I hate Tofu Mode

[Kesshikou]

I'm finding it genuinely infuriating to play this mode. I've run about 20 runs so far, most of them resulting in death from the Tyrant on the second floor of the building just before the shower room.

Honestly I found Hunk's mode to be a challenge but still very fun, but with Tofu I feel like I have to restart my run because I had to use one more knife than I needed to in a room.

The red dress lady zombie, the first in the mode, is GUARANTEED to bite you. You can aggro her bite and stab her for a stun, but she recovers waaaay too quick, and then runs faster than you in the water and gets a confirmed bite. Why?

There are cheese routes in some rooms, yes, but sometimes they don't work because the AI behaves oddly, the zombie outside the room next to where the officer gets pulled in half decides to either face the door and allow you to enter on some runs, but then completely decide to face you before you reach him on others.

I have no problem with trial and error gameplay, but when the "gameplay" - that was fun in Hunk's mode as you have to plan which zombie to take out in a room while still running past the majority of zombies and have a multitude of weapons to choose from - turns into 10 seconds of running past enemies until you watch a glorified cutscene of stabbing an enemy that takes too long for how punishing and repetitive this mode is.


TL;DR: Tofu mode turns whats fun in Hunk's mode into cutscenes where you spam spacebar, and is much to punishing due to limited knives and AI that acts different sometimes

It's a challange mode. It was meant for those who wish to challange themselves under the most BS situations.

I understand that, but Hunk felt difficult but doable. Tofu feels like I need to have a video of someone doing it and mirror their actions.

simple, Dont play tofu if you hate it

tofu is for OG's and hardcore fans of RE2.

so keep the hate to yourself and play story or hunk mode

It's not that bad, you just have to learn the right routing.

Wait until you unlock the additional characters, especially Konjac and Annin Tofu, those are annoying, for sure.

I feel like you missed my entire point but ok buddy

My point is that learning is annoying and awful. I do a 7 minute run consisting of cutscenes where I stab an enemy, get far enough in to either run out of healing or knives. I know some of the cheese routes but its annoying sometimes



To clarify I don't think Tofu mode is bad, it's just infuriating and I find "learning" the route to be too time consuming and tedious to be worth melting my mind and time for

If you hate it then why do you keep trying? Are you punishing yourself for doing bad things or something?

[MRKitano]

I think Tofu is supposed to be a "stupid challenge" so to speak. Like, I beat HUNK mode and the game's like "oh yeah?! Then... like.... Take a look at hum.... THIS!!"

ToFu was quite hard on the original. Like Hitbox exploiting levels of hard. So kuddos to Capcom for not dumbing it down for casuals in this remake.

Its not that its -JUST- hard, its that to practice cheesing, I have to spend a lot of time on running it, and like I've said, its basically just watching cutscenes for 7 minutes which isn't all that fun.

If I could skip the 5 second long animations of stabbing an enemy, I probably wouldn't be complaining

Run to the left of her (behind her back while she's spawning)
Angle your camera a bit above yourself and run against the wall..

If done right (and it's super easy to mess up) when the red dress gets out of standing animation, she'll do a 360*degree turn to lunge at you, causing you to slip by without being grabbed.

>> Then just continue forward running past the 2nd zombies back, he'll do the same thing.
