My point is that even in a survival horror game there should be a point A. and a point B. and a somewhat logical way to get from one to the other... doing random stuff that triggers other ramdom stuff is just frustrating because is forces you to randomly try all options without logic until you get lucky... thats what the OP experienced and what scared me away from the game when I first played it...

 

 Exploring the village and killing the Ganado along the way is not 'random stuff,' it's what a gamer should have done instinctively.  I probably died a few times and I was fine with that. I never went far enough to say that the game had poor game design. I can't believe the OP took that long to figure out what to do....dying that many times simply means suckage.

Don't take anything personally, of course. You'll get used to the game, and it will get even better. Still, I completely disgree with the OP. The village area was the most memorable to me in RE4....I wish I could go through it again for the first time.

 

 For me the 30th time was as enjoyable as the first .

I understand that the beginning of the game can be confusing if you aren't greedy as me and kill everyone without thinking twice, but after the village scene it should be clear that you are supposed to kill pretty much everything you can, because it's a good way to get money which you need to upgrade your weapons. Also, the ammo is plenty in this game, just don't start to think that you have to use the knife to save ammo. The game adapts to your playing style, so if you solve all your problems with guns instead of the knife, you get more ammo from the enemies.

 The knife is not a bad things though.  I love it, things like the Krauser fight where you pretty much have to go with the knife are some of my favorite parts.  I love swinging the wii-mote as your knife fighting.

The knife definitely comes in handy when you fight Krauser. But I have heard from some people that they were always low on ammo even though they used the knife a lot. Well, that was their problem. Not using a lot of ammo greatly reduces how much ammo you receive from enemies.

Of course when I say use ammo, I mean to actually hit the enemies. Firing bullets in the air won't do you any good.

 

 Interesting, I did not realize that.  There were a few times early on I was a bit tight on ammo.  I may have been a victim of that as early in the game was also when I was being more conservatitve with ammo.

Watch gameplay of RE5 much?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

So from all these posts so far, apparently the game is nowhere near the same experience for everyone as I thought it would be. I did exactly what hsrob did the first time. Went in there like john Wayne, ran outta ammo and died. Second time thought I holed them all up at the entrance. No special cut-scenes no nothing. In fact my first meeting with the chainsaw was much much later, In the leader's house after Ada is first noticed.

On the other hand I never really figured out how to kill the garridors up until the very last encounter with them. Just shot at them randomly until they died, turns out it was much easier than that.

lol. I can't believe a lot of you had a problem with this part. I got it right the very first time. I didn't even realize a person could have a problem with it. And as for the chainsaw guys...I honestly didn't know there were any. I guess I just killed enough people without having to go in the houses on my first time through. The first time I always die is when those guys drop the big boulder down at you.

Did you figure out the trick with the bells?  Oh, and definitely HATE flash grenades

 I also didn't have any problems with that part,I won it my first time.As for the chainsaw guy he appears when you get the shotgun in one of the houses at the villages,though you need to get this before the church bell rings in order for the chainsaw to appear.

There were bells? I just stood near a wall, waited for them to charge me and curse the fact that there was no way to strafe in the game. I also didn't notice anything special about the flash grenades.... Used a whole lot of them in the part where I'm cages in with one of them as well as with a whole bunch of zealots (dear god was that part annoying, took me 2 tries then I died before I could save, rather ashley died). By far the toughes enemy I had to fight until I figured out wth I was supposed to do.

Anyone else find the regeneraors and Iron Maidens a joke? Scariest part was when I first encountered the Iron Maiden I was zoomed in with my rifle, and I was waiting behind a door. I was wondering when it would pass through the door since it kept getting closer and closer and I swore the door was much durther out. Didn't realize my mistake until I saw in IR its hands grabbing me....
