Confession: I am a wuss
August 26th, 2008 by CatI really am when it comes to horror games like the Resident Evil series, yet I still play them. My first was Resident Evil 1 when it was ported to Gamecube. I was pretty much traumatized by my first run in with a Crimson Head, but… let’s not get into that. I still managed to go through the game and beat it twice.
And well, here I am, now playing through the Resident Evil 4 port for Wii. I’ve been doing pretty well so far, even through parts which I reluctantly had to do.
Oh you know… like having to pull a lever that is right next to a Garrador with long claws and has his eyelids sewn together, then having him attack me right away. Or perhaps being trapped in a sewer with a Verdugo chasing after me, randomly attacking me from the ceiling and sometimes running after me to pummel me. Those rank up pretty high on the ”omg omg OMFG“ scale.
I finally broke down when I reached an area where they performed experiments, and thus, there were dead bodies laying around. Memories came back of dead bodies picking themselves back up and chasing after me (Crimson Heads).
me: Can you… check next to that body for me…?
boyfriend: No, I’m not playing the game for you.
me: PPlleeaasseeeee, just check there for me???
boyfriend: Fine. *takes controller and walks behind body* Look, there’s a keycard.
me: Grab the keycard and leave the room.
boyfriend: No, I already got you here. You do the rest.
me: But but but… I really don’t want to. It’ll probably trigger something…
boyfriend: I’m not playing the game for you!
me: Answer this question. I won’t play! Until you answer this question! …will that dead guy attack me…?
boyfriend: Which dead guy?
me: That one! RIGHT THERE!
boyfriend: No, it won’t.
me: …ok…
So yeah… I got the keycard… didn’t get attacked by a dead guy. Instead, I ran into a Regenerator. That is just equally… BAD.
