Sad there's no Mr. X.
I haven´t played it through once. Really struggling with the difficulty in "normal".
Playing casual mode on this game is one step away from just watching a play through on youtube. The game literally aims the gun at the head of the nearest enemy simply by pushing the aim button. Theres surplus if health and ammo. The whole game is built on atmosphere and suspense. Without there being threat of death, danger and absence of ammo and health theres no point in buying the game. Theres plenty of games i have interest in but never buy because i can watch on youtube ( Quantic dream games ). So id say if you dont want to have to use your brain while playing this game just watch on youtube.
I do use my brain...and my boss thanks me many times for it.
When you work a lot of overtime, coming home around 11 pm almost everyday, sometimes even later...from solving and fixing things doing programming...the last thing I need is to use when I come home is my brain. Its already fried.
I play videogames now to unwind and relax. That's why I even enjoy telltale, and telltale-type of games. They're not hard but has great storytelling.
I love this game, and playing on easy and watching on youtube is two different things. I want to play the game. I also dont want to get frustrated anymore playing and wanting to throw the controller.
Play how you like bud. That's why the choice is there.
Dude, don't listen to that judgement, Play it how you want to play it.
There is an easy mode for a reason.

There's no shame in playing on casual. lol
I used to never play it on easy years ago, but life happens, and I dont really get to play video games much like I used to.
So now I play it strictly for fun, and to see the storyline. So if there's an easy mode, Its now my default.

Oh yeah. I was already expecting a newb type of comment when I mentioned playing on easy. lol
I play how I want to.
agreed. Normal mode caught me off guard with the challenging aspect of 'use the bullet/save the bullet'
Finished my playthrough in both scenarios.
It was a fun game.
I just didn't like how both characters had to do the same puzzles. Obviously they were traveling through the same areas, so who killed Plant 43? Why are both characters having to unlock the doors with the same keys? Did Mr. X take the plugs out of the U-door and scatter them across the facility after Claire gathered them the first time? Why isn't one set of doors already unlocked in the B scenario? That sort of thing.
None of the 4 scenarios complement either of any, and that's the biggest flaw in this game. It's evident that scenario B wasn't on the table and was rushed somewhere late in development.
That scenario system seems like such a fundamental part of the game, it's crazy that it would've been a last-minute thing.
Though I seem to recall it the game having a troubled development. At one point, wasn't it rumored that it was going to be released in episodic installments?

The sad thing is how with just some minor edits - all of that could have been easily fixed. Like, rather than fight Birkin in the same spots just have a forced showdown with MR X or something after those areas have been wrecked by the scenario A fight. Edit out the contradictory scenes (that is if it was too late to record new dialog bits and they didn't have the time to animate new stuff) I'd rather Scenario B have LESS cinematics than have ones that contradict A.
That’s how the game was designed 20 years ago .... they aren’t meant to deviate from that..
