Have you started playing yet? If you have, let me know what you think about how RE3 stacks up against last year's RE2. I personally really liked both for completely different reasons. *Boomstick Gaming is a safe haven for gamers who value game mechanics and systems, because that’s what makes anything from 8-bit to 8k, equally enjoyable.* *Thanks for taking out some time to watch this. I appreciate that!* - Alex
Boomstick Gaming I’d say that it’s even better. With RE2, I’d have to play both campaigns to feel as if I’m getting a full game. Here, I can play this in an afternoon, and still feel like I’m getting a complete story. The difficulty levels also add a lot of replayability. Nightmare mode honestly feels like RE1’s arranged mode with the ridiculous difficulty level and giant array of enemies.
I think it's not as complete as REmake 2. What's there is all great but there simply isn't enough of it, the game s too short with too much cut content from the original. I can't help but feel they kind of waste a golden opportunity to play around in REs best and most iconic setting. They actually cut as much content as i thought they were going to add, the original was so short already. Where is the park and clock tower? Why doesn't Jill go to the RPD? I was looking forward to hearing her comments on the S.T.A.R.S office. Why is the trek from Jill's apartment to meeting the UBCS a single setpiece when it accounted for an hour of gameplay before? Some times the game is even egregious about the cut content like Carlos's journey to the hospital gets replaced with a "half a day later" title card. What is this, Spongebob Squarepants? He could have gone through the park. How cool would it have been to see a forested area in the middle of the night in this graphics engine? You put some hunters in there and that's guaranteed tension. Nemesis also mutates into the dog thing too early and they BUTCHERED Jill's iconic final words to it. That's all my major complaints, still a good game but i wanted more. I prefer the story elements and characterisation as well as the gameplay in this one for sure (though nemesis is too easy to drop), I'd recommend it over the original to new players for this alone, what they don't know is missing can't hurt them i guess.
One more tiny thing. When you find an upgrade, do not rush to stick it to your gun. Deplete your current magazine first(not fully ofc). Upgrading any gun will give you free clip of amunition.
Is it really true? I haven't played RE3Remake yet, but in RE2Remake, that exploit doesn't work on Leon's gun magazine upgrade, it CORRECTLY adds up the current bullets you have in the gun with the bullets contained in the magazine upgrade.
I'm so glad someone finally can explain the dodge mechanic properly. Too many people just give general tips that don't really give too much intuition of it works or when you can do it, the degree angle is so useful so thanks for being the most useful guide I found so far.
trying to learn to dodge in this game is literally the most miserable and frustrating thing in any single player game I've played in the past 10 years.
I have no idea why everyone is bitching about this game. I think it’s great fun and compliments RE2. The environments are well designed. I’ve been playing RE since 98 and this a superb title.
Well because it’s simply 3rd person shooter. Re2r was survival horror. Different kind of game to me. Plus graphics are downgraded low poly zombies, missing shadows here and there and no more realistic zombie damage. Big minus for myself.
Agreed, I'm loving this game too, and find it more replayable than the original Resident Evil 3. I do wish they at least remade the entire Clock Tower section or extended the length of the game itself, but overall it's a great game.
I just wish that you got the play as Carlos a 3rd time when he runs off after the hospital, or even when he’s clearing the rubble off the train tracks. I bet they could of made a creepy part out of that. Is a top game though.
That 45 degree angle point for dodging was so freaking helpful. I’m dodging so much better now. I was simply going 180 degree to the left or right or just going backwards previously and only getting it maybe 33% of the time. I was so ridiculously frustrated and didn’t think I could possibly suck that bad because my timing seemed on point. Now it’s 80% or more I’m successfully dodging. Thanks!
You can use Carlos' shoulder check to keep knocking zombies back onto the floor. This is useful if you find one alone on the ground; just knife it 3-5 times, then press the dodge button to knock it back down, repeat until it is down for good.
A good tip i picked up that applies to this as well as RE2R is to use gunpowder strictly for shotgun shells. The SG's extremely useful for clearing zombies from your path with it's one-headshot instant kill
Kyle Shipley It’s great against the Hunters as well. Dealing with those things with Carlos is such a pain in the ass on Hardcore. Luckily grenades one hit them.
Yeah its wide range and zombie yeeting power is all you can ask for. Wish there was an infinite shotgun or something like the final shotgun in re4 with 100 Rnd mags
I notice, also, that when swiping with the knife, you can cut and hold back to immediately move backward after your swing. A minor detail, but helpful at times
An alternative to dealing with Lickers: just walk past them slowly. I did try to stun lock the Lickers with the knife, but that's been "fixed" for RE3R.
I tried that in this installment but I found out you dont have that much room with Carlos most of the time to pull it off. I just stun him or straight up run away or kill it.
Abuse AI path finding, some enemies cannot enter certain area, lickers cannot climb stairs. Any time you enter and area they can't go into their AI resets. Lol it's so broken sometime.
When you use a grenade launcher and want to switch the ammo type but dont want to deal with the long reloading time. Switch the weapon and switch back and it'll be filled with that ammo type without having to go through the reloading animation.

@@_Circus_Clapped_ i think your method will help the ones who trying to get the platinum but the video explain how to improve as player with no shop's items
I completely avoided using flame rounds on nemesis, because he was completely resistant to all that fire in the boss fight, i assumed fire didnt work on him. The explosive grenades were really useful during boss fights and against those face hugger looking zombies. One shot will kill one or 2, while the falame and acid didnt do shit, and it is hard to shoot them before they close there face.
Knife parrying: When a zombie lunges at you, hold down left trigger (L2) and quickly tap back on analog and right trigger (R2). This performs a quick knife attack followed by a back step and staggers the zombie for about 2.5 seconds. *Knife must be equipped Also remember that the zombie's hitbox (when standing) isn't its hands or arms, it's their CHEST. So time escapes/parries by that.
The SWAT peek is super useful for the 2 hunters in the hospital room with the recording, especially on higher difficulties, you can chip away and let the door shut when they attack
Fantastic video. Just one slight amendment: blue coloured rooms do not mean you have 'completely found everything', rather, you have found all usable items. Charlie heads or documents will not affect the colour of the room, so some further searching may be required.
The Carlos's punch came quite in handy when trying to evade the Lickers and Hunter Betas. Haven't been able to evade successfully and go into slow mo yet, but the angle tip you shared should make it easier to dodge.
@@raulrojas9253 here's the thing, infinite ammo doesn't stop you from earning trophies. So I can just go in and kill everything with the rocket launcher.
@@Hinokassaudifan1 You can cheat or use a trainer (on PC) to beat any game without doing anything. If that's fun for you then knock yourself out, play the game however you want to, I am no one to tell you otherwise. But for me, all the fun is in overcoming the challenge set by the game by finding a way to beat it and getting good at it, I would rather do something else than play a game with cheats because that's no fun at all at least for me.
@@panic_diver he isnt talking about modding or using a trainer hes talking about the unlockable in the game that you get after u beat the game it's something you can buy from the store with a certain gun you have points for
The peak a boo trick always helps when there are to many enemies in one room. I found it super useful when you are playing a Carlos and come across the hospital room with two hunters guarding the cassette. Opened the door a bit and tossed a flash bang and a grenade and cleared the room in a few seconds.
The subway station and town landscape, the explosion and chaos going around, the cutscene-ish sequence (like running away from nemesis in the flaming building), the dodge and counter etc..... the remake keeps reminding me of RE6....
Also, if you stab at a zombie and it seems like its dead it still might not be dead, it's just not activated yet because you havent received the item to trigger it. Like the dead cop on the stretcher outside the subway station control center or the fat zombie by the safe upstairs from the subway control station.
amazing tips indeed , i know some of them but the ones with SWAT style door peeking and the evade timing were new for me , i always see people get that "poof" effect of evading and i was thinking that i never got to experience that in my entire playthrough , will be implementing your tips in my next playthrough, thank you !
One minor tip I found b accident regarding the "farming" challenges: the Raiden (if you got it early on) counts towards the MAG kills. Just mentioning out for any1 that is too lazy to do 50 runs with the MAG in the lab killing paleheads
Not great at aiming so paleheads are a threat to me. I farmed the zombie crates that spawns 1 gamma and 5-6 zombies for mags. Normal zombs die most of the time even without a headshot. This is a short time after meeting Nikolai looking down on you and a few moments after the first palehead drops. Save before triggering the gamma crate and zombie crate.
Neat little thing when Nikolai is looking down at you. I do it before hopping down, but if you take aim for his head and take a shot at Nikolai, he'll switch his stance and lean to the right. Just thought that was a neat little detail
I use Carlos' punching to keep zombies down and kill them with the knife. If you use it when they start getting up it'll put them right back down and you can get another few swipes before using it again. Also, if they don't use this mechanic for Chris in future games I'm gonna be pissed.
Bonus tip: you don't actually need to counter an enemy with Carlo's R1 to get the punch. There's a specific timing to trigger it and let you enter bullet time if it connects if you press R1 right before the shoulder check animation ends.
Well yea that's just like Jill's perfect dodge, it automatically points at the enemy's weak point and goes in slow motion for about 2 seconds. Rewarding an easy kill.
Thanks for the video. I didn't realize you can counter punch. At first I didn't like this game as much as last years remake. I've since changed my mind and now have beaten it four times. It has greater replay appeal for me. Graphics are top notch and facial expressions are spot on.
Beating the game the first time unlocks an ingame store you can earn points for, I recommend the infinite ammo pistol as a first purchase as beating the game on medium gave me just enough points for it.
I would like to say that with Carlos, you can use the basic dodge (the shoulder attack) when you are knifing a zombie that is getting up to make it go to the ground and reset its animation, so you can keep knifing it until it dies (be aware that if they get up to a certain point, they can launch at you, so dont wait too much to make the shoulder attack)
What was the deal with the green writing in The Nest folder? Was it to tell you the MAG was for Pale Heads, or something to do with the RailGun? Didn't get that as it seemed not to be tied with the nearly nonexistent puzzles I don't think it was a clue on the MAG location as I was way past that point. (Man, getting up there to drop down to get the MAG was wracking my brain. Guess thats what happens when puzzles/mechanics are only used once with no hint involved, I.E. needing Jill to crawl under the rubble). I could be wrong about all this as it was my 1st playthrough, going for 2nd now. I have no interest for REsistance, and I think they ROYALLY screwed up with scrapping Mercenaries, I would love to play as Mikhail. He was very badass Rambo esque in the Remake! If the Remake hadn't cut content/locations, hadn't recycled most weapons and included new ones and more selections, and above all included Mercenaries, I believe we would have had an atleast 9/10 on our hands. The game would have been better if it was made by the team behind RE2 Remake and not the mishmash of Ex Platinum and Capcom employees. And no you can't tell me the other team only worked on Resistance. If that's the case why are their names included in the RE3 credits? And the RE3 controls and gameplay are nowhere near as crisp as RE2, plus most of the lip-synching is god awful. I still love this game, but I wish they took the time and team it needed to make it a masterpiece on par with REmake 2. (Not that REmake 2 couldn't have used some extra care and attention also. ) I hope this doesn't follow the trend of histories past. A few good/great games followed by a trend of ever decreasing diminishing returns. Not that I still don't love the Resident Evil series. Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Twisted Metal III (Not really Twisted Metal anymore , tht fell into obscurity. But DAMN! TW III's soundtrack was epic,especially for the day. Rob Zombie tunes in a PS1 game about cars fighting with machine guns and r missiles? YES PLEASE!!! Those games were the reasons I bought a PSOne in 1998 and have been a PlayStation only fan since. (I still play others, but they are only the the older "GOOD" systems. NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, (I only it bought for RE4 which is a moot point now. But I love Zelda Twilight Princess which may be blasphemy,cause I think I like it more than Ocarina of Time.) And I think that may be it, I'm not a PC guy. I might have bought a few of those cheap one off sytems you plug into your tv to play bowling of tennis or something. Maybe I'll get one of those systems with 1000's of modded games on it for party gaming. Never really got into Wii or the like, i'm more into gaming with a conventional controller. Maybe when VR catches up.
Thank you for the tips Alex! Especially on the timing to pull off evading. Other videos would simply say "It'll take time to master," and so forth, but they wouldn't go into the specifics on how to time the movements.
@Boomstick Gaming, Alex, You can knife parry. Knife attack and hit away on the control stick at the same time and Jill will stab then step back. If this is done to an attacking zombie it will parry the attack, Jill will take no damage and it will cancel the zombies attack.
Tip for dealing with alpha zombies (the standard ones that get upgraded with a leech-like mouth on their heads). If they are blocking your headshots, shoot them in the leg once to stun them and finish off with some headshots
I was already doing these except for the dodges, helped a lot on my first playthrough. I thought I was so scaredy disciplined to do it, but didn't know it was part of the game lol.. "Open door --> aim, open door --->" lol..
When you play swat style with a Infinite ammo rocket launcher, just priceless. Also very satisfying seeing him doge nemi, then proceed to stab him in the face like nothing.
btw, if you right click just before the timing for a perfect dodge you can just slide past enemies, it looks like a glitch. dodge is also bound to the aim button so its related to the dodge.
I recommend farming weapon kills and buying the rocket launcher with your points for the nightmare and inferno difficulties. Youll get slapped on the final boss without it Another tip is when you get punched for knocked down you can mash any button/key to get up faster
Brandon S doing an inferno run now with only all the coins an a handgun the coins increase my healing/attack/and defense and the handgun kills anything on nightmare/inferno with three to four shots that’s how useful the coins are and with the recovery coins I never have to use a first aid spray too easy
Joshua Fallet I told you even on inferno it’s ridiculous with all the coins most zombies fall with two shots to the head lol and even most lickers die with a few shots and a Carlos punch I straight up killed a hunter beta with a punch to the face lol
@@arkiljohnson668 lol I gotcha, thanks m saying knife runs are crazy now too is all. Perfect dodge knife counters are one shot kills. You can even knock down nemesis with the technique.
I stayed up at 5am trying to beat that slap face of a nemesis I found a strategy but it helps a little bit but damn I still died a lot I was trying to complete the jill Valentine Challenge and I failed I got an A
Crazy i just started getting used to the dodge mechanic too. Earlier i was fed up with the hunter betas insta-killing me in the hospital as carlos so i decided to whip out my Zed-Sticker and bully them back and show them whos the real Hunter Alpha by giving them a taste of their own slashy stabby medicine. Well i can now say it's so much more satisfying to beat the undead hell out of the lizard freaks without even getting tore up. Im not spending another bullet on the "miniboss" zomboids ever again unless i have to lol
Heres a good way to gain points for the store while working to unlocking the higher difficulties, so that its easier to get through the higher ones with upgrades. watch your progress on weapon challenges and try not to finish zombies with the knife. If they are down, stab them a few times, but let them get up so you can finish them with the pistol/rifle. There is oddly no challenge for killing with the knife. There is plenty of ammo on standard and hardcore, and I had like 45 shotgun rounds left over at the final boss, after I killed everything on my first standard run. This will make it easier on the next runs.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this so i'll just point it out If you're trying to dodge the parasite's tentacle, the easiest way to dodge is by its sound que. There's a wind up sound before the tentacle does its attack. It can be pretty hard to learn but its easier than just guessing if the tentacle is about to attack.
Put the lockpick on the first slot for quick use. Also healing items closer to the start position. You can put weapons off to the side in the inventory since you wont really interact with em in inventory. Also you can spoof nemesis by hanging out in a saferoom door and bouncing in and out
I don't know how much this will help. But one trick I've seen to have worked for me a lot is to open a door a little quickly then run from it in case a zombie is directly on the other side and you can't ambush them. The quick run to the door and back just verifies there's no nasty surprises waiting for you, that's something I fell victim whilst playing RE2 so much...
1:59 Carlos punched a licker on the brain, shot it a bunch, and when it had the AUDACITY not to die, he punched it again... Poor skinless thing just felt how it's like to be in a survival horror...
Dodging can be a real pain as the window for it is quite tight. Many times I've dodged a zombie only for it to somehow still get hold of me. I wouldn't mind so much but it's a guaranteed loss of health each time. I started doing what you mentioned as your second dodge, which is just far more effective. The SWAT peak can screw you over though. There's a room around the middle of the game with two hunters in. If you peak in they will hang around by the door making it very difficult to attack them because as soon as you push the door open, even a little and go to attack, they get the jump on you very quickly. You can't dodge back and attack because the door swings closed before you can get more than a couple of shots in. It's actually better to just charge right in.
This happened to me, but you can actually fix that easilly. Just go out of the room and go back to the previous one (where you could see the hunters trough a large window) and that will make them go back to their initial position. My advice would be : open the door while looking a bit to the left and throw a grenade, this will instantly kill both. I think it is worth it, it's the smallest room where you will be facing 2 hunters.
Another tip is too save a red barrel or two. They also put nemesis down in one shot and saving a grenade for a boss fight helps in the long run. Plus you can just dodge around most zombies, then use the barrel to kill some zombies and down Nemy.
Dude i just platinumed the game and i learned Carlos punch can throback multiple enemies and can be used on Lickers. Also it's that easy to put Nemesis down wow, i just dodged every attack melee, rpg or that tongue grab. I wish i had seen this sooner
Theres one late game useful tip. Spoiler - Use the magnum to one shot the pale ones in the head. They regen as you shoot them with a pistol, shotgun, AR, but the magnum is really good.
Not really a spoiler if you played The Runaway mode in RE2 Remastered. There's a note at the very start of that mode that outright tells you to do that.
Another tip is not using a green herb alone. Also using three green herbs is a waste, since that would make a red one useless. Also save the gun powders for shotgun shells. There are plenty of boxed handgun ammos to find
Similar to RE2R, If you happen to skip or miss the Shotgun and/or Grenade Launcher where they naturally appear the game, they both show up at the save point before the clocktower.
Have you started playing yet? If you have, let me know what you think about how RE3 stacks up against last year's RE2. I personally really liked both for completely different reasons.

When you find an upgrade, do not rush to stick it to your gun. Deplete your current magazine first(not fully ofc). Upgrading any gun will give you free clip of amunition.
Shit wish I knew that before finishing 4.5 hours of gameplay lol. Thanks tho
well in RE4 if you upgraded anything you didn't get that new magazine except when you upgraded the magazine of course

@@_Circus_Clapped_ i think your method will help the ones who trying to get the platinum but the video explain how to improve as player with no shop's items
I completely avoided using flame rounds on nemesis, because he was completely resistant to all that fire in the boss fight, i assumed fire didnt work on him. The explosive grenades were really useful during boss fights and against those face hugger looking zombies. One shot will kill one or 2, while the falame and acid didnt do shit, and it is hard to shoot them before they close there face.
They should've added back cryo rounds, another thing they cut from RE3 Nemesis.
@@KasumiRINA yea but mines round isn't bad, i really like the usage of it when fighting the mutated nimesis
This guide is one the best guides. Listen to them and you will exceed. GOOD LUCK
Btw. I didn't understand nothing they said lmao. I heard dodge, timing mechanism, honestly idk what after.
Knife parrying: When a zombie lunges at you, hold down left trigger (L2) and quickly tap back on analog and right trigger (R2). This performs a quick knife attack followed by a back step and staggers the zombie for about 2.5 seconds. *Knife must be equipped
Also remember that the zombie's hitbox (when standing) isn't its hands or arms, it's their CHEST. So time escapes/parries by that.
how do you do that with mouse and keyboard?
@@KasumiRINA Not sure. I suppose you just replace the buttons with the keyboard equivalent.
The SWAT peek is super useful for the 2 hunters in the hospital room with the recording, especially on higher difficulties, you can chip away and let the door shut when they attack
JLB95 I legit peeked in, flashed them, then grenaded them both. Insta kill lol.
@@AntFragale That was extremely helpful, especially if you have some attack coins
Fantastic video. Just one slight amendment: blue coloured rooms do not mean you have 'completely found everything', rather, you have found all usable items. Charlie heads or documents will not affect the colour of the room, so some further searching may be required.
Also aside from dodging zombies I think the RE2R strat of flinching them with a shot or two allows you to run past them without being bit.
The Carlos's punch came quite in handy when trying to evade the Lickers and Hunter Betas. Haven't been able to evade successfully and go into slow mo yet, but the angle tip you shared should make it easier to dodge.
Imma scaredy cat, so I always, always knife zombies on the ground more than once xDD. Seriously... I hate them getting up 3x. Very good tips.
Hot Dogger: you want help with that?
When you dodge into the zombie like you're playing darksouls and wonder why it isn't working
Burndownxmas lmao too true
Spot on lol
This is going to help whenever I try hardcore runs.
Great!
zombies kill you in 2 hits, everything kill you in 2 hits except the spiders things.
@@raulrojas9253 here's the thing, infinite ammo doesn't stop you from earning trophies. So I can just go in and kill everything with the rocket launcher.
@@Hinokassaudifan1 You can cheat or use a trainer (on PC) to beat any game without doing anything. If that's fun for you then knock yourself out, play the game however you want to, I am no one to tell you otherwise. But for me, all the fun is in overcoming the challenge set by the game by finding a way to beat it and getting good at it, I would rather do something else than play a game with cheats because that's no fun at all at least for me.
@@panic_diver he isnt talking about modding or using a trainer hes talking about the unlockable in the game that you get after u beat the game it's something you can buy from the store with a certain gun you have points for
The peak a boo trick always helps when there are to many enemies in one room. I found it super useful when you are playing a Carlos and come across the hospital room with two hunters guarding the cassette. Opened the door a bit and tossed a flash bang and a grenade and cleared the room in a few seconds.
The subway station and town landscape, the explosion and chaos going around, the cutscene-ish sequence (like running away from nemesis in the flaming building), the dodge and counter etc..... the remake keeps reminding me of RE6....
Whats wrong with RE6???
Its a good game
@@老天-g4c Nothing. I just said it reminds me of re6 Leon stage. Re6 is actually a "everyone hate but I love" game for me lol
Also, if you stab at a zombie and it seems like its dead it still might not be dead, it's just not activated yet because you havent received the item to trigger it. Like the dead cop on the stretcher outside the subway station control center or the fat zombie by the safe upstairs from the subway control station.
amazing tips indeed , i know some of them but the ones with SWAT style door peeking and the evade timing were new for me , i always see people get that "poof" effect of evading and i was thinking that i never got to experience that in my entire playthrough , will be implementing your tips in my next playthrough, thank you !
Your tips on the dodge mechanic helped, thank you.
One minor tip I found b accident regarding the "farming" challenges: the Raiden (if you got it early on) counts towards the MAG kills. Just mentioning out for any1 that is too lazy to do 50 runs with the MAG in the lab killing paleheads
Not great at aiming so paleheads are a threat to me. I farmed the zombie crates that spawns 1 gamma and 5-6 zombies for mags. Normal zombs die most of the time even without a headshot. This is a short time after meeting Nikolai looking down on you and a few moments after the first palehead drops. Save before triggering the gamma crate and zombie crate.
Neat little thing when Nikolai is looking down at you. I do it before hopping down, but if you take aim for his head and take a shot at Nikolai, he'll switch his stance and lean to the right. Just thought that was a neat little detail
I use Carlos' punching to keep zombies down and kill them with the knife. If you use it when they start getting up it'll put them right back down and you can get another few swipes before using it again. Also, if they don't use this mechanic for Chris in future games I'm gonna be pissed.
This game is great! I finished it 2 times on assisted mode. I'll finish it again.
Bonus tip: you don't actually need to counter an enemy with Carlo's R1 to get the punch. There's a specific timing to trigger it and let you enter bullet time if it connects if you press R1 right before the shoulder check animation ends.
Well yea that's just like Jill's perfect dodge, it automatically points at the enemy's weak point and goes in slow motion for about 2 seconds. Rewarding an easy kill.
Thanks for the video. I didn't realize you can counter punch.
At first I didn't like this game as much as last years remake. I've since changed my mind and now have beaten it four times. It has greater replay appeal for me. Graphics are top notch and facial expressions are spot on.
2:28 lmfao i loved that you called it an asmr sound because it always sounded satisfying to me
Beating the game the first time unlocks an ingame store you can earn points for, I recommend the infinite ammo pistol as a first purchase as beating the game on medium gave me just enough points for it.
Helpful tips. The dodge knife to Nemesis is badass! Might try all the tips for my re-run. Thanks!
three years later and I found it very informative!
Seeing videos of this game i thought dodging nemesis would be easy, im on my first playthrough right now and i was so wrong
I love the content you make Alex, these tips and tricks actually helped me a ton! Keep up the great content. :)
I would like to say that with Carlos, you can use the basic dodge (the shoulder attack) when you are knifing a zombie that is getting up to make it go to the ground and reset its animation, so you can keep knifing it until it dies (be aware that if they get up to a certain point, they can launch at you, so dont wait too much to make the shoulder attack)
Always read the files especially if there is a green writing that means its important
What was the deal with the green writing in The Nest folder?
Was it to tell you the MAG was for Pale Heads, or something to do with the RailGun?
Didn't get that as it seemed not to be tied with the nearly nonexistent puzzles I don't think it was a clue on the MAG location as I was way past that point. (Man, getting up there to drop down to get the MAG was wracking my brain. Guess thats what happens when puzzles/mechanics are only used once with no hint involved, I.E. needing Jill to crawl under the rubble).
I could be wrong about all this as it was my 1st playthrough, going for 2nd now. I have no interest for REsistance, and I think they ROYALLY screwed up with scrapping Mercenaries, I would love to play as Mikhail. He was very badass Rambo esque in the Remake!
If the Remake hadn't cut content/locations, hadn't recycled most weapons and included new ones and more selections, and above all included Mercenaries, I believe we would have had an atleast 9/10 on our hands.
The game would have been better if it was made by the team behind RE2 Remake and not the mishmash of Ex Platinum and Capcom employees. And no you can't tell me the other team only worked on Resistance. If that's the case why are their names included in the RE3 credits? And the RE3 controls and gameplay are nowhere near as crisp as RE2, plus most of the lip-synching is god awful.
I still love this game, but I wish they took the time and team it needed to make it a masterpiece on par with REmake 2.
(Not that REmake 2 couldn't have used some extra care and attention also. )
I hope this doesn't follow the trend of histories past. A few good/great games followed by a trend of ever decreasing diminishing returns. Not that I still don't love the Resident Evil series.
Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Twisted Metal III (Not really Twisted Metal anymore , tht fell into obscurity. But DAMN! TW III's soundtrack was epic,especially for the day. Rob Zombie tunes in a PS1 game about cars fighting with machine guns and r missiles? YES PLEASE!!! Those games were the reasons I bought a PSOne in 1998 and have been a PlayStation only fan since. (I still play others, but they are only the the older "GOOD" systems. NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, (I only it bought for RE4 which is a moot point now. But I love Zelda Twilight Princess which may be blasphemy,cause I think I like it more than Ocarina of Time.) And I think that may be it, I'm not a PC guy. I might have bought a few of those cheap one off sytems you plug into your tv to play bowling of tennis or something. Maybe I'll get one of those systems with 1000's of modded games on it for party gaming.
Never really got into Wii or the like, i'm more into gaming with a conventional controller.
Maybe when VR catches up.
@@tylerwilliams6022 wow. That ran off the rails, didn't it?
@@Majin72 too much adderall or some shit.
Thank you for the tips Alex! Especially on the timing to pull off evading. Other videos would simply say "It'll take time to master," and so forth, but they wouldn't go into the specifics on how to time the movements.
Well can't wait for my copy, coming in the mail also get the platinum too.
You will enjoy it!
Can't wait for re4 remake
@Boomstick Gaming, Alex, You can knife parry. Knife attack and hit away on the control stick at the same time and Jill will stab then step back. If this is done to an attacking zombie it will parry the attack, Jill will take no damage and it will cancel the zombies attack.
Nice!
Thank you so much! I couldn't pull the perfect dodge that often but I think I get it better now!
Welcome!
I found this video very helpful. Thanks a million
Tip for dealing with alpha zombies (the standard ones that get upgraded with a leech-like mouth on their heads). If they are blocking your headshots, shoot them in the leg once to stun them and finish off with some headshots
Found the advice on the dodge and punch mechanics very useful as I’d had limited success with it untill watching this.
Your explanation on the dodge mechanic was superb.
I was already doing these except for the dodges, helped a lot on my first playthrough. I thought I was so scaredy disciplined to do it, but didn't know it was part of the game lol.. "Open door --> aim, open door --->" lol..
When you play swat style with a Infinite ammo rocket launcher, just priceless.
Also very satisfying seeing him doge nemi, then proceed to stab him in the face like nothing.
Can they add shoulder charge option for Jill instead of slow motion
Thank you for this video, I’m a resident Evil veteran and I’ve learned a couple of things from this.
Well done! Solid guide and nice pacing!
Miguel disguised as Carlos in RE3
btw, if you right click just before the timing for a perfect dodge you can just slide past enemies, it looks like a glitch. dodge is also bound to the aim button so its related to the dodge.
Wow, I did not know about the Carlos lunch
I recommend farming weapon kills and buying the rocket launcher with your points for the nightmare and inferno difficulties. Youll get slapped on the final boss without it
Another tip is when you get punched for knocked down you can mash any button/key to get up faster
Brandon S doing an inferno run now with only all the coins an a handgun the coins increase my healing/attack/and defense and the handgun kills anything on nightmare/inferno with three to four shots that’s how useful the coins are and with the recovery coins I never have to use a first aid spray too easy
@@arkiljohnson668 yeah the coins have entirely trivialized the endgame. Knife runs are easy as hell now.
Joshua Fallet I told you even on inferno it’s ridiculous with all the coins most zombies fall with two shots to the head lol and even most lickers die with a few shots and a Carlos punch I straight up killed a hunter beta with a punch to the face lol
@@arkiljohnson668 lol I gotcha, thanks m saying knife runs are crazy now too is all. Perfect dodge knife counters are one shot kills. You can even knock down nemesis with the technique.
I stayed up at 5am trying to beat that slap face of a nemesis I found a strategy but it helps a little bit but damn I still died a lot I was trying to complete the jill Valentine Challenge and I failed I got an A
You can also do an invincible knife attack. You can tell when you did it right because Jill stabs sideways and back dashes.
Crazy i just started getting used to the dodge mechanic too. Earlier i was fed up with the hunter betas insta-killing me in the hospital as carlos so i decided to whip out my Zed-Sticker and bully them back and show them whos the real Hunter Alpha by giving them a taste of their own slashy stabby medicine. Well i can now say it's so much more satisfying to beat the undead hell out of the lizard freaks without even getting tore up. Im not spending another bullet on the "miniboss" zomboids ever again unless i have to lol
Heres a good way to gain points for the store while working to unlocking the higher difficulties, so that its easier to get through the higher ones with upgrades. watch your progress on weapon challenges and try not to finish zombies with the knife. If they are down, stab them a few times, but let them get up so you can finish them with the pistol/rifle. There is oddly no challenge for killing with the knife. There is plenty of ammo on standard and hardcore, and I had like 45 shotgun rounds left over at the final boss, after I killed everything on my first standard run. This will make it easier on the next runs.
The swat peak is dope :D
Heck yea!
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this so i'll just point it out
If you're trying to dodge the parasite's tentacle, the easiest way to dodge is by its sound que. There's a wind up sound before the tentacle does its attack. It can be pretty hard to learn but its easier than just guessing if the tentacle is about to attack.
Put the lockpick on the first slot for quick use. Also healing items closer to the start position. You can put weapons off to the side in the inventory since you wont really interact with em in inventory. Also you can spoof nemesis by hanging out in a saferoom door and bouncing in and out
Really, really great! Thank you very much!
Nice video, mate!
I want to practice jill evade following your previous video. Was it the demo review of RE2?
Very cool detail if you deselect your weapon from the shortcut, the gun will not appear on your character. It give some old school RES vibe.
That's good to know. I end up going to the Inventory screen to change weapons anyway so a lack of clutter on the character model would be nice.
Haha happy to learn that I'm not the only one enjoying this ^^
Yea imma just say it you plan on playing any difficulty higher than hardcore you better learn how to dodge enemies because ammo is not plentiful.
I think this is by far the most well-done and helpful "tips video" I've ever seen. Cheers, mate.
Sub'd.
I don't know how much this will help. But one trick I've seen to have worked for me a lot is to open a door a little quickly then run from it in case a zombie is directly on the other side and you can't ambush them. The quick run to the door and back just verifies there's no nasty surprises waiting for you, that's something I fell victim whilst playing RE2 so much...
Something ive found thats helpful- fire grenades in front of nemesis' feet, he can dodge them unless stunned.
This is why I am subbed to you Alex! Best gaming channel on YT!
1:59 Carlos punched a licker on the brain, shot it a bunch, and when it had the AUDACITY not to die, he punched it again... Poor skinless thing just felt how it's like to be in a survival horror...
Dodging can be a real pain as the window for it is quite tight. Many times I've dodged a zombie only for it to somehow still get hold of me. I wouldn't mind so much but it's a guaranteed loss of health each time. I started doing what you mentioned as your second dodge, which is just far more effective.
The SWAT peak can screw you over though. There's a room around the middle of the game with two hunters in. If you peak in they will hang around by the door making it very difficult to attack them because as soon as you push the door open, even a little and go to attack, they get the jump on you very quickly. You can't dodge back and attack because the door swings closed before you can get more than a couple of shots in. It's actually better to just charge right in.
This happened to me, but you can actually fix that easilly. Just go out of the room and go back to the previous one (where you could see the hunters trough a large window) and that will make them go back to their initial position.
My advice would be : open the door while looking a bit to the left and throw a grenade, this will instantly kill both. I think it is worth it, it's the smallest room where you will be facing 2 hunters.
Just throw a grenade in there itll kill both of them instantly
Another tip is too save a red barrel or two. They also put nemesis down in one shot and saving a grenade for a boss fight helps in the long run. Plus you can just dodge around most zombies, then use the barrel to kill some zombies and down Nemy.
Dude i just platinumed the game and i learned Carlos punch can throback multiple enemies and can be used on Lickers. Also it's that easy to put Nemesis down wow, i just dodged every attack melee, rpg or that tongue grab. I wish i had seen this sooner
Theres one late game useful tip.
Spoiler -
Use the magnum to one shot the pale ones in the head. They regen as you shoot them with a pistol, shotgun, AR, but the magnum is really good.
Not really a spoiler if you played The Runaway mode in RE2 Remastered. There's a note at the very start of that mode that outright tells you to do that.
@@recless8667 not everyone did, and magnum is late game. It is a spoiler for other people.
thanks for explaining the dodge better. :)
Another tip is not using a green herb alone. Also using three green herbs is a waste, since that would make a red one useless. Also save the gun powders for shotgun shells. There are plenty of boxed handgun ammos to find
Those were some cool tips man, I will have the advantage when I jump in re3 today, thanks mate.
Welcome! Have fun
Remind me never to jumpscare Carlos, if the guy has reaction timing good enough to mic punch a licker in the teeth.
My suggestion is to always look up how to beat different nemesis stages, it will help you a lot.
Solid tips mate.
CARLOS VIBE CHECKS ZOMBIES UNFFF
I used the Swap peek a lit. Saves me a bit from hypertension.
great info very helpfull
Good video bro
Thanks!
Similar to RE2R, If you happen to skip or miss the Shotgun and/or Grenade Launcher where they naturally appear the game, they both show up at the save point before the clocktower.
Extremely helpful! That Counter stab is dope.
very useful and informative tips vid that gets to the point directly without wasting time. 10/10
