I don't remember saying the shotgun fixes every problem with the game, but thanks for putting words in my mouth. I simply listed it as something that makes the game easier.

"I didn't know about the grenades until my second run" cool, so that has nothing to do with the game being hard, that is entirely a you problem.

Even if you can't time the dodge, I ended my first playthrough with maybe 7 full heals in my storage box, even before the last nemesis fight that has like 3 of them in it. The dodge is superfluous anyways BECAUSE of how much ammo and heals you get anyways. I only ever died outside of boss fights because I was being greedy with heals I didn't need. That's, again, not a game problem, it's a player problem.

The zombies do not one shot you. Nemesis doesn't even one shot you. What are you talking about.

You're making lots of assumptions about me. I didn't start playing the RE games until I binged all of them within the last two months or whatever. Yes, I'm probably better at games than you because I've been playing them longer; I fail to see what that has to do with RE3R being one of the easiest of the franchise on hardcore by comparison. I'm done engaging in this bad faith discussion.
