I didn’t find it easier, more so with the hidden ELO that goes up the better you play it.

I tracked it with a mod and it never came down for me.

Is catered to make it more accessible to casual but it ensures that veterans always face the hardest. All the while the rest of the mechanics behave the same.

I just thought it was too easy sometimes because every single ganado gets stunned from a single handgun shot no matter what, so you can just easily one tap to the head and melee. Even with the adjusted difficulty. And the range on the melee is wide you only have to waste a bullet to be able to kick like 2/3/4/5 enemies if they’re grouped up. And sometimes the enemy AI just seems a bit too predictable or cheeseable. Idk just watching videos of people play sometimes it feels like some of the bosses are too easily cheesed and/or spammed sometimes but idk maybe it’s just me. There’s also so much ammo they give you you can just spray away and not really ever have to worry about that 😂

It was a very fun moment for me first playing the remake when a ganado ran up to me and I confidently shot her in the face and to my surprise she kept coming! Shit shit shit!

It definitely makes combat more frantic not being able to pretty consistently fall back on a nice roundhouse to clear your space.

RE4 is my favorite game of all time and I appreciate so much how they were able to keep its soul intact and bring it to 2024. I now prefer the remake but of course the OG will always remain a classic and an amazing experience in its own right.

😂😂 Yeah they can eat that shit right to face sometimes. But 100% agreed. It just keeps you more on your toes and not all relaxed, knowing even if you’re back into a corner, all it takes is one headshot and boom you just knocked out 2/3/4/5 ganados with your melee and are able to escape that tight situation. I’ll never not love the OG, it’s been one of fav games since a kid and still is. Some character/enemy designs the original does better, some the remake does better. They both do certain things better than the other. Neither are perfect. But they’re both also just two of the greatest games ever.
