First encounter impossible?

[w13d0w]

What's up with the first encounter with multiple enemies being almost impossible? No matter how perfect I am, I still get overwhelmed. I feel like I'm playing left 4 dead with re controls. Is the entire game like this?

[DarkSamus]

Nope. RE4 and RE5 also threw you into an overwhelming encounter in chapter 1-1.

Haven't played Village myself yet, but if it follows RE5s ways then just keep running around until it's over.

That ^

You aren’t supposed to kill them all lol.

[w13d0w]

What are you supposed to do then?

[British Superman]

Just survive for long enough, I believe.

Run between buildings and block the doors with the shelves to give you time to survive long enough.

[mie001]

Nope, it just playing on you. When you have enough firepower and upgrade, those werewolf would be nothing

[Silvan]

Killing these hordes is senseless anyway. You can kill them all on New Game + but it'll give you nothing but an achievement for killing Urias.

[Irrapture]

Literally just survive for as long as you can until the cutscene triggers.

[TheHeadlessMonk]

I Believe the exact time you need to survive is a tad over 5 minutes.

There's the 2 level house you can run into and use the shelf to block the door. That will hold a few back for a couple of minutes. You can line up a couple of head shots on the ones swinging at the door.

When they break the door, run into the next room (that has ammo and an herb I believe), then go down the ladder where there's a tunnel out. Lure a couple guys to the flour and hit that, it will disorient them and allow you to run outside. Then sprint around looking for more flour or the explosive barrel. You cannot kill the big guy on your first play through. But around that point they should be called off.

The rest of the game is not like that no, but there are times where mechanics make you play a little different. Like invincible enemies until you find their weakness, then they can be killed. So its kind of cat and mouse'ish. Or times you just have to keep running and avoiding enemies until you get to a safe area.

vos and maybe even hard core you have to either ignore all trash enemies or use op ng+ stuff standard you can kill every thing you see and hard core you might have to ignore stuff vos requires ignoring everything but bosses practically with out ng+ items, idk why the delux edition even unlocks it when its borderline unplayable in a hardcore setting

I haven't tried this and took a beating like a champ in harcore, but couldn't you just wait midway on the ladder in the house in which you can go to the roof ?

You need to kill 4-5 Lycans first to trigger the countdown. Then you can wait out the timer on the ladder - but you need to come down and run around a bit for the next part to trigger.
