083167
which version of the game was that cover from?

>>3083196

The knife is pointless. Just watch your ammo because you don't have to kill everything you see.

>>3083331

It can be hard the first time through, but after that it's pretty easy. You just have to watch your ammo and save ribbons (I think there's only 25 in the game). Are you playing as Chris or Jill?

>>3083668

With a friend is the best way to play it. Some parts are frustrating as fuck, but you'll have a good time.

>>3083675

A product of it's time.

>>3084343
The knife in RE1 is actually the second-strongest knife in the series, first being Code Veronica. A knife in RE1 does damage roughly equal to the handgun, and does more damage than it when used against the dogs, hunters, or the plant.

It got nerfed to dust in RE2.

>>3083196
You can stab their legs to knock them down faster, but that's a last resort tactic.

>>3083331
The knife is very useful in RE3, because you can now dodge stuff. If you can master the mechanics, it becomes trivial to kill almost anything (save for a group of zombies) with the knife.

>>3083472
They're on sale, I just saw.

>>3085621
RE4 has a stronger knife (although that's not retro). Hell, one of the bosses actually has a "secret" weakness to the knife.

>>3084343
>are you playing jill or Chris?

This was a couple years ago, I think I was playing Jill as she's supposed to be easier?
I'm definitely keen to replay the game though.

>>3085640
Got some numbers on the RE4 knife?

>>3085814
If the starting handgun does 1.0 damage, the knife does 1.4. Against Krauser, it does more damage than a Magnum (50.0).

>>3083505
HD version is largely as blurry as it was before. They just upscaled and filtered the backgrounds and it shows. Showing the models in HD and the backgrounds as upscaled kinda makes them blend worse than they used to.

RE0 HD did good with the newly re-rendered backgrounds, too bad that one is kinda a dud RE-wise.

>>3085873
>too bad that one is kinda a dud RE-wise.
It's a classic style RE with similar presentation to REmake, and arguably better atmosphere.

I'll give you that the story is one of the weakest in the series, and the no item boxes is bullshit, but why do people hate 0 so much and act like it's RE6-tier

>>3085941
I thought zero was fun, don't get the hate either. Played it on the Wii re release a couple years back.

>>3085959
the HD version is easily one of the best looking games I've ever seen too (apart from the cutscenes)

>>3085970
Haha, yeah it's always so jarring seeing old remastered games play super low res cut scenes.
I'll pick it up on steam when it's next on sale

>>3086072
It's on sale now

>>3083167
REmake is one of my favorite games of all time. Still corny dialogue and voice acting, but not nearly as bad as the original. It looks incredible too which makes the atmosphere feel dense, and there are improved game mechanics to add to the tension. If you have any appreciation for the horror genre, and especially if you're a fan of the original, I'd highly recommend playing it.

>>3086094
I'm tempted, but I know I won't have a chance to play it for a couple months at least, so I'll wait until then

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

/thread

I'm stuck in the police station in RE2 64.

Playing the dude. Got the red jewel. Killed the licker. Not sure what next.

>>3083410
>Resident Evil 1.5 was it's true sequel and where the series should have ended as originally planned.

All the footage that came out from that made it look like RE3, aka, a fucking action game using the RE camera and controls.

>>3086219
Get the other jewel. It's pretty linear, all doors are pretty much locked until you get the right key, so it's just going around and finding the next item you need to proceed.

>>3086258
I got both jewels.
"It's too dangerous to go back outside" so I have t stay in the police station longer?

>>3086258
I need the unicorn medallion. Can't find it.

I searched the desk a bunch of times and got the film.

>>3086289
Go explore the STARS office on the second floor

>>3086219
>>3086261
>>3086289
Jesus Christ, seriously? It's 2016 and you can't beat Resident Evil 2? Go watch a youtube walk though you unimaginable casual faggot.

Holy shit.

>>3086301
pretty rude 2bh

>>3086304
I didn't notice the middle area with the desks. I found the medallion now. It's all good.

How many save ribbons are there? I'm playing blind for the first time.

>>3086340
Like around 25-30 or something. I usually save like 10-15 times and still have 15-20 left over. Use them as you need, there are tons.

RE1 and 2 scared the piss out of me when I first played them was only like 9 or 10 years old and they were my first time seeing a survival horror game.

>>3086359
>tfw I didn't play them until a few weeks ago and they weren't scary at all

I still had a lot of fun however. I don't really like being scared so maybe it was better this way.

>>3086301

Stop being an asshole. Some of us actually like helping others instead of just telling them to read or watch a walkthrough.

>>3086340

I'm not exactly sure but you should be fine. Only the first game had a really limited amount.

>>3083167
RE4 is the greatest console game of all time.

No debate.

Caught magic in a bottle.

>>3086489
If I liked 4 should I get 5? It doesn't look particularly appealing but it's on sale this week. I'd be doing it single player and I heard the partner AI is bad.

>>3086563
No, it's crap imo. Average shooter at best, no resident evil vibe at all. Some enjoyed it I guess, but don't expect it to be anything like 4. 4 was the last real RE game.

Love Resident Evil, one of the first video games I played. Scared the shit out of me but man did I laugh when I got to a cutscene.

The REmake is legit, best way a remake of a video game has been handled. You'll be in familar territory but things get shaken up and tweaked just enough to where you'll be caught off guard.

>>3086585

>4 was the last real RE game.

4 is one of my favorite video games, but it's sure as hell not a "real RE game"

>>3086621
Don't be a faggot hipster. It's a tweener at worst but the last maineline RE with that original RE feeling and many OG play elements.

It's not its fault 5 misinterpreted what everyone liked about 4 so much and fucked everything up.

The original Gamecube release was a monster of a game for the time, all time classic.

>>3086645

How am I being a hipster? It has little to nothing to do with the other games and plays nothing like it. It's a great game, but it could be called anything else and we'd never suspect it was supposed to be an RE game.

Had great times playing the series. Didn't really know anyone else who knew about it back then so it became very sentimental.
Wish I could experience the first zombie encounter or better yet the first hunter encounter. Definitely some good times.

Also, yes, play REmake it's a lot of fun. It's not campy like the original but still good. Go into it blind if you can.

>>3086652
So, explain your stance logically... do you think RE4 should have had pseudo-3D 2D environments and tank controls?

>or does RE4 represent the most REish 3D game we'll ever have

I don't have time to go through the list, but to say 4 didn't carry over a ton of elements from 1-3 is simply very incorrect. You're simply confusing the reality of 3D vs 1-3s painfully time had passed 2D tank controlled parameters.

If you e.g. took 1-3 and remade it exactly as a 3D game... It just wouldn't work. The changes in 4 were necessary and nearly perfect.

>>3086652
Reminds me of something I said once. "In an alternate universe, DmC was released under a new name and IP, and all the magazines said "Move over, Devil May Cry"".

I feel like the last guy on earth who didn't enjoy 4 all that much. it wasn't bad, it just sucked imo compared to the 1st 3 cause it changed so much.

also not retro, unless gamecube and ps2 are retro now. same with code veronica.

>>3086682
>didnt enjoy RE4

>policing a chineese anime retro video game thread for people mentioning a game that came out in 2003 that directly relates to the thread

Classic /vr/

>>3086585
No, 4 is the least resident evil in the series (Giant stone statue chasing you? weird midget who looks old?) where as 5 finally shows us why Wesker is how he is, it expands upon umbrella's end and origins, it made the plagas feel relevant instead of completely out of place, it does an unbelievably great job at tying together all the loose plot threads for Chris, Jill, and wesker, it takes us to africa and ergo ties in dead aim. Plus the stuff with Spencer is great too.

What more did you want from an RE5? it basicaly fixed the series, just a shame that since then, all they've done is make more RE4's, as in, bullshit standalone stories which don't progress the plot, and have basically put us back to where we werre before re5, but worse. I can't see how they'll come back from this..

>>3086682
>code veronica.
a dreamcast game, which the board states is clearly retro you fucking fuck.

>>3086692
here is you're reply

this site is fucking dying. for real this time not just melodramatically like when moot fucked off.

>>3086682
I liked it at the beginning. The village is kind of cool. After that you get in the castle with the gigant statue shit went too far for me. Sure, the main villain is ridiculous, worst than the twins in CV, but they weren't THIS bad. Plus the only scary part in the game was the maze with the dogs and it's too easy.

>>3086682
You're not the only one. It's my least favourite in the series. I can see why it has mass appeal I guess but yeah, not a fan.

>>3086695
Master bait, senpai.

>>3086717
My bad, ORC is my least favourite, but I don't even count that. At least 6 is fun to play, the story is also garbage, but the controls are tight. RE4 feels more dated than even the older games

>>3086621
>"real RE game"
What is a REAL RE?
A game who is a carbon copy of the first RE?
or
A "survival" game?
Because in this case, only REmake and RE 0 are survival, even the first RE is easy as fuck, even CV.
An "horror" game?
Pffff, then RE4, 5 and 6 are more horror than RE3.
Stop with this meme, a series cannot be the same game over and over.

Maybe you should pay some of those titles instead of getting all your information from /v/. None of your examples support your argument.

>>3086841
All the uncharted titles, sports franchises and CoD titles are as similar as the RE1, 2, 3, CVX, OB etc

>>3086841
Maybe you should play some RE

>>3086675

>So, explain your stance logically... do you think RE4 should have had pseudo-3D 2D environments and tank controls?

Why are you so offended? I said I like the game a lot, it's one of my favorite games. "It's not like other Resident Evil games" isn't an insult.

The older RE games were about undead zombies and focused on puzzle solving and item collecting. They were survival horror games. RE4 used basically human enemies and was mainly about killing hordes of them while walking forward towards the end of the game. It's even divided into chapters that recorded and display your number of kills.

All I'm saying is if you called the game "Battle Zone: Madrid" we'd never suspect it was supposed to be Resident Evil.

Also, fuck you for implying the older RE games are bad. I hope RE2 gets remade like RE1 did, controls and all.

>>3086863
You're only right on the sports titles but completely and utterly wrong on the others.

>>3086745

>What is a REAL RE?
>A game who is a carbon copy of the first RE?

Or atleast basically similar to the first. I don't get the mentality of people who want the sequel to a game they like to be nothing like the previous one.

I'm waiting for the game that plays and looks like RE 1, but has over the shoulder gun aiming.

>my feel when post deleted

RE4 a shit, my opinion.

>>3086695
I didn't think of it like this. I guess if you're invested in the plot....

>>3087332
Shut the fuck up retard, if you're not interested in resident evil then get out of the fucking thread

Ah, Resident Evil. The game I was too chickenshit to play as a kid.

It might be because it got me early but I loved the premise. Zombies, mutants.

I especially like Chris and Jill, even though they aren't the most developed characters. I do like that as the series went on Chris became increasingly unhinged but still determined.

Anyone here actually played RE1 without knowing it was a game with zombies? The game doesn't really spoil it, so unless you heard word of mouth or read a review, you wouldn't know back in the day. There are no screenshots of the monsters on the cover or back cover, and the manual also doesn't specify at any point what you should expect in the mansion. I think it's a pretty nice touch, for a series that later became pretty much THE zombies game.

>>3087481
Me. You and I are probably in that minority. I remember renting it from blockbuster when it came out, after seeing screenshots in gamefan and thinking it was a game about supernatural monsters due to shots of the hunter, chimera and yawn and of course zombies (this was way back before the trope of zomebies=biological outbreak).

It was a nice touch

>>3087491
>>3087481
I knew there was zombies, but the giant spiders and shit made me think it was supernatural, never expected to find a lab under there

>>3087481
>>3087491
>>3087493

I think that RE is an example of a title that was better localized.

Biohazard spoils the entire game. With Resident Evil, you don't know what's causing it. While finding a discreet laboratory 200 feet underground has become a trope of the series, it was a surprise in RE1, finding a lab under the mansion.

>>3087508
>Biohazard
Ehh, I wouldn't have known what that meant as a kid anyway

>>3087515
Neither would have the Japanese, probably.

>>3087536
so it wouldn't have spoiled it?

>>3087536
>>3087539
The Japanese manual have the definition on the back cover though.

>like she still does today, because you're an autistic manchild fuckwit?
Nah, she only pays for my gas money now so I can drive over to your mom's house every night :)

I still can't claim to actually LIKE the first Resident Evil, even though it's arguably one of my favourite series and probably one of those things that played a huge role in shaping me as I grew up.

It's just way too slow, spartan, and wooden. All the elements are there, but it never really sucks you in the same way 2 did- It's a puzzle game with added zombies, really, it only manages to keep the horror vibe up for the first couple of hours, and then you realise it's just going to be another two hours of backtracking and inventory management.

That first time you meet a licker in RE2 though... I can still remember how pants shittingly terrified I was watching the FMV. I was playing it one morning before school in my pyjamas and I remember shaking while I tried to eat my cereal. Fuck knows why my parents allowed me to play that shit.

>>3087702
>Not being fucking horrified at the thought the hunters could decapitate you at ANY time
Only when you're low on health.

>>3087762
Hunters can decapitate you in "Fine" status senpai

>>3087775
For real? I thought it was just caution and below.

I should keep an eye out for that the next time I play.

>>3087781
It's an oversight with the health system, the percentages don't match the 'caution' 'fine' 'danger' segments correctly, so you can get your head cut off on fine, if you're not on full fine, so if you take a tiny hit, or you were hurt then used health, then they can get you.

>implying RE4 changed movement from the "tank" games

It seriously has the same fucking movement controls. It just moved the camera over your shoulder.

>>3088638
They really should've allowed you to move at shoot. At least back up and shoot if nothing else. It's like they wanted to make an action game but didn't understand the action part of it so they kept the slow controls. You adapt, but it doesn't feel natural. Anyone in that situation would be way more mobile.

>>3088737
I thought you could, wasn't movement done with one stick and aiming done with the other when you had the gun out?

>>3088638
>>3088737

Lol at this shit throughout this thread.

This place is wall to wall reddit know nothing casuals now.

>but but RE4 is too differnet from the previous

>but but it should've been more modern

I swear to god.

The 2D pseudo 3D style was outdated as hell by the time 4 was being planned.

They kept the tank controls to be true to its roots. Obviously the game was going to be easier shooting-wise after moving on from the originals awkward view and controls into a 3D world. Hence they added more enemies and had to tweak other aspects.

NOT BEING ABLE TO RUN AND SHOOT WAS AN INHERENT PART OF THE GAME AND WAS BUILT AROUND IT PERFECTLY. IT MADE IT TENSE AND YOU HAD TO BE STRATEGIC IN YOUR ACTIONS AND USE OF WEAPONS.

IT WAS NOT A REMAKE OF AN OUTDATED STYLE AND IT WAS NOT A RUN OF THE MILL ACTION GAME LIKE THE SERIES TENEDED TO TREND TOWARDS LATER IN THE SERIES.

It was done exactly right and is why many consider it the last legit RE game and why many hold it above Ocarina and others as the GOAT.

You contrarian fedora douche bags.

>>3088638
The way you aimed and interacted with the enviromnt was COMPLETELY different moving from 2D to 3D.

You might as well say Mario RPG and Mario 64 had the same basic controls.

>>3086563
No, 5 tries to top 4 but fails terribly in every way, it really doesn't have any of what made 4 great.

>>3086675
Faggot.

>>3087329
I'd like that. As much as I love 4, it has nothing of the atmosphere or exploring from the older titles.

>>3087446
>that wouldn't work
No reason it can't, the gameplay would just be slightly different.
You'd aim and steer like in 4, and you'd have a camera over the shoulder, but you have to explore and find your way around, solving puzzles, like in the old games.
Monsters can be more vicious to make up for you being easier to move, zombies can become redheads if not killed right.
Since you don't see the entire room, enemies can hide outside of your view.

Inventory can be classic style, with a special item in a side slot for each character, knife is a quick button now instead of an inventory item, and there should be an option to unload a weapon for a simple convenience.

>>3088929
RE4 has some of the best atmosphere of any game ever. You are a faggot.

>>3088971
I love RE4s atmosphere, but it's decidedly different from the previous games.

1 & 2 are more like creepy mysteries, while 4 is like an action adventure with horror tones.

What I'm saying is that a game styled like the old one's slower puzzles, exploring and mystery solving, with their atmosphere, but with the controls, camera and aiming from 4 would be a really cool game.

I'd want something both kinds of games had, and respectively lacked.

Faggot.

Gonna start Jill's scenario on the original PS1 game tonight, any tip?

>>3088871
I'm not saying it didn't change how you interact with the environment, just that the control scheme is the same.

>>3088843

>outdated style

You keep saying this but you're not really talking about a style so much as a genre. You're treating the older games like you expected them to be shooters, and in that way they don't work as well as RE4. They aren't shooters though, and they work great for the type of game they are.

>>3088745
You could move or you could shoot. Once you pulled the gun out your feet were nailed in place.

>>3089295
Don't bother killing all the zombors, they just get replaced halfway through the game anyway

Save your grenades for the zombor replacements

>>3088843

>Obviously the game was going to be easier shooting-wise after moving on from the originals awkward view and controls into a 3D world. Hence they added more enemies and had to tweak other aspects.

The logical solution wouldn't be more enemies, it'd be less ammunition. RE4 gave you lots of ammo, enemies even dropped ammo when you kill them, and even the weakest guns had the ability to stun so you could perform roundhouse kicks on a crowd or suplex an enemy.

>>3088843
There are plenty of games that kept the action tense without turning your character into a paraplegic. Either adjust your enemy AI to be better or like >>3089567 said keep ammo low to focus more on avoidance and evasion. But they set RE4 up in such a way you HAD to clear each room to move onto the next in many cases. They wrote themselves into a corner with that one, so they had to dump loads of ammo on you so you couldn't get stuck. But keeping tank controls in a fully 3D world with fast enemies wasn't the way to build tension. It just came off as clunky and badly thought out. The least they could've done if they insisted on paralyzing Leon would be to give him a dodge command like RE3 had.

It was a pre-release cover for magazines and store catalogs and such.

love love love the orignal resi trilogy (and CV, & 4). im actually playing umbrella chronicles at the moment, which whilst fairly repetitive, its quite cool the watch the events from a new perspective (Even if they do fuck with the storylines massively.) I do also enjoy going through the mansion in first person mode. (they did a good job of recreating it).

i find with the original three, it is very hard to rank them. they are all different, but equally as good.
if i had the choose at gunpoint though, it'd be no.1. i think they absolutely nailed the atmosphere, it is pretty challenging, and the first time i played it (pre-2000), seemed very lengthy and a great journey. i love how there are tiny little things you wont realize the first time such as small cutscenes you can unlock, different cutscenes through the various routes you take. i could go on and on. one of the best games ever made. this was a pretty crappy post but whatever.

anyone ever notice how the FMV that plays when u try to open the front doors of the mansion shows you closing the door straight through the dogs head.

>an RE thread without NESfag

Life is good.

>>3089969
same poster. just wanted to add, whenever people here reach the end of resi 3, do you have a massive surplus of ammo. its by far the easiest of the 3, but its kindve ridiculous. i aways finish with so many magnum and grenade rounds, i end up just wasting them on zombies near the end for the hellf of it. satisfying as hell though, blowing up there heads.
also, was anyone else in awe when they discvoered you could go back to the very start and get all that gunpowder, after reaching the train. as well as the secret stash u need to use the crank on near the start. when i found out about that as a kid i was so excited haha

>>3089620
Samefag... you just need to stick to Call of Duty. Shitting on a consensus all-time great game makes you sound like an even bigger faggot than you already are.

>>3087329
If you beat Silent Hill once you unlock an over the shoulder angle. If you consider SH similar to Resident Evil, that could be an experience worth testing

>>3085832
Wait. What? Krauser is practically impervious to bullets and weak to the knife? I gotta go play that shit again.

Why does no one talk about RE Gaiden ever?

>>3093185
Because frankly, it just isn't very good. It's cool, especially given the hardware, but it isn't actually good as a game.

It does some really neat things with graphics and sound, and the music, on top of being awesome, has a kickass dynamic feature (the more enemies on screen, the more intense the music gets, and this happens seamlessly), from a design standpoint, it's gorgeous (graphics are really good, and characters will actually blend into the shadows, so you can legit be ambushed by a zombie slouching in a dark alcove), but it runs kind of poorly on original hardware, the gameplay is a pretty resounding *bleh*, and the story has some flaws.

The "Golf" slider in combat is nothing short of terrible, you can get the hang of it but it'll never feel good, items you have to pick up are invisible, the game will simply tell you if you're standing on/at an item, which is incredibly tedious, it's like every other item is hidden from you and you have to go on a blind scavenger hunt constantly, with the exception that the game will tell you if one of the nearby monsters are holding something (which may or may not be important). The plot isn't actually too shoddy from the get go, you get to play as Barry, which kicks ass, but the ending just shits on you.

I think that if someone did an extensive romhack of it, or took it's assets to remake the game from the ground up (this is for emulators of course), you could be looking at a really good game.

>>3092382
Weak is an understatement, the knife just annihilates him, even in the last fight.

>>3093185
Because we've had the conversation a hundred times and it usually goes the same every time.

Although to humor you, I'll point out that the game is interesting if you try and do things out of sequence, although it reveals one of the major failings of the game in that items seemingly pop up at random based on story progression. For example, the grenade launcher. If you head to the room where you find it immediately, it isn't there. It doesn't show up until after a few story scenes, and there's no explanation as to why. Its not like a crate gets knocked over or anything. There isn't an item there, and suddenly there is.

The twist ending is also particularly weak.

>>3089980
I usually have a huge surplus if I am running away from Nemesis on every encounter.

If I decide to down him I end up with next to no ammo until I get the Assault Rifle, and then I dont usually pick up ammo (Though must runs I i will just down him 5 times for the parts)

>>3093771
>Spent like 20mins trying to decipher the portrait puzzle
Eh? Only way that could happen is if you outright ignored the text that said who was who.

Also you're meant to kill Tyrant at that point.

>>3093795
>From the memo I gathered it went:
Woman>Guy with Twins>Single Guy (All teacups, also pretty obvious)
>Then I assumed it went:
Plate (because it was smashed) > Candlestick (because it was there) > Vase (Because its what was handed down to the subject of the letter)>Alfred

Apparently my logic sucked because I brute forced the 2nd half, and then when I googled the solution I feel like it followed my line of reasoning with different logic.

Made me feel like a fucking retard thats for sure.

Here is the actual solution from GameFAQs
>The memo tells you the first 3 buttons to press in this order
The woman>The man holding twins>The man with the teacup

>This is where it gets tricky and you have to use your surroundings to figure it out.
The man with the earthenware plate>The man with the earthenware vase
*The trick was to notice the candle was relatively new and not broken so it should be pushed last

>Finally
The man with the candle>Last is young Alfred

>>3093643
Oh, this too, items will only appear when the plot calls for it. And not just plot items or keys either.

If you reach some areas too early, the game simply won't spawn any items at all, not even enemies, until you pass a certain point in the story, in which case the area will instantly fill up, despite having been barren a minute ago, as if the zombies were all hiding until the time was right.

It's really ambitious, but falls flat.
If the game had been shelved and later reworked to be put on the GBA, it could maybe have made use of the stronger hardware, larger storage, and extra buttobs, to make a game that plays much better (though on a sidenote, the unique visuals would probably change a lot with better graphics being available, which I'd have mixed feelings about.

There was also an unfinished port of the first game to the GBC, and while it was about 80% done, I can't imagine it would have been much better than playing RE2 on the Game.com

>>3093815
Ah, I see your logic.

>>3093823
Yeah, its a great puzzle, I just made a shitty assumption in that
1. The letter was written for the current butler
2. The butler would have ANYTHING to do with family succession.

I am guessing they intended you to use the context clue that the candlestick would be last since it is still preserved AND the man in the picture is the only one who looked remotely like Alfred. After that you can figure out where the vase goes by omission.

I wish more puzzles in the game were that good. Sure I didn't really solve it myself, but at least it was better than "remember where things go".

I heard Silent Hill has some really great puzzles, and thats next in my Survival Horror catchup

I hope spoilers work on /vr/ because I dont remember

>>3093842
Also I just realized that the memo was to the MASTER, not a the Butler (Why the fuck did I think that)

No wonder I was confused.

Fuck this Tyrant fight on the plane, I miss Nemesis

>>3093914
The trick is to smack him with the crate when he starts bleeding on the floor.

If I recall, he actually takes damage over time automatically.

>>3093927
I figured it out. Took me more tries than probably every other boss in 0-3 though, probably because I used my Explosive Arrows on Tyrant 1. I just couldn't fucking dodge his shit. I'd pull off a few dodges, then get knocked into a wall and take a slash before I could even turn to escape.

Ended up realizing that it wasn't my blood and assumed I could end him

RIP my HP items and ammo. Used all my Acid/Fire/BOW rounds before I realized he could die. At least there is a fucking truckload of handgun ammo at the new area.

>>3093771
Not saving is all on you, I don't know why you wouldn't. But you were actually only half to maybe 2/3 of the way through the game if that makes you feel better.

>>3093819
>There was also an unfinished port of the first game to the GBC, and while it was about 80% done, I can't imagine it would have been much better than playing RE2 on the Game.com

My wife actually got me a repro of that for my birthday, and having played the Game.com version of RE2, I can safely say it is much better. I mean its still an unfinished game, but it at least looks like Resident Evil, as opposed to the Game.com's near Tiger-hand held levels of terrible.

>>3094362
What would you say is better, Gaiden or the unfinished GBC port?

>Be that guy playing Code Veronica for the first time

>BOW room is filled with gas (Grabbed the mask)

It makes me want to scream. I swear I have tapped square on every fucking section of every room.

Literally my first time stuck in my 1-3+CV first time playthrough.

Someone people give me a hint while spoiling as little as possible

Please

>>3100031

There's a way to refill the extinguisher but you need to be playing as Chris.
