I'm a wimp and I didn't find it that scary, although it did make me jump like twice the part where you walk by a dead hanging body and it falls down, and when Mr X crashes through that wall.

I'm not a huge fan of remakes that redo mechanics and aesthetics of their original versions, and I'm still not entirely cool with the idea of them redoing the voice acting, but even I will admit that the remake is pretty good in terms of modern gaming standards.

Of course, that just makes it even more sad that one of the best games of the last year is actually a 20-year old game.

When I played back in college, I started out playing alone in my apartment, at night and with all the lights off for atmosphere.

By the end of the game I was basically playing sort of curled into a fetal ball on the couch with every single light in the apartment on, every door deliberately left open, and the chain locking the front door. It amped up my innate paranoia and feeling of unease in ways no game since has ever managed, other than (maybe) the first couple Fatal Frame games and Clock Tower (but RE was definitely the first game to ever really evoke that sort of reaction). All the modern YouTube bait jumpscare simulators can startle you, but early RE just creeped me the fuck out and made me uneasy in general.

I think sometimes remakes are a decent idea when an old game is fondly remembered but is really obtuse compared to modern gameplay mechanics

I like this and the original version. As a kid, I could never beat the original. Partly because I was too scared. I liked this one a lot.

I think it's mainly because you're just starting. I could barely find anything, including stuff I needed to progress... Well, I knew where it most likely was, but I didn't want to go there because I just made a mess of the place... Haha.

You're not supposed to shoot every zombie

Also, this. You have to let those guys just roam around. Which makes it's kind of creepier because you know they're out there.

Also, I heard a tip from a friend when I was streaming: Kneecap them. It's makes it harder for them to move around. Plus, they may die from it sometimes. Headshots are worthless. At least, early on. Probably later on, as well...

like others said don't kill every zombie, only the ones in areas you need to repeat visit, just blow their leg out and they become as threatening as gerbils.

Do that and by the end of the game(even without doing it) you may as well have infinite ammo for most of your guns.

There are areas, where you know you're going to be coming back to that area often, that it's ok to go for head shots to try and get that lucky crit then when you come back to that area the zombies are already dead. You know that hallway where there's a zombie trying to get in the snack machine and one zombie lying on the floor? Right there you want to kill both of those zombies and then board up the window down the hall.

Oh, if you are going for zombie kills though, you do want to wait until your crosshair "zooms" in, then you deal max damage.

Once you figure out how he works and his attacks he becomes the least threatening enemy in the game.

This is true, but I think it's best to not look it up. At least not through your first play through.

Reminds me of a moment from the original I still remember in spite of playing it 20 years ago. Where I beat him in one room, then left the room, and 30 seconds later he comes punching through the wall and I'm like "Come the fuck on!"

Protip: Just walk.You won't aggro zombies unless you walk into their line of site, you won't aggro lickers unless you walk into them, and Mr. X won't know where you are unless you cross paths on his patrol. 2nd run was a breeze for me because of this.

There's no actual spoilers in there, but I blocked it out in case you don't want tips.

Good tips right there, I'm actually glad I didn't know about that stuff for my first play through though.

I figured out the thing with lickers based on one of the in game documents

And yeah things are a bit easier now than Im just shooting the legs off of most zombies and then running around them

In the game, especially on your first play through, you can read that document and then when you see a licker and try to walk past, it raises it's head and music plays. Thus making it real easy to think the Licker is going to attack you. not gonna lie, I thought that meant it was going to attack and only after I read about it I knew that while it can hear you, it doesn't attack at that point.

Lol! On my first playthrough of the original I got to the final boss with one box of bullets and the knife.

Needless to say, I had to restart the game. But I was a lot smarter by then. And I went on to beat the game hundreds of times.

I just cant decide which Hunk was more difficult. Gonna go with the original though, as I remember having taken more tries.

theres opened boxes of ammunition and loose gunpowder just lying around all over the place and the combinations to safes are just scribbled onto paper notes and left around for anyone to find
