Why so short? Cleared it in 5 hours and I was really taking my time rummaging about in every bin and stockpiling ammo and health for that big fight I was always sure was just around the corner leaving me with a ton of shit even after the final fight. I do the same bloody thing in every game. Tch.
So Resi 3 looks terrific (looks like 2) and has a brand new story but this time there’s only one story as opposed to 2’s 2. So when is clocked it at 4 hours and 55 minutes I was immensely disappointed that there wasn’t anything more. Nothing. Well, you unlock a shop and now play the same game for more points to spend on crap but I won’t be doing that.
It’s a good game for sure but it’s just so short that it’s difficult to recommend to anyone unless it’s on sale. I mean, I got it for £20 and that’s a fair price for the quality, but they were selling this thing for sixty quid which is crazy.
Nemesis is fine but he isn’t scary, less scary than Mr X perhaps? He does the same stuff but in the latter half of the game (so only a couple of hours in) he’s relegated to being just a repeating boss fight. If there was more game and more of him chasing you about i think that would have been better.
Oh and where’s the puzzles? This game is almost all action, and again, after the half way point it gets really narrow and linear.
The story is the same as before as well and it’s really old and trite now. Especially the character motivations which are “I did it for the money” which is sooo fucking lazy. These one dimensional baddies without any nuance, but this is a Resi game so, y’know, what can you expect (everyone: “better”).
Still, Jill looks amazing and she’s a sexy badass. I don’t know why gamers moan about female characters; some of the best protagonists I’ve played this year had awesome women as the star.
If you enjoyed Resi 2 then wait for a sale and grab this for a few hours of the same.
