Do you remember the first time you finished a RE game?? How was it??

I don't remember it much.. but I think it was RE1og that I finished first. I had RE2 the dualshock version on the PS1 but I don't think I ever finished it. I also played RE3 and veronica too but didn't complete it untill many years later. After I finished my first RE game.. I felt like I accomplished something really big. The games are pretty hard because of the tank controls thing you have to learn and you die easily (Well.. at least in RE1og you do)

I forgot what year it was.. maybe around 2009. It was RE1 PC Uncensored.. I learned that the PC one had uncut intro with color so I wanted to try it out. Yes I downloaded it illegally.. but I have RE1 directors cut on my ps3 account. Don't remember which one though.

RE7 was the first game on finished on PS4 back in 2019.

I had the game on Xbox, but it kinda freaked me out the first time playing it lol so I procrastinated for a couple of years before picking it up cheap on PS4,

I just finished the Switch 2 version yesterday also.
 
Lucky enough to say that my 1st was the PS1 version of RE1, and this franchise has spoiled me (for the most part) ever since.

I’m not exactly sure how I found out about it, but it was just a game I to took a chance with because it looked cool and I was getting into the first person survival horror games that were starting to get popular at the time post PT.
 
The first Resident Evil game I ever beat was RE4. My older brother was into the series since RE2 on the N64 and would never let me play them because "I would suck at it." But I was almost 10 around the time RE4 released and I remember playing the demo at Gamestop and I did good. So I did borrow his copy of RE4 to play and I did end up beating it all by myself.

By then, we were heavily anticipating RE5, especially since it was going to be co-op and we could finally play the series together. Shortly before it released, I did end up hunting down the rest of the games on Gamecube as this was around the time I was buying my own games and no longer relying on borrowing stuff from my brother.

We ended up playing through the series side by side on our own screens. We started with 0 at the end of 2009 and the rest throughout 2010, minus Code Veronica which he had felt burnt out by. I wouldn't have played Code Veronica until much later myself only a few years ago.
 
Although the first RE game I played was RE3: Nemesis as a kid, me and my cousin never made it past the second half of the game. Many, many years later when I decided to buy Revelations 2 on the PS Store by mere chance, it became the first RE game that I actually completed. It was a great feeling, I remember, as it reawakened my interest in the franchise and made me want to play all of the games. And here I am today.
 
I have a clear memory of playing RE5’s demo after it dropped in the summer following the official launch.

Not something I would usually play as a kid especially since it was a horror game and whatnot but it had co-op for it’s story mode like most of the big name games around the time that I played with my big cousin, I’m thinking Gears and Army of 2, Halo 3, World At War.

We played the demo so much that he just went ahead and got the full game which is something he never did. It was a pretty fun game and not the intimidating title that I would typically would associate with fear—at least that’s what I felt towards the end of the game.

Really great co-op game. It does not get enough credit for that.
 
I didn't know that.. I was turned off instantly when I first saw it many years ago and heard about it being able to have 2 players. Google search shows RE7 now as the most selling.
 
I looked it up again, it still reigns king surprisingly with 17.1 units sold with RE6 and 7 both wedged between 16.5 units.

Yeah, it’s definitely getting remade

That's an easy bet. They needed to do Code Veronia beforehand. Once CV drops, I'm sure they will remake RE5 next. RE4RE basically confirmed it with the Wesker after the credits scene.
 
A week after my 17th birthday, all the way back in 2002. I got a Nintendo GameCube for my birthday and went out and bought the REmake and its player’s guide the next day and finished it by the weekend. Haven’t looked back.

Was actually surprised how it turned out, as I had several theories about the game. I knew there were zombies, but because it was set in a big spooky mansion and I’d seen commercials for the game showing a shark and a giant snake and a plant and such, I thought it was a supernatural threat. Then when I bought the game, on the back of the box it described a genetic research facility. So I thought from there that scientist built a lab inside a haunted mansion and that the haunting caused the virus to break free, turning people and dogs into zombies, and that the rest of the threats were supernatural. Then in playing it, I found out that it was all a science experiment gone wrong. Finally, when the Tyrant is finally revealed, I thought the Tyrant had been created through genetic engineering, and doing so had created the T-virus inside its body as a byproduct and it was then extracted from the Tyrant and used to perform other experiments. But nope, I learned the lore (as it existed at the time) pretty quickly following that first completion.
