Pull my hair out in delight (GAME SPOILER ALERT)

Resident Evil is a name that is already considered an institution in the world of console gaming. Anybody who dares disagree with this statement can take 10 steps to the left of the lunar sea of tranquility

Wait, wait - Resident Evil 4 broke every possible convention about the series, including such particular favourites as prerendered graphics with creepy camera angles, story that isn't total self-ironic Hollywood cheese (yes, I'm ignoring Code X Veronica. I'm still in denial over that one), having viral zombies and being scary - and you're remarking that the game defies formula by having the dirt-easy, semi-playable escape sequence at the end? o_O Now, of course, RE4 is a totally fantastic game, but you'd think one might have noticed it's not exactly a conventional RE game a little earlier, eh? I mean, it stole a lot from MGS stuff way earlier, with the radio and whatnot.

Bwahaha! I mentioned Ingrid Hunnigan taking off her glasses while neglecting that the radio thing is kind of a rip from MGS. Talk about missing the mountain for the trees :D

I still like Mei Lin better.

That said, I didn't mind the changes. I thought Capcom probably decided to grow out of prerendering and zombies. While I do miss the zombies (a lot), I thought there was also something scary about gene-infected townspeople that spoke Postuguese and grew mutated squid after their heads' been blown off.
