Why do people want to pretend they're a superfan of RE but never played the game?
>>
they got caught up in the marketing
>>
fear of missing out
>>
there are no puzzles in modern resident evil games
>>
>>736669385
yeah, the puzzle being "walk 2m for solution"
>>
Thank the demakes and all the shitty memes the new "fanbase" crapped out.
>>
I played RE2 and hated it because it wasn't like MGS.
>>
Gatekeepers be like uhhhhh you need to actually play games if you want to be a fan of a game
Go touch grass

>>736668815
Posers have been a thing for a long time, anon

>>736669385
And yet modern audiences find them too hard. RE3 water puzzle would have fried their brains.
>>
>>736669661
I didn't expect them to be in at least 10s of thousands

>>736669717
>And yet modern audiences find them too hard
this is not true
according to crapcom their games sold millions of copies
>>
nu-capcom fans are they gayest to walk this earth, they just care about voice actors' personal lives and references to older games like marvel fans

Same reason you play anything after 6

demake fags are so fucking stupid

This seems like you went in thinking the wrong thing. That or you're just stupid
>>
>>736668815
These people latched on to RE starting from RE7. They are mostly redditors back then. If you point out that the mold sucks or RE2R failed the A and B scenario because Annette dies twice they'll just ignore it and make up some cope. No wonder...they only watched the games and didn't actually played it.
>>
>>736669385
I don't remember there being any in 4 or 3, but re2 still had that puzzle piece breaker puzzle one as leon and it had me scratching my head for a good five or ten minutes before figuring it out
which, to be fair, is exponentially harder than anything I've seen in a AAA game in a long, long time

wrong, I was 14 and very, very stupid.

But how does it affect you personally? Touch grass chud incel, shipping characters is just as valid of a way to interact with a piece of media as controlling their movement on the screen. Just because I don't read doesn't mean I don't love reading.

That's not quite true, only one third is for streaming. The other two are that he was a chef and that he is Canadian.

I LOVE Resident Evil i just DON'T want to PLAY those stupid puzzles!! Is not that hard to understand!

kek nothing but brain dead retards in here
cheers!

I never liked RE. The maze like levels. The constant retreading. And the FUCKING INVENTORY MANAGEMENT.

Basically a master class of how to stretch a short game into 15 hours.

Cute girls though I'll give it that.

I used to watch him on YT some years back, but these days when I try to watch some of his stuff he comes off as such a snarky and insufferable little cunt

Why not just at least be a fan of the movies? Why the games? They make movies for this exact type of person

He's become a millionaire and bought a huge house based on being really good at Resident Evil games, especially the originals, and is an encyclopedia of the lore.
I like him, fair play to him.

I don't really get this mindset in general. I have a friend, I have known him since the first grade (we're both almost 40) and he goes on about some game franchises here and there that he really likes and when I ask him what games he did play of said franchise he almost always says he watched someone else play it. Like WTF is this gamecuckery?

It's like you would say "My girlfriend really is a beast in bed!" and someone asks what your favorite position is and you say "oh I watch someone else fuck her!"

After he tells me shit like that I don't really have the urge to continue talking to him especially when it's a franchise I really like myself.

>breaker puzzle
You mean the one where you do math my nigga?
>>
>>736685469
I really don't remember what was the point of the puzzle except that it was about electricity and using chess pieces, tho I mostly remember it because it impressed the wife that I got through it and I got a blowjob out of it
>>
>>736668815
This is a strange irony where people who have never played a Resident Evil game are following commands from Twitter to get mad at people for not playing a Resident Evil game.

Chess pieces? Oh is that after the Birkin fight? Shoot I'm literally at that point right now lmao. Didn't know there was a puzzle after it. Also, congrats anon.

They’re fans of the characters not the games. They don’t even care about the story, just Leon.
>>
this franchise has done irreversible damage to the world
>>
>>736672159
You seem confused. The equivalent to "classical music" and "sports" would be "videogames"
You didn't play a specific game but like videogames? No problem here.
You didn't listen to a specific band but you call yourself a huge fan of that band? Nobody will take you seriously on that field either.

>>736668815
It's trendy and popular. That's literally it.
>>
RE has always been popular, it's been one of the most popular series since it's inception. The "worst" game in the mainline series sold 15m copies worldwide. The current state of video games, unfortunately, has TONS of social media presence. You can consume youtube videos, shorts, tiktoks, and of course streamers playing the games. RE has interesting elements, some likeable characters, and set pieces that just catch peoples eyes. It has great music, great character designs, the combat can look fun. It's got everything it needs to be popular. And because of social media, people often dont have to play the game themselves anymore to FEEL like theyre fans/knowledgeable.

It can be exhausting though, lots of these new fans will argue and come up with theories without having any info. Like the idiots who say the Commander from RE9 wasn't Hunk. Or the WORST type of nufan, Ethan Winters glazers.
