I would consider myself a hardcore Resident Evil fan. I’m not on the level where I go back and repeatedly replay Resident Evil 1-5 (nobody’s replaying Resident Evil 6 unless it’s for comedic effect), but I’ll at least consider buying any Resident Evil game on release.With Resident Evil 3 Remake, I’m not disappointed, but I totally understand where the disappointment is coming from, so I’ll quickly explain the controversy. First off, there’s cut content; there’s no way to get around that fact. The original game has more areas, more extensive areas than what’s already here, more puzzles that are more difficult and more boss fights. I don’t know why Capcom did this; it’s like if you re-released a famous book or comic book and ripped out chapters ... MoreI would consider myself a hardcore Resident Evil fan.

I don’t know why Capcom did this; it’s like if you re-released a famous book or comic book and ripped out chapters and frames and hoped nobody notices upon re-release. Yeah… embarrassing for those game developers. This game can be beaten in about 5-7 hours and many believe that doesn’t justify the $60 price tag.The second reason is that Nemesis is weakened in this remake. People are saying that Mr. X from THE PREVIOUS GAME, was more of an imposing figure than Nemesis here. Nemesis only shows up for scripted boss fights, cut scenes and…maybe three times he’ll legitimately chase you into the next cut scene. I’m conflicted about this because the original Resident Evil 3 had two difficulties at the start: easy and hard mode. I’m assuming the “hardcore mode†of this game is the real “standard difficulty†so “standard difficulty†is easy difficulty and the.

The original RE3 may well be my favorite game of all time. So I was absolutely stoked for the remake and was not at all disappointed. I was worried this game would be too similar to the RE2 remake but while that was a more traditional survival horror game, this one is action forward. Which is why I liked this even better than the RE2 remake. I find it more fun running around blasting than sneaking around and worrying about conserving ammo. Plus, the simple addition of a dodge (how it took this long for something so common sensical to be added to an RE game is beyond me) adds so much to the gameplay! The Nemesis is terrifying, everything is gorgeous, I just had fun from start to finish. And I’m not a huge replay person these days but I’ve already completed it ... MoreThe original RE3 may well be my favorite game of all time.

And the Bonus Store makes it so easy to earn points and purchase things like infinite ammo weapons or attack coins (to increase your attack power) and go back and play more. You don’t have to do something insanely hard like beat the game in under two hours to unlock fun stuff like that.I definitely think this title is geared more towards casual gamers which I definitely am. I basically only play RE games any more and only buy a new system once it has a new RE game (only reason I got a PS4 was to play the RE2 remake). It is fast-paced, not bogged down by pointless puzzles, the secondary character of Carlos is a blast to play as (playing as Ada and Sherry in RE2 honestly brings down the caliber of that game as.

So ive been hearing a lot of bad reviews about Re3, and I dont even understand whats wrong with ppl nowadays! The game is fantastic and it truly stands up for its predecessor by all manners! The graphics are amazing just like they are in Re2, and u get to experience the chaos thats been happening on Raccoon city during the outbreak in very realistic manner. The details of the environments are extremely numerous and the game produces multiple “stress factor†elements, while having nemesis hunting u down the streets. Its very polished and it greatly represents the tension and obsession of nemesis hunting down Jill Valentine, while screaming the classic quote “S.T.A.R.S†.Coming from the 90’s and having played all the Re title from the franchise, I feel its a ... MoreSo ive been hearing a lot of bad reviews about Re3, and I dont even understand whats wrong with ppl nowadays!

The music consists of the original Re3 tunes remixed/remade and it gives u all those feelings of “desperation,isolation and anxiety†! Once again Re2 was a phenomenal start to the remake of Re games, and Re3 successfully fulfills that circle. (For those who complain and dont really get it, Re3 was always more action based than 2. Re3 revolved around the high stress factor of nemesis and escaping as much as possible, and Re2 was more of puzzle solving, investigating the means of the virus) the only negatives are some elements from parts of the original Re3, that are not included in the re.

I've seen a lot of reviews Criticizing this game due to its perceived brevity. I didn't really have that problem. To me, this seemed every bit a full fledged entry into the series as any other of the releases. Besides, I'd rather have an outstanding 6-8 hour game than a mediocre one that lasts forever (looking at you, Days Gone). Plus-as with almost all Resident Evil games (Except for 6 maybe) there is a lot of replayability here. Resident Evil 3 continues the high bar set by the Remake of #2 last year. In fact, given there's really just a year separating them I was worried Resident Evil 3 may be an inferior product. That couldn't be farther from the case. RE3 continues the same high polish, gorgeous graphics and fun game play from the previous entry and I couldn't ... MoreI've seen a lot of reviews Criticizing this game due to its perceived brevity.

RE3 continues the same high polish, gorgeous graphics and fun game play from the previous entry and I couldn't be more satisfied with the end result. I do however have some minor gripes though which come next. Now for the bad, or in this case-the annoying. I love this game, and I think for the most part it's an absolute knock out of the park, but there are a few things that annoyed me about the game. First, this game is soooooooooo dark. So many times I could barely see where I was going...and of course that meant that a zombie I didn't see totally chomped my neck despite how meticulous and careful I was being. Second, the zombies themselves. Continuing the "tradition" set in #2, they are absolute bullet/knife sponges. It wasn't uncommon to shoot a zombie 4 times directly in the head, watch it go down, knife.

Resident Evil 3 is an interesting beast to me. I had a familiarity with the 1999 original by being a couch bound observer watching my brother play it when we were teenagers. Never played through it myself out of protest as I was a stubborn fan of Resident Evil Code Veronica and felt RE3 was taking the wind out of the sails of the real RE3 and, by extension, my beloved Dreamcast.Twenty one years later and, in the midst of a real-life viral pandemic, I'm running through the decimated population of Raccoon City in a desperate attempt to escape. Six hours later, I'm done with the game. And...I loved it!Lots of fun, lots of action, some scares here and there, and I enjoyed my moody romp through Raccoon City. Capcom wisely reused assets from the RE2 remake from last year ... MoreResident Evil 3 is an interesting beast to me.

Capcom wisely reused assets from the RE2 remake from last year and cobbled this title together relatively quickly. Lots of people are complaining about the length, emphasis on action and cut content (no clocktower, folks), but it frankly doesn't bother me one bit.I think a major factor in my enjoyment of the RE3 remake is the lack of reverence I have toward the original. The original was also a snappy, short, action packed experience compared to its PSX peers at the time. This is exactly the same - snappy, short, and action packed. Exactly what I expected. I do lament some cut levels from the original, that is unfortunate, but overall this was a great way to spend the weekend even at full-price of admission. Definitely recommended, though clean off your rose-tinted.

RE3 is an excellent campaign that gives you more of that refined RE2 remake gameplay. It looks great, plays great, and brings nemesis to life in all his nemisissy glory. I enjoyed every minute I spent with this game, which is a shame considering you can almost count those minutes on one hand.As a huge RE fan I took my time with my first playthrough. I rarely ran, paused to look at every tiny detail, hunted for easter eggs, etc. I probably couldnt have gone through the game slower if I tried. When my first playthrough ended my time was 6 hours and 6 seconds. My second playthrough where I just ran from objective to objective took less than 2 (1:46:14 to be precise) . 2 hours to beat a 60 dollar game...Campaigns of this length made sense in RE2 where you had to play ... MoreRE3 is an excellent campaign that gives you more of that refined RE2 remake gameplay.

When you complete the game you unlock a shop which allows you to buy several different weapons and game altering items for subsequent play.
