Confessions of a wuss
My colleague Excitable!Puppy lent me Resident Evil 4, and I decided to put it into the PS2 tonight when I got home from work.
After chasing after my AV cable, and then puzzling through the friendly manual, I decided to have a go at it. After all, I figured, I might get used to the game play just by bopping around.
HAH!
The game starts off with the main character, Leon Kennedy, being dropped off right outside an old abandoned shack in the middle of the woods in a remote location. My immediate thought? OMGZOMBIESI'MGONNADIEAAAAAAH!
Yeah.
So I manage to get him to the door, and I'm still having difficulty with the controls (they're not the same as the other two games I've played on the PS2), and oh God I just know there's a zombie RIGHTBEHINDTHEDOOR and I haven't even started the game and my heart is currently residing in my mouth. Okay. No zombies. There's a live person who instead attacks me with an axe. I likely use too many bullets dispatching him, and realize that I can't aim for sh*t (how am I supposed to go for the head if I can't aim? The zombies are GONNA EAT ME!).
Then I get "instructions" from my "contact" to go into the rest of the totally abandoned village.
Uh, yeah. Screw that noise. I'm not doing this at midnight. Nuh-uh. My zombie street cred is ruined forever, but I'm willing to live with the shame, just so long as I don't end up freaking myself out for the rest of my ever-lovin' life.
Yes, I'm a wuss.
