Well saidCapcom has been wrecking this franchise for years. Every dog shit game they release is too overly hyped up and the praise is ridiculously high each time. They don't even have any good, original ideas. If they did, they wouldn't need to revisit the year 1998 so many times with all of these remakes, films, spin off games, and whatnot.
I've honestly lost count.
The games started going downhill with Resident Evil 4. I've never understood why everyone loves that game so much.
A couple of the RE films are actually pretty decent if you go in with low expectations and don't require any loyalty to the games.
The plot of the game series is garbage anyway. The voice acting in the first game is some of the worst I've ever witnessed. As the games go on, the plot becomes more and more convoluted.
I've played every game except for RE7 and Village, because I refuse to get a next Gen console capable of playing either of them. If it doesn't run on a Nintendo Switch, I'm not going to play it.
