2 is the best, so skip all the others and just play that.
It has pretty much no connection to the first game.

Silent Hill's better. O:


RE: So I want to try Resident Evil. - Ultimecia - 10-30-2010

Agreed with the above. Silent Hill 2 is the best of all IMO

But if you REALLY have to try Resident Evil, 2 is the best, available for PS1, N64 (avoid this one) and GameCube (it's just the PS1 version). After Resident Evil 2, if you're still interested, play Resident Evil 3 Nemesis . Avoid at all costs Resident Evil Gaiden (GBC).
I'd recommend the RE1 GC/Wii for the graphics and RE1 for PS1 the hilariously BAD acting (with real actors instead of some CG). Resident Evil Zero looks like lots of fun, I still have to play it (but I hate Rebecca too much to try). Resident 4 and 5 are a completely different storyline, genre, gameplay and everything altogether.

RE1 on the GC is really a lot more than just enhanced graphics

sorry guys, resident evils 0-3 are all horrible clunky messes that aren't fun to play and have no redeeming qualities :-)


RE: So I want to try Resident Evil. - PrettyNier - 10-31-2010

yes and you would probably dislike the original castlevania games as well, your opinions are invalid

Caution: May contain.... uh... spoilers?

And no, I don't know how this qualifies as a redeeming quality.

i enjoy the original castlevanias but that really has nothing to do with resident evil, i understand you're upset that someone might think differently than you but please learn to post before you try to play with the big boys ;-)

dude.

4 and 5 were great games, they may have not been ~as scary~ but the games themselves are far more playable and... fun.

oh whoops didn't realize you were bryan, sorry the comment just seemed so ignorant that I didn't even consider the possibility you were anyone much less aware of the original castlevania titles! i just assumed you were one of those people prone to bitching about "slowness" in game design or perceived clunkiness without actually giving any thought as to the potential reasons or motives for it (which is retarded)

that seems partially false but I don't think i can say entirely

they were entertaining, moreso 4 than 5, but "also awesome" isn't really applicable unless you're using a completely different standard (in which case the comparative nature of the comment isn't really well thought out), thats all



RE: So I want to try Resident Evil. - Cobalt Blue - 11-02-2010

i'm the only one who likes the resident evil games as a whole

mean, resident evil isnt as scary as people painted it but its certainly one fun action game to play. although the first 3 haven't aged as well as i would like them to.

i personally still enjoy RE3 over the rest of the games purely thanks to nemesis chasing you non stop from the very begining.


RE: So I want to try Resident Evil. - Proton - 11-02-2010

Goddammit, Resident Evil 4 was one of the best games of all time.
That game was crack.

I love Resident Evil. I recommend starting with the PSX version, get the Director's cut if you can. The Gamecube version is good too, but it is also a little different. There are added rooms and better graphics, but still you get a great experience from starting with the original. Then you can play Resident Evil 2 and 3 if you like, which were both released on Playstation and Gamecube. Resident Evil 3 is identical on both systems, however Resident Evil 2 has at least one added feature on the Gamecube version. Its called an arranged mode where you get an assault rifle with unlimited ammo. Using that weapon makes beating the game a piece of cake. But I would say you should use that only if replaying the game so you get a better feel as to how good part 2 is when you play it for real.
