RE4 Why are the RE4/RE2R communities so toxic?

Basically, they're ill mannered people acting tough behind their user names. In person, they're likely to not get too confrontational. Online, they feel safer.
You're right. People who talk a lot of bullshit talk are cowards hiding on their computers. I never get involved in people who act like animals. When I see a post that looks bad, I just move on and never come back to it, even if I started that topic thread.
 
Trolling is pointless.

However, watch out for this "Gimpy" guy. He likes to say sick things about my family, and fill up unmoderated forums with spam. Which he was actually recently doing repeatedly on anxietyforum.net until the site was suspended.


I reported him to a very sceptical admin on The Horror Is Alive. He said I was trying to defame my stalker. How stupid is that!?
 
I wish they hadn't killed Wesker off in RE5. By that stage of the franchise, they had altered the formula to where it was becoming unrecognisable. But Wesker was like a glue that held everything together. Add Wesker to a game, and you were guaranteed a boost of sales.

But he was barely in the game until probably the last quarter, and I thought the game was generally not scary, and was just about you killing waves of the same type of enemies that RE4 included.

Since it didn't feel like a RE game, and then he died, it killed a part of the soul of the series. At least in my opinion.
 
So are the remakes replacing what is already canon? I don't see the point in these remakes, if that's the case.

I really feel they're just doing them for the money. They know RE fans have a habit of just going with the flow, and supporting whatever they do.

Fortunately, some people know how it is, and have stopped caring.
 
I hope the remake of RE4 will be more scary, as is rumoured.

I don't care much for the bombastic, over the top, Rambo style of the original. But making it more eerie and serious?

I'd support that direction.
 
RE is a money maker first and foremost. There is no reason for them to take their prized cow to the slaughter house quite yet. The existance of the Rose DLC being set in 2036 is what’s bothering me the most right now. It’s the biggest time jump since RE4 and there is no reason for it unless they are going to skip the BSAA siege story along with The Connections and Shen Ya activities.

Maybe we will get another rail shooter called The RE Engine Chronicles that will quickly gloss over these events.🫠

I feel like Wesker dying and whatnot, wasted all of the potential that Capcom had mustered up. The same with changing from fixed camera angles to third person run and gun trash, then that on rails BS. It made the series feel pointless, because all of the build up really did not lead to a good pay off. But hey, why should Capcom care about that? They basically drew in new fans with RE4, and look at how profitable action games have been. So Capcom alienated all of their older fans, who liked the slower paced, horror themed games. Of which RE4 arguably still has to a degree, but not nearly as much as the previous entries. Now they control in a shitty way.
 
Do you think it will have mia?
I don’t even care enough about her honestly to even consider her in a chronicles spin-off or RE9. Mia reminds me of Ada in some ways with how shady and morally confused they both are. Shadows of Rose will be the end and hopefully we can move past the mold and back to viruses and parasites again.
