Finally beating Nikolai Mercs is the standiout memory for me. I had a lot of fun with this game, playing it over and over for those epilogues.

Unlocking a lever shotgun that Jill reloads by twirling, like Arnold does in T2 in the motorcycle chase, fucking ruled and I was enamored with it. It's called Western Custom M37, is faster and stronger than the regular shotgun but holds 1 less shell and can't use Enhanced Ammo. You have to kill Nemmy 5 times on hard mode to get it. The regular shotgun is slow enough that it can get you hit against Nemesis, so a faster one makes a great difference.

Speaking of ammo, I found it a revelation that AMMO LEVELS UP. When you mix and create ammo, every time 'trains' you at making it and you start making more and more of it. Eventually you can make Enhanced handgun and shotgun ammo, or keep making larger amounts of regular. Enhanced is super strong so that you can keep using default pistol/shotty after unlocking the Eagle and Western in a kind of power:speed tradeoff without being strictly outclassed, but overall the upgraded weapons are better than Enhanced Ammo benefit.

It trains per use, not by amount, so it creates a lot of strategy. You get more ammo immediately by using double and triple mixes (AAA > AA+A > A+A+A) but if you mix them singly, you level your ammo creation 3 times. So you could mix B, B, B, B, etc for your early game, then mix BBBs lategame to cash in huge amounts of ammo! But maybe you need some extra shots now... so it's complex.

first time I played 3 I somehow managed to get to the final lab without dying once(this was right after going through 1 and 2 so I wasn't going at it completely fresh). I hadn't thought of it being a run a up until then but after I was really pulling hard to complete it. Scrambling to figure out the rail gun puzzle and then finishing nemmy off with the magnum first try has to be my top gaming moment.

No, pretty sure it was the save room. I was already in my 20s so its not a false memory either.
I distinctly remember freaking out because at the time I was suffering from a pretty bad nervous breakdown (life aint pretty) and I recall running to the save room to hide.
I still have the cracked iso with that cracktro, guess I could upload it for people to test.

>> No.8976226

>>8976210
In order for monsters to appear in a room, there needs to be their texture data affiliated to the room, in other words any room that can potentially have Nemesis in it needs his texture data AND the briefcase texture.

Room117, the save room in the police station, is empty and doesn't have any texture data. I'm not sure that modders even know how to ADD enemies data in empty rooms these days, instead of just replacing existing ones, as you might need to add non existent code to do that.

It's not possible anon, or it would be quite a feat.

A friend of given me this game when we were 12 because he was too scared to play it.

I had already played and beaten RE1 one or two years prior so I was thrilled, but the game was filtering me.

Next thing I know came the summer holiday and I went on vacation with my parents to one of their friends houses, which had a TV in it.
I decided to bring the playstation and only one game, RE3, it was time to tear this game a new asshole.

For two weeks, every time I had some free time which happened a lot, I played nothing but RE3, I beat it for the first time and proceeded to unlock all epilogues and costumes, every weapon in the Mercenaries; and finally to beat the game as fast as possible without saving coming up with the best route. Great times.

When we got back home I bought RE2, it wasn't as good but still tons of fun. I kinda repeated the same process with RE2 on another vacation when I spent time with just a laptop at my grandparents home; RE and summer vacations was a tradition for me as I had also spent a lot time playing RE1 when I got it a previous summer and a friend of my brother had lended us his Saturn and the game.

I've been playing it since 2001, gotten A rank no saves multiple times and there were a couple of cutscenes I've never seen until recently, as well as the tumble dodge animation where you come out shooting. For some fucking reason I never got that one by accident. Loved it.
Killing all Nemesis + Jill's Diary is a run everyone should do. It's very fun and you get the most out of the game.

Not him but those branched paths that lead to new item/enemy configurations and cutscenes REALLY amp up the replayability. It's a travesty that capcom dropped this in future games.

3 has more of everything, more enemy types, more zombie types, more puzzles, more weapons and ammo types, better bosses, more different type of environments, etc and as another anon pointed out, it's highly replayable due to all that and all the different things that can happen in a playthrough versus the static scenario system of RE2, in which the A scenarios just feel like a waste of time as on a player's perspective they're just gimped versions of the B scenarios. Almost like Double Dragon 2 on NES where if you play on Normal the game stops before the final stage(s) and tells you "sorry you gotta do it all again on hard!"

Personally I’ve always felt that the ammo crafting mechanic felt a bit out of place in a Resident Evil game. RE3 is obviously more action oriented though, so I kind of put it in the Dino Crisis camp.

I have a hard time taking this picture too seriously. If people really thought the old inventory was better, you would see more people praising RE5 for bringing it back with only 9 slots(18 with both characters). Instead people praise RE4 and shit all over RE5.

>> No.8978437

>>8978401
It's honestly such bullshit that a size- and position-based case is viewed as LESS survivaly despite being more realistic, just because RE4's was fairly huge. It was the size that made it unrestrictive, nothing else about it.
