Resident Evil - Virgin Vampire Wine Mom vs Chad Magnetic Lebowski

[Psyduck]

I'm just sick of Chris being in every fucking game anymore.

Well of course YOU'D say that...

I've been playing through the series after finally getting around to it. I've heard people say RE0 is shit. Is it worth playing?

There's a very unintuitive inventory management system, something that's been solved since the first game, for the sake of "realism", basically, you can freely swap between two characters, and you can drop items in a room for the other to pick up, but you can only drop so many items in one room, so you'll be making a lot of otherwise unnecessary trips back and forth the same rooms over and over just to grab the items you want.

What retard at Capcom thought getting rid of item boxes was a good idea?

I kind of wished there was an animated anthology series set in the RE universe where we could see some stories set before, during and after the games. Maybe we see some of the scientists and their struggle in the Spencer Mansion, some survivors during the R.C incident and some BOW incidents as Im sure might have happened between entries.

A concept I had involved high school kids getting accidentally infected with a BOW virus and seemingly gaining powers from it. But slowly it begins to corrupt them as some of them abuse these abilities and one of them realizes that they are on borrowed time until they horrifically transform into a destructive beast

But GOG isn't Capcom putting it out. They're just licensing it to them to distribute it and I'm sure it was GOG going to them and not the other way around.

Capcom refuses to put their old stuff on anything where as SNK has their entire library on every console. They've only started to breadcrumb anything out.

Yeah, if this was Capcom's idea, this would have been on Steam, GOG and consoles but its just GOG, meaning this was really a result of (Im sure constant) insistance until Capcom reluctantly caved in

See, this is something I've always wondered about. Let's say they somehow did manage to seal off Racoon City, how were they going to handle the Arklay Mountains?

Thats just something the series just doesnt address. Its stated the nuke did destroy a portion of the mountain's forest so I can only assume that the infected animals were conveniently in that affected zone.

The same one that thought co-op and AI partners in fucking classic RE was a good idea.

Probably some brain fart that existed in the prototype build that for whatever reason carried over. I could take the no box thing if other item management wasn't so fucking tedious.

Remove the item limit per room, at least large rooms. Stop making things take up two slots.

But at the end of the day, it's still Zero which is a miserable game.

Or it's just bad writing on Capcom's part. I'm betting that.

Really, it gets much easier when you think of the series like a bunch of comic books. Nothing has any stakes, dead people can come back willy-nilly, marketable characters will get shoved in everything no matter if they're relevant to the situation (especially if they're not relevant), and the story only makes sense if you have brain damage.

Why not just play it? It's easy to pirate and you shouldn't judge a game on other peoples opinions before you try it.

How many people on here still play Resident Evil: Code Veronica? I still don’t think it gets this much attention when compared to RE4 and (maybe) RE5.

I touch it every now and again. It's far better than what it's made out to be. Far better than Zero. But it's not without it's flaws.

Didnt play much, tho thats thanks to the lack of easy access to that game, I really dont feel like setting up emulators to play a single game and I very much would prefer GOG pulled it through in porting that one as well.

However, from the little I played and watched, its fine, flawed but fine. It really feels like part of the series's growing pains but I dont think its as bad as some make it out to be and, plotwise, it is legit pretty good as it expands on Umbrella's backstory and it concludes Claire's search quest for Chris that started in RE2. Without mention that it is the entry that brought Wesker back as this ubermench mastermind that we have come to love.

I would unironically welcome a properly done remake of it, key word being properly done. Tho you can forget Capcom ever having William Ashford still be a cross dressing schizo for very obvious current year reasons.

CVX is on all modern systems currently. All the PS1 shit isn't. Although RE1 is but it's only available to stream I believe and it's behind gay PS+.

A fair point, but he did ask what people thought about it and generally asking fans of a series if a specific game is worth playing is a good way to not waste one's time with the missteps of the series. I.E. Umbrella Corps or the wannabe Dead by Daylight game that came bundled with 3make.

Umbrella Corps is still worth playing even if it's bad. There is some fun to be had with it if you can find a copy

Yes. Once you’ve played it firsthand, you’ll find that badmouthing Zero never seems to get old. Try not to pay for it though.

There's a very unintuitive inventory management system, something that's been solved since the first game, for the sake of "realism", basically, you can freely swap between two characters, and you can drop items in a room for the other to pick up, but you can only drop so many items in one room, so you'll be making a lot of otherwise unnecessary trips back and forth the same rooms over and over just to grab the items you want.

Whoever designed this system was a cruel sadist. By the time a new player reaches the church, the game spawns Eliminators throughout the training facility to punish them for daring to backtrack for the hook shot.

The inventory system makes more sense on subsequent replays since optimized pathfinding, foreknowledge of necessary items, and the realization that you likely won’t need every single item you’ve hoarded helps to smooth things out. This, however, implies that Zero is worth playing more than once, which it is not.

People in the "community" around the series find it odd when I say this but I honestly think it's my favorite RE game, with Outbreak a close second. I play through it every couple years so it's not purely rose tinted glasses although there probably is a smidge of that since playing through it with my dad was kind of a "core memory" I guess. Something about the over the top characters just fits even though Steve is an annoying little shit. Plus it's got Richard Waugh as Wesker and IMO he nailed it. Redditors whine about it being way too hard so that's another mark in its favor for me. I played through it when I was like 8 or 9 years old, what the fuck are they complaining about?

Of course I guess Zero also had Richard Waugh-voiced Wesker and the inventory system made me give up on that about halfway through. It started feeling more like a chore at a certain point.

CVX is the one in the originals that I always seem to think about because I never really played it as a kid, only occasionally at a mates place. I got it for myself on the PS2 way after I'd stopped playing the PS1 RE games, and to me it feels like it has this mystique to it. I can't quite explain it. It feels bigger than it really is, probably due to the length and while it's clunky, I can see that diamond poking out of the dirt. I wish it had more unlockables and mini games. The fact they didn't add any more with X is a crime.

To me, I think that fact that you don't get to wander around that forest area, even just a part of it, is a missed opportunity to me.

Also, you can't freely move up and down the stairs. Might seem like a little thing, but to me just felt like a huge, weird step back in design.
