I heard bad things about Umbrella Chronicles so I never bothered with it but serious question, is it worse than Gaiden?

Umbrella Chronicles is surprisingly good for what it is.

Umbrella Corps is legitimately one if the worst games ever produced by a AAA company.

(Gaiden has some so bad it's good merit, I used to speedrun it)

Did a quick search and I had no idea Umbrella Corps existed and just assumed it was the same thing as Chronicles. And I thought I was a well informed gamer.

While I don't think RE5 is better than 4 it is still a top 5 RE game for me.

Umbrella Corps is the worst game I ever played bar none.

ORC has a lot of surprisingly cool fan service (the part where you defeat all the T-103s at the Dead Factory on the Spec Ops side which leads to the aftermath in RE3 is amazing) but in general feels clunky and enemies are annoyingly tanky.

I enjoy the Chronicles rail shooters, I like the lore they add and the cutscenes in Darkside Chronicles always stood out to me too, and I freakin' love Claire's personality and designs in that game.

RE6 really started to click for me once I re-bought it on Xbox One and started to get into its Mercs. The mechanics in the game shine the best here; quickshots, sliding, melee, you can absolutely do the coolest shit in this game and it's such a blast. Every character even feels distinct in their playstyle which opens a ton of room for experimentation. Melee only as Jake in No Mercy Mercs is quite the thrill-ride in particular. Enemy variety is really high too and requires a lot of changes in strategy moment to moment. Yeah there's a ton of tacked on shit in the campaign, but the game can be legitimately fun at points and I could go on but I'll stop here.

6 is a bad Resident Evil game but I didn't hate my time playing it. The plot and characters suck, the action is worse than 5, the campaign drags on and there's no horror at all, but like... it plays ok? I wouldn't call it an atrocious game, there are AAA releases that are much worse. Though it is my least fav RE, maybe tied with 0. (Haven't played the garbage spinoffs everyone hates)

But then I'm one of the few who doesn't rate 4 nearly as high as everyone else, probably because I played it so many years later and after so many others that followed in its footsteps.

6 is a mess and I don't ever want RE going in that direction again... but it's actually pretty damn fun to play! The mechanics are tight and it actually works pretty well as a third person shooter/action game with really fun stuff like quickshots, melee counters, slide turns and Jake's melee system. I may not remember almost anything about Helena's personality but I definitely remember playing her like a WWE fighter and busting out a fucking Hurricanrana on zombies at every opportunity.

To add, I've been warned to avoid the front page of twitch and YouTube because the streaming embargo is over so there are just spoilers everywhere. I didn't get this far to get railroaded ten hours out.

Launch trailers are always the worst, it's not just a Capcom thing. They almost universally just seem to cram in anything remotely interesting about the game as a last push for sales, actual experience be damned. Though one of the absolute worst offenders recently was Vergil in the DMC5 launch trailer. Like holy shit guys.

Admittedly, but since I'm streaming Village tomorrow, I thought I could at least play some RE:Verse to scratch the itch a little, so it was a bit disappointing, especially since it still downloaded to my Xbox alongside Village.

6 was silly and a slog but had some good parts. Didn't despise it but wasn't good.

5 was disappointingly short and lacked 4's charm, and the co-op thing was a bad call imo; but Wesker saved it a little bit because it was just so hilarious.

7 better than either by a distance. Might pick up 8 this week, haven't played a new game for like months.

Ok game is really good and all so far but why do I get the feeling that they made the atmosphere and locations of the game (and even some mechanics, you know what I'm talking about if you are playing it right now) like this so that it is easier for them to make RE4 Remake sooner than later since the template is all in place.

Loving it so far, but is there any way to stop the Skip/Photo Mode prompt from popping up during cutscenes? It even shows up constantly when looking around in a scene that allows it and it's really immersion breaking.
