I’m talking about Resident Evil 9 here so this is a spoiler warning
Ok so I was supposed to make this post the same day I recorded a file on my main, then I simply didn’t cuz I was too lazy to write.
But now it’s finally time to talk about RE9. Resident Evil games never beat th cardiophile allegations I swear.
First, I wanna talk about Mr. X returning and having a giant exposed heart, usual tyrant fashion. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t remember re2 ever actually having an animation of the heart beating, it just kind of glowed. Re1 remake had a tyrant with an animated heart + you could hear it audibly beating as you fought it. The animation here is so crazy with how hard it is beating, and Leon sinking his hatchet into it? God.
Another scene in the game that got me was finding artificial lungs and a heart for the body on the table. The design of the heart is so off putting to me and just eugh lol. Then, you have to kill the thing you brought back which I thought was weird ofc but ultimately I’m just kind of sad this enemy did not have the heart start beating or anything.
Finally we have the stuff with Gideon, perfect cardiophile villain. He’s a doctor, I don’t have to elaborate. One detail tho that gets me is the strangling. He has this sort of dart gun that quickly injects people with the T-Virus, he’s seen doing this with ease several times. I kind of feel like he could just have something like this on his person that contains a sedative to subdue Grace and Leon but he chooses to strangle them into unconscious. He’s surely monitoring their vitals and knows when to stop squeezing.
Sooo, yeah. Overall I enjoyed this game a lot and wished it lasted a bit longer. I think it’s in my top 3 RE games, not just for the cardiophile stuff lol
