@nessisonett Yup me too, and is one of the reasons I've stayed away from the game and the remake of the first. That section in Bloodborne with a room full of spiders I really struggled with!
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@nessisonett I haven’t played 4 yet, but I do understand it to be more action paced than survival paced. It does feel like RE3 is a half-step in that direction. I little more running and bang-bang than the first two games. Apparently by the time they get to RE 6 it’s just a full speed action third person zombie shooter. I like the pace of RE3, so I wonder how I’ll like RE4-6.

@Th3solution Yeah, RE3 is definitely way more fast-paced than RE2 since you have to be constantly running away from Nemesis. It's a different kind of horror for sure, RE1 and RE2 were more about the atmosphere while RE3 is more intense and the scary factor kicks in when you're being chased. In a sense, the game can be seen as a precursor to the run and hide horror genre we have today with games such as Outlast or Amnesia. Even if you can fight back in RE3, it's highly discouraged due to how strong Nemesis is. Although I don't know if that is still the case in the remake. But yeah, I always find it interesting how people rarely mention that you run away a lot in RE3 since it's heavily reminiscent of a lot of horror games we have today.
@LtSarge Yeah, Nemesis is crazy strong in the R3make. My attempts to take him down with the pistol also shotgun only got me into trouble. A well timed explosive barrel, electrical box, or grenade will all stun him with one hit though. But he doesn’t stay down for more than a few seconds. I’m assuming that’s the same as in the original.

@Keith_Zissou We played the first Resi remake the first Halloween we started this thread! Then we played Resi 2 last year and now Resi 3.
I’ve finished up the Carlos section there and really enjoyed it. I can understand why some reviewers were a bit less keen on this one compared to 2, it’s not quite a masterpiece like that game but it’s great fun even if it’s slightly on rails in comparison!
Finished the hospital now, onto some sorta warehouse it looks like. Actually it’s longer than I thought it would be! Enjoying it quite a lot now, the plot’s better than I expected too. Really feels like it connects perfectly to RE2. Part of me feels like they should explore this new remake universe a bit more before going to 4 as that’s such a different game. Maybe Code Veronica but then that’s quite distinct as well! Just kinda want Jill, Leon, Claire and Chris in a room that isn’t Resident Evil 5 or 6 😂
@JohnnyShoulder@nessisonett I’ve always avoided 5 and 6, something doesn’t smell right with them. Are they as bad as I’ve heard? They’re the gap in my mainline knowledge.
5 is ok. Just ok. It is like RE4 but the atmosphere is bad/boring (at least for me).
RE6 is absolutely terrible. The only campaign I liked was Leons. And I made the mistake to play it first.
There we go, finished off Resident Evil 3 today. Enjoyed it quite a bit actually, although it does feel like it has a lot less replay value. I preferred the streets sections to the later areas, wasn’t a fan of the final area at all. Final couple of bosses fell a little flat too but what’s Resident Evil without a silly final boss! Despite that I had a good time though. Dunno what we’re going to do next Halloween, unless there’s a RE4 or Code Veronica remake by then!
Suggestions are open for the next game! I think we have Bioshock 2 as a suggestion already but there probably needs to be a few others to add to a vote.
Did you guys ever play Shadow of the Colossus on PS4? I remember somebody suggesting it a couple of months ago but I'm not sure if it ever got chosen. I'd definitely love to play that game as I've been waiting for a chance to give the remake a go and see if I like it more than the original.
@LtSarge Oh yeah, I forgot that was on the cards actually! I fully expect that to win a vote sooner rather than later, although we did play RiME last month which is somewhat similar so people might prefer a different sort of game at least for now.
I'd be up for playing shadow of the colossus, I've never played the original so have always wanted to see what the fuss was about! Makes sense if folks have played a very similar game recently to wait a bit. Looking at some ps plus titles in my library, has everyone already played control, ff7 remake or last guardian? I don't know why I've never started control, any gameplay clips I've seen look great.
@R1spam@Keith_Zissou Regarding FF7 Remake, I’d probably say it’s just too long to realistically tackle as part of this. It’s a meaty game! Control’s a good shout though, it’s a good game and I don’t remember it being that long, I platinumed it in about 5 days playing it non stop!
Alright, we’ve got quite a few suggestions now so time to open the vote. I’ll probably close it after the weekend so get your votes in! As always, if you’re wanting added or removed from the tags then just drop a message.
Bioshock 2
Sonic Mania
Shadow of the Colossus
Control
The Last Guardian
I’ve also been contemplating whether we could do Final Fantasy VII Remake but have it run a bit longer than the standard month like we did with Hitman. Just a suggestion!
