What's with all the people going on about the plot and characters of Resident Evil?
Before like, last year, maybe two years ago, nobody cared about the story in the games, everyone knew it was dumb to care about it, because every game is dumb. It's all the same
>characters go to a place for dumb reasons
>they fight monsters and solve retarded puzzles
>they find out that actually it was Umbrella behind everything and act surprised about it even after the 50th time this happens
>game ends with everything exploding
There is no real story, it's just dumb nonsense, not to mention how the characters are one note at best.
>Chris is hero guy
>Jill is cop girl
>Leon is silly guy
>Wesker is evil guy
etc etc etc

So, why are people pretending to think this is interesting or worth caring about?

no nu-Ada no buy

Gee I don't know anon, let's see Spencer is now a dindu, Umbrella was never the bad guys it was the connections all along, Hunk dies, or maybe it wasn't Hunk, Temu Gay Pimp Wesker, Gideon's actions make no sense. The U.S. Government didn't launch the missile that destroyed Raccoon City, in the end of OG Re3 the U.S. government launched a missile that destroys Raccoon City. I know those old games aren't cannon, anymore muh remakes, but it's still stupid. The game feels like a rushed development hell product, thrown out for Resident Evil's 30th anniversary, because it was.

Seems to me that it's mainly just foids that Jilled off to Leon so much that at somewhere in-between they've psyoped themselves into thinking there's anything of substance to his character and, by extension, substance to any lick of the plot. RE story has been raped A to Z. From the very first game nothing made sense. Of course, these are some of my favorite games of all time. Every aspect of them besides the story is excellent. The writers clearly see it as glue to put together a product while the shit they cared about working on does what you came there for.
But some but a type of foid will essentially see Leon as their waifu. And of course there's gotta be more to his personality than just dishing out quips. And the only way that could happen if there was substance to the plot for Leon to have context in. So now RE has a plot because they can't just look at Leon and masturbate. Some reason these types of people tend to like or have liked kpop music. I believe it must be the same mechanic. They think kpop twinks are sexy and different, can't just jerk it out, now they're listening to shitty music.

>Tertiary has tertiary understanding of the series and characters
>disingenuously argues that it doesnt matter how shit the new game is by pretending the old games were shit too
The games stories were always usually coherent in the context of the world the game exists in, with outliers such as RE6 being lambasted for jumping the shark. And while the characters were shakesperean, calling them "one note" is inaccurate. Chris went on a multi game journey starting off as a dishonorably discharged hothead that marches by the beat of his own drum and cares about very little besides himself and his loved ones, to going on a revenge fueled campaign as a stochastic terrorist against the government and the mega corp that killed all his friends, fomenting a rivalry with his former boss who he looked up to and was revived as a super powered monster man, reforming into a government agent dedicating his life to trying to make the world a better place after losing and then rescuing his life partner and love interest and killing his rival once and for all, adopting a billions must try outlook after saving the world twice over. And this is JUST Chris and I'm heavily abrdiging most of this.
Capcom then immediately raped his character into being a generic soldier guy for the rest of time though
Resident Evil was always a melodramatic soap opera with its revolving door of regular cast members. RE9 throwing most of it in the dumpster for cheap thrills and member berries obviously is going to upset people, especially if the gameplay - which is virtually non existent btw - doesn't make up for it.

>>738945589
I think it retconned way too much
They ruined spencer, probably because someone at BlackRock selfinserted as him or some shit
>>
>>738947109
The problem with the remakes is that steal time from the new ones. As soon as they run out of remakes they can make better development since you can tell they had to rush/change things in both village and requiem
>>
>>738945589
another reductionist faggot... just because you're a retard and don't pay attention it doesn't mean everyone is as obtuse like you. every game before it had a shit load of documents and you could follow the days before, during and after the outbreak. It's a shame we cannot gatekeep the series anymore but hey, if you're entertained by this garbage entry then by all means continue enjoying it. I'm done with RE

Resident Evil should have ended the "legacy characters" after RE5. Better yet, they should have never had returning characters at all. Shit is just Bioweapon Avengers now.
>>
>>738947938
If the players shouldn't care then capcom should stop making the games thoughbeit? Ywnbaw
>>
>>738949381
I don't understand why they brought Chris back over and over after RE5. All of his character and story beats concluded with him flying off into the sunset with Jill in one arm and Sheva in the cuck chair.

>>738945589
OG PS1 trilogy had an extremely tightly knit conspiratory X-Files inspired narrative/worldbuilding, something the series never again truly has had post-2002.

I don't know why shills will never just try to argue the merits of things they like

If only they cared about Jill

Here's what I want to know: why do 9ggers seethe so much about Crowbcat in discussions about 9, when he hasn't made a video about it?
>>
damn so now that the dust has settled, re9 wasnt as good as we thought?
is it atleast better than re8?
>>
>>738955305
>better than re8
Yes
>>
>>738955359
okay then, so its a decent resident evil game. anything resident evil entry that is better than village is a win in my book.
>>
>>738945589
>everyone caring

nonnie its just grifting slobtubers on ciajewtube that need to pump out the latest fake controversy for shekels. nobody cares about teh story in resident evil.
>>
>>738945589
A new RE movie is coming this year that's wholly disconnected from the games. So people have to pretend all that shit was critically important so they can get assmad about it.
>>
>>738955305
>better than 8
The honest answer? It's not. Maybe if you prefer the member berries, I guess, but it does pretty much everything wrong that 8 did, but worse.
>>
>>738955847
Uh, no. People are going to hate it because it's a parody comedy movie.

What's wrong with that? Resident Evil is a horror comedy series.
