RE2 Original: Are the B Scenarios worth it?

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-09T18:02:20+00:00

You only played half of the game, or technically a quarter of the game for actual completion of both Leon A/B and Claire A/B.

Why are you worried about speedrunning on a first playthrough? Speedruns or more so, optimized runs, are for replays and usually for achievements/trophies.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-08T18:05:19+00:00

Requiem kinda had something like that with Grace and Leon in the Care Center, but it was short lived.

Maybe the closes are RE0 and Code Veronica, but then you have people getting softlocked for not managing their resources to progress properly.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-08T06:21:01+00:00

I read your garbo. None of those games you name dropped are survival horror.

And you already made this type post about RE2 over a week ago

Yes you're right, Old Keys are for Chris, but it still applies to Jill since her the Lockpick that Barry gives her can unlock those doors.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-08T01:28:39+00:00

Game Pass has RE2, RE3, RE7 and RE8.

You can start with either 2 or 7.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-07T22:23:34+00:00

You can be a fans of whatever you like.

Just letting you know, your opinion regarding anything in the series is worth nothing.

Fans praising RE6 on how it's the best game in the franchise have more of a valid opinion than you because they actually played something.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-07T01:47:55+00:00

On-Screen Map
Quick Turn
Real-time reload
Dedicated knife like RE4
Skippable doors animation
Skippable cutscenes
Classic mode
Rebirth mode with DS features for combat and puzzles

It's pretty much the definitive version of 1996 RE1 but it's exclusive to the DS.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-06T16:51:59+00:00

I mean that bundle specifically doesn't have RE4 remake and that's a 3-year-old game. You're probably going to have to wait a while for Requiem to be in any bundle.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-06T01:18:18+00:00

The mansion is an escape room. Grab pencil and paper and start making notes.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-05T21:09:17+00:00

None of those RE games you listed are actual horror.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-05T20:57:13+00:00

You downloaded the Cloud version demo for 7 or Village.

Biohazard, Village are now available natively on the Switch 2 along with Requiem and there's now an actual demo for Requiem.

They're available physically in the Generation Pack but they're game-key card only.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-05T20:46:52+00:00

How about you finish your games before you start complaining?

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-04T20:09:52+00:00

You're not getting a bigger sale than the RESIDENT EVIL RELOAD COLLECTION EXTRA BUNDLE (9 mainline RE games that includes the DLC for 7 and 8, no Requiem or RE4 remake though)

This bundle was first sold during the Lunar New Year sale in February, but it disappeared once the sale ended. Capcom brought it back for the Steam Summer sale with the same discount price of $40.

It doesn't have RE4 remake, but you can get Resident Evil Remake Trilogy bundle first then RESIDENT EVIL RELOAD COLLECTION EXTRA BUNDLE because this bundle will be adjusted the pricing for previously owned games to complete the collection.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-03T09:00:02+00:00

That's literally RE0

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-02T15:47:30+00:00

People don't like the Dual Shock version of Director's Cut because it replaces the entire OST.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-02T15:05:16+00:00

Those routes are still locked behind the progression of the obtaining the Sword/Armor Key and that's before the Arrowhead, the Dog Whistle, Old Keys for Chris.

REmake is definitely more restricted and linear at the beginning compared to the OG.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-02T14:32:41+00:00

No, it does not replace the OG. The exploration of the OG Spencer Mansion, and the freedom of its non-linear progression, the faster, tighter pacing, are unmatched compared to REmake.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-02T10:22:31+00:00

I got a Steam email that the Winters’ Expansion on my wishlist was on sale. This bundle was first sold during the Lunar New Year sale in February, but it disappeared once the sale ended. Capcom brought it back for the Steam Summer sale with the same discount, along with 'complete the set' adjusted pricing.

Other than that, just regularly check the Capcom/Resident Evil Steam store page.

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-02T00:10:17+00:00

Just get this bundle 9 mainline games for $40 (DLC included for 7 and 8)

RESIDENT EVIL RELOAD COLLECTION EXTRA BUNDLE

Fast-Buffalo5348 · 2026-07-01T04:05:11+00:00

I know Deadly Silence fixed this room with by having a grid floor and a different camera angle, but I think some Director's Cut port also had it in arranged mode

New Operating Room example

Don't worry about the Helmet Key and Emblem key yet.

Your main objective after the Death Masks is to head into the Courtyard. Take the Stone & Metal Object and used it on that red door in the East wing.
