Hey I'm new.
I'm 17 and quite a long time gamer.
Never having a playstation I have never played a resident evil in my life.
Now I am quite a big wuss. Anything scares me. So I always try avoid anything scarey. And too me thats alot of games. And don't even talk to me about movies. I stay far away from anything with the tinyest bit of gore.
I am a big fan of the story side of games. The monster fluff, the backstory, the history, the mysteries... all of it. I find alot of games don't have much of a plot. About a month ago I was bored and in need of a game to play. So I searched the interwebz. I heard this really old game called 7 days a stranger was really interesting. So I downloaded it. I was kinda a bit freaked out as it was called a horror game. Anyway I started it and the creepyniss wasn't too bad because of the point and click style and the old graphics.
It kinda had a couple of points that would make me jump if it wasn't for the sound on low and the graphics. Like this skeleton coming out of the bath. But I really liked it. So I finished it, then I played and finished the 2nd and 3rd games. I dont know if any of you would of heard of it but its got quite a cool story.
Anyyyway, I was bored again yesterday and I was looking around at games I have never really looked into. And I found resident evil on wikipedia. I read a bit and it sounded interesting (altho very frighting). Then I looked at a few youtube vids of resident evil 1. It looked quite fun, and the bad graphics kinda help wear the scare factor off a bit. Then I Looked to see what order the story went in. I found that The true story of biohazard was the first part. So I searched and came here.
I read a bit and its very good stuff. Those trevors letters are the kind of stuff I love.
I wannna get into resident evil I do. The only series ever I have followed is halo. Sounds bad I know. And I need some more I can follow. I have a few worrys tho.
For a start this is a old series. And when you want to start playing an old series you have an overwhelming amount of games, books, comics etc to try put in order and try find. Its really confusing. Has anyone else here tried playing them for the first time recently?
Also, If they didn't even release The true story of biohazard in english, how many things did we miss out on? With any jap based series we miss out on so much. We get the basic stuff, and miss out on all the deep stuff. We get peacies and they get the hole thing. Does this happen with resident evil?
Are they rare? I live in New zealand and I really havnt seem many of the older resident evil games. And I bet it would be really hard to get the comics or books or whatnot.
And my main concern. How scarey it is? I was hopeing the only thing scarey is the fact the main enemy is zombies and werid mutant things. Not things jumping out or ghosts or horrid gore or people screaming or loud noises or werid dreams or anything remotely pants wetting. If its any help to my scareniss level I can play threw ravenhelm in hl2 quite easily. I hate the moaning noises though. I think my main problem is a sudden loud noise or something jumping out. Its those suprise scares that is horrid. And to a lesser degree, horrid screaming and things. Would I be able to play resident evil?
And is there lots of cool things like trevors letters in the games? like cool mystery papers to read?
Thankyou all
Oh and sorry for my horrid spelling and grammer
Ps- Whats wrong with the name Biohazard? Why change it?

....if you say your really that scared of graphic images, then more power to you when you play, because after you lose the fear, it really only makes the game much more boring to beat over and over again, I use to cower in my covers when I watched my dad play RE2 before I got into the game, and I started to play it, and scared to death when I did, shaking with the lights off, I eventually got through it so many times it was second nature...though being 17 and that much more scared seems like you have lived a very sheltered life, which I am not dissing on since not every one is exposed to the world and all of that, but I want to say, hey, it will make you enjoy the game that much more when you actually have a sense of fear going into it.
