So who was scarier for you /vr/, this asshole?

[Anonymous No.700783]

Or this asshole?

[NESfag No.700848]

I played RE3 before RE2 so I have to say Nemesis. Plus he's actually faster, stronger and tougher, and his later forms are more impressive.

I always thought Nemesis was just an annoyance. Never really found him THAT scary.

Mr X really fucked with my nerves though. Especially during that elevator part near the end of the game...

[Anonymous No.700885]

Mr X. Nemesis showed up so often, it became predictable and he was more of an an annoyance than "holy shit! I have to run!"

[Anonymous No.701393]

Nemesis,
he was faster, harder to dodge, could kill you instantly at yellow caution, and was sometimes armed.

[Anonymous No.701432]

Nemesis is hands down the best tyrant in RE, he would've been completely impossible to kill without the laser generator.

That and the fact that he's almost faster than you are and he chases you throughout the entire game.

He sounds awesome also.

Oh god all of that.

Mr. X didn't need any fancy gimmicks like speed or a rocket launcher to scare the player, all he needed was a tight corridor and slow walk.

[Legion of Anon No.702038]

In my honest opinion OP, this is like asking which is tastier, crinkle cut or steak cut fries.

Mr. X had that slow, methodical, "I'm an un-fucking-stoppable juggernaut about to pound you into a stain on the carpet" aura about him.

Nemesis had the whole Predator feel...you KNEW he was hunting you, and you had to wonder if this time he was going to be carrying a rocket launcher.

Both scary(or 'jumpy') in their own fashion. Too bad they dropped the concept...that could have had real potential in the later REs(if it weren't for the other issues...but that's neither here nor there).

[Anonymous No.702058]

Nemesis was scarier at first but by the end of the game you'd encountered so much he just felt like another enemy.

[Anonymous No.702076]

Something that Nemesis had over Mr X was different event triggers.

When me and a friend played this game a second time, over-confident, we ended up shitting ourselves and closing the game immediately because a different set of events was happening.

[Anonymous No.702080]

william birkin > nemesis > mr x

[Anonymous No.702090]

Really, Nemesis was a viable threat - you always knew you were in trouble when his theme started to trickle in from the background. Mr. X, on the other hand, would barely rise above being a nuisance. He was very easy to dodge and couldn't follow you between rooms. Capcom probably learned from their mistakes, and that's how we got the Nemesis from RE3.

[Legion of Anon No.702134]

You make an excellent point, but Mr. X was still scary. The aforementioned crashing through walls(TWICE IN A ROW!), and in Claire's A scenario, having him hop up and over the THIRD STORY BALCONY in the RCPD. Seriously, I can't be the only one who didn't see that coming.

As you said, Nemesis was a threat...but Mr. X was no less scary because he was a non-threat.

[Anonymous No.702769]

Mr. X is scarier in terms of presentation.

Nemesis is scarier in terms of actual gameplay threat.

>mfw 2 Rocket Launcher holding Nemesises in the same narrow back-alley in the Mercenaries mod and I make them shoot each other by dodging their rockets

Who the fuck is Mr. X?

And RE3's engine didn't work well with tough enemies like this, so it was just clunky, not scary. It was like Tyrant Fight: The Game.

[Anonymous No.703927]

>>703902
Resident Evil 2 is Mr X.

If you've played it, you'd know this at least.

[Anonymous No.703994]

>>703927
I've played both scenarios of both characters, and I'd never heard T-103 be called Mr X since today. Must be an American thing.

[Anonymous No.703998]

Mr. X. Because it was so cool when he'd come for you and you'd be like "argh fuck" but iwht Nemesis you knew what to expect plus he was so fast that in the end all you did was hit him with rocket launcher and heal, almost impossible to dodge.

[Anonymous No.704006]

*until today

[Anonymous No.704010]

>>703927
I've beaten it, and I don't even remember the fucker.

Honest, I still can't remember him.

[NESfag No.704068]

>>704010
In this case you've only cleared the "A" scenario and not the "B" scenario which is unlocked after beating A.

B is pretty much like A but through the eyes of the other character (if you've played with Leon A and Claire B and vice versa) but with some extra scenes and enemies.

Basically it's a system to make the players believe there is more content with almost the exact same things. Scenario B is the real deal with the real end boss and ending too, you're missing out if you haven't played it.

also it's called T-103 in the game but Mr. X in the manual IIRC

More like Résiden (no T pronounced) évile... Frenchness incarnate. Also, Metal jear solid and game jear

[Anonymous No.704360]

Mr.X was scarier to me because you were Claire Redfield a hot little 20 something with no fighting experience, not Jill Valentine. Claire was in over her head more than Jill was.

I love Nemesis too but Mr.X scared me more. The way he was always lurking in the police station was just eerie.

[Anonymous No.704656]

>>701458
Not to mention it was a pre-rendered wall. Up to that point my gamer mind was thinking that happening as a zero possibility. I almost had a heart attack.

[Anonymous No.704690]

>>704353
>>704357
This is another reason why I love French people.

I'd pick Mr. X. I remember the first time he broke through the wall when I was playing and it felt like I'd jumped a thousand feet into the air.

[Rubbish Soldier No.705309]

I always found Mr. X more intimidating mainly because up until he emerged from the vat of lava, he never spoke/made any noise outside of his loud step. Granted all of his appearances are predetermined whereas Nemesis could pop up at anytime to fuck you up.
