Let Me Buy the Resident Evil 3 Multiplayer Separately, Please
YouTube is the bane of my existence, and the reason for why is very simple: it reminds me of things that I’m unable to have. The Resident Evil 3 multiplayer being one of those things. While it’s no real fault of Capcom, and very much the fault of all the streamers I watch, the Resident Evil 3 multiplayer has caught my eye in a way that’s left me biting at the bit to play myself.
As someone who is very much a fan of asymmetrical, multiplayer horror games, such as Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th, Resident Evil 3’s stood out to me. Killing survivors has always been a favourite pastime of mine after all, even if I’m not that good at it. This multiplayer makes it far more satisfying to do just that, mostly because the survivors fight back in a way that they can’t in Dead by Daylight. It makes the challenge much more fun.
But it’s not just the survivors you have to worry about, as the Mastermind that’ll put these survivors (aka, lab rats) into this deathtrap, you’ll have to make sure that your resources – aka zombies, zombie dogs, etc — are used effectively. If you use all of them up quickly, in just one room, it’ll allow the survivors to find the puzzle to move to the next round. It’s this kind of clever, on-your-feet thinking that makes the Resident Evil 3 multiplayer so fun to watch.
But reader, I don’t want to just watch. I want to play the game for myself and it is killing me that I’m unable to do so, because while I’m sure Resident Evil 3 will eventually drop in price, I don’t want to play the single-player game. I want to be a Mastermind and kill innocent survivors and that’s it. Nothing outside of this interests me at all, and so I’m begging you Capcom. Let me buy this game separately. The multiplayer isn’t even ‘canonical‘ so I can play not really knowing anything at all. Great, because I know nothing about Resident Evil apart from there are hot people in it and really? I think that’s all I want to know.
Even if the multiplayer was just 30 quid, I’d be all over that. Because, as much as I love Dead by Daylight, I’m tired of fixing generators. Let me kick ass against an almighty being instead, it sounds way more fun.
