Whoever Writes Leon's Dialogue Is A God

[Jill's Boob]

anyone ever try leons one-liners and it turned out rather useful

Oh yeah, all the time.

For instance:

@ the DMV, when told, after already waiting in line for 30+ minutes, that there'd be an additional small wait, I said, "You're small-time!"

@ a friend's party, I scan the house looking for hot chicks, since I was told that there'd be plenty at this fiesta. Instead, many larger females populate the residence. I say, "Monsters. I guess after this there will be one less to worry about." (Said to keg, anxious to get to beer goggles stage.)

My response to being asked if I want to watch Degeneration: "No, thanks, bro."

When two guys followed me out of a pub to try and pick a fight, because they thought I was someone else: "I know you boys didn't tag along so we could sing "Kumbaya" together at a Boy Scout bonfire. Then again, maybe you did."

So now you're comparing the RE world to the Star Wars world?

It was a general comparison of how unrealistic many things are.
Okay, let's look at Predator. Everyone saw that movie right? It's pretty realistic besides the aliens.
So let's look at Arnie. He busts in a door and says "knock knock" before firing his weapon.
Let's look at when the Pred kills Jesse Ventura. Every member of Dutch's (Arnie's) group unloads every weapon they have with no real enemy in their sights. They continue this for over a minute at least.

So there ya go. Unrealism in fiction is very normal when it comes to fighting.

Leon is about as cool as "Annie" Skywalker. I never thought I could hate Star Wars, but I do now. I never even saw "Revenge of the Sith" after the crapfest that was "Attack of the Clones."

Leon's more like Luke but with better hair.

The Plagas mutations were farfetched and dumb. Just how were Mendez, Salazar, and Saddler planning on returning to their normal forms once they killed Leon? And how come Krauser only made his arm transform, while the other 3 had full-body transformations that defied physiological limitations?

I wondered the same things about Alexia and Sergei.
Anyway, whether Krauser had only Las Plagas is still up for debate.

because RE2 is the best selling game of the franchise, plus Capcom's best selling game ever. And it's pretty damn fun to play too.

Well it has been out many years longer than RE4.... That kinda gives it an edge.

Also who's Beasley? I have a message or something of his in my Profile and I didn't get it.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Nik isn't Beasley. Nikkolas was on reH for a while before Beasley and he just is a big fan of RE4. A few heated arguments happened between him and M_o_S on there as well lol. Besides, I reckon Beasley is Peter/GS.

What did you wonder about Alexia and Sergei? Alexia never made only part of her transform.

[Becky's Butt]

Alexia never made only part of her transform.

Um, I don't understand this. Could you clarify?

And yes, good ol' M_o_S. He on here too?

Also I'm a big fan of the entire RE series minus Dead Aim. I just have to defend RE4 more than any of the others.

Y'know, it doesn't really matter in the end. RE2 Leon and the game plot was obviously not utterly unpopular because RE2 is the best selling game of the franchise, plus Capcom's best selling game ever. And it's pretty damn fun to play too.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, but money, I am afraid, talks more than words.

mmm....... no it ain't actually, if you combine the Directors cut and Duel shock versions of RE1, they are higher than RE2's sales, put add Remake to it and the sales are even higher, in fact it would be capcoms most succesfull game ever.

how do it know, i made a topic about it on gamefaqs, which got deleted yesterday, i may move it here soon since i was not finished with it.

But in "Predator," everyone is very human, with their weaknesses & frailties being exposed against a superior killing machine from another planet. They all were scared. Arnold even gets his ass kicked when he engages it in hand-to-hand.

Leon would have just scoffed at the Predator (which he kind of faced in the sewers of RE4) and run up trees like a character from "Crouching Tiger." NeoL is awesome like that.

And Arnold saying "Stick around" to a guy he just impaled into a wall is funny. Nothing Leon says in RE4 is (intentionally) funny.

Leon's more like Luke but with better hair.

Please don't insult Luke Skywalker like that. Ever.

[Becky's Butt]

^ Alexia wasn't infected with your traditional T-virus.

I know that. It's kinda the whole point of the game is she's infected with the T-Veronica Virus.

Please don't insult Luke Skywalker like that. Ever.

Hey I love Luke. He was a total badass in RotJ; my favorite SW film. But I don't like his hair.

That's current stats, though. I was looking at older ones, sorry. ^^; But still, it did manage to be one of their best selling game for a long time, before the first one was and that certainly stands for something.

I do personally think, however, that current Leon is far more cliche than original Leon. It's like they purposefully dressed him up to seem really cool, and they kind of just made him silly in some ways... At least when he seemed all innocent and inexperienced it added depth to his character. Now, he's pretty much two-dimensional... He has like two emotions. Possibly three.

[missvalentine]

Leon is about as cool as "Annie" Skywalker. I never thought I could hate Star Wars, but I do now. I never even saw "Revenge of the Sith" after the crapfest that was "Attack of the Clones."

Revenge of the sith was a lot better than the other two prequels.

i don't hate the prequels, but nothing could be better than the original star wars films, so im not surprised they prequels were not as good, i still like them though.

[Alexia_Ashford]

No, Vass isn't on THIA. What I meant is, I don't understand what you're confused about. A member up there posted saying how it confused them that Krauser/Saddler etc could make only one part of them transform, then go straight back to the way they were. You said you wondered the same about Alexia... but Alexia never did that?

[Becky's Butt]

Combining sales for the original RE1 and REmake and counting it as one game doesn't make any sense.

@Alexia: What Boob said was he wondered how Saddler and them could transforma nd plan on returning to normal. Thus my reply was to him about that. Obviously Alexia and Sergei couldn't return to normal either after their transformations.
Least I don't think so. Unelss Alexia is same as Steve.

[Darkmoon]

RE4 Leon was made to appear to what I call the 'Frat Boy' market. They threw as much cool at him as possible and hoped some would stick. Sadly his lack of emotion and bad one liners just made him seem like a gimp to most folk.

[Becky's Butt]

His one-liners were, in tradition of RE, bad.
"You want STARS? I'll give you STARS" is no better than "your right hand comes off?" At least Leon is talking to people who understand him and not a giant half-dead blob.

[Darkmoon]

That's true. It's just sad he feels the need to say them so very much, rather than once at the end of the game.
