This nigger knows what he was talking about.

>WHO ARE YOU, THE PROUD LORD SAID, THAT I MUST BOW SO LOW?
I'm in my mid 20s, been playing RE since 1 on Saturn. I remember thinking I was going to get in trouble for playing the RE2 text adventure on videogames now known only as gamespot, because it asked how old I was when I logged in to play it. I remember the controversy about Chris smoking in the directors cut. I remembered running around with a toy shotgun through back alleys in brooklyn recreating with friends how RE1 would transition to RE2. I remember talking about unlocking the minigun in 2 with everyone at the lunch table and about the alligator in the sewers.
>2013, RE4 RUINED THE FRANCHISE.
Bottom line is I hate being told by a bunch of underage fags or softcore "Tru3 RE fans" at what point "RE jumped the shark" when they're full of shit.

Because even I knew the series was milked dry by CV. 3 was a disappointment compared to 2, and the survivor series was trash. Not to mention after 2 everybody wanted a piece of the survival horror pie, and arguably, some people came out with a better understanding of its core mechanics than Capcom (see the first 3 Silent hills), but liking RE is more than liking survival horror.

4 -was- the natural progression of things, you can tell this from DMC. It is also by far the best -game- in the franchise.
>BUT ITS NOT RE
EVERY true mechanic of RE, ranging from the basic control layout to overall game progression and hell, ending the boss with a rocket launcher, all core mechanics are there, even tank controls. The only thing that changed involved the TPS over the shoulder camera and number of enemies. Its my personal favorite RE and one best games ever, "hardcore" fanbases are and will always be shit.
