Which RE Remake is better? RE3 or RE2?

[JefCostello]

I've only played RE3 remake and I am thinking of buying RE2 remake.
Which one is better? I'am a huge fan of both originals.
But I wasn't really satisfied with RE3 remake, is the RE2 remake better?

RE2 was more faithful to the original.
RE3 is almost a new interpretation and it felt shorter with many previous location cut (The park, the cemetery, the tower clock missing). I didn't mind it though, I just wish it was longer.

Kinda the same, but I also didn't like some character changes and traits.

RE2 usually is considered the better one, actually it's not even a competition for many since many dislike RE3.

RE3 original is what got me into RE and after seeing its announcement after RE2 I got very excited. While it's not terrible, I'm overall disappointed.

re2 is better but its still lazy. The Leon/Claire B are nothing

[DarkSamus]

RE2 is a far better remake then RE3's remake.
Having said that playing it just makes me want to boot my PS1 version for the more complete story.

Speaking of Story. They removed the Live Choices because they wanted the Story to be more "consistent". I was like "WHAT?"

Apart from minor plot points / game changes, the Story stays the same. The only exception I can think of, is if you enter the Dead Factory by jumping of the brigde. Once you grab the Radar you get the choice to shoot down Nikolai or try to negoiate with him, where he flies away. Still a minor change imo but oh well.

neither were faithful to the original. they showed how Marlon got bit on Outbreak. This game it's totally different.

Neither game shows Ada getting infected by tyrant like the old version in which she cured herself in 4/5.

And more.

Yes, we moved trough the four generations of consoles to get more linear and kinda more limited game than the original RE3.

That is sadly a general theme for many games and genres. It got even so bad at times, that they state the most obvious things, almost as they doubt the intelligence / common sense of their customers and fanbase.

"Oh, a big scary monster is in front of me. I wonder what I should do now ......?"
- New Objective: Kill the big scary Monster-
"Thank you game. I never thought about that"

RE3 remake sucked, RE2 remake is my favorite resident evil ever imo, even better than re4

They're not exactly wrong to do that. Even with an enormous amount of handholding, it's quite common to see people still not getting what they're supposed to do. Worse than that, some start complaining about the game being too hard/not making any sense when it stops holding their hand for a bit.

You know all those fashion trends and stuff? It sure feels like refusing to use one's brain is one of them.

2 is by far better, 3 was just to damn short and cut a lot of the content from the original. My only issue with 2 is theres not as many enemies inside the police station as there are in the original. I was expecting it to be filled up like in the original but i spent the majority of my time roaming empty halls. I mean i like RE cuz its horror and is good horror but i also like to kill everything that moves.

Then they would despair on old PS1 Games like Silent Hill´s Piano Riddle or Resident Evil 1 when mixing V-Jolt. And in both cases you even get small hints, the rest is just logical thinking.

Then again, in this day and age you would be called an ist and phobe for expecting logical thinking especially from those snowflakes on Social media.

RE2 Remake is better than RE3 Remake in terms of game length time and replayability.
