> I'm having a bit of difficulty getting into RE4. I kept getting killed in the first village where the chainsaw man is, near the beginning, and I was playing it on the easier setting.

I agree that was quite a shock for me too. The enemies are infinite, I ended up circling around the village until the bell rang. However you can find a shotgun/grenade in the second floor of one of the houses, you can then exit to the roof and run around there, you can also lock yourself in the top of the bell tower (via ladder) and hide in a corner so the molotovs don't get you. You can also barracade yourself in one of the houses and push wardrobes so they cover the windows. Lots of options, but the game design isn't great!

Another general tip is to headshot them until they stumble, then run up to them and kick them. When they're on the floor slash them with the knife until they die. That's the most efficient way to kill them and save ammo. Headshots seem a lot easier in VR than with a controller! Later on when underground, if you see water below you with fish in it, throw a grenade then climb down and collect tons of free food!
