Its abstract-ish and 90s edgy. You had to be alive in the 90s to get that it was a fuckin awesome title. Biohazard is also pretty awesome but it didnt stick out enough like resident evil does.

You have to learn the timing which is perhaps non-obvious, but once you've got the timing down it's 100% consistent.
Well, 100% consistent on the dodge. If you don't manage your positioning jill might dodge INTO the scenery and Nemesis will bitch slap you for your impertenence.

Biohazard kind of gives away the game before you even open it up. Plus a game called BIOHAZARD can be almost anything. It doesn't really scream horror, ya dig.

Fight nemesis, he drops cool items. Handgun is the best weapon against him, It deals little damage but its rate of fire is high. Watch for his dominant arm and run pass the opposite side so that he cannot grab you. It's okay if you struggle, he is a challenging boss even when you know the game like the back of your hand.

Enjoy what is probably the absolute peak of tank controls, the game is slick and plays like a dream.

It was named Resident Evil because it takes place in a mansion. It made less sense in later games with more varied environments, but the name had stuck by then.

Some would argue it made it more strategic to either avoid killing certain zombies where you can slip by, conserving ammo in the process.

Or by clearing the area and never returning, such as the right quarter of the mansion on the ground floor with the shotgun room. Once you got what you need theres no reason to return other than to have the enemies you killed turn crimson or have it repopulated after the guard house, either one is enough to make you avoid that area entirely.

So, in a realistic aspect, you're avoiding areas where triggering dead enemies would drain ammo and you're also thinking more about closest shortcuts around the mansion. You're entitled to your opinion though.

>> No.5308775

>>5308745
Also, they can't turn into crimson heads if you blow their heads off, so if you can't get past them, aim high.

>> No.5308829

>>5308775

That too. But the zombie headpop with the shotty has gotta be dead on with them being right up in your grill and the shotgun pointing up fully.

Then again try that in the Plant corridor or the Lab for too long and it's almost guaranteed gangbang territory. Especially with Jill

This is my first time playing any RE titles so I wouldn't be able to tell you. But so far I'm really enjoying it. The puzzles are fairly easy though, I don't think I would call them puzzles so far.
>the game just boiled down to running around in circles trying every key in every door to find the next morsel of progress.
I recommend making a map. I will be doing that myself for the locked doors.

I'm really enjoying this game. Like, a lot. It has two things I really like about two other games I really like:

1. The backtracking to unlock new areas, something I loved about Vagrant Story (and Metroidvanias in general).
2. The rush of going to unknown territory hoping to find ink ribbons, much like finding a Bonfire in Dark Souls. And the satisfaction of finding said ribbons and being finally able to save your hard-earned progress.

I also blew a zombie's head clean off with a shotgun, felt really nice. I've still got to get used to the tank controls (or maybe I've gotten used already and I just find them annoying).

>> No.5310098

daily reminder you're a bitch if you play with auto-aim on

>> No.5310157

>>5308213
When you check the locked doors, the character gets a description of what is carved in the lock itself, which is a big hint on what key it needs to be opened. Similarly, if you examine the keys you get via the 'Check' option in the inventory, you get a description of the key and "old key" suddenly chnages its name to "desk key" or "sword key".

>>5309949
I would advice to be stingy with the shotgun ammunition. It has a higher destructive power than the handgun and you may want to always keep 4 or 5 shotgun bullets with you at the very least just in case.
