Easy begining for new player
In the begining when you first get to the village don't go in through the back way and shoot the lady and go in that house. When you get there stop at where it says press x to look and keep going and proceed to shoot the people you see, stand over by the entrance, watch your back because they come behind you, keep killing by the entrance and try using your knife as to watch your ammo, once the first cutscene comes he is sending out more ppl wait for them to come to the entrance and keep killing till the bell rings and they leave. Once the bell rings go into all the houses and the backs of them and get the ammo/herbs/stoof and make sure you go into the top of that house and get the shotgun! It's very handy. Once you get the shotgun, go out the window closest to it and run round the roff and get the little red gem lookin thang then proceed to the next area.
If you go into the house instead of just killing them you will most likely have a hard time killing the chainsaw dude, 2 grenades, 4 direct hits w/ shotgun, about 20 (give or take a few) shots w/ the pistol and he killed me.
I don't even know if you can kill the chainsaw dude.. But if you can and you have tell me, and if you can have his chainsaw tell me.
