Current Events > Ughh, RE0 can be a real chore

(+) Yeah! (+)

Having to take care of the AI thats keeps fucking shit up. Or go alone and then just waste your whole day doing things one by one

---

Yeah, and there's a reason it was the last RE game to use the classic system. They tried getting rid of item boxes and the whole thing just failed.

But...it was this game that eventually led to Resident Evil 4. So...there's some good in that.

I love having to lug the grappling hook around for 90% of the game.

This does suck but use it at the train and drop it. You wont need it again until after the church boss. So you can leave by the observatory room. Then, youll use it once more by the train

RE0 has two of the most annoying monsters in RE games; the monkey and the leech zombie.

The monkey zombie thing is just awful with the the way they can just stun lock the shit out of you. And the leech zombie dies easily with the molotov but it moves so fast and the molotov throwing animation is so slow.

It's a shame too cause the train was fucking awesome and hearing the RE2 music once you get to the church was awesome back when it came out.

That's what I meant by lugging it around. You can't completely abandon it until almost the end of the game.

I once left it... in the church looking area and had to backtrack for it for the final time.

Well that sucked, I just lost some decent time without saving. Was at the factory before proto fight. Was solo with billy and I got caught in a corner and just kept grabbed and died :(

My favorite part of RE0 is Rebecca's big fat butt.

Why do people have such a hard time with the inventory in this game? Use the main hall and the train wreck as a dumping ground for your items that you dont have space for.

In areas where you know there are enemies, just park becca in the corner and use billy for the fight. If you need to use her as bait, you easily can.

Stockpile mollys to use on those key leechmen in those frequently traveled areas, and dont even bother shooting eliminators or crawlers unless you have a bunch of excess ammo laying around.

RE0 just isn't worth the time nor the effort.

ite just annoying imo. I think the best way is to just dump the handguns. I usually just keep an upgraded one and ditch the other. Running past the leech man seems the most optimal. They die with 3 Mollys which makes it easy but on hard it takes more so its just not worth it. Dumping the grappling hook right at the main knight door makes it easier too

I never saw the problem with the gameplay. I liked how it was simpler and straightforward than the others and the item dropping is more realistic than teleporting items, even if a bit clunky. The story is a bit bare and Rebecca/Billy has nothing to do with the actual origins of Umbrella and Marcus other than accidentally stumbling upon them and picking up files (you could say that about all the games but at least the others seemed slightly more involved) but it was still entertaining enough.

the problem is that just hogs down gameplay. Constantly having to stop, switch items, trade items, bend down and pick up items. The AI can just spend all day walking into enemies when youve cleared them. If you dont want to struggle with them, then you end up going through the same areas back to back to avoid damage in areas. Leech hunter is the worst mini game ever

I dont think it hogs up gameplay that much when you manage your inventory well, only have one weapon between for each character at a time and use up all the grenade and magnum rounds as you get them. I found REmakes running back and forth, backtracking all over the place with the different keys, and even more if youre burning zombies to prevent crimson heads, a lot more disorienting than 0, especially on a first run. Ive never had trouble with the AI around enemies. Most zombies in narrow corridors should be killed since theyre harder to avoid than REmakes and they help in bringing them down, but they avoid the other enemies pretty easily. Leech hunter is pretty bad, I agree. It needs a guide and still takes over an hour without saving for 100%.

Well I guess we will see how I feel about it tomorrow. Im gonna try and do the no save, no heals run. I just finished hard mode, which was a little frustrating honestly. The best part is you can basically stunlock every boss but Marcus 1 and you bait around Marcus 2. I was really pushing my luck when the game ended. I had burnt too many healing items and had one between both. But I had 202 handgun rounds, 20 shotgun, and several grenade launcher rounds. First run in a couple years and I finished at 3:45. So not bad

Billy's handgun being better than Rebecca's is weird

You can probably assume he took it off one of the MPs that were guarding him. It makes sense that the military would have a better pistol than the RCPD.

Youre going to have to keep in mind the lurker spawn locations. Theyre the run killers of no saves. They can insta kill at low health if they snag you. Always be prepared to blast them at close range with a shotgun. You can keep running at the scripted one and it wont get you unless youre injured. Also yeah, marcus 2 is the problem after that. You really just need to hope you have enough shotgun ammo and any remaining magnum ammo to be able to stall it long enough for Rebecca to open the valves. If you know what youre doing you can consistently kill Marcus 1 with 200ish handgun rounds (on hard) without damage, saving ammo for your stronger weapons.
Of course, if youre doing easy all of this should be a complete cakewalk.

Wow I just realized the lurkers can spawn outside of the drained bridge. Thats the only place I have ever seen them in near 20 years. No idea they could spawn in the forklift room. The one on the bridge I just run through

this game perfectly highlights how stupid key item management was. all it did was artificially pad game time. good riddance.

I believe these are all the spawn locations. I dont think they spawn until the scripted one at the bridge.

Oh wow, I dont think I have ever honestly seen one spawn outside the initial bridge

I just think Robert Kendo's special guns would be better

I think the 2 worst are the FUCKING monkeys and those giant piece of shit frogs that have a OHKO attack that can get you from like 20 feet away. Leech guys aren't that bad because molotovs

I didn't play RE0 until PS4, and personally I thoroughly enjoyed it. With the inventory system you had to think ahead and you didn't always get it right, but if you died you could just choose a different approach next time. Personally I liked trial and error in games so I really liked it.
