It's more than enemies being more aggressive, things just aren't balanced well, and on Hardcore this becomes frustratingly clear. In that sequence you're meant to run away with Ashley close by you, but Ashely doesn't stay right by you anymore even when you tell her to, and she'd get cut off from me by the very ganados I was trying to run past
Something tells me Hardcore was made either for NG+ and masochists in mind. This is the exact reason why I always start on Normal.

Look at that, pervy idiots acting like pervy spoiled idiots who never grew out of that immature attitude. Y'all are grown adults, get a life!

Enemy attack paterns aren't tuned right. That's really the biggest issue. I started a new playthrough on Normal and it's certainly more agreeable, but I'm still finding myself getting fucked while stuck in a recovery animation. I'm also finding the parry a bit finky sometimes. I'll hit the parry button right before an attack hits and often I'll still get chopped, even hearing the parry noise as an axe is embedded in my shoulder.

That's strange. So far, that has not happened to me. Either I parried or I missed. A majority of my parries have been on point, and I didn't have that glitch happen yet. I managed to beat the dreaded Water Room without dying, but it was tough. I used nearly all of my ammo.

The Hardcore mode will probably require some tuning, since it had outright game breaking bugs pre Day 1 patch

So Im playing the Remake.
Holy fucking shit why is there no flashlight button?! Leon has a flashlight, he turned it on in the demo when it was took dark to see. This game is insanely dark. Its impossible to see what's going on and what Im supposed to do.

This is an actual screenshot from my game. In this screenshot is the player character, and not one, but two different paths, one blocked, one open. And this is with the brightness turned up to almost double the recommended.

Yeah, it's dumb. RE2 Remake also did this, but there ANY dark space had the flashlight turn on automatically, as opposed to RE4 Remake where it's only 30% of the time.

I am on Chapter 11 now. I actually went out of my way to get the default Handgun to max upgrade and got the exclusive upgrade. Now everything dies so easily. Those Novisatdors barely stood a chance! Their section is creepy when you get there, and that is all I will say. Killed Salazr's right hand henchman at the end of Chapter 10. My god chapter 10 is long!

I am waiting for Ada's campaign. But this is a must-play once I get to it. I think Ashley is hot, and I will mod in Ada's original outfit anyways. But if you want that in a game buy a PC.

The knife fight with Krauser is awesome. I hope y'all upgraded the blade to near completion or completion in power and durability. I know I did before the fight. Salazar was a pain in the ass. The framerate kinda goes to shit when using the scope on PS4 (if there's too many enemies or a giant boss that moves really fast). I think the game's adaptive difficulty went easy on me during my 4th retry. I am on the island and stopping for the evening. I've been playing all the day. Wish me luck. Currently at the start of Chapter 13.

I have to say I am loving this way more than the original. I know some stuff got cut out (the U3 fight for example), but I never cared that boss, and leads to a better pacing for RE4Remake. Another removal I noticed is that incendeary grenades no longer exists. Just regular, flash, and heavy grenades.

In fairness, as someone who played the original to death on the Wii, because there was very little worth playing on the Wii. And I am surprised at how much of this is new, there are bits that you will remember when you see it like the lake or the El Gigante encounter. The rest of it looks very different to the original.

I disagree with you, but I see where you're coming from (at that time) when the Wii version of RE4 came out.

I've heard people complain about Ada not being in this version as much, which is true, but she was not in the original game that much either. Sure, she was given a bit more to do in the original, but she was still off screen for most of the game. The only reason people say that is because of the two extra scenarios, but both weren't in the original on Gamecube. Those came later on the PS2 and other future ports.

I stopped at the beginning of Chapter 14 last night. I'll try to see if I can finish the rest this evening when I get back from work.

Ashley is 20 years old.
You are correct. Still doesn't change the fact that many of these guys complaining are either twice her age, or are pushing 40 now. They can still screw off. You can get your fan service and porn from other places people. Get your heads out of your asses.

Look at that, pervy idiots acting like pervy spoiled idiots who never grew out of that immature attitude. Y'all are grown adults, she fucking fifteen! Get a life.

Let's be honest. PC mods will fix this.

I know, which is why it makes their complaining all the more petty and stupid. They can still get a life, it's easier for them to sit on their asses and do nothing but be a biatch for the rest of their lives.
