The dumb parts of Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles notwithstanding, yes, all of the games apart from the cell phone games and BIOHAZARD GAIDEN are relevant to the series canon and yes, the official English translations are completely unreliable and differ greatly from the source. Please don't make me pull out examples.

Don't feed into it NB, the guy is trying to get a rise out of you. I've noticed most if not all of his posts recently are inflammatory at the very least, for the purpose of getting under someones skin. Reminds me of a few of the bottom feeders over at THIA.

... what the hell is it with capcom and coincidences?
theres the whole claire going to the umbrella prison that just so happens to be attacked by wesker, that just so happens to have a psychotic mutant lady who just happens to thaw out of cryostasis at that exact moment in time... not to mention the fact that her father (who is a mutant) just so happens to break his bindings from where he was trapped, and just happens to have a huge battle axe that steve magically gets... and the fact that her brother happens to get to the Island a few minutes before Roddy gets eaten... ohhh did i mention the Doctor zombie who just happens to reanimate as claire walks past... Its like Capcom Lost their god damned minds thinking of coincidences... and thats not even the half of it

And what if all you go by are the English versions?

That's nothing new with storytelling.



You're fucked.

It still makes my brain hemorrhage just thinking about it... who the hell came up with the scripting for those games?

Noboru Sugimura mostly. He's a great writer. CODE:Veronica is quite a giant coincidence though.

Yea... I really want to know what he was smoking... some special kind of Mota?

You forgot the coincidence about Claire being able to survive it all.

Please, remember that it's a videogame.

If you really want to complain about coincidences, read Stephin King's The Dark Tower series. Its full of coincidences, but there its usually because of Ka or Fate.

read alot of SK's books... anyway back to how coincident the RE series is... RE4 time... its coincidence that Krauser is working for Sadler to steal the Plagas power, and for Mike to show up when he did... and for Luis to lose those pills... and for ada and wesker to be involved at the same time as leon... and for Blah blah blah...
