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!"
The October Games with Gold lineup is here!
I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?
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.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
