I have been playing this series since I was a kid. In fact Resident Evil 3 was my first game in the series.
I think the tank style games are the best ones, but I know they can be hard to get into. I think a lot of people might choose the RE1 remaster or RE2 as it is talked about so highly as their first game.
But, Resident Evil 3 on easy mode is what I recommend as the starter game so people can get used to the gameplay style.
The game has so much ammo. I basically used just the standard gun and shotgun the entire time. I did not even need to use the gunpowder system to make more ammo.
The game is also pretty short, so it is easy to get through. Once you finish playing this game, I recommend going to RE2 then 1. It is your decision to play the original vs remake.
not even reading that, recommending someone the third game in a series instead of the first is stupid. especially since the original trilogy are all similar gameplay wise
Recommending someone the third game in a series is not stupid, there are many series where that recommendation is perfectly reasonable. The best Metal Gear is MGS3. The best Devil May Cry is DMC3. The best Half-Life is…wait. Shit.
Don’t even think of starting FF16 without going through the first
1520 games in the series (I’m counting 7CC but not 7DC or 7BC) (yes also 4AY)
