While I agree the OG wasn't anything amazing, but neither was any actor in that game. But at least they were instructed by someone during recording that didn't just record flat lines the entire time.
going back through the catalog, a lot of the VA's voices were strange for the game. Like they were given a script but no direction, like the didn't know the genre of game they were speaking for.
What was the point of Zeno? What even was he?
Memberberries for Wesker.
I did enjoy Zeno's facial expressions at the end of the game. Very expressive, I'd lament his loss but as it was said, he was an "imitation". Gonna take a guess and say maybe they'll use a Wesker clone to do a "remake" of RE5. Which is lame and gay, RE5 was a perfectly suitable game in the series and they don't need to dick around with it to remake it. And they'll never have a Wesker as cool as RE5 Wesker. His voice is fucking butter. Even his voice in Star Wars: Jedi Survivor as Rayvis was great.
eta: they don't need to dick around with the story of RE5, but they can fuck with the co op aspect of it
Ballwashes the newer entries, copes about the older ones by introducing problems that don't exist. Classic crapcum subhuman stockholm syndrome.
This is what I mean by people bitching just to bitch. I didn't ballwash the newer entries. But you'll pretend I did so you get to complain some more.
Give me one reason why you don't like Jill's character other than "girlboss".
Or just link me to the Synthetic Man video whining about it because I'm guessing you got your opinions from him.
I bought RE9 and I wanna give a late review of this game, especially how fudged and mishandled the starting of the game and grace section is.
The hospital could be much more than two halls with just few rooms and three puzzle boxes where the answer to the two is given to you on the face and bosses in the game with the singers and cook being somewhat cool, where you as some 5ft girl having to deal with a behemoth with a cleaver and singing zombies that can hit you with a shriek, the baby chunk type zombie is just meeh...it is also worse that the game allows u to insta kill almost everyone with an injector and they also missed a great opportunity to use system shock 2 mechanics of you researching your enemy to get more damage but instead we get a simple puzzle and unlock crafting more item..
I liked the backtracking but was so disappointed that they copied the last plagas late stage virus mutation where the enemies that now get up with head which looks straight up from chainsaw man bomb devil. They should just be up as normal bullets cannot explode enemies head and should have been a mechanic where Grace curbstomp zombies or a mechanic that use nearby objects to do the job.
Next grace segments like the courtyard hidden science lab is just a quick action scene that felt incredibly satisfying, like the game allows grace to be a badass, but I felt there was no noticable improvement we see in Grace, or some of leon personality rubbing on her. The cast of female RE is are often self confident and brave in front of heaviest adversities even when they interact with it for the first time, so Grace could have been much more brave but I guess it is what it is.
I will talk about more
They definitely could have fleshed out more. When I heard the singing from the chick in the bar area I was creeped out and expected a lot more than a generic zombie with a gimic. Like a mini boss fight for the area. They put a lot of make up on ordinary zombies, which I don't hate, I just wish they did more with the ones they decided to add backstories to.
Another thing I noticed was at the very beginning of the game when you unlock the very first door as Grace, there is a window open blowing a white curtain, spooked the shit out of me my first time playing it, I thought they might have added some ghosts which I think might have been a fun touch.
