I hope so, as a self-professed Resident Evil fanboy, even I had a very hard time sitting through the game. Leon's campaign was the only redeeming quality, and I played that scenario first, because I knew it would be good, of which I was partially disappointed. Playing the other scenarios, however, bordered on painful. Especially Chris' "Gears of Evil" campaign. I'm just glad I played as Piers, to help me forget that it was an RE game. Ada wasn't bad, but only because you got to play it solo.
Personally, what made RE so good for me was the non-linear exploration of the mansions and the interconnectedness of the rooms. I mean, how many different ways could you go to get to a different room, with their own creepy crawlies inside and not knowing whether or not what was in that room was going to kill you? it made the whole survival aspect more real, and just walking into a whole room of zombies or mutant dogs while your heart monitor ominously flashes a deep red makes me nervous. Bring that fear back!
I have been gaming since I was 5, and in my 20+ years of gaming I have yet to see a violent crime that involved videogames as the primary, or even secondary agent of said crime. This gets tacked on to every convo about gun violence, especially when the politician is in the pocket of the NRA. Sure, there may be plenty of gun laws, but have you seen how many are enforced, or the relative impotence of the ATF, the body supposed to be looking out for regulation of firearms? Talk about what we're going to do about the guns that are so easily accessible, or the inability for any politician to even have a serious convo about gun policy, or the culture of making gun ownership "cool" or "necessary".
Who really doesn`t have credibility is a guy who`s career has circled around trying to give videogames a bad rap seemingly since entering office. If he wants to seem credible, howabout not focusing exclusively on games as the reason for people shooting up schools and families.
