I don't think that's unreasonable. And you all can call being confused, annoyed, and not enjoying yourself, 'fun', but I do not.
Or maybe you just totally suck at it :). That game is so ammo friendly that its almost ridiculous.
In zelda. You might not know what you are supposed to do exactly, but you always 'sorta' know what to do. You have a general idea.
And you didn't "sorta" know what to do in RE4? For the first half of the game, you're constantly in communications with that girl who instructs you of where to go and what to do. You even have a map of what gates/doorway are unlocked and whats nots at all times. You even pick up these cheesy "notes" from other characters detailing the plots, goals, and what to to expect - now THAT was bad design, making it too easy and convient to figure out. Other than that, it couldn't have been anymore straightforward.
As for the Zelda games, 70% of the time I'm running around saying "what the hell did I miss now?". Now I don't consider stuff like that "fun" because I suck at games that require me to "find something, but before I find that I have to find something else, then something else, etc.. before I can continue on". Did not have that issue whatsoever with RE4. Previous RE games I did however...
but I never ever saw the typewriter on the list? What's the deal there? I swear I never saw the typewriter on the dealers list of wares. I'm playing the GC version
You have to beat the Mercenaries games with all 4 characters first. Its tough as hell and I've still havent got it. BTW, that "chicago typewriter" is actually another name for a Thompson Machine Gun. Not sure if its really worth the effort though...
