Resident Evil/Biohazard series has always been about "rush" since the 1st that you could complete in like 2h or so and getting rewarded for it... You're blind if you never realized it. Also, you can't rush it if you don't enjoy it... I understand that you may not like to rush a game, but don't pretend that rusher/speedrunner don't enjoy a game by their way of playing it...
