Now before you jump down my throat and tell me how Operation Raccoon City was actually good, I’ll have you know that I am on record giving Umbrella Corps a slightly positive review.

As it turns out, while cracking jokes with your co-op buddy can diffuse the tension in a tight horror atmosphere, a dozen dudes all shouting about your mother and the various intricacies of fucking her over team chat completely shatters it. Both Operation Raccoon City and Umbrella Corps were savaged by critics and fans alike. As mediocre as the co-op Resident Evils can be, the PvP ones are bad. So when it was revealed that Resident Evil Resistance was a new competitive multiplayer Resident Evil, the warning klaxons were blaring. That is the Resident Evil 5 I’d rather play. Besides, did you ever read about what the game was going to be like before they added multiplayer? They were planning for it to be open maps with sandstorms and a shade/thirst mechanic. And while I know plenty of people like RE5, to me it always felt like an inferior version of RE4. Maybe Darkside Chronicles, but that feels like cheating. I’d have to go all the way back to Outbreak to remember an RE game that actually felt like the multiplayer added to the experience. The last multiplayer Resident Evil that I actually liked was Revelations 2, and even then I preferred to play it single-player (someone always got stuck playing the shit character, which isn’t fun).

The Resident Evil franchise has a less than stellar reputation when it comes to multiplayer. Resident Evil Resistance Review – I Preferred Umbrella Corps
