Resident Evil 0 vs. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis

[Junior95]

So which one is worse?

0. 3 Nemesis is one of the better ones if we ignore the "remake"

I haven't played 3make yet because of the negative reviews (will probably buy when it's around 15$) but i was never impressed with Nemesis. After 3make, many seem to have been reminded that Nemesis wasn't that good to begin with. Without nostalgia glasses Nemesis is basically an action packed expansion of RE2, nothing groundbreakingly new nor interesting in it.

RE0 is just baffling, like how could they go so wrong with this game after REmake it's like they didn't learn anything from previous RE games.

3 wasnt supposed to be new. Its 3 with an escape setting and tone. It works in the original, but the Remake skips over too much. Makes more sense if you know that Nemesis was originally a spinoff

Yes, i know that which is why Code Veronica got the short end of the stick, it's budget lowered and was exclusive to the Dreamcast which is why many never played it and ended up not caring for it becoming the most underrated game in the series.

RE0 isn't my favorite but still better for me than RE3. I explained it in some other thread but, basically:

-I've never found streets and alleyways in RE games scary or interesting. I prefer indoors and more spooky locations, and RE0 has got more of that.

-Never liked RE3 dodge mechanics.

-I don't mind RE0's lack of item boxes, actually enjoyed the extra planning and not being able to hoard everything I wanted.

Best parts of RE3 are Nemesis and the alternative paths/endings, but I prefer RE0 for the overall experience.

I agree with all of your points except the lack of item boxes, in my opinion it forces you to keep some items/weapons close or else you have to backtrack a lot.

This could've worked on the N64 as the game was originally intended it would probably have been smaller in scale but on the gamecube the game got much bigger areas with so many doors and stairs it's really not fun to backtrack that much.

But what I really, kinda, hate about 0 is the A.I. partner and double inventory management I just beat 0 HD Remaster on Hard mode and boy was it a nightmare especially on the final boss fight I really wanted to stop playing.

Both RE0 and RE3 are equally frustrating to me but I never finished RE3 and did finish 0 so I guess I enjoyed 0 just a bit more lol.

Except that we're comparing RE3 for ps1 not the remake lol.

imo this game should have had itemboxes TOGETHER with the drop item system. would have been perfect then imo. or dont have so many 2 slot items. like why the ♥♥♥♥ does the HOOKSHOT take 2 slots? why? thats just annoying for no reason. i get it for certain weapons as they are powerful like the grenadelauncher but come on with the damn hookshot.

I agree the hookshot was incredibly annoying you never knew when you actually needed it and my guess is they did that purposely to force you to backtrack all the way back with newly spawned eliminators in the hallways.

The game should've made you choose either item box with 6 inventory slots or no item box with more 8 inventory slots to balance things out.

Gotta say, although I enjoyed RE0 overall (and the cheesy lines are hilariously B-movie, like "suck on this queenie!"), I totally agree about the hookshot. What. the. ♥♥♥♥ing. ♥♥♥♥. was that? Easily the single most annoying thing in the game.

Don't much remember RE3 though, it's been so many years... I do remember that I loved RE1 and 2 back in the day but, although I was enjoying the beginning of RE3, after a point I kinda forgot about it, went to play something else and never finished it.

Never got a chance to play Code Veronica, since no one I knew had a Dreamcast (and I didn't care enough to emulate it years later). It would be nice if it got a PC HD remake, I keep hearing it was a good one.

If you like cheese dialogue and weird characters, it will be a blast.
Asided from that you get pretty much everything, that made a RE game at that time. Exploration, inventory management, puzzles and all the standard enemies plus a few (annoying) new ones.
Only downside is the lack of variation. Once you are through, there wont be anything new anymore. No alternative routes, scenarios, chapters etc.
But it is atleast quite long and delivers some rather unusual bossfights. (both in good and bad ways)

Tough question. Visuals and atmosphere, definitely Zer0. Gameplay (I guess?) RE3. In terms of story and pacing, I would reluctantly say Zer0, although it's not great.

Replay value, none. I played RE3 for the last time about 15 years ago and don't miss it. it is still my least favorite classic RE. Zer0 somehow manages to fool me into thinking it used to be a better game than it is and I end up playing it once every other year.

Yeah same over here, I remembered RE 0 being "alright" until I replayed it just recently. RE 3 not so much.

They're both my least favorite classic RE's. Hard to say which one's worse. Both are very annoying at times, but also have some good moments. I would say Zero is easier and less obnoxious than 3, but has an absolutely atrocious inventory system and some of the worst monsters in the series. But I enjoy Zero's puzzles more, so I'm going to say 0 > 3.
