Re: Resident Evil 2 (Remake officially confirmed) WE DO IT!
RE4 was awful. There was no horror. It was a 3rd person shooter. The story was awful with Plagas, it went from a hyper reality and down to earth where you played as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances to playing as a superhero with an emo fringe who jumps out of windows and lands in a pose every time.
... But in all of the earlier Resident Evil's they did crazy **** time to time too. Infact I can remember steve jumping and flipping through a window from an even greater height, landing and shooting a bandersnatch while not even looking at it then finishing it off with a Kick. Nicolai constantly jumping out of windows from explosions, and one of them from the 3rd floor of a hospital? I agree the tone felt more intense but they still got away with some crazy unrealistic ****. It just seems more in your face in 4 because it was a gameplay mechanic not a story reason.
Enemies dissolved and left you money or bullets, they were slower and more stupid than zombies. Boss designs were boring and started off the whole 'shoot the glowing orange bit'.
I had more ammunition when I reached El gigante than I did when I got to the dead factory in RE3. There was insane amounts of ammunition and health. There was no tension because of that.
Regenerators/iron maidens were tense for 10 seconds. from then on you could use a mere pistol and shoot left leg, waist then right shoulder and thats it. Oh throw in a 4th one on the back.
You have a problem with the enemies dissolving? Well thats pretty... stupid. The game had huge open areas where new enemies needed to despawn so new enemies could respawn. Thats progress in technology. Otherwise youd be playing a 3rd person shooter where you need to wait for 5 seconds every time you want to go in to a new room so it can load new enemies and scenery. And its realistic that the enemies dropped bullets and cash. They were towns folk. It was more realistic than in the previous resident evil games that they didnt drop anything. That it was only the pre-set corpse that youd find laying down that would give you ammo. You go through the entire station in RPD and kill all the cops and get nothing other than the 2 corpses already there.
Enemies were slower and more stupid? The ganados who can form groups, and enter a house via a window, door and ladder at the same time? Throw molatov cocktails, shoot crossbows and operate machinery. They can run and hurl their weapons at you. Were you playing this on easy?
I agree some of the boss designs sucked, but i have no idea where you think the trend of shooting the glowing orange bit came from. Maybe the final boss because his eye happened to be orange?
As for the amount of ammo you have after fighting Elgigante, and how you explained fighting the Regenerators it sounds like you are playing the game on easy, and its one of your new game +'s. If you know pro tips against enemies then of course they will be trivial.
I really get confused when people **** over every aspect of a game and then praise it at the end saying it did many great things when the enemies, story, characters, gameplay, tone and item management system have already been assassinated.
