Playing Last of Us I realize that this damn game gets praised for pretty much every single thing people tend to complain about in RE games. Sure, the exection is completely different, but a lot of these oh-so-praised features are hated in RE games. Yet, I have actually seen people wondering why RE doesn't have features like this. WTF people?!

You have the reason right in your post. The execution is completely different. I don't really think any gameplay elements are inherently evil, just commonly implemented poorly. The Last of Us got right what RE got wrong. Which, depending on how you look at it, is a lot.

I'm not saying either of the games would have gotten it wrong. It's just that Last of Us gets all this praise while RE (all of which I think are fantastic games) get crap thrown on it because of their predecessors, not because they would be exceptionally bad games. Last of Us does not have this problem since it's only that one game. Yet, both games have all these similar proerties and people are still telling RE should do the same. Why the F would they do that since it would end up not fixing anything people want to be fixed?

I don't think you realise the stupidity of gamers these days.

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 are shit. Simple. They suck and haven't aged well. Terrible voice acting, awful controls, a horrid camera angle, a pointlessly tedious save system and a horrible-to-navigate inventory. Those games just suck. There is no holds barred on this. Games that also came out the same time are: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7 and THOSE aren't plagued with some of the problems that are present in the original RE 1, 2 and 3.

OK fine, so Capcom address these issues. In RE4: they give you a better inventory to navigate and manage, a camera angle that had a huge impact on gaming, an improvement on enemy design and pushed the series forward.
(RE5 was the same with Co-op and going back to the main Wesker story/not him working behind the scenes)

Everyone still complaining the series isn't scary and that you still can't move.
RE6 had a stronger emphasis on story and gave you full freedom to move and shoot, dodge etc and now everyone says it sucks. Gamers are dolts who don't know what they want. Because when they're given what they want, they bitch and bandwagon saying how games like RE6 is bad despite being built from player feedback and how TLoU is the same but gets away with it.
