Thanks for the advice. I guess what did it for me 10+ years ago was that barrier of entry: I find there's tremendous enjoyment in learning and mastering a game but to do that, the game has to rope you in in the first place.
Coming from 5 RE playthroughs, this slope should be less steep, particularly as I've come to appreciate minimalism when it comes to inventory and killing enemies. I still suck at dodging zombies though.
I think there are a few things the game never spells out that you have to learn on your own and assuage most of your concerns. This is IMO of course but:
- you don't really need hot swapping as you don't really need weapons 80% of the time. Honestly, there's maybe 15-20 enemies in all the game that you need to kill to make things easier. Half of them are in the last level.
- as a result, you don't really need to overburden yourself with weapons and ammo. Typically, I'm absolutely convinced the handgun is useless outside of killing a couple of dogs to get the collar. That means potentially 2 slots freed - gun and ammo. Another example is the courtyard and residence: it's entirely possible to do them without a weapon (if you use V Jolt as Jill, otherwise, you'll need one for that boss).
- outside of the shotgun where I tend to put it upwards, I totally ignore vertical aiming. I still believe aiming is a bit of a red herring in this game.
There is a dedicated reload button - just press it while aiming.
And you really don't need weapons swapping because most of the time you will only use one weapon at a time: handgun at the beginning of the game, shotgun later in the game and more powerful weapons (grenade launcher, magnum) against bosses. Because there really isn't that much enemies per room (or even in the entire game), you really don't need to constantly swap between weapons like in post-RE4 games.
And most of the time you only need to have two weapons with you: gun and shotgun (later in the game you will probably
Most of the time you only need to shoot forward. Aiming down is only required when you shoot zombies that are lying down or dogs when they are near you. Aiming up is only required against spiders that walk on ceiling and to headshot zombies using shotgun.
So i finished my chris walktrough but i didnt get to fight tyrant at the end and there was no self destruction, i just flared the helicopter and it was end, what the hell? Is it because i let rebecca die in the beginning of the game? I played on normal difficult, someone please help, i saved all my magnum for the final fight, lool
So... Biohazard 5?
Thank you,it was kind of a let down cause i had all that ammo for that final tyrant fight, you should had to fight him anyway, regards of the self mechanism or not, not gonna play the all game again just because of this final part, gonna start a jill playtrough now, is there any difference if you let the first guy to die, the one who needed the syrum?

So it's the best selling game on PSN! It obviously didn't flop.

Got all my 1000 achievements yesterdayStill one of my favorite games. Really hope the rumours about RE Zero are true.
RE0 isn't nearly as good as this game for those who haven't played it. Just fired it up on dolphin and played for a bit.

I don't think they will remake RE2.
IF they were going to do anything, it would be RE0 HD Remaster.

Man all these people who can finish Resi HD in less than 3 hours :/
I just finished my first playthrough of it with Jill on easy (think that was a mistake in hindsight but can't change it) and it took me 9 hours cos I had no idea where to go next most of the time

Cheers. I think someone on GAF noticed an icon for RE Zero on some promotional image. I know Zero isn't as good as REmake, but I'd love to play it again.
I used to own RE 1 to 4 on GameCube but sold my collection when the wife and I bought our first house.

I took my time with Chris. Savored the environments and atmosphere, visited every location, and tried to get every item. Did a speed run with Jill. Now bring on Billy and Rebecca!

Don't feel bad AT ALL. My first playthrough took me 16 hours
. Granted, I think I left it running for a few hours here and there, but my guess is it took me at least 10+ hours. I went through every nook and cranny of the game and got the good ending, so it was a lot of time.

last night i got to the shark tank after having a weird amount of trouble navigating the residence. i did the stupid water pressure puzzle and walked past the huge dead shark and everything was cool, until i walked past him again and HE MANAGED TO COME BACK TO LIFE AND EAT ME IN A FOOT OF WATER. like thrashing around and shit, there was nothing i could do. it was hilarious. that's why you don't give a shark the t-virus.
Most impressive.

Yep. I learned that one the hard way as well in the original version. Now I always make sure to shoot it with the pistol before passing by.
There's such a big difference between playing Jill on Easy and playing Chris on Normal.
With Jill on Easy I had more ammo and health items than I knew what to do with, I killed every single zombie I saw. Whereas with Chris on Normal I've ran away from at least half of the zombies yet I've only got 4 handgun bullets, zero health items and I'm currently up to the
bit. I had to kill the

I'm not a glutton for punishment at all and take no pride in having a game make me suffer but honestly, after finishing RS, I came to the conclusion that it's how the game is meant to be played once you know how everything flows.
I still love the conceit of the game that basically these crazy scientists gave the T virus to every possible asshole creature just to see how that would go. Just because they could.

You answered your own question above...
Or you can push the generator into the water and switch it on.

Aren't you supposed to push the power generator into the water and pull the lever to electrocute it?

they definitely would need another boss or 2. RE2 was too light on bosses. especially early on.

I've always thought I'd love to see one big scenario featuring the A & B games plus the opening cinematic as a playable section along with the cutscene when William Birkin injects himself.
~You should end up crossing paths with Jill, and have a Nemesis fight~
You know, that's why the idea of potential REmake 2 doesn't excite me anymore. We already have updated models of RE2 staff (be it from Darkside Chronicles, RE4 or RE6) and already saw how the RPD and few other locations would look like with improved graphics (Darkside Chronicles again, Birkin's lab in RE Zero). With REmake it was a huge upgrade from early PSX graphics to a new GameCube game with its detailed animated backgrounds and character models that even today look pretty good. RE2 was already spoiled by Darkside Chronicles and other titles.
By the time Leon and Claire arrived to Raccoon City, Jill and Carlos were already at St. Michael Clock Tower.
As much as I'd love that, but doesn't RE2 take place when Jill is out cold? It's been a long time since I looked at any kind of timeline though, so my memory is a bit fuzzy on that.
EDIT:
Or this.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This so much.
What we'd likely get is a playable Sherry sequence as she runs and hides from Birkin.

Well if they add more features I'm guessing they'd pull from the RE 1.5 well a bit and restore a few features from that maybe.

that could very easily be changed in a remake
Just beat the game with a time of 2:38. Does the handgun reward show up in a box? I ask because the infinite rocket launcher was already in my inventory when I booted up my next game of Hard Mode Chris.
Also, does using the rewarded special weapons disable earning achievements for that run? IE if I were to do a hard mode run, would I not get the hard mode achievement if I used the rocket launcher?

It starts in your inventory, and no, special weapons don't disable any achievements.
