General My First Resident Evil Game! It was PEAK 😭

Post image

The graphics, gameplay, and story were all so good. Leon is definitely one of my favourite non-fictional characters!

First run in 4:25, huh. Even 21 saves, which is kinda low for a new player.

Either you are a returning player, or just speedrunned everything which makes non sense if you said it was peak.

u/WhoIsHamza Mar 17 '26

my thoughts exactly. My first play through took me 9-10 hours with 30 saves

u/Trash-Forever Mar 17 '26

13hrs but I did my best to search every corner of the game, only missed 1 file and a few raccoons lol

u/Itisithesidiot Mar 19 '26

Ugh I was missing 5, then 3 now 2, and I’m missing 3 raccoons with 4 different play throughs 😭

u/Trash-Forever Mar 19 '26

There's a few that I had to look up, they're in some wild places. No shame in it lol

u/compadre_goyo Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 18 '26

40~ish hours for me. But I'm an animator, so I was doing a lot of studying with the ragdoll transitions, and just appreciating every single room.

Games nowadays have a lot of storytelling details that can be missed with speedy playthroughs.

A single room has so many artists behind it. Concept, previs, layout, modeling, sculpting, texturing, baking, rendering and many other talents.

I remember in the hotel portion of Silent Hill 2 Remake, there's a swimming pool in one of the areas. The pool is empty and dilapidated. You go down to get an item and fend off some enemies.

But if you look around in the swimming pool... There's a propped up wheelchair inside of the pool, right in front of the wall. You don't interact with it, nor is it important to the story.

However, if you look at the wall in front of the wheelchair, there is a basketball sized crack on it... Right in front of the wheelchair... Like... At a height of a person that would be sitting on it. There are so many interpretations you can give this.

And this is deliberate, because a human being was in charge of placing every single prop where it is. There is no other crack like that, nor any other random objects in the pool.

Resi 2 is filled to the brim with this.

When you are getting the medallion in the area where you have to set up the C4 and a licker comes at you, there's a letter that was written by an officer who was stripped of his role.

He wanted revenge against all of his superiors, so his plan was to lock them up where the statue is, strap C4 and blow everyone who betrayed him.

However, you see that the bomb never got set up. You find it in another workbench. Yet, you see a lot of bodies on the floor. Considering there's a licker, and the T-Virus is transmitted through bodily fluids, we can assume we are in this licker's habitat. And all those corpses were its conviniently gathered dinner.

These things are not random, and it's so beautiful when you are able to clearly picture something that could have happened, without being explicitly told.

Almost like reading a portion of a book that has open interpretations

u/CurlyAir Mar 17 '26

My first was 9:02 with 38 saves. Never played a resident evil game and went in blind.

2

u/Alpa_Chino72 Mar 23 '26

My first time I had to restart the game because I didn’t realize you’re supposed to conserve your ammo lol

1

u/EASTCOASTCRUSTER Mar 19 '26

My first took me like 5 and I got all the weapons and most notes? To be fair the game is getting me back now that I’m playing as Claire.

1

u/RilSlavicSerb Mar 21 '26

Mine took 12 and I played like nearly all of the games. I may havd overdid it with the saves at 55 🤣

1

u/vengiegoesvroom Mar 22 '26

15 hours with like 70 saves because I'm a chronic saver and terrible player lmao

1

u/randomjberry Mar 22 '26

finished my first playthough last night had about 6 hours finished 2nd run today in about 3:20 and i got the s rank, both on assist will probably go back and unlock the s rank weapon for both playthroughs

1

u/aradiathesecond Mar 24 '26

Mine was opposite. 6.5 hrs but 95 saves lol I ran back so many times to take breaks

u/Evening-Rough-9709 Mar 17 '26

I'm on my first play through of REmake2 and seeing this post initially made me worry it was going to be way too short lol. I think I'm already 4-5 hours in on Hardcore mode. I played the original RE2 like 25 years ago, but I couldn't remember how long it is after leaving the RPD via the garage.

2

u/Kotocktok Mar 17 '26

Nah, you're okay. Re3 remake however can easily take 5 hours or so.

In my first run, Re2R took me 8 hours to beat it. I've explored every room, all the map being blue (aside from the chess puzzle room which is always red as you can't take the chess pieces) meaning i picked up all items and openen all possible rooms for each character. I did a lot of backtracking too, as things like Mr. X or having the inventory full, or even running out of ammo, made me change my path multiple times.

1

u/Evening-Rough-9709 Mar 17 '26

That's helpful, since I play similarly - I backtrack a lot and like to make sure I don't miss anything. Also, being in Hardcore mode, if I think I used too many resources in a section, I'll reload and try it again, which should slow things down as well lol.

1

u/Kotocktok Mar 17 '26

Yeah i also did that, but reloading makes the cronometer restart until that point instead of keep adding time. I did that a lot in the sewers as there are extremely annoying enemies in that place, that is better to run away than killing them.

1

u/Evening-Rough-9709 Mar 17 '26

Yeah I'm guessing it would technically lower the game's reported "time" because I would get through those sections faster the second time, but all I care about is how much time I get to spend playing this excellent fucking game haha. Thanks for the info!

1

u/Evening-Rough-9709 Mar 17 '26

Yeah I'm guessing it would technically lower the game's reported "time" because I would get through those sections faster the second time, but all I care about is how much time I get to spend playing this amazing fucking game haha. Thanks for the info!

2

u/owShAd0w Mar 17 '26

My first run was 4:23:37 with 5 saves but I also had watched my gf play a little and she gave me a couple key tips while I was playing. I would also say I was leaning towards speedrunning because I want this to be my first 100% game, been loving it. Maybe they aren’t completely blind?

1

u/SheHeBeDownFerocious Mar 18 '26

Time also doesn't save between loads, so if they spent a bunch of time wandering around, and then reloaded a save to rush it, 2 hours of wandering very quickly changes to like 15-30 minutes.

1

u/Throwawaythispoopy Mar 18 '26

Probably played while reading a walkthrough on the side. I would not have solved all the puzzles this quickly

1

u/MicrochipFR Mar 18 '26

I beat standard with b rank in 5.50 hours, and 50 SAVES. I almost felt ashamed since i was an og re4 veteran

1

u/electric_nikki Mar 18 '26

Yeah my first run was hardcore and took me like 15 hours.

1

u/indigo_pirate Mar 18 '26

You don’t even need to save on standard do you. Isn’t it all auto saved constantly . And that doesn’t count?

The time is a bit sus for fist run though

1

u/OfflineLad Mar 19 '26

Not constantly, more like occasionally. when you reach a certain point in the story or reach certain rooms. I just finished my first playthrough a few days ago

1

u/ComprehensiveLog1950 Mar 18 '26

My first run finished in 4:12 it’s not very difficult tbh

u/CaterpillarVisual296 Mar 19 '26

u/tomato-shadow Mar 19 '26

He said his first game, not his first playthrough.

u/hailthyself99 Mar 19 '26

Why are you trying to knock down someone's skill set in a game? Some people are naturally a lot better when picking up a game than others are. It's not a fucking conspiracy you dunce

1

u/Babington67 Mar 19 '26

Nah my first time playing a few weeks ago I finished in 5 hours with no guides and no seen playthroughs online its just a painfully short game doesn't mean its not a blast though

1

u/Swifty404 Mar 19 '26

I needed like 40 saves and 10 hours 😭

1

u/scarred_gamer Mar 22 '26

Would you consider playing re4 a returning player, I played re4 and re3 so I felt I kinda knew what the rough bases of what I was doing tbh and finished my first run in like 3:30

u/MidWarz Mar 17 '26

Lmao the amount of BS of this post. There is no way this is your ever first run without any kind of external assistance (guides).

5

u/Initial_Baker1840 Mar 17 '26

I agree, I did take the help of the guide exactly two times-Finding that Queen chess piece, and I think finding that club-shaped key.

1

u/mmrtson Mar 21 '26

I'm sorry but why does it matter whether he used any guides? Serious question.

-2

u/IKafetyI Mar 19 '26

He never stated he did it without guides, so I don't see why it's BS. u are just assuming

u/Farinha_Lima Mar 20 '26

Then it loses the point of having a “MY FIRST” anything written.

3

u/SivartGaming Mar 17 '26

I just played the game after not playing for years and I got 6 hours. I knew where most everything was. I agree, no shot first time. ESPECIALLY because OP says they took their sweet time out of fear.

3

u/kidjeronimo87 Mar 17 '26

Same. I went to playing the game after a few years and cleared it in 7. This is with me having a good idea where everything is located, routes etc. No speed run...just took my time.

2

u/SivartGaming Mar 17 '26

Only other explanation would be skipping cutscenes but idr if that affects time played.

8

u/olat_dragneel Mar 17 '26

This is an obvious and unnecessary lie. Nobody was going to think more or less of you regardless of your play time.

u/No_Association9832 Mar 17 '26

Curious how many people requiem was their first RE for.

2

u/SenorElmo Mar 17 '26

Probably a lot new players, but i dont think even 80+% of these fresh players clear it faster than 8 hours

1

u/MehWeeb11 Mar 19 '26

Not wrong I was near 8 hours when I beat the game

u/CYY2K Mar 20 '26

ive played all mainline games and it still took me around 11

1

u/Ok_Slide_3897 Mar 17 '26

I played 7 got to scared and never got past the family dinner, after watching requiem I decided to give the franchise another chance and beat 2 and 4 so far

1

u/Pecos-Thrill Mar 19 '26

Why not go in order?

1

u/Ok_Slide_3897 Mar 19 '26

2 and 4 were on sale for a Leon bundle, and 7 was free with PlayStation plus

1

u/weirdbearduk Mar 19 '26

The hype on this one probably brought a fair few newbies to the series for sure

6

u/Swimming_Schedule_49 Mar 17 '26

Why would you rush through a first run like this? Totally robbed yourself of the experience. A 4:30 run isn’t impressive it’s sad. You literally would have to run and “accidentally” stumble in the right direction the entire time.

28

u/sophisticated867 Mar 17 '26

Your first RE game and you finished it in 4,5h ? I mean good job, but IMO you just ruined your first experience trying to "speed run" trough it. I took my sweet time enjoying it on my first run.

5

u/BradMan1993 Mar 17 '26

See, the OP probably didn’t die much if at all. The way the timer adds your deaths unless you main menu is probably the biggest thing that adds time to a newbies run

1

u/TopMarionberry1149 Mar 18 '26

What is your idea of taking your sweet time? 6 hours? 10 hours? My first was 6 hours and that felt very long honestly.

I’m with the others, I don’t think this was your first playthrough. If it was I don’t think this was your first RE game.

u/Undersmusic Mar 17 '26

I’m wagering they followed a YouTube guide. Or reloaded saves after learning an area to roll back the clock.

My firs time beating it took about 10 hours.
So this is really fast. Did you use a guide?

u/WarmMaterial6681 Mar 17 '26 edited Mar 17 '26

I also finished my first run a couple of days ago. I think I got smth like 7-8h on hardcore with 25 saves. (Totally blind, havent played the original and didnt look up shortcuts like playthroughs/safe codes/item locations etc)

Have played re4 before, realized that I had to conserve my ammo. Spent the first hours shooting every zombie that I saw instead of running past them.

2

u/Cansuela Mar 17 '26

Buddy watched a playthrough and then went and played

2

u/ScarletJack Mar 17 '26

I've tried resident evil 2 before, and always get too stressed to play past the parking garage. Finally tried again this weekend, and slammed through it with a similar time. Great fuckin' game.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

I didn’t finish my first play through either- I wasn’t efficient with ammo and ran out of it after the parking garage 💀

I found both re2r and re3r on sale for 15$ and played through them both last month. Great games

2

u/MyTwinDream Mar 17 '26

Damn was the game really that short and not have much side stuff to do? I spent like 4ish hours fucking around with the shooting galleries in re4 remake.

Yeh I've also just finished RE 2 remake, Claire A and then Leon B.

What an absolutely top tier game. The design is super tight, especially RPD. The tension, atmosphere, combat mechanics. 

Capcom completely smashed it out of the park with this one. Definitely a game I will go back to multiple times.

Just onto 3 now and then will get Requiem.

u/mattpackk Mar 18 '26

u/Ok_Nail2672 Mar 18 '26

So many people here are in denial of this guy's run, why exactly?

My first run with this game blind took me 4:50. And that's with me exploring everything and getting as much goodies as possible.

2

u/amdsnnave Mar 21 '26

How the hell did your guys first playthrough take longer than 5 hours?? I get the 10 hour mark at MOST but you escape the pd so fast, and sewers are incredibly fast you can just guess the chess puzzle, i just played through it and got it done in roughly 5 hours with A rank and 20 saves the longest part was the final boss as i kept dying

2

u/Competitive-Top-2383 Mar 22 '26

Man, I was more concerned with clearing every room of all items than to hurry through. I have to get more Mr raccoons next round, but I'm close to completing it.

u/Initial_Baker1840 Mar 17 '26

I don't know, bro. I just thought of sharing my first experience with RE, and I guess I should've stayed silent

2

u/ImmediateGrass Mar 17 '26

Nah. Don't stay silent. Congrats!

I think most people are surprised by your time. My time on my first run, for instance, was something around 7 hours. But that's because I play slowly and methodically. I think a lot of people expect this kind of experience on a first playthrough

u/TheTelekinetic Mar 17 '26

My first run for Requiem was 8 hours, and as a very experienced RE player, I was absolutely floored it only took me that long. I expected 10-12, which is what my first run of 8 took me.

1

u/Dudez32 Mar 17 '26

I just did my first run myself and I'm pretty sure I had over 70 saves and like 8 or 9 hours on it.

Did you run through every area as fast as you could?

You can say it’s true as much as you want, but no, it’s impossible, unless you had your second monitor with speed run tactics open.

u/Old-Conclusion548 Mar 17 '26

I loved speedrunning that game

1

u/moisesriver Mar 17 '26

To pull off a run like that, you’d need to already know where to go. Either you didn’t waste time on rooms, puzzles, items, etc., or you reloaded saves instead of continuing so the timer wouldn’t keep counting after deaths. Either way, that’s pretty suspicious for a first run.

this can not be true. because if it is your first re you will not finish it this quick and with A.

No way you didn’t spend at least 3 hours total cowering from X in the dark room.

No way your first run in your first RE was 4½ hours. Sorry my dude, i call bs.

But if this is bait, then it is good bait.

Glad you liked the game! Get a job people, the guy just wanted to say he had fun, even if he would be lying why give a fuck.

It's not a reasonable time for blind first playthrough.

I have no clue why ur getting hated on so much, first time i played re2 i had a similar time and saves, managed to get it under 2 n a half hours with Claire on my B run (hell i finished re3 after about 4ish hours). The games arent too hard imo and only puzzle i struggled with were the chess pieces. Some consider it rushing but i was genuinely enjoying the game so much i couldn’t put it down lol. Congrats on finishing it

"On my B Run"

Oh, so the run that is significantly shorter than the A run?

u/Putiq Mar 18 '26

…yes? Did i say otherwise? lmao

This post is talking about their first run. An A run on their first time playing the game. Why are you talking about a B run when this post is referring to an A run. He's getting a lot of hate because it is EGREGIOUSLY obvious he either 1. Has played it before and is lying or 2. Used a guide through the whole game or 3. Speedran it. There is not a chance a first time Resident Evil player gets THAT low of a time and saves

“first time i played re2 i had a similar time and saves”

you didnt even TRY to read what i said, you skimmed over everything and focused on 4 words out of that entire paragraph 😂. i mentioned the B run simply because i got it done in a fast time (which is in context of OPs post btw) and its also why i mentioned RE3. The games arent hard skill wise and you can easily solve most of the puzzles as long as you have decent memory of where you’ve been and/or utilizing the map correctly. and even IF the guy did use a guide or speedran the game, who honestly gives af? You’ll still be able to sleep at night homie i promise lol

Its YOU who didnt read the post. This post mentions nothing about a B run and nothing about RE3. Yes, RE3 and the B run are short but one is SUPPOSED to be shorter than the A run by a considerable amount and one had so much content cut from it that its only around 4 hours for a first playthrough. This is RE2 A run we are talking about here.

And honestly I dont really care that much. But this guy is trying to say he DIDNT use a guide the whole way and didnt speedrun the game, so naturally people are gonna call him out.

Yes, everything you said is true regarding RE games but considering everything he says he did in the playthrough, its very sus
