The whole game can be skipped by not buying it, aswell.

But, it is a geat game. Why would anyone do that?

[FullmetalRoyale]

Why would anyone look to skip a boss fight?

[P_Bomb]

Going for the S+ rank trophies requires a speedrun. Personally I hate speedrun trophies.

[TGG_overlord]

My point exactly...I play games for the thrill, challenge and fun of it...So I don't want to skip anything.

It’s a fun Easter egg that very few would find out themselves. I didnt

[cammers1995]

Go play Fortnite then kid. Very likely RE4 wins game of the year this year. You're missing out!

Well, hold up, let’s have a discussion here. Do you not like the game? If you don’t, why is that?

I’m curious at what your perspective is if you don’t like it.

[ActualEngineer]

I'm trying to get the point across of "if the game is so good, why skip content?". Also this game, and the original, are passed around as if they were god-sent games, yet they always were linear corridor shooters with simple puzzle mechanics, good graphics and an extremely underwhelming cheesy story. CHILL WITH THIS GAME.

@actualengineer you do realize you can't apply your fatigue of corridor shooters to this game right? As it kinda invented its own mechanic and there was nothing like it at the time. Of course you'll feel that way now after hundreds of copy cats but this is the OG baby.

People can skip content to help speed run the game.

You get unlockables for beating the game quickly. Also, it can make it easier to beat on extreme difficulties to unlock the infinite ammo item.

The game is fantastic. I don’t see why anyone needs to be upset of people just expressing how much they like the game.

There’s nothing wrong with linear style games. However, this game isn’t totally linear. It requires backtracking, there’s options to tackle specific areas in whatever order you want, and there’s optional exploration.

You have to give props to the original as well. It set an industry standard at the gimme that many improved throughout the generations.

Why would I want to do that?

[EmperorDalek]

That's pretty cool actually, I wouldn't have thought of that.

[ZeekQuattro]

Will definitively do this in future playthroughs. In the original once you killed Chain Saw guy it wrapped up. In the remake its drawn out even after his death. Nice to see there's a work around.

[Wintersun616]

You don't have to kill the chain saw guy in the remake. It's time based. All I did was run away from the mob, collecting everything I could along the way, avoiding wasting ammo for nothing and eventually the bell started ringing and it was over.

[hotnickles]

Nice. Was this in the old one too?

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

Nice this is good to know, should help with trying to do an S+ run

[Psychonaut85]

Pretty cool!
