RE4 hating contrarians are legit idiots. Their whole argument is "muh SERIOUS horror!" when RE was never good at the horror side of things.

Name one scary moment in RE games that wasn't
>cheap zombie jumps out of window jumpscare
I'll wait.
GamePro Tip: It can't be done.

Horror relies on making the protag feel powerless. Any game were you have Rocket Launchers, Grenades and military training isn't a "serious horror" game.

RE4 was based bcuz it just accepted the goofball campiness of the franchise and went full retard, in a fun way.

>RE was a serious horror franchise until RE4
absolute retard take
>but it had a few jump scares where a zombie thing pops out of a window!
It also had
>rocket launchers and belt loaded machine guns blazing
>intentionally campy plot
>unintentionally hilarious voice acting
>tranny vampires and giant snakes
>laboratory settings in "horror" games HAVE NEVER SCARY except, ironically, the regeneradors in RE4 (even those were mildly spooky at best)
Any game where the main character has guns and grenades and military/police training is an action game first, everything else second
>inb4 Sierra Police Quest
RE4 is based because it dropped all pretense and allowed itself to be stupid B-movie fun
