I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I meant more bumbling around in the general area they belong to. They definitely shouldn't stalk you, just kinda amble about because they sort of have leftover habits from when they were alive, habits that these zombies stick to because they actually used to work there. A little storytelling basically, with Dog Punisher Zombie hanging out in the kennel area, a gardener zombie in the garden area, and so on, while a former guard or janitor zombie could be more mobile. Basically a way for the base game to have some variability, where you can learn that a given area has a given number of zombies, but you can't be sure exactly where they're gonna be when you show up. Sorta like the routines for Hitman NPCs, except there's even less of a point to what they're doing.
Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, that sounds a lot more interesting.

So my resolve on RE3 remake is breaking down this morning after seeing it's $45 on Green Man Gaming (assuming I can work out the checkout issue I'm having).

I took a look at the mod sites to see if someone had made Pajama Mode a reality, they don't have that but they do have, uh, this

At least it isn't another "turn all of the female characters into bimbo blow-up dolls" mod.

Believe me when I say that it absolutely is. The horrible mods thread is full of examples of mods that turn female player characters into horribly over-muscled abominations with foreheads that would do a Neanderthal proud, which seems to be a weirdly common fetish in the modding community. This is is totally a sex thing.

Oh it absolutely is, I'm torn because it's very funny out of context but deep down I know it was meticulously crafted with one hand.

Being a bimbo doesn't just mean being a sexualized woman, it's a lifestyle. Jill Redfield is not a bimbo.

If it's final Nemesis, dodge extremely well and hope a random acid splash doesn't hit you. If that's the pit fight, dodge extremely well and hope the tentacle whip doesn't ignore the dodge and kill you outright.

Lmao if you stun a hunter beta with a flash grenade and then use Carlos’ shoulder tackle on it he lays it the gently caress out with a straight punch. Chris would be proud.

"You just punch them really hard..." Chris whispers to himself as Carlos regales him with the story of his adventures in Raccoon City. Chris would never be the same.

REmake does have an optional stalker enemy and it's god awful. Shoot it once and it blows up and kills you. My one try with "One Dangerous Zombie" enabled, I was just going to take out the balcony zombie but apparently said Dangerous Zombie was offscreen, autoaim locked onto him, and that run was over.

Man, I really wish they had put the manpower and time into making RE3 better instead of making REsistance, a game absolutely nobody asked for and everyone could instantly tell it would be an imbalanced, DOA piece of garbage, which it is. When will people learn that asymmetrical multiplayer games inherently cannot be balanced?? Even the best examples of the genre are incredibly toxic, effectively solved games.

And RE3 was theoretically sooooo good, it just had no substance to it and just completely wasted Nemesis and all the cool systems you're given to play with. I can't tell you how disappointed I was to walk out to this gorgeous Clock Tower promenade and there's just nothing. Jill's whole second segment is one hallway and then a boss fight. I was completely expecting once Nemmy fell in the water that he'd jump out as Tentacle Nemesis or something and he'd chase me around a refurbished Clock Tower/City Hall/maybe the Park area and it just... never came. The game so desperately needed one more big stalking area to feel complete but it's not there :negative:

Yeah it's pretty clear that the clocktower was cut content rather than a planned exclusion. The pacing between Jill and Carlos just doesn't make sense there.

I have to say, the note that's basically "Hey future me, if you need this shotgun that I'm chaining up in the gun cabinet at this very moment, don't forget you'll need to cut the chain to get it out!" is pretty close to peak Resident Evil memo.

Well I finished it at five hours almost to the minute. I liked what was there a lot, but yeah, I'm glad I didn't pay full price just because of the length. I was generally fine with it being more action-y than the last one, it had about enough running around puzzle solving for me by the time I got through the hospital section. So, overall a good time. And I'm really happy I went with the PC version and downloaded that stupid bodybuilder mod, it made the whole thing so entertaining and as far as I'm concerned, Big Jill is the canon version since it's the only one I've seen.

Finally managed to beat Tofu Survivor in RE2Make today. The default one was pretty tough and I just barely managed to get through. As for other four, the only one that was remotely difficult was the one with handguns. Having to strategize around keeping your lone knife all the way to the final gauntlet of enemies made for some stressful moments, trying to figure out where you can tank damage and how best to budget your healing items.

There is a lot of potential in the game to explore areas that were cut, or where time-lapses happened. Carlos getting to Jill at the Clock Tower, or getting Jill to the hospital, maybe some stuff with Tyrel or even Nicholai springs to mind. A section establishing how UBCS got put on blast by zombies that Mikhail and Murphy only hint at.

There's not just content cut from the original but they've also created a bunch of situations that could be interesting to explore but won't be doing anything about that which sucks.

Speaking of the game design, I know almost nothing about the original but was surprised (and then not so much, in retrospect) that they reused the RCPD area pretty much wholesale. Did they do that in the original too?

there were some modifications to cut off some areas by boarding up/blockading door but it was mostly the same, albeit condensed

re3make's rpd is larger than the original since the licker hallway is completely blocked off in the original
