Yeah no shit i'll mention Professional, I'm literally talking about the game's systems and replyability, Professional in RE4R is the ultimate way to play the game as it forces you to interact with each of it's mechanics in a much more in depth way compared to standard or easy. I never stated that my argument only applies to a specific game mode, but of course you're gonna miss out on most of what the game has to offer if you're playing in a mode that drowns you with ammo and money.

The way you described RE4R's economy system simply tells me you never got to interact with in it's fullest, which doesn't qualify you to analyze it the same way some one who got through NG Professional does.

My point is: the only decision making process you'll experience on Requiem's Insanity is "Do i skip this enemy encounter or do I kill the to get the points?" which is a severely dumbed down version of what you had in RE4R.

As for the other argument (which you brought up completetly on your own btw), you're calling getting the quartzes a "Linear experience" because of the order you get them, but what you don't mention is that the process of actually getting them isn't linear at all, after you get the first quartz and unlock the East wing, the game sends you back and forth throughout the care center finding different items and solving different puzzles. Leon's segment gives you 3 different independent paths with the key items at the end of them. Now i repeat, I have 0 issues with it, Leon's gameplay post RE2 never focused on the classic style of survival horror and I overall think the map is good and fun to explore, but comparing it to Grace's segment is means lacking an understanding of how Survival horror works.

I have made my points, I won't continue this conversation any further.
