"Code veronica is a short and sweet experience"
Is literally one of the longest resident evil games
Nah,it's pretty short
Once you know all the ins and outs of this game,you can finish it rather quickly
It's the most difficult RE game
I wouldn’t say it’s a sweet experience either but that was just me
I love CV but it's by far the hardest and longest RE for me. 0 in Hard is pretty difficult too
@@DatLazyBoi nope! From the old school RE style its the biggest!
if you want to play the series in chronological order this is the way it goes
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (First half)
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (Second half)
Resident Evil Survivor 😨
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Resident Evil Dead Aim
Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles
Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Revelations
Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Resident Evil Umbrella Corps 😨
Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 7
Derek Tereve I played 4 and revelations in order, so that's good enough right?
Breath of the Wild Hype Yeah, I'd just say watch a few of the older games on CZcams or get the HD versions of a few
I thought revelations 2 would take place after 6 due to the secret post credits scene in 6 that had claire at the end.
Also, wheres ORC and the Outbreak games???
MasterGameplay Revelations 2 takes place before either before or during the start of Jakes campaign, if you remember Claire finds out that Chris is in China and tells whoever she's talking to to tell Piers to keep an eye on him, as for ORC and Outbreak 1 and 2 they really don't tie into the timeline ORC is basically a what if scenario and I can't find any info that suggests that Outbreak 1 and 2 is cannon to the series
MasterGameplay Wait, what post credit scene with Claire? Do you have a video you can show me?
"Jirard went crazy! He shaved his beard!!
...
...
...
Oh and he killed someone.."
Redchocobo he's done the second before that's not new
@@blastermaster6793 lol
Code Veronica X was my sister's and I's first Resident Evil game. I still have it in my drawer, and I remember being 5 and watching my older sisters playing the game.
That is some bad ass sister you had :) and i bet she did not had arachnophobia, you now fear of spiders. :) Anyway nice to know that even girls play resident evil games :)
This is one of my favorite channels I love you jirard I wish you luck in everything you do
Why is this random comment with no additional comments pinned

PhrozenFox
So the top comment isn't some negative shithead.
nothing wrong with patting yourself on the back and taping it to the Refrigerator door
green man yep
Together with RE2 this is my absolute favorite.
Same! I also include the original/REmake.
Justin Gochioco That's cool. RE4-RE6 are great games, but poor Resident Evil games; I prefer the mystery, story, tank controls, fixed camera angles of the older games as that just clicks so much, with me. I'm going into RE7 with an open mind, as I enjoyed the demo, but I feel like the older games aged better than the more recent ones. Like I said: fun games to play, but not good RE games.
Is it not fair to say "There are tons of games with high action, can't you just leave the classic version of RE to remain, when there is no other way to get that gameplay?"
Need we bastardize the core of every great thing? Fallout is already dead. RE isn't quite "dead" but boy is it not the same.
Code Veronica is by far the high water mark of the series to me.
It's one of last RE's to have that clumsy tank controls right? I always thought those shit controls made playing a survival horror game more fun.
Steve legitimately KILLS this game.
There's a cutscene where, whilst operating a crane, he starts looking at Claires ass, and bursts a gas line as a result! 5 minutes is now dedicated to repairing the pipe so they don't suffocate. Not to mention that this allows Alfred to get the drop on Claire.
He actively impairs the story from beginning to end.
He's MUCH better in darkside chronicles
Pretty sure that's the point. Steve's a dipshit. Sherry isn't. It was to show that not everyone handles outbreaks the same way.
Joopsh Whort its like the voice actor was told to make his voice sound as annoying as humanly possible.
Not his fault. Man just wanted a lil nut during the outbreak
Stop
For anyone interested in how Code: Veronica came to be made, feel free to check out my retrospective series: czcams.com/video/VL1rarok8UI/video.html
Drinker the fuck u doing here son yer a long way from Tatiana
swell
Blonde twins who are way too into eachother? Heard that one before.
Not even a full 10 minutes have passed, and I already miss the beard
but beardman
Whatever happened to the beard ? Was there a reason for this change ? I mean, I don't really care that much, he can do whatever he wants to his body, but it's gonna take a while to get use to it tbh. :P
I miss my beard.
I played the Ps2 port of this game and immediately fell in love with it. Even back then I knew that it didn't feel like a spin off so I'm not surprised it was intended to be the RE:2 sequel.
It was never meant to be an RE2 sequel: the story arc follows RE2 but it was not meant to be developed. It was developed as an apology for not porting RE2 to the Saturn. The OG 3 was actually supposed revolve around Hunk.
My Friday is going great, thank you, Jirard. Nothing like a Completionist video to top it all off.
I disagree wholeheartedly about the difficulty. This is not one of the easiest RE games in the series. This is in fact one of the toughest. The enemies you face are brutal, come at you in large numbers, and there just isn't enough ammo to kill them all. To make matters worse, this title requires more memorization than any other game in the series, and it's more unforgiving when you don't memorize the locations of items. This is the only game in the series l've never been able to beat because of the difficulty... and l've beaten RE2, gotten the best possible grade, and beat Hunk's scenario with the best possible grade. And that was a cakewalk compared to Code Veronica. In fact, I'd say the difficulty is one of the things that really brings this game down a notch.
for real. the difficulty is what keeps me from going back for more playthroughs. at least they made the knife a viable weapon. if you got your timing right you could slaughter zombies. but if you were off... then youd have a terrible time. and it was almost necessary with the constant lack of ammo and supplies
It's not that difficult. Come on now
Even though I've beaten it more than once I agree that it's probably the most difficult RE game. Both enemy and -puzzle difficulty is really up there and it has several difficulty spikes. I'd say it's worth a playthrough though even if you're used to the newer games. Hell, I didn't play it until after the fourth one.
Name McName if you forget to switch weapons between Chris and Claire you can screw your self.
Not all people now this but code ver. On the ps2 have tank controls and that’s one of the reasons for the difficulty
The other thing that didnt make sense in this series is *How can Clair have a crush on childish Steve but feel nothing for Leon* that whole darn time they were together???
Clair x Leon
N
O
W
Because love = stupid
Steve was such a pussy too compared to Leon
Well, apparently the role filled by Steve was actually going to BE Leon, but considering a rather tragic plot development that occurs halfway through the game, the developers realized that having this happen to Leon would have upset a lot of fans, so they created Steve in his place. Steve's model in the Dreamcast version actually bears a vague resemblance to Leon's original model in certain ways.
She felt sorry for him because of the way he lost his dad maybe?
That beep fail at 6:14
The shift towards action honestly started with RE3 and Code Veronica.
But I still love RECV, it was one of my earlier Re titles I owned.
Dude, it started with RE2. And honestly, though unintentionally, with RE1. RE6 wasn't a bad game because it was actiony, it was a bad game because it was a forgettable focus group mess. RE7 and RE2make are plenty actiony.
@@northwindkey I actually really liked RE6. Probably the worst main resi, sure but its still plenty of fun.
@@josephikrakowskiwithflextape Yeah, after replaying it recently I'm kinda eating my words there. Truth is I hadn't played it since 2012, so...
Honestly, it's not any more actiony than RE4 and 5, which are great games. Leon's campaign is fantastic, as is Jake's. Ada's is okay, and only Chris' is really forgettable. Too CoD mixed with Gears of War. Ironically I find playing as Piers in that story more enjoyable.
And it's better than RE0. Zero just plain sucks IMO.
Leons campaign was dogshit. RE6 is dogshit. RE0 is good
This is one of my top 3 resident evil games. Awesome video Jirard!
RE - Code Veronica X has a special place in my heart. Thanks for playing it.
I consider CODE :VERONICA to be RE 2 DISK #3,since it starts up with Clair STILL looking for Chris.
Sammy Lane but 3 takes place at the same time as 2 there both in raccon city
@@FilthyCasual27344 code Veronica was actually supposed to be 3
Omar Y ik that but i think 3 is worthy of being 3
Brotxz Studios 3 should’ve been dlc like it was supposed to be.
Jirad I am so happy I found your channel haven't stopped binge watching your videos since
the guy that died at the start had a cool shirt.
Tristan Shaw i have that same shirt
Raiden Crow nice
@@tristanshaw2906 Ted ;3
Yeah he did
Fuck the haters Jirard your videos are great and youre awesome man
I appreciate it, and thanks for watching.
Maxwell Stein hey are you doing RE7 with scary games squad
Hey Jirad, I'm impressed how you are becoming a better player in the last year, is it because of your fighting game training? or those cruel mario maker level?
I'm sure you got those madzkill playing those SAW games
Well said :3
there are haters? weird, I really enjoy this channel. Some nice fun elements to provide us with some entertainment and breathe some more life into what can be a very boring genre (game reviews). Also informative, Jirard and co do a great job in taking the time to go through the titular titles pro's and cons etc in depth, can't really ask for more. If you want dev level game breaking tech talk about a game, maybe go nerd out on channels where they do that instead.
Great video as always, I always dig retro completionist episodes, they tend to be my favorite.
So excited for your Saw 2 Completionist Jirard! Keep up the awesome vids man!
Technically it is a main line title... but just doesn't have a number like Revelations
Loved the vid man , highlight of my terrible day , keep being you
I love all the work you put into your videos. Jirard and crew, you all deserve the best things in life. I have yet to play code Veronica, but it's on my PS3 still... Waiting for me to pick it up again.
I just started watching this channel a few months ago, it's so great! Jirard seems like the absolute coolest guy! Keep up all the great work!
This is my first completionist vid and I'm impressed! This was one of my favorite and first RE games and it's truly the underdog of the series!!
After RE2, I demanded a Dreamcast for Christmas to play CV, it just looked better and Nemesis seemed tooo scary and ugly for my baby brain lol
I was very surprised to see that another human being loves this game as much as I do. Loved the video Jirard kep it up :)
Hey Jirard, just wanted to let you know you how much I appreciate all the hard work you do. Keep it up!
Loving your more non scripted type of an episode. Keep up the good work my man!
This was the first RE I ever played and the only one I've ever finished.
PS2 version. Good memories.
Man, I do NOT remember the game being that dark when I played it. Of course it's been about ten years.
Gamercoon it's not that bad playing it (i played it till the end. i end it yesterday) :D
Gamercoon It's a lot worse on the X version, which is the one he seemed to play.
That's kind of odd to me though, because I played the X version (the Gamecube version to be precise)
Though I might have cranked the brightness on my TV in order to play it. I can't really remember to be sure.
The brightness are messed up for sure. I played the game no a month ago on the ps2, and i have to ajust the brightness on the tv from "full" or "high" to "limited" or "low". He probably has his tv brightness set to hdmi input, wich uses "full" black range
i think it depends on the tv cause i played it on ps2 and it wasnt anywhere near that dark and ive never adjusted the brightness
This is one of my favorite channels I love you jirard I wish you luck in everything you do. Live on beardy!
Yo Jirard and the whole TOVG team. Keep up the awesome work! You guys are the best!
YES! My favorite resident evil.
Really nice episode, plus the thumbnail this time was fucking great.
I had always been on the fence about giving this a shot but your high praise has me hyped to give it a shot. Funny seeing you without the beard, but it's definitely not a bad look for you!
Thanks for posting so much so regularly, really makes my day better. Cya next video :D!
Haven't watched your videos for a while, glad to see everything is well! Keep up the good work!
Man, when this game first came out on the Dreamcast it looked mind blowing. Completed it in no time. Man...the poor Dreamcast, an epic console with fantastic software that was let down by gamers.
Great episode btw the body being dragged away by you in the intro was pretty messed up LOL.
Great console purchased on out of nostalgia a few years ago was impressed at how it held up compared to it others of that gen. Games are expensive on that console
13:21 he says how great the game looks, but i remember the most common criticism back in the day was how the 3D backgrounds lacked the detail and color of the original trilogy.
I love code veronica X and glad I found my copy. Also new RE game hype!
i love your Crash Bandicoot Completionist video's
very Nostalgic for me and brought back a lot of memories from my childhood.....
keep up the good work....
Awesome! My fav dreamcast game! Love your stuff bro! Amazing job as always.
also you're Jesus right?
Code Veronica has a special place in my heart, I played around 2008 I dindn't knew nothing of english and I was also 7 so yeah, still, finishing this game was one of the most satisfiyng gaming experiences I ever had !!!
2 is hands down my favorite can't wait for the remake
The Dragon Legault I only played 0, 4, and 5. I watched 6 too. out of these four I say 4 is my favorite.
@@dogishappy0 4 is bad.
Keep the Resident Evil videos flowing.
Your show makes me feel so warm. :)
I've NO IDEA how he thought this game was easy. Even more impressed at the A rank. Unless the remastered versions are easier, I thought this was one of the hardest REs (PS2 version). And I'm a huge RE fan who has played most of them (even some spinoffs).
For real. He played with a guide, which likely warned him about the many game breaking mechanics that have you unexpectedly fighting a boss with no option to deposit your items for Chris to use right after, or not having nearly enough ammo to kill some bosses.
My favorite RE game
Hey, 5 years late but after the original remake, the re2 remake, and the re3 remake, i think we’ll get to enjoy a new re cv soon. Im waiting for re outbreak remakes with online multiplayer. Unfortunately, after 2 decades of being madly in love with jill, rebecca, claire, and ada…code veronica will follow the nemesis remake by hitting claire with an ugly stick and making her butch and angry. 😒
Very nice video, can't wait for the other Resident Evils ^^
Thank you for this, you done it justice.
Freakin love Code Veronica X.
Code Veronica is underrated, but yea...Steve is the worst. His transformation is awesome though.
Save Room music is so calming.
My favorite... I appreciate this video
@ 22:50 B-b-b-buh- boooty..
love how "he shaved his beard" is higher on the horror list than F**KING MURDER
I have never seen so much hate on his videos until this one. WTF happened to everyone?
I'd like to know this as well.
That One Video Gamer You see Jirard, you're just not funny. Weren't the 650,000 subs and videos with hundreds of thousands of views each enough to clue you in on how unfunny you are and how few people click with your sense of humor? I mean look at this video's ratings as of this comment. It has almost 60 DISLIKES to over 2k likes. Clearly you're slipping man. The handful of angsty entitled commenters aren't wrong. They aren't ever wrong. You should stop trying to make your work entertaining and just have a text crawl of your script with the jokes edited out. THEN those losers will be happy and your channel will enter a new era of prosperity and popularity. That's how youtube works man. You must not have gotten the memo after doing this for literally years. Happy Goddamn Opposite Day.
Is there really that much hate? Scrolled throughed the comments and only found 4 main comments being a bit spiteful
One complaining about the opening, two calling you big and the fourth being someone shouting a request.
The opening wasn´t my cup of tea, neither the 3d dot games opening, felt like an unnecessary skit that was´nt super funny, but hey if you like doing them keep it up. It´s not like they bother me, but if you feel like saving time on production you can always remove them.
The two calling you bigger than usual could be because of you not having your beard and also the angle of the camera and your standing position. You´re closer to the camera in this video compared to the rest.
Fourth is just a person requestion something, you always have these guys on your videos.
In other words keep up the good work, ignore hate comments, enjoy the good comments and take in the comments with valid criticism
PANICBLADE everyone just needs to chill out. He's reviewing a game, not getting inaugurated into the White House
NeverBeBored08 ooooohhhh I see what you did there
your videos always feel refreshing to me, don't let those toxic comments get you down dude!
love this game as well. great video
I cant be the only person that thought that the Ashford twins were waaaaaaaaayyyy too cheesy to ever be remotely scary. lol I was never creeped out by them, I laughed my ass off every time they were on screen.
I hope code Veronica gets a remake
Loved this!
This was my first Resident Evil and still my favorite.
I actually liked Gaiden. It's a good departure.
Nice more Resident Evil! I can't wait for that RE2 Remake thats going to be great! Re7 I hope will be awesome to.
Dude I want that DBZ shirt.
I just shaved to we are on the same beard cycles
@Cyber Console wolf It's also a rail shooter and not a survival horror game. Not to say it's bad, but it's not a true remake.
hey jirard, just wanted to say thanks for putting code veronica in the spotlight it so rightfully deserves, as much as i love 2, this one was fantastic, im glad that you REviewed it, cant wait for your opinions on re7, i thought it was fantastic personally.
also this video was uploaded on my bday, so from one re fan to another, thanks for the content man, wish you the best
Love your videos! RECV never was one of my favorites but it's really fun to play. Waiting for the RE0 video!!
Jirard is like a completely different person without his sumptuous beard.
Steve Buscemi was once a firefighter and helped the FDNY during 9/11. Thank him for that, not Adam Sandler movies. Nobody should be thanked for those.
Great video man!
great video as always man
"Weapon Crazy" is the probably the achievement I'm most proud of unlocking. It requires you to get an A ranking (no saves, no retries, no first aid sprays, complete under 4 hours & 30 min)
DJJayJay805 Nice dude. Now try beating The Last of Us on Grounded mode.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, please?
I absolutely love this channel it just wouldn't be the same if I'm not cooking or making Jill sandwiches listening to Jirard and his beard tall about my favourite games
Thank you so much veronica x was probably my favorite resident evil game
I actually laughed at the intro. It seems I'm alone.
Alvaro Stöckle nope. It was stupid.
Lookin like you just graduated highschool 😂 you pull it off tho 👌
ah yes. my favorite thing about Fridays. especially working graves. thank you
Just do Resident Evil 4 already goddamn it!!!
Ben Wasserman he really should
It's literally the next one in the main series chronology. Jesus, relax.
+Tobias Warneflo he still has to play re zero, that one sucks dick
Ben Wasserman calm the fuck down bruv
Zero has issues without a doubt, but it honestly is not a bad game, it had some really damn good mechanics, Caddicarus and Jordan Underneath did a review about it that brings up the various things that work and does not work.
Strangely enough, I actually rate 4 below zero, 4 to me has very little replay value, it is a great game but it is honestly boring to replay it. Again, great game, just not fun to replay.
He looked like Joeys world tour
Have you ever thought this world is overpopulated
kybaree terry every day of my life....
Follow in Bill Williamson's footsteps!!!
Smooth. Very smooth.
Dakota Ward you took the words right out of my mouth
kybaree terry Yes, we're almost at 8 billion, that's way too much people.
It's a little weird to bring this up in these kinds of video though.
I'm impressed that you finished this game in A rank, it's arguably the most difficult RE that i've ever beated
"Oh it's Snapchat..." LOLOL Really liking the opening skits!
Nemesis added so many gameplay tweaks that calling it "DLC for re2" is an insult.
Auto-climb stairs? Nemesis did it first.
180° quick turn? Nemesis.
Dual Shock? Nemesis was the first to have it as a default setting. It didn't need a "Dual Shock edition" a year after release.
I like Code Veronica, but Nemesis has merit beyond "RE2, but more."
Don't forget about the dodging system, the ammo crafting stuff, and the auto aim button (The one where it automatically aims at explosive barrels in the environment).
Well said. I hate when some people act like _Resident Evil 3_ did nothing new and would have been a bad game without Nemesis.
Nemesis may not be my favorite in the series, but I do get pissy when people say it's DLC for 2.
I do as well. I think people really undermine how great _Resident Evil 3_ is when they refer to it as DLC.
+Joopsh Whort - Code Veronica was being worked on first. Even if 3 released first, Code Veronica invented all those things
Steve is so bad that he's good, though. He's like Scooby Doo from 1969, it was so corny but it was amazing.
loved this video and game jirard. can't wait for re7 either!
CV is my all time favourite game. It is the best RE game... and seeing what kinda RE games we got lately (lol), nothing will change.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
JIRARD SHAVED
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
can you do do the persona series?
joaocisne556 They take ages to 100% but it would be neat.
+Leonides one game they should do that takes ages to 100% is Disgaea (any of them). Like, getting level 9999 with the best innocents in the equips and full stats ... I'm not even sure if you can complete that game, and there are 5 games
personally I want him to do ni no kuni
I think he should do Ni no Kuni by the time the second game comes out. It's a great game.
+Vitor Kiguchi i agree ni no knui for the win
Another great video Jirard! Aaaand i should probably go to sleep now that I've just marathoned your videos all day.
Also, video game suggestion: The Fire Emblem Fates games.
Such a good game! So happy you completed it. :)
You can't record video on 2% battery, liar.
Little Prince Kain You can film a snapchat
Would you really waste battery on that though?
PikaLink91 It's the main reason I have snapchat. To take pictures when my battery's below 5%.
+Katrine Grytten - I see, but the pictures still vanish after viewing. The main reason why I personally see no use for the app. But hey, different strokes different folks. If you like it, more power to ya.
Are you danish by the way?
The main reason anyone has snapchat is to send naked pictures. Doing anything else is lying to yourself
So in a nut shell, Jesse Cox is too noisy and now you're getting sound-proofing.
Great review Jirard!
One of my favorites in the series!
I'm sorry, I loved Steve. The development they put towards him was a major appeal of the game to me (alongside with everything else), I did care about him, and I'm still bitter that they killed him at the end. I wanted him and Claire to escape together like they promised!
There's no denying he was equal parts whiney and annoying at the beginning, but there was more to him than that, and he mellowed out by the end of the game. I put a lot of the blame regarding to his unpopularity to his voice actor (or how his VA was directed, I don't know which). Honestly, he's one of the few companions I actually gave a shit about in the whole series. And they killed him. :C
Same
am I the only one that didn't hate Steve
The Gaming God no your not. I never understood the hate. Code veronica was the first RE I ever played and i got really attached to Claire and Steve. They are my favorite duo.
Cyber Console wolf yeah. And the dude is like 17 in the game.
Of course he will act like an angsty teenager.
The Gaming God i think people hate him because of his bad voice acting. But thats why i love him lol
He does a lot of bad ass stuff and is overall pretty cool. The problem is his voice actor lol the way he saves Claire from the bandersnatch is one of the most awesome scenes in resident evil ever, and then he ruins when he starts talking 😂
The Gaming God yup, pretty much. Its like they told the actor to make his voice sound as annoying as possible. “Help MEEEEEEE!!!!” He actively fucks up shit the whole game, making Claire’s life difficult.
Finally something worthwhile, yes!
