What is the /vr/ consensus on Code Veronica?

I'm getting tired of these Code Veronica threads, the consensus is that it's one of the worst mainline RE games

>>11909616 (OP)
I blame the Dreamcast for this game being so unimpressive.
Just look at RE0 and Remake for the Gamecube.

>>11909616 (OP)
garbage, good thing it wasn't named RE3 as it was planned

>>11909643
Hey Mr Zoomer, CV was hugely impressive at the time of its release. The first scene inside the jail when the lighter lit up and revealed Claire's face was like, "WHOA, this is real graphics??"
Zoomer. The game got great reviews too. This is how it was in 2000, no revisionism added.

>>11909616 (OP)
I played it in January February and enjoyed the absolute shit out of it. First time playing too. Forgot the fire extinguisher. There was a few things like that. Like oh you didnt transfer the weapon to Chris or you forgot something. I also didnt realize the entire second half of the game you'd play as chris. I had a lot of fun. The knife was actually useful which was crazy. Great time would play again

>>11909652
>The game got great reviews too
CV having a metascore of 94 is just bizarre. Did everyone just decide to collectively pretend that it's one of the best games of its generation?

It's shit.
>have to defend the Dreamcast
i-i mean it is underrated... it's great..

I love the crossdressing tranny villain, the player character even referrs to xher as a freak. Very 2000's experience, fun enjoyable game. Remake is better of course but that came 3 years later for a much more powerful platform.

We have a Code Veronica thread already

Good game. Really enjoyed it when Umbrella were the villains before they were unalived off screen after 4 mainline games and a series of spinoffs.

>>11909616 (OP)
I've played it on GC for the first time a while ago and didn't enjoy it much. The setting and map don't feel cohesive at all, something very strong on previous RE titles. The dialogues and characters are meh.

I do concede it's great Capcom wanted to explore European style for art direction, and all the way from the guillotine to the underground is one of my favourites sections in any horror game.

>>11909616 (OP)
It's a masterpiece, consensus be damned

>>11909668
Nobody knew what a next gen game even was until Gran Turismo 3 and GTA 3 and MGS2 came out. All the "killer apps" from 1999-2001 on PS2/DC are like this. Basically late PS1 games with slightly better graphics. Stuff like Dark Cloud and Code Veronica and Silent Hill 2 and Twisted Metal Black and Onimusha. By like 2004, if you were releasing a game that played the way Onimusha/CV played no one was going to buy it, but it wasn't like that at first because we were all so impressed by the graphics.

DC and PS2 were BIG graphical jumps over what we were used to. Saturn/PS1 were 1994 hardware, and N64 had such ugly textures, it was almost like we jumped 2 generations in graphics at once.

>>11909616 (OP)
Better than Resident Evil 3 Nemesis. Although some parts annoyed me(the more difficult parts), but I did enjoy this game for what it was. It is my third favorite classic RE game. Ahead of RE3, but behind RE1 and RE2. I consider REmake 1 part of the newer RE games, alongside REmake 2 and REmake 3. Don't care for the rest of the series.

>>11910331
Well, the RE universe is dynamic; we really have lived through thirty years of bio-organic world war over the course of the series.
>Off-camera
I will grant you, but Umbrella getting btfo'd by the good goy- I mean guys- and summarily splintering into isolated pockets of captain planet villainy makes perfect sense.

i didn't really care for it, and i really like RE 1-3. graphically, even though it's higher resolution with higher fidelity textures, i think it looks a whole lot uglier than classic RE, with the exception of RE1, maybe.

>>11909616 (OP)
What's the best version of this? I have heard GC.

>>11910610
>By like 2004, if you were releasing a game that played the way Onimusha/CV played no one was going to buy it
Yeah that shit's crazy, I struggle to name a more short-lived type of game
>>11910765
>i think it looks a whole lot uglier than classic RE
They went for full 3D and prerendered backgrounds are pretty hard to beat, especially when we are talking about games like RE2-3 and Onimusha 1-2

There is only one game I felt buyer remorse for, only one game I truly hate, and that's Code Veronica. I could write a fucking youtube essay on everything wrong with this piece of shit.
Back when AVGN was new and destroying games was funny and cool I used to dream of collectiong every copy of CV in the world and destroying them in a giant fire.

>>11909616 (OP)
It is good but you have to be conservative with ammo in that game.

The hate feels so fake it's not even funny.

>>11909616 (OP)
There is none, just like every other RE game. I personally hate it, but only for the story being one of the worst in the series, the gameplay of it is fine. X somehow made the already terrible story even worse too.
>>11909652
I hate how correct you are because I remember at the time having pretty much that exact reaction. Then, once I met Steve and Alfred, all the excitement drained from my soul. Really sucks too because visually I liked CV more than REmake or 0.

shitty caca
no female zombies
and the list goes on

>>11911569
You just didn't get far enough to unlock the booba

>>11909616 (OP)
It's fine for what it is: An actual Resident Evil game. The hate for it here comes from contrarian retards.

>>11911623
Looks like Poison Ivy.

>>11909616 (OP)
Fine and fun but flawed.

>>11909616 (OP)
Probably worse.
Issue is it doesnt have a genre defining monster.
1 had Hunters, 3 has Lickers, 3 had Nemesis.
CV had long arms guy....
Really?

>>11915448
>CV had long arms guy....
Poor guy. He thought CV was gonna be his big break after Return of the Living Dead 3 flopped.

>>11911520
Doing a few searches, it seems like all the other sites cry that this game is too hard and they get stuck on bosses and can't beat the game even using a guide. So they claim it is bad game design and wasn't playtested...

>>11912998
lol nah

>>11909616 (OP)
The final Resident Evil game.

>>11909616 (OP)
I have never played a resident evil game so I have no opinion

>>11915669
The first game I bought with my PlayStation was Resident Evil Directors Cut instead of Final Fantasy 7. Which was the second game I bought a couple weeks later.

>>11915525
Wow he does look similar.
Maybe if he looked like this over an skinny Big Bird it would have hit.

>>11909616 (OP)
>What is the /vr/ consensus on Code Veronica?

Is trash:

- There are no female zombies.I expected to see some female zombies prisoners with big breasts and big butts wearing worn out prisoners suits in the prison area but no. Also, i expeted some female zombies wearing military uniform with skirts in the palace area and the military area but again no luck.

- After beating the game i expected to get as a reward a infinite machine gun or a infinite rifle from the start of a new game, but the only reward(besides the mercenaries mode) is a slow infinite rocket launcher and you ONLY get in it if you get the best score(is that a joke?).

>no turning animation

This tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the game if they can't even get the most simple thing right.

>>11916268
What do you expect? Code Veronica was released before the PS2, that's how old it is.

>>11916770

>>11911498
the thousand cock stare...

>>11917010
*Sucks internally

>>11909616 (OP)
The last surviving strain of T-Veronica virus in your body. I want it..... NOW! *sticks hand out*

>>11909616 (OP)
code: veronica discussion is played out. Now what does /vr/ think of this?

>>11910726
>Better than Resident Evil 3 Nemesis.

HA. No

>>11916268
CV also just has one canned animation for zombies dying no matter how you kill them. They fall to their knees and faceplant on the ground every single time.

>>11910331
>before they were unalived
Christ, this board is more zoomer-fied than /v/

>>11911569
>names literally one trivial issue
>"and the list goes on"
kek

>>11911623
She is not a female zombie.

>>11915669
Same here until last month. So I had played RE 1 hd and now became hooked to the series. Now I'm playing the Gog version of 2.

>>11909660
>I also didnt realize the entire second half of the game you'd play as chris
More like 25-33%.

>The knife was actually useful which was crazy
KNIFE STRONK

>>11909616 (OP)
For a long time, I thought Claire's name was Veronica after seeing this game in magazines.

>>11918284
I skipped that one because it didn't even look like a full fledged video game

>>11909670
>have to defend the Dreamcast

no you dont, the game is literally on ps2 and gamecube lmao

>>11909616 (OP)
Claire segment is awesome and is every bit as good as the PS1 trilogy. The Chris part is just shit.

>>11909616 (OP)
It was the first classic RE game I played and I loved it. The fact that it’s popularly regarded as being the worst in the series is completely absurd to me. Even that cringeworthy idiot Steve couldn’t ruin it for me.

>>11920696
No but she is a BOW with boobies.

>>11909616 (OP)
there is no consensus, you hivemind turbosperg. code veronica is one pf the best re games and has the best soundtrack

>>11919284
nemesis is a cheap, short companion to 2. code veronica is the true sequel to 2 and three times the game that nemesis is

>>11909616 (OP)
I had it for GameCube and only played it after 4 came out. I liked the return to the re1 style of play. Story was typical re stuff. Overall I thought it was perfectly fine.

>>11922378
This is how I felt. I went from PlayStation to Dreamcast.

>>11919284
You can deny it all you want, but Code Veronica is a much better game.

>>11922214
Still, does not count as a female zombie. By the way, her "tits" are flat as hell.

>>11923154
Delusional.

i played it on the dreamcast and didnt like it. never finished it. only got maybe 1 or 2 hours in. just didnt feel like re. the graphics were good on a technical level but the full 3d just gave it this cartoony vibe that was antithetical to what i considered to be resident evil. might revisit it at some point

>>11919351
Damn, we need videos on that but I really do not want to play this shitty game again

do characters even have idle animations in CV as well? I'm sure we can find out more.

>>11923662
>just didnt feel like re
It mast have been a real shock coming from Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 to go play CV.

>>11918284
Never played it but loved the original Survivor.

>>11909616 (OP)
code veronica is wonderful, loved it and played it when it premiered on dreamcast
here's my tier list of re games I've loved
>re4 > re 1 > code veronica

>>11922940
Is it really?
It just feels longer.
I like 3 more because of the following:
>Better NG+ where you get a bunch of new outfits, ending cards for characters.
>The gunpowder mixing mechanic which adds more strategy to the mix by letting you create ammo to adjust to your playstyle.
>Several choices that allow you to mostly change how a few events play out later like where Nemesis will spawn next.
>Nemesis himself adds a nice challenge where he rewards you with parts for 2 new weapons and a single space 3 first aid case.
>It debuts Mercenaries mode whichbis probably one of the biggest contributions to the series (2 has a similar mode but that was hidden behind gameshark shenanigans).
CV just feels more basic in comparison.

>>11909616 (OP)
one of the best in the series, equal to 2. it has the longest, most satisfying story of any of the classic tank re games, and the best music in the series.

>>11924924
>posts sick based Steve webm
>puts cringe in filename
damn, you got us

>>11924451
The gunpowder mixing mechanic? LOL That is a fucking waste of time and one of the worst parts about this game. Nemesis constantly chasing you throughout the game doesn't make things any better. You basically need a Game Shark to get any enjoyment out of this game. Whereas Code Veronica had a great balance and felt like a true sequel to Resident Evil 2.

>>11925075
>true sequel to Resident Evil 2.
because it actually was developed as such and is in fact the true sequel.

>>11925105
bait used to be subtle

>>11925125
look it up, you absolute retard. claire redfield is the main character of code veronica, continuing her story from 2. nemesis is a side quest. code veronica is a direct sequel to 2, in development in 1998 and promoted as the true sequel to 2. you can’t erase history. come out of your delusional bubble. this board has told you lies for years

>>11924924
Kek, based. Ya just gotta love the Stevemeister, ya just GOTTA

>>11925075
I momentarily envisioned some parallel universe where Code Veronica is called RE3 and RE3 is called Code Jill.

>>11924924
I don't know why people bitch about 4 when le classic RE had shit like this. The only difference is you actually get to do stunts like this in 4 vs. watching it in a cutscene.

>>11925231
CV was about Jill fighting Nazis for a decent chunk of development. It was rewritten and Claire was swapped in after that line about looking for her brother at the end of 2.

>>11925075
Yeah I loved the gunpowder mechanic.
Its actually very feasible to kill Nemesis for the most part.
He is relatively easy to kill with the correct use of the gunpowder and making a few choices that allows you to take half his health like the Clock Tower or the Dining Room.
And he doesn't chase you that much.
I recently as of last year played CV and I wasn't very impressed. But dope to see Chris and Wesker.

>>11925326
I mean thats nothing compared to the Laser room.
Leon is inhuman.

>>11915525

For a second i thought that ugly zombie was the mad scientist from the 80s movie of the fly.

>>11925105
True. That's why I favor Code Veronica more than RE3 Nemesis.

>>11925231
I can imagine that.

>>11925343
To each their own.

>>11924924
I love the matrix too, 1999 was really wild.

>>11924924
The animations are so bad in this game.

And it's not just that, that's just one part of the game that sucks.
People who enjoy Code Veronica... that really taught me how a lot of people have shallow superficial taste.

>>11924924
The series started off with gun autists on the team demanding that they use real world guns with realistic capacities. Then by CV you've got this fag unloading 50 rounds from a pair of handguns that hold 8 rounds each.

>>11925326
CV is not "classic RE", it was the beginning of the end.

>>11929529
The devs of CV were too busy adding in what they thought was "cool", that being the cringest trends of the time period, which is another big miss. Previous RE games were about taking from all time classic movies, instead CV takes from what was "cool" at the time, which means no perspective in knowing how long the stuff would remain "cool".

>>11909616 (OP)
>carrier
>d2
>blue stinger
>dino crisis

Maybe not even one of the top 5 dreamcast horror games.

>>11929680
Nope, that's RE4.

>>11930182
very few games, but at least something.

>>11931956
Even as a huge Raimi and Evil Dead fan I have not played that game. Is it actually really good? Also, I have not played Ring either

>>11929687
Good insight, but I also want to add that these guys always loved just being B-movie tier or ridiculous just for the sake of it and CV ended up as a side-game so they took some liberties, same as Twin Snakes took some liberties using the director of Versus who made waves for doing Sam Raimi style over-the-top and intentionally ridiculous stuff

>>11909616 (OP)
I hate the mansion
