Description
Claire in her Code Veronica duds. Very much a thank you piece to my friends , , , and who have been so kind and supportive of my recent batch of Resident Evil art. I know how much you guys love Code Veronica and wanted to do a bit of art from it even though it's not one of the series I'm any kind of expert in

I HAD to put the knife in there. Only game it's even vaguely useful for. GO FOR ZE KNEES.
Aw I am really glad that you like all the details I've worked in and that she has come out legit. Of the Resi's I've borrowed/owned, this is the one I know least well, but the one that you and my other friends love the most, and was really nervous doing this pic because I wanted this to be as nigh perfect as I could get to say thanks to all of you for supporting me so much!
Cool! I had been pondering on buying a 2nd hand Wii to do the 'Chronicles' games, is that the one you mean?

Aw thank you so much Sheenah! I'm glad you like it so much!
Any time! I love Claire and while I'm not very good at CVX I do love the atmosphere and continuation of the Redfield storyline, plus wanted to draw you guys the version of Claire that you love the most
You rock too!

You're welcome! ^^
While there's a nice fanbase for that game, it's still underappreciated by most, mostly because it doesn't have a number in the title (it's just silly) and probably because of the more colorful characters like Steve and Alfred. And to be honest, in terms of gameplay and all, it wasn't the best RE game either. To me, it's just a personal favourite for many reasons.
Aww thank you, you too!

^w^
Yeah, personally I like its story and its characters and that's solid enough for me to put up with the awkwardness of the gameplay. I haven't finished it yet and currently don't own a copy (I borrowed a friends for a while but got stuck in the middle of the game without any health and no save to drop back to xP) but it's one I'm keeping an eye out for in the old 2nd hand shops so I can eventually put it to rest. I think it's got a lot more character than the other later gen games do, but it has some bigger problems in terms of control and balancing.
Aw thanks, in advance I apologise as I've just managed to fudge a submission to the OldSchoolResi group, I forgot to change the folder I was submitting to, so withdrew it and tried again. Hopefully that doesn't cause any trauma

Thank yoouuu!

Aww XD haha, I really suck at Mercenaries 3D XD I didn't give it a lot of chance though. But right now I'm more interested in Revelations 2
No problem! ^^

It seems to be a marmite game to be honest (Mercs 3D) I can't get enough of it, but I know people who wouldn't pee on it to put out a fire. I'm surprised in a way you didn't stick with it, primarily as it makes Claire such a total badass. She gets the joint best melee attacks, I play almost exclusively as her with brief bursts of Hunk and Rebecca.
I'm hanging tight for the XBox 360 full version of Revs 2 (which is made easier by my XBox currently being broken), I have hovered over the PC version but PC games, especially ports, end up with some very weird hangups often. I'd rather play it in it's optimised 'made for this specific hardware' form than risk it having game-breaking problems at inopportune moments because of a rush job port or it being picky about graphics cards. After the 'this game is awesome but you asshats made it incompatible with my graphics card with the update' debacle that was Daylight.

Hmm...maybe because it's just a combat game? What I always loved about RE is the story and the slow-paced gameplay. You take that away, and you lose most of my interest even if my favourite character is in it.
My friend got it on 360 and had a lot of trouble with it, in-game dialogues not activating and lagging. Things like that. I hope it won't happen for you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I totally get what you mean. I think I like it as a stand-alone that focuses on combat, it's kind of like what Capcom were getting at with RE4 thru 6 but done properly in a bitesize way. Also it's nice (much like Revelations) as a predominantly action-gamer to play a game in the Resi universe that doesn't treat combat as a wobbly afterthought rather than part of the game. I actually prefer the combat in the Silent Hill series (aside from Origins, that can go to hell with its breaking melee weapons, lack of ammo and bullet sponge respawning enemies) to RE because while it's still quite wobbly, it's so simplistic that it doesn't get in the way of you enjoying the story quite the way some of the more crappy combat sections of RE games do. I find the moments where you realise you've buggered everything up and have to go back 6 save slots or something on RE games really disjoint the storyline for me. There were very few points in the Silent Hill games aside from Origins and some of the harder bits of Homecoming where I had to go back to the start of an area or the whole game because I'd used all my resources up by making minor misjudgements, where in a lot of the games between RE3 and RE4 I've found I've had to start over (CVX being a case in point where I've started the game a third time now and am kind of determined to eventually finish it because CLAIRE! but I'm honestly a bit fed up with the bad combat engine).
Oh really? Maybe I'll give the PC version a shot then instead? I have a relatively powerful PC so it ought to be okay. When my XBox gets back from repairs I'll see if I can download a demo and see what it's like technically.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL oh dear Origins...that game is so hard and frustrating @__@ I think I'll just watch a let's-play or something....
Hmmm yeah, I know what you mean. But you see, even though it can be very frustrating, it never stopped me from being disjointed from the story or the environment. I guess it's partly because games were like that before and I thought it was normal. I actually liked getting a place rid of enemies and just explore and try to find items. (I hated games with respawning enemies like the first Turok game, omg...so annoying @__@ )
But the CV thing...you're probably talking about the fire extinguisher? I learnt about it before playing so that kinda helped
So? What did you get in the end? (sorry about the late reply
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Answering in rough order, yeah, Origins gets a lot of love but personally it just made me feel like banging my head against a wall until I forgot it existed. I don't know if it worked better in context as a PSP game or what, but the PS2 version stunk. Very badly. I liked the characters but the gameplay was terrible.
I think after a certain amount of redoing an ENTIRE GAME the way screwing something up on an early survival horror can mean, things I thought were cool and made the game tense tend to make me angry if it's the fourth time through. Code Veronica's cons for me are mainly it's sub-RE2 collision detection (I find Claire has an enormous hitbox so I'm forever finding myself in harm's way long after I thought I'd got to safe distance) and it's context sensitive respawning. It feels really unfair to repopulate areas quite as often as it does in a game that's so tightly wrought in terms of ammo and health.
What I did was I went into an area that was full of enemies, cleared it out but then discovered I didn't need to be in there yet and I'd used all of my herbs and ammo up for that segment of game doing the wrong segment. At which point I 'put the game in the fridge' to paraphrase Friends lol.
I haven't picked it up quite yet. I'm trying to finish Aliens Colonial Marines atm, since I was in the middle of that when my 360 stacked it. I'm gonna buy the 360 version in a few weeks when I've got my gaming decks cleared a little, I have a horde of games people got me for Christmas to work through because the machine died just after, and I figure that once I've polished them off I should be able to pick it up kind of cheaper. I'm also playing through the original 3DS Revelations having beaten the 360 one just before Xmas, trying to unlock the Raid mode characters and suchlike.

Omg tell me about it....
Yeah I know what you mean....
Oh noooo! Well, the early RE games made us do those kinds of mistakes....now the games are so story-driven and on-rails that they don't allow you to fuck up like that. You're only fucked if you waste your ammo like an idiot.
(lol I like that expression!)
So...it's been a while since you wrote that last message...did you play Revelations 2 yet? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So RE Revs 2 will now be a 'once I upgrade' game because I'm planning on buying a PS4 in the next few months, and it seems a bit daft to buy a game I could get a HD next-gen version of for a current gen machine (and then have it also land in a huge gaming queue rather than be one of a couple of 'out the box' games I'm playing on a new system). The big 3 I want for it to start with are Revs 2, Until Dawn and Alien Isolation
I both do and don't like the gameplay model on the newer RE games. Like you say, it's harder to screw up properly now, but it has taken a lot of the tension and strategy out of the games. As a for instance, I just ran through an entire chapter of REIV on PS2 with no ammo, just legged it all the way through. Even on Nemesis which was probably the most forgiving of the first wave of RE games, you'd die trying to do that. Mainly I'm not into the storytelling style and the indecisive 'are we like the old game or are we a new game' wobbly gameplay in the new REs and also what I've seen of Evil Within. I just don't dig the characters, and I don't like the fact that every big confrontation is like this big difficulty spike. I hate cheesing a whole area then fighting a boss that has a one hit kill attack he spams, or suddenly a load of rocket launcher guys showing up. Plus they're basically shitty Japanese rip offs of Gears of War with Leon and Ada in them when you look at them really hard. It's like cover-shooters made by people who don't play cover-shooters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh I see! And yeah, you're totally right about that.
Until Dawn is an excellent game! I'm sure you'll love it!
Yeah.....omg, The Evil Within turned out to be such a deception for me. I didn't even buy it. I saw some gameplay and I told myself I would be so frustrated to play it. And the story doesn't interest me enough to even try, so....
(rocket launcher guys XD ughh...one of the reasons I hated that game)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah me playing Revs 2 has again gotten postponed as I didn't realise there was a newer PS4 on the way with a much bigger hard disk. I'm not getting caught with the 'New 3DS' trick again (I bought my vanilla 3DS all of two weeks before Nintendo announced the New 3DS and that it was getting exclusive games 
Aww great, looking forward to it
I probably would've dodged it anyway but yeah, the gameplay just seems so unnecessarily built around you having the tiniest amount of ammo and health available ALL the time, and I just, I can't get so much into horror games from Japan right now with the way they're all built off the Resident Evil 4 dynamic of being an action game with survival elements rather than an actual horror story.
Tbh with RE4 the only bits I REALLY hated were the dynamite trench section, the truck sniping sequence and the ****ing quicktime events. Overall I enjoyed it a lot once I got the basic hang of it, but it's a decent if bland game that's marred by overreaching it's control system with 'action-horror' segments. And every game since it that's come out of Japan has aped it's design style of having rail-shooting sections and quicktime events out the ass unfortunately. (and the bloody one-hit boss fights, I just beat Binary Domain, and that was basically cyberpunk REIV for all intents and purposes lol. Loved it, but it pulled a LOT of swearwords out of me for having to redo small bits over and over just to try and beat a timed QT event, or to dodge a boss with a one-hit-kill attack it spammed)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, sounds like a plan!
Yeah, I feel you. I really hope the remake of RE2 will bring back the horror game style we used to love.
Haha...dynamite...last time I tried to play the game again, I was like "hmm...this isn't so bad afterall..." and then I got to the dynamite part and I said "fuck that!" XD
Yeah, QTE can be a pain....I don't mind a small amount, but it can get annoying and frustrating very quickly =__=

Might also give it some time so that Doom 4 comes out as I love Doom very much.
I hope the remake of RE2 is a more direct remake than the RE1 remake. I hope it retains the heavy emphasis on adventure-gaming and the more Doom style approach to monsters where they're numerous rather than all being individually dangerous and there's less emphasis on anally-retentive health/ammo management. Fundamentally I love the look of RE1 remake but it feels awful to play and it's too hard for it's own good. BUT, it is still a HORROR game
Yeah I was exactly the same. If the RE games had less wibbly-wobbly controls (say for instance they handled more like Gears of War or Saints Row The Third) it wouldn't have been an issue at all, but seeing how RE 4 and 5 make you stand completely still it's dumb luck that gets you through more than skill and practice in the segments where the rocket launchers, dynamite etc come out. RE4 I can forgive but RE5 has no excuse, it was horrendous to control compared to it's other next-gen contemporaries. RE4, well, I mean all the PS2/GC/XBox games were a little janky to control, but RE5 came out after Gears of War and felt like playing an old PSX game. Of course I still own it...because I'm a sucker lmao. Haven't actually started MY copy yet but did the first couple hours of the campaign co-op with a friend (who basically spent the entire time saving me as I ended up pointing at the ceiling and walking into walls while being stampeded by Majini).
The one that really sticks in my head is the Krauser knife fight. That was the QTE that made me hate QTEs basically. Some of the boss fights on Knights Contract were fairly annoying too, although those at least didn't kill you outright for failing them, just set you back a few minutes. Most of the RE QTEs are instant deaths if you fail, which again is something that makes the 'survival horror' thing go out the window 'Oh yeah, you had a shedload of ammo, loads of healing items and you really got the controls down, but unfortunately you didn't press R2 and L2 simultaneously at the right time, so now you have to go back to the last save point'. Again, not just RE but RE's a big culprit lol.

I never really played Doom. I was more of a Turok fan XD
Really? I thought they did a wonderful job on RE1 Remake so I wouldn't mind if it's similar. I didn't find it THAT hard to be honest, once you get the grip of what to do with crimson zombies. The original was harder I thought XD but I get you. And yes, RE2 had some parts with hordes of zombies, I just hope it won't be too action-oriented for that reason.
This is why I gave up playing RE5 after like 15 minutes. The controls are horrible!! I told myself I would give it another chance after playing RE6....still have to do it XD (LOL)
Oh yeah, so bad ><

I have my PS4 now and have played through the first area of RE Revelations 2. I really love it, work has meant I've not had much time to do anything the past fortnight, but now I've got the Easter weekend off from Fri to Monday I'm probably going to sink my teeth into it a bit more, along with Until Dawn which I am loving the crap out of so far.
I think in truth, part of it could be the Gamecube controller, although I really liked RE Zero and Product Number 03 so I don't know. But also Resident Evil 1-3 on the PS1 are like Sonic/Doom/Mario level nostalgia/love things for me so I'm aware I was hyper-critical. Resident Evil was the first 32 bit game I ever owned, I bought my original Playstation entirely for Resident Evil 1. I do keep meaning to go back to my Gamecube in general though, so there's a window for it there.
Well, when I played RE5 ages ago I thought 'Okay, this is VERY retro and janky, but I could warm to it given time' so when I saw it for 1.99 in a Computer EX here I did snap it up, and I hear that the Lost in Nightmares DLC is seriously rad, but I haven't touched it yet. To be fair, it's got very stiff competition with lots of other games on the 360. If it was on something else I'd probably have torn off the band-aid on it by now. It's not so much that bad controls are RE's problem and RE's problem alone, tbh MOST Survival Horror controls like a brick, but you expect more from such a big franchise and you're less likely to forgive it I think. If I was playing an indie that controlled like RE4 or 5 I'd probably not be so critical, but for a AAA title it needs to pull it's socks up for the core franchise. The Revelations games are butter-smooth to control so lord knows why the main games are so sluggish.
Oh and the new Doom looks SO COOL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SAFSz… . As a horror fan to another horror fan, I also recommend Doom 3, it's a bit long in the tooth but it's very cinematic and atmospheric, and intermittently pant-wettingly scary.

So cool that you finally got to play! It's an excellent game, I'm just a bit sad that Claire wasn't her usual self (not only because of her voice, she acted a bit weird in the game and it was clear that she wasn't the star of the game >> ) And Until Dawn! What a nice game XD I played it with friends and I was the one who I had to finish it. I didn't screw up! XD
Hmmm okay....Well, the Remake came out not too longer after I got into the franchise, so maybe that's why I was awed by its beauty and I loved it that much. I was a Nintendo kid, that's why I was so happy that RE games were coming out on the Gamecube XD I got a PS2 really later in my life so I could play classics like FF7 to 10, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Galerians, etc. (still have to finish most of them XD)
Damn, I should have done that. I was in the hype train so I got the full collection package with the art book and all at $100 XD such a bad idea in the end....I heard that LiN is pretty good too. Yeah, you're right.
Hmm, I should check it out if it's on sale on Steam at some point
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's okay
Yeah I like it so far, I've beat the first two episodes. I can see what you mean about Claire, personally I don't like her levels as much as Barry's so far, Moira doesn't do as much as Natalia to make the partnership important, and like you say, Claire doesn't get a lot of front-of-house time. The emphasis on combat in their bits kind of shows up the game a bit too as the exploration's a fair bit stronger than the combat.
I'm about, an hour maybe, into Until Dawn? I dunno, I'm on Episode 3 I think? I've seen the psychologist 3 times. I'm enjoying it a lot, it's quite different to anything else I've played, and it's very scary.
If you're on the hunt for good horror titles on PS2, I firmly recommend Cold Fear, it's an overlooked but great horror. Yeah I mean, my Gamecube was like your PS2, it arrived late in my gaming life so to speak lol. So that's a factor.
I finally started RE5 properly on my own and it's not too bad, but it's still RE4 in new clothes. I also still feel like I'm unlikely to get better at it in terms of controls because the AI kills stuff I'm aiming at all the time. I keep getting bitten because I'm aiming a headshot at one zombie and then Sheva will kill it but not give any thought to the ones I'm not aiming at, who proceed to bundle me lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah exactly. I hated myself for liking Barry's parts more XD but that's how it was. Claire still had some cool parts, but in general the Barry/Natalia partnership was much more useful and interesting.
Did you finish Until Dawn? XD
It's funny because I have friends who tell me that Cold Fear is a really bad game. So I don't know who to believe XD once I'm all set up in my new basement, I'll take some time to try it and see for myself XD
Hmm right eh. Wow, how practical! I think it's best to play this game with someone. Now I just need to find someone willing to play with me in this day and age XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've nearly beaten the main campaign now (just got Ep.4 to beat) and I've gotten much more on board with Moira, but I think the thing with the Barry/Natalia missions is that they play in a much more thoughtful way than the more standard fare Claire and Moira levels. Also the dynamic between Natalia and Barry is more engaging I think. I still feel like I don't really know much about Moira despite having beaten 75% of her content.
No. It scares the shit out of me lmao. I really like it but it gives me the creeps lmao. I've gotten into the cabin outside of the main house after the dead reindeer and the chase sequence. Also I'm addicted to Assassin's Creed Syndicate atm lol.
Cold Fear's a really solid game. I can see it irritating people who are hardcore RE/Silent Hill fanboys/fangirls because of how much alike it is (the old 'oh but it's a rip off of RE' or 'Oh but RE4 did blah blah first' thing), but it's only real misstep is it has a steep difficulty curve and it's surprisingly short. It controls well, looks good for the era and has decent characters, with some interesting monsters and a really cool setting that makes good use of environmental effects due to the water. It came out just before RE4 did on PS2 so I had it first, I guess I might have been frustrated with the similarities if I'd done RE4 first but that wasn't how it worked out. Tbh I thought it did a lot of the stuff RE4 did better, like the whole 'enemies taken over by parasites' thing worked a lot better in Cold Fear, as the parasite would escape from the body when you killed enemies, letting you step on it. Being able to attack downed enemies without using your gun made life a lot less frustrating. It also doesn't have any really cheap enemies like the chainsaw bloke or the guys with rocket launchers xD.
So far I've not had the 'damnit Sheva' factor too bad yet. I've been careful to not give her stuff I mind her using at random, so she doesn't use a magnum to take down one zombie or the like. But it is frustrating to not be able to get used to the targeting due to always having a partner who shoots things before you if it thinks you're taking too long. Haha I'd play with you if I could afford Xbox Live Gold lmao. But no dice on that lmao.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I agree with you. I thought there would be more chit-chat between Claire and Moira, but Claire remains very boring throughout the game. And there's a big lack of actual cutscenes. It would have added something to the game. Guess they were just lazy with that.
Aww XD I played with friends so I guess it's different than playing alone in the dark XD Ohhh, I still haven't finished the first Assassin XD I'm WAY behind lol
Hmmm, I see. I'll still give it a try when I'll be able to
(omg, the chainsaw guy, rocket launcher monks and the ogres/trolls ruined RE4 for me)
LOL okay. Hmm, I getcha. Aww, would be cool but I have it for PS3

Secondly when there was the opportunity to develop the character interaction early in the game, instead you have the blokes running around and they do pretty much all the talking (read yelling and swearing a lot and ruining the atmosphere). The 2nd episode didn't really have any space for them to talk with there being so many other characters in the mix and the third was very action and plot development heavy. And I'm guessing episode 4 will be the typical 'lab complex/final boss/escape' combo all RE games have, so very plot and action heavy (which is fine again gameplay wise just doesn't give the chance to natter).
Aw I really love the first game, and I wouldn't sweat it, I only have the first one, Liberation HD and Syndicate. Syndicate is WONDERFUL though, it's easily my favourite out of the PS4 games I've got (admittedly I only have 6 lol). It's enormous, and Jacob and Evie Frye are fantastic characters, very fun and likeable. I keep meaning to hit Until Dawn back up. I probably will once I beat Revs 2 and Syndicate, which ought to be soon as I'm in the last 3rd/quarter of both.
It's the setpiece thing ruins the new core RE games. Like all of those bits with the chainsaw guys, or the rocket launchers, or the garados or the trolls, they're just setpieces to make things seem 'epic' and they actually don't fit the controls or aesthetic very well so they get really old really quickly. The 'fear factor' of them is heavy but the moment it inevitably bumps you off and you have to restart over and over it becomes really tedious. And the fact that often they come after a set of waves of normal baddies who (certainly in RE4) can be quite tricky in large groups often means you're in a bad way before you get there anyway. The only bit of Revs 2 I hated was the stupid mutated chainsaw bloke bossfights, which are VERY RE4 (shoot him in the eye! In the eye! HOW HE KEEPS BLOODY MOVING AROUND! HE'S LIKE A DODGING MASTER AND HIS ENTIRE TORSO IS BULLETPROOF!). I've been much happier with the Revs series' more RE2 style of having enemies more spread out and the combat being more tactical and survival-related.
XD don't worry I can't really afford to do online gaming anyway

Yeah, I totally agree! With all that swearing, you would think that Claire would get annoyed and say something about it, but no she's just down to the business and doing her Chris imitation. That Claire performance was so bad....if only it were Alyson Court voicing her...
So what did you think of the 4th chapter if you played it?
I'll probably try the other Assassins at some point but I got many other games to play/finish before that xD
Yeah, totally.
Aw yeah, that chainsaw guy (like any chainsaw guy) was very annoying.
Me too! RE6 was an experience but it didn't feel very RE-like. And I still have to play RE5 xD
Okay, me neither xD

I've beaten all the non DLC Claire/Moira bits now and am on the 4th Chapter Barry/Natalia bit, so I can give a basic rundown of what I thought of the Claire segments.
Overall, the Claire campaign was nice, but (unless there's some bullshit secondary good/bad ending crap going on) Moira dying sucked balls (especially given how hard they foreshadow it, I thought her just up and dying was actually very predictable and anticlimactic), and the fact that there are like maybe 3 enemies and no final Claire boss (I'm presuming there's a big boss at the end of CH4 Barry like the boss at the end of CH3 Claire?) made it just feel like an ending cutscene you played through. So I think the Claire campaign was a solid effort, sketchy on the dismount.
Also Claire was just...so so? I was really excited to play as her again, and they just made her vanilla and totally relegated her to 2nd fiddle to Barry. Thankfully not in an actual 'she's made out to suck in comparison' way, just like Claire and Moira do all the story/cutscenes, and Barry and Natalia do all the cool gameplay mechanic stuff I felt. Claire's campaign was full of puzzles (that were all piss easy but longwinded) and very low on excitement.
You know you're bang on the money with the 'Chris imitation' thing. And it doesn't fit. I did like the new actress but god they gave her barely anything to work with.
Having beaten Assassin's Creed Syndicate, play. that. game. Really loved it. Well the great thing about AC is the way the storyline works each one has a stand-alone story and a new assassin or assassins, so it really doesn't matter what order you play them in. I beat Liberation HD too which I also recommend although it is quite flawed in some aspects. It has a fantastic story and a great lead character though.
I just don't really like the modern RE bossfight formula. It's not half as bad as say, the 3D Castlevanias for instance, or Binary Domain's gorilla bossfight (seriously, that thing was an enormous pain in the ass, it's a near game-breaking boss fight) but because of the awkward angle you're shooting from with the way you can't see anything other than the upper right corner of your character and a sharp cone of what you're aiming at, the whole thing goes a bit 'House of the Dead'. I mean, you can thankfully now move around a bit unlike RE4 or 5, but it's still hard to be very accurate, and the fights demand accuracy because unlike say Dead Space or Silent Hill, non-weakspot hits do NO damage. You might as well just throw donuts at them as shoot them anywhere other than their weakpoints.
I've started RE5, actually like it more playing it on my own than when I played it co-op with friends, I think cos I'm able to take it at my own pace. I don't think the gameplay's much to write home about (it's just RE4 in the jungle with all the same issues transferred over in glorious HD 
I've only seen friends play RE6 but saying that, seeing that put me off. It just looked like a mash-up of those old-style PS2 third person shooter-brawler type games (DMC clones for want of a better word) and a kind of Gears of War done on the cheap game? I didn't like the look of all the dodging and diving and melee, it looked very haphazard and seemed to be pretty broken leading to a lot of cheap deaths? There was some bit in a market where my friend died like 200 times just trying to get Leon to do one little bit because it kept not accepting he was where he needed to be? Oh and we had to reboot the whole game because (I want to say Remulak?) the big 'Nemesis 2' boss guy phased into a bus on Leon's campaign making him unreachable and indestructable. This was on PS3 so I don't know if the 360 version was more stable lmao.

Never quite grasped my mind around it. But for some reason i loved those pistol(smg)s in that game.

For me, it had the original vibe of the first trilogy of games, but it didn't have the accuracy of control of them so I found I was always walking into stuff or getting mauled by things that had bigger collision boxes than they ought to. Despite that it had a good atmosphere, a great soundtrack and some original settings so I did enjoy it a lot but a combination of the dodgy controls and the unnecessarily brutal item placement (Oh, did you put that shutter down that you had no idea would go down? THEN YOU CAN'T GET YOUR SECOND WEAPON UNTIL 4 HOURS INTO THE GAME, GOOD LUCK WITH THE KNIFE, SUCKER!) had me eventually paint myself into a corner after about 6 hours and have to restart.

Thats RE tho, for the most part. Code V isn't on my top memorable list in RE. Only played it once.

I found the first trilogy were kind of 'firm but fair' but once Code Veronica came in things started getting a bit more intentionally sadistic and what crept in was the logic that created Resident Evil Remake and Resi 4 and took a game that could be very hard if played the wrong way and just made it very hard from the get go. Resi 2 and 3 were both games you could more or less muddle your way through and see a lot of the game without a high skill level, and Resi 1 could be learnt, Code Veronica is still very hard even once you've clocked how to play it. Its collision detection is infuriating and it's weapon heirarchy doesn't make any sense, and it's unique monsters are absolutely brutal and extremely numerous.

Probably why nobody liked it hahahahahaha.
Naw, but thats honestly why i think it did so poorly, success wise.

Yeah, no argument here. Even back then it's hard to get into a game that seems to want you to fail at it. It's a weird one cos I do like it better than say Resident Evil 4, 5 or 6. Resi 2 though is still where it's at.

RE 4 and 5 are still in my top tier. 6 never happened as far as I'm concerned. Fucking horrible. 1-3 were and are still classics. Have all of the remakes for GC as well. Hella awesome.

I've only watched 6. That was enough. I know a lot of people really liked 5 but I just didn't get on with it. Like it was obviously a decent game but we didn't see eye to eye you know? Agreements all round on the rest tho
