I have never played Code Veronica, but I heard the jokes about Steve in chat, as well as SGF's impressions. I thought you guys were exaggerating, but you were actually pretty tame. Nyeh !
For the heads not popping off: There was a series of beheadings/dismemberments that happened around this time in Japan, and for a looooooong while around it depicting anything like that was INCREDIBLY taboo and would super up a rating, if not outright ban the media. So the lack of headsplosions may be due to that.
I quite like Claire. She's got a style about her that I really appreciate. I also love when someone's clearly so familliar with a game, I love when people go out of the main path to show off 'HEY, ISN'T THIS NEAT!'. This is gonna be a good playthrough.
I don't know how to explain it but the dialogue in this game makes me feel really uncomfortable. Like it's not as hilariously bad as RE1, but instead in this weird uncanny valley where they almost sound like real people but there's enough off about how the conversations flow that it kinda feels like aliens mimicking human speech.
It's weird, because I remember RE2 and 3 actually being surprisingly decent for their time. How is this game such a step down in writing and acting?
It's funny how 2 of the 3 RE games starring Claire start with her waking up in a prison on a weird island. I wonder if Revelations 2 did that as an intentional callback.
That opening action scene will always be unnecessarily stupid and pointless even by RE standards. Dropping a gun, then somehow falling *faster than it* to grab it again and blow up some tankers, only for one guy to survive and end it with the same result of being captured. They forced in so much trying to look cool, only for RE4 to be the only game that handles it's far more blatant action elements well for the most part in the entire series. lol
Roentgenography is a fancy word for X-ray
I don't know why, but there is a certain joy in the sound of swapping physical discs.
THAT FUCKING SECURITY BOX! god, you are so right
fire extinguishers are REALLY powerful, especially against fires
cool
Steve has a MIGHTY Canadian "sore-y".
When it's 3 minutes and 20 seconds of straight monologuing before he presses a button, you know it's gonna be a damn good playthrough.
F*king Steve 😂
CLAIRES BIG ISLAND ADVENTURE!
Always a delight to watch SGF play through a game he's intimately familiar with.
You know something is really bad when SGF drops an F bomb
Code: Veronica and Aconcagua–two games united by the most nasally Steves imaginable.
I played the PS2 version of this recently and for some reason Steve has a different haircut…weird.
Oh my god, that intro sequence. Back in the day I though it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Now it just made my 12 year old past-self cringe retro-actively back in time so hard that my hair went gray.
Steve my favorite character in the RE IP.
The greatest tragedy of this game is the absolute character assassination of Claire. She could've been cool, but no. Steve happened.
22:09 – oh God, I can see myself wanting to hear that every time Steve is on-screen.
I love the detail of how Claire fires 3 rounds in a cutscene and your magazine is missing 3 rounds when you regain control.
First resident evil I finished. In retrospect I can see why people didn't like it.
But man – I liked it.
Funny and flawed but still did it's job in making me love resident evil games.

Been waiting for this for a decade lol. Hell yea dude
Roentgenography is just X-Ray.
It was developed by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
FUCKING STEVE! Is our new Resident Evil character!
The venom in this statement was almost palpable 😂

Holy hell. I remember Steve being bad but damn dude… I feel like he is even worse than I remember.
School buddy had a dreamcast and we played this. Graphics were something else but i remember being baffled that there was no dismemberment :p
My favorite one!
The PS2 version was my first Resident Evil, and probably a non-trivial factor towards Claire being my favorite RE character.

Freaking steve
Steve sucks so much it's amazing
If they ever remake this they better not fix him 😤
OG superior to X because wesker gets his shit slapped.

Oh right Steve looks different in this version, more like a Leonardo Decaprio knock off than Diet Grundge Leon like later.
I'd heard of Steve but had never seen him in action…not sure I should be thankful for this video!
"FUCKIN' STEVE."
my sentiments exactly whenever that egregious whiny shit is on my screen 🤣
I won't lie, that was and still is a very cool looking water. I had the same feelings playing Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance on PS2.
Robert the Secretary.
Bob the prisoner.
Sums up
Best classic RE.
