Amazing Game, But my god the boss fights are annoying and boring
Loving the exploration and everything, but why are the boss fights this annoying and boring. Leon is way too slow its borderline hilarious i can see when i need to dodge but with the lack of bloody room to move and his slow movement speed its very difficult to dodge. I am on the third fight with William Birkin and the area is so badly designed no matter which side i go in i am cornered. Any tips on how to easily pass this fight so i can get back to enjoying the game?

If you mean the lab fight, shoot the eyes, and knife him from behind so you do a ton of damage each slash. Basically go from shoulder to shoulder.

Otherwise just make sure when you run past him, you run past his right side (your left) so you avoid most of his swings.

Maybe give the original a try before critizing a REMAKE of said original!

Thank you very much Kaji! The go to the left tip helped massively was dodging almost all of his attacks! :D Its just a shame that there is no dodging feature built into the game.

Crickey, you know original wasnt third person, right?

This game more a reimagining, then a remake

I was at the final Mr. X battle, and I almost beat him in one try then he one-shot me instead with his massive claw. :(

Yup.. the bosses is one of these areas where they really dropped the ball. But, hey. At least they LOOK cool right? Not like the gameplay mattered.

This pretty accurately describes every boss in the classic series.

The final fight in RE3'99 is literally just a box puzzle.

Everything else is 'turn around, run, turn around, shoot enemy, repeat.'
Some can even be simplified to just 'shoot enemy' if you're knowledgeable about weapon/enemy effectiveness and have health to spare.

Maybe you should look up the HP and damage values of the original game and you'll realize the bosses were actually pretty fragile unless you wasted your magnum rounds on zombies.

The tip is to pay attention to enemies attack patterns like every boss on every videogame instead of saying it's bad design

You're def doing something wrong, and I don't mean to diss.

It felt like the easiest fight with him for me exactly because of what you said: the arena. You jave these walls split the arena into sections that not only have loot but serve as bait spots for the boss.

Now Birkin G2 - that's a fight I'll remember...

Yeah I have to agree with the others. You're doing something wrong. Space was an issue in the maze fight, and on the crane fight, but not here.

It doesn't sound like it bores you. It just sounds like you're doing poorly if you're getting cornered so easily.

If you're getting boxed in, you're not moving when you should, and staying too long in the side areas. There's no reason to stay there, and he'll barely ever follow you into those areas from the middle (unless you stay too long)
