Haha ok good. Yeah I'm 27 and it's too scary, I need my security blanket of ink ribbons.
I do plan on going up a notch on a second playthrough, with Chris. But I just want to make sure I make it through the game once.

Around that but its replay value is very high.
For me to get immersed in games, I generally have to have the game in my vision and nothing else, that usually means playing at night with the lights out to blacken all my surroundings, similar to getting immersed in movies. If I can see my ugly walls and crappy carpet and the dust buildup on my TV stand in my peripherals, it takes me out of the experience quite a bit. It's the difference between being scared shitless by some random zombie moan and not even batting an eye to a crimson head chasing me down the hall.
Depends on how much prone you are to being stuck/lost. Could take you over 10 hours easily.
How so?

Chris and Jill actually have some big differences in their playthroughs, I kind of think as both together as the full game.
I have to say, having played the game many times before... I am finding it pretty difficult and stressful on "normal" lol. It probably is the best way to play it - you really feel like you're stuck in a fucking zombie filled mansion with very limited resources - but I don't think it's the best first way to play it. I think the best advice to first time players is start on, at most, the middle difficulty. If you bomb out your resources and screw up your save on "normal," you can screw the whole playthrough.
Oh man - how bout the fact that they are fucking terrifying.

The pitch black room adds to the atmosphere even more. I'm playing this game now in daylight as well as night but the atmosphere is enhanced at night. Also, I don't know where the dips are since I still didn't stumble on a dip. Just got the

Remember, aiming up close range isn't 100% headshot I don't think... but it's like 90%?

Literally runs solid 60fps @ 1080p on highest settings, my PC build is from 2010 so it doesn't require a ton of horsepower, Using a wireless Xbox 360 controller without any issues.

When people talk about games being scarier at night, it's usually because a) it's dark in the room they are playing in unless you already have it blacked out somehow, b) if you live with anyone else, they are usually less mobile and c) there's much less, if no outside noise to interfere with your concentration. Which isn't an issue if you're using headphones that drown out everything anyway.
Unless you live alone, with a sound-proofed environment, the outside factors do interfere. Regardless, most of the actual "scares" in the game are just joy-buzzer type scares anyway.

Yup, that goes for zombies as well. You'll probably just blow their arm off or drop them to their back which gives you a chance to position yourself away so you could shoot them more.

If you have incendiary rounds cleanup is easy peasy.

There are several modes you can unlock, more difficulty settings, unlockables items. And each character progress through the game in different ways.

Steam has me at 12hrs and just finished. Think end game said 9hrs or so
This is a case where being exclusive to single platform really hurt the game.
Imagine if REmake were available on PS2 on launch.It could've changed the series focus entirely.
Oh well I am very happy I got to experience this masterpiece now.People weren't exaggerating how good it really is.
Personally I avoid enemies if I can - killing them isn't always a good thing. For various reasons.
Just to add,
In REAL SURVIVAL
The Colt Python is a guaranteed head shot 99.99% of the time and an instakill for every other enemy not being a boss (that is the Yawn the second time and the Tyrant). Talking about the CP, don't waste it (if you manage to find it), you only have 12 rounds in all the game for this weapon.
By the way, the first time you encounter the Yawn you can skip the fight entirely.
A tip for recycle the daggers, you can recover them 2 or even 3 times (if you're lucky) inmediatly after you impale a zombie try to blow their head with the shotgun and you can recover the dagger.

I was digging around through my stuff and found this.
This'll come in handy on the later runs.
HOLY SHIT. I miss this book so, so much. Loved the poster!!

It really does. Classic RE is so, so good at this.
Think of your inventory as a puzzle in itself. You need the right pieces in it at the right time to streamline your journey and dramatically minimise backtracking. The satisfaction that comes with knowing what to take with you -and what to sacrifice- is one of the reasons RE is so much fun to play.
Of course, it's not for everyone, but then what kind of challenging, unforgiving game isn't frustrating at some point?

You really need to examine, look and read everything. The game isn't holding your hand like current games.
Crazy how side-tracked and unfocused games have become in the past 10 years or so.

About to start downloading this and I'm pretty excited! I had the remake for Gamecube but never beat it so this will probably be my first time finishing it

I'm trying to learn how to dodge zombies consistently. it's going to take awhile.

I'm glad that I waited so long to replay this game. I'd been mulling over the idea of playing it on Dolphin over the years, but never got around to it for various reasons.
It won't take as long as you might expect. The biggest complaint about the older RE games were the "tank" controls and fixed perspective, but it shouldn't take much more than an hour to adjust to it. They also implemented the "move in any direction" using the analog controls (I haven't tried them yet), so it might be even easier.

You can dodge zombies?
I'm with you. It's a wonderful way to experience it for, essentially, the first time.
Where I left off last night is as far as I got back on the GameCube. It's all new content to me from here on out. I left off at
blowing the dog whistle and getting the key

Resident Evil 3 also had a dodge command.
Does anyone have screenshots of how those areas looked originally? Never played the GCN version.

Ugh, the GB Quick Look for this is painful. New controls, widescreen, bitching about inventory management while playing as Jill (and having the emblem, blue diamond AND ink ribbons in his inventory for no apparent reason). Lol

Lol this is nothing new, the GB quick looks are often painful because they don't know or care to learn how to play games. I just watch them for the entertainment of seeing the person playing struggle
This was me last night. I haven't played it in 13 years so I don't know up from down. Spent about 5 minutes staring and thinking at the Armor Key trap (I think?) and the Shotgun last night, cursing the inventory space and ink ribbons. We've really been coddled.
That would actually be a great comparison.
Alo, have any screenshots of the areas that have been redone for this release?
Cringe worthy.
Yuck to both of them!!!

Why do you think games like this aren't made anymore? People want to know exactly how to play the game up front, and if they can't? Good riddance, shitty game.
What's a GB?
