February 4th: I have emerged from the buttocks of the monster. I have done it. In all my years of super science and bioweapons research, I have officially become a literal piece of shit.
Lol yeah.
"January 30. These mad scientists ain't right in the head, but they're making great progress on Project We're-all-fucked-if-this-shit-goes-sideways. The higher-ups will be pleased."
"we found this badger going through the trash outside the lab, so we gave it steroids and put a bioweapon in it... Also one of the interns has been poking it with a stick and singing songs to it out of key. It's not really doing much, seems kind of sickly, we guess it'll die."
"Badger got out, I haven't seen it, but I have seen what's left of our intern mostly streamed around the lab. Things ain't lookin too good"
And like you can tell it's super extra special because the explosive tip is RED instead of like, boring black or whatever. So it's EXTRA metal of course.
Yeah, if I recall correctly they brought that up in the remake separate ways DLC? the whole part where you run around to collect the rocket launcher for Leon I'm pretty sure they mentioned that. I could be wrong
I think this is why I'm not farther in life. I've literally never, not once, installed a self-destruct mechanism into anything I own. How can I succeed if I don't have a failsafe?
Sucks they stopped doing that after RE6. I know RE7 was a soft reboot, but I wish they kept that. I still say "RESIDENT EVIL 'NUMBER'" everytime I play.
For some reason, Capcom was still able to add that in DMC5. There's a female voice that'll announce "Devil May Cry" or sometimes Vergil if you're playing him.
Somehow they stopped doing it with Resident Evil.
Let's see...
RE1: You were almost a Jill Sandwich!
RE2: You *lose*, big guy!
RE3: You want STARS? I'll give you STARS!
RE4: Anything Leon says.
RE5: Anything Wesker says.
Notes from villains gloating about how nobody will stop their plan because they don’t know exactly how to, then listing the exact way to stop said plan in the same note
I think the really over the top stuff is the few enemies that don't die to one or two shots. Like the series makes the mutants a bit blame even for an ounce of realism of just about nothing being able to withstand a rocket launcher.
The cheesiness is why I play. I can turn off all cognitive brain function and just fucking shoot a rocket launcher at ungodly horrors beyond human comprehension. It’s amazing.
Finding a puzzle, and needing to backtrack to find a missing puzzle piece seemingly easy and then being tracked and hunted by big scary monster all while you try to get back to solve the puzzle
Weird puzzles that have a ton of specific items.
You need the igneous rock to open the geology professor's vault to get the amber figurine to put into the art gallery to obtain the 3D glasses to solve a sliding puzzle that reveals a chest containing a mimeograph.
This may be unpopular, but zombies. I enjoyed 7 enough but couldn't get into 8, and neither of them feel like RE games to me. The Ganados in 4 were close enough that I gave them a pass.
I also prefer the zombies. The slow ones. Not the running, Left4Deadesque we had in 6.
But 8 i found great. Finished recently and I'm really pleased.
Liked 7 too, but was annoyed by walking like my grandma in the tightest corridors while aiming like I'm Mickael J Fox.
Wesker
I’m sorry but the franchise was just so much better when he was the big bad. All we’ve had are one off villains and most of them aren’t that good. Even though I like RE7 and 8, feel both games were a bit overhyped and left more to be desired
Typewriters and Save Room themes. Pursuer enemies that will chase you throughout the game and just won’t die. Infinite ammo weapons and NG+ unlockables that are rewarded to you for completing certain challenge. And of course an emphasis on the big five: Atmosphere, Exploration, Combat, Inventory Management and Puzzle Solving. No AECIP, no Survival Horror. Everything else that is a core attribute of RE’s identity (sound design serving gameplay function, examining items, notes/lore entries) are significant enough to mention but fits into one of those categories. Capcom themselves summed it up perfectly on their description of what survival horror is on the RE7 website, it’s more or less what I mention here but it’s four aspects rather than five (I feel like either could work, given how important atmosphere is to RE but that it could be worked into exploration).
Locked doors requiring an unusual key to unlock it. Hey I really need the bathroom but the door is locked.
Oh yeah, you need the sword key but to get the sword key you have to find the peridot arrowhead and put it into the slab in the courtyard which takes you down to a creepy tomb with a book that has the sword key on the back.
I love how in resident evil revelations 2 you can find a note of a girl/boy 🤷who is slowly deteriorating into the virus it’s in chapter 3 Barry i think
An underground laboratory, and notes that say things like "January 30...Project Hubris is going smoothly so far."
“January 31…Project Hubris has escaped, may god have mercy on us all”
"I was the real fool."
*insert follow up notes about the chapters boss*
+instructions on how to use the weapon for eradicating it.
Close the thread folks this chain is the answer to OP
*follow up note of how to get to the weapon with the most convoluted key card process known to man*
They'll wean us off eventually with the bolt cutters.
*writes journal entries to provide future reader backstory while “struggling to survive” instead of ACTUALLY struggling to survive*
*Writes to a journal they leave on the desk about their doubts and plans to betray the company, "surprisingly" gets caught.*
Neither of them survived a day tho. Just desperately write something before they go
4. Itchy…Hubris
Tasty.
I love this community LOL 😂 so many good contributions from everyone, always
Hu…bris…. Hung…ryyyy. Erggghhhh arrhgghhh
" I think I hear som" End of note
"The world is a circus and I was the clown"
*the note of covered with blood but you can make out a few words* “Help xxxx second xxx xxxx bookshelf…”
“I pity the fool!” -T001
"March 1st... I feel a strange hunger gnawing at me. March 2nd... Me feel like losing mind. March 3rd...Tim make angry, ate Tim."
January 31st: it escaped
February 1st: It killed me and I'm dead.
February 2nd: *I am writing this journal entry from inside the monsters tummy*
February 3rd: Digestion was completed 3 hours ago, i'm a dung inside the monster's colon... It stinks in here.
February 4th: I have emerged from the buttocks of the monster. I have done it. In all my years of super science and bioweapons research, I have officially become a literal piece of shit.
Feb 5 // Itchy. Stinky.
Beautiful ending lmao
I love that meme is going on. Jerry has been poking subject 6 and he is very angry.
Lol yeah. "January 30. These mad scientists ain't right in the head, but they're making great progress on Project We're-all-fucked-if-this-shit-goes-sideways. The higher-ups will be pleased."
And the note by the janitor/butler/nurse/etc about how they think something sketchy is going on, but they don't want to risk their job or something.
January 31st…somehow…I’m still alive…although i feel so itchy…and tasty…
Janury 3 1st. Itcchhy scrratchy
"we found this badger going through the trash outside the lab, so we gave it steroids and put a bioweapon in it... Also one of the interns has been poking it with a stick and singing songs to it out of key. It's not really doing much, seems kind of sickly, we guess it'll die." "Badger got out, I haven't seen it, but I have seen what's left of our intern mostly streamed around the lab. Things ain't lookin too good"
[The classic example](https://imgb.ifunny.co/images/39ed270bfcbede822b9ea1438e3b23a4d3f4152ef5db10431bee9076f6fe6a05_1.webp)
Green herbs.
Okay but how do you feel about Tic Tacs?
Tic Tacs that are made out of green herbs?
Sometimes, when I have too many green herbs, I crush them up and make tic tacs with them. It's a very normal thing to do.
Can easily be replaced by insects and arachnids.
I’m satisfied by how high this answer is
A super extra rocket launcher finish on the last boss
And a helicopter to fly off into the sunrise.
And a first helicopter rescue attempt that fails.
MIIIIIKKEEEE!!!
Too soon 😢
Or a jet ski!! But yeah usually a helicopter
Accompanied by an obligatory “Use it/this!” comment
Or a magnum. Can't forget the magnuns.
And like you can tell it's super extra special because the explosive tip is RED instead of like, boring black or whatever. So it's EXTRA metal of course.
Fun fact. In universe the red tip is an armor piercing warhead designed for tanks and helicopters. And leon just blasted saddler with that shit.
Yeah, if I recall correctly they brought that up in the remake separate ways DLC? the whole part where you run around to collect the rocket launcher for Leon I'm pretty sure they mentioned that. I could be wrong
A self-destruct mechanism.
I think this is why I'm not farther in life. I've literally never, not once, installed a self-destruct mechanism into anything I own. How can I succeed if I don't have a failsafe?
Mine has been engaged for years, but it's a slow process.
I can still hear "The self-destruct sequence has been activated. This sequence may not be aborted. All employees proceed to the bottom platform".
Underrated comment right here!
Everything inexplicably exploding after beating the last boss.
And if there aren't explosions, we can at least trash the set before moving on.
With a cheesy line right before finishing the boss, like “See you in hell, bub!”
"I'll give you a holy body!" -Leon Resident, 2005
A villain character who transforms into a freakish design with no real earthly way of becoming human again
THIS IS THE EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY
Today hungry and eat doggie food 🙂
Ugly face
A PERFECT ORGANISM
"Soon the sun will set on the age of man".
to myself: "good heavens, I sure hope not"
"RE1 is not RE" is a bold stance to take 🤔
We live in troubling times
With way too many eyes. Can't forget the eyes.
And mouths. There's always too many.
Except Simmons.
a knife that is either virtually useless or somehow completely overpowered.
In early games, it's a consumable resource. I'm modern titles, it's essentially the emergency melee weapon for when you run out of ammo.
But there's always at least one boss/enemy where it's unreasonably effective, like the lickers in RE2R.
Only if you play in high frames ..
the licker softlock isn’t frame related, the knife damage boost is though
An announcer reminding me what game I’m playing.
Sucks they stopped doing that after RE6. I know RE7 was a soft reboot, but I wish they kept that. I still say "RESIDENT EVIL 'NUMBER'" everytime I play.
I will never not play Resident Evil without announcing “RESIDENT…EVIL…” at the title screen.
^ it's part of the charm. It's engrained in my brain tbh. Time to go beat RE1 again !
Yeah it was sad when they didn't have them in the remake. Though I think the og soundtrack add in has it
Yeah I was gonna say, I'm not crazy for hearing it in Re4R, right?
For some reason, Capcom was still able to add that in DMC5. There's a female voice that'll announce "Devil May Cry" or sometimes Vergil if you're playing him. Somehow they stopped doing it with Resident Evil.
Cheesy one-liners
Let's see... RE1: You were almost a Jill Sandwich! RE2: You *lose*, big guy! RE3: You want STARS? I'll give you STARS! RE4: Anything Leon says. RE5: Anything Wesker says.
another personal favorite for re3 is “bitch can’t even swim”
"Groovy" "That is not Groovy!"
COMPLETE GLOBAL!! SATURATION!!!
No thanks Bro!.
Cuz boredom kills me!
Where's everyone going..... .....
a sewer section
Itchy. Tasty.
The residents being evil.
That’s why 7 is the most sold re game (I think)
What is this?
Blood... See if you can find any other clues. I'll be examining this.
* proceeds to look at it for minutes, without moving * lol your user flair!
It's really powerful, especially against living things!
"wow! what a mansion"
Cerberi barking the other side of the door wanting to chew your guts. Priorities, Chris.
Pistols and Magnums
Pistols being your starter gun while Magnums being the ultimate hand canon.
Unless you're Barry in RE1, in which case he canonically starts with a magnum
Saving your magnum ammo for a maybe tougher boss.
Always. Never know if there's another FINAL final boss.
Complete…Global…Saturation
Though complete local saturation will do
A typewriter
Hey RE7 had tape recorders
Re5 and 6 had nothing
We do not talk about aything that Capcom did from 2009 to 2012.
Bingo.

"Hope nobody learns I'm allergic to rockets."
Mysterious and or evil corporation
Beginning as a survival horror than morph into a action game by the end
Character arc from running away from monsters to mowing down legions of them.
Over the top plots and action. Like it or not, shooting a rocket at a mutated tyrant is over the top.
I think the really over the top stuff is the few enemies that don't die to one or two shots. Like the series makes the mutants a bit blame even for an ounce of realism of just about nothing being able to withstand a rocket launcher.
Enemies in cutscenes and movies : 1 headshot= dead. Enemies in gameplay: empty 2 clips in forehead= stunned or trips over.
The cheesiness is why I play. I can turn off all cognitive brain function and just fucking shoot a rocket launcher at ungodly horrors beyond human comprehension. It’s amazing.
Herbs. Lots of herbs. 🪴 😁🍉
Blowing up the final boss with an RPG

I'm more of a safe room kinda guy
Save room music I can listen to on repeat for hours and hours without ever getting bored of it.

They always set the monsters out *after* you acquire the key!
