The Resident Evil games (at least the few I've watched/played) have an inventory management system where each item takes up a certain amount of space, and you have to organize it efficiently in order to maximize how much stuff you can carry.

Oh, is that all there is to it?
I thought it might also have something to do with the personality of the character on the right, or that you get a smaller inventory box when playing as that character.

Some items take up multiple slots so sometimes you're literally playing tetris style packing, and if you didn't plan ahead around especially weapons you will have to drop stuff before you can take something better

Yeah, I have played Diablo II
It's more fun thinking about it in hindsight than it was, actually doing that
