I haven't played a RE since CV but aren't those games still story driven?

Over this?




The honest answer is neither. I'd rather just stare in to a wall if those are my choices.

Dude, as much as I love RE, I can't even front that the overarching story is anything but a retarded mess.

%90 of RE = Umbrella is real evil. Rich peeps are crazy. Kill them zambies (and los plagas, or whatever). Punch boulders. Kill Wesker again. Then do a replay in a cowboy outfit.

If you've tried to get into the story, didn't succeed and didn't experience it then you don't have any grounds to fully critique it.

If fantasy that's 'mature and gritty' is apparently 'embarrassed' to be fantasy then GoT, LoTR, First Law trilogy, Beyond Redemption, The Axe and the Throne etc are all embarrassed to be fantasy?
No, fantasy doesn't have to be suitable for kids and throughout the majority, it isn't.

Even Discworld, a series which is about as lighthearted as you can get isn't for kids.

Also, the fact Sapkowski isn't as well known as, say GRRM doesn't mean he's a 'hack' author.
