Yeah. Jill being absent for years does suck. I absolutely hate her redesign in the RE3 remake, by the way. And that game in general is just ass. I really don't get how hard it was to put Barry in the ending. Hell, even get Troy Baker to play him. Who cares? But Barry not showing up was dumb, because the canon ending was that he came to rescue Jill, as well as Carlos too. This has basically always been the true ending, despite there being that other ending. Without his help, Jill wouldn't have gotten out of Raccoon City before it was destroyed.
I feel like Capcom just wet the bed with these remakes. 2 and 3. I don't get how a lot of folk praise 2, but hate on 3. When really, both of those remakes are flawed in many ways. Yet if you go on any major gaming reviews site, the remake of 2 is said to be a classic. I don't think it can lace up the boots of the original RE2, but I guess it's still pretty good to a degree.
Anyway, I don't give a crap about the overall lore any longer, since Capcom themselves don't care enough about it either. The RE4 remake does look stunning, though. However, that's a remake once again, as opposed to receiving some new game. When it comes to new storylines, how about resolving some of the old ones? You know? There's a lot of stuff they never get back to even really properly focusing on. So I mean, what's the point in being a fan who cares about the plot? They don't even try to make it make any actual sense.
And yes. I guess it's dumb to care about 'B' movie type bull crap, but it's what a fan does, I suppose.
