You're not supposed to kill every enemyThis is even more true on the older (and better) titles
>>738005667Well, that's bad design. You can't even draw the enemies attention away by throwing stuff and making noise, there are just 10 zombies blocking a hallway and the only option is to shoot them.I forgot to mention that the game has adaptive difficulty that punished the player for doing well, if you don't miss your shots the AD makes zombies become invincible and just go limp on the ground instead of dying.
the mistake is thinking you need to kill everythingthe pistol is for shooting them in the knee and waltzing past themthe shotgun is for blowing their head off
In the hallways, just stab the zombies until they flinch or trip and then run past them. Kill the ones in important rooms or if there is a high likelihood of getting trapped by trying to run around them.RE2 is insanely overrated but it is still a very good game, you just need to play by its rules
Your mistake is playing Resident Evil
>>738005907nah, you're a bad player
>>738006061Or maybe the game is just not good.It fails at being scary and it fails at being a shooter. It's just a tedium backtrack simulator
>>738005907>there are just 10 zombies blocking a hallwayI'm assuming you're exaggerating here, but if a room has a lot of zombies, it's because you didn't choose to kill some of them (probably wasted ammo on zombies that don't matter)>adaptive difficultyIt's not a thing on hardcore, which is the only difficulty that matters (in typical capcum fashion)
>>738005153it's a survival horror game, you're not supposed to shoot every enemy and manage your resources well
>>738006141>have enemies in the game>have guns in the game to kill enemies>ahaaaa but the whole point is never to kill them :)>~Then why put guns
>>738006297to filter brainlets
>>738005907Two shots to a zombie's legs will guarantee a stumble on even the highest difficulty and zombies can't grab while they're in any stagger animation, allowing you to run by. If you absolutely must kill a zombie, a single point blank shotgun blast to the face will explode their head as long as every pellet hits. The adaptive difficulty doesn't swing very far. It might result in a zombie taking 13 bullets to kill instead of 12. Every enemy has a set health value that is the same on every playthrough, and some just have a ton of health to fuck with you, but critical hits to the skull always instant kill, thus shotgun.The only part of the design that's prettu unfair is that every weapon type has a damage modifier based on enemy. There isn't really a way for the player to know that the shotgun does shit damage to bosses compared to handguns, for example.
>>738005153all capcom games are shit
>>738005153If you are gonna play any of the first 3 resident evil better play the originals. They are miles better than the shity remakes. Yes, even RE1 original is better than the annoying RE1 remake. If you are a first time player either start with Re 7 (the most scary one) or with RE4/RE4 remake (the best action horror one). These are the best games in the series, the rest of the series is just capcom trying to reach and failing to match the highs ot these games.
>>738005153RE2 is hardest RE game I played. I beat both scenarious on normal but with struggle. I found RE4 much easier.
>>738005153OP if you wanna kill every enemy you come across play RE4, 5, 6, or requiem. The earlier RE games are not about killing zombies but making them get the fuck out of the way so you can get from point A to point B
>>738005667Wrong. Once you get the shotgun you can blast anything away
>>738005907Actually you can draw enemies by sound. There's a speedrun tactic to shoot the library wall from one side of the door so the zombie repositions itself and you can safely enter without fear of being grabbed.
>>738005153>This is my first Resident Evili'm gonna stop reading there and tell you straight up to play the 98 Original.
>>738005667BullshitYou have more than enough ammo to kill every thing 3 times
>>738005667>This is even more true on the older (and better) titlesYou get plenty of ammo in the OG RE1-3, zoom zoom.
>>738005153>>738005907I think zombies in Minecraft die in 2-3 hits. That might be more your speed.
OP is obvious bait, why are you reddit newfags falling for it?
>>738008364I'm not baiting. I'm just struggling to understand why this game is rated overwhelmingly positive on steam.
>>738008364Because if I didn't like responding to bad bait, why would I be here?
>>738008437Because you don't understand the concept of survival horror. You are just ignorant of the genre.
>>738005153>This is my first Resident Evil gamejust stop acting boomer unc
>>738005153>zombies take 15 shots to the head and dont dieWell yeah, though you exaggerate. They're zombies. Already basically dead but reanimated by some funky virus that's wearing their corpse like a puppet.>melee enemies like lickersThis only applied when they aren't already alerted to your presence i.e just wandering around slowly or hanging out on a wall. Also you're not supposed to be some superhuman in a horror game.>mr. x is kinda scary for the first 20 seconds then he just becomes an annoyanceMr X can get annoying with you having to keep doing laps on the police station when you're just trying to do some puzzle or whatever, it's true.>inventory is so small even when maxed out that you spend more time running back to safe area chests than playingThat's you being shit at the game. If you are trying to keep literally every item and weapon on your person at all times you are doing it wrong. Instead at every item box strip your inventory down to only what you will be needing right then. This generally means about 2 guns, ammo, a knife or grenade, 1 healing item, wooden planks for boarding up windows, and a key. If you don't know what an item does right now you dump it in the box until you find out what you are supposed to use it for. Herbs can be left on the ground and picked up when you need them or specifically to transport them to an item box for later.>why does leon scream fuck and shit and what the hell nonstop when aiming his gunBecause he's in a city full of monsters.>every scary enemy in the game can easily be beaten by running behind it and stabbing it 50 timesSome of them but it's not that easy to pull off without getting attacked.>the knife has durability and breaks (randomly?) that is if you don't end up using them to stab the annoying fucking zombies in the neck while flailing around with tank controlsYeah mainly because it is a powerful item that would render the game trivial if it didn't. It's also not random.
Every zombo has different non-regen HP and you can shot what body part you like, the damage is done by the bullet type not the body part.
>>738010650>the damage is done by the bullet type not the body part.Wait so headshots don't actually do more damage?
I love the series but I absolutely believe that a dozen headshots to kill a zombie is dumbJust give me less ammo
>>738010725Nope. But if you left an enemy with 1 HP and then run away, that monster will remain with 1 HP until the end of the game.
>>738011243Huh. Well that makes the game a lot simpler. Much of the difficulty in fighting the zombies comes from trying to hit their swaying head and missing. Thanks for the tip.
>>738011394No problem. The only advantage you have in trying to shot them in the head is that it could stun them, just like shot a leg can end up in removing the part with them falling on the floor.
>>738011568Looking it up it seems you are mostly right however headshots have a higher chance of a critical hit i.e just blowing their head clean off and killing them outright. Still probably not really worth it since it's a lot harder to actually hit.
>>738008364Love making these too
>>738005153>This is my first Resident Evil game.The RE-Engine DEmakes and TLOU-reskin sequels are NOT "Resident Evil games".They are generic and casual as fuck modern movie-slop, made for people who HATE Resident Evil.Go play the CLASSIC, 1996-1999 Resident Evil 1-3. In release order. Both routes in each game, and then some.You'll get why the series got big in the first place, and why the OGs filter the ADHD zoom zoom audiences.And no, the "Resident Evil Remaster" on Steam and PS5 is NOT the 1996 RE1, but a shitty HD upscale of the 2002 REmake 1, originally released only on the Nintendo GC. It too should not be played first.
>>738007618>RE2 is hardest RE game I playedThat's not RE2. That's the DEmake 2. And it is PISS EASY, since it has auto-balance difficulty slop + no ink ribbons + shittons of handholding.>>738008437>I'm just struggling to understand why this game is rated overwhelmingly positive on steam.Literally the Piss4 generation zoomers' first "RE game", that plays NOTHING like an actual RE game.Real RE-fans waited nearly 2 decades for the RE2 and 3 to get THE REmake 1 treatment, but instead we got a fucking Dead Space reskin #4654
>>738005153>>zombies take 15 shots to the head and dont die unless they're scripted to die after 1-2 shotsLiterally a lie. They take about 6 shots (usually less), wake up once then die after the next 6 shots. You can easily get free damage or even kill them with the knife before they get up from the first down.I bet you don't even know that you get more explody heads if you wait for the reticle to focus.If you play as Leon, what the fuck are you doing, every single zombie is a oneshot with the shotgun. You should never use any weapon but the shotgun on normal zombies.>B-but you don't need to kill everyoneCompletely wrong and stupid, don't listen to these. There's more bullets than you need. You're only starved at the very begining. After getting the spade key you should be rollin.
>>738012476>spadeI knew this game was for cucks.
that guy's a maniac, why'd he bite me
>>738005153I thought this too after playing the demo around release. Picked it up again about a year ago and had a real good time.
>>738011915>no ink ribbons This is how you spot someone who hasn't played the game they shitpost about.
>>738010725No, but crits will insta kill it, so headshots are still prefered
>>738005153>Is it just me or this game series extremely overrated?Name a better series.
>>738012779Imho only if you pick and use the custom Beretta with enhanced crit (can't remember if Chris or Jill one)
>>738005153Holy retard
Why does op mention tank controls when he's playing the remake?
>>738006297are you retarded
>>738013002normal guns do crits too just less likely
>>738011805Old games are unplayable garbage. Fixed camera, retarded controls, awful gameplay, awful visuals, awful acting. New games are better in every way and there is no reason to ever touch the old ones ever again. New games are more successful than the old ones ever were. No reason to suffer through that shit just to get validation from some fat retard on the Internet, who will consider you "true fan". Don't forget, you are a failure pushing 40s. All you have left in your empty life is clinging to your childhood memories. Which is why you pretend like playing some pixelated crap on PS1 when you were an impressionable toddler makes you superior. Just kill yourself already. It's your problem that you can't move on. The world has moved on and evolved. You are living in the past, because you have failed in the present. People playing new games enjoy them, and have a good time. They are actual fans. You are a miserable sack of shit, imposing his misery on everyone else, because you can't stand anyone having a good time.
>>738013836git gud
>>738005153That's a demake it isn't RE.
>>738013194It is a.i generated.
>>738013194zoomers don't know what tank controls are
>>738005153>This is my first Resident Evil gamedidnt read further than that
>>738013836kill yourself tranny
>>738013836TRVKE TRVKE TRVKE
>738013836Bait used to be believable.
I think the worst thing about RE2 is the fact that If I do literally anything a big slow retard is gonna come chasing me and I'll have to lure him all the way to the other end of the station.
