General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

So there's a guy on YouTube who live streams, and he recently decided he'd rather use Kick for his broadcasts, apparently because you can act like a bigger jerk on that platform and get away with it. So I went to watch him. And it's pointless.
I was just talking about how the bakery in the mall in one of the Silent Hill locations has nice graphics for a PS2 game. And then he said everything I say is random. It's not troubling me. I couldn't give a shit. You know?
Meh. But why do you get pricks like that on gaming channels? I mean, it's really just for fun. For a bit of friendly chat. But I don't know. They always act really snide with their silk-stocking tactics online.
Here is some fresh breed, yo!

I always wondered if Nicholai actually survives the events of Raccoon City, because in Outbreak, he is seen standing at a crater. Of course, this could be taking place prior to RE3.
Like most RE stuff from yesteryear, I lose hope for Capcom returning to any old storylines, and so on. This is why a DLC based game or weekly animated series would be amazing, in my opinion. This would be way more productive than churning out all these reboots and spin off media, that is its own thing. That way, a lot of heroes and villains from a long time ago could finally make their return to the franchise. Because I know others are infuriated over it too.
Jake. Angela. Barry. Billy. Natalia. Moira. Sheva. Josh. The list could go on.

That wrestler actually has the same name as my dad. It's Kenneth Anderson. 
He was fired from WWE years ago.
As for RE related views...
I think Alex Wesker is too important of a villain to be forgotten, right? So if Capcom decides to get it together, she needs to return. I wouldn't even mind if Barry was to bite the bullet. As iconic as he is, he's old. His death would be a great set up for the ex STARS members seeking revenge.
However, Capcom just hasn't got the family jewels to kill off any character. But a strong villain needs to have an impactful death, and I think Barry would be a perfect candidate.
At this point, I feel like the whole RE franchise has been backwalled due to the switch to action. Now everybody has some de-aging pathogen affecting them, seemingly so their MCU like cast can return repeatedly into the future. But every game has too much action, I think. Even when they briefly return to horror with RE7 or something, to get people thinking they're gonna change for the better, it quickly goes back to full on shoot 'em up territory. Although I prefer the more creepy, mystery feel. Like how RE3 the original was, when you had a shift in atmosphere via its music. It had the right balance, but RE4 was when it got too corny.
I still think a merchant being in RE was what "killed" the survival part. As I just prefer finding your stuff as opposed to trading currency for it. I never found the idea of doing business all that realistic. Most people would just shoot the guy, and run away with his supplies. So it's kind of dumb. Funny, but still a load of nonsense.

This guy is right. CV is so underrated.
That's good, man. 
I think you'll like these three games...

I could just use free ROMs.
Getting the physical versions new and sealed is way too costly, as certain games are well over 20 years old, and a lot of second hand shops have ceased business due to time or COVID, really. Like, they are ridiculously expensive on eBay now. Some are hundreds of pounds. So like you say, PC gaming or emulation should be the new normal.
I wonder what it is with these people saying RE3 sucks while pretending RE2 is astonishing. For I think RE2 has just as much cut content as the other recent remakes. Even RE4. It had less cut stuff, but you could say it was more so overhauled. Like how Ada gets to go through the laser trap instead of Leon, and the Salazar statue part is different. But objectively, the RE4 remake is very enjoyable.
Capcom knew they couldn't mess it up. Can you imagine the hate they'd have gotten from fanboys on X if they had let M-Two wreck it? The block party would have been an all nighter.

As I said before, RE fanboys online are just warped. They call RE7 a return to the roots and so on, yet all Capcom did was copy a bunch of scenes from popular horror movies, slapped RE on it, and basically ripped off all the other mundane, Steam based, low budget first person titles along with the likes of the more lauded ones like P.T. and Outlast, and called it a day. Merely because it was all the rage in 2015.
Then having the cheek to add in that Heather Mason clone, Rosemary Winters, in a Silent Hill type environment with creepy mannequins following you and being still, like the nurses. You couldn't be a bigger bunch of Konami hacks if you tried. Since Konami had to cancel their game years ago, they just decided to take the piss.
And yeah. Like you say, bashing RE6 is kind of dumb. They tried to make it RE again with Umbrella, viruses and zombies, and even made it you could move around, shoot, and roll on the ground. Although I get that the QTE stuff was irritating. But RE6 is more RE-like than 4 and 5.
I am so glad they removed the merchant, because you know, I hate that character with a fiery passion. I do find him amusing, but buying guns and whatever else in a survival horror world is equal parts laziness and unrealistic. At least in my eyes. However, since RE8 is a cut and paste job of RE4 regardless, they threw in Duke, and gave it the Creed 2 paint job.
Honestly. Sly's acting in the spin offs about his Rocky character is not what it was from Stallone in previous decades. Just listen to his bland approach with his, "That you?" remark to Drago. Delivered with all the charm of a wet fart. But this is what every Chris Redfield line sounded like in RE8.
In RE1, Barry gave you a few grenade rounds. But this was very sporadic. It makes sense, though. Team-mates do that. They assist one another in order to pull through a nightmare. But buying guns with gold coins that seems to magically fall out of a villager's anus, and looking for treasure in tombs feels too much like Indiana Jones to me.
⏳️ 
I get that I ramble a lot. But when Capcom went the silly route and people then called RE4 the GOAT of the series, I just wanted to barf. Because it's primarily an action game, with a small side dish of scares.
