Shortly into Resident Evil 4, I found the enemies creepy and sort of menacing, but any actual terror was mitigated by a couple facts. First, while the villagers do have a tendency to pop up behind you, they walk like they're wading through a vat of maple syrup. Second, Leon Kennedy has seemingly built up a tolerance to getting stabbed by pitchforks and hand axes.

Just a little to the lef... no... wait... you got it.
In a series full of freakout moments, this is the one that sticks with me.
Minutes of RE I've played, across the series: zero.
ReplyDeleteTimes I've meant to fix this: many.
I did see a guy beat RE2 in about three and a half hours, though. He tricked me into thinking it was easy, and not so frightening. Then I saw first-timers playing, and man, that was fun.
