Man travels to louisiana to rescue long lost wife without telling anybody or bringing any kind of self defense or backup, enters an obviously fucked up house, gets abused by said wife who told him he never should have come, and continues chasing after her until he gets killed by Jack. He then is regrown into a molded and what follows is a B-movie revenge story as he walks around THEIR house, killing them off 1 by 1 without a lick of fear, doing crazy antics like ramming the dad with a car or getting into a chainsaw duel with him, spraying the mom with a flamethrower, chasing her around a greenhouse, and scaring poor Lucas out of the game. Then he stabs a little girl with a vial and guns her down, completing his murder-revenge story as he has come back from the grave to finish them off.

Capcom determines what is and isn't RE and these are. Hell they're the most RE the series has been since RE4.

So, that's the plot of RE7 in a nutshell? Cool, then I don't need to play it before 8. Also, the protagonist died and is a mold clone now? WTF?

Yeah Resident Evil being campy nonsense has been there since the first game. Even the plot twist there is nonsensical if you give it any critical thought.

At least this molded twist explains why Ethan could survive his leg being cut off and easily re-attached in RE7 so it's not completely out of nowhere. Although I don't really know why this context really changes anything about him.

Considering C virus was the most advanced at the time I could believe what tranformations it caused. Sherry being able to do what she does isn't nearly as out there as what Ethan can do or his story in general. The Ada or Carla? stuff in RE6 was cringe, but that isn't as much her fault as the story writers. Also RE8 copied Carla's BOW wall thing.

Wesker is bullshit and I'm not giving him a pass, but even that isn't as off the deep end as the shit in RE7 and RE8.

Its more off the deep end. Fucking Neo/Agent Smith powers is less insane then a mold that can resurrect you? Every virus in RE can resurrect you and give you healing powers. See Sherry. As I said its mental gymnastics just so you can hate on 7 and 8 for doing shit the series has always done.

I would say Simmons in RE6 is the most silly the series has gotten.

Being able to turn into a giant dog, T-rex and 100+ foot tall spider and back to human at will is pretty fucking wacky. Spontaneous mass generation has always been an RE thing, but nothing even close to that.

I don't know about that....Ethan turning out to be a mold zombie, who goes on to later fuck his wife, doesn't make her ill or kill her, but instead impregnates her with a perfectly healthy mold baby with his mold semen, has his heart ripped out, doesn't die for fuck all if I know reason, and still survives to finish things with Miranda. And that isn't nearly everything wrong with RE8.

Love how you ignored the dog to T-Rex to fly bit as well as everything else weve said.

He also transforms into his forms seemingly at will which is insane.

It doesn't seem like Simmons could easily switch forms on the fly either. He could only switch forms in response to physical and psychological trauma. Basically similar to G. C virus was also much more advanced than previous virus in the series.

Not really. I had a opinion RE7 and RE8 fanboys didn't agree with. I know I'm not alone in feeling the way I do as a lot of other fans of older RE games hate the direction RE7 and RE8's stories have gone in and that's all that matters to me.

Wesker doesn't actually teleport despite it looking like he does and as for Chris and the boulder that's rather tame considering almost all RE protagonists have done some sort of unusual superhuman feat despite it being inconsistent with their actual in universe power level. The real question that should come up with Chris and boulder is how that shit could even have a chance of happening considering Chris, Sheva and Wesker were in a volcanic area with fucking magma. They should have all been set ablaze and should have died as they wouldn't have been able to even breathe.

Just seems a bit too out there IMO. RE5 was shit for the most part though. During that part in the crater with Chris telling Sheva to literally "Shoot through me!" while clinging to a infected Uroboros Wesker with that Uroboros shit being known to infect and kill on physical contact is peak level stupidity.
