have you heard of resident evil gaiden? im about to talk your ear off about it
except you cant hear me because this is a written post
anyway
you spend most of gaiden playing as barry burton who works for an unnamed organization mostly made up of ex s.t.a.r.s members and former umbrella employees
hes dropped off aboard a boat called the starlight with two objectives
1) to find fellow operative leon s kennedy since hq lost contact with him quicker than the rpd lost contact with bravo team in arklay
2) to find out info about a new b.o.w being developed by umbrella
thats leon on the left btw
yes he looks hilarious and no he doesnt match with any of the other character portraits in the game
STUFF THIS GAME FEATURES:
spoiler warning ig
male presenting b.o.w nipples
events non canon to the rest of the series because it conflicts with them :)
(actually that parts a bummer i think)
the standard quality of writing expected from a resi game
a b.o.w masquerading as leon
first person pov during fights
a big nasty b.o.w with yucky tummy tentacles that wont take the fucking hint
a submarine section
lots of holes lots and lots of holes
leon IN a hole
barry having another traitor moment
zombies everywhere like i mean EVERYWHERE
you know in the first resi when you encounter a single zombie in a room that comes after you when its done ripping apart kenneth? well theres like a fucking horde in the first room you enter in gaiden
a lot of them have crowbars to bash your brains in with <3
leon and barry during gameplay bearing a resemblance to chris and barry in the unfinished resi 1 gbc port
almost every cutscene featuring leon being funny looking
soooo much atmospheric rain
a little girl called lucia with natalia korda and rosemary winters vibes
shes got like. weird accelerated healing and acute hearing and she can sense the main threat
also barry tries to adopt her because thats what barry does when he finds children during missions
if you havent played this game you should!!
i mean
a copy of it isnt cheap and it has only been released on the gbc but its super easy to emulate!!
