I've always viewed resource management as just an extra challenge to overcome. It's like a dare from the game, almost. It's like, "Alright, wiseguy; how smart and resourceful would you really be in this situation?" It's rewarding when it can be pulled off right. Not every game in the genre manages to make it compelling. Silent Hill: Downpour did it TERRIBLY, with its tendency to just flat out rob you of your items after certain points, making you look stupid for hoarding. I get it, though, if it's not your cup of tea. Sometimes just mowing down enemies is satisfying enough.
