Topic	Anagram ranks and discusses the Resident Evil series with too-long writeups
Anagram 08/09/20 12:09:03 PM #12:	LinkMarioSamus posted... I want to ask Anagram if he has seen any of the Alien films, since Resident Evil cribs quite a bit from them. Of course, I've seen them all. I associate that series more with Metroid than Resident Evil, though. pjbasis posted... I love CV but Steve is a series low point. I intentionally left him out of the writeup. Lightning Strikes posted... Youre spot on about 4 not being the shift away from horror. Both 3 and CV are action games. It's funny how every game except 0 and 7 has tried to make the series more action-y. Snake5555555555 posted... Total tag! I agree totally with the CV environments being bland, which I definitely accredit to being the first game in the series to use actual 3D backgrounds instead of pre-renders. Some areas still look nice though, especially the Ashford mansion which is a perfect Gothic-inspired design with an amazing centerpiece! CV is actually my favorite story of the series, while understanding the wackiness of it all. I just find the Ashford family story to be really dark and compelling, again in a Gothic, cursed history sort of way, which I enjoy and wish there was more of even! The gameplay is for sure tough though. Even as an RE pro I still struggle with this game TBH! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I just don't see "tragic, cursed bloodline" as an element that fits with "science gone amok." I think this series really struggles to work in all of its ideas for different types of horror and games, and I don't think it really succeeds most of the time, which makes it interesting to talk about. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
