Guys I just can't get into Resident Evil 1 and REmake for some reason
The only old school RE that I managed to beat from straight to end was Code Veronica.
There is something about REmake that just destroys me, the fact that the corridors are all cramped, Crimson Heads, that I can't do shit with the knife (I absolutely used my Knife a lot in Code Veronica), I don't know
People help me, what I'm doing wrong in engagements, how am I supposed to evade shit and use the knife to save ammo.
Throw the knife in the box. Unless you're really skilled, have practiced a lot and go for a knife challenge it's useless. Don't let it's overpowered state in CV trick you.
If you're playing on Normal or below you can kill most enemies without worrying too much. I'd only start the killing though until you have the means to dispose of their bodies (And do so if they're in often travelled corridors.) and scrounged up a decent ammount of ammo. Usually the first zombies I actually kill are the three zombies in the stair case room were you enter the eastern save room. (The one were you also find the canteen.)
Get zombies close enough to lunge for you, then run past.
After certain events zombies burst through the windows in some rooms if you walk through them again or if you enter a corridor from a certain direction. If these events screw up your game too much it's good to think about in which order you tackle things in the mansion, a lot of these events can be completly bypassed that way.
Remember your defense items, sometimes it's also a good idea to just run into the zombie blocking your way, instead of stocking up on daggers. Try to find good situations to deliberatly use them to save ammunition.
