I'm an OG RE fans and played the very first original RE disc version of ps back in 96. And that is why I loved RE6 because I'm already familiar with it and I'm seasoned. I don't need scary slow paste story with no ammo. It no fun running from zombies. All I need is lots and lots of ammo and blast some zombies up. I need COD Resident Evil.
Why should Leon take a break? Because he's too much of a male masculinity for today's "modern audiences"? Where they at? They are not playing the RE games. We are. It doesn't matter rather he's in the games a lot or less. The RE franchise sells whenever he's in them because he's the fans favorite. If Capcom is smart they will not be like Disney and bench their most famous character for a shaved head, nose ring wearing, Diversity inclusion character that nobody wants.
