There was a story?

Coulda fooled me, because I had no idea what was going on. And I've played the previous 4 games before this. Maybe I just wasn't playing close enough attention, but...Also, I don't know how much you've played of it, but that Boulder scene pretty much ruined any credibility that game could have had.

HERE IT IS, FOR ANYONE WONDERING:

I...just...whyyyyyy.

If this was some Jojo, ZA. WARUDO, WRYYYYYY shit, then fine, I'd let it slide. But it took itself too seriously and then got silly.

I meant offensive from a gameplay standpoint, not in a serious way, heh.

i feel like re4 did a similar thing but it seemed much more self-aware in its goofiness. i think if re5 maintained re4 level goofy at least from the first quarter onward i would've appreciated it a lot more.

Exactly, it was goofy in a "yeah, we know this is campy as hell" sort of way that I can appreciate. It felt like RE5 wasn't in on the joke. Nobody likes the guy that isn't in on the joke!
