Any predictions for RE9?
The most obvious thing is we haven't seen that first person style done in a Racoon city type urban environment yet, but that would be too obvious and not real interesting, this is also assuming 9 will still be first person.
I started up RE5.
Man, this game is fucking stupid.
How the hell did we go from the creepily beautiful gothic locales of REmake and RE0 to dingy, dirty African slums? It's the exact polar opposite of what this series should be, that's not keeping it "fresh", that's veering off in such a different direction you question why make it part of the series in the first place.
On top of that the writing feels very hacky, Resident Evil has always been cheesy but this is cheesy in a bad way, Japanese devs trying to imitate western games instead of doing their own thing.
The cherry on top is that the Spencer death scene is even worse than I remembered, my memory had softened that by imagining we see him say something like "Wesker, you traitor!" before being killed, but we never even really see or hear him, he's just already dead on the ground, that is such bullshit, that is the writer taking a dump on this series and I hate it, once again I have to say that that needs to be retconned and we need a proper confrontation with Spencer, I mean since we never get a good look at him anyway how do we even know he's really dead?
But I just want to finally be able to say I finished it, thankfully I've found someone on Steam who's going to help me get through it quickly since they already have a bunch of advanced weapons unlocked and are way more of an expert at it than me, what's funny is their costume of choice for Sheva is this sexy red riding hood outfit, which spruces things up a bit.
But yeah, this is a bad game, it's lacking the charm that even RE4 had, this makes me appreciate RE4 more tbh, thank goodness the series eventually got better.
