Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anticlimax Boss:
    • Compared to how quick and dangerous he was in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Nemesis is a bit disappointing in ORC, apparently content to stomp around slowly while firing his minigun.
    • The fight with two Mr X, if you know what you're doing.
  • Complete Monster:
    • USS Command could definately qualify. First they actually blame the outbreak in Raccoon City on Delta Team (when clearly the blame can be more squarely placed on Birkin or HUNK's team whichever you prefer to choose) and then goes on to leave them for dead after a string of events that clearly isn't their fault. He does offer them a second chance for evac, but by then even Delta Team isn't so easy to trust them. Additionally, many of the orders he gives (destroying the Power Plant, killing police and soldiers) would doubtlessly make the Outbreak worse.
    • Nicholai may be a Badass, but he actually may come across as this more than USS Command. The guy is clearly a Psycho for Hire that takes pleasure in screwing over his own teammates and leaving them to die at the mauls of zombies, setting up booby traps for USS which include a room full of Lickers and even zombies strapped with explosives that he calls his "little contraptions", shoots down a helicopter pilot for the team (adding to the Running Gag in the series of helicopter pilots always dying in the games), and then goes on to screw up the team plans even further. And worst of all, he lives and gets away with it all.
    • Applies to Delta Team as well. Aside from just working for Umbrella's assasination unit, their actions in-game (especially by destroying the power plant to cut off communications) exacerbated the problem and more likely than not caused the deaths of numerous civilians. Their last minute Heel Face Turn would curtail this, but if the player chooses to kill Leon and Claire and kidnap Sherry for Umbrella instead, that goes out the window.
  • Demonic Spiders: Hunters and Crimson Heads. Both are extremely fast and will mercilessly pin you down and claw at you until you're dead. It doesn't help that Hunters in this game have armored backs so you have to attack them from the front.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse:
    • HUNK of course, who actually manages to be even more badass in this game then he ever was in the series before.
    • Vector became this well before the game even came out. It certainly helps he was trained by HUNK himself and looks a good deal like him (with the gas mask). Hell he's the most composed member of the team and says pretty badass stuff.
    • Nemesis of which fans were more than happy to see a return of
    • Nicholai.
  • Evil Is Sexy:
    • The three female members of Delta Team; Lupo, Four Eyes and Bertha all qualify. Despite wearing gas masks, a good deal of Lupo and Four Eyes facial features can be seen and they're quite easy on the eyes. Not to mention Lupo wears skin tight leather. Bertha's face is completely covered, but some of the lines she says, how excited and eager she becomes when she sees her situation like a game and her accent make her just as sexy as the other two.
    • HUNK is this for female players, mostly based on what a complete Badass he is.
  • Memetic Badass: HUNK. William Birkin sure has some balls to take him on.
  • Memetic Mutation: How do you like Nicholai's "little contraptions"?
  • Most Annoying Sound: In the level where you need to retrieve the EMP devices after Nicholai shoots down the hospital carrying them. The devices make a really annoying garbled/scratching sound that will drive you nuts if you don't find it quick enough.
  • Older Than They Think: The dev team thinks this is the first time they're implementing an infection mode, but it first appeared in Resident Evil Outbreak.
  • That One Boss: Already people are stating that the double Mr. X Tyrant boss fight is the most difficult boss battle in the game. Sure it can be less hectic with a full team of players, but try and battle them both with no help.
    • The Super Tyrant bosses for spec-ops. Up to four super tyrants at one time, along with the typical zombie mob. Even worse, these tyrants have been speed-buffed and are each legitimate Lightning Bruisers. One of the few points in the game where you can just get stun-locked to death.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks:
    • On any given preview of the game, you'll find multiple comments decrying the fact that Operation Raccoon City is radically different than the previous games in the series.
    • The faces of Jill and Carlos have changed. Fans of them are not happy.
