>I beat the original Resident Evil 1 as Jill, which means I'm a hardcore gam-ACK!

>>713074896 (OP)
They both have their positives and negatives. Quit being a stupid faggot, OP.

Ideally you beat both because the game is designed to be replayed and isn't just a one and done experience

>>713074991
>Chris.
>Positives.
Eat shit.

Chris has zero advantage on anything.
>OH MY GOD CHRIS CAN TAKE MORE HITS!
Ya well he fucking has to considering his SHIT GUN sucks dicks compared to the fucking bazooka when it comes to hunters!

Jill is pure eZ mode.
>Bazooka is OP.
>More item space.
>Lock pick.
>Barry can get you out of jams, so early shotgun.
>No extra steps with the Piano puzzle.
>Yawn 2 fight, Barry will give you a rope to make it easier with the hole.
>Plant 42 fight is instantly dead because Barry flame throws it.
The list goes on with things I cant remember!

Fuck off, the only thing Chris gets is 3 free heals from Rebecca.

>>713074896 (OP)
>not beating the game with both characters

>>713074896 (OP)
Well, you need to play both to get the full story and characters, that's kind of the point of the first two RE games.

you know what anon, thanks. I was fucking bored but now I'm going to replay RE1

>>713075130
>>713075218
>>713075380
People have said they've only played as Jill which is why I make this thread

>>713075380
>You need to play with both characters to get the full story!
>If you play as Chris, you can only save Rebecca and Jill.
>If you play as Jill, it is only Barry and Chris.
>You never leave the mansion with Chris, Jill, Rebecca, and Barry.

>>713075436
People have said they like peanut butter sandwiches instead of PB&J so you should go make a thread about that too

>>713074896 (OP)
idk man if someone says "I beat resident evil 1!" and your first instinct is to ask "DID YOU PLAY AS CHRIS", you might just be a gigantic unlikable faggot

>>713074896 (OP)
Jill has Barry and the grenade launcher, its the more fun playthrough regardless of difficulty

>>713074896 (OP)
If you didn't beat the original western release, in which enemies deal and tank more damage, no autoaim and Jill using ink ribbons to save, you didn't beat the game. The gog and rebirth versions are based on the jap version which is so easy you might as well just watch someone else play it. Also you need to get best ending for both characters for it count as beating the game.

>>713075505
That's not video games.

>>713074896 (OP)
playing as a man in videogames is gay.

>>713075457
Yeah but if you only play with either, you won't even meet some of them. Same in 2 with Sherry and Ada.

>>713075787
>You dont meet Sherry.
Wrong, you both get radio contacted by Claire about getting Sherry out of there when shes infected, but also meet her on the train, and even meet her in the police department when she runs away from you.

Claire never meets Ada, true, but Ada is also presumed dead from either the fall, or being injured from the Tyrant.

While in RE1 only one chopper comes to help you escape before the mansion blows up.

This was a missed opportunity the RE1 Remake could have fixed but it didn't.

>>713075896
>Claire never meets Ada

Kinda makes me wish the series ended at RE2 because we could maybe say Leon imagined her.

>>713075974
I wish it had ended at 2 because it was the last good one.

>RE3 is only good in gameplay alone.
>RE4 is turbo ass.
>RE5 is only tolerable because Sheva gave me a ooga booga bonner.
>RE6 WHO
>RE7 into the trash it first person goes.
>RE8 only enjoyable because mamma mia look at them TIDDIES
>RE9 is straight into the trash.

The series really did end with the city nuke.

>>713076080
>>RE5 is only tolerable because Sheva gave me a ooga booga bonner.

I like it as the concluding chapter to the Wesker trilogy that ran from RE1, Code Veronica and then RE5

>>713075429
Same, even looking at OP's screenshot makes me want to replay it. Shame I'm at work

>playing as the girl
everyone knows you are gay

>>713076163
I don't considering it turned the T virus into a power up drink.
>Hey if you spread this shit, it turns people into zombies because the virus causes the cells to keep dividing over and over again and consuming the subject at the cellular level so eventually it becomes mindless devouring machine trying to keep up with the energy input output.
T Virus was scary as fuck at this point.
>We took pregnant women, injected the fetus, and let it rip out of them to make killer roaches!

Which turned into.
>I took the Virus and now my eyes glow red and also I have super human speed and strength!

I liked the series most when the Virus was just a means to create biological warfare and clean out cities without bombs.

Then it goes to shit really when you play 3 and see Nemesis "as cool as he is" and then find out Umbrella Europe is at odds with the other branches and making their own moves which results in RE4.

>>713074991
The only positive Chris has is that he can take more hits than Jill. All the rest is in Jill's favor.

And people misunderstand why Jill means "Easy". It's not just because you get more powerful weapons way earlier or she has more inventory space, but because Barry will save her in quite a few places as well. You can play it in a way so Barry never saves you, but you have to go way out of the intended path for that to happen.

Some trivia, but did you know that there are alternate cutscenes if you don't get Richard's radio before going to the Courtyard? If you don't get it by then, Rebecca will come and give Chris the radio, saying Brad is trying to contact them.

>>713076387
>and then find out Umbrella Europe is at odds with the other branches
But that was great, it elevated Umbrella above your bog standard "muahahahah we're going to bring on the apocalypse just because" organizations and underlines that the BOW shit is just business in the world of RE.

>>713074896 (OP)
I'm a zoomer who's playing OG RE1 for the first time. Should I take the Chris pill for the true gamer experience?

>>713076848
No it was bad because it gave raise to the shit we got in 4 and 5, especially 5 which turned into.
>I wanted to live forever so I cloned myself and made the Wesker bunch oh and the virus comes from a flower.

It should have been left alone at Umbrella, a bioweapon to be used by the military and that's it, along with "hey we put the T virus into a frog and it turned it into a big ass monster!"

>>713076910
Chris unironically has less content and could technically be considered less canon

>>713076910
Christ is made for a replay he's also easier cause he's stronger

>>713074896 (OP)
chris? i didnt even figh the tyrant in the end lol, I just noped and got out that mansion as soon as possible

>>713075206
>Ya well he fucking has to considering his SHIT GUN sucks dicks compared to the fucking bazooka when it comes to hunters!
Hunters only really take a few Shotgun blasts to obliterate, and are easy enough to deal with that you can honestly get away with magdumping your Handgun into, even when they're deliberately placed in tight hallways. Any issues with this strategy is also alleviated by the fact that you're coming back from the Guardhouse when you encounter Hunters, and you can honestly just shoot everything in there and still come back with 100+ HG Rounds and dozens of Shotgun Shells--and from that point on, you get enough from the Basement to easily top up whatever you spend.

Honestly, RE1 in general is so easy that the differences are negligible, and it only got easier from there. I don't see how people make this one of their gamer purity tests, even when accounting for the various niche versions of RE that do things like make Hunters just a smidge more resilient

>>713074896 (OP)
I beat it as Chris because of course I did like 99.9% of kids, what kind of fag picks the girl in a game about guns and zombies?

>>713074896 (OP)
I played both to hell and back and then chipped my PS1 and used a little spring to hold the button down in the disk tray so the game was held in suspended animation and the disc could be swapped, so I could edit the game and play through custom playthroughs as Wesker, Barry and Rebecca
Modding games was a bitch back in the 90s

>>713074896 (OP)
THERE ARE NO DOWNSIDES TO PLAYING JILL IN THE GOG / REBIRTH VERSION. THEY ARE BASED ON THE JAPANESE VERSIONS IN WHICH ENEMIES DEAL LESS DAMAGE SO IT CANCELS OUT JILL'S "LOWER HP". YOU FAKE FAN FUCKS. HE IS RIGHT, YOU DIDN'T BEAT THE GAME

I didn't beat it as either character because it's a boring game ripping off Alone in the Dark
RE2 and RE3 are the only good REs

>>713076962
>it gave raise to the shit we got in 4 and 5
That would be CV with its change of direction towards saturday morning cartoon villains trying to take over the world and turning Wesker into an edgy animu antagonist on superman juice.

>>713078121
Ya know, you are right.

I keep forgetting about that hunk of fucking shit, but also Gun survivor did that too on the PS1.

>>713077703
Stop yelling!

>>713075206
>Jill is pure eZ mode
Glad you acknowledged that you casual faggot.
>Waaah chris is big doo doo head he is too hard for me, i'll keep playing as a girl ..f-for the outfits you understand right, i-i just don't want to look at man ass as I p-play ..haha yeah.

>>713079404
That's not the point of his post

>>713075130
It's one of the OG versions greatest virtues. It's really fun to do reruns. Whenever I go back and play it, I always find myself doing 3 or 4 runs, just because once you relearn the layout, it's just so fun and brisk to run through it in an hour and a half.

>posting the deprecated ps1 version when it has been superseded by the gamecube remake

>>713079404
>Implying I am complaining.
I only play as Chris.
I play knife only and save the pistol ammo for Tyrant and speedrun the game.

To me, the whole fucking game is easy now you shit dick.

>not playing the game with both
>>713079404
i doubt anyone who played re original back in the day used to think the whole "i dont want to look at a guy ass" only for the graphics you know

>>713075896
If you play Leon A you don’t know sherry exists until train at very end of game. You only see Sherry as Leon in Leon B, which means you initially picked Claire.

>>713079938
everything is easy if you play it 500 times
nta anyway
>speedrunning
so you are a tranny

>>713079657
Are you saying that the Remake isn't as fun to do reruns in?

I totally agree with you if that is the case, but I can't really articulate it myself. It is just a feeling that I get from REmake which makes it less fun to play.

What are your ideas on this?

>picking the guy
gayyyyyy

Neither mode is hard. The REmake on the other hand...

>>713074896 (OP)
>Shartroon didnt play the game at all

OP is possibly a cock gargling s0lteen who didn't even beat hexen either.
