168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil is one of the longest-running continuous storylines in video game history. For nearly 26 years. there have been dozens of games that all interconnect in ജsome way or another. Is it possible for so many projects with different writers and creative directors to all come together as one cohesive story? Not quite.
While Resident Evil has done a great job reeling in some of the wild story threads from games like 5 and 6 with the more🃏 recent entries, there are still a decent number of plot holes to leave you scratching your head.
10 💞 Everybo♍dy Hurts (Except The Protagonists)
This is a common criticism of Resident Evil, and of playable protagonists in zombie games in general. In Resident Evil 2, the T-virus is wildly infectious and converts nearly every living creature in Raccoon City overnight. But are Leon or Claire affected at all despite coming into contact with infected creatures literally all the time? No. The same can be said for Chris Redfield and most other characters you play as throughout the series (Ethan Winters gets a pass for being an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:iconic undead guy). There are also other ridiculous moments, like Chris Redfield꧒ infamously punching a boulder, that make for protagonists far sturdier than they maybe should be in a horror game.
9 Albert 🅷Weskerꦺ, Man Of Confusing Motivations
For a time, Albert Wesker was the myste💙rious and dauntingly foreboding man it felt like the franchise was building up as its primary boss. Almost every game past Resident Evil 1 seemed intent on building up just how much of a threat Wesker truly was, and how many of the transpiring events could be directly linked back to his own doing.
For an antagonist that large, spanning multiple games, you'd think there should be an emphasis on building up who Wesker is and why he's so hellbent on power and destruction. But there's not. The fact that he was raised in a lab is used as an easy "childhood trauma" origin, but it's hardly explored outside of that, and he ends up feeling like a cartoon villain by the end.
8 💞 RE4: A One-Man Mission?
The setup to the original secluded village horror game, Resident Evil 4, is that Leon Kennedy goes into rural Spain alone in an attempt to rescue the US president's abducted daughter. Every criticism of that setup that immediately springs to mind is not a new one, but it's certainly still valid. There's just no reality where a family member of the President of the United States is kidnapped on foreign soil and multiple special forces units aren't dispatched immediately. Even though Leon is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the greatest zombie survivors, there was no reason for him to be appro෴aching that mission alone.
7 Wesker Wants To Kill Redfield (Except For When He Doesn't)
Throughout Albert Wesker's tenure as primary villain of the RE series, he and Chris Redfield have a particularly strong animosity towards each other. They come to blows multiple times and Redfield always manages to slip away. Except for the time in RE5 when he doesn't and Wesker still doesn't kill him because for some reason he's not in the mood. This is the kind of writing that makes people compare RE6 more to a Fast & Furious movie than to the Resident Evil series.
6 RE6:൲ Carl✅a Radames Makes No Sense
At this point in the list, let's take a long look at the nonsense that is Resident Evil 6. It's necessary for this game to take up such a huge chunk of this list because the vast majority of the series' plot holes stem from this absolutely over-the-top entry in the franchise. Starting with Carla Radames, the woman who was somehow transformed into looking like a different woman (Ada Wong) using a virus that was never possible to use for this purpose in the past. Or in the future, for that matter, ever again. The result of the torturous experiments Carla had to endure is her wanting to... end all life on the planet? Seems like an overreaction.
5 🌠🌼 RE6: Jake Muller Makes No Sense
Next on the tour through the strange plot of Resident Evil 6 is Jake Muller, one of the game's primary protagonists and also Albert Wesker's secret son we never knew about. The fact that Wesker fathered an illegitimate child hidden away from the audience until after his death is such a soap-opera-level plotline that it hurts. On top of that, it brings into question Jake's biology. We know Wesker needed a special serum called PG67A/W to keep the virus inside of him in check after being infected. We also know that Jake inherited this virus from his father, which is why he's immune to infection from other progenitor strains. But Jake doesn't inherit the need for PG67A/W like his dad? It's either convenient or overlooked.
4 RE6: Redfield's Amnesia Makes No Sense
In the first half of Resident Evil 6, Chris Redfield is nearly killed by former members of his squad who were infected and turned into monsters by the aforementioned Carla Rad𒀰ames. The aftermath of t🌼he incident is that Chris is left with amnesia.
The purpose this serves in the overarching story is nothing. It serves absolutely no purpose. And it's like the writers knew this, as well, because at a certain point he just gets his memory back. No particularly meaningful catalyst. It's just back and then we get to pretend that storyline never happened.
3 RE6: Leon And Helena's Fake Deaths Make No Sense
One last stop on the nonsensical Resident Evil 6 train, and then we can move on. In Resident Evil 6, Leon and his partner for that game Helena are framed for a major catastrophe that transpires earlier in the game. While that's a potentially interesting, if not clichéd, premise, the game needs Leon and Helena to be in China doing a different storyline. So they simply fake their own deaths and then that framing storyline is dropped completely without another thought put into it. On top of the existence of this storyline being pointless, isn't faking their own deaths pointless as well? Leon is a government-trained special forces unit who clearly knows how to move undetected, hence why he's able to enlist someone to fake his death and charter him a flight to China.
2 Unknown In The Eyes♎ Of The Public ꦍ
Despite Resident Evil's story spanning dozens of games and two and a half decades, we've never gotten much of a peek into how the outside world views the events of the games. There are always attempts at coverups. The plot to many of the games typically involves someone trying to cover something up. And we learn in RE4 that the Umbrella Corporation's doings from the first three games were mostly made public. But, it seems like the presence of many biological monsters should still be more of present public concern. How in the 21st century can an entire village (like in RE8) be overrun with zombie Lycans and a fetus that swallows people whole without anyone finding out?
1 🎐 Light A Candle For The Abandoned Characters
At the end of RE8, there's a massive time jump as we see Rose Winters all grown up and being prepped for a future installment of the franchise. It makes sense that the series departed from the past a bit, seeing how it majorly lost focus with RE5 and RE6. But, that doesn't mean the fans don't want to see meaningful resolutions to many of the legacy character's stories. It's been years now since we got an update on the whereabouts of Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Sheva Alomar, and several others. To see the series move on and forget about these characters would be a massive hole in storytelling that few diehard fans would forget.
