I don’t get what’s happened, I don’t know if I’m just losing my reflexes as I get older or what.

Aiming seems really tedious and frustrating. And enemies move so erratically it’s hard to make shots. I never experienced these issues with 7 or 8. It still feels like the difficulty is cheap rather than challenging.

Some of the combat mechanics are very cryptic and I had to look up online what to do. Grabbing the first chainsaw is a prime example of this. You have to wait for it to stop moving as Leon, but have to sit there with your thumb up your ass and watch other zombies just run up and grab it while it’s still spazzing out, leading one to think you’re not supposed to pick it up.

Enemies don’t seem to have any consistent attack behavior or locational behavior other than inconsistency itself. Hell even enemies that are supposed to be distracted by their quirks will suddenly move to new areas without any internal game logic behind it. Most prominent example I can think of is a cleaning zombie that obsesses over blood on the floor of the east wing waiting room migrating over to the exam room for no other reason than to create tension.

Noticed this immediately. I modded a few things like axe swing animation reset (faster swings with melee weapons) which helps a bit.

Modded Grace to allow knockdowns in more conditions, and also to allow execute without stealth requirement.

Modded parry behavior to allow press-and-hold to keep parry window open for a longer period of time. Also modded it to auto-reset parry window immediately on button release so can begin a new parry on demand.

That said, I haven't completely caved in yet, but I am very close to modding Leon with aim-assist-- or just outright adding the John Wick Leon execute skill (one-shot head taps inside a set range)

And if I get really angry with the "Modern Difficulty" I still have God Parry I can add which will let Leon block grabs.

Had no issues with RE7 either. Can't pinpoint whether it's due to erratic movements or controls but once I saw it for myself I grabbed a bunch of mods to fix it.


It's sitting at 88/100 to 89/100 on metacritic and will likely miss GOTY (GOTY typically requires 90/100+ to be considered). While RE9 is a frontrunner for GOTY behind GTA 6, it will deservedly lose over shit like this.

I figured it out: it’s because I was using an FOV mod to help with my motion sickness as the native fov is too narrow. You can see my post higher up in this thread where I show comparison pictures with the mod off and on

it really explains why I couldn’t hit stuff with shotguns in particular

All the RE games were on a deep discount on the Steam summer sale except Requiem so I caved and bought the ones I was missing. Just finished 7, 8, 9, Revelations and Dino Crisis. Now deciding on which one to play next. I really enjoyed 7. Had to download some mods for Revelations and Dino Crisis to make them tolerable to play. I didn't remember Dino Crisis being such a pain to play back in the day.

Great, now I want a game where you play Wesker zooming around punching dinosaurs.
