I only played RE0 for the first time on the ps4 with the remaster and my thirst for old school was at a frenzy which probably helped my enjoyment a lot more. It's the worst of the fixed camera games so I can see how people playing it on release could be left with a bad taste.
I haven't finished Rev1 yet. I bought the remaster for 360 and my experience was very mixed. The big cruise ship was a super cool location which from what I played I really liked. Then the bits of the ship were so bad that I put it down and never got back to it. Which is a shame because I really do love the cruise ship as an RE location.
I find most themes are trash. But I do like ones with music so I sometimes rotate in whichever one plays the save room music.
I like the REmake and RE0 themes that came out with the save music. I wish you could do with PS4 theme what you can with PS3 and use their icons + sounds with your own custom background. Using your own background on PS4 just reverts everything else to default. :/
I hope with PS5 they do something new and unique with the themes.
Fucking hell, Capcom.
That's not even the worst example of that in Code Veronica. Have fun.
Doesn't really matter but if you want the intended expereince go with the GCN and CRT.
Yeah, I missed the submachine guns and almost missed the magnum on my playthrough. I was considering going for the Platinum on PS4 but I gave Onimusha's remaster a shot and it's a way better game then CV so I'm playing that lol.
Were you thinking of this fella?
Because this might be the single most annoying fight in the entire Resident Evil franchise. Although some battles in RE6 would make it run for its money.
Thinking about enemies in CV a bit more, I think it's easier to say which enemies aren't annoying. Even classic like Hunters can become so because they are so hard to hit. Besides the first fight with Alexia and some moments with those one arm things, I don't think I ever had fun while fighting in that game.
I remember getting stuck on the Tyrant fight at the end of the first disc of Code: Veronica on Dreamcast back in the summer of 2000.
After that, I used the Dreamcast browser to download a save file from GameFAQs with everything unlocked, and just played through it with an infinite ammo magnum and stuff. Hah.

SofNascimento, I haven't played CV yet, but I just wanna give a shoutout to RE6's shit tier boss fights. I love watching Simmons transform back and forth 300 times, not knowing whether I'm doing any damage or not, and doing the same masher QTE where you pound his face in for the billionth time!
That should have been RE6 sub-title. I lost count how many times I was "am I doing damage?", "should I keep shooting?", "what the hell am I suppose to be doing?"...

I was actually talking about the character-switching shit... but most of the enemies suck too, yeah. :P
Honestly, RE6's boss fights would have been significantly better if they just has a health bar or something.
All the Resident Evil games have issues with damage feedback, especially during boss battles where the enemies are bullet sponges. RE6 is easily the worst about this, especially during the meat t-rex boss. Doing that as Ada is tedium.
Code Veronica's enemies have been so damn shitty so far. Even enemies that seem like they should be cool end up being annoying. Like the Bandersnatches. Cool design and I like the fact they can climb up to upper levels quickly to cut you off. But entering a room and being hit by an arm off screen kept pissing me off. It's not fun. And don't fucking get me started ON THOSE FUCKING MOTHS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Is that the one where it's in the water? I always pick up the item then run back out the room. I don't think I ever bothered to fight it.Were you thinking of this fella?

It is. And I just assumed you had to kill it for some reason. Later I discovered it wasn't even the only optional boss in the game. You can avoid others too.
I remember constantly getting electrocuted by it and not being able to get a shot on it. Really annoying, glad you can just leave the room. What were the other bosses you can avoid? The other one I know of is the giant worm, but can't think of any others at the moment.
Ah yeah.
CV really does have some annoying bosses, though, I remember dying on Nosferatu was so annoying because the last time you could save was so far back. Hated the bit with Steve and his axe too. Still love the game though, used to play it all the time on my Dreamcast. The graphics were so amazing at the time.
I don't remember really having a problem with any of Code Veronica outside of wanting to murder Steve. I'm such an ammo hoarder that I was ready for the plane deal. Some of the puzzle backtracking wasn't great and I did look at a CVXfreak guide once or twice I think.
I hate CVX's final boss. So many annoying things spamming you while you're trying to charge that stupid gun. I like CVX overall more than Zero, but Zero has a wayyyy better final boss.
I have a feeling it won't happen, but I kind of want a CV remake just to fix its many issues. Subjective as it may be, I find that the game has the weakest atmosphere and music of the classic titles. There's a lot of room for improvement in terms of its presentation; it's so poor at building a horror atmosphere that it ends up feeling like an action game with Resident Evil gameplay to me.
Up to Antarctica with Chris in Code Veronica. I actually enjoyed the prison section with Chris quite a bit. I welcome the return of Hunters. They had to bring back an old enemy to finally get an enemy type that doesn't suck. Interesting choice to have red hunters that can poison you.
So when I got to Antarctica I went down to the save room and was like "Those fucking moths better be gone!"
YAY! THE MOTHS ARE GONE YAAAAAYYY!!

I think it's Antarctica feeling relatively unique as a location, with a hell of an introduction (silly and interrupted by terrible "romance" scenes as it is), that keeps me coming back to it. I guess it's drab too, but ... somehow more ice makes it engaging. Color wise there's more going on, too. It also has one of the better tracks in the game.
Code Veronica feels like it's coming to its conclusion!
Just
I'm liking the game a lot more than I did before. There's some good things in this game. There's also some really, really bad things. But this play has raised Code Veronica a couple places in the franchise for me.
Just
escaped mutated Steve and fought first form Alexia as Chris. I get the feeling the devs were expecting me to give a shit about Steve at this point. "I love you" LMAO. Hope I get to play as Claire again at some point. I forgot to open the case in my box with the lockpick. Wonder what was in it.

I feels kind of weird to look forward to playing RE2 upon release, but knowing that there is already a 10 page discussion thread. I feel like I reach whatever points of contention people might have with the game, that discussion will have largely already been had.
you're not gonna see what was in that case lol
Well, it prolly wasn't anything vital

Maybe I'm alone in this but I absolutely detest RE5's boss fights (and the RE5 campaign as a whole). A couple years ago myself and a friend who never played the game before did online coop through the campaign on PC. This is where I learned how much Capcom broke the game by removing GFWL and then adding it back in once people threw a shitfit about the lack of split screen so we had to install a bunch of fan made patches to even get the game running properly.
I went into this playthrough remembering the RE5 campaign as one of the great ones in the series but now I regard it as one of the absolute worst. From the boss battles that we actually had a worse time with than the RE6 bosses (the number of times I exclaimed during RE5 boss fights "is this working as intended or is this an undocumented RE5 PC bug?" happened far more than in our RE6 play through) to the dumb story that doesnt truly become fun until the last 30 minutes of the game, to the terrible encounter design in the back half of the game (with the mediocre to good encounter design in the first half of the campaign), and to RE5 managing to be both the best and worst in terms of representation in the series all added up to us hating the campaign.* (the section with the Lickers still rocks). We also disliked Desperate Escape (though Lost in Nightmares and Mercenaries still rules).
After RE5 we both experienced all the campaigns of RE6 for the first time and against all odds we really enjoyed them. Even with that, RE5 is an undeniably a better designed and tighter game than RE6 in many ways but me and my friend had so much more fun with RE6's campaigns. RE6 is just such a batshit crazy game in basically every conceivable way. It dragged at moments and could be frustrating in spots but overall we had way more fun (NOTE: we played through both RE5 & RE6 on the hardest difficulties available).
*Josh and Sheva are undeniably awesome but I fully believe they only exist so that the game wasn't about a white dude going to Africa and murdering a bunch of infected black people. Yes the crowds aren't entirely made up of black people but they are predominantly made up of black people. Also the tribal stuff just sucks. The narrative of "look at how these evil white people from Tricell took advantage of these simple natives" is kind of a bad look too in a way I'm sure Capcom didn't anticipate. I certainly think it all comes from a well meaning (if very ignorant) place but it still sucks. The Chinese enemies in RE6 also suck but they're not even on the same level as what's on display in RE5.

Yeah I'm not a fan of 5's boss fights outside of the uroboros ones where you have to torch it. The rest are either too gimmicky or too dull. None have cool designs, either.
Personally I love RE5 bosses, they designed with co-op in mind and many require effective co-op to beat without issue. Plus it's easy to tell when you're actually hurting them, unlike RE6 which have a bunch of scripted nonsense where it not clear if you can even hurt them.
RE5 on hardest really isn't for a new game playthrough though, pretty sure it intended for NG+ with upgraded and infinite weapons. The lab Uroborus fight on Pro it not even worth trying to use the flamethrower, it'll empty before enough damage done to expose weak spots.
Also the Wesker/Jill and Wesker hanger fight are all amazing.l

4 and 7 have easily the best bosses in the series imo. If 7 had just 1 or 2 more good ones then it would probably be the clear number 1. Even 7's "shoot the obvious glowing weak points" boss is more fun than the others of that ilk.
7's suck. Just hold block, fire after block an attack. Nothing else to them. Really basic and poor design.
