While enemies do drop ammo in RE4, you really have about the same amount of ammo/health items at your disposal halfway through RE4 as you do in RE2 and RE3 (originals). I replayed both 2 & 3 a few years ago and got reminded that both games only get the resource managament right early on. You simply get too much later on.

Yeah, but, unlike you, he probably gets laid.

Does he?

Judging by Leon's behaviour in the games he's either a virgin, or a closet homosexual and Ada's gay radar is broken.

RE4 has a system that dictaminates the amount of resources you get depending on various factors. You can't never completely waste your resources, because when you're leaking certain one the next dead ganado drops the thing you need. Also you can always buy two healing sprays to the merchant. In RE2 and RE3 there's plenty of resources, but they're limited. You get them through exploring the environments only. And you can waste them and there's no other way of getting more. RE3 is known for the possibility of getting stuck against Nemesis on the Clock tower bossfight if you reach that point without enough health items and ammo (Same in Code veronica against the Tyrant on the plane), forcing you to start a new game or load a previous save game.

Also there's the thing that in classic RE, all items are stored in the same inventory (6-8 slots). You have to choose what to carry at the moment and what to leave on the chest. In RE4, there's no such thing. The main inventory it's just a case where you store weapons, accesories for them, ammo and health items. The key items and the treasures are stored on an infinite inventory. This is due the nature of the game, it's a third person shooter with linear level design and occasional backtracking. It's far for being similar to the classic formula in that regard too.

Code Veronica actually had deeper resource management in it than RE2 and 3, but it also had tons of cringe anime shit so I ain't gonna defend it

Lol the hidden reply talks about most of Drakortha mentions.
I dont understand how someone can love a game and defend the cut/removed contents in a remake thats pure nostalgia baiting.

"Minor cuts" Lmao, they cut out tons of content, can't wait for a side by side comparison between combat encounters and setpieces so people see how much they fucked up, they even fucked up the cinematography in the cutscenes, ironic considering the remake is supposed to be more cinematic and next gen, yet it has worse direction than a campy ps2 game that was more gameplay focused

For some reason, Resident Evil always brings the vocal autistic minority screeching to the theme of their misery out of the woodwork.

Some of us know the difference between quality, trash, garbage, and shit.

Just look at the laser sight. It doesn't even grow large when you point it up close to objects. It's totally fake as it basically just replaces your crosshair.

But no, you're just part of the vocal autistic minority if you notice the decline and don't mindlessly buy the game day 1 give it a 10/10 and shill it. It's fucking upside down world.

I honestly don't care. Very very low on my list of things to get perturbed at today.
