How is it possible that almost the entire game is 'that part' and yet it's still a 10/10? I can't think of any other examples where this is the case

Some of the worst gameplay ever made. Becomes apparent from the instant you get control of the character, trying to move and look around is torture. Aiming is so bad. Really makes you appreciate modern games and by modern I mean 360/ps3 shooters. Amazing how far they came in just 2 or 3 years.

I played the original after the hardcore re4 remake went through. I have something to say.
The original definitely has charm, perhaps thanks to the HD Project mod, but the gameplay? He's worse at everything and ten times easier. There are fewer enemies, knife does not break, weapon does one-shot more often, tank control does not make game deeper or more tactful. I like the characters, but Louis has more charisma in the remake and is more beautiful there, Ada too. Why do boomers always lie when they say it used to be better? It pains me to tell you, but the original is an alpha-beta version, and the remake is the final finished product.
