Well really starting again I realized wandering around before I didn't really find anything and was able to pick everything back up again in like 2 minutes. Neat, now I'm just wandering somewhere completely different. I love the look of this mansion

There are item storage boxes.

Yeah I have access to one it would just be nice if ammo/healing was limited but all the puzzle items could just be kept on your body

Resident Evil 1 is cool. Loving the near silence. At first I thought I was gonna be pretty resource limited but after carefully picking my way through the mansion and finding the first storeroom I suddenly have 50 bullets and 8 ink stripes

i wish games were more quiet

Fatal Frame 2 has this one puzzle where you place books with highlighted keywords in a specific order. The books are already in the same room as the puzzle. Any other horror game would have padded that out by having you hunt down those books.

sometimes the running back and forth is a setup for an ambush. when this kind of stuff is tense it's good, usually it's just dull.

Is that random or is there a way to aim better. I just pump em full of lead and try to shoot them when they're on the ground but it seems spotty

i'm not quite sure. i think its a random chance when you're aiming at their heads like when they're right up in your face. i think chris gets headshots from going for body shots more often

Dunno about the original game but if you point up with a shotgun you can headshots zombies at point blank range in re2.

He gets a lighter to burn up the crimson heads, and he's hardier. Chris ftw, I haven't even played Jill mode.

i think chris's lighter doesn't take an item slot? something like that. i didnt play much of the hd version so im going based on remembering the gamecube version

Well, Chris always has one in a special item slot. I'll play Jill eventually, but Chris was the way to go for me since my friend was watching and she already did Jill mode.

the only reason I could complete amnesia, which freaked me the gently caress out, is because when i got too scared i could just walk in the monsters face and die, then respawn and continue. that's not really an option in silent hill 2. save points are a bit far between and the sound design is so loving good that even when i know what's coming it still manages to get to me. god, i love this game. i also loving hate this game.

I've been wanting to beat this I've just been waffling on it. It's really good at conditioning you to associating the static from the radio as a monster radar then loving with you by having enemies nearby but don't actually pose a threat.
