Bhuster's Frights #7 - Resident Evil (COMPLETE)

I'm sorry I forgot to make this post for so goddamn long. I guess I got distracted by other things.

The first ever Resident Evil to come out, which evolved from a remake of an SNES (or NES, can never remember which) horror game, which in turn was an adaptation of a japanese horror movie.

I've wanted to play this for some time, so one night I did.

Turns out, that this game sucks.

I say that tongue-in-cheek, but I am having a rough go at it. I don't know how well the rest of the game is, but right now, I can tell you that I don't like the gameplay at the beginning. Resources are very strict (which I struggle with), your only melee weapon is a very short-ranged knife (which means that you can't fall back on it if you run out of ammo), your character doesn't lock onto enemies (so you have to aim your shit yourself), and sometimes you can't tell for sure if an enemy died (or, arguably worse, is if you overestimate the amount of health an enemy has; either way, you lose precious resources like ammo, and in some cases, health).

I WAS going to do both stories, but I will just call this game cleared if I beat Jill's campaign. One day I will return for Chris, but that will be a long while from now.

Hope you enjoy my suffering...
