Re5 had Chris punching boulders, that alone was enough to signal crapcom has no idea what they're doing.
I liked the game when it was a survival horror, exploring a place to escape from it, I don't even mind the action re3, hell I don't even mind stuff like hunters, lickers, giant spiders etc
It was survival horror with a dose of cheese, re4 and later were just action games with a overdose of cheese.
Re4 for me is when the series died, re4 was a good game, but the death scream of Resident Evil. Cave trols, and psycho midgets? Da fuq
