Hello, my name is Dallas. I have been pokin around and made a few post but I never did an introduction.



I have always been a huge fan of the Resident Evil franchise. I still remember watching my older brother play the original back in 95/96, I was 13 at the time and it was just a little too hard for me to beat. This past October I decided to play all of the main games in order.




Resident Evil 0 - this was such an amazing prequel, it fit so well that it just seems like it is whole with the original.


Resident Evil 1 Remake - SO good, creepy as hell and the new content was perfect. The graphics on the remake and 0 still look great almost a decade later.


Resident Evil 2 - I liked it, but I didn't like playing through it twice, even though it was slightly different both times. Claire A ending was SO damn hard, I had to do it over and over till I finally beat it.


Resident Evil 3 Nemesis - I may have liked it just a little better than 2.


Resident Evil Code Veronica - I almost skipped this one but I'm SO glad I didn't. It was amazing. Those twisted cross dressing twins were great villains. This one should have just been called part 4


Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles - This was pretty good, I liked the new chapter, but I found this game ridiculously hard. Even while playing on normal difficulty, some of the bosses took me close to 20 tries.


Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles - This was pretty good as well. Not nearly as hard, but then I again I played with with a second player.


Resident Evil 4 - I am about half way through... its so so different. It doesn't really feel like a Resident Evil game I feel like I am playing one of the Thief games, looting bodies and upgrading weapons. I'm killing villagers carrying pitchforks and with aliens implanted in their spines?? I have not seen a single "zombie". DID I REALLY JUST KILL AN OGRE YESTERDAY?? It also feels like its the 1800's. A midget just laughed at me It's a pretty cool looking game, but I miss the fixed backgrounds honestly.


Resident Evil 5 - Haven't gotten there yet, haven't even seen a trailer.


Resident Evil 6 - Same as above.



All in all its comes down 0 and 1 being my favorite.



I enjoy the movies too.


Resident Evil - blah.


Apocalypse - much better, more like the game.


Extinction - this was my fav.


Afterlife - meh, some cool parts but the plot was janky.


Retribution - lets hope this one is good, I love how many characters from the games are in this one.

Welcome to the ccotton-candy-convered place that is REF!

I'm replaying it at the moment and yes, it feels different. I would be lying if I said I haven't grown to love this game, but I need to compartmentalize the game and don't think too much of the "RE" in its name regarding certain aspects.

You should perhaps get RER. It still features the same mechanics as RE4 (no fixed camera angles, a weapon-upgrade system of sorts) which, let's face it, Capcom won't abandon anymore, but the atmosphere on the ship is darker than most of RE4, enemies don't leave items behind (except for bosses leaving keys and stuff like that), and (apart from singular chapters) it's not as dully action-oriented than what we've seen in the near past.

Welcome to the forums, make yourself at home here.

...and is that the pic of Chris where his junk is hanging out? lol

Welcome to the boards, Dallas!

Wait, animaniac, howd you get my pic in your avatar?
