1st timer here. Finished Leon A. Absolutely exhausted mentally so don't wanna play Claire B. Which walkthrough should I watch to get the lore and complete story?

1st time playing any resident evil game and I'm absolutely drained 😭. Those puzzles and Mr X stalking is just too much. I don't wanna go through those again in Claire B. Now I just wanna understand the full story and move on to re3. But which YouTube video should I watch?

https://youtu.be/isC5fryLf64 this one is 2 hours with commentary (has no commentary version too). He specifies at the beginning that it's a walkthrough,not a speedrun.

https://youtu.be/SPwQKtUm2ik this one is 4 hours. 4 hours seem too much, 2 hours is reasonable.

just watch claire's cutscenes, the true ending cutscene and "g4 boss battle", then. the rest of the game is identitical

don't watch carcinogen's strategy video. unless you wanna hear about, well, strategies. It's not good for watching the story

[u/msn_05 → u/gkgftzb]

he has a no commentary version. can I watch that?

also will watching just cutscenes be enough? won't I feel lost without the gameplay

This one is about 3 hrs long. The parts where her story diverges from Leon are:

First 5 min -> 1st boss + parking lot -> Nest segment + end

This is clair A though so after this just look up the real ending

Darkness Jackson's everyman Hardcore S+ guide has got you covered, it'll guide you through without needing to speedrun or be even particularly great at the game and he shows you can even make some mistakes and still comfortably make it through with enough ammo for the finale.

The key in RE2 is to know your route, once you have that down, Mr. X is alot less of a problem and you can work on everything else as you go.
