>>717197686>not always, SH never was a stealth gameNo, but stealth was one of its major innovations. Already back in the very Y2K days, fans were competing by not only speedrunning, but by sneaking around.
>f also has stealth, just is harderMore like impossible, judging by the last TWENTY years of Westoid OTS trash we've had to suffer.
>>717197791No no no, little buster.
Don't try to bend the narrative.
"Combat" can be just one tiny part of the overall gameplay. I know this is a totally foreign concept to GenZ Halo toddlers, but it's a fact. Classic RE and SH have acclaimed, beloved gameplay style, that prioritizes exploration, problem solving, and preparing for the upcoming journey by planning out routes and loadouts.
The combat of SH1 itself was already praised for improving upon RE's truly turret-like fighting style, which itself worked great improving the underdog horror vibes.
...or to put it in zoomer speech:
SH1-3 have great gameplay, good combat, and (You) just suck at it. And literally every single body on this planet loathed HC, DP and 0.
