I finally beat Code Veronica

Posted last week about going through and playing all the RE games I’ve missed over the years and got clowned for not having yet played the OGs 2/3, 0, and CV. Well I am finally reconciling that for having just finished CV today.

That game fucking ROCKS. Is the backtracking a pain in the ass? Yes. Did I look up what ammo to use for specific enemies? Yes. Did I need to look up tips so I didn’t softlock? I thought I did, but after finishing, surprisingly no. I just needed the confidence and patience to actually play the game.

I knew that after I picked up the rifle it would switch characters, yet I still stupidly forgot to put the bow gun and GL back in the item box for Chris, so I ended up really struggling at the switch. Some decent pathing and a lot of reloads, and I was finally able to finish. This was much harder than RE1 imo, really excited to jump into 0, and original 2/3 next. After that, THEN I’ll be done with all the mainline games.

What does everyone here think about CV? It seems that the common consensus amongst a lot of fans is that it’s a bad game solely for the backtracking and controls which I find kind of crazy, considering fixed camera and tank controls were the norm for RE games at the time.
