Ok that reply actually made me laugh ngl KEK

Dude you can’t remove them - they’re rendered onto the shot. Maybe put some tape over your screen where they appear?

Guys don't interrupt my conversation with chicken_heart!

Play the GCN version an skip all of the cutscenes 🙂

I know I'm late to this shit show lol, but as someone who played RE2 since the o.g. version released in '98 (not even DualShock yet haha), one of my main goals in playing was to beat the game as fast as I could, bc that was one of the criteria for unlocking the infinite extra weapons (I mean, what 9-year old in the late 90's didn't wanna blow shit up with rockets, or mow down hallways full of zombies w/ machine guns like Rambo?!?! Amirite?!)

So beating the O.G. RE's on the PSX as fast as I could manage (at that time) was always something I was aiming for, even prior to me learning about speedrunning around mid-2017. And since the old RE's aren't the type of speedruns where you can perform wall-clips, or credit warps, things of that nature...you still get to experience like 95% of the game ANYWAYS. You just happen to be doing it quickly and hyper-efficiently. Which, at least imo, shows your total mastery of, and devotion to, that particular game. And to me that's a beautiful thing. Don't come to a site with "Speedrun" in the title and then question the reasonings as to why so many people do it. That's just ridiculous.

that's all well and good but can we keep this IMPORTANT to the actual run? like strats and new things that may have been found to help the runners, nots posts that are basically a google search for a mod or a twitch bio. Ta
