Well, I told myself I'd never do it but thanks to some careful note taking, many runs back to the item box and a little bit of patience, I finally beat REmake with Chris. Ever since the original RE1, I've avoided playing as Chris due to his measly 6 item slots but all things considered it really wasn't so bad. Now I can finally put down the game and never, ever play as Chris again because fuck returning to the item box every 5 minutes.

those are some terrible stats, do it again.

based congrats anon

Everything wrong with RE1 could be fixed by not having to use inventory slots for keys.

I get that they don't want players carrying around a RE4-tier portable armory but fuck, man. Even if you free up whatever slots you're using for keys then assuming you have at least one healing item at most Chris could carry two guns with ammo and have *one* slot open for puzzle items, which woulnd't even be enough for half the puzzles in the game. The severely limited inventory solved a problem that didn't exist.

>Now I can finally put down the game and never, ever play as Chris again
you could have done that at any point, anon.
what is it about this hobby that attracts masochistic faggots who force unfun bullshit on themselves?
what are you all trying to prove? and to whom?

>>11822749
in the RE universe keychains were never invented, along with pockets

>>11822753
You have to prove you can do it before you decide not to do it so you know you're making a deliberate choice based on your preferences and not just refusing to do something because it's too hard.

>>11822807
just refuse to do it because you don't give a fuck to

>People tell me Jill isn't easy mode and she's just "another way to play the game"

Yeah sure bud

I enjoy playing as Chris more than Jill.

>>11822863
That's okay since playing as a girl is gay anyway

>>11822749
RE's inventory issues were fixed in Outbreak by letting you swap items in your inventory for items on the ground. As a tradeoff they reduced the total number of inventory slots you could have and it works great.

>>11822749
Honestly it would have been nice if they let you use items directly off the ground like RE0. If every item you interacted with gave you the option to pick it up, use it, combine it or leave it there, it would have done a lot to alleviate the inventory problems, especially with Chris. Being able to immediately use a herb or load ammo directly into your gun without having to pick anything up would be a great quality of life improvement without diverging too far from the core design of the game.

>>11822753
It's a great game (and one of the best remakes ever at that) so I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. It's just that I've already beaten it and the original as Jill and wanted something a little different this time around. Constant return trips to the item box are just a pain in the ass and there's no two ways about it.

>>11822925
You. Don't. Need. To. Carry. Everything.

Remake even makes it easier by making self defense items (obviously something not in the original) not take up item slots

Didn't get the best rank on the highest difficulty? Didn't beat it. Sorry OP, them's the rules.

>>11823060
RE1 doesn't have ranks, but I'll add that if you saved at all you didn't beat it.

>>11822863
>for some reason Jill has more inventory space than Chris, who is taller and stronger
Make it make sense.

>>11822753
Why are you being an apologist for mediocrity? Fuck you, loser.

>>11823775
Women have more places to put things

>>11822863
Jill's easy in the original because she doesn't need ink ribbons plus Barry keeps helping you out. It's more balanced in the remake.

>>11823796
anon, it doesn't matter how many video games you beat or how you beat them. you will always be mediocre if all you do is play video games.

>>11823815
>Jill's easy in the original because she doesn't need ink ribbons
Only in the Japanese PC release and only on the first playthrough. Why they did it like that I have no idea.

>>11823775
What kills me is Chris has a visible knife holster, so if you put the knife away and your inventory is full you know he's putting keys in that thing or something.

>>11822924
Outbreak came before Zero?

>>11824479
I've never played 0 but isn't the system a little different in that? I thought you could just put down items wherever you want. In Outbreak you can only swap, you can't just drop items.

>>11823834
>Only in the Japanese PC release
Yeah, the one where it says Easy under Jill's profile. Everything about her scenario indicates it's the tutorial playthrough (Barry kills the first zombie, game makes you walk around the hall to learn the layout, you can skip the shotgun puzzle and get it early, you get the serum immediately, you get the passcode to bypass the basement and so on) so having you not use the ink ribbons either tracks with that.

>>11825631
If it's a tutorial shouldn't it want you to use the ink ribbons? To learn about them? It's just easy mode.

>>11825631
They're also labeled as Easy and Hard in the Japanese Playstation releases. Only the PC port let Jill save without ribbons for whatever reason.

>>11823775
Jill utilizes tactical pouches because she's a big Rob Liefeld fan

>>11822654 (OP)
The very first time I played RE1 I played as Chris and eventually beat it as him before ever playing as Jill and I honestly hate playing as Jill. It feels like baby mode and is just boring. I think I have beaten the game once as Jill maybe twice.

As for REmake, the game kinda just sucks in general but it particularly sucks as Chris. They completely ruined the balance of the game and it shows. In RE1 it feels like you're supposed to play as Chris and Jill is the easy mode. Im remake it feels like you're supposed to play as Jill with Chris being the fuck you mode. It's not unplayable but it's a hell of a lot less fun.

>>11822654 (OP)
My first few playthroughs of the original were the longbox version with no autoaim, where I actually found Chris to be alot easier than Jill

>>11825802
The hell?
Chris has grenades and Jill has an stun gun.
Thats already enough to be the best choice

>>11823806
>It's cool Snake, I was hiding these filthy keycards in my vag for a couple days
>Here you go ;)
Meryl was a freak

>>11822780
That's not true, you can put rocket launchers in your pockets

>>11823775

While Chris has like a warrior role (stronger and bigger melee weapon and more health), Jill is a rogue (Can unlock the doors with a picklock and can carry more things in the inventory).

It's easier with Jill because it's easier exploring a dungeon as a rogue than as a warrior.

>>11826486
While I can agree with this the expansion of puzzles, addition of a bunch of extra puzzle items, and the gay ass crimson head mechanics makes the game significantly worse for Chris. In the original I pretty much always had a free space or I would use the items taking them up before I got more. REmake there's at least 3 occasions I can remember that needed me to run back to the box and run back to the area either to pick up something or use something.

>>11822654 (OP)
You haven't beaten the game until you beat Invisible Enemies mode

I only ever played as chris both in OG, gamecube and PC remake, didnt need notes or planning

>>11823802
Not as much as Jill's vagina.
