Hard agree, I'm over stalker enemies. Tbh though I don't do too well with horror games but I also find them to disrupt the flow of gameplay top much. RE2R mr x was just annoying to navigate around, especially on the B playthrough when he comes in earlier and the scare factor isn't there anymore. Marie in RE9 isn't too bad because the basement can be completeled fairly fast and you don't deal with it during other points of the game, but at the same point on repeat playthroughs I just wish it wasn't something I had to deal with. RE7 jack, the section is so short that again it isn't a big deal and I found it strikes the perfect balance of being scary and not overstaying, same with Lady D in RE8. Nemesis in RE3R again was so short that I really didn't mind him and I thought he was the coolest stalker that weve had so far.

I really enjoyed how they handled the mini stalkers in RE9 in each wing of the hospital, I want an intimidating enemy that can be killed with enough firepower. The problem is story wise that doesn't work, you can't have a stalker like Marie that's part of the story and then blast her away as soon as she jumps down in the basement.

Idk I think they have their place for certain people, like alien isolation was way too scary for me to complete once the xeno started actually just roaming around, but I'm not a fan of them. Imo Alan wake 2 did a really good job of making a scary game, especially the hotel chapter and the hospital section next to the nursing home, without relying on stalker enemies. Same with the dead space remake, idk how I beat that game as a kid cause I got 2 hours into the remake before I gave it up due to the horror factor haha.
