Original: They are equally fun to play for me so that's a tie. I like claire more as a character than leon and she has a better story imo but leon's weapons are more fun to use; especially that awesome shotgun. For scenario pair; ı prefer claire a / leon b mainly cause sherry gets infected and creating the vaccine is fun, you temporarily see her as leon and later on as ada.
Remake: I prefer claire. She has a better story than leon's and her weapons are buffed and more fun to use than leon's which feel nerfed; especially that awesome shotgun. The scenario pairs arent that different from each other in remake unfortunately but ı still prefer claire a / leon b. Plus birkin's final form is less frustrating to take down with leon since he's equipped with rocket launcher and ı prefer leon to fight him so that he plays a hand in helping claire and sherry.
That's also true. More reason why claire a and leon b is better in remake than leon a and claire b.Chris is also brought up more which ties more into CV. If you play as Leon first, he asks Claire if she found her brother when she didn’t even make it inside yet.
What about the scenario pairs? Which one do you prefer in both games? Claire a / leon b or leon a / claire b?In the original it was Leon. I liked Ada more than Sherry, not to mention I prefer his guns, he didn't have the Grenade Launcher, but I loved the Magnum and Shotgun. The bit where you are with Ada is also pretty cool, while with Clarie you have to walk slowly because of Sherry.
In the Remake, I think the story is better with Claire, Irons is more interesting to meet than Kendo, and while I loved Ada in the original, I find her annoying here, the bit before the Alligator always drags on because of plot exposition, and Claire doesn't have that problem. Aside from that, on the gameplay front I find both scenarios identical. In the end, I think Claire is better because of the plot.
