being so Normal rn because i finally had the stars align and made it through the game without any of my normal issues. i had only used herbs to heal, saved once at the disc change, and not died which was on the road to an S rank. i only thought i was too slow.
as it turned out i made it just in time (4:18 while the requirement was 4:30) but i died in the most embarrassing way.
instead of dying at any of the normal chokepoints (Nosferatu, the fucking cinder block, etc.) i failed during a scripted bit before the last boss because what is Code Veronica without one shit design decision after another. <3
none of this would have been as bad if the game wasn't such a behemoth of shit to deal with (each disc is pushing past the length of the other classic style RE games on its own) but that just stacks on top of the other baffling decisions.
will probably come back and do the second disc to go for the S rank someday as long as my save never gets lost but i just can't be bothered now.
