It's worth it but you gotta have a nice pc, mine is pretty old but has a brand new gtx 960 and still chugs in big areas like the town square at the beginning

Big areas just run in smooth slow motion on mine and it actually makes the game too easy at times

It definitely didn't ruin playing through the game again because it's one of the all time greats but it was sort of frustrating

checked pcgw to see if there were any graphic options i could turn down but theres only settings for anisotropic also this

Can't pass QTE • Link[edit]
For some QTEs, such as when Leon is hanging on a ledge in Chapter 4, mashing the button as fast as you can still doesn't pass the QTE and he falls off anyway. This is because of botched 60 FPS support, requiring QTEs to be mashed faster. Try changing it to 30FPS, or use Cheat Engine, attach the process, Speed Hack it to 0.5, thus giving you more time to press the button. After the QTE, simply exit Cheat Engine and continue the game. Another tip is to mash the button even before the prompt appears.

whic pretty much confirms what you said but its not a big issue

Some of the running away from boulders QTEs look really insane. When I mash Leon pumps his arms like the Flash and moves at superhuman speed. Is that a PC oddity or does it always look like that

that was funny on the wii version bc you have to do a drum solo motion with the wiimote and nunchuk as fast as you can to outrun the boulder.

You can really tell that the people who made the game knows that dialogue in the earlier games are incredibly cheezy, and just decided to embrace it and carry on the tradition.

You can use the tanks in the corners to freeze him then blow him up with a rocket launcher if you're pro and kept one

I did keep one but I just ran away for 4 minutes and used the rocket launcher on the two trolls. Well I dumped one in the lava and then blew the other one to kingdom come.

the PLR sounds awesome but it kind of sucks because it it's like an /npc_kill_all command instead of like, a gun you aim and stuff. it also kills poo poo in a really boring way, doesnt even make em blow up :(

the chicago typewriter however lol
