I don't even know what this game is about, with all the drip feeding we've had, but I don't get what Michael Does Life is saying either. Nobody has to start with RE (1) to be a "true fan" (or whatever he implies people are). He repeats that so much. You can just play RE4 first or any other sequel you want, then do the catching up. It isn't hard to do.
Does he really say that? Huh. I guess I'm not a true fan then. Could of sworn I was.
Such a silly argument to make. Even if he didn't really mean that, plenty of people say stuff like that.
