If that was the case, there wouldn't be 8 Resident Evil titles using the same "horrendous" gameplay prior to Resident Evil 4.

Played all of them.

On paper, the Dreamast port is the best of both worlds, featuring the complexity of N64 levels and having PS1 voice acting, while also every asset in the game is improved.

But this particular version has an issue with jumping where the input often time gets ignored.

I've never had the opportunity to play it with the original VA, as the game does not have any subtitles, but the English one is terrible in a laughable way, at least.

It did take me ~60 hours, so that's gonna be a pretty, but lengthy treat.

Treating yourself to one of the better-looking PS2 titles!

I've finished it for the first time 3 years ago, and while it does not have the same vibes as the previous entries, it's still rather memorable.

Can't say for certain for this one, but "stealth" makes it harder for enemies to lock into you.

This particular type of aircraft is only suitable for ravine-type missions. You really do get obliterated in a dogfight.

There is a way.
You can input a cheat code so you get to use enemy livery.
it's a shame that in this one using the third person view mode removes the useful parts of UI, something the sequels fix.

Exploring the world of CODE VEIN II It's been six years since I've streamed and reviewed CODE VEIN, and now I'm curious to see if my issues with it have been addressed in the sequel. I would've loved to play this in co-op, but the mode ...

I'd like to resume some more CODE VEIN II before Resident Evil and Tales of Berseria ambush me.
