Comment on Resident Evil 3: Nemsesis (1999)
NelDel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoThat’s a good way to put it about RE2’s atmosphere, it never feels scary but it’s thrilling trying to navigate the various puzzles & obstacles. Honestly have never been invested in a story in a Resident Evil game so my expectations were low, I’m glad the cast was focused on only a couple characters.
I never got the hang of the dodge, but maybe I’ll figure it out in future replays. It’s so surprising that the RE2 remake seems to have handled Nemesis better than RE3 in terms of mechanics

It’s very tricky, but you basically have to press the Aim button (or, if you’re aiming already, the Shoot button) moments before being hit by an enemy. If the attack happens while the Aim animation happens, Jill will attempt to roll or push the enemy away (the latter only against standard zombies). Be careful that rolling provides no invincibility frames: you need to actually dodge the enemy! For this reason, it’s easier to dodge an enemy in an open space than it is in cramped rooms or near walls and other obstacles.
Counter intuitively, it works better while wielding big weapons, or when giving your back to the enemy, because the Aim animation becomes longer. It’s also a LOT easier against most enemies that aren’t zombies: you can dodge Nemesis quite easily because its attack animations are long, but to dodge a standard zombie, you need to dodge in the exact moment their attack animation begins, which is a lot trickier.
It’s very difficult to master, but it’s also VERY satisfying to do so!
