Real Survivor isn't TOO bad as long as you use your ink ribbons carefully and don't spread your inventory around too many chests. For the Dorms you really only need to take a few things with you. The hardest thing to deal with IMO was the manual aiming. And the fact that I couldn't bring my Samurai Edge with me
My first post in this magnificent forum, good to be here finally.
Just wanted to say that i'm playing this game and having a blast, takes me back in time when I was playing this back in the day.

One thing that sucks about unlockable costumes like that for me, especially since you have to play through it twice to even it get it, is I wish I could play the game with it, but by the time I get it...I'll have felt I experienced the whole game more than enough already that I won't even want to play it a third time to have it with that outfit. Wish it was just unlocked from the start in this release of it.
Have you seen the leaderboards on the PC? all at 00:00:00. Damn them cats is quick.
Any chance they are going to reset them, or is it a lost cause now?

Maybe 1/4 of the way. Can't remember exactly how far cause my first time has been a long time ago and I don't know if I remember everything you still need to do. But you still got plenty to go.
But all the next areas are significantly shorter than the first mansion visit. I'd say he's about a third through. Of course that estimate doesn't account for getting stuck on a puzzle for hours later in the game. Just progressionwise it's about a third.
Really getting beaten around by this game. Just going around the mansion collecting bits and pieces, haven't triggered any of the major story events. There's a lot of crimson heads wandering around, pretty hard to take down with the pistol. I need to get my shit together and make some tangible progress.
These speedrun times are amazing. I've been playing for hours, being very careful to conserve ammo and avoid enemies, and I only have one death mask, haven't left the mansion, and have yet to encounter
Yawn
at all. I'm enjoying the hell out of it though, just like I did the original RE.

Are you me? The only difference is that I've been killing enemies where ever I encounter them and burning zombies whenever possible. I've only had two zombie's return as crimson heads so far.
I just had the 4 zombies that busted through the east wing of the first floor. The same stretch of corridor where you get the real shotgun
. Fucking dog ripped my throat when I went back outside a second time for more kerosene to burn those bastards. I shudder at the thought of
My problem is that I've recently finished the game completely so I'm thinking in terms of my time and not really normal time. The final area, for example, can be cleared in under half an hour.
I'd probably say 25% of the game is done when you leave the mansion. Although I do feel like the Mansion is the hardest part of the game too which is why I upped that % a little bit.
How many in this thread is it the first time playing? Never even realized there was this huge segment of people that never played the game...but i guess it makes sense being only on the gamecube and wii. Reading all the posts is entertaining.
I'm doing a knife only run at the moment on Very Easy.
It's pretty pedestrian for the most part. I'm still in the mansion, and the only thing to give me any trouble so far was the balcony dog. Chris can take about 4 bites on this mode before even dropping to red caution, and given the abundence of health items and the lack of zombies you should be OK. Some of them drop in as few as 2 knife swipes too.
Only bits of this knife run I'm not looking forward to are the Crimson Head Elder and the Tyrant. I figure Black Tiger and Yawn should be reasonably easy to beat and you can breeze past most of the hunters in the game without even attacking them.

Courtyard B2? Basically after escaping from Lisa in the mines and then later defeating her with Barry, I forgot where the ladder leads up to that is in her room down in the mines.
I played on the hike setting, which is apparently easy mode? Not a time to be proud of at all, but this was my first time ever playing the game. So there's that. Really enjoyed it, though I found the inventory to be a bit of an annoyance. I've no problem with limiting how many weapons and health items and how much ammo you can carry around, but doing that at the same time as limiting how many keys and plot items you can carry was a pain.
Think I'll start a Jill playthrough now and see if I can cut down that playtime now that I have a better idea of what to carry with me.
It's not that bad. It makes moving around a little more intuitive and it actually makes transitions from one camera angle to the next harder to deal with. It won't make dodging zombies in narrow hallways any easier.
after using the hexagonal crank three times as soon as you leave the inventory menu the cinematic for the second boulder starts.
Now just hold Square+Up to evade it (original controls type b).
Finally started playing this, going to kill my first boss. It's incredible how timeless this game remains. I love how everything clicks back into place as I progress.
First boss / NPC question:
playing as Jill, I've saved Richard and I remember letting him take care of the boss so as to save ammo. Is there any downside to doing this? IIRC Richard always dies one way or the other, doesn't he?
Also, while we're going down memory lane, this was my first exposure to the original game. That trailer was on the Japanese disc to SF Zero on PS1: http://youtu.be/w-YAFW5W-uY
In retrospect, I'm kind of amazed this somehow got me to import the game day one. That is so out of tone.

Oh my god. That trailer is incredible. Hahahahaha. I love the part where he's using the flamethrower with nothing in the room and just spinning in a circle. The music is golden too.
This is my first playthrough of the game, so it was pretty cool to recognize a lot of those locations in the trailer.
