The stupidity in this game was so bad, it made it funny. Where to begin...
Leon:
- Flipping the police car and having it blow up, only for the heroes to crawl out and be caught in a little arena of burning cars with an OPEN manhole cover in the middle, right before Hannigan says "I've got a new route, but you won't like it... it's UNDERGROUND!"
- Being on a bus, that loses control after hitting a zombie, skidding off into the woods, and ending up teetering over a cliff (as you do) before 100 zombies mystically appear (apparently when they're bored of eating flesh in the city, they like to take country walks) only to have a ten tonne lorry ram you HEAD FIRST for no explainable reason, sending bus plummetting 100 metres... but that's okay, because our heroes crawl out unscathed, look back, and see the driver barely crawling behind them, only to have the bus explode (just like the police car did), but this time consumes poor driver in the process... (were they even trying here... seriously.)
- Banging on the cathedral door, begging to come in while the refugees inside say "No, we are scared you might bring zombies in, so we'll ring the bells instead." Fighting off a hundred zombies, only to have refugees decide "Okay, they killed enough now, we'll let them in." Running through the door, which isn't even barred after you enter, and apparently the zombies get bored and go away!
- So yea, stuck in a church with a tonne of suspicious refugees, what do you do? Of course, you run around buggering about with a bunch of statues you shouldn't be touching, only to release a giant pustule zombie that proceeds to chain murder every refugee in the church, completely justifying their initial reasoning that you shouldn't have been let in. I felt like a real hero!
- Speaking of the pustule zombie... Loved the lurid change to the actual name to throw a tit in there for something that looks like a giant boob creature. Anyways, I've always questioned why it is that the viruses never seem to infect the heroes, but never before in an RE game have they thrown it so blatently in your face. Leon and Helena must have some sort of zombification immunisation gene, because god damn, this thing can literally cause instant zombification on exposure, and was farting up a storm... And the church wasn't bad enough apparently, because they did it again, in the confines of A PLANE, where the entire passengers and crew get converted and yet still they manage to escape turning thsmselves...
- Being on a minecart and missing the QTE to duck the board, only to have Leon stand up just in time to get hit in the face with the next board, only for him to stand up AGAIN just in time to get hit with a third board (this has got to have been intentional, right?) For gods sake man, stay down for your own welbeing...
...
You know what, I'm not even halfway through Leon's campaign and this is already an essay. By the time I reached Chris' campaign and was sat in a stationary jeep fighting four other jeeps and 10 or so Ja'vo, where no less than 3 had rocket launchers, and yet somehow they still couldn't seem to get the job done... I think I realised nothing can stop me anymore!
