3/5 ★ – Diluted_Thought's review of Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

So I am a MASSIVE Resident Evil fan and really grew to love these games back on the PS1, but then I played Code Veronica X. Yeah I get Capcom was really trying to up the ante a bit considering the new hardware and extra power to work with but it didn't quite hit like any of the games in the original trilogy. Capcom also did me dirty here as I ran into a similar issues that I did in Onimusha. There is a certain boss fight you get to right before the game put you in the shoes of Chris Redfield. For this boss fight I packed up my entire arsenal and dominated that fight. i got to save my progress and then went into the roll of Chris when I was put in an odd situation that I could not come back from. I was equipt with a pistol a knife and that was about it. I had NO OTHER GUNS since they were all with Claire. The game does not warn you that this will happen and unless you fucked up like I did, you have to learn this the HARD way. Trying to run around as chris with just a pistol was incredibly tough since the first thing you have to do is kill a massive fucking worm. Spoiler alert, its damn near impossible. I turned the game off and cursed capcom for such a stupid and flawed designe. I never played this game again. Code Veronica X is currently the only game in the franchise that I never went back to and to this day harbor massive amounts of hate for. Sounds a little dramatic sure, but you can't screw me over like that and expect me to be cool with it ever. Bad designe is bad designe. Period.
