Resident Evil 2 Nest Codes 2nd Run

Okay, let's talk about something that might make some Resident Evil 2 purists clutch their pearls. The Nest codes on the 2nd Run.

I'm gonna say it. Are they really *that* hard?

I know, I know, some people treat them like solving the Da Vinci Code while being chased by a Tyrant. But come on!

Let's Break it Down (Simply!)

First of all, let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. The 2nd Run is supposed to be harder. Enemies are tougher, resources are scarcer, and that darn Mr. X is even MORE persistent.

But the Nest codes? A minor inconvenience at best.

Think about it. You’re already knee-deep in zombies, lickers, and G-mutations. You’ve probably used up half your ammo just getting to the damn lab.

Suddenly, a *slightly* different code combination is the hill you’re gonna die on?

The Infamous 2nd Run Changes

Yes, the codes change. This isn’t news. But let's be honest with ourselves. How much do they *really* change?

It's not like the game suddenly throws you into a Sudoku puzzle. A little observation, a little deduction, and bam! You're in.

Besides, wasn't part of the fun in the original game figuring things out? The pre-internet days where you actually had to *think* (gasp!).

"But the atmosphere! The tension! The pressure of Mr. X breathing down my neck!"

I hear you. But that's the *entire game*. A couple of extra minutes fiddling with a keypad isn't going to make or break the experience. Trust me.

And let's not forget, there are hints scattered around. Little notes, environmental clues... the game isn't *completely* trying to screw you over.

My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)

Here it is: I kind of *like* the slightly altered 2nd Run Nest codes.

There, I said it!

They add a tiny layer of replayability. It forces you to actually pay attention, even if you’ve played the game a dozen times. It keeps you on your toes, even when your toes are already covered in zombie goo.

Honestly, they prevent things from getting too stale. Imagine replaying the game and knowing *exactly* what to do every single time. Where’s the fun in that?

Plus, let’s be real, most of us are probably using a guide anyway. Don’t even pretend you’re not! A quick Google search, and you’re golden.

So, next time you’re playing the 2nd Run and you’re faced with those *slightly* different codes, don’t panic.

Take a deep breath. Channel your inner detective. And remember, it's just a game. A gloriously gory, zombie-infested game.

And if all else fails, well, there's always Google. No shame in that!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some zombies to shoot. And maybe, just maybe, I'll try to solve those Nest codes without a guide this time. Maybe.
