The beginning of the end...

Resident Evil is too big for it's shadow. Success is a motherfucker. It can take a series that had better gameplay than plot and turn it into a 3D Hollywood snorefest. In the movies defense, I've only seen the first 10 minutes of the first Resident Evil movie so there's a possibility they could be good. I doubt it though.

The game has some kinks that need to be worked out. Resident Evil 5 is successful, but that could easily change for the sequel. If Resident Evil 6 is another action adventure game with a weak plot then I think it won't do as well. Wesker feels more like an annoying little brother than a villan, and Chris is so clueless it's sad. I saw the climax coming from a mile away. Before it was easier to forgive the plot because the gameplay was the shit, but now it feels uninspired. I'm not a fan of more of the same. I need some more flavor in my coffee if I'm going to drink it.
