Reached chapter 7 yesterday, still having a blast. I only wish they'd let you store ammo and herbs, I haven't yet decided on my weapons and I'm forced to haul all that stuff while struggling for inventory space sometimes.
So far, I'd agree with TNA. I think I also prefer it to the original at this point. It's just a bit more serious and atmospheric and expands on good elements while getting rid of silly stuff like the rolling boulder and QTEs.
We'll see how I feel after I finish it but, while still not a proper RE game, it's undoubtedly the best out of the remakes so far and something that actually deserves to be called that (looking at you, RE3).
EDIT: Except the old merchant, that guy is irreplaceable, I'm sorry
Have you upgraded the case? I'm up to Chapter 7 too and haven't had any issues with storage. Red 9, Stingray, Riot Gun, TMP are the only weapons i carry.
