Never played a resident evil game

Am I missing out? I've seen all the movies so far and feel like I should try one of them out but don't know where to start.

Well personally my favorites are Resident evil 2 and the Outbreak files ,but if you wanna start might as well be the original. And if your not into survival horror you could play 4 or 5 they are more action oriented.

If you wanna take the game seriously, start with Resident Evil 2 or 3. The first one had some really lame cutscenes and the legendary-awful voice-acting.

I've never played one. Don't really want to either

Decent games, gotta start with 2 though its the best imo

To be honest the only resident evil games that disappointed me were the knock-offs on the ps2.

I'd probably play the REmake for the gamecube if you have one.

I've always disliked the camera angles in that franchise..

..much like Devil May Cry.

If you can deal with the aforementioned, I'd say go for it.

Oh God, I just love all RE games.
Even played the first one, but never finished it... I would recommend to play remake of it.
My fav is RE4 & RE3, but others are amazing too!

You'd be better off playing silent hill then resident evil.

You deserve +rep from a Silent Hill veteran of 13 years.

I just got the Silent Hill HD collection for the ps3. I had forgotten just how creepy the second one was, and now that it's in HD and 5 point surround it's even worse. My wife had to take it away from me after I started having constant nightmares. That game is fucking awesome.

Resident Evil 1 on Gamecube is an absolute gem! (I did play it in PS1 days and thought it was good but when they remade it for cube it blew me away)... worth a look imo... Wasnt so taken with resi 4 or 5...

Play either RE2 or 3 if you want a more horror based experience. Although, i'm very biased towards 2 over 3.

RE4 is best if you want more action and a good scare every now and then. Avoid 5, it's a laughable excuse for a RE game. Nothing about it was scary or tense like the others.

What knock offs, occupant wicked perhaps ?

Are all the resident evil games in chronological order or just new ones every time ?

I am an old school Resident Evil Veteran, and I MUST tell you that up until R.E. 4. the fucking controls are S H I T ! ! ! ! and they are just a BITCH to get used to. So, plan on dying because you can't get away from the assholes because the controls are fucked. But other than that, those games are great.

Oh, and yeah you'd better get used to being somewhere in the middle of the game, with no health, maybe 4 bullets, and you gotta limp your ass to safety! oh the memories

The games aren't really in chronological order. It's really weird how the stories go together. I can't remember exactly it's been so long, I think Resident evil 3 somehow happens before Resident Evil 2

P.S. I swear I've NEVER played a game with such shit controls.. okay, /endrant

Actually, RE2 and RE3 take place within hours of each other.

RE2's first half is set about 2 hours before RE3 begins. RE2's second half is about an hour after Jill escapes Raccoon City. Cause along the way, if you're observant enough, you'll notice tidbits where Jill's adventures went near where Leon's/Claire's travels took them.

Really interesting that they never ran into each other, that could've been quite an awesome scene if you saw Leon/Claire and Jill battling it out with Nemesis.

Also, I think the "schoolbus handling" controls added to the suspense. Knowing if you weren't prepared to run away you'd get cornered and then killed. Although I could get how the controls could be interpreted as shitty

I tried playing the RE4 remake on my sisters wii but fuck those nunchuck controls. Maybe ill try plugging in a gamecube controller and going from there.
