Are bosses too easy?

[Captain Kacknoob]

First time I played an RE game was when I was 7 years old playing Resi 3/Dino Crisis when it first came out.

Never touched RE again until now, so pls forgive any noob questions.

I am playing this remaster and noticed that zombies are way harder than bosses.
They do way more damage than the Spider, Snake and Plant 42 boss.
Even these lizard enemies are easier because they rarely grab you.

Am I the only one feeling like that?

You can just stand in front of Plant 42 and shotgun it. You are in 'danger' after like 12 hits.
If a zombies attacks you 2-3 times you are dead.

In a matter of sense, yes.
Tyrant 2 can be tricky though.

The bosses are there for you to waste ammo and herbs. They have a long term effect on your inventory

I'm noticing the same thing. Bosses are pretty easy, but the regular enemies are way harder. This is the first time that I've played REmake in over a decade.

Zombies hitting harder doesn't mean that they are harder. As a general "rule" things that are faster and/or more difficult to avoid will deal less damage because devs considered that players would likely get hit more often from those things.

Zombies are slow, harmless if you keep your distance, have poor range attack and are quite easy to avoid, so the only way for them to be a threat is to do considerable damage whenever they manage to bite you. Things like Plant 42, Cerberus or Hunters for example do less damage because they have more effective attack patterns. I guess it's just to balance the difficulty of the game so no enemy is a complete joke but none is way too frustrating to deal with either.

True.. but I think it's a balance matter. You can pretty much skip any enemy in the game but not the main bosses.. Most of them needs to be defeated in order for you to proceed. If they were too hard there would be a lot of people putting themselves in a situation in which they would have to start over.

Yes, bosses are pretty easy imho. Way easier than in the original version

[dprog1995]

Only Code Veronica had great bossfights in classic RE games.

the other games had easy bosses.(Excluding 3 which had a poorly designed boss that you had to keep mashing buttons to get up/get free and deal with bad camera angles.)

Yess, the only challenge one on knife challenge was the first crimson head, all the others was easy
