When Does This Game Get Fun?

[Stackbabbing Bumscag]

I just died for the third time in a row in chapter 1-2, just after meeting the merchant for the first time. Each time, I cleared most of the area before dying, so I had to repeat a decent chunk of identical gameplay. It's not so much hard as it is heavily frustrating to replay 5+ minutes to get back to die at basically the same spot. Is this basically the whole game, or does the gameplay ever actually get good?

I've heard so many good things about the story (namely, that it's about perfectly camp, just straightfaced enough to make the silliness better), I just wonder if it's worth playing to get there.

The entire game is fun, you just suck. :)

Tear off your ♥♥♥♥ and shove it directly up your ass. I am not having fun. Do I have to just deal with the early game, or will I just not have fun in this game?

If the game isn't fun for you yet, then it probably isn't going to get there. I see you haven't quite reached two hours yet, so I'd get a refund while you still can.

If you're playing for the "campy" story, then I'd say definitely refund. If that's what you're looking for, play RE1 (not the remake) or Shadows of the Damned.

I sense you already have your answer though, since you bothered to make this thread.

If you're playing for the "campy" story, then I'd say definitely refund. Then again, I've never been one to find camp legitimately enjoyable, beyond mild "haha I guess" moments.

There have been games that I've had to make several attempts to "get", but wound up enjoying. Lots of games have lousy openings. I just wanted to know if this was one of them (for me), or if the gameplay would improve. I guess not. I don't really blame the game for this, third-person shooters were still finding their feet on consoles when this was made.

Yeah, what you see in the opening is what you get.

If you're not having fun already, that's unlikely going to change in the long run, more like it may get even worse.

The game is basically about wiping out hordes of the same enemies so you can move to the next area. They'll just get reskinned and will get a few more weapons eventually, but they're basically constant hordes of the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemies through the whole game, with the exception of specific nice segments where you thankfully have to fight against other monsters or bosses.

And that's pretty much it. For people who love shooters it should be a great game, though if you're really not into that genre or if you were looking for something else, then it can be really a chore to play through.

Sounds like you just suck ^_^

The initial stages are more corridor shooter-y. It may get a lot better for you once you get to the castle, but that is a long way ahead. Also, getting used to the control scheme takes time, up to a few hours. Combat is, actually, believe it or not, laughably easy for the most part, especially against the human-looking enemies in the first two major areas.

Generally, if you cannot find anything worthwhile until the end of 2-1, then I suggest just giving up. Despite its fame and popularity, RE4 is not for everyone, as it tries to be both a classic survival horror and a third-person shooter, but actually it is mediocre at both (just comes off as a good combination).
You may try RE5 if you want a shooter or RE1 if you want a survival horror though. Both concentrate on those fields exclusively and do rather good jobs at it.

RE4 was my very first RE Game I played, and thoroughly, if in a twisted "I am so scared way", enjoyed, without any prior knowledge. I disliked RE1 HD Remake I played afterwards, due to limited saves and crimson heads, but I loved RE2 and 3

you dont have to clear the whole area
survival horror games are about saving your ammo and supplies you can run and conserve and use your knife etc.
if youre dying a lot in the first chapter and the game isnt fun then it isnt going to get any better for you maybe you wont like it

theres only 2 crimson heads in the entire game if you do knife-only and you only have to fight 1 of them :)

Oh, the typical "you suck" argument. Think a bit outside the box and you'll realize that not everyone has fun playing the same kind of games.
