Why did the Resident Evil 2 remake become a huge mainstream thing/meme and Resi 3 just kinda whimpered? Is it the pandemic or is it just not that good?

Mr. X was memorable
Nemesis is a scripted boss you encounter 3 or 4 times.

REmake2 is good, REmake3 is not.
Levi Ortiz
2 had good memes and was actually a good game.
3 wasn't.
Josiah Lee
3 doubled down on the flaws of 2.

That ugly fucking Jill redesign probably didn't help. Hope they don't fuck up Ashley like that.

They're basically the same thing. Both are basically linear and have mission objectives telling you where to go or what to do.

RE2 was always the more memorable game and had two different characters to experience the story with and RE2 Remake basically recaptured all the things that made the original great and translated it into a super gorey and realistic engine while mostly respecting the original. It doesn't hurt that it's down to $15-$20 depending on where you look.
RE3 doesn't seem to be nearly as fondly remembered compared to RE2 / CV / RE4 and the remake removed much of the gore from RE2 Remake while scaling down the game world to streamline it for a more cohesive experience with little replayability beyond "grind invisible points and objectives to get game breaking items!" like infinite ammo weapons or regenerating health items that you have in your inventory to work. Add on the dumpster fire that is Resistance to justify a $60 price point with Capcom not looking to add content to either game beyond launch and it's just bad news bears all around.

RE was always a linear franchise, even the PSX games
