Man, why'd they have to do Jill and Nemesis so dirty. Look, I'll admit this game is fun - I had a good time with it, enough that I'll definitely replay it a few times. But as a huge fan of RE3, my favorite classic style RE by miles, it just leaves you wanting so much more... I mean, it's short enough that I see the achievement for doing a 2 hour speedrun and don't doubt that I could pull it off. This is hardly a unique observation but the amount of content they ignored from the original is absolutely absurd. My poor beloved RE3 gets shafted so hard compared to the remakes of 1, 2, and 4... even my boy Nemesis, the king of horror game stalker enemies, so intrinsic to the original game that his name was part of the title, has a stalker enemy mechanic for about a half hour before becoming only scripted sequences and boss fights. RE2 Remake Mr. X outclasses him by miles. Sure would be nice if they could use the art and assets to do a RE1 Remake style version of the original, or otherwise make the original easily accessible again. The bright side is at least we got the excellent designs for the cast here, Jill and Carlos look fantastic. I had a good time, I really did... but it just stings that when it came time to remake my favorite Capcom simply didn't care the way they did with every other remake.
