Resident Evil 3 worth buying?

I recently bought RE4 and have been playing it non stop. Ever since I got it I have become obsessed with the resident evil universe. I regret that I have not followed the series from the beginning. I tried the demo for RE3: Nemesis and found that the graphics were in fact not so good. My question is: If I can handle the graphics, would you recommend the game?

yeah defo mate, its a bit different to 4, gameplay wise, but very good, try 2 as well, imo its the best of the series

agreed , everyone has there favourite, i have fond memories of skiving work at bout 18/19 just to play resi 2, same could happen at 28 for resi 5!!

Great. Thanks for your input. I found out that I can up the graphics immensely so that's not a prob. The problem is, I suck at it. I've tired the demo a few times but I can't even seem to get past the first part. I always get swarmed and can't get away. Any tips?

best tactic is run around zombies unless your are overcrowded then shoot the odd one or two, remember conserve ammo!!

Conserving ammo is one of the best tactics, use the handgun or whatever and just avoid enemies, before you know it you will have tons of the right kind of ammo.

this was the first RE game that I ever played...of course I would recommend it

It is worth buying! It's a great game!
It's my favorite!

Resi 3 is a must mate. They don't create gems like this anymore.

If you are talking about the pc version, indeed you can increase the resolution up to 1280x1024 if I'm not mistaken. But unfortunately the game will look even worse. That's because the graphics cards that existed when the game came out weren't able to support/deal with such high resolutions. The fact also that the game uses pre-rendered graphics for everything doesn't help. Sorry to break it to you but the game will look at its best at 800x600 resolution. I'm sure that if you get used to it though you will enjoy it immensely.

yea go for it man PM me for a fast way to get RE3

I saw it for quite cheap at the shop where I bought RE4 so I will be heading there as soon as I can get past the demo.

if you get stuck mate you can always get a walkthrough on youtube or buy the book if u prefer, but re3 is a MUST get

Fo sho. It has some of the best extras on any RE game, it can only be topped by both Outbreaks and RE4 Wii Edition, but even RE2 had some good extras.

well is not the best if you never played non of the old ones. ones you play this one you will be like but give it a try

re3 is amazing and defidently worth full price on any console

RE3 is mt favorite... I definitely recommended it... and I also made a Video Walkthrough of the Game on Youtube in the Video and Picture section here. You can get it new in factory sealed wrap on Amazon for the same price used in the stores.

Actually RE3 story is really strange, I mean why Jill is still in racoon city, is this story taking place at the same moment with Leon and Claire from RE2 or it has a real big difference, if the city is already infected for 3 days, why there is still people in this city, why can't they run away but instead, the RPD and STARS members make a barricade and wait until they die.
Even saying this, I still like RE3, I completed it 100% with all endings, I only played once in hard mode<-- TOO COMPLICATED you have to save ammo and use it to slow the enemies
anyway I recommend you to get that game asap

RE3 takes place alittle after RE2, seeing as the Raccoon Cuty Police Department is boarded up in RE3 and The Police the gave you the key in RE2 is still dead in his spot in RE3. Also, during the last boss battle against the mutated Nemesis in RE3, the Mutated Nemesis chomps on the Dead Mr. X Tyrant (possibly from RE2) plus theres two more dead Mr. X's in thier suits under the generator.

Actually, RE3 takes place both before and after RE2.

Sept. 28th ~ 1st half RE3 (ends when Jill becomes infected and falls unconscious)
Sept. 29th ~ RE2
Oct. 1st ~ 2nd half RE3 (begins when Jill awakens and Carlos goes to get the vaccine)

There isn't really a logical in-game explanation for the boarded-up police station or Marvin Branagh appearing dead (granted, when you examine the body, it says he's mortally wounded, not dead), but the date at the beginning of the game is expressly stated as Sept. 28th, one day before the events of RE2.

If I were you I would start at scratch. Start from Resident Evil Zero > Resident Evil > Resident Evil 3 > Resident Evil 2 > Resident Evil: Code Veronica > Resident Evil 4 > Resident Evil 5

That is the order you should play them in and you could also play umbrella chronicles on the wii if you have a wii before you play 5 if you want but thats totally optional.
