Resident Evil

The Gammas feel like a reskinned G-Embryo

Have any of the RE games featured some kind of Powered Armor? I think that would be useful given the type of monsters they deal with.

Well, yes.

But it's used by a monster.

That's already pushing into science fiction if anything other than zombies haven't.

Yea, that was really silly even by RE standards.

Sending a rocket launcher-wielding, tentacle armed monster into a city was subtle!?

Considering what happens to them in RE 4, what do you think?

I'm not sure why it took me this long to realize this, but even if Nemesis did succeed in his mission I'm pretty sure Umbrella also thought he was disposable.

Ya know, why DO they never mass produce nemesis anyway exactly? Are they harder to control than Mr. X was?

It's created by a specific parasite, of which Nemy was the first and only successful implantation of. By comparison Mr. X was able to be mass produced even years after Umbrella was disbanded.

Aaand they had no way to replicate the process they presumably created with science?

Kind of hard to do when your company dissolves. Plus only one working Nemy was made and it was defeated by one woman. Given how long it took them to get one working and how it's usefulness was only witnessed by the people who helped kill it there's not a lot of incentive to make a second one.

Was RE3make's dodge mechanic part of the original RE3? I only played the original for a short time, but I don't remember any dodge mechanic; what I do remember is being able to mash buttons when a zombie grabbed me and sometimes being able to push that zombie off without taking damage.

Which monster was that?

Talos from Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Supposedly they're superior to Nemesis.

Looking them up I also found out about the the Ivans (who names these things?) who look like mutant Power Rangers.

tragically Umbrella couldn't make a T-Viruzord in time

Well to be fair the guy who seemed to command the Ivans was so Russian you could taste the borscht.

The dodge mechanic in the original was very finicky. When having your weapon drawn, pressing the action button at the right time would let Jill dodge, but you had no control on when or where she could dodgee, which could make you get hit on the next attack anyway. The remake lets you dodge whenever you want and lets you choose the direction to dodge.

Fighting Nemesis in the original boiled down to spamming the action button. You dodge half of the time while peppering him with grenades.

Is it just me or does pressing the action button not do a damn thing when a zombie grabs you? Am I doing something wrong?

Far as I know, it doesn't make you break free. You take less damage.

Ah, I see. That could've been communicated better, having a QTE prompt gives the impression that you can break away.

Wasnt Nemmy an off-shoot of whatever mutation Lisa Trevor developed?

I'd also point out, that while RE 3 might be a 4-5 hour game of you know what you;re doing, I can almost guarantee for someone like me who's never played it before and wants to explore as well, its gonna take me more than 4-5 hours

Sooo, I'm playing R3make and...

I can't help but notice that Jill has posters of half-naked women on her bedroom walls, I mean there's a poster of a guy too, but he's fully dressed. Look, I'm not trying to make assumptions here, but it would be a pretty troll move from Capcom given how long the fandom has shipped her with Chris, and pretty much any other guy that comes her way.😝

I mean has anyone looked at Jill and immediately thought "Yes that woman looks extremely heterosexual." because if so they are lying.

She was with Carlos too. You can't convince me otherwise.

I'm totally for bi Valentine.
