is the entire game like this?

[hamsterofdeath]

i'm at the beginning, at the chainsaw battle.
i bought the game beause i liked re2 (remake) and this one had very positive reviews, but so far i got
* a world i don't buy. few people disappeared at place X, the police barely cares - but there are literally HUNDREDS of RE7 zombie-type villagers - there is no way leon happens to be the first who discovers this. there should be major battles going on. he should call for military support asap
* the game throws infinite zombies at me but gives me no clue as to what i am supposed to do
* recoil is horrible

is this just a bad start or will the game continue like this?

Pfft, RE 2 takes place months after RE 1 and the outbreak was going on at least for almost a week before Leon arrived having no idea. If you didn't have an issue with 2 you can't really have one with 4 since a middle-of-nowhere village isn't a city of 100k people. The only explanation in 2/3 is that the whole city belonged to Umbrella and things probably just escalated beyond control in the last 48 hours and that very day is enough to convince the president to just nuke the place. You're not even far enough into the game to draw conclusions about anything and I'm not gonna spoil it all.

It's a secluded location and it's clear the police don't really care, which isn't unusual, like is the police ignoring a possible problem really that hard to believe nowadays? Or Saddler is paying off the police generally to avoid looking too deeply, kinda overthinking this stuff lol

Also it's a b-movie, like most of what Resident Evil tends to be, you have to suspend your disbelief abit to have some fun with the goofy story. It's that standard "One man army" action movie premise.

It's definitely a different game from RE2R, you can't be faulted for that, RE4R is more actiony than survival horror and it's mostly likely that for a lot of the game. Recoil is something adjusted with new weapons and upgrades you get.

Lol, playstation version.

my issue with RE4 is the "what must have happened before"
i can buy a "1 week outbreak" explanation. i assumed "the government or something" blocked the news from spreading, or leon was just forgotten, his superior died and hence didn't inform him. doesn't matter. he is just a single person. i'm sure you'll find people who learned about corona with a long delay.
but the RE4 version in RE2 is: there's an outbreak for a week and the inhabitants don't notice it

Ok I'm sorry, but from what you have posted, this game isn't for you. I suggest refunding it now before it's too late.

They were released the same year kid. Not something you would remember since you weren't alive then.

Non of the games were realistic at their core. Non of this stuff can ever realistically happen. The moment you try to force realism into the conversation about a zombie/mutation/parasite game you have missed the train.

This is exhibit a of why people can't enjoy themselves anymore. Arbitrary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rules of things have to be "realistic"

I remember when games just had to be fun. Good ol days.

Yeah the version that had more content. Sold the GC version because I thought it was not needed. But that ended up being stupid since it was the graphically better one + the costumes actually showed up in cutscenes.

Okay, so you know the Nemesis, right? Since the RE1 remake it's canon that thing was made by using the parasites from the village. Umbrella at least had knowledge of the place and they're well organized enough to have just bought everyone needed to disappear the place from the map. The village is like that for a few decades. Seriously, the plot is only as silly as 2. No more no less. It all just depends on you believing people can be payed to ignore probable murder.

It's an isolated village in rural Spain. It wouldn't be a stretch that people outside the village wouldn't know a thing about it, especially when all its inhabitants are infected with Plagas.

You could just assume they have little to no contact with government, law enforcement, or really the outside world there. Leon is also a government agent operating on foreign soil, so they wouldn't exactly sound the alarms about it for the limited time that he's there, especially as it may endanger his target.

Are you complaining about the believably of a Resident Evil game? The series has always operated on cheesy B movie logic.

As for the infinite zombies, if your in the big village square, you are just supposed to survive. That entire sequence is meant to illicit panic and teach you the mechanics as a trial by fire.

There are some encounters in this game I have serious gripes with, the village scene is not one of them,

RE is VERY consistent with their non use of realism.

They just lack the lavish gem based puzzles that made you believe everyone was drowned in bribes in the OG RE2.
