I used to think comments like that were from younger people, who can't fully remember 10 years ago because they were in elementary school or something. Or when you're young, 5 years ago feels like an eternity. But I'm beginning to think people are being purposely deceptive or unaware of how overwhelmingly under informed they are. Or just really distorted memories, because the thing discussed happened when they were children???

But wow. Go look up why people started calling Capcom "crapcom" and when they started calling Capcom "capgod" again.

"This is just objectively false.

It IS closer to the original formula than 5, a return to survival horror, resource management, puzzles, etc. it’s just in first person instead of having fixed camera angles.

“In terms of story it was cringe.”

No RE game has a story above a 7/10.

“It didn’t save Resident Evil because RE6 sold well”

It absolutely did. RE6 sold well off the back of 4 and 5 and was a MASSIVE critical failure amongst fans and critics alike, killing the series for 6 years. RE7’s success is the entire reason RE has come back as strongly as it did.

“RE is better with characters we know and love.”

This series has been going on for three decades now, we gotta stop limiting RE to only the characters we have. I’m not the biggest fan of Ethan, he’s kinda white bread. But we need to allow Capcom to introduce new characters an elements into the story.
