>bro resident evil is so fun>you run past all enemies because killing one takes 20 bullets
>>738267079Use the Matilda with the stock and this doesn't feel like an issue. :^)
>>738267079the inventory micromanagment is my favorite part. i always like running back to safe rooms and leaving items on ground and making sure to come back when theres room for them and constant rearranging of items ina grid.
>>738267079sounds like a skill issue
>>738267079have you tried not missing your shots ?
Genuine question. How is a first timer supposed to play resident evil? I only had res evil 2 on my ps1 as like a 4 year old but i never played it because it scared me shitlessYou start with barely anything yet have to kill a lot of zombies to progress. What do in that situation?
>>738267079That's only true in the demakes
>>738267079You learn the layout of the areas and remove the zombies that are in the critical path.Simple as.
guess shooting anywhere but the head is completely futile, huh?
>>738267537On hard mode shooting in the head is also a waste, you have to shoot them in the knees
>>738267079this is why i dont like horror games. its supposed to be scary because of the lack of resources but instead it just feels inconvenient.
>>738267079this is exactly why it's good. it approaches differently than most games, they're an obstacle rather than a mandatory objective.
>most satisfying gun in the game only has a handful of bulletsRE games are so cruel
>>738267450you watch a platinum walkthrough and follow it exactly.
>>738267537one of the things I learned playing the post game challenges is that sometimes bodyshots are beneficial if you're overwhelmed and need an enemy down or staggered with the least attention possible.
This is only an issue in the original I feel. Or maybe in the remake if you play on harder difficulties. I played the remake on the default difficulty 2 routes and I could always comfortably kill any zombie I felt like and had ammo to spare. Of course, I didn't go out of my way to kill every single one of them but I never started to awkwardly try and dodge through them just to save a few bullets.
>>738267079Once you get the unbreakable knife any difficulty just flies out the window. Form there on just shoot every enemy once then knife it to death. I understand that they wanted to make the t-virus a lot more intimidating by basically making zombies immortal, which really conveys how the police and military in Racoon City lost to them, but I don't like shooting a zombie with 15 stationary, aimed headshots only for it to keep getting up. The dogs in this game are the only enemies that aren't bullet sponges and they were also the most scary.
>>738267079Yeah I agree. Knee shooting simulator sure it's fun.
>>738267252are you one of those retards that download an inventory cheat "mod" for every RPG you play>bro it's quality of lifebecause you need to pick up every barrel worth a penny that weighs 100000 kilos?
>>738267450its only first person perspective that'll really get me spooked like re7 or outlast. third person like re2 and re4 isnt really that bad
>>738267450back in the day you used to learn by playing the game and failing, maybe you can watch a youtube video since youre a BITCH
>make really cool body dismemberment for zombies>flesh sloughs off from impact>never use it ever again
>>738267450kek this is me but with tarkov. shit gives me anxiety that you could never get with horror games.
Just play left 4 dead if you want a zombie shooter
>>738267450You have enough ammo in OG2 to kill everything in the game. It's more efficient to not kill everything and there's no reason to. Eventually you stop killing everything which led to speedrunning. The old games were built around this because they're really like 3 hours long and not very big. You were also graded on number of times injured and healed. It led to repeat playthroughs being faster.
>>738268291re2 isnt a zombie shooter though
>>738267627Noooooo that's not how you vidya
>>738268267I am so mad at them because of this. RE2make has by far the best zombies in the entire series.
>>738268059I was a huge scaredy cat when i was younger. The plastic skeleton in scary movie 2 made me cry and i ran out of the room
>>738267450Every game since RE4 cheats on resource drops and enemy HP with few exceptions so you just do whatever you need to get through a roomIf its somewhere you know you'll need to backtrack through you can kill shit otherwise just kneecap thingsLast third of the game blast everything cause you'll be drowning in ammo anyways
>>738268190
>>738267450The only section you dodge zombies are the opening areas. You can get the shotgun without killing any zombie. You can reach the station by killing a 1 or 2 zombies. Once you reach the station, you get ammo left and right.
>>738268367>You have enough ammo in OG2 to kill everything in the game.ammo is pretty tight in the beginning part of the police station, if you're not really smart there will be situations where you need to tank damage or have a particularly difficult to dodge zombie area.. I'm sure eventually you could come back to kill everything after you get the second tier weapons once you have upgrades but that's after going through a lot of zombies under equipped. the resource challenge of the game basically has a massive spike at the beginning.
>>738268868Unironically, RE titles get easier the more you progress.
>>738268868its a good thing you can get hit like 8 times before being put in danger in og 2
>>738267450there's 2 points to be mindful of and you'll get through. 1. leaving low threat enemies that you're unlikely to repeatedly encounter or be a threat to you I.E. zombie in a wide open space, zombie in a one off puzzle room, zombies in a connector you've bypassed and don't need to use anymore.2. reserve expensive ammo for dangerous enemies you can't comfortably kite and bleed down with pistol shots. leon's shotgun is an exception though, efficient zombie killer with close range headshots.
>>738269123yes, that's the shortcoming. the most interesting part of the game is the absolute beginning before you can just kill everything.
>>738268868There's hidden ammo all over on the route to the station. A first time player can quite easily meander into a situation like that I will admit, but there's nothing wrong with punishing a player and making them start over IMO.You will learn you can explore the pre-rendered environment to get dialogue prompts early on and if a curious player does that they'll stumble upon hidden ammo pretty quickly.It's not -that- much of an expectation to put upon the player to figure out how to either dodge or explore dialogue prompts on different parts of the screen. If you just don't do either yeah you can get fucked over but I'd argue that's on the player.
>>738268639You can dodge like 5 zombies in one hallway on the right to the offices consistently even though it looks difficult. Granted it's been 10 years since I played it but I distinctly remember that specific hallway (the one with the drink machines on the right from the front door). If that room has a consistent pattern I'd imagine most rooms do once you figure it out. Yes there are choke points where the best advantage is killing everything but there are plenty of rooms across the game you can not kill anything and consistently pass.

>>738267450I beat the OG RE1 when Iw as like 8 and never fucking ran out of ammo. By the tyrant boss I had like 10 handgun bullets left, but I still never softlocked myself out of ammo. If you run out of ammo in a RE game it means you missed your shots cause you suck at the game
>>738268272just install the sp mod and experiment until you're comfortablethen go back to live and realize you have to wait 10 minutes for a raid just to get one tapped by a cheater in 30 seconds
>>738270639>"you missed your shoots because you're bad bro">shooting in this game is auto aim
>>738267450Thanks everyone. Now i know
>>738270843this ones a self expose lad og re1 didnt have auto aim
>>738267450>How is a first timer supposed to play resident evil?You start playing the game, you learn how the game works, and then once you got a basic understanding you get your fucking shit together.
>>738270439I'm not criticizing the game in my post. The beginning section of the game actually has a moderate resource challenge and will push you a bit if you're not perfect getting every collectable. you won't need to start over but you'll feel performing well isn't something gifted to you on a platter..
>>738267079>Bro Resident Evil is so cool you don't have any ammo, you're supposed to run back and forth in the same small area like a retard to find things to do puzzles while you get chased by a faggot that can't die for a short story that ends in about 6-8 hours when playing blind. Isn't it awesome?! Resident Evil sucks
>>738267537In the demakes is purely legshot followed by stabbing them to death, anything else is a waste.
>>738267450Reach save room and save the game.Use every single resource you have at your disposal to explore everything you can, this means killing everything in your way and making note of where key items are.Reload and then map a route to said key items and objectives that has you exposed to the least danger possible.Execute your route while avoiding all combat and dodging every enemy until you reach the next save room.Repeat.I just finished replaying RE3 while fighting every Nemesis encounter like this and never even had to craft any ammo with gunpowder.
>>738271038
>>738272927so you're just cheating
>>738267450You're supposed to not be a tremendous faggot
>>738267079It was great that they compensated for the over the shoulder camera by trippling every enemy's health and giving them all superarmor
>>738273028By your logic, anyone that has ever died in these games and acquired exploration information before reloading a save is cheating. Route planning and danger assessment is part of these games, and the player acquiring map knowledge as they explore and fail so they can be better informed next time is inevitable.
>>738273323how is it any different from watching a youtube walktrough and learning the route from there?you're just too much of a pussy to play the game RAW
>>738273442>how is doing the legwork yourself and learning from your failings personally any different than watching someone else do itI know you were born and raised in the """content creator""" era so you don't know any better, but the answer to this question should be obvious if you think about it a little.
>>738273586kid sybau, you're cheating cause you're shit at games
>>738273706>learning from your failings and improving your plan with knowledge gained is cheatingAlmost two decades of /v/ and I still get amazed at the stupidity people here are capable of spewing.
>>738274029>waa waa I have to play every section twice because I don't like saving resources
I still need to play RE2 and RE3 (original). But I don't really want to.>Play the the remakesNo.
>>738274351what a useless postfuck you
>>738274393I'd fuck me if I could.
>>738267450>how do i play video gamesWhat the fuck..?
>>738271917NTA but yes it did.
>>738274959t. didnt play og re1 and has only touched modified versionsdont piss me off.
>>738274518Just say you're trans next time
>>738275014>NO YOU CAN'T PLAY THE DIRECTOR'S CUT YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE LAUNCH VERSIONKiss my ass, nigger.
>>738275338I accept your concession niglet.
>>738275381nta but why would you play the og besides curiosity of the difference between director's cut
>>738267079>*turn on infinite ammo cheat*Ah, time to Game.
>>738275552maybe cause Im old, did you ever think about that you fucking asshole
>>738275768>maybe cause Im old, did you ever think about that you fucking asshole
>>738276082I look like this and say this
>>738276082I'M YONGING OUT!
>>738267450I'm late to this but in og re2 there's a ton of "hidden" handgun ammo primarily in the police station section of the game. And knowing where these hidden ammo spots are makes the original game incredibly easy. In 2make, you can get away with less ammo usage by just shooting a zombie's leg out, and then just sidestepping them since they're now crawlers. Alternatively you can just knife the crawlers to death if you really want a room clear. The combat knives absolutely fuck lickers too if you sneak up on them
>>738267079It's because of this type of thinking Capcom made Resident Evil 6 and the franchise nearly died
>>738267079It is stupid cause instead of quicker and more zombies, they decided to make them bullet sponges.
>>738271038And knowing is half the battle.
There's more than enough ammo to kill everything but the sewer blobs on hardcore. I beat the game with an entire inventory full of ammo/grenades by the end.
