Worth playing?
Is this game worth playing? I've played the other resident evil games either on my pc or ps4, except this one. I sadly missed the time when it was available for like half the price and am now wondering whether it's worth the money.

Is it worth (re-) playing?

If you have not played this one before, then its going to be a mind blowing experiance for you! its will be worth both your time and money easily, if you loved RE 1 HD remake then you will also love this one.
Yes…

if you have to ask then obviously the answer for you is no.

I mean it's pretty expensive for me, so that's mainly why I asked. For example, I wasn't too fond of the remake for re3 and now just wanted to know whether this game was a lot like that and therefore worth (or not worth) of the money. Therefore it'd be nice to have HELPFUL replies to this discussion.

It is fun but honestly without mods and tweaking I'd have given up on it. Thankfully we do have mods though. The only downer is I forgot how much running around back and forth there was in these games. Can be a bit tedious at times. That's probably why they made the zombies come back and why I had to give myself infinite ammo (either that or 15 headshots wasn't fun).

This game is about managing ammo. You don't have to kill every zombie. Only the ones that could be in your way later. Just go for shooting them in the knees to slow them or just pass them without shooting at all.

its very average. leons story took months of forcing myself to play it and ive made piss poor progress in claires story and ive owned it since launch. theres not enough reason to finish because its not fun. not worth it imo

Classic Survival Horror = Immersive Scary Puzzle

... and this game re-imagined that Classic Survival Horror formula.

So if you wanna play this game -- expecting a Puzzle Game -- NOT a zombie-popping game.

This game is well worth you time and money. You just missed out on the sales but there will probably be another one in spring if you want to wait and save a bit.
This game is far superior to RE3make. You can play as either Leon or Claire. Same story outcome but slightly different methods of getting there. Also, 2nd scenarios that unlock after completing your initial playthrough. These 2nd scenarios have different starting points and items you need are in different places.
Then there is the extra content which is pretty awesome.
If you do decide to get it (GET IT!!!), you will then wonder why, like the rest of us, how Capcom managed to drop the ball with 3make.

It still applies. Expensive or not. You have to decide for yourself if it is worth it. I personally think re2 is great, that doesn't mean my opinion should be yours.

I can say it's even like 4 ( both A& B stories) and you need to complete Story A for one character and story B to have a so-called "true ending"

I think asking a question like yours and getting a reply like "You have to decide for yourself" is perhaps the dumbest response. Might as well don't answer.. Anyways, RE 2 is by far one of the best RE remakes you can get along side RE 1 on the PC. You can't fully compare it to the original RE2 as it does enough to set itself apart. But if you like RE games, this one is up there with the best.

No it isn't dumb because there are YouTube videos now. It's not the 90s where you look at a magazine or tv commercial and take a gamble. There is also the option of refunding. I knew I wanted to refund re3 remake within 30 mins. Use your brain...

RE2R is hands down one of the top 5 games in the franchise. It is an easy recommendation and don't worry, this game is without a doubt 10x better than RE3R which is weird to say because you would think the sequel would learn from this game, but no. In other words, this game is a must buy for any horror fan and most importantly an RE fan.
