Regenerators scared me waaay more than the clickers. Their palsied walk, rasping breathing, slow but inexorable advance while you're in narrow spaces with nowhere to escape to, that bone chilling music. The clickers didn't have the same menace.

The whole setting in RE4 is more cartoonish compared to TLOU so the scares were never on the level of TLOU or games like Silent Hill for example. The clickers and the Bloaters as well were a presence to be reckoned with. That only got hightened by going to higher levels. Also RE4 had so much ammo you couldn't die as easily.

I'd disagree, the bloaters were pretty cartoonish and a bit too comical to be scary for me.

Ammo wasn't much use against regenerators in RE4 before you get the thermal scope, and even afterwards, the small/moving weak points, your slow rate of fire, and claustrophobic arenas meant they remained a threat. And then there's the Garradors, stalking you by the sound of your movements, who you had to get behind to damage.

RE4 lacked the stealthy elements of TLOU which only helped highten the tension the player feels. That and the fact that the AI was much better, makes this a very easy win. Gamers universally accept this as well as reviews and sales have shown so far.
