I do realize the stupidity of some gamers today. That's why I pointed the whole thing out, because of how ridiculous it is. To further emphasize the fact that these people don't even know what they want is their whining on how RE needs to be like TLoU while it, in fact, already is in its own way.

On another note, I highly disagree on the original RE games being shit. Sure, I truly like the way the series is now, but I still find much of my gaming enjoyment coming from beating these old games again and again. The first three main titles in the series are some of my favorite games of all time in the same way RE5 and Dead Aim are. I guess I should point out that those games aren't in my top lists because of nostalgia, I never even played RE1 (which has gotten an awesometastic remake) when I was a kid. They're just something different, interesting and provide a challenge that is missing from most games nowadays. Out of the games from that era you mentioned, I do have FFVII and it's in my top lists too.

The remakes of the original Resident Evil series are great and still worth playing(On the GameCube). But the originals on PS1 are so laughably bad it's almost depressing to think these were good in the first(again in my opinion). Which to me, means no excuse. As I said before, games around that era of gaming are still playable today regardless of hardware/software limitations but the original RE series aren't. I can still play Silent Hill 1 and feel deeply connected to that game.
With RE1 on the other hand, trying to fight slow moving enemies off-screen with no aim assist and talking about Jill Sandwiches isn't a good thing.

I think the last important point to note is the age at which we played those games. When I was younger RE2 was scary hell. But as you grow older those games aren't scary anymore because of how you've matured, which is why games today have to be a different kind of scary. Give an 8 year old RE6 and see what the results are, but to us, of course it'll seem like RE6 has lost it's way. We've matured past those types of "scares" while other games like Dead Space and Amnesia have it suited for our age.
