Picked up Resident Evil 3: Remake recently...
And boy was I blown away.
Plenty of Exploration— Stores, Restaurants and other Racoon City buildings to enter and loot.
Nemesis was handled better (and worse) than Resident Evil 2: Remake’s Mr. X. Only bothers you at scripted moments, but makes up for it with his increased speed and greater range. Can actually enjoy myself without the paranoia of a stalker showing up at any moment. But, I can see Nemesis’ limited appearances can be a bad thing. Bummer. Also, better boss fights. Tell me I’m wrong.
More compelling characters than Resident Evil 2: Remake. Claire and Leon weren’t as... interesting to me. Jill, an officer and plain bad-ass, joined by a good-guy like Carlos who just wants to protect and save people. Even risking his life to save a girl he hardly knows, going after a vaccine. And the human villain... I just found to better than Police Chief Irons from the previous game.
Better Inventory Handling, by far. Closer zoom-in on your inventory when in the menu. Just a single-click to pick up loot, when you usually had to go select “Pick Up Handgun Ammo” then press the button again to put it in your inventory. That’s an example, but you get my point.
Infinite Weapons and other perks locked via Shop, instead of rank S requirement. I’m no speedrunner, so this is just perfect. I can manage challenges. Thank you.
Following patterns like any good series (I.e. Star Wars). Female survivor tries to escape, gets stuck in the city, has to go to the Police Station to locate someone, makes their way — eventually — to a NEST facility, pulling a cure from it, only to use/lose it during escape. And, of course, forced to fight a Tyrant-level abomination in their escape. Something difficult to kill, but not impossible. For reference, ignoring the fact that Carlos was the actual one who went to the gym. My noted similarities still stand.
Only big issue I found was the long-wait to unlocking the Magnum. I mean, heck, you only get that right before leaving the hospital. Game’s in, let’s say, it’s last quarter, and you just now received the Magnum. That really sucks, guys.
