"Resident Evil 4 is when the franchise jumped the shark and became pure action"

I mean, did y'all play this? lol

> replaying entire RE main games
> Never beat this one as a kid because I got stuck in the Tyrant Plane softlock and sucked as using the knife
> Get to this one
> Get stuck in the same Tyrant loop

feels bad man



Was able to load an earlier save and finally did it but even knowing it was coming it's easy to get stuck in that progression roadblock. One of the worst cases of poor design in a game that is already riddled with mind bogglingly poor design choices.

It has a few decent ideas gameplay wise, which thankfully were the few things the future of this franchise took from this awful entry, so I can't give it a half star with a good conscious. But man, is it close.

Its extremely easy to beat the Tyrant without getting it. You find the Green grenade launcher rounds. I forget what they're called..anyway, there's three of them and they reduce his health by half with every hit. After that, a couple of explosive arrows, hit the switch and you're done. I lnow your pain because he used to whoop my ass all the time. I hope you give it another chance someday because this is one of my favorite Resident Evil games for sure.
