I have been playing this series since I was a kid. In fact Resident Evil 3 was my first game in the series.
I think the tank style games are the best ones, but I know they can be hard to get into. I think a lot of people might choose the RE1 remaster or RE2 as it is talked about so highly as their first game.
But, Resident Evil 3 on easy mode is what I recommend as the starter game so people can get used to the gameplay style.
The game has so much ammo. I basically used just the standard gun and shotgun the entire time. I did not even need to use the gunpowder system to make more ammo.
The game is also pretty short, so it is easy to get through. Once you finish playing this game, I recommend going to RE2 then 1. It is your decision to play the original vs remake.
I literally just started playing the originals on my r36s. I always kinda played them at friends’ houses but never really enjoyed it cause I couldn’t just sit and play by myself for a few hours I guess because I just went through all of director’s cut and loved it. finished Leon and Claire A in 2 yesterday and plan on starting the b new game pluses today with 3 planned on for next week.
All this started with me noticing I have the 4 remake from family share on steam and have only heard fantastic things about it, but really wanted to get to it in the natural chronological order.
Some people say you either love 1,2, and 3 or 4.
I think the theory is sicker ever you played first.
I hated 4, but my brother loved it. It was his first RE game.
