Why does RE3 remake have bad reputation?

[FreddieForever#1]

All RE remakes seem to have good reputation except this one, why is that?

Theres a mod that allows you to avoid all those cutscenes. And guess what? A speedrunner usse that mod and set a record on 35 minutes. Go to speedrun.com and check all the categories. All the times are above 40 minutes.

Cool, you're still wrong. The timer is paused during cutscenes.

A quick look on the Steam Charts shows how RE3R is low on compared to any other of the last 5 RE Games relased.


A quick look on RE.NET shows that RE:Resistance has more player than RE3R has.

The only people who still plays RE3R are speedrunners (And this went down after RE4R relase)

Compare RE3R people vs RE2R, RE4 2004 and RE5 and any of those games had more players than RE3R.

Not my own opinion. Simple math. Other games had more players than RE3R.

When a game is actually good the people who remains playing it during the time is high. This game after 3 hrs got many negative reviews at the point someone censure metacritic review page. (Not to mention that they also pay for reviews bc a 9.7 for a game that people barely qualify on a 6 7 at best is a huge difference)

To be fair. The original RE2 Scenary B change a lot. On RE2R it feels like an imaginary path.

If you play Leon A, Claire B is very inconsistent. Same goes if you play Claire A Leon B is non existent. And the story is exactly like the Path A except that you had the quick draw or the other special gun and regular ammo becocme the special ammo. Another evidence of capcom lazyness.

And yet it it is something that actually changes something. Claire B is fun to play for the quick draw and i remember finding the revolver on the RE2 Dualshock version. Unlike RE3R where the 5 or 6 difficulties gives you the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over. The only "big" difference is Nigthmare and Infernal gives you the LH from the begining.

And this is another thing capcom screw badly on RE3R. Nemesis gets KILLED by ONE HAND GRANADE, regardless of the difficulty. "Oh no nemesis" *Throws one of the 500 hand granades he got on the first 3 minutes* *Archivement unlock NEMESIS DOWN!*. On RE2R, RE4R, i dont remember killing a boss that easily and this is a joke that remains for the rest of the game.

I agree that RE2R the knife is broken but you had to unclock your framerate in order to abuse about that. On RE3R you dont need to unlock the framerate to kill nemesis with one granade.

I recall this point again bc i forgot something. Capcom was so deseperate to sell this game in 2020 that after a month. Yeah a single month of the relase the 30 days exactly got a 30% off and 6 months got a 50% off in the same year relase. Compare that with RE4R. RE4R the highest disscount i saw on steam was 10% not a 30% and already has a month out. This is a good example on how a good product can be sold by his own without adding disscounts.

Replay the game and pause the game on the begining of the QTE cutscenes timer and then after the cutscene check the play time timer. You´ll notice how the cutscene time was added when you ended the cutscene. The begining of the game has arround 10 to 12 cutscenes and from those 12 at least 6 or 7 still count on the play time.

QTE sequences aren't cutscenes. Cutscenes are anything you can skip.

Actual cutscenes pause the timer and always have in RE Engine games.

All this is, is RE3R in comparison to other games again.

By itself, how is RE3R? Not in comparison to the original or other RE games, just as the package it is.

Again, just because you dislike something doesn't make it objectively bad, especially considering this game has 80% positive all reviews and 89% positive recent. Seems that most people enjoy it, just saying.

Re3R Is not a bad game at all. it's just the game is too short. you can play through it 10 times within one day. besides it doesn't matter nothing to me can compare to my Number #1 og re4. that god like game is from 2005, makes the remake look poorly made, mostly every other game modern game, basically all recent RE Titles look below par.

[Pierce Dalton]

In short, it's too different from the original and lacks too much from it. Good game but bad remake.

As someone who is starting to get into the series, where can I buy the original? Am I stuck pirating it?

I'm still playing it for the first time and going really, really slow.

The one thing I can point out as a new player, is that the game seems more straight forward than RE2R. It doesn't feel like you are searching as much, compared to finding the items and just moving along.

They had a good package deal where you could get 2 and 3 together for $15. I like Jill so I think this game is pretty cool.

.

Yep. Bc you dont need to search for items. The items find you.

Unlike RE2R where you extra effor on explore the map rewards you here that is unexistant. Starting bc for some dumb reasson devs make it a middle squares back and foward the first 75% of the game. Which is boring while on RE2R you could reach an objetive trought different ways.

After reaching the police station, I am just looking at it as a DLC for RE2R.

I like how you are pretending you have never heard of unskippable cutscenes.

A Quicktime Event has nothing to do with cutscenes. A Quicktime Event can be outside of a cutscene or inside of a cutscene.

The fact that a cutscene has a Quicktime Event does not magically make it not a cutscene.

My guy. RE4 most iconic cutsence. When you meet Krauser. IT HAS QTE and guess what? IT IS A CUTSCENE and guess what YOU CANT SKIP IT!

RE5, Motorcyclist Cutscene at the crash site... Yep you guess it. IT HAS QTE and IT IS A CUTSCENE and YOU CANT SKIP IT at all.

Whats the difference between those cutscenes and the ones on RE3R? RE3R is so short that Cutscenes are counted as "play time" something RE4 and RE5 doesnt do.

Post says "Why does RE3 remake have bad reputation?"

Go to the reviews at 2020 from april (People who did the mistake on pre-buying RE3R like i did) and read the posts from April- May. Everyone compares this RE3R with RE2R and agree that this isnt a game but it is a DLC at most.

Its not what i dislike. It is what most of the community OUTSIDE steam talks about this game .

Serously. Dont let you fanatism blind you just bc you feel it is good game. Just go to google and write "Resident Evil 3 Remake" and find out that this is the first 4 links google gives you

1.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12mNYNhZ6ks

2.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJd2MXgLYyw

3.- https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-Resident-Evil-3-remake-seem-doomed-to-fail

4.-
https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/gbbudv/how_resident_evil_3_fails_as_a_remake/

Idk whats the worst part. If that the first thing google shows has the word "fail" or "failure" or the fact that after reading the first 5 lines and find out how fast gets compared to RE2R *BY HIS OWN COMMUNITY*

Maybe for you it is a good game since you bought it on sale but the ammount of sales show how this game is bad.
