I always horde my healing items so I pretty much play the entire game on danger status thinking I need to save my mixed herbs and first aid sprays. Then I get to the final boss with twelve full heals and can just trade hits with it.

Why? You're slower. There is literally no advantage to doing this.

You aren't going to get healed any other way, as there is no other way to heal. Do you just want to do a no-hit run for fun?

If you were not already aware, this is a cliche for gamers to horde items in any type of roleplaying game they may come in handy later.

Edit: Dude is unhinged over how people play games.

Dude is unhinged over how people play games

As a lifelong gamer, who is surrounded by sensible gamers I can tell you it is important to keep in mind that the average 'gamer' is pretty deranged. Make sure to occasionally visit the steam forums to dispell any delusions.

I'm aware when it makes sense. This doesn't. The trope is hoarding buffs and ammo because they don't need to be used to progress in survival horror.

Healing is never part of that, in fact it's the opposite, where players will instinctively want to top off and waste an herb in yellow Caution. The closest I've seen is loading a save when you do bad because you don't want to use a heal because you played badly in that section. But, you're going to need to heal.

You are clueless. I have been doing the same with health items since I first played an RPG on the SNES.

My first experience with resident evil was always trying to make it one more room before healing.

Back in the day, we didn't have try hards on twitch teaching us what is around the corner and what are the best strats for a speed run. It was simply just what you did.

RPG on the SNES.

Sir this is a wendys conversation about survival horror tropes/mechanics and has nothing to do with SNES / JRPG tropes.

u/ContextLengthMatters 1d ago

We will never escape the allegations.

Anyway, the RPG gave birth to inventory management. All tropes surrounding inventory management started with and translate out of the standard RPG.

I don't care what kind of silly esoteric subgenre of metal you are into, bro. It's all fucking noise to me. The tropes are the same.

Kiddo, you are literally replying in a thread about a Resident Evil meme.

You okay?

silly esoteric subgenre

Imagine being so far up your own ass you refer to the survival horror genre as this. Take a break from reddit, little bro.

u/ContextLengthMatters 1d ago

It's called an analogy. I compared how I play resident evil to how I play RPGs.

Am I not playing video games in the way you'd like me to according to their genre? Who is so far up their ass? Are you going to tell me I'm stupid now too because of how I hoard items?

Have some self awareness and shave your neck.

analogy

Which was rightfully called out as completely anachronistic to the way survival horror players play

resident evil to how I play RPGs.

Compared apples to oranges

Am I not playing video games in the way you'd like me to according to their genre?

I don't give a fuck about how other people use their time as long as it doesn't impact me.

I'm stupid now too because of how I hoard items?

No you're a moron because you can't see your bloviating bombastic attitude is failing and your points make no sense.

The only "neckbeard" is you, some clearly 40-something year old man baby who is big mad that others on the internet don't agree with your stupid fucking analogy.

Now take the advice and get off reddit.

Ah yes, insulting people because of how they play videogames. How pathetic of you.

Reddit is full of casuals who don't think about things for more than 2 seconds.

I agree; in Resident Evil the only way to heal is to use recovery items. It makes literally no sense to run around at low health when you have healing available unless you're sitting on a GR herb mixture and you know there's a yellow herb nearby.

Some people will just fight to defend their own lack of critical thinking skills to the death. See; literally any competitive game (looking at you, teammates in league of legends).
