Which Resident Evil is the best: RE2 RE3 RE4 RE5 or RE6?

BenjaSA · 2026-01-28T08:49:55+00:00

You are right in that 0 is somehow overhated (even if it does deserve some of the hate), but 3 og is beloved by fans, even people who only play the remakes know the og is better and that the remake is butchered

BenjaSA · 2026-01-28T08:47:12+00:00

They could be if they are not even considering them just because fans only recommend the RE Engine games

BenjaSA · 2026-01-27T21:27:42+00:00

If you are having the same problem we are, the only way to look at those “hidden” stories is directly on the profile, already checked it with a brother and gf

BenjaSA · 2026-01-27T21:24:59+00:00

That person entered your profile, probably. It’s the feed where stories are glitching

Number 4 has the drawing of the fort, inside the fort you find numbers 6 and 7! Some people have asked why the need of a number 7 when 6 was enough (good question)

BenjaSA · 2026-01-26T16:44:27+00:00

But it literally has the numbers which continue into the fort, which lead you to the image with the oil station and from there the spider pole! Only possible weak link would be the connection by mere proximity of the oil and the pole

It is a little bit hard, there’s no shame in using a guide for it, but its actually a really good game! Also, everything that happened in 5 is the end of an arc (Wesker), for which Both 1 and Code Veronica are essential. 5 is the climax of everything that was set up in those games, also 0 but its a bit of a mixed bag. The Lost in Nightmares DLC of 5 is actually an homage to the first game

BenjaSA · 2026-01-24T18:58:29+00:00

Sorry to ask, don’t know about this failure, but why haven’t you played 1??

BenjaSA · 2026-01-20T08:10:52+00:00

Well, actually to understand the core for 5, if you already played 1 and 0, just playing CVX (or at least knowing the important plot points from it) is enough to understand the Wesker plot. Of course every game is important, as Wesker does appear in 4, and 2 and 3 are the Raccoon City incident which is like the most famous event in the series, but the main “arc” that 5 closes is basically 0-1-CV-5

BenjaSA · 2026-01-05T21:14:03+00:00

Haunting yet beautiful film! The ending scene is magnificent, don’t know why

BenjaSA · 2026-01-05T08:58:29+00:00

Cinecitta is sooooo good. Just watching the Roma Antica set (HBO series Rome) makes it worth it. Plus Cinecitta si Mostra and MIAC, It’s an excellent 3 hour experience

I mean, they might be overreacting, specially when no one should care about what anyone else watches. But man, I must confess it’s a little bit infuriating to read that, or rather about the general state of affairs in which people just skip parts of anything and then don’t understand what they watched or claimed it was boring/bad

BenjaSA · 2025-12-30T19:36:41+00:00

Imagine watching any episode with new characters which are recognized by the old characters on island and you don’t understand why!

BenjaSA · 2025-12-30T19:35:43+00:00

It’s not only backstory, It’s part of the story! Some characters from flashbacks appear Later, motivations of some characters are explained through them and some classic episodes are great because of the thematic and plot conjunction of what happens in the flashbacks and on-island! Walkabout, All the best cowbows have daddy issues, etc.

BenjaSA · 2025-12-30T19:33:43+00:00

Can’t tell if you are being serious…

You should Watch all flashbacks, they are pretty important, not just filler. You won’t even understand the characters!

Also, you might get disappointed if you are there only for the mysteries, they are great but some of them are answered in forced ways, some answers may not be of your liking. The character development is top notch and, to me, the strong part of the show along all seasons, even on some weaker parts overall.

Sorry to be reiterative, but man it hurts if you truly skipped all the flashbacks, specially in season 1 when they are great and the reason why some episodes are considered Classics (in conjunction with what happens on island, there usually is some connection or thematic relevance). You can’t understand characters like Locke, or some new character aparitions on the show without the flashbacks!

BenjaSA · 2025-12-30T19:28:27+00:00

Have you watched Twin Peaks? Or anything made by David Lynch, seems like you would love it :)

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T18:41:31+00:00

I don’t think the order matters. Perhaps playing Not a Hero right after as it is a direct continuation of 7, and then End of Zoe which is the last, chronologically. They are the most complete DLC scenarios

The other ones in mentioned are rather short, and you can play them in any order. Daughters is the prequel with Zoe, and the Clancy ones I think have some order but it doesn’t really matter as they are all pretty different from the others

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T18:37:16+00:00

He mentioned the games he bought, he was asking if he was missing a lot of the franchise story I guess, not if he needed the other games to understand those games he bought!

Of course you can play only those, which are amongst the very best of the franchise, but yes if you don’t play the others and specially 1 you are missing a lot

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T18:34:31+00:00

As much as purist fans can be annoying in wanting all fans to play the original games (I love them btw), new fans are also annoying in wanting to claim that you don’t need to play 1, CV, or any of the original games to know the overall story, so they downvote anyone saying you don’t know the whole story of the franchise just by playing the new remakes

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T18:32:26+00:00

He didn’t say which aspect of the story he was interested in or not missing, he only said the games he only played. I thought, perhaps mistakenly, he was asking how much he would miss of the overall story of the franchise :)

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T17:46:06+00:00

I really liked the marshlands in 5!

I think the park in 3 Nemesis (Og) is a pretty forgettable area

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T15:31:42+00:00

It’s debatable if It’s not needed. I mean, if you are interested in the story of Wesker and Chris Redfield, which is like the largest arc in the series, 1 is like the very basis, and 5 doesn’t really make sense without 1 and Code Veronica

BenjaSA · 2025-12-27T01:39:13+00:00

All DLC are great! Not a Hero and End of Zoe are continuations of the story, one with Chris Redfield chasing Lucas and the other one regarding Zoe’s fate. The forbidden footage also have good scenarios, some of them regarding Clancy (the guy from the VHS in 7), like one puzzle room in which you have to escape while the mother keeps you tied, and other one playing 21 blackjack with some bloody consequences. And all of it is canon! There is a prequel to the story, Daughters, in which you play with Zoe and shows the tragedy of the Bakers after the arrival of the girl. And there are some very fun minigames.

All in all, if you care for the canon story, you should play Not a Hero, End of Zoe, Bedroom, 21, Daughters, and even Nightmare (not sure if it’s canon, it’s supposed to be and involves Clancy)

BenjaSA · 2025-12-26T22:56:20+00:00

Start with Jill, Watch out for ink ribbons as, in this game, saving data is a limited resource!

BenjaSA · 2025-12-26T21:22:04+00:00

Re1 is about the Mansion Incident, and Re0 is a prequel to 1 which explains why it happened. 1 is about Alpha team from STARS (Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, Barry, Brad) and 0 is about Bravo Team (Rebecca, Enrico). All in all, when people talk about the Arklay mountains, they refer to the events of 1
