Ah, hell, lets just list cool things in the game.
  • Umbrella is defeated by the government just freezing their assets, causing their stock prices to plummet, and thats the epic conclusion to their plot.
  • The laser hallway is the only good reference to the Resident Evil movies ever.
  • Ashley doesnt drop down ladders like all other playable characters; she only climbs down them because shes not an action hero.
  • You can walk onto the balcony and sit in the chair where Salazar and Saddler give speeches.
  • Ashley pumps her fist when you kill a normal enemy.
  • The section where you destroy a boulder with dynamite can be skipped if you use a rocket launcher on it.
  • They actually made a unique final boss for Adas section, even if Saddlers human form is kind of lame to fight, its still impressive that they even bothered.
  • The regenerators are just a cool idea.
  • Saddler keeps making references to Americans, complaining about their movies, and then turns into a monster at the end of an American movie.
  • Theres just a straight-up Loony Toons trapdoor.
  • Saddler has three different death animations depending on if you defeat him with Adas rocket launcher, a normal rocket launcher, or just shoot him a lot.
  • You never find out what the deal is with that bag in the dumpster in the prison.

I mean, I should be completely fair and list some bad things in the game. I hate the adaptive difficulty; I would have much preferred a standard Easy/Normal/Hard mode. The game is very weak when it comes to unlockable costumes; Leon and Ashley only have two each, all of which are basically just random stuff except for Leons RE2 uniform. The QTEs are awful, of course. Theres one where you have to mash X after the minecart ride, and if you fail, you have to spend another five minutes redoing the entire ride. And a lot of the weapons are of dubious value. I dont really know if the developers realized that by the time you get the fully-upgraded Broken Butterfly, the only thing left that you can use it on is the final boss. I dont know if this technically counts as an RE4 flaw specifically, but the achievements on Steam are really pathetic. There are only twelve, and theyre all the most basic finish chapter 3-type stuff possible. Its very strange, because the other ported REs all have long lists of achievements, but the most popular one has the most cursory list possible? Very odd, I dont know whats the motive here.

I dont really know how to close out this write-up about Resident Evil 4, which is a problem, since its the last write-up in the topic. I guess I could just quote things randomly from the game.

Saddler, youre small-time.

Meeeeeestaaaaaaah Kennedeeeeeeee
