You're not thinking hard enough. Especially with your point&click comparison

Survival Horror is a sub genre of action-adventure

Look up at the VG genre trees, and at the top you'll see the action and adventure genre

Then, there is the action-adventure sub genre
and then, there is a sub genre of that called survival horror.

It's pretty simple: take out the action mechanics (twitch based controls) ? Then it becomes an adventure game with a horror theme. Take out the adventure mechanics? It becomes Doom or House of The Dead. Take out the horror, and it's just an action-adventure game.

That's right, contrary to popular survival horror ARE "action"games by definition.

Now some survival horror lean more towards action (the AitD/RE kind) and some more towards adventure (Echo Night etc), but there is always at least a bit of the other side in the mix.

tl;dr survival horror = action-adventure game with a horror theme, and survival gameplay mechanics.
Action=twitch based controls
adventure = puzzles, figuring out where to go etc
survival gameplay mechanics: item management, making the player FEEL weaker than the odds he's facing
Horror = proeminent horror theme throughout the game (not just "bits and pieces of gore" like Dino Crisis 2) that are meant to horrify the player (scare, gross out, feel uneasy, etc)

RE3 is best regardless

You faggots are saying that shit like Strider 2 and Tekken 3 are mere ports despite them adding plenty of features not present in the original, so I get to call Doom a port. You're the ones who haven't played the so-called PS1 ports, shut the fuck up you ignorant, two-faced, hypocritical samefagging assclown,

Forgot to say, if you guys like this kind of game, and I supposed you've played Parasite Eve 2, I say check out Vampire Hunter D. It's more sword fighting than guns blazing, more like Onimusha before its time, but it's very underrated imo. Just make sure to turn off the auto lock system, that thing does anything but help.

There is also Soul of the Samurai which is decent, works like RE2 with the scenario system.

And Deep Freeze which is guns blazing, but it's hard as balls with huge difficulty spikes and Jap only.

You can swap models but you retain Jill's moves and everything, looks glitchy as fuck iirc.

I don't have a problem with the added stuff like the masks and Lisa. It is true that it gives a horror vibe that is different than the original, with a bigger accent on disturbing material. I think the whole thing serves two purposes, first giving higher horror stakes, as the horror standard evolves with time, and also because people already knew the original by definition, you gotta make things different by definition to keep it horrifying (horror stops being horrible when you're used to it). Secondly, it also serves to create a more believable base for the mansion ever existing. That's something they didn't think would be needed with the original, but with time they realize some people thought the mansion itself was kind of silly and therefore it needed some kind of deeper explanation, so having crazy people doing crazy things help.
