How good is RE3?

Yesterday (Saturday) I went into Gametraders and put Resident Evil 3 Nemesis on lay-buy, I just wanna know before I get it. How good is it?

It's my least favorite because sometimes it feels like it's being unfair, mainly with the Nemesis encounters. It's like if you don't have enough of a certain kind of ammo, you won't be able to win unless you go all expert, which annoys me. Plus, Gravedigger.

But that's just because I'm just not that good at RE3 yet. It's a fantastic game, though, and if you're an RE fan you'll have a lot of fun. Just remember to keep a healing item on hold in your item box in case of an emergency (there's a lot of those in RE3).

Hell yes. Get this game if you even marginally like RE. It has a megaton of weapons which include; a new handgun, shotgun and a new Grenade Launcher ammo. Also, this introduces Nemesis. The biggest douchebag ever. You can make ammo using a special Reloading Tool, but you need gunpowders to make them. It can make Magnum Rounds, if you have the right combo...

PROTIP: On your first playthrough, always run away from Nemesis. He will slaughter you.

PRO-PROTIP: Easy mode will give you all weapons and a good amount of Bullets. It won't give you the Grenade Launcher, though. You need to find it. You also have infinite saves, too.

There is a Hard Mode. As intimidating as it sounds, it really isn't too bad.

Just finished the game myself.

That gives you a B? That's an A in my books.

Unreasonable.

I'd show a screenie, but I have nothing to photo with, nor do I feel like getting one. It doesn't matter. I've unlocked all of the costumes. Now, to try and get a rank that is different than 'B' on RE2. Even if it was worse, I don't care. As long as it is different than 'B'...

You should have gotten an A. Seriously. That's what you earned.

2 saves? Under 4 hours? That doesn't equal B. That's just mean.

I also had a crapstorm of Mixed Herbs left. I probably had enough to Kill Nemesis with the knife and still have plenty of leftovers. But oh well. At least I unlocked Claire's Epilogue. Onwards to Sherry's Epilouge! Then Ada's! And possibly HUNK'S!

Not a fan of RE3. It's too similar to RE2, and no improvements on the graphics either. A lot of the background scenery in RE3 felt like it was recycled from RE2 (even same angles if I remembered correctly)

Maybe because you used the magnum, or first aid sprays.

I honestly hate the the whole ranking system in RE2 and 3. It just sucks the fun out of the game for me. Once I unlocked 4th Survivor, I stopped caring about ranks. Also, now that I have Jill's S.T.A.R.S. uniform in RE3, could care less about the ranking in that one too, since that's the only unlockable I really wanted.

Never used either. I promise. I'm a Grenade Launcher man. I used an infinite weapon, but unlike RE2, RE3 doesn't penalize you for using Infinite weapons.

Thanks for the tips, you only got a B? i agree with raviorstygian, that deserves an A. Im an contemplating buying RE Outbraek and maybe Survuvor which is on PSX, maybe also Survivor 2: Code Veronica. Are any of those worth getting?

Now that, I can't help you with.

I don't really like Outbreak. the controls, loading time, and direction are all pretty lame.

From what I've played of Survivor, it seems pretty solid. Don't really understand the bad reviews it gets.

wow i made alot of typos in my last post, I should really proof read my posts.

Also, does Nemesis gave a mini-gun and rocket launcher in RE3? I am only asking because he does in the (very bad) 2nd RE film adaptation. It seems kinda silly don't you think?

its VERY good, shouldnt even be something to question about.

and no nemesis does not use a mini gun but he does use a RL. througout the game he first uses hands and fists that switch off between the use of a RL. then he uses tenticles after he gets burned, then tenticles and some kind of acid spit after he falls into a pool of acid.

The ranking system in RE3 is really picky. You REALLY have to know your way around to get an A rank. Even B is hard to get.

I'd recommend getting Outbreak if you are into the story. It gives you a great deal of story on what happened around the city. For example, it shows many of the other officers who were still alive during the outbreak. Also, if you first play RE3 and get to know Nicholai, he does make an appearance in the games.

The Survivor series is officially canon so I'd recommend playing those. Well, at least Survivor and Dead Aim.

Damn. I guess I could have gotten an A if that blasted Three-Gemstone-Puzzle wasn't so unfair. Even the Water Sample puzzle was a cakewalk (not trolling) compared to that.

RE3 is the best RE ever made. Get. It. Now.

Agreed with GL. Now go! Godspeed.

Yeah, RE3 is beast.

If your an RE fan there's no reason not to get it (if anything you should already have it in your collection). Nemesis is easily the best and most memorable of all the tyrants.

It has a lot of gameplay improvements, not to mention you can change the story in so many ways depending on which location you choose to visit in what order.

Complaining about a sequel being too similar to its predecessor is only valid when talking about the CoD franchise. Get RE3.

Indeed.

Yes. I have no idea how Black Ops could be better or worse than MW2. Different modes perhaps?

But RE3 does change things up. It adds new maneuvers and other elements of strategy. Plus, aside from a quick stop to the precinct, every location is new. There's no way it's too similar to RE2.
