I remember that I shit my pants when I played Resident Evil. That was some intense shit! The second part also scared me to hell (anyone remember those hands coming out of the windows?!). The third part became a little bit more action loaded, but I absolutely loved it. You still had Nemesis which gave you real scares every now and then and you had a motherfucker of a difficulty if you played directly on hard. I squeezed out every last bit of that game, played through 13 times, finished all bonus missions with the best rating and so on. It is by far my favourite of the series.
It all changed with part 4. Everyone loved it, but I just didn't get warm with it. The controls felt so clunky and also, it just didn't feel like a Resident Evil title. I'm sorry, I just don't like it. Same with part 5 which I just played, because it was free on PS+. I never played part 6. Or Revelations. Or anything else newer.
I did play and enjoy Code Veronica, Resident Evil 0 and maybe some other spinoffs I don't remember right now. But all in all, to me personally, the series has just gone the wrong way. I don't feel like in a horror game, I feel like it's Call of Resident Evil. Shooting, shooting and more shooting. Boring.
Then again, I was like 12 when I played the first one. So maybe it wasn't horror at all and I was just scared because I was so young. Maybe children of today are scared when playing Resident Evil 6. I don't know. All I know is that to me, the series is dead.
