I think I'm about halfway through. The boss fights certainly are, but the "standard" enemies I've seen so far require a simple headshot or two

Top 3 in the genre to me. So good, I'm very surprised.

Yes, it's surprisingly easy to circle strafe out of their lunges/attacks while you keep slashing away at it. Or if you don't think you can dodge, guarding against their attack does less damage than you would think. (unless you're on madhouse, then I don't know. I'm playing on normal.)
No. Headshots matter

Guys, this game is in another league compared to Alien:Isolation. I love this game.
They seem like the blue medallions of RE4 so I assume it's a gun you get.
They don't go through doors if you close them.

I'm actually doing well with ammo but seriously what is up with this
section full of molded
I know you can knife them but it seems hard as fuck. I was managing clearing out rooms until

Any pro MLG strats, friends?

I just got to the first safe room. That's not a spoiler, right? Went outside to find myself back in that hallway. Had to turn it off for a bit. It's too late and I'm too tired. Great game that I'll probably have to beat in hour long chunks.
Run.

Alright I put about 3 hours into the game and I can safely say, this game is trash and the reviewers are praising it the same way they praise "Sundance film festival" movies.
This is NOT resident evil (yes I've played them all and RE 1 is my favorite game)
This IS amnesia/outlast with a smidge of resident evil thrown in. Aiming is terrible, enemies are completely boring and it's literally "oh no run away" every 15 minutes.
Anyone who says this isn't amnesia/outlast is a damn liar and you should be ashamed for getting people to buy this game without being truthful to what it actually is.
Ammo isn't sparse at all, the problem is enemies are bullet sponges to the point of being ridiculous. Really 5 shots to the head for basic enemies? Oh no crazy red neck dude is here, better put 30 bullets into him
Boss fights or fights with the bakers are extremely poorly done. Do I fight? Am I even supposed to fight? Is this one of those "oh you're gonna get caught anyways moments? Did I waste a bunch of ammo shooting for no reason? Do I... Run to a certain spot to "make" the boss remember he's supposed to be triggered to do something different?
Hide from the crazy people, who tend to always mosey their way into your area while hiding... Ya know because it adds "tension".
I'm glad you guys seem to enjoy it but there is literally no point in giving the player a gun in this game, it's useless. I can shoot what his face 10 times in the head and all I did was waste 10 bullets for no reason. The atmosphere is fantastic.
If this is the direction of resident evil then I'm out after 6 games and spin offs.
Yes I'm ranting... Because I wanted resident evil and I was excited. If they got rid of the stupid ass run away shit every 15 min and added more than one enemy type... This game would be gold.

Boo :'(
Jack doesn't seem to take that many bullets but I will agree that 3 headshots (or approximations of headshots because these things are goo and dancing constantly) is a bit much for basic enemies.
Plenty of ammo it seems.
(Also it doesn't seem like the game is giving me the prompt to close doors half the time which is annoying for running)
Oh hey, I'm in the exact situation with likely the exact same molded. I can't play rn but we'll get through this.

Yeah, everyone besides you is a liar and/or wrong. You're a totally reasonable and rational human being.
Please.

It's nothing like them, it shares more in common with classic RE and 70's horror movies than anything else. I'm completely ashamed of saying this by the way, (wtf?) thanks for the shitty criticism though.
Also want to point at this for how ridiculous it is
...Sounds like someone doesn't understand art. Comical ignorance on display, pal.
You have ammo to kill things. So the strat is to use your ammo and kill things.

it is harder on vr, the movement is not as fast as without vr. I wish I could have started on easy with vr

Would like to know as well.

I love Pokken!
The fact there is a gun in this game makes you 100% wrong.

You're right. A gun that doesn't do anything productive lol
Well it kills stuff. So, it sort of does.

The game is trash? Child please.
I suggest you explore other areas that you should be able to unlock
speaking of, the shotgun seems absurdly good. One shot headshots are killing even the big mutant guys

So guys, ElfArmy is complaining about regular enemies taking 5 headshots and wants old Resident Evil back.
Someone wanna remind him how many shots regular zombies took in RE1?

The trailer in the yard? Weird, don't see them anywhere.
Regular enemies require ~3 headshots and are slow so you have time to aim. Bosses can definitely be spongy.
So I can look at my map, think of a door I wanna run to, run for it and then I'm safe once inside? This really is RE.
Its so hard, I keep playing in bursts the tension is too much. But the game is so good, i keep going back. Im going to have to buy a cbd strain tomorrow to keep my anxiety down

You're probabaly 2 rooms away from
a gun that kills those enemies in a single blast, good luck with the other varieties tho.
I finished it, best RE.

Pretty Sure it was 4 or 5. Lol.
They purposely limited ammo so you would be forced to run.

New strat for molded, hot off the presses

why are you wasting your time shooting him.
most of the areas you have to go through is not guarded by him. The second area was similar - very little in the way of hiding... largely tense exploration and combat.
I could be wrong, but I think
that was a secret spot where you need to get the treasure map photo for it to have it revealed, at least that how I guessing those treasure map spots work. The toilet is alongside the storage box and save part of the trailer.
Nemesis didn't die permantly after getting shot.
Fuck guys, RE3 isn't an RE game. Fucking Crapcom.
