1) What game is best for Leon?
2) What game is the best, if I were to play only one?
3) If I fell in love with this, what order should I play them?
@LukeAlmighty I'll come back to this when I'm at my pc
@beardalaxy
Oh, feel free to add movies to the mix for things, that are too old to be enjoyed as a game.
@LukeAlmighty 1) 4 for sure, arguably 9 but that's based on having knowledge of him beforehand so i'll go with 4
2) the best game for most people IS 4, but if you really like it i would play 7 next if you can only play one. it has seemingly little to do with anything else until you piece together more parts of the story from 8 and 9, but it's a really high quality horror game. if you don't want to do first person and stay with that same style from re4, then i'd go with re2 remake because that's also really high quality and also has leon.
3) if you LOVE the games then i would just play them in release order after having played 4, 2, and 7. straight up. with some things to note:
- play the gamecube remake of re1, it's the one on steam i'm pretty sure.
- play the original re3, not the remake. it leaves a bunch of stuff out. if you can't stomach it then it isn't the end of the world but yeah.
- 5 and 6 are kind of meh unless you're playing them in co-op with a friend. you can totally just get story synopses for them otherwise.
- if you're really strapped for time you can also probably cut out 0 and both revelations games in addition to 5 and 6
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty do NOT, under ANY circumstances, play the remake of re1
@beardalaxy the only reason not to play it is because it sucks, well, maybe also because it's awful, and in addition because it's bad
so that's three very good reasons
@matana what @LukeAlmighty really needs to play is the dualshock edition of re1
@beardalaxy it's worth it for the meme at least
@matana @LukeAlmighty the only reason to not play it is if you specifically want the look and FMVs from the ps1 game. which is fair, but i think that taking a step back and looking at it objectively, the remake is the better game.
