A LITTLE BREAK
I was lying... I'm gonna keep Resident Evil 4 for last, instead let's take a break from the main series with Umbrella Chronicles. I promise it's not gonna take long.
WARNING: SPOILERS!
RESIDENT EVIL: THE UMBRELLA CHRONICLES
or "the Self Destruct Sequence has been activated" for the last time...hopefully not, I loved that metallic voice...
or "the anti-Wesker conspiracy"
As you probably know it's a lazy patchwork done by those guys at Capcom. Not that I didn't enjoy shooting those nice zombies in the head, of course i did, but I found the new part of the story a little tasteless. Since probably there are still many people who haven't played it yet, I'm not going to write the plot here (well, to be honest there isn't much of a plot to tell but still...)
I think it would be of absolutely no use to re-analyze the old games so I'll skip directly to the Siberian part, or to be exact, to Wesker's two final episodes.
First of all, why on earth did he unleash the T-virus in the facility seeing as all the creatures would attack him? How do I know it was his fault? Watch the opening scene carefully and you'll notice. He claims to be smart but as far as I know having hordes of zombies against you isn't the best situation you'd want to deal with, not to talk about all the other random monsters...
Let's give a look at Wesker's weapon... is it a water gun? I found quite amusing the fact that his silenced gun (what did he need a silencer for? I know it looks cool but...) is not half as powerful as Jill's or Billy's... "Out of my way, now!" squirt squirt squirt...(I laughed like an idiot and was killed at once by a licker).
Another thing that really bugged me a lot was Wesker's strength: he isn't even slightly stronger than the other characters! Geez, that isn't fair! See why I believe there's an anti-Wesker conspiracy?
Ok, but they still wanted to grant him some superhuman ability: he jumps just like a grass hopper. How cute! He's like Pinocchio's talking cricket's evil relative, with black shades etc.
Now I really need to add an extra warning, both for spoilers but mainly for obscene language.
The very final fight: Wesker VS...a giant dick. I was utterly shocked by Sergei's mutation 'cause honestly that wasn't your usual deformed arm, it looked more like a clawed cock to me! They wanted me to fight against this naked maniac chasing me with his overgrown penis... You tell me if that wasn't obscene!
And if that wasn't enough, what was Sergei's best weapon? Potatoes!! And they really wanted me to believe that those potatoes would injure my supehuman villain? They'd hurt him more with a bunch of bullshit...
Oh well, I have no words left... As promised it was short, but that was something I really had to say.
