the lack of ammo is bad design

[ToyJesus]

there are parts in the game where if you don't have enough ammo it's literally impossible to complete. the games fun, but being able to softlock your savefile due to ammo is bad design.

You do get enough ammo, if anything I'd wager that people that complain about the ammo either don't have trigger discipline or don't realize the gunpowders despite likely picking up the note next to one is how you MAKE MORE AMMO.

I'm 9 hours into the game, I know how gunpowder works. Zombies take anywhere from 1-100 shots to kill. It's very easy to run out of ammo.

Ressource conservation is part of the experience. Only if you are diligent with it will you get through with enough ammo. It is survival horror. There isnt as much hand holding as other modern games.

I understand this, but it shouldn't be possible to softlock your game due to running out of ammo. they should have a way to go back and get ammo if you absolutely run out.

"Because its hard and I'm punished for playing badly, the game sucks". Damn, you're right, lemme get Capcom on the phone. You know what, lets get the creators of Chess on the phone too

if you think that's what I said, your reading comprehension needs work

You just need to get used to RE games and have multiple save files if you need to go back a bit. I only had ammo issue once in all RE games in a RE4 boss battle I think. Ammo, especially in easier difficulties is plenty, just don't try to shoot everything.

well, because that is what you're saying. The lack of ammo isn't the issue. The issue is that you're over extending usage of your ammo when you probably shouldn't be. You can't just go shooting everything mindlessly like any other shooting game.

RE2remake is a survival horror. your resources are limited. your options even less at times. And your choices have severe consequences. But it makes it all the more rewarding when you can get through a challenge with restrictions.

If i had to guess though, you probably got stuck fighting the first boss without enough ammo right? if so, then yes, your trigger happy AF because that happened to my friends who tried playing this game like your average shooter.

I mean... it's a classic-form survival horror... so your complain kinda pointless here, because your complain is the point of this genre.

Oh, yeah! And also ammos in this game are enough, if not more. Unless you play this game like a shooter

The original RE games on PS1 weren't even this bad with ammo.

I've played all of the originals on the original playstation. this game is way too stingy with ammo.

Hmm, I didn't get into hard mode yet but I did all 4 playthroughs and don't remember having any issues.

I ran out of ammo at the part where you have to run from the tyrant through all of the flower guys that kill you in one shot if they grab you. and since im out of ammo, i cant make that run. there's like 5 of them blocking the way.

use self defense item. using gun is hard in there. They give you 3 second of invicibility, except for tyrant If irrc. But you can use this time to just run from those Ivys.

Personally, I never ran out of ammo at that part. My ammos just enough for it.

Not to mention in this part you get:

- 1 Small Gunpowder
- 2 Large Gunpowders.
- 2 Yellow Gunpowders
- Some Shotgun Bullets / Flame Rounds
- Some Flamehthrower fuels / Sparkshot Cartridges
- 1 Hand Grenade
- 1 Flashbang
- 1 Knife
- 1 Green Herb
- 1 Blue Herb
- 1 Red Herb

There's no way you will run out of ammo with all those crazy resources. Even if you tried to kill those 2 Lickers, you still will left with enough resources -- unless you miss a lot.

You can try get through them with a sub-weapon. If you get grab by those Ivy, use the sub-weapon to escape. Usually a shotgun with a few bullets & 1 or 2 almost broken knife is sufficient.

The game does give you more than enough ammo if you manage it well. I do remember my first few runs ammo is tough in normal difficulty. After you get familiar and manage resources better, you could have a ton of resources left at the end even in hardcore.
