Why I'm Buying Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD

Errol of 1Up writes: "The reviews are in for the HD version of Resident Evil Code Veronica, and they are mixed. It currently has a score of 74% on Metacritic, which is alright. I've read the reviews from Destructoid which gave it a 5/10 and Gamepro which gave the game 3 out of 5 stars.

But something caught my attention. These were the CONS from Gamepro's review of Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD:

'CONS: Terrible controls hamper much of the gameplay; puzzles are occasionally way too obscure to figure out without help; forced camera perspective feels cheap later in the game; rarity of items and weapons can get you stuck in a corner if you're not careful.'

My question to the person who wrote the review is: how many Resident Evil games have you played before? Last I remembered, Code Veronica was similar to Resident Evil games before Resident Evil 4. The fixed camera angles weren't "cheap" in the year 2000. They made Resident Evil the series it is today! Pressing "forward" to move is nothing new to RE veterans who think the series has recently moved in the wrong direction. The rarity of items and weapons is also a staple in the series. The game would be way too easy and less scary if you had more bullets than you needed to survival. The genre is survival horror after all. Learn how to save bullets!"

How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.

I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

Getting rid of the gold paywall entirely works for me.

@John_McClane
I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.

I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.

I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.

I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?

Yui_Suzumiya957d ago

Yeah, it had an HD remaster during the PS3 / 360 era

babadivad957d ago

Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.

Resident Evil and Castlevania crossover Video game and Anime series confirmed!

VersusDMC957d ago

Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.

Glad I kept this one. Great game, very underrated.

Movefasta19931906d ago

lost planet 1 and 2 are gems imo

spicelicka1906d ago

2 is the one with 4 player co-op right? That was amazing! Being able to fight giant monsters in co-op was so awesome. It was like Monster hunter with guns.

Movefasta19931906d ago
