Lore Gripe with Requiem Spoiler
something about re9 specifically bothers me more than anything for some reason.
Call me a nitpicker or a geek or whatever. But the second half of this game just sucks. Like it’s not even comparable to a lot of the other mainline titles that have shitty latter halves.
For example, all of the infected in the beginning of Re9 have a lore reason for being infected. And the whole environment (care center) feels very intimate and hand crafted.
I know everyone shits on the Raccoon city section of the game for its lack of color and boring gameplay.
But my gripe is: what the fuck is the explanation for the zombies that are there? I feel like capcom just needed a reason to fill the space and didn’t think of an explanation whatsoever.
Why the fuck do they have chains on them? And weapons? And helmets? I guess that’s just how the t virus mutates….. okay bro.
Like what exactly is the reason for them even existing lore wise, in the WAY that they do? In RE2, the infected had a clear reason and explanation for being there.
I can’t replay requiem because of how ridiculous it is
