Couple days after finishing the game, and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Such a phenomenal experience. I think that the thing that I love about this game, more than perhaps any other stories in the series, is how tragic it is at it's core. This is the story of a child who was warped at birth, by soulless people, and ended up corrupting an entire family because that's all she can do. The Bakers are some of my favorite villains in anything, ever. I really hate evil characters who are just evil because. I much prefer humanized evil. Those who do wrong because they are so broken, they believe it's right, or like the Bakers, those who are warped by forces outside of their control.
I feel for the Bakers. The scene where the actual Jack speaks with you, is one of the most haunting moments I've ever seen in a game. The immortal monster, who mutilates and kill...is a broken man fully aware of how destroyed his mind and body are. It's powerful beyond words. The writing here was leagues above the rest of the series. This is the kind of shit that Resident Evil needed for a long time now. Iconic characters with actual depth beyond a few catchphrases.
