Recently started replaying CV (I know, shoot me), and it got to the "Steve is suffering." moment. So of course I just muted the game and watched him helplessly smash his hands against the door while listening to this for some ungodly reason.

I'll bet if I look hard enough I can find someone that did that with the "relationship" that Steve and Claire had

I've seen wrestling shipping AMVs, so I don't doubt that it exists. Man, it's so sad we're never going to get to see Steve again  . He and Carlos were both banished to the horrible swirling vortex of characters too inconsequential to even cameo.

You are a sick and twisted person, and I laughed way more at the mental image that popped up in my head than I really should have done. Thank you.

Our sidegame extravaganza continues with a short trip through Devil May Cry! Fair warning: I am horrible in this playthrough. The combination of being more familiar with the later instalments, not really practicing, and trying to talk while playing means that I bumble through pretty ineptly. I don't even discover the dodge move until episode 3 or 4 or something so for all you DarkSydePhil fans this is a bumper crop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2aZwWd-ou4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BvL88cglJ0 Lady Naga fucked around with this message at 19:17 on May 11, 2016 |

Carlos was at least competant, and worked as a plot device, and to give Jill someone to talk to. Steve.....didn't fill that role very well. But then the plot to Code: Veronica is so incoherent and confusing I'm not entirely sure what Steve or Claire actually did for most of it.

They are completely superfluous to the plot, except Claire brings Chris to Antarctica where Alexia dies and Wesker escapes rather than possibly the other way around if he hadn't been there. Edit: Wait they somewhat indirectly cause Alfred to die, he might also have survived. namesake fucked around with this message at 23:40 on May 11, 2016 |

Oh, Devil May Cry. I never really got into this series, even though on the surface it was like some weirdly bastardised mash-up of RE, Onimusha and Dynasty Warriors -- three franchises that a lot of my PS2 time sucked up -- with all the exploration and action which went on. For whatever reason though, the general style just didn't click with me and I found myself not caring about it. That being said, even I'm aware of this gem of a scene:  MASSIVE (probably) loving DMC SPOILER ALERThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhoauIZaCDE END SPOILERRegarding Carlos, I'm not entirely sure why he was totally relegated to being a one-off character we'll most likely never hear from/of again. RE3's ending pictures -- both of them -- suggest that he and Jill would have at least stayed in some form of communication, and what with him being a former UBCS merc he'd probably be useful to the BSAA in some practical form with his skills, but nope! Despite being directly responsible for the survival of the franchise's original heroine, off he goes, consigned to the same dustbin of history as Billy Coen and other no-marks. (The BSAA meanwhile hires some questionable invididuals who appear to be incredibly incompetent, but I can't say anything else about this right now. After all, we don't even know what the BSAA is yet  )But then look how long it took for Barry to get his rightful turn in the spotlight. Nineteen (count 'em!) loving years!

I really shouldn't be annoyed that we're never seeing punks like Steve or Billy again but dang it it just chafes me something fierce that the dumb gas mask man with zero lines or personality gets to be in every single game while actual real-deal characters are forgotten. Though I should be grateful we didn't get some sort of Lady Steve in Revelations.

But he's edgy and cool and therefore appeals to today's hip youth! In all seriousness I'm not too broken up about one-off characters like Billy and Carlos being pushed into the warehouse from Raiders. I'm a little more irritated that the other half of the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members have gone forgotten up until Revelations 2, and even then it was only Barry. What the hell has Rebecca been up to this whole time? You'd think she'd get a lot more facetime given how much Japan loves incredibly young and gorgeous protagonists. And appearing in Mercenaries Reunion does not count.

Sherry Birkin of all people was a main character in Resident Evil 6 so who's to say Rebecca won't be a main character in Resident Evil 7?

Yeah, Sherry returned after 14 years, and Moira in Revelations 2 was a pretty deep lore cut. You could see anyone again eventually.

Unless Caliban Cove somehow ends up as some sort of retcon game somewhere along the line but seriously, does anyone believe that can happen?

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:As far as "in universe" speculation goes, I'd say that after the mansion incident Barry was getting too old for a field role in this sort of unconventional monster-hunting poo poo, only being dragged into yet another round of it in Revelations 2 for family reasons. The man was approaching 40 during RE1 (nearing retirement age in that line of active military/special forces work), compared to Jill and Chris being a far younger ~23 and ~25 respectively. I doubt we'll see Rebecca again as either a main or side character in any campaign. She probably ended up in a rubber room somewhere after going through two separate spookhouse boogeyman incidents in as many days. And by now she's 36, probably way too old for a canon comeback regardless of Japan's love of young girls with big guns. they put on a stage play in Japan last year that was all about what Rebecca did after the Mansion incident. As near as I can tell this play is in canon (even though most of the world won't get a chance to see it) and basically she did a stint in BSAA as an advisor, similar to what Barry did and then hosed off to Australia to become a teacher. But even Australia isn't safe from B.O.W.s and so when there's an outbreak Piers and Chris show up. I am not making this up

It's bad enough Capcom has refused to localize a handful of games from a couple of my favorite series, now they're doing plays to expand the character lore?

Leon is the only reason people are even watching the damned things, Degeneration was fun. Damnation was...a thing. When is Vendetta supposed to come out? Next year? In time to line up with REmake 2 release?

REmake is ostensibly a rewrite to try (keyword: try) and shore up a lot of the discrepancies that 2, 3 and CV introduced, as well as to make a little more sense of some of the more ridiculous elements (you see, the mansion isn't a disparate collection of items and puzzles because it's a videogame, it's because the mansion designer is craaaaazy!)

Hoss Corncave posted:The concept of someone explaining to the builders that they want a secret door to only open when Moonlight Sonata is played perfectly on the piano is always amusing to me. "So the whole mechanism should be activated or deactivated by removing or replacing the shotgun?" "Yes, but only if you're a man." "...I'm sorry?" "If you're a woman, both doors lock and you get squished if you don't have a bearded middle-aged friend to help out." "Uh--" "Unless of course she's already met this purely hypothetical bearded man and received a weapon that's said to be really powerful against living things." "I don't... What?"
