We’ve done it. David Phillips and I survived the most difficult encounter in all of Resident Evil 4. At this point, we have nothing to fear, and no enemy will frighten us.
This is definitely a phrase that won’t come back to bite me.
It might not seem like given me reactions on stream, but I actually have a lot of fun with these horror game segments where we just have to stall for time against a powerful enemy while our escape route is being prepared for us. Though it is certainly possible to fight off this particular enemy, I was not going to waste the ammo necessary to do it when there’s no material benefit.
There’s fun in confidently walking around and passed this terrorizing menace because we know its patterns, and can abuse them to keep ourselves safe for the duration of the encounter. Turning a monster into a routine is a powerful act, even in the confines of a video game.
And it always feels good.
