This game sucks. It's just a game that helped to create a bunch of pointless memes about Alcina Dimitrescu.
Any correlation to the previous games feels extremely forced in, just like Chris coming back feels a tad out of place as well. Now I didn't find it unenjoyable, but you honestly have to know about the franchise and what made it work to begin with.
The idea that a type of mould can create machines and vampires and things that look like werewolves, is just silly. At least in the older games, it was somewhat more believable in a weird scientific manner. Although even saying that is hard, as it's probably not meant to make much sense anyway.
Quite frankly, Chris is only in these shallow cash grab games because he's the main character of the older, far better games. I've always hated Capcom's move towards action with overrated dog shit like Resident Evil 4, which isn't even scary at all anymore. This is just more of what they've been doing already.
There's so many plot threads in this series, that it's ridiculous. They always seem to end one game to where you THINK Capcom will set up a continuation. But then they usually make up a new storyline in the next game, that creates an even bigger mess. It just gets annoying when this is all they ever do.
I know some people won't agree, but Capcom has wrecked the franchise. Even those two remakes we got in recent years, were commercial dog shit. Yet since people admire the original Resident Evil 2 and will defend Capcom regardless of what they churn out, criticising the remake will be like blasphemy in the eyes of purists. But it's kind of dumb how the third remake, which is vastly similar, gets all this hate. It's just stupid, considering they both have their faults.
Hell, the second remake basically repeats cutscenes between both scenarios. In the original, it actually felt like Leon and Claire had a separate adventure. The remake felt like a teenage drama film with horror mixed in. Not to mention the story was trashed because there was inconsistent things, and they removed a lot of enemies, items, and locations, to save on money.
I'm sorry, but the series has lost whatever identity it had. Capcom even got a Dutch film director accusing them of stealing enemy designs from his movie. But yeah. I'm well aware that Capcom enjoys copying things. They even copied The Last of Us for Resident Evil: Revelations 2, with the winter section with you hunting white rabbits, and shit. But there was other stuff in the game they imitated as well.
If nobody even notices any of this, then I don't know what to tell you.
