General RE series has enough games in series now to Keep playing in rotation.

Normally, I would begin a marathon run with 0, giving how it's chronologically the beginning. But I honestly don't play 0 or even the remake as much as games like 2 and 3. With 0 especially, it is inclined to drag on and on, especially after you reach the mansion. Then there's not much in the way of a story until Rebecca and Billy get split up. Even so, it's hardly really a prequel. Feels strung together. It is a great game, though, but I feel like it could have been better.

Even the Outbreak games. I wanted to enjoy them, but they are just too hard. So I hardly even have an attempt at those. But at least they have the gameplay mechanics of old RE games before Capcom altered everything forever. Because 4, 5 and 6 are way different games to these retro classics.
 
I want Billy Coen to return. I think it's sad how they don't want to reveal where he went after leaving Rebecca in the forest.

Some people say he isn't important enough. But I still want to know just the same.
 
I recently played 0 on switch. Those who are planning to get the switch version i should tell it contains all the additional dlc costumes in the game. More reasons to replay again.

RE6 on the switch has Auto QTE option. Every QTE becomes auto. Even when enemy grabs there is no QTE. When turning valve handle there is no QTE.
 
Playing RE Director's cut Arrange mode as Chris. It's one of the most hardest and fun mode for me in all RE series. Reached guardhouse. I am happy that I don't remember arrange mode item locations so in a way it's like a new RE game for me.
 
I'm playing re6's campaigns through a different order. I used to arrange them through a chronological sense but the new order ı finished once is:

J1, C1, L1, A1, J2, C2, L2, A2, J3, C3, L3, A3, J4, C4, L4, A4, J5, C5, L5, A5.

I'm trying a different order which is:

L1, C1, J1, A1, L2, C2, J2, A2, L3, C3, J3, A3, L4, C4, J4, A4, L5, C5, J5, A5.
Interesting i will copy it. Next time I will play in the same order you are playing.

That double ammo trick works in standard mode too. I like playing it as director intended. Mikami says even he has trouble playing director's cut Arrange mode
 
I wish that trick was also added to remake. I would have liked to double the resources in all difficulties for that game too.
Or they would have added a code like in RE2 for unlimited ammo.

Remake is fun game but it can be hard. Sometimes when i am playing in hard mode which i rarely play, I use up more ammo, so i restart the game.
 
I really need to play the old ones again. I know I claim to be a fan. But maybe it's just because I want something new to play instead, so I have neglected them for this long. :D

I like playing Re1 and RE2. RE1 has the most amount of different campaigns.

Re1 has Jill and Chris mode, Directors cut has Advance mode which changes item locations and increases the number of enemies. You have RE DS which adds new puzzles, greater the number of enemies and swapping some key items.

RE1 remake has Normal, hard, real survivor, one dangerous zombie and invisible enemy mode which can be played on very easy.

RE 2 has scenarios, N64 versions changes location of non key items. Dreamcast and PC version has nightmare mode and Dual shock version has Extreme battle. Which is available on all ports.

I replay RE1 a lot because it most number of different modes.
 
I feel the opposite. I find myself going back to old ones rather than wanting more new games. I can play from re1 to re6 and get enough conclusion. I think the " bio " side " died " after suga's tragic demise, ever since corps and moon, the series dont even feel like " bio " . I never felt " resident evil " fit to the series' name, it only fits for the 1st one, after that " biohazard " title fits the entries better.
I don't like 8 and rarely play 7. For me Resident Evil ended will 6. I will still play next RE games but just to beat them once. I am ok with RE games from 0 to 6. It will not matter to me if 7 and 8 would disappear.
 
Normally, I just play the old games and can include RE4 as my cutting off point. But after that, I struggle to maintain interest.

Revelations 2 is very good though, and RE7 makes for another fine experience if I'm in the appropriate mood for it. But I am not gonna be revisiting RE8 any day soon.

I didn't even bother playing the DLC during the autumn. That's how lame it has gotten. My favourite series, and it didn't grab my interest. In fact, it kind of bothers me that they were trying to copy Silent Hill, which RE has no reason to be getting carried away with, since RE isn't really supposed to be about supernatural type storylines, mannequins, doll creatures, and other assorted nonsense like fat vendors, werewolves, and vampires.

I know that RE8 in itself isn't actually supernatural, but the vibes it gave off made some fans feel like that.

You are right RE8 does feels like it supernatural elements. I played RE8 twice and i didn't liked it. I hated a section where game takes away all my weapons and a turret boss fight. I also dislike invincible stalker enemies.

We cannot explore castle in peace. After defeating the main boss castle locks out.
