Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles/YMMV
- Demonic Spiders:
- Lickers and Eliminators. They're small, agile, fast, and fond of leaping attacks.
- Hunters too: big, agile, fast, and fond of leaping attacks.
- Goddamned Bats: The leeches in '"Train Derailment, small spiders in Mansion Incident and the roaches in Raccoon's Destruction have the potential to be like this but only a small number of them actually attack, they cause no damage unless you leave them on, and can be removed with a simple swipe of the knife. It's mainly if you're overwhelmed by other enemies at the same time that they become annoying. Played straight with the crows.
- Narm:
- After Plant 42 has lobbed acid at Chris and Jill and lashed out at them with its vines:
 |
Chris: Be careful, I'm sure it's dangerous. |
 |
- The last part of the second level and almost all of the third level of Raccoon's Destruction thanks to weird dialogue and programming errors. The last part of the second level is running from a group of Hunters in a dark corridor, and during it, Carlos proclaims he won't let anything bad happen to Jill. When the level ends he suddenly shoouts "We're screwed!" as it fades out. But depending on how well you do, he can shout "We're screwed!" practically a few seconds after he heroically proclaims to protect Jill.
- As for the third level? Well first off, when Carlos and Jill hide from Nemesis inside the morgue (And summarily gun down an army of zombies thanks to making the stupid decision to hide in a frigging morgue during a Zombie Apocalypse), they both step out to an empty corridor, leading to Jill randomly saying "I think so too." And no, Carlos says absolutely nothing to indicate that the coast was clear (He didn't need to) yet Jill just randomly spouts that out with no context whatsoever.
- THEN when Carlos and Jill are running around the Front Hall's balcony, they see Nemesis down below, holding a rocket launcher. Resulting dialogue:
|
Jill: It looks that way. |
|
- This would be a fairly standard dialogue piece on its own but a programming error leads to Jill's line coming first and as a result, lacks context and makes her look a bit schizophrenic, almost as if she says this to every big monster she comes across that doesn't go down in one bullet. And THEN it pops up in the last Nemesis encounter before the boss fight, with Jill saying the exact same line (The exact same vocal, too) with the exact same lack of context and programming error.
|
Jill: It looks that way. |
|
- Carlos' line is hilarious too considering that you blow up Nemesis' rocket launcher while he's holding it. Carlos, when you accomplish that, triumphantly claims "Even he couldn't have survived THAT!"...except you can clearly see Nemesis is merely kneeling in the classic weary pose with only the mild smoke being any indicator, and Nemesis is still clearly moving a little, therefore clearly survived THAT. I think you overestimate your chances, Carlos.
- Newer Than They Think: Umbrella Chronicles was actually the first game with D. C. Douglas voicing Wesker.
- That One Boss:
- The Ivan boss has the potential to be a real pain, and it gets worse in Dark Legacy where you have to fight two of them simultaneously.
- T-A.L.O.S, particularly with its second form's abundance of Press X To Not Die attacks, has major irritation potential.
- That One Level: Umbrella's End Chapter 2. The once-per-level life spray is not in an immediately obvious location, and herbs are not positioned very intelligently (showered in them when you don't need them, nothing but ammo and more goddamned Hunters when you do).
