Want to start playing Resident Evil

When I was a kid, Resident Evil zombos scared the shit out of me. I was never able to get far in the game. A couple years ago I decided to force myself to play through it, and I was able to beat it.
So my advice is just play through the fear, it's part of the experience. Once you get about half way through it, you'll start feeling better and wont be as bothered by it.

Go for it user, Resident Evil 1-3 are some great games, totally worth playing through at least once.

How about don't play this game if you don't like what ensues ? You have a limited time on this earth user, don't waste it.
>:3

Zero has the best background spritework in the entire series.
Wich only makes me more pissed.
All that time and effort, completely wasted on a shit game.

Alright, this is what I was thinking. I guess ultimately I'll just have to play through it.

if I can't handle video games how can I handle real life

>if I can't handle video games how can I handle real life
Most of Yea Forums can handle video games but they sure as fuck can't handle real life.
Video games don't teach you how to deal with real life, they're just escapism.

>existential crisis
It's a zombie fightin' game, not a deep psychological introspection.

It's fine user, you probably won't have to deal with a zombie-infested mansion in your life.

lift weights and kill women

Zombies are all about loss of free will

RE as a series barely explores that angle, if at all.
It's a series made by barely funcioning horny nerdy japs watching american action movies in their youth trying to replicate that action movie feel.

They're not scholars gathering around to explore the philosophical implications and underlying critique of consumerism culture in Romero's work.

"You were almost a jill sandwich"

I guess I'll try it.

who is even the guy on the cover and what the fuck is that gun he's carrying?

Just that.
I was like 9 or 10 when first RE came out, and it spooked the shit out of me. It was still nothing compared to the first Silent Hill game, which was just absolutely terrifying. Quite often, I could not play them more than some 30 minutes at once, or from a save-spot to another.

Still, I beat them all on my own. No interwebs to cheat with, no fancy pants strategy guides, and just about everyone else I knew was way more casual player than I was. The fact that English ain't my first language occasionally added some extra barriers, but nothing a quick glance into the dictionary would not have fixed.

When it comes to oldschool survival horror, I do think that they provide way more "carrots" to keep you coming back to them, compared to the modern, mostly jumpscares and set-piece driven "horror" games.
RE1 especially is practically a puzzle-heavy adventure game that you control in real time, with some tactical combat tacked on top. Silent Hill games ain't that far off from it, but they got them mysterious stories, deep themes and the killer OSTs that drag you right back in.

We have similiar stories.
At this point i just put VODs of RE and SH speedruns in the background and they help me sleep, but obviously when i was younger and playing these games for the first time they were quite scary.
But pushing the "existential crisis" angle OP is doing is pretty dumb.

>existential crisis
Maybe I should've worded it better. Less an existential crisis and more me thinking about how death and gore compares to my every day problems.

I too had your same fear but I found the games to be too campy to be scary. RE1 was too goofy, RE2 was too Hollywood blockbuster action to be scary and RE3 was more of the same. After you get use to the controls, it's a breeze to get through.

Also, don't listen to the stupid fucking meme that the games are "hard" and you need to conserve ammo. My first blind playthrough I was conserving ammo like crazy and I kept dying. By my 3rd try, I said fuck it and went Rambo. I still ended up with enough ammo at the end of the game to massacre Spencer Mansion all over again. I felt like Arnild Schwarzenegger in Commando at the midpoint of RE2. I don't know who the fuck spread these lies but the games are fucking easy, even at the higher difficulties.

How do you guys feel about RE4?

>mfw everyone think that’s Chris on the cover
>it’s Richard Aiken
>what kind of gun even is that

7 is the only one that really leans hard into the pure horror stuff because Capcom fell for the "first-person indie horror game with hyperdark visuals" meme, and even it turns into more of a standard fps later. RE games are tense because of the limited resources, cumbersome controls, and relentless enemies, but they aren't scary. They're action games with spooky setdressing at worst

>It's eating him, then it's going to eat me omagaaaaaad

Just play the games. Remember that it's just other people who designed the controls, the areas, the enemies, the music. It's the only way to get over your fear.

>Also, don't listen to the stupid fucking meme that the games are "hard" and you need to conserve ammo. My first blind playthrough I was conserving ammo like crazy and I kept dying.

Confirmed for playing on easy mode.

It's hard to be scared when the enemies are bitch ass niggas. Dino crisis was more action, but you have to he crazy if you think a slow zombie is scarier than a fast moving raptor.

more like confirmed that he actually played the games instead of being a mouthbreathing mememaster who equates being a retarded child who cant find ammo with the games actually being devoid of ammo

The original RE1 is probably the only one where you cant instantly gun down everything and thats offset with how tiny the mansion is, how few zombies there are and how impotent those few zombies are. "Muh ammo runs out" was literally never the part that anyone was concerned with and this first grader tier analysis and failure to analyse the actual psychological drive behind that gimmick is exactly why you get stupid dogshit like The Evil Within with manufactured but never true ammo scarcity because its so le spooky to only have 3 bullets instead of fucking annoying and retarded because the second you hit zero the last enemy drops 3 more

RE tugged at your psychology from a deeper place by giving you bullets but also giving you the fact that bullets are a finite resource that wont magically respawn, forcing someone on a blind playthrough to assess the risk reward of using their resources versus guessing how much more will they find and when

Play this. If you can survive Silent Hill, you can easily survive Resident Evil.

Is Silent Hill 1 good? I only ever hear praise for 2.

Good enough that SH2 made zero changes to the formula beyond upgrading the audiovisual and engine side of things

1 is great and scarier than 2, but 2 had the better story. I'd also recommend 3, but just know that it's a direct sequel to 1. 4 is a cautious recommend.

Yea Forums is not filled with tough dudes. Yea Forums is filled with incels, retards, losers who failed to have an awesome real life that now can only try to have a good time playing on some virtual world. It's a shame.

SH1-4 are all worth playing.
4 is a complicated dish that not everyone can digest, but it's worth it.

Well, myself when I was 12 I started the RE game series with RE2, and I frightened too much playing. But I gave it at least 10 tries, cause zombie apocalypse really is a cool theme and I liked it. But, dude, the game was so scary, I got stuck at almost the beggining. And I traded the ps1 cds with a friend for another ps1 cds.

The conclusion is, it's not a game for kids. But, if you are over 20, you can probably beat the game without fear. And without existential crisis.
