But I've thrown in the towel. I simply can't be arsed with Mr X. He's not scary, he's not anything. As soon as he appears at the end of the corridor I literally just put my controller down and wait to die.
It's such a shame, but it's ruined it for me.
I'm out.

I don't see why he's such a big problem. He turned up a lot more often than 20% in my game and I never had to "deal" with him. I just ran from one objective to the next and eventually lost him, or I just used the layout of the station to go where he wasn't. It was pretty funny actually. I was up on the third floor balcony and he saw me from the main hall, and I watched him go into the library. I'd already finished my business and got back to the main hall by the time he finally arrived on the third floor balcony. I just looked up at him stomping slowly along and we looked at each other and I just had to laugh. The disappoint and resignation that must have been going through his head.

I do find it a bit mariokarty cheaty the way he can teleport around, one minute you lose him way behind at the other side of the station and then suprise he's somehow caught right back up again in a room nearby. Im finding claires run more of a chore as he's there just getting in the way pretty much from the start, while it's not game breaking it is cramping the fun a little. Decided to shelve it for a little while as i don't want to force my way through when frustrated as i wont enjoy it so i'll save it till im in the mood for some resi action & continue.

Ok, enjoying this a lot less with Claire on second run. I liked Mr X before because the game is so smooth (largely thanks to the map being very generous in how much it tells you). I always had a couple of things I knew I wanted to do and I knew how to do them and where they were. Mr X popping up just meant I had to run and not stop in doing these objectives, and deal with any enemies on the fly along the way. This was a nice change of pace from the slower more thoughtful parts. However, with Claire, I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I've been given a bunch of items I can't use for ages when I have basically no carrying capacity, and thanks to having just played the game "normally", unlocking everything gradually, the way it's supposed to be, I now have no concept of where to go or what to do or in what order. Being chased by Mr X in rooms full of zombies you have no ammo to deal with, you can't pick anything up because you're carrying ammo for guns you don't even own and items you didn't know when you'd be using, and not knowing where is a safe place to go is too stressful. Might trade this in early...

I'm battling the
G-Virus in the west wing lab
and it's proving tough to hit in the weak spots and dodge the lunges. Plus I'm worried about using up all my good ammo supplies (do I need the Magnum rounds to beat this beast?)

The Tyrant is always avoidable I find, even on the few scripted times that he shows up. He moves too slowly to be a threat, and he won’t follow you into every room in the place. He is quite annoying though on occasions where he is directly on the other side of a door when you just left him on the other side of the police station. He shouldn’t be able to teleport like that. He has got amazing eyesight too. I don’t know how he can see you two floors up in the main hall. I blame him for my runs all being only a few minutes outside of S Rank when you have to wait for him to get bored and walk away.Kept you waiting, huh?
