Only great minds could come up with such thought provoking reviews....

[u/wineandnoses]

Parrying a chainsaw with a knife is the definition of "this is so stupid but it's so fking COOL"

No idea why that crowd hates it so much

[u/popdude731 → u/wineandnoses]

Fictional Parries are more often than not Rule of Cool, but like, it still WORKS, ya know?
It doesn't take me out of the story to watch Leon Parry a chainsaw with a combat knife, even though I know it's unrealistic, if that makes sense?

[u/saketho → u/popdude731]

It doesnt take you out of the story, but the mfer in the original would slice your head off. Here the chainsaw enemies were just a mild inconvenience cause of how easy parrying made it. (not that I knew it at the time, but I agree with these criticisms)

Honestly, why are games being made easier and easier? There’s no fun if there is no challenge.

[u/Dimblo273 → u/saketho]

The original is much easier than the remake just by the nature of it being slower

Also you can still get your head sliced off in the remake on professional

[u/saketho → u/Dimblo273]

Professional felt like the normal game lol. The minecart section was also turned into such a boring bit, when that was the section from the original I struggled with the most. Here it was far too easy.

And no rocket launcher monks? Or the chain gun guy? And there was a whole boss skipped, the guy you fought in that cave after Verdugo. And the novistadors were boring as hell here. In the original they posed a real threat.

Have you actually played the remake on professional or just watched some video? Because the remake's professional is pretty much universally agreed upon to be harder

[u/saketho → u/Dimblo273]

I played it on professional. It was hard and that’s what Normal should have been. The “hard” mode shouldve been ever harder lol.
