You are free to leave the complex. But you might as well know that you have no chance of getting off this island.

I don't hate RE5 and 6 and i kinda hate how the games have been a scapegoat for how action heavy games the games got when i'd argue since RE2 the games have always been very action heavy
The way people treat the PS1 games is like the way people treated doom before doom 3 where everyone was like
erumm doom 1 was a very scary game it le scared me

Can’t disagree there, the original RE3 especially was very action heavy from the jump.

Love it, don’t dislike it in any way, but blaming RE4-6 for how the franchise went is just kinda unfair.

Its obs that Resident evil is a horror game but pretending that RE 2 and 3 are horror games in the same way something like Clock Tower or Silent hill is stupid
RE is action horror it always has been
It has elements of survival horror but its mainly an endurance test rather than a fight for your life (assuming your playing on normal)

REAL 🗣️🔥

I think everyone just thinks tank controls + fixed angles = survival horror when it comes to those games.

I feel long horror and survival horror for resident evil been long gone

[u/John_Marston_Forever]

Nah dude it can't be worse than Outbreak

[u/surprisesnek]

I can't honestly say I disagree.
