Resident Evil isn't supposed to be easy, it's quite refreshing trying to work out all of the puzzles. Rather than having hints and tutorials guiding you through the game. a lot of the combat is trial and error. Once you have the hang of it you can breeze through the game without having to kill many zombies or even using the stun gun or defensive daggers.
Be prepared for some surprises, surprises which are designed to scare you, seeing as it is a survival horror game

I gathered that. I'm reminded that I could just Google all the answers, but that would ruin the fun of the game. I know that some zombies can be avoided, but many need to be killed due to being in the way. Like the zombie that appears after the first defensive dagger. The puzzles are just unlike anything I've ever played though. Usually there's some sort of logical explanation or decision, but so far I've seen none of it. Maybe I'm just stuck at the beginning of the game? That sure hasn't happened in a very long time...

first Resi will go down as one of the best games of all time for me. Played it to death on release on the playstation. Was absolutely terrifying at points......those spiders....GAHH!

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?
Games these days have way too much hand holding.
I find the same thing comes up when some play original point and click adventures.
You don't have to kill any of the zombies (well there is one but its not that one
). Hell, you can complete the game with mostly the knife
.Try edging towards the zombies, when they're about to lunge forward start moving back and you can run around them. Might take a few attempts to get the hang of things. Trouble starts when you run into other enemies.
The game is very unforgiving, especially with its save mechanics.

Lol, I feel like an old man, but I'm in my early 20s. Incidentally, I'm playing Bloodborne right now and that game also had a similar difficulty curve, but I've now gotten used to the game (though getting overconfident may get me killed). I did read up a little on the wiki about a few mechanics, and surpisingly, it made me even more excited to play and helped me understand the mechanics a bit. I discovered a bunch of secrets/shortcuts just by exploring too.
Thinking about it, Resident Evil probably plays like the original Metal Gear Solid games. I remember getting used to those were difficult at first, but then I got used to it, mastered the mechanics and ended up loving them. I really haven't played Resi enough to get used to the mechanics yet.

You get used to it, was my favourite game back in around 1998 (was released two years earlier) I then got the directors cut and that was hard lol.
I actually find bloodborne much harder and gave up
.
The old games do have chunky game mechanics compared to how fluid controls feel these days, I could see that being a big issue.

I found the first boss easy once I knew what I was doing and prepared thouroughly for it, even using that summon NPC thing. But that boss is just optional... the proper boss for the first level, I'm having real trouble with. Even with the music box which is supposed to make it a lot easier. Molotovs might have made it easier, but not when I keep dying. It's the last part that's the trickiest.

Mines been doing that recently using PayPal. It often just goes through anyway.

As for someone very late to the game, it would be nice if the PS plus games were made available retrospectively!
I had problems with my very first attempt to purchase after getting my PS4.
I'd put a very valid debit card in and the store response was continuously along the lines of "check all the details of the card carefully". Same happpened with a credit card.
In the end I had to link in my Paypal which in turn went and get payment from my debit card, but it was the only way I could make a purchase.
PSN support were a waste of time with at least 3 "standard script" responses from them telling me to confirm the card was valid, all details entered correctly etc.

Awful, the last 2 are basically mobile games.

Doesn't look bad to me. I actually think it's an alright month.
Soldato
Not bad, I've not played Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, I meant to but forgot about it.
a three hour walking simulator, woo hoo. cant wait.

I wish ps plus would give up some sort of choice of games. I all ready had journey, resident evil and also got rapture. Its a big let down when the monthly games are ones you own.
