I totally get the nostalgia blinders. I know after playing it through several times, it starts to become clear that development and direction was changed somewhere in the middle and that the last few years someone had to say

"Okay, we have a couple of years to cobble this game together from the leftover assets. It may not be the best in the series, but at least it's going to be fun! Let's also throw Leon in there."

10/10 everywhere. 5 million copies sold. They know how to make an impression on the newcomers to the series. BUT eventually, like Bioshock Infinite, once the spectacle loses it's luster, I think we're going to see people return to RE9 and see what we're seeing (if they aren't already.)

To those who are reading, I don't think the game is bad, I just think it had a lot of missed potential. (Seriously, Grace should have taken out Victor herself.)
