General Some love for RE6...

Capcom's fans prefer 7 over 6. That horrible TCM wannabe.
That's sad. It feels like the storylines we once enjoyed just get left alone if the games do not gain the best review scores on IGN, and whatnot.

It will soon be 5 years since I joined this forum, and 5 years since you've been writing the same bullshit over and over again. I've never seen people as fixated as you two. The first one has been playing the same game for thousands of hours on multiple platforms and cannot overcome the reality that people have different opinions about it, while the other one doesn't play this game (or any other game in the series, really) and doesn't know it well because he is busy dickriding the first one.
It's not sad that I or anyone else thinks BIO7 is a better game than BIO6. It's sad that you're going to tell your grandchildren how you've been bitching about the RE community all your life.

I'm perfectly fine that someone doesn't like this idea.
I love Leon, Chris and Ada and I don't find them boring, just like my friends don't find them boring either. You're making up shit, like you always do.
Aha, now I'm harassing people. Guess you and Caffeine Addict are so entitled to frame people as religious fanatics and downplay their opinions that you think you won't get a backlash. It doesn't work that way: You both started a provocative discussion about people's personalities and are getting what you deserve.
You can blame me for writing about Umbrella over and over again, but discussing the series' lore doesn't turn the community into a toxic shithole.
Are you James Berich?
I have no idea who this James is.
I didn't overcorrect anyone or call the characters boring. These are just unfounded accusations.
I've never had a preference for Umbrella and Wesker to come back.
Oh, it's not that hard: I visit the forum almost every day and read what people write. When you write an opinion about games, I don't mind. When you start judging the fans, I can snap.
I don't know what any of this means.
I know I said I was done with RE talk, but Capcom is running in circles.
In all the time Capcom wasted on these remakes, we could have had a new game with Jake. Or Billy. Or Sheva. Or Barry again, even. There's a number of other characters we could see again, but nope. Just forget that ever happening.
Capcom's just been copying other games and then not furthering the storylines they already brought forth. This is an issue because they milked it too much, and backed themselves into a corner. Now every game just has a mainline character with no logical link. Or at least not one you fully understand right away.
Creative-wise, RE8 is not a game I can tip my hat off to. It's a really laughable game. I also hate it how people on GameFAQs etc, are like, as if to say, "Oh well, screw it. It's still a new RE game. Capcom has the final say in everything!"

I'm not denying anything. I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about. How could I call Leon, Chris and Ada boring if I not only love them, but don't even use the word "boring" in my vocabulary?
Said the man who also snapped. You've ignored me before, so why aren't you ignoring me again? You can start after this message of mine, but that won't change the fact that you wrote to me before it.
And I'm not playing the victim, just as I'm not justifying my behavior: I answered the question you asked me.
Did I mention that BIO7 saved the series? No, I didn't. Do I think that BIO7 is a return to the roots? No, the game has a distinct philosophy. I have no idea what you're talking about. And I have no idea how the opinion of Japanese fans and sales have to do with all this.
Yeah. RE6 to me was the last major RE storyline, and they arguably messed it up in the end. I would say Revelations 2 was the last decent plot twist, but that happens before the pandemic of the C-Virus.
RE7? Pfft. Nothing but a huge copy of every famous horror movie scene under the sun, so Capcom could "go back to the roots" and have it being a short-lived return to real survival horror, since they then just told lies, making out people said it was too scary, so RE8 was made into a blatant copy of RE4.
And before anyone says anything, yes, I acknowledge that RE1 and 2 copied movies as well. But guess what? Those were classic games. But whatever.

So… what? Do you mean that Capcom copied Alone in the Dark, but it doesn't count because of nostalgia? What's the point?
These games copied things, CODE: Veronica copied things like Norman Bates. BIO5 copied things like Black Hawk Down. In fact, Capcom has never stopped being inspired by various films and games.
You mention so often that BIO7 has ideas from Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as if it's worse than Mikami's team stealing textures for BIO4. That's what people should be judged for, not for their inspirations.
RE1, 2, 3 and whatnot were scary and action oriented with a perfect balance, while 4 decided to take a dump on all of that by adding in too many action elements. Thus destroying the core appeal of the series.
Newcomers can get into a comfort zone with 4 and 5.
However, they are barely horror. Every character is too strong.
First of all, I don't think Ethan or BIO1's Chris don't have personalities. What I said in these posts is that Chris and Jill were more avatar-like in the first game. Yes, Ethan's emotions were tuned down for the game, so he doesn't react expressively to the discovery of his wife, but Chris likewise doesn't say anything and doesn't show any emotion when he finds the corpse of his best friend, Forest.
Whether you agree with this opinion or not, I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that I find Chris boring.
Secondly, I don't find Leon to be an irrevalent side character. If you don't mean me, then I don't know how I was supposed to figure out that by "you think Leon is boring" you meant that some other fans think Leon is boring.
I was referring to your replies, not to who started what first.
I don't know if you intended to sound unsure or sarcastic with this question, I personally expected to get a straight answer. And I still have no idea what Capcom's money and some Japanese fans have to do with me.
So copying is justified by the fact that you were scared to play these games once many years ago? Is this the point?
No. I do like RE4 and can find honest reasons to like it without roping it with the rest of the franchise. Because unlike most people, I admit I like it for what it really is, and that's action horror (and no, RE4 is not really survival horror, since slain villagers gift you way too much ammo and other supplies).
I'm totally confused. Is copying ideas for old games a bad thing or a good thing? And if it's good, why is it bad now? Can you elaborate your opinion so that it's understandable to me and those who read this forum?
