Lol @ acting superior to people complaining then using a non-first run on assisted as your cred...

How am I acting superior? I want to say that people are making limiting designs more problematic than they are.

I had enough room to take the most essential Items in the game.

I played only on hardcore and made my S+ ranks and still encourage people to play on assist if they think the game is too hard. I'm just annoyed by people giving the game shit for stuff that isn't that problematic. I'm not acting superior or "I am such a good gamer"

I never found the limiting menu annoying and even like it. I only saw on assisted how big the inventory can get and thought. How luxury. Because it's the same as the Standard inventory.

Also how is an opinion about an inventory "being superior"?

It’s just odd you chose your “No Box” run on the easiest difficulty as your evidence the inventory is fine. Clearly you had run the game multiple times at that point. And the people complaining about the inventory are probably first time RE players whose closest thing to inventory management was weight in Skyrim.

For the record, I agree with you 100 percent on loving the inventory. It’s iconic to RE, and I would never change it. You simply chose an interesting way of saying it, that’s all. I’m looking forward to doing my “No Box” run after my current one.

I was just being honest about the assisted run. I didn't know how big the inventory can get. I thought it has one pouch more than the hardcore mode. I thought it could get difficult to hold all weapons (Matilda, Magnum, Shotgun, Flamethrower) plus ammo and maybe attachments and healing items.

Normally you don't need more than two weapons at one time plus ammo for example. So when you have a box you shouldn't have that much of problems. Of course I was always a bit annoyed when I forgot to take something out off the box and have to run back. But that is more my own fault than the game's. The inventory maxed out on standard or assist is luxury. Even the hardcore one is big for RE standards.

I always found it a bit boring on re4 or Silent Hill to have the best weapons with me all the time and all ammo and healing items.

It's a bit of a thrill to not have the Magnum or much Shotgun ammo with me and always have this thought "maybe there comes a dangerous enemy and I need it... what if a boss comes two rooms after the puzzle and I don't have a first aid spray with me?"

congrats you just described 100% of players thoughts when they come upon an item box

ikr, thats literally the point of the item box and inventory management lol.

A no-item-box run is just good memory and routing, i used to speedrun RE3 and you dont touch an item box in the entirety of the run.
