General Some love for RE6...

The mishandling of every character is sad, I know. It's like when Hollywood reboots everything. Or they do sequels where they act like certain characters did not die, even when you know they did. Like Laurie in Halloween. This was because she died at the institution. They knew the series sucked after that. They had Rob Zombie come in for the remake. Robert Englund hated the remake where Freddy was played by someone else. Etc, etc.

RE becoming an action series was what both saved and destroyed it. Which is ironically funny, because it's true. But can you imagine if Silent Hill tried this? You would hear them cry blasphemy.

If there is one thing I can say about RE6 haters is that almost all of them only played the game once back in 2012 and never touched it again. This video proves how delusional some of these “fans” are towards the game when others in the franchise deserve much more criticism. Him stating the crossover sections being a negative is hilarious when RE:2 fell flat on its face with that. Saying the game is long and tedious is why we are getting shorter games today with less content packed in. Capcom should just ignore the fandom entirely and form their own vision for the franchise going forward.

Ironically, RE6 is more RE than 4 and 5. Yet many people never say this.

There are only zombies in RE5's DLC, in the mansion. The other enemies are just African villagers, for most of the time.

When zombies aren't in RE, it feels like a different franchise altogether.

Yes, because they have bestial behavior and have formed a kind of pack. They don't even look like wolves.

The same reasoning was in CODE: Veronica where Alexander was called a vampire because the workers heard howling and thought that the place is haunted.

All these and other examples are no different from superhumans with necrosis, who were nicknamed "Zombies" because they look like the undead from horror flicks, but they are not Romero and Fulci's undead. The t-Virus doesn't even revive the dead.

These nicknames shouldn't be taken at face value.

I've mentioned all the enemies looking lame at one point. Although just not at the same time.

Mert and I just think the game is crap. It's rather silly, and boring. I even find RE4 to be somewhat dumb because of the gameplay style (mostly), but I can forgive it because it's an awesome game with enough enjoyment. It's just stupid how enemies drop ammo, etc, but many of them don't carry firearms. But in general, RE4 did kind of help to kick off the downfall of survival horror, since most titles thereafter copied its style. I'm just not keen on the fact you never feel creeped out very often because of all the Hollywood style action sequences.

4, 5 and 6 are all the same, still very enjoyable. 7 is so-so, but Capcom should have gotten a better actor to play Chris.

Do they even try anymore? Nah. The big bucks is where it's at now...

I think RE5 ruined Wesker worse than 4 did. He was just an asshole in 5, with all his "I wanna be a god" lines.

In 4, I guess that was the start of his power trip. But I was sad to see him go once he ended up in the lava. Now all the RE villains feel rather dumb.

The new WWE stable that debuted with Uncle Howdy on Raw this past week, could give the villains in RE8 a run for their money. Look how scary they look. LOL.

That's scary. RE8 = a kid's fairytale bedroom story.

Hopefully the video plays. Some people let me know some videos are not available where they live.

That's why another animated Netflix show would be a great idea. They could finally provide closure for particular characters that Capcom has neglected to bring back for games, as producing games with a big budget is taking a gamble. But spin off media should be reserved for lesser important plot aspects that some fans would still appreciate having concluded.

You know? Like Jake and Billy. Etc.

Meanwhile the writer of the original first game Kenichi Iwao:

Wesker was using the giant organization Umbrella and had his own separate ambition to create a second humanity of his own design. For that reason he believed that the Tyrant, which produces the Tyrant Virus, would also be useful as a resource to threaten Umbrella. Umbrella's aim was to sell the Tyrant to every country as a weapon and take advantage of every nation's weakness and substantially control them, but as they advanced that plan, Wesker aimed for another objective… To filter humanity using the Tyrant… he was scheming mass extinction and forced evolution. Ultimately the Tyrant was going to gain the ability to manipulate the virus and design living things. It was a "Creator."
