A lot of people on Twitter also seemed to make this misunderstanding. The pile in the third panel is other good RE games.

I knew it already, but it did kind of confuse me for a sec because Resi 4 is a lot more action-y than any of the others. Not to the level of 6 or 5, but it seems slightly inconsistent. Obviously there's nuance to the issue but the joke/scene is fairly simple so it doesn't leave a lot of room to say "4 was a perfect balancing act of action and horror" when the main point is "less action more horror is what makes good Resi games".

It also varies from person to person. Like, RE7's brand of horror didn't feel schlocky enough to be "Resident Evil" to me, it took itself too seriously. RE0 had the same issue.



Maybe it wasn't too serious all the time, though.

The first three games were pretty cut and dry when it was originally Japanese, it only got silly when the translation came into play. The first intentionally schlocky RE game was 4 as far as I remember, right down to AMERICAN PRETTY BOY SAVES PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER FROM SCARY FOREIGN ZOMBIES. And then there was zombie Napoleon...

Also, RE7 got pretty silly at times, especially when some of the bosses. Chainsaw battle much?

Do people actually play RE games for the plot though. Even in the good ones the writing is schlocky nonsense.

Me, I'm the guy. The plot is awful and hilariously bad but I love it.

I think originally the mansion incident was supposed to have been secretly engineered by Wesker as part of his diabolical plot to die and come back to life as a monsterman. It was all blamed on a nerd who later injected himself with the "TG Virus" that turned him into a big blue lady with electric tits and organic high heels.

Then RE0 happened and it was actually an accident caused by a leech taking the form of a younger version of the old man who raised it and it was just leeches all the way down. He was killed by Wesker and Birkin because. Just because.

Oh and at some point while all this was happening Wesker and Birkin kidnapped the daughter of the dude who built the mansion and just injected her with every crazy disease they invented until she grew eyes all over the place and Birkin decided that was amazing.

He was later shot, injected with his own crazy eye juice and then impregnated his own daughter before turning into a giant blob and exploding. :bravo:

Prequels in all mediums are terrible. It's all lazy writers using unnecessary back story as as a hole and shredded story elements as fiber then out pops a log of narrative poo poo.

Pikmin 2 is a very good game. Too bad pikmin 3 removed a lot of the very good things it did for no real reason. Thank you, nintendo, for removing the awesome c-stick feature that let me command my pikmin on the fly! I didn't need them to dodge that fat thing jumping at them.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
Also Pikmin 3 added some extremely good quality of life features like the Onions merging together, locking on and sending your dudes out in a swarm, sending your other captains to walk places while you do something else, etc.

I never managed to get too far in 3 because the gameplay just felt so bogged down by annoyances like not being able to tell my pikmin to move to the left instead of just walking into a puddle. The swarming mechanic felt useless because by the time they reached the dude and swarmed, it was already time to call them back or they'd all die. Plus bringing back pikmin one style days and adding a juice timer even if you weren't really in danger of running out wasn't especially fun. Pikmin 2 was great because you could take as long as you want and the game wouldn't poo poo on you for it.

The juice timer is a non-issue because even if you're completely awful at the game you'll finish it with like forty days worth left.
