I wouldn't. I would be eaten by a crimson head.

>>714233307 (OP)
No, I would have listened instead. And that's what no one did.

>>714233504
This anon is so intelligent. I never knew he was so intelligent wow

>>714233307 (OP)
No, I would've been too busy trying to rape Jill. I'd get killed quick by Barry or a random zombie.

>>714233307 (OP)
Yeah, I’d just go get the shotgun and start blasting.

>>714233759
But the hunters are pretty tough to beat, aren't they? Are you sure you're up for match against hunters?

>>714233307 (OP)
The big question is, why don't the mains get infected by the T-Virus and the answer is canonically they run perfect S-grade runs on the first try because they're that good.

>>714233307 (OP)
do first aid sprays and herbs actually miraculously cure my injuries and am i immune from long term infection if i take a hit like the RE1 cast?

if so, I'm gonna speedrun that shit. first things first I'm blowing weskers fucking brains out the second he turns his back to me, Tyrant's never going to wake up, and he'll never make it to the controls to release the Hunters. Other than that my only real worry is getting vored by Yawn or mauled by the dogs in the rear courtyard.

>>714233759
This but immediately leave the mansion with it & shoot the zombie dogs that chased me inside on my way out.

I'd have a psychological breakdown I wouldn't make it outside the safe room, I'd make an embarrassment of myself

Regular zombies, probably. But once shit like Yawn, Hunters, Crimson Heads, Lisa Trevor, etc. are introduced, and all the random ass shit like Cerberus and stuff, then hell no. I might be able to hold up and survive, but then food/drink becomes a massive issue at that point.

>>714235521
Funny enough in the novel continuity this gets brought up. The main cast all avoid being bitten directly during the mansion incident, but they do get slashed up a by the Hunters and Jill loses a chunk out of her shoulder to a Chimeras hook i think. It's later posited by Jill herself in 3 that she might have picked up some immunity from being exposed to all the dust in the mansion containing the weeks dead airborne t-virus particles, as an explanation for why she's taking days to turn not hours after being popped by nemesis in the clocktower fight.

>>714233307 (OP)
Probably not.

As a baseline: STARS are the equivalent to SWAT in Raccoon City. So if all but 4 died then I stand no chance. Even in a situation where I was forced to fight and survive, many of he traps there rely on the fact it's a video game to survive. Marvin in RE2 was bitten once and it was enough to kill and turn him. Smoking herb didn't fix it. That means you have to survive the entire mansion conspiracy AND find a chopper to pick you up without being touched once. And you have to do that with limited ammo. AND you have to do that while solving the puzzles. You seriously gonna carry a bag of fertilizer halfway across the mansion while chased by Cerberus?

Unironically just kill Wesker and leave the mansion as fast as fucking possible.

>>714236102
What about the dogs outside?

Games allow you to load after dying because it is presumed that they will not be beaten first try without retries between deaths. You don't get those in real life, so obviously not.

what would be the easiest game for a normal civilian to survive?
re2/re3?

>>714235937
Soft immunity is interesting, but obviously Jill gets famously infected in 3.
But all the other fucking games...
Well, bro gets full mold'd in 7
I've always wondered how Mia unmolds.

>>714236149
Its hard but you can realistically kill them with a half decent strategy and some preparation.
Better than anything in the mansion

>>714236207
Outbreak.

>>714236050
Unironically, Clare is most impressive considering.

>>714236207
>re3
With Nemesis hunting your ass? Long fucking shot.

>>714236339
as a civilian, not as a fucking stars

>>714236207
They're both doable as a civilian but you can't walk into RPD or the Hospital no matter what you do. You pretty much have to clutch up and get a ride ASAP then bolt to the desert.

>>714236384
But it's RE3, does that not mean Nemesis is going to be there?

>>714233307 (OP)
I'll just wait in the lobby until morning.

You gotta expect that at least a few regular civilians lucked into escaping the city before the bomb. Would make no sense if the only people that got out were the outbreak characters + Leon Claire Ada Sherry Carlos Jill Hunk

>>714236207
RE5? Okay let's think about it

>1
If you're in the mansion you're fucked. Full stop. The Cerberus are stalking the front yard. Lisa Trevor is stalking the backyard. The mansion is full of zombies and the guard house is full of giant spiders and sharks. And no one knows you're there.

>2 + 3
If you leave Raccoon City early, you might get away. But you wouldn't do that because of how the virus spread. The T Virus got loose because rats got into Birkin's suitcase and spread it into the city's water supply. By the time anyone realized what happened, most of the city was already infected. The national guard and the police attempted to quarantine the area before either dying or saying fuck it and just bombing the whole city

>4
Literal uneducated peasants infected by a religious nut. Any hikers caught by the Ganado were dead already. And any villagers were too uneducated to realize what was happening to them

>5
Similar deal to 4, the people of Kijuju were tricked into taking a Vaccine that was actually a variant of the Plaga from Spain, turning them into the Majini. If you don't take the vaccine, you're just killed by the rest.

>6
RE6 was a global warzone. Which ironically may make you safer. Because the soldiers might aggro the C Virus zombies, allowing you to escape or hide

>>714236591
You do know the mansion blew up right?

>>714236990
I mean, it only blew up because Jill and Chris blew it up. In the hypothetical scenario in which you're trapped in the mansion, presumably the STARS aren't there, so there's nobody around to blow it up.

And if STARS *are* there, then you can easily survive the mansion incident by just sticking with them.

>>714236457
yes, but not actively hunting you

>>714237160
Okay but the dogs aren't just gonna go back to their cages because it's day. Especially since Wesker and Birkin are watching and they want to record how they kill you

>>714237218
True, but you've got a way better chance to survive taking the forest route if it's daytime.

>>714236457
Nemesis is only after STARS members, which is why he keeps saying "STARS"

>>714233307 (OP)
Yes, because in real life, zombies aren't bullet sponges.
>real life zombies
This is a matter of physics.

>>714233307 (OP)
naw the hunters would gape my asshole to death

>>714237443
There has to be something going on here
I've S+ed both Leon and Claire and I've never seen a zombie take this many bullets

>>714237443
Zombies break physics in terms of basic biology. We have to assume the progenitor virus has some version of midi-chorlians/turbo-mitochondria like microparasites that draw energy from subspace.

>>714237562
The damage output randomizer was fucky around the games release. You COULD get supremely unlucky and end up doing the minimum possible damage to a zombie with successive headshots. iirc it's since been patched so you can't get the absolute minimum damage on headshots more than twice in a row or something. Some sperg here had a spreadsheet with the damage numbers years ago. Maybe someone still has it.

i would have been super cool with my bro wesker

>>714237562
>>714237443
*That* particular zombie, in the morgue, is always ridiculously spongy. I don't know why, but it's always that same one. I don't think any other zombie in the game has even half its health.

>>714233307 (OP)
Honestly? The zombies were slow and incompetent. If not for the camera and tank controls, you could easily escape the mansion by peeking around corners and sneaking until you get to an exit. The mansion isn’t even that big, and you could escape through windows.

The real danger is the dogs outside. Dunno, maybe if you’re lucky you can outrun them or climb a tree where they can’t reach you. That’s the only tough part.

>>714237754
Most of the time it breaks physics yes, the real life equivalent of rabies though, thank god it is so fatal though because its one of the most scary things in the world.

>>714237443
The zombies are, canonically, bullet sponges. Unless you completely destroy their brains, they'll just keep getting back up. Let alone the fact there are hundreds of them and you don't have infinite ammo. Your typical handgun has ~15 bullets and your standard AR has ~30. If we say you're the most gung ho, based NRA member in existence who was just carrying around 2 spare handgun mags and 2 spare AR mags, that will translates to 45 handgun bullets and 90 rifle rounds. Against a whole city full of monsters than can take several bullets without flinching

>>714237754
it probably does produce or functions like it's own mitochondrial analogue. It would have to since all the infection seems to do is use the host creature as a caloric battery. It's probably also far less picky about what it needs to generate ATP or it's analogue since a lot of progenitor virus creatures and it's downstream descendants in the t virus and g virus seemingly produce mass from nowhere too. But they're probably just super efficient at turning the host's cells into a fuel source, which also feeds into their need to eat constantly.

>>714236207
Umbrella flooded the streets with Mr.X's. and then there are the bug monsters. You ain't getting out of there.

>>714238575
I don't even know why Spencer even bothered going to court after Raccoon City was over.

>>714238575
The streets are ironically the safest place to be, there's nothing there but zombies.

>>714238575
Mr.X's were all sent after specific targets, just stay the fuck outta their way and you might be fine. They're honestly the least of your worries considering the incidental monsters like you said, lickers, drain demos/brain suckers, and fucking gravedigger are top shelf threats. You're even more fucked if stuff from Outbreak exists like the roaches, bees or earwigs. Not to mention everything that escapes the zoo.

>>714237754
The books tried to sidestep this by making the zombies alive. Which is just as ridiculous as making them reanimated corpses.

>>714233307 (OP)
Don't split up.
Funnel the dogs and kill all of them.
Radio Brad to land on the lawn.

>>714238540
Then there's the part where bodies sprout tree trunk limbs and expand 5x in size with giant eyeballs, but...

>>714238859
Well it is "Biohazard" so they're just mutated, infected living humans.

>>714237443
This
Being a bullet sponge is a gameplay mechanic, irl even if they don't die from bullets their bones would still get shattered, muscles would tear, ligaments would snap etc. With all the ammo lying around and zombies not being able to respawn just because you left the room even a normal person could eventually clear out the building.

>>714238769
The tyrants may have been sent after specific targets, but they still attacked whoever the fuck they wanted. Keep in mind all Mr. X was supposed to do was retrieve the G sample, yet it spent all its time tracking down Claire or Leon, who never had it.

>>714236270
I've tried to think about what scenario is plausible an actual average joe could make it through in Outbreak assuming they ended in any one of the scenarios. I think I can say with full confidence it would not be anywhere near easy as a lot tend to lead to the heart of the problem. Like even if you didn't want to deal with it or turn around, there is a myriad of roadblocks or enemies swarming the city or other places. The easiest would be RE1 since at least if you make it out of the mansion without getting infected you have prior knowledge to get the fuck out of dodge and go far, far away from it. You might get offed by some Umbrella agents before their fall since you will have some knowledge of the incident so you might be fucked regardless.

>>714233307 (OP)
Is it really that difficult if you know what to do? Chris and Jill seem to just have above average athleticism and don't do any of the superhuman feats they do later in the series so it should be reasonable for a decently fit person

>>714238873
Maybe it uses nitrogen instead of oxygen and is just super efficient at turning that into usable energy?

>>714239392
Nah, it's microscopic parasites that are modular and can join to transform like stem cells into other tissue types. And they draw energy from the ether, and also somehow can transmutate mass.

>>714233307 (OP)
no i'd probably trip while running in the woods and smash my head open or something equally undignified

>>714238860
The radio doesn't work. Not to mention, Richard is the one who has the radio. You would need the armor key, too.

>>714239392
>>714239486
Then again, I don't know if you know Japan, but it's a culturally retarded third world society. It's experts are given massive deference, and individually, a quality expert might be first world tier and drag his kohai with him. However, culturally, Japan is only superficially aware of science and is literally willing to view science in equal terms to pagan bronze age animism.

All I want is an RE2 style remake of 1. That's it.

>>714233307 (OP)
If I get video game logic, and everything works like it does in the game? Absolutely. If I'm a mere mortal and everything is made realistic? Sure, assuming it's still not airborn, I just walk out, and shoot the dogs once I have a suitable weapon.

If I'm forced to go through the events of the game while being a mortal, and using realistic logic I'd get blindsided eventually, but if I somehow manage to get through everything deafened, but unharmed I die trying to firing a rocket in a small room/running out of ammo on the boss.

>>714239683
This but RE3. RE3 has the strongest concept for a horror game that keeps getting fucked over one way or another

>>714233307 (OP)
I don't have very good twitch reaction, but I feel like things would be a lot easier in a game where you where not limited by factors such as game mechanics and could incorporate tactics such as carying more than a 4 items or dragging enemies ontop of one another, or dragging crimson heads into a pit.

The real problem and death defying difficulties will come when the hunter killers start showing up. Those guys are mean as hell and aren't stupid unlike everything else. For example, take the spider incident. I would just spray it with a shotgun and run away. it will absolutely lose all of it's fluid and wind up paralyzed due to the way spiders move. this is why spiders are skittish. they don't want to get hurt because even a small injury can kill or paralyze them

>>714239778
you fire that on the roof i thought? or is it different in the remake

>>714237443
This happened to me a few times. It's bad luck and the Matilda being shit.

>>714239683
Ehhh... I kind of understand you. But the fixed camera angles and tank controls are what made RE1 a survival-horror experience.

If we would take those out, it would kind of remove the horror experience and turn it more into action.

Maybe if it's first-person, it would be better than 3rd person, in my opinion.

Probably not. I would hide in a safe room after raping Jill, waiting for rescue and would have been killed by the self destruct sequence Chris and Rebecca set off

>>714233504
Thanks Marylin

>>714239853
Oh, I didn't know that about spiders. It could be helpful in case I'm stuck in a mansion full of spiders.

Thanks, anon.

>>714239140
You see a lot of civilians get rescued in the Apple Inn scenario, and there's a lot of police trucks that seemingly escape scott free, I think it's doable.

>>714237443
Using this as an example is such horseshit because you can grab the key, run back around the room and be out the door before the zombie's "getting up" animation finishes and he is able to grab you. I killed him my first run, never bothered with him again

I'd be an anon sandwich

>>714237443
see this is the thing i mentioned here
>>714239853
look at this guy, its not intelligent. if time was not an issue in 2, you could just lead it away. if it was, you dont have to treat it like an osbacle. double midair kick it with both lets, put it on the ground. its a stumbling retard and it doesnt matter how strong it is, it's not going to be able to hold something 6ft ish long perpendicular to it that just hit it full force in the chest.

only crimson heads, hunters, and other bioweapons are a threat. zombies are a nothing burger and would be as threatening as silent hill OG enemies

>>714239914
According to a poorly sorced manual, the M202A1 Rocket Launcher, which this appears to be based off of, has a minimum safe distance of 22 yards (Assuming a open space.) I don't think I can get 22 yards on that thing in this small area.

>>714237443
Specific zombies being buffed is nothing new. RE1 even has one in the Director's Cut, the kitchen zombie has standard AI but think like triple the average health.

>>714240215
This.

>>714240246
Your ass is not surviving Silent Hill bro.

>>714240479
>We have Hunters at home

What's so hard about surviving Re1 or Re2? The player just kind of sluggishly runs around, occasionally shooting zombies or solving puzzles. If Jill or Leon can survive with TANK CONTROLS, you should be able to as well with much more agility than them

>>714240574
>Self Destruct Sequence Initiated

>>714233307 (OP)
Nah, but there is no excuse from getting killed by a single vanilla zombie. They move fucking slow, and you just shove them if they get close, or jab them with a broomstick or something. None of this slowly tank controlling around them, and then they pin you down if they barely graze you with a finger

>>714240708
Assuming you're a character in the world where the events of the games are actually taking place
RE1:>>714240762
RE2: The city is bombed about 24 hours after you start your experience

>>714240708
it's possible to get one shot in real life by bioweapons so theres not always time to spray magic herbs on yourself.

>>714233307 (OP)
Realistically, the hunters or other BOW's alone would end the run. Zombies wouldn't be a problem unless they're in mass numbers. I say realistically because if a 6'5 creature with claws that can rend flesh hits anyone once, you're going down. But if the game rules of aid spray and the herbs apply, there's a chance. The issue is ammo but with proper aim, there's a chance.

>>714233307 (OP)
Zombies are slow and crimson heads can be avoided by running from zombies instead of killing, when the hunters come it would be over though. So no I wouldn't survive most likely

>>714238859
The games are very explicit that it doesn't bring dead people back to life. They even bullshitted up some explanation about living people being buried alive to explain away the graveyard zombies in 3 and CV.

>>714233307 (OP)
No. Funnily it's the mansion that's probably the easier part, there's no way I would make it inside the mansion.
Remember, they had to run inside there and lost like 2/3rds of STARs to the fucking dogs. You only fight a handful that get inside the mansion and they're still brutal, my ass is grass.

>>714233307 (OP)
The entire mansion blows up at the end so there's no way I would survive even if the zombies don't eat me, which is highly unlikely.
However, by far the worst part would be the lab. There's no way I'm going down there.

>>714241097
You also have to deal with Yawn too.

Even if I made it past the Hunters I would shoot myself out of fright in the lab

>>714240996
dont need ammo. drag crimson heads into a pit or give em to the shark.

RE1: Impossible
RE2: Very hard but doable if you don't need to do any quest and your only mission is survive
RE3: Normal mode. Nemesis isn't chasing you so your only objective is making it out of the city.
RE4: Easy if you just decide to turn around and take the car after the cops get whacked
RE5: Impossible
RE6: Normal mode if you stick to being a civilian.
Never played 7-8

Both China and the University were full of civilians who were turned

>>714241726
>Easy if you just decide to turn around and take the car after the cops get whacked
First thing they do after nabbing the cops is drive the car off a cliff. It's missable but if you inspect the side of the bridge you get a little cutscene about it.

> RE4: Easy if you just decide to turn around and take the car after the cops get whacked

Uhhhh... your mission is to save the President's daughter?

>>714241813
They always use women so they can then easily use them for reproduce.
It is near impossible to notice in game but all Hunters being female is acknowledged on the models in both RE1 and REmake, they have visible vaginas.

>>714241726
7 is probably easy if everyone just runs the fuck away, there's only like 12 enemies in the whole game, can't catch all of us.

>>714242085
no way fag

>>714241813
You now remember Plant 42 was made after the outbreak by a botanist who wanted to see what the monster juice would do to a houseplant while his zombified co-workers were pounding on the door trying to eat his brains.

>>714242105
Don't you wanna play with ballistics?

>>714242086
In Jurassic Park they made all of the dinos female because that way they wouldn't be able to reproduce on their own. The reason they chose female instead of male is because that way they didn't have to study the y chromosome.
Can you imagine if BOWs could reproduce on their own? The next Resident Evil would have to be post-apocalyptic.

>>714242085
Well if the mission is anything more than "survive" then they're all impossible. Nobody's going to be able to do that shit you've got to be superhuman to be an RE protagonist.
I figured the premise was "you're dropped at the first point of no return near the outbreak (so you can't just cop out and say "lol I'd just not go to Africa/Enter the Baker House" etc), can you survive". Like the first point you see a zombie, that's where you, the anon are.

>>714242139
I thought it was made before the outbreak. Because they came up with Vjolt before everything went tits up in order to kill it because it got into the walls, was taking over the common room in the dorms, and had begun attacking passing staff on their way to work. It just got huge when it was left unattended after everyone died.

>>714233307 (OP)
I would survive the night by being a bitch and locking myself up in some empty room, but I'd eventually die because of the mansion blowing up (if following the game's events), going outside trying to escape, or of starvation inside the room.

>>714242273
That's what the G-Virus was supposed to do. It was to produce BOW's that self replicated.

>>714242273
According to the old RE1 artbook the shark was an experiment to see if they could make a BOW that could reproduce and pass the traits onto its offspring. They could have tried with a dog, but it just wouldn't be Umbrella if they did the sensible thing.

>>714242578
>we asked Albert to ask the old man for a fuckin great white and a massive shark tank and he actually did it, absolute madman

>>714242487
That brings up a good question. Is the food inside the mansion safe to eat? What about the water?
I wouldn't risk it.
Herbs are safe to consume but those have disinfectant properties to begin with.

>>714233307 (OP)
>mansion
No
>raccoon city
Yes
>raccoon PD
No

>>714242371
Yeah that's what it's about. RE4 is basically RE5 levels of impossible if you're tasked with completing the story.

If we're talking about the easiest ones to finish as a civilian then it's 7 by a mile, then out of the rest with the superhero protagonists maybe 1? I don't think beating Birkin / Mr. X is doable.

>>714234875
1 shot from the Magnum should take care of them

>>714242753
desu I don't know what the hell they were thinking in the original game. The shark is tiny in that one but it's still able to eat your character in one chomp. If they couldn't pull off a bigass shark they should have just filled it up with mutant piranhas or something.

>>714243258
Maybe the goal was to make a BOW with naval combat applications.

>>714242085
President of what?

>>714243810
los estadus unidos pienso que si

>>714243810

>>714243875
¡Ay Dios mio!

>>714242865
Code Veronica and 0 might be a little easier than 1.
7's in a weird spot because it depends on a last second bailout from actual series protagonists and having enough plot armour for the psychic lady to not immediately throw you into Lucas' Kmart Saw industry.
It's definitely the easiest if your goal is just to fucking leave since it's pretty unwalled and the Bakers/moldy men can't track worth a damn, there's no invisible wall of murderdogs.

>>714233307 (OP)
The Neptune tank wouldn't be survivable.

>>714237283
He barely says it in the remake which is why anon doesn't know

>>714245626
I like both the original RE2 and the remake but holy shit the RE3 remake is bad. I really like the original RE3 so I was excited after enjoying the RE2 remake
I was extremely disappointed

>>714233307 (OP)
At most I give myself less than 5 minutes. How would I die? Probably fucking up trigger dicipline while running and tripping, pulling the trigger by accident with the bullet riccocheting into my head. Think of that doctor from that shitty world war Z movie where he ended up slipping and blowing his own brains out because of shit trigger dicipline while panicking.

>>714246693
My only criticism of RE2make is the loss of the zapping system. RE2make is a good game that could've been great. I don't knew what the fuck happened with RE3make. How do you go from like 20b years of hindsight, and then a year of hindsight after the remake, and then put together that fuck ass bomb of a game?

>>714244868
just flip the shark or feed him zombies.

>>714233307 (OP)
I would just scream HAAAIIYYYYAAAAAAA like an angry chinese crossfire player and fly kick every single zombie on the room, then i would wait for jill to appear and fuck the shit out of her while screaming HAAAAAAAIIYAAAAA right before i cum, its very simple.

>>714247167
The REmake2 scenario system is definitely half-baked. I still enjoyed it but there's no doubt the original is better when it comes to that
REmake3 is just ass all-around. What a fucking disappointment

Diseases and ailments that have no cure or symptoms until it's too late are scary.

>>714233307 (OP)

The mansion has plenty of kerosene, crimson heads only exist to punish speedrunners.
The real threats are all of the small targets like zombie crows and wasps.

>>714239853
I'm not going in the shark room.

>>714247950
The scripted crimson head, before I get the armor key, will just hunt me down and slice me with its sharp claws.

>RE6

it will be too busy biting the zombies to realize I'm better anyway.

but fine, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it totally ignores them for no fucking reason even though sharks vision is terrible and it cant smell me through the water and sharks often bite things by mistake.

I will do the same shit you do in later resident evil games to aquatic creatures, craft a basic harpoon, tie the harpoon on to something heavy, jam it in, and let the things own enormous strength pull the anchor into the water and trap it down there. this is admittedly a lot more dangerous than just avoiding it, but we are going on the premise that enemies don't behave as predictably as the game anyway i assume.

Apparently RE3make was developed also in parallel to RE2make.
RE engine was a mistake.

I would dedicate my last hours to breed with Rebecca.

Instead of the shark eating a jobber like Richard in the remake, they should have had the giant snake or something chase you down there, only to get ripped apart by the shark. It's classic monster movie escalation.
