Well they do say "love is blind". They just love the game too much that they turn a blind eye to the things that are making the game bad for most people. Ah the stupidity of modern humans.
@@yee6870 This. This. For me, I absolutely am head over heels for a game series called Xenosaga. (1-3). If I went off of reviews alone I wouldn't have touched the game. There is so much wrong, from story to gameplay but there's a certain charm that has me hooked. But I understand that how I feel doesn't represent every single person who has touched those games. So same for Code Veronica (that definitely deserves its own remake imo). I feel it's underrated or underestimated in the RE franchise.
This is a small realization I had but this game feels like it'd be 50% better with actual multiplayer, both players exploring different parts of the places and having a meet-up point to drop puzzles and meet-up and all of that, like, if someone were to mod that thing in, somehow, with evil hack magic, i legit think it'd be really interesting.
What struck me most about this game in 2002 was the placement of zombies on maps: never scary, always just standing awkwardly in your field of view. Nothing like REmake which was unfair BUT surprising in where you would be attacked from.
Yep, it’s like they only conceived of them for the train section (which often require finesse) and didn’t know what to do with them for the rest of the game.
That wasn't scary, just surprising. More than surprising, it was frustrating to get grabbed by a zombie on a corner just because the camera wouldn't aim right
The zombies only. RE zero had good enemies like the drascal eliminators (if i'm not mistaken) and that annoying f*ck humanoid leech. My 1st encounter of that i almost had a heart attack. And the sound was scary asf
isnt it actually shows that the true chronogical development of the virus? the first outbreak which occured in RE 0 make everyone zombies of course but still not too aggressive like in REmakes, it is logical!
@@Rhy2412TitanGamer You basically have to run right next to the fireplace and pray. The biggest problem are the smaller bats who will mess with your aim. You need to wait until the big bat tries to grab you and slice it at the perfect timing. Probably one of the most tedious things I ever went through in all gaming.
The multiple rants about the hookshot were hilarious and very true. But to be fair to the developers and a very small defense of this terrible dropping items idea, very early on they were trying to tell players that it's ok to drop items and you should be doing it, the first indication that your items are safe is after the train crash where they're all collected near the burning wreck. Considering even disposables such as ammo and herbs are there, it should have been obvious to players at that point that an important item like hookshot would always be safe. But I guess that didn't occur to people as much as it should have. (Certainly if they didn't have any damn items or failed to notice them on the ground are factors that also played into this, I'm sure)
This game is so dope I understand why a lot don't like it but I love it plus the graphics are super clean for being so old God I wish they would of done 2 and 3 like this too these years and then did. The 2018/2020 remakes. I do wish the controls were not as ass as they were tho too on ps4.
Resident Evil never really has much character consistency unfortunately. In general it's always felt more like a lore-first, character-second series. The characters are molded each time to fit the tone or story of any particular game. It's really all about the mystery. I think the remake of Resident Evil was so feverishly devoted to keeping to the original's script that Rebecca's personality in that was just a result of keeping the REmake's manta of "everything consistent with the original but better" without regards to continuity in mind. It's ironic because the only characters that have any sense of consistency usually only stay that way because they don't have as many appearances as others - characters like Claire (though even she doesn't quite escape this in Rev 2), Ada, Barry - who are used a bit more sparsely but always consistent in their ways. So Rebecca should've fit in this but instead was an interesting exception. In the end, she was the protagonist of Zero and so needed to be badass and in REmake she's a supporting protagonist so she became more timid and inexperienced. And who knows what kind of personality she has in Vendetta!
This is what I've always said. The consistency has always been terrible. Very little about the characters remains the same. Voice actors, models, even personality all change. Between the remakes, RE 2, RE 4, and RE 6, Leon is 4 different dudes. And Chris? Oh dear lord, forget about it. He might be the worst example of this. They share the same names and history, that's about where it ends.
@@ff789n10Now that you mention it, I remember in RE Code Veronica in the in-game cutscenes Chris has Blue Eyes, but in the FMVS His Eye color is Brown Lol, yeah I also remember in RE2 that Leon was a redhead and in RE4 His hair is dark blonde
@@ff789n10 The only positive thing is that even if the characters are so different, they are memorable and well constructed, even if they barely reference anything from previous games. Jill is the best example: she is this stoic individual in most of her adaptations and you believe her, but she also has a fun side and a deep moral compass and can show weakness. Some people do not feel sure how to react to her RE3 remake appearance, but it makes a lot of sense because she is not on the job, she is forced to escape and watch the people around her die; of course she is going to be more emotional than in other games and she is barely in control of what is happening. And it sucks that the Remake is a disappoinment because the characters were the best part of that game, especially Jill and Nikolai and their dynamic because Nikolai self-preservation vs Jill morality are always butting heads and that type of dynamic was barely explored in any RE game until Remake3.
@@ff789n10 I feel like the progression of Leon makes sense though, from rookie, to veteran, to "I'm so sick of this shit". But I've always hated the change in a bunch of characters' designs, to where Claire is unrecognizable to me in RE2 Remake. And Chris, oh man...
Rebecca goes into “caution” and “danger” just by any enemy breathing in her direction 😂. So frustrating. I can live without item boxes, but good god is Rebecca fragile lol. Not a bad game by any stretch, but nowhere near my top 5 RE games.
I always liked this game. I thought the character switch was a neat little gimmick. My biggest complaint was that most of the enemies were animal based i.e. just bigger animals which is a mild complaint. The proto tyrant was cool. Makes t-002 seem that much more awesome imo. I do despise the regression in character development for Rebecca though. 100% agree with you there. I also hate that Billy kinda just effed off and was never heard from again. I wasn't a fan of 6 however I absolutely loved Piers as a character and I wish the would have done something more with either or them.
i dont hate the game, i actually like it alot, but if you're a newbie going into this game excited for your first playthrough after beating RE1R, RE2R or what have you, or even worst, if this is your first resident evil game ever simply because you decided to play them all now from the start, to catch up with the game's long history etc, you're going to have a hard time thats for sure.
I had a friend do that and he ended up thinking he hated RE until RE2make came out lmao. I tried to explain to him that there's stuff from 1 that actually gives 0 more context so that's actually where you should start but people don't want to listen 😂
@@mustangmckraken1150This is super late but I never quite understood people going for prequels before the original, the point of a prequel is to add on to the original and they almost never work without context😭 The only time I’ve seen people be so stubborn about it is with the Fate franchise
Jump to 2:40:35 to see the Mimicry Marcus arm slash hitbox when you're running from it. It's MASSIVE & requires very good turning to deal with on manual controls. With the tank controls, it's *very* hard to avoid efficiently. This is a representation of what's wrong with RE 0 & I genuinely like it. The game punishes casual players for doing optimal strategies within previous resident evil entries. Your casual player will likely use Molotovs first, then figure out it's too laggy to use, so it gets free hits on you (after it switches from the passive mode to the aggressive mode). It takes FAR too much ammo to kill without fire & explodes dealing high damage to any character caught. On paper, the enemy looks fine because the devs assumed casuals would take BOTH characters with them into rooms, but the AI is too stupid to work with the player for a legit strategy to kill it effectively (& having a grenade launcher with molotovs takes up lots of inventory). So why give it an attack that punishes a perfectly optimal avoidance strategy? Hell, not sure if anybody knows, but that move combos into its grab for extra damage. Those centipede clowns can stunlock you as much as they want with their swipe attack. Those eliminators can jump you & stunlock you. The game is downright silent about many nuanced situations where casuals *NEED* that additional context. Now for the things I like about the game. Amazing graphics. A varied, oppressively hopeful soundtrack. The rare giant frog that can swallow a character whole. Enemy detail is top notch. Some of the best puzzles for classic resident evil & there's lots of variance to keep things interesting. Leech Hunter mode is fun. Good lore behind the Arklay Mountains becoming infected & tying the whole classic resident evil games together (although rebecca's characterization was ignored). Queen Leech actually managed to complete its goal of getting revenge against umbrella (being one of the few villains in the series to complete its goal). The item management becomes a cool skill to optimize as you improve at the game. The game is a volatile mess, but a likeable one imo. It's like the RE of classic RE in terms of player perception. Either people like it, or they hate it. I can understand both, but I like it quite a bit. The game just as some brutal difficulty balance that can bork casuals.
Another issue with the keycard you need when operating the train breaks is that it doesn't help that when you choose the character to send to the back of the train, in the cutscene they turn and start heading towards the door as though to leave, so it gives you the implication that you don't need anything from the room, otherwise why would they be leaving? Personally, I didn't have an issue because I'm very meticulous (if that's the right word) when it comes to checking for items, but I can see why it would be an issue for people. Honestly, I would have left the keycard out altogether and just had it be the little number puzzle by itself. The keycard just seems like an unnecessary extra thing that comes across as only being there for the sole reason of screwing over people for not picking it up.
with all of the aforementioned things, those daym things in the game that makes it horribly tedious I still love this game. plus Becca is best girl in RE.
I recently replayed this game and absolutely loved it. Ngl i can't really find myself agreeing with some of the points though. 1. When it came to the brief mention about the time of playthroughs with door animation time, i find re1 to be MUCH more painful in that. 2. Inventory management. I remember even as a kid back then the system for dropping things was easy to understand and even when i did have to drop something it never led to me back tracking too much. Managing items by hoarding them in rooms didn't feel like an issue either because when doing that you actively spend time collecting items you probably will never use. The number ammo stacks up to is so damn high that it always felt practically pointless to hoard things in a room especially when you weren't even going to use half the weapons (that goes for my first playthrough when i was younger too) 3. The hookshot and the 50/50 on sending billy up. I clearly remember feeling like the game wanted me to ONLY use it on Rebecca because it made a clear point to tell you that if too much weight was used it could break. I don't even think i knew billy could use it in my first playthrough because i avoided trying it for that reason.
3. That note found at the back of the train is telling us that both Rebecca & Billy couldn't managed to climb together, this is what i've understand with that 80kg max weight 😊
Zero was a more complicated game than most people wanted from a Resident Evil game. But I liked that the limits to gameplay mirrored their limited access to pretty much everything in world.
The fact that Rebecca doesn't mention anything that happened hours before in the mansion leads me to believe she was messing around in that medicine cabinet and got really high.
I've sent Billy up, and I've sent Rebecca up, and you're right. With Rebecca, it takes literally 10 mins and you're done, but if you send Billy up, you have to go looking around all over the mansion, and it sucks. It's really annoying, but I didn't let that ruin the game for me, I played it a second time, and took Rebecca instead, so even though I found out the hard way, I still like this game, and I think it's a decent edition to the franchise, it's just that I feel the devs gave up on a few parts, i.e. sending Rebecca up vs sending Billy up.
It says that the hookshot has a weight limit in the manual when you pick it up so I was always afraid to have Billy use it lol. I did it once on a replay on the Gamecube back in the day and ended up restarting the game because I couldn't figure out how to progress 😂
@@mustangmckraken1150 aw man lol that sucks. I hate that they programmed it in such an assy and lazy way lol, like come on! I really wished they would have had the Hookshot as a separate item that attaches to you, instead of having it take up inventory space when you only use it a few times in the entire game. 😭😁🤝
You know what could've fixed that one hookshot situation before the chemical puzzle? If they just made a text box pop up when you try going up with Billy saying its too small for him or something
I think the hookshot was MEANT to be a beginners trap. Usually what happens is people leave it somewhere stupid, then realize they need it later. then they will have to backtrack through repopulated dangerous rooms to go get it. its purposefully inconvenient so you leave it somewhere early on. not saying its not annoying or doesn't hurt peoples perception of the game, but it was a clear choice by the developer to trap new players into having to go back through old hallways with new replenished enemies to get it if you leave it somewhere dumb like the train crash site. I honestly wish the new RE games had balls to troll the player like that. even if its to a lesser degree.
I first played this game as a kid with a real POS Madcatz controller. Got to the co-op part and Billy just spun around in circles. Confused my young mind lol
I always thought only rebecca could use the hookshot. I read somewhere in the game that it will break if carry more than 70 kg and Billy is problably heavier.
That was my thought when I first played the game too. But I think according to the official stats, Billy might be under the weight limit (an American guy would almost certainly be over at his age, but this was made by Japanese devs). The ages of the characters also bother me a lot lol. Why did they make them kids who somehow have elite experience at like 18 and early 20s.
I just started playing it. Now rewatching this (not remembering anything as I rather listened to it and not watched it): There are many puzzles that are again so simple, they annoy you. As with the piano puzzle, cause I immediately thought I'd need a replacement for the battery and not just have him play twice. Or with the elevator outside and the box as I didn't get that the elevator was just to get the box down, but itself was otherwise completely irrelevant and I completely missed it the first time I was on the balcony as I didn't want to deal with the ravens. I for one left the hookshot at the broken down train and had to go back through the sewers when I was at the chapel... lol.
When I played this game casually, I tried it on hard (I like to do so with RE games of this nature). Between all the backtracking and fighting enemies, I softlocked having to knife a tyrant to death. Game isn't quite as generous as the original RE3 and RE2 or even RE1 remake. Need to come back and try to beat this game. But the taunt of having two characters just makes me want it to be co-op... 😢
Honestly the soft locks can be incredibly frustrating because of the inventory system. In every other RE game I carry the handgun, ammo, and either the shotgun or grenade launcher with a full load for the shotgun. This game you have to constantly lug around all of your weapons and have a dump room, then when you move to a new area if you even can you have to move all your extra healing items and guns to the next dump room. I always love the game going through the train and hate it by the time I leave the training facility 😂
I remember having to not miss a single shot just to kill the Bat Boss lol. Thought it was a kind of adaptive difficulty thing, but if your story is true I was just "lucky".
0 and Code Veronica might be my favorite RE games and I genuinely don’t know why. I understand all of the problems people have with those games but they have almost never affected me or just didn’t bother me too much, no item box was annoying but that’s the only major problem I ever really experienced.
I love Code Veronica, but I am one of the Resident Evil zero haters, it really comes down to Item boxes, period. If they were in game I would have more fun, instead, Resident Evil zero is a game I beat once on normal and will probably never play again, sad...
A thing to point out a lot of the art work in this and other Capcom games of the era looks nice but a lot was using stolen assets. They just straight up yoinked some poor artist lady's designs without permission
@@RandalfElVikingo Just Googled, turns out they stole over a thousand photos from a photographer, Judy A. Juracek, and didn't credit or get licensing to use the photos as assets! Awful stuff from one of the biggest game companies lol
@@MiguelMaravilla Like Fox using footage of a videogame from YT on Family Guy and then deleting the videos from the original person haha. I don't know why I still love Capcom and I consider it one of my favorite companies after all the scummy tactics they do and will still do.
I was trying to play it and there's two problems. Having to manage both characters sucks because it's basically pointless, but I'll excuse it because it's something different. The biggest BS is the fact that there's no item boxes.
I think them being worked on at the same time may have been the issue, or making Rebecca too faithful to the original RE not taking 0 into account. Either way, to add to the RE0 hot takes here, I've always thought Rebecca is one of the more if not most attractive RE girls. Its also always been one of my favorites
"If I had to name the woman character I most disliked in my games, it would be Rebecca Chambers. She’s submissive, she’s not independent. I didn’t want to include her but the staff wanted that kind of character in the game, for whatever reason. I’m sure it made sense to them. And in Japan, that character is pretty popular." Stated by Shinji Mikami. This is why there was no proper continuity with the character. I thought it was fairly common knowledge among RE fans.
It's really funny how he didn't like Rebecca Chambers a submissive character but yet he put Ashley in Resident Evil 4 and she totally was not weak submissive Rebecca is a trained medic and knows how to use guns Ashley is just a whiny little bitch that gets kidnapped and sometimes gets in the way of your gunfire. If you had to choose one character to stay with you throughout the whole entire game I would go with Rebecca plus I'm not a fan of escort missions and that's pretty much what you do throughout Resident Evil 4 is escort Ashley all the way to the end with small little breaks here and there.
Bawkbasoup: im not downloading a mod to fix the controls. its not normal peoples jobs to mod the game and make it better. How about the Devs make it better Also bawk: hang on i forgot to put door skip
I remember my first run I left the hookshot in the foyer with the picture of Marcus, didn't have a scooby what to do after the bat boss, , took me a good while to work out I needed the hookshot, had to run all the way back for it, and then I died too stray monkeys 🤣🤣
I think ustanak is cool design but not well written or implemented by which I mean for example ustanak and re3 remake nemsis feels like just a major enemies to serve as a plot twists or transactions or just for being there but if you take a look at nemesis from Re3 original he is a complete character even though all he says is stars and WAAAA!,basically its like a relationship also building him up through out the game until he appears also played a major role,lets look at another point how this relationship between the player and nemesis like for example when first time downing him and he gets up he start roaring as if he a little kid and things didn’t go his way indicating the player that nemmy is not happy and the next thing nemmy does is dash straight to the player while the player still thinking about nemmy being mad,not having the chance to think about the next move making the player a bit panicky in there decision making (blind play through ofc)upon defeating or retreating its is the changing point of this relationship as if the nemesis to the first encounter between the player gets very personal and into some point in the game it start to feel rivalry like and it gets personal to the point where even if you were at disadvantage against another bow in his presence he will straight up eliminating it if it gets in the way its indicating the nemmy wants the kill for him self other honorable stuff like taunting the player and toying with the player or zoning him out with rockets or even unintentionally cutting the players of to body block their path to get in a hit,also his walking animation feels like he is dead focused on the player like a lion approaching his prey slowly,a mod creator who create the lord of necropolis improved the idea of nemmy to new heights while maintaining or even improving his characteristics and relationships between nemmy and the player while making nemmy a real threat that make even veterans think 2 twice about facing nemny in combat or if its worth the risk and effort props to the mod creator who understood the concept of nemy perfectly,basically nemesis in re3 Og is A character and his dialogue spoken through actions and mixed bag of emotions through out the journey there is alot more to it but i have the feeling i have been writting this forever 😅 Ps:OG nemesis voice actor was the best one in my opinion it did give him more personality,my his soul RIP
For me the lack of item boxes is a major annoyance, but it also seems shoehorned in and out of place. How does the training centre connect the the lab below Racoon City seen in RE2? How is Rebecca so fragile and uncertain in RE1 after going through all this? How does she appear ignorant of Tyrant when confronting Wesker? it's more like a Gaiden game than part of the timeline.
@@AFellowDoktuh It really hurts man, especially going back to replay the original and understanding just how much atmosphere and moments they excluded for no apparent reason. I know RE2R had its B routes gutted in comparison but at least they got everything from their A route done mostly faithfully... clocktower will be in my heart forever
I missed the key card on the train first time too because I exited the car immediately, thinking the card was added to my inventory. It really isn't too obvious until you finally notice it.
I remember wasting all my ammo on the scorpian fight. First few seconds, I was like "Holy, he's taking all my bullets." and then later on, I aimed down for his head and he actually reacted to the shots. I face-palmed and just decided to reload the game.
You can stunlock batboss with the grenade launcher from the starting camera angle and beat him in like 10 seconds, also for the lab part there is a typewriter as soon as you enter the new zone so if you send billy up and fuck up you can reload, assuming that a player is not doing a no save run on their first go which is unlikely if they are unfamiliar with the game meaning they would save at every typewriter they come across.
I played RE0 on hard for my first playthrough and, even though I sent the correct characters up with the hookshot, I still had to backtrack to get it in the hall after the bat fight. And since I had no heals nor ammo after killing the new fucking monkey spawns in the mansion, I softlocked in the area right after the fight and had to load my previous save wasting less resources.
46:08 About the key card thing, this happened to me when I was 12, the first time I played re0. I was like, what I have to do now. And ofc I died. This part of the game is so stressful!!!
That's why I like about the original Resident Evil games before you buy them always get the strategy guide for them all those years ago today all you have to do is shoot and move forward with these lame ass fortnite Call of Duty versions of the new Resident Shooters
Ok I have a question. When Becca made the crucial decision to not go with Enrico, did she actually save Billy? Or would Billy have been ok without her help? A breakdown below: 2:47:36 Becca and enrico meet and she refused to go with him because she has to find Billy She Fights the tyrant 2:51:37 sees Billy get washed away She turns the power back on to the treatment plant 2:55:00 Becca finds Billy -ok so importantly here Billy was already out of the water. My question is do you think her choice to go after Billy saved him or would he have been fine without her? The power was shut down to the treatment plant so maybe he would have been stuck where he was when he woke up?
Just did my first playthrough of RE0 because I wanted to play them all in order knowing nothing about the game besides it's Rebecca and some dude I never heard of on a train. You're only on a train for a little bit haha. I used tank controls because I wanted that authentic feel people had back in the day and I can tell you that this is my least favorite Resident evil game and it was a slugfest to get through. I played the game on Hard because that's what I always do in games, this was a bad decision being my first time playing a res game like this. I carried the hookshot the whole game like he said in the video probably up until the last map. I also left the hookshot in first room and had to fight through the awful monkeys to get it. I sent Billy up because I always used him to scout ahead because he has more health and I upgraded his gun. Horrible bat boss fight. I ran into the frog after the 2nd Tyrant fight, turned around because I wanted to save and got cross the map grabbed and one hit. I also think the story is awful because Rebecca remembers nothing about this game when it takes place before the first game and she fought a tyrant and leach queen but gets cornered by a Hunter in the first game haha. Also hated a lot of the camera angels because I could never see what I was shooting at and would take a hit because I didn't know if they were down or not. Doing my first playthrough of the Remake and can say it is way more enjoyable. I am playing through on Normal and the Item boxes and only worrying about one Character is so much better.
I tell you what, the tank controls get a lot of flack, but honestly works best for these types of games. I could not get used to the normal controls in the X-files RE clone, even hours into it lol. Tank controls for retro RE and retro Tomb Raider fit perfectly fine.
I just finished my first playthrough, I had no idea you could send Billy up with the hookshot since I swear the game prevented him from using it on the train since he was too heavy or something. So I assumed that he just couldn't use it ever and that it was a Rebecca item, I guess I was wrong.
The manual for the hookshot states that someone that is too heavy that tries to use the hookshot could damage it. I think it was a subtle hint to the player that Rebecca needs to use it, not Billy, and punishes you in the lab/tram station if you do.
The point about the keycard and that's one reason someone might hate the game, and that half the people playing on Twitch would be dipshits to miss it, I'm sorry but half those people are dipshits. I've seen a lot of people miss super obvious things even when there aren't time limits. In general, people are just bad at games, and people in general hate games they're bad at, that's why things have gotten easier or handholdy over the years. Classic RE, to me, is about learning from failure. I failed soooooo much in REmake before I finally got the hang of things and it became my favorite classic RE, but most people aren't not going to stick to a game to get to that point and instead play something else and say the game is bad. That's why it was so surprising to people when Dark Souls became a popular series, because it went counter to the way games have become. I just realized that game has easy mode, but it is still true for games in general. It's just the way you're talking is like people can't hate the game because they're not hating it for the right reasons or because they didn't take notes to jot down all the things that are annoying about the game and can list them off. Most people aren't in the position of readily having points and just remember their experience was bad. Most people aren't going to look at the background because they're too busy playing the game. I only played it once and it's my least favorite of the main games, yes even more than 6, but I couldn't tell you why other than that one stupid room with the monkeys and I hated that logic puzzle because I could've sworn I had it and it just didn't work. RE6 I've played a bunch and could list off a bunch of things I liked and disliked.
I honestly wish more people liked this game. This is the one I played the most as a kid out of the fixed camera angles, I loved this game, and still do. Growing up I see it's flaws, the story is a little "meh", has the obvious 'almost' copy/paste in environment after the train sequence, and the biggest one for me is Rebecca and Billy aren't characters. They are one dimensional as all hell, there could have been an outstanding dyanmic between the two, which didn't happen, sadly. But the co-op for a singular person is great, if they are about to be in a pinch, you can get them out of the way without having to switch characters. Better strategy in those regards. I actually really like having no item boxes and having it replaced with just dropping the item on the ground. I don't have to back track to drop an item off, putting myself in potentially more danger. And I can plan where to drop it, and backtrack to an area that is way safer/easier to get to that item that I need back. Just overall, strategy is great to me in this game with it's base stuffs. And the intro train sequence is absolutely gorgeous. The fear that train sequence and the rest of that game put me through as a kid, is such a great memory for me and is a big reason why I am a still a fan to this day. And even now as an adult, I can still get a little spooked at times but get more filled with adrenaline playing these type of games now, but as an adult, I get that 'food critic in Ratatoullie' moment playing the train sequence. I get that child like spark in interest and just get locked in to beating the train before heading to a save in the bootlegged Spencer Mansion lul. I will defend this game as much as I can, because it gave me that final push in the survival horror genre. It was after this game I started to branch off and see what else was out there at the time for spooky games. Thank you RE0.
@@kappacake3147 I wasn't talking about you I was talking about the guy who's channel we are on. He said why people hate resident evil 0. Remember hellooooioooo
Everyone coplains about not having item boxes in RE0, while the fire extinguisher doesn't carry over from Rockfort Island to the Antarctic base in CV; unless you have it on your character. I really think that despite people wanting hard games, they don't want realism. There are no magical item boxes in real life, folks. That right there makes this game enjoyable for me. My only real complaints are the goofy opera singing and Birkin thinking he's a diabolical mastermind.
I don't hate it, on the contrary. I absolutely love it and it's the main reason I'm interested in Resident Evil (I hadn't played any of the games before, including RE0) even though I love my horror games.
As someone who plays dark souls, then resident evil 4 remake, then amnesia the bunker, then pokemon unite and I fire emblem the same week; I cannot understand the problem for having different controllers for different games
you are absolutely spot on, I love this game and I did send rebbeca up, but I also forgot the keycard and was super lost on that part, and I also held on to a plethora of items entirely longer than what makes sense thinking I would need them at some point and it was very frustrating.
Dont feel bad. In the game Shadowrun for super nintendo i literally took several restarts because i didnt knpw where the gun was. I didnt have that isdue with REmake but i have easily missed certain things in other games that made them tougher then they should be.
My indelible opinion. The soundtrack in the main academy lobby is one of the most atmospheric and scariest I've ever heard in any horror game!… I could listen to it nicely instead of the REs game safe room ones LMAO!
I wonder if this game will ever get a remaster along side with the mansion won the first resident evil seriously if they keep on doing the great work like they did for two and four
re4 on Switch has a control method that can be used when pluging in a GameCube controller. It seems like a nice thing right? Well they messed up the qte prompts, instead of pressing A+B, you have to press Y+B, something that just isn't great on a NGC controller. It annoys me to no end that it is sooooo close, but still made it useless.

@@yee6870 This. This. For me, I absolutely am head over heels for a game series called Xenosaga. (1-3). If I went off of reviews alone I wouldn't have touched the game. There is so much wrong, from story to gameplay but there's a certain charm that has me hooked. But I understand that how I feel doesn't represent every single person who has touched those games. So same for Code Veronica (that definitely deserves its own remake imo). I feel it's underrated or underestimated in the RE franchise.
This is a small realization I had but this game feels like it'd be 50% better with actual multiplayer, both players exploring different parts of the places and having a meet-up point to drop puzzles and meet-up and all of that, like, if someone were to mod that thing in, somehow, with evil hack magic, i legit think it'd be really interesting.

I like the atmosphere in this part of RE, glad Bawk didnt forget about RE0
What struck me most about this game in 2002 was the placement of zombies on maps: never scary, always just standing awkwardly in your field of view. Nothing like REmake which was unfair BUT surprising in where you would be attacked from.
Yep, it’s like they only conceived of them for the train section (which often require finesse) and didn’t know what to do with them for the rest of the game.
That wasn't scary, just surprising. More than surprising, it was frustrating to get grabbed by a zombie on a corner just because the camera wouldn't aim right
The zombies only. RE zero had good enemies like the drascal eliminators (if i'm not mistaken) and that annoying f*ck humanoid leech. My 1st encounter of that i almost had a heart attack. And the sound was scary asf
isnt it actually shows that the true chronogical development of the virus? the first outbreak which occured in RE 0 make everyone zombies of course but still not too aggressive like in REmakes, it is logical!

All for.....clout
The multiple rants about the hookshot were hilarious and very true. But to be fair to the developers and a very small defense of this terrible dropping items idea, very early on they were trying to tell players that it's ok to drop items and you should be doing it, the first indication that your items are safe is after the train crash where they're all collected near the burning wreck. Considering even disposables such as ammo and herbs are there, it should have been obvious to players at that point that an important item like hookshot would always be safe. But I guess that didn't occur to people as much as it should have. (Certainly if they didn't have any damn items or failed to notice them on the ground are factors that also played into this, I'm sure)
This game is so dope I understand why a lot don't like it but I love it plus the graphics are super clean for being so old God I wish they would of done 2 and 3 like this too these years and then did. The 2018/2020 remakes. I do wish the controls were not as ass as they were tho too on ps4.
Re0 is my favourite RE game.
Resident Evil never really has much character consistency unfortunately. In general it's always felt more like a lore-first, character-second series. The characters are molded each time to fit the tone or story of any particular game. It's really all about the mystery.
I think the remake of Resident Evil was so feverishly devoted to keeping to the original's script that Rebecca's personality in that was just a result of keeping the REmake's manta of "everything consistent with the original but better" without regards to continuity in mind.
It's ironic because the only characters that have any sense of consistency usually only stay that way because they don't have as many appearances as others - characters like Claire (though even she doesn't quite escape this in Rev 2), Ada, Barry - who are used a bit more sparsely but always consistent in their ways. So Rebecca should've fit in this but instead was an interesting exception. In the end, she was the protagonist of Zero and so needed to be badass and in REmake she's a supporting protagonist so she became more timid and inexperienced. And who knows what kind of personality she has in Vendetta!
This is what I've always said. The consistency has always been terrible. Very little about the characters remains the same. Voice actors, models, even personality all change. Between the remakes, RE 2, RE 4, and RE 6, Leon is 4 different dudes. And Chris? Oh dear lord, forget about it. He might be the worst example of this. They share the same names and history, that's about where it ends.
You're absolutely right, the RE Canon/ consistency with Characters has always been a bit hokey Lol
@@ff789n10Now that you mention it, I remember in RE Code Veronica in the in-game cutscenes Chris has Blue Eyes, but in the FMVS His Eye color is Brown Lol, yeah I also remember in RE2 that Leon was a redhead and in RE4 His hair is dark blonde
@@ff789n10 The only positive thing is that even if the characters are so different, they are memorable and well constructed, even if they barely reference anything from previous games.
Jill is the best example: she is this stoic individual in most of her adaptations and you believe her, but she also has a fun side and a deep moral compass and can show weakness.
Some people do not feel sure how to react to her RE3 remake appearance, but it makes a lot of sense because she is not on the job, she is forced to escape and watch the people around her die; of course she is going to be more emotional than in other games and she is barely in control of what is happening.
And it sucks that the Remake is a disappoinment because the characters were the best part of that game, especially Jill and Nikolai and their dynamic because Nikolai self-preservation vs Jill morality are always butting heads and that type of dynamic was barely explored in any RE game until Remake3.
@@ff789n10 I feel like the progression of Leon makes sense though, from rookie, to veteran, to "I'm so sick of this shit". But I've always hated the change in a bunch of characters' designs, to where Claire is unrecognizable to me in RE2 Remake. And Chris, oh man...
I love Billy and really really wish they would have added more story with bravo team. Enrico showing up for 15 seconds is so dumb.
Rebecca goes into “caution” and “danger” just by any enemy breathing in her direction 😂. So frustrating. I can live without item boxes, but good god is Rebecca fragile lol. Not a bad game by any stretch, but nowhere near my top 5 RE games.
in RE1, Jill is just as fragile, its just that the enemies in that game fucking suck ass (unless you get stun-locked) lol
I just think it’s dumb that you have to control 2 people at times

I always liked this game. I thought the character switch was a neat little gimmick. My biggest complaint was that most of the enemies were animal based i.e. just bigger animals which is a mild complaint. The proto tyrant was cool. Makes t-002 seem that much more awesome imo. I do despise the regression in character development for Rebecca though. 100% agree with you there. I also hate that Billy kinda just effed off and was never heard from again. I wasn't a fan of 6 however I absolutely loved Piers as a character and I wish the would have done something more with either or them.
Totally agree
The first boss is just a big Scorpion that makes monkey sounds. Also where the heck did it come from, it comes out of nowhere like a DMC boss fight.
i dont hate the game, i actually like it alot, but if you're a newbie going into this game excited for your first playthrough after beating RE1R, RE2R or what have you, or even worst, if this is your first resident evil game ever simply because you decided to play them all now from the start, to catch up with the game's long history etc, you're going to have a hard time thats for sure.
I had a friend do that and he ended up thinking he hated RE until RE2make came out lmao. I tried to explain to him that there's stuff from 1 that actually gives 0 more context so that's actually where you should start but people don't want to listen 😂
@@mustangmckraken1150This is super late but I never quite understood people going for prequels before the original, the point of a prequel is to add on to the original and they almost never work without context😭 The only time I’ve seen people be so stubborn about it is with the Fate franchise
Jump to 2:40:35 to see the Mimicry Marcus arm slash hitbox when you're running from it. It's MASSIVE & requires very good turning to deal with on manual controls. With the tank controls, it's *very* hard to avoid efficiently. This is a representation of what's wrong with RE 0 & I genuinely like it.
The game punishes casual players for doing optimal strategies within previous resident evil entries. Your casual player will likely use Molotovs first, then figure out it's too laggy to use, so it gets free hits on you (after it switches from the passive mode to the aggressive mode). It takes FAR too much ammo to kill without fire & explodes dealing high damage to any character caught.
On paper, the enemy looks fine because the devs assumed casuals would take BOTH characters with them into rooms, but the AI is too stupid to work with the player for a legit strategy to kill it effectively (& having a grenade launcher with molotovs takes up lots of inventory). So why give it an attack that punishes a perfectly optimal avoidance strategy? Hell, not sure if anybody knows, but that move combos into its grab for extra damage.
Those centipede clowns can stunlock you as much as they want with their swipe attack. Those eliminators can jump you & stunlock you. The game is downright silent about many nuanced situations where casuals *NEED* that additional context.
Now for the things I like about the game. Amazing graphics. A varied, oppressively hopeful soundtrack. The rare giant frog that can swallow a character whole. Enemy detail is top notch. Some of the best puzzles for classic resident evil & there's lots of variance to keep things interesting. Leech Hunter mode is fun. Good lore behind the Arklay Mountains becoming infected & tying the whole classic resident evil games together (although rebecca's characterization was ignored). Queen Leech actually managed to complete its goal of getting revenge against umbrella (being one of the few villains in the series to complete its goal). The item management becomes a cool skill to optimize as you improve at the game.
The game is a volatile mess, but a likeable one imo. It's like the RE of classic RE in terms of player perception. Either people like it, or they hate it. I can understand both, but I like it quite a bit. The game just as some brutal difficulty balance that can bork casuals.
Superb analysis, the game did look extremely well for the gamecube
Extremely well put and I share all those opinions myself! 👌
Hey Bawk. In the centipede boss I think you can trade items with Rebecca, so there’s no risk of her having all your ammo
Another issue with the keycard you need when operating the train breaks is that it doesn't help that when you choose the character to send to the back of the train, in the cutscene they turn and start heading towards the door as though to leave, so it gives you the implication that you don't need anything from the room, otherwise why would they be leaving? Personally, I didn't have an issue because I'm very meticulous (if that's the right word) when it comes to checking for items, but I can see why it would be an issue for people. Honestly, I would have left the keycard out altogether and just had it be the little number puzzle by itself. The keycard just seems like an unnecessary extra thing that comes across as only being there for the sole reason of screwing over people for not picking it up.
with all of the aforementioned things, those daym things in the game that makes it horribly tedious I still love this game. plus Becca is best girl in RE.
I recently replayed this game and absolutely loved it. Ngl i can't really find myself agreeing with some of the points though.
1. When it came to the brief mention about the time of playthroughs with door animation time, i find re1 to be MUCH more painful in that.
2. Inventory management. I remember even as a kid back then the system for dropping things was easy to understand and even when i did have to drop something it never led to me back tracking too much. Managing items by hoarding them in rooms didn't feel like an issue either because when doing that you actively spend time collecting items you probably will never use. The number ammo stacks up to is so damn high that it always felt practically pointless to hoard things in a room especially when you weren't even going to use half the weapons (that goes for my first playthrough when i was younger too)
3. The hookshot and the 50/50 on sending billy up. I clearly remember feeling like the game wanted me to ONLY use it on Rebecca because it made a clear point to tell you that if too much weight was used it could break. I don't even think i knew billy could use it in my first playthrough because i avoided trying it for that reason.
3. That note found at the back of the train is telling us that both Rebecca & Billy couldn't managed to climb together, this is what i've understand with that 80kg max weight 😊
I...
LOVE
THIS
GAME
Zero was a more complicated game than most people wanted from a Resident Evil game.
But I liked that the limits to gameplay mirrored their limited access to pretty much everything in world.
The fact that Rebecca doesn't mention anything that happened hours before in the mansion leads me to believe she was messing around in that medicine cabinet and got really high.
I've sent Billy up, and I've sent Rebecca up, and you're right. With Rebecca, it takes literally 10 mins and you're done, but if you send Billy up, you have to go looking around all over the mansion, and it sucks. It's really annoying, but I didn't let that ruin the game for me, I played it a second time, and took Rebecca instead, so even though I found out the hard way, I still like this game, and I think it's a decent edition to the franchise, it's just that I feel the devs gave up on a few parts, i.e. sending Rebecca up vs sending Billy up.
It says that the hookshot has a weight limit in the manual when you pick it up so I was always afraid to have Billy use it lol. I did it once on a replay on the Gamecube back in the day and ended up restarting the game because I couldn't figure out how to progress 😂
@@mustangmckraken1150 aw man lol that sucks. I hate that they programmed it in such an assy and lazy way lol, like come on! I really wished they would have had the Hookshot as a separate item that attaches to you, instead of having it take up inventory space when you only use it a few times in the entire game. 😭😁🤝
U don't have to send Rebecca up if you remember to have the green chemical beforehand so you don't have to comeback.
The explanation on why Billy killed everyone. 100% accurate.
RE 0 = ❤
At the centipede Bossfight i realy expected you to blend in some of Ashleys "Leon!" soundboard effects.
You know what could've fixed that one hookshot situation before the chemical puzzle? If they just made a text box pop up when you try going up with Billy saying its too small for him or something
I agree the hookshot should have been a personal item like Billy's lighter
I think the hookshot was MEANT to be a beginners trap. Usually what happens is people leave it somewhere stupid, then realize they need it later. then they will have to backtrack through repopulated dangerous rooms to go get it. its purposefully inconvenient so you leave it somewhere early on. not saying its not annoying or doesn't hurt peoples perception of the game, but it was a clear choice by the developer to trap new players into having to go back through old hallways with new replenished enemies to get it if you leave it somewhere dumb like the train crash site. I honestly wish the new RE games had balls to troll the player like that. even if its to a lesser degree.
I agree
Fair point!
I first played this game as a kid with a real POS Madcatz controller. Got to the co-op part and Billy just spun around in circles. Confused my young mind lol
I always thought only rebecca could use the hookshot. I read somewhere in the game that it will break if carry more than 70 kg and Billy is problably heavier.
Can billy use it
That was my thought when I first played the game too. But I think according to the official stats, Billy might be under the weight limit (an American guy would almost certainly be over at his age, but this was made by Japanese devs). The ages of the characters also bother me a lot lol. Why did they make them kids who somehow have elite experience at like 18 and early 20s.
Billy is only 5’9 169 pounds
I just started playing it. Now rewatching this (not remembering anything as I rather listened to it and not watched it): There are many puzzles that are again so simple, they annoy you. As with the piano puzzle, cause I immediately thought I'd need a replacement for the battery and not just have him play twice. Or with the elevator outside and the box as I didn't get that the elevator was just to get the box down, but itself was otherwise completely irrelevant and I completely missed it the first time I was on the balcony as I didn't want to deal with the ravens. I for one left the hookshot at the broken down train and had to go back through the sewers when I was at the chapel... lol.
When I played this game casually, I tried it on hard (I like to do so with RE games of this nature). Between all the backtracking and fighting enemies, I softlocked having to knife a tyrant to death. Game isn't quite as generous as the original RE3 and RE2 or even RE1 remake. Need to come back and try to beat this game. But the taunt of having two characters just makes me want it to be co-op... 😢
Honestly the soft locks can be incredibly frustrating because of the inventory system. In every other RE game I carry the handgun, ammo, and either the shotgun or grenade launcher with a full load for the shotgun. This game you have to constantly lug around all of your weapons and have a dump room, then when you move to a new area if you even can you have to move all your extra healing items and guns to the next dump room.
I always love the game going through the train and hate it by the time I leave the training facility 😂
@@mustangmckraken1150 Game has so much potential but lacks so many things to bring it all together...
I remember having to not miss a single shot just to kill the Bat Boss lol. Thought it was a kind of adaptive difficulty thing, but if your story is true I was just "lucky".
Resident Evil Zero is not a bad game and I feel like Rebecca Chambers should return to the series maybe get another game or maybe a remake of re0.
I feel like that thumbnail and title dont go together. Its not Rebecca's fault :(....
Poor Rebecca, i love her she such a cutey :) :) !
0 and Code Veronica might be my favorite RE games and I genuinely don’t know why. I understand all of the problems people have with those games but they have almost never affected me or just didn’t bother me too much, no item box was annoying but that’s the only major problem I ever really experienced.
"FATHER!!!"

@@A_mir0_0 100% wrong, Code Veronica is awesome. Thank you and have a great day.

Save theme for this game is top notch

I don't know why I still love Capcom and I consider it one of my favorite companies after all the scummy tactics they do and will still do.
I was trying to play it and there's two problems. Having to manage both characters sucks because it's basically pointless, but I'll excuse it because it's something different. The biggest BS is the fact that there's no item boxes.
Hey bawk whats ur opinion on the Darkside chronicles and umbrella chronicles.
Yeah, I think the reason things like the Hunting gun are tucked away like that is because of GC controller notches. It's right in that angle.
I think them being worked on at the same time may have been the issue, or making Rebecca too faithful to the original RE not taking 0 into account. Either way, to add to the RE0 hot takes here, I've always thought Rebecca is one of the more if not most attractive RE girls. Its also always been one of my favorites
I agree. You are a man of great taste, lol.
Fun fact: the Hunting Gun has better range than the shotgun also the hunting gun in Rebecca's hands allow faster firing too.
"If I had to name the woman character I most disliked in my games, it would be Rebecca Chambers. She’s submissive, she’s not independent. I didn’t want to include her but the staff wanted that kind of character in the game, for whatever reason. I’m sure it made sense to them. And in Japan, that character is pretty popular."
Stated by Shinji Mikami. This is why there was no proper continuity with the character. I thought it was fairly common knowledge among RE fans.
depends who you're talking to, if by RE fans you mean the RE4 cultists, yeah they know shit.
Shinji Mikami spoken like a true virgin. He can change the character for whatever he likes, the lazy douche.
thanks for this piece of knowledge
We all know how much Shinji Mikami really hates including weak submissive women in his ga-
LEOOONNN!! HELPPPPP!
It's really funny how he didn't like Rebecca Chambers a submissive character but yet he put Ashley in Resident Evil 4 and she totally was not weak submissive Rebecca is a trained medic and knows how to use guns Ashley is just a whiny little bitch that gets kidnapped and sometimes gets in the way of your gunfire.
If you had to choose one character to stay with you throughout the whole entire game I would go with Rebecca plus I'm not a fan of escort missions and that's pretty much what you do throughout Resident Evil 4 is escort Ashley all the way to the end with small little breaks here and there.
No one hates RE0. It’s simply one of the bests Resident Evil.
Bawkbasoup: im not downloading a mod to fix the controls. its not normal peoples jobs to mod the game and make it better. How about the Devs make it better
Also bawk: hang on i forgot to put door skip
I remember my first run I left the hookshot in the foyer with the picture of Marcus, didn't have a scooby what to do after the bat boss, , took me a good while to work out I needed the hookshot, had to run all the way back for it, and then I died too stray monkeys 🤣🤣
I think hate is a strong word. And a four hour video is not gonna convince me, bro. Come on, why all the bashing?
I think ustanak is cool design but not well written or implemented by which I mean for example ustanak and re3 remake nemsis feels like just a major enemies to serve as a plot twists or transactions or just for being there but if you take a look at nemesis from Re3 original he is a complete character even though all he says is stars and WAAAA!,basically its like a relationship also building him up through out the game until he appears also played a major role,lets look at another point how this relationship between the player and nemesis like for example when first time downing him and he gets up he start roaring as if he a little kid and things didn’t go his way indicating the player that nemmy is not happy and the next thing nemmy does is dash straight to the player while the player still thinking about nemmy being mad,not having the chance to think about the next move making the player a bit panicky in there decision making (blind play through ofc)upon defeating or retreating its is the changing point of this relationship as if the nemesis to the first encounter between the player gets very personal and into some point in the game it start to feel rivalry like and it gets personal to the point where even if you were at disadvantage against another bow in his presence he will straight up eliminating it if it gets in the way its indicating the nemmy wants the kill for him self other honorable stuff like taunting the player and toying with the player or zoning him out with rockets or even unintentionally cutting the players of to body block their path to get in a hit,also his walking animation feels like he is dead focused on the player like a lion approaching his prey slowly,a mod creator who create the lord of necropolis improved the idea of nemmy to new heights while maintaining or even improving his characteristics and relationships between nemmy and the player while making nemmy a real threat that make even veterans think 2 twice about facing nemny in combat or if its worth the risk and effort props to the mod creator who understood the concept of nemy perfectly,basically nemesis in re3 Og is A character and his dialogue spoken through actions and mixed bag of emotions through out the journey there is alot more to it but i have the feeling i have been writting this forever 😅
Ps:OG nemesis voice actor was the best one in my opinion it did give him more personality,my his soul RIP
For me the lack of item boxes is a major annoyance, but it also seems shoehorned in and out of place.
How does the training centre connect the the lab below Racoon City seen in RE2?
How is Rebecca so fragile and uncertain in RE1 after going through all this?
How does she appear ignorant of Tyrant when confronting Wesker?

I missed the key card on the train first time too because I exited the car immediately, thinking the card was added to my inventory. It really isn't too obvious until you finally notice it.
I remember wasting all my ammo on the scorpian fight. First few seconds, I was like "Holy, he's taking all my bullets." and then later on, I aimed down for his head and he actually reacted to the shots. I face-palmed and just decided to reload the game.

I dont get the inventory box complaints. Main hall is just one big inventory box and you have to keep going back to it so whats the problem?
@生流 奏 you have to keep going back to ot just to progress through the game. Its not a hassle unless you dont know about the hookshot
You can stunlock batboss with the grenade launcher from the starting camera angle and beat him in like 10 seconds, also for the lab part there is a typewriter as soon as you enter the new zone so if you send billy up and fuck up you can reload, assuming that a player is not doing a no save run on their first go which is unlikely if they are unfamiliar with the game meaning they would save at every typewriter they come across.

I played RE0 on hard for my first playthrough and, even though I sent the correct characters up with the hookshot, I still had to backtrack to get it in the hall after the bat fight. And since I had no heals nor ammo after killing the new fucking monkey spawns in the mansion, I softlocked in the area right after the fight and had to load my previous save wasting less resources.
RE0 having no item box is my biggest gripe.
If RE0 gets a remake hopefully it’ll be multiplayer co-op.
It needs to be added but still have the option to go solo. Maybe RE0Make can have new expanded areas that explore being solo and co-op.

2:51:37 sees Billy get washed away
She turns the power back on to the treatment plant
2:55:00 Becca finds Billy
-ok so importantly here Billy was already out of the water. My question is do you think her choice to go after Billy saved him or would he have been fine without her? The power was shut down to the treatment plant so maybe he would have been stuck where he was when he woke up?
That being said about the controls Re0 on switch has the best layout: A is action, B is run X is status and y is map
Just did my first playthrough of RE0 because I wanted to play them all in order knowing nothing about the game besides it's Rebecca and some dude I never heard of on a train. You're only on a train for a little bit haha. I used tank controls because I wanted that authentic feel people had back in the day and I can tell you that this is my least favorite Resident evil game and it was a slugfest to get through. I played the game on Hard because that's what I always do in games, this was a bad decision being my first time playing a res game like this. I carried the hookshot the whole game like he said in the video probably up until the last map. I also left the hookshot in first room and had to fight through the awful monkeys to get it. I sent Billy up because I always used him to scout ahead because he has more health and I upgraded his gun. Horrible bat boss fight. I ran into the frog after the 2nd Tyrant fight, turned around because I wanted to save and got cross the map grabbed and one hit. I also think the story is awful because Rebecca remembers nothing about this game when it takes place before the first game and she fought a tyrant and leach queen but gets cornered by a Hunter in the first game haha. Also hated a lot of the camera angels because I could never see what I was shooting at and would take a hit because I didn't know if they were down or not. Doing my first playthrough of the Remake and can say it is way more enjoyable. I am playing through on Normal and the Item boxes and only worrying about one Character is so much better.
I tell you what, the tank controls get a lot of flack, but honestly works best for these types of games. I could not get used to the normal controls in the X-files RE clone, even hours into it lol. Tank controls for retro RE and retro Tomb Raider fit perfectly fine.
I just finished my first playthrough, I had no idea you could send Billy up with the hookshot since I swear the game prevented him from using it on the train since he was too heavy or something. So I assumed that he just couldn't use it ever and that it was a Rebecca item, I guess I was wrong.
The manual for the hookshot states that someone that is too heavy that tries to use the hookshot could damage it. I think it was a subtle hint to the player that Rebecca needs to use it, not Billy, and punishes you in the lab/tram station if you do.
I love everything about this game ❤
Ok what are these new Graphics Mods for OG RE2? Is there something better than the Seamless HD Project?
The point about the keycard and that's one reason someone might hate the game, and that half the people playing on Twitch would be dipshits to miss it, I'm sorry but half those people are dipshits. I've seen a lot of people miss super obvious things even when there aren't time limits. In general, people are just bad at games, and people in general hate games they're bad at, that's why things have gotten easier or handholdy over the years. Classic RE, to me, is about learning from failure. I failed soooooo much in REmake before I finally got the hang of things and it became my favorite classic RE, but most people aren't not going to stick to a game to get to that point and instead play something else and say the game is bad. That's why it was so surprising to people when Dark Souls became a popular series, because it went counter to the way games have become.
I just realized that game has easy mode, but it is still true for games in general. It's just the way you're talking is like people can't hate the game because they're not hating it for the right reasons or because they didn't take notes to jot down all the things that are annoying about the game and can list them off. Most people aren't in the position of readily having points and just remember their experience was bad. Most people aren't going to look at the background because they're too busy playing the game. I only played it once and it's my least favorite of the main games, yes even more than 6, but I couldn't tell you why other than that one stupid room with the monkeys and I hated that logic puzzle because I could've sworn I had it and it just didn't work. RE6 I've played a bunch and could list off a bunch of things I liked and disliked.
just beat this game today! i kinda liked it but having no item box was my only gripe
I honestly wish more people liked this game. This is the one I played the most as a kid out of the fixed camera angles, I loved this game, and still do. Growing up I see it's flaws, the story is a little "meh", has the obvious 'almost' copy/paste in environment after the train sequence, and the biggest one for me is Rebecca and Billy aren't characters. They are one dimensional as all hell, there could have been an outstanding dyanmic between the two, which didn't happen, sadly. But the co-op for a singular person is great, if they are about to be in a pinch, you can get them out of the way without having to switch characters. Better strategy in those regards. I actually really like having no item boxes and having it replaced with just dropping the item on the ground. I don't have to back track to drop an item off, putting myself in potentially more danger. And I can plan where to drop it, and backtrack to an area that is way safer/easier to get to that item that I need back. Just overall, strategy is great to me in this game with it's base stuffs. And the intro train sequence is absolutely gorgeous. The fear that train sequence and the rest of that game put me through as a kid, is such a great memory for me and is a big reason why I am a still a fan to this day. And even now as an adult, I can still get a little spooked at times but get more filled with adrenaline playing these type of games now, but as an adult, I get that 'food critic in Ratatoullie' moment playing the train sequence. I get that child like spark in interest and just get locked in to beating the train before heading to a save in the bootlegged Spencer Mansion lul. I will defend this game as much as I can, because it gave me that final push in the survival horror genre. It was after this game I started to branch off and see what else was out there at the time for spooky games. Thank you RE0.
Loads of people love this game take no notice of the narcissistic person
@@chadbrick67 I don't know what I did, but okay.
@@chadbrick67 It was just a comment about why I appreciate the game and how it seems like everybody else dislikes it. I don't understand?
@@kappacake3147 I wasn't talking about you I was talking about the guy who's channel we are on. He said why people hate resident evil 0. Remember hellooooioooo
@@chadbrick67 My bad yoo, just going on assuming lmao.
I love re0 favourite game of them all
The way Edward crashes into the window Always made me laugh 😆
Everyone coplains about not having item boxes in RE0, while the fire extinguisher doesn't carry over from Rockfort Island to the Antarctic base in CV; unless you have it on your character.
I really think that despite people wanting hard games, they don't want realism. There are no magical item boxes in real life, folks. That right there makes this game enjoyable for me. My only real complaints are the goofy opera singing and Birkin thinking he's a diabolical mastermind.
I don't hate it, on the contrary. I absolutely love it and it's the main reason I'm interested in Resident Evil (I hadn't played any of the games before, including RE0) even though I love my horror games.
In your opinion what is the hardest ResidentEvil game ?
As far as the hookshot goes...a RE2 remake change with red checkmarks to discard items would do wonders here.
As someone who plays dark souls, then resident evil 4 remake, then amnesia the bunker, then pokemon unite and I fire emblem the same week; I cannot understand the problem for having different controllers for different games
dude, i'm so engaged with ur channel, i love the resident evil franchise and watching ur videos has made me love it even more, great content!
you are absolutely spot on, I love this game and I did send rebbeca up, but I also forgot the keycard and was super lost on that part, and I also held on to a plethora of items entirely longer than what makes sense thinking I would need them at some point and it was very frustrating.
I loved the Unlockables for this game
Dont feel bad. In the game Shadowrun for super nintendo i literally took several restarts because i didnt knpw where the gun was. I didnt have that isdue with REmake but i have easily missed certain things in other games that made them tougher then they should be.
This is the first RE game I've played!
My absolute favourite title in the franchise xD Still play it on my gamecube lol Thanks for the upload, Bawk!
Im feeling his control complaint after the RE4 demo lol
2 3 and 4 have all different controls
I need to give this game another chance. I got stuck on the train in the beginning and never tried to play it, again.
My indelible opinion.
The soundtrack in the main academy lobby is one of the most atmospheric and scariest I've ever heard in any horror game!…
I could listen to it nicely instead of the REs game safe room ones LMAO!
I wonder if this game will ever get a remaster along side with the mansion won the first resident evil seriously if they keep on doing the great work like they did for two and four
re4 on Switch has a control method that can be used when pluging in a GameCube controller. It seems like a nice thing right? Well they messed up the qte prompts, instead of pressing A+B, you have to press Y+B, something that just isn't great on a NGC controller. It annoys me to no end that it is sooooo close, but still made it useless.
Aw really? Thats ass dude. I'm sorry. 😞
In re4 pc if you play at 60fps, the QTE are broken, the minecart is impossible to do at 60fps, you change to 30fps or do ditman skip.
@@torinopeek Nooo seriously. That's just sad.
