Curious now as to what Huber and Blood were discussing about the score (from Blood's comments after the podcast on Thursday night). Wondering if Huber had it lower or higher initially.
Also, this has me suddenly really worried FFVIIR will also not be met with superb reviews. I've always been fine with the possibility of that happening, but it's becoming more real now. RE3 should've been a slam dunk.
Do we know if anyone has review copies yet? I have to imagine they do since normies are getting them.

I think I was right in thinking that Ori 2 is a safer bet than FF7 Remake for my fantasy league, even if FF7 does get stellar reviews. Developers tempt fate when remaking a beloved classic because the remake will inevitably be compared to people's rose-tinted memories of a game rather than what the game actually was.
OP
OP
Haven't looked at reviews or anything. But I always found RE3 the weakest numbered RE up to 6. Mostly on level design but also other aspects. Granted I don't play the game in more than a decade and the remake is supposed to shake things up a bit. Also being a weak numbered RE still meant it was a good game at the time
I'm guessing it's a reference to the Ratchet and Clank controversy from year one? That's the only thing I could figure.
I haven't had a chance to delve into the actual substance of the reviews but the scores don't surprise me for RE3R.
It's a game out a year later that plays largely the same. It's not a radical improvement or a shift over RE2R and if you enjoyed that, you'd likely enjoy this. Scores seem in line with that.

This was always the impression I got, from someone who'd only ever dabbled in RE games until 4 (hate fixed camera/tank controls, sorry Huber). First game is a classic, two is a masterpiece and three is just a good game. I think a lot of people hoped the remake would make it better? Honestly for me, seeing how much more action-focused this game is, it feels like it's right up my alley, even with the Nemesis nonsense that initially put me off.
8.5 seems like a good score to me? Knowing Huber's love for the series it sounds in line with what I'm expecting. 9's are reserved for classics for me.
0?
0?
Wasn't thinking of 0 as a numbered entry. But 0 for sure is a number.
I've tried to be on media blackout for RE3, but the stuff that's starting to seep through since all the reviews dropped has me worried as heck.
Worst thing though, is there won't be a cozy Huber and Kyle playthrough before Kyle leaves.
And it's in my top 5 games of all time. Opinions man, they're wild.

Anyone else see the Mysterious Video premiere they have up on YouTube? Wonder what's happening!
I too always felt Resident Evil 3 is one of the weaker entries in the series. It's still a solid game but the scores it's received make absolute sense to me. This remake didn't change the inherent structure or design of this particular RE.
I (finally) finished Fast and Loose yesterday. Loved it! It brought back fond memories of Mandatory Update Nights. I though Jess was a great addition. I'm not too familiar with her but if they did want to bring in someone to replace Kyle, she'd be a good fit, IMO.
Completely agree. This video was great. This format works really well even over Zoom.
Random prediction: It's Mysterious Monsters bonus April Fool's episode with someone other than Huber hosting and with him as a contestant. Same switcheroo as they did in Gametrailers.
The mere suggestion that there COULD be any outtakes makes me want them more than ever.
Also: would LOVE it if they released (assuming they're still available) the full Prison of Love playthroughs. Would love to watch those as well.
Generally if anything is hilarious we leave it in the episode, but Ian does the editing. I wonder if there's much on the cutting room floor...
Fair point. There's a lot of charm to the show because it doesn't feel heavily edited, so I suspect the best bits stay in.
Some of the info at the top is dated, but give this explanation a read:
Patreon is currently half-way through charges. Numbers will fluctuate for several days before everything is in a "stable" comparable position.
This is great. I also hope it's a template for future quick impressions from multiple allies. More timely and less of a commitment than a Frame Trap episode (which should still exist!)
Thanks Blood. Between the one, two punch of Covid and Kyle I've been thinking about punting a few more dollars your way. Hope everything settles out ok.
