      in fact you missed some of them. one in RE 2 while fighting with tyrant on the crane (I don't know what that platform name is, and Ada threw that for Leon).
      In both RE4's (original and remake) Ada give Leon a Well-Timed RPG.
      and in RE6 Leon story, At the ending, there was an RPG near the helicopter, also provided by Ada. (God bless Ada)
      and really how you could summarize whole story and yet do not show the Iconic RE6 Leon and Chris encounter?
      on top of all those, There is a Well-Timed Pistol at the end of RE7. (the Albert-01)😅

    In case anyone is curious, miranda found the the megamycete right after her daughter died wayyyyy back then. It was in the caves under the village and is of unknown origin and the mold acts like a neural network and stores memories and data of those who die near it. (Which is how miranda was going to basically download her baby from the megamycete.) When Spencer worked with Miranda he learned about the mold which inspired him to pursue artifical evolution. When he found the flowers that naturally produced the progenitor virus after learning of a tribe of people living unnaturally long, he and Miranda argued about which was better, mold or viruses. They disagreed and Miranda did her mold experiments while Spencer went to develop the virus experiments with help from the Marcus' funding and Birkin's experience.
    I felt the origin wasn't clearly explained so I wanted to make sure people got how the mold and viruses shared a similar origin story with Miranda vs Spencer.

    As someone who was about the same as you with having little to no knowledge of RE growing up, OTHER than the movie (which fun enough my monkey brain loved), to spenting the last four years consuming all RE media i possibly can. This summary was awesome!! Definitely saving it in my playlist to come back to when i need background noise/something to watch!!

    This content is incredibly well-made. You always succeed in making it captivating. I've been a fan of the game since the release of Resident Evil 4, but I've never really delved into all the intricate details until now. So, thanks for enlightening me on these aspects.

    This is far and away the best "Story Up To This Point..." of Resident Evil that ive seen. Ive been a huge fan of the series my entire life and parts still confuse me to this day lol. (Im looking at you Revelations 1&2) but the way you put everything together was perfect! Well done.

    I'm really sitting here trying to play re4 at 3 am while listening to this video. Some how I have paused the game to actually pay more attention to the video because it's actually hilarious. Keep it up.

  • @fernandog.ramirez.6917
    @fernandog.ramirez.6917 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I grew up playing RE, beat the OG trilogy as a young kid but sadly was withdrawn from it as poverty struck and my love for gaming was taken from me for years. 20 something years passed, i've got some cash now and started playing some of the games and kinda started getting into the groove of it again as I loved the series and they imprinted fond memories on me. But with so many games the best thing to do was to watch a summary of it all to understand why we went from zombies to raging spanish cursing villagers to some disgusting undescribable creatures. And, what I find is a total massive CLUSTERFUCK that barely keeps some resemblance to the past I remembered; and, thanks to your video i sort of understand this shitshow now but holy hell it threw me off from the series. God level summary work. Excellent video mate.

  • @pandanose4994

    The way how the movies (the animated onces) and the animated short series + the irl plays are connecting to the storyline as well... is insanse! RE isn't just a gameseries, it's a whole a- lore.. Love the video

  • @johnathanwerner6731
    @johnathanwerner6731 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Great video loved the effort you put into it and it’s absolutely insane you were able to condense all the lore of the series into a 40 minute video most impressive and I absolutely love this video as a longtime RE fan and a person who’s played all the games

    really grateful for vids like this, they make media so much more accessible all sorts of people (in my case: disabled horror lover who cant handle jumpscares due to adrenaline surges HURTING VERY BADLY), not even going into people who may not have a decent computer for emulation, cant afford the games, etc. I always try to thank creators for content like this when i can!

    I do wish you'd covered Resident Evil Revelations 2 because Moira Burton is my favorite character and I feel like she gets glossed over a lot. But lack of Moira aside, this video was fantastic.

    It’s funny, because when it comes to the lore of resident evil, I’m one of the semi- veterans, and I understand this video is supposed to be for beginners, but at the same time for it being for beginners, it covers quite a lot lore wise and you explain it very easy and really well❤, one of the plot points being that Miranda has been there since the beginning mentoring Oswell
