) Well that and I'm anxious to see how the kids of Albert Wesker and William Birkin will be getting along, how they'll contribute to the fight against bio-terrorism. (But really, that's just a fancy way of saying I love the implied Leon-hate.) )
That's what I said. The series had its lows and downtime, but I never would categorize it as being "dead". That's all just a matter of opinion.
I think it looks pretty okay - better than 4 and 5 - even though the only part of the game I'm chomping at the bit to play is Jake's. (Because he's a total boss who apparently shares my dislike for Leon!
To be honest, despite my love for Chris, Jake and Sherry's scenario looks like the best part of the game and the only reason I'll more than likely be buying the title. (That and the fact that Story's been pushing trailers in my face since they started releasing them.
She thinks he's completely irrelevant to the series, am I right FloraWait, but why do you hate Leon? I like Leon, but that doesn't mean I don't like Chris. What's going on?

Ah KK, you do actually listen to me when I speak sometimes.She thinks he's completely irrelevant to the series, am I right Flora
Ada had a very good chance of being relevant, especially considering that little name-drop in RE...until she was sucked into Leon's web of irrelevancy. Now it's hard for her to even try and stand alone in the series as a character without him. (Which I suspect they're trying to rectify with her playing a bigger part in RE6 and what not...or maybe they're just trying to spread the heinous irrelevance to the other characters!Hmm...but why is he irrelevant? In that case wouldn't Ada Wong and Krauser be sort of irrelevant too since they're only around when Leon is? I don't see how he is irrelevant to the story. He became relevant when he got involved in the Raccoon City incident. All involved have some relevance because they're tied in one way or another.

Actually...Mr. X's mission was to extract the G-Virus sample and exterminate any surviving police officers...Mr. Kennedy fits the description of the latter...Ada had a very good chance of being relevant, especially considering that little name-drop in RE...until she was sucked into Leon's web of irrelevancy.

Leon is irrelevant because he never really fit into the storyline - not the canon storyline for RE2 anyway, and RE4 just kind of went off the map altogether. Birkin is after Claire and Sherry because he's looking for someone to implant an embryo in and Sherry's the most logical choice and he's not that far gone yet; but as seen in both scenarios, his survival instincts will make him try to make an embryo work in anyone. Mr. X is after Claire and Sherry because of the G-virus sample Sherry carries in her locket.
What I want someone to explain to me is why Mr. X is after Leon and Ada - because that is how the gods of canon say the story went. Neither one of them have a G-virus sample as Ada is simply looking for one but is not in possession of one. Birkin's scenario, as strange as it would be for him to not try and plant an embryo in the most logical candidate, could be interchangeable, but Mr. X is programmed with one purpose and that is to acquire a G-virus sample.
Claire and Sherry fit very easily into either scenario. Leon and Ada? Not so much. The end result left me, even as a little girl, wondering just why Leon's even there...?
And see this is part of the problem that I have with Leon's canon scenario being the Mr. X one: G-virus would be Umbrella's top priority, so why is Leon top priority over finding Sherry and her sample? I still don't see it adding up in a logical way.
Leon isn't a TOP priority, but if Mr. X runs into Leon on his quest for the G-Virus, he would not ignore him...And since Claire/Sherry are always in relatively the same general area as Leon, this isn't a very far fetched explanation...
I just miss the old days when RE scared the crap out of people and everyone loved it, now it seems to have a very mixed fan-base and it's made for slightly muddled games as devs try to please everyone.
Leon sees Sherry...once I believe before the end of the game where Claire asks him to go back to the office and get her, and I can't say for sure - it's been a while - but you don't meet Mr. X in that area and he hardly ever sees Claire after the beginning of the game; your theory is not adding up for me. And the fact that Leon's B scenario is canon makes it look like killing Leon comes before finding Sherry and the G-virus, which I'll never believe is logical. If the G-virus was the top priority, wouldn't Claire's B be canon instead?
LOL
