The Central "Jill Valentine" Discussion Topic

[Rakkoon]

No it isn't. It's a side effect of her near-death and later experimentation, pigment abnormality. It's perfectly reasonable.

Judging from your avatar and signature, it would appear you're merely blinded by fanboyism.

Thank you. You are quite a psychologist. Yes, I am blinded by fanboyism.

God...

I never said it was unreasonable. I don't care if it makes sense. It's stupid. It's ugly. I hate it. I don't care what reasonable reason they come up with, it doesn't make any difference to me. I hate it. That's how I feel. Maybe I should paraphrase? TO ME it's ridiculous. Do I have to say things like 'to me' or 'in my opinion' every time to make it clear I am stating a personal opinion here?

Jill's blonde hair pisses me off enormously. RE5 has enough of everything to completely destroy Resident Evil. Then there's Jill and her pathetic look. It's a joke, everything. Such a cheap way to steal people's money. Such a lame way to end RE. I'm not talking about Jill's hair now. That was just a lame way to end Jill. The hair was just the most obvious flaw. Superficial? I would say Jill's hair color was probably the deepest thing about RE5. Say whatever you like now, I really don't care anymore.

[[STARS]TyranT]

Why though? It's only the change of hair - Capcom even went to the effort to explain it AND visually show her natural colour is returning, as well as including good old brunette Jill in the Mercs.

I can understand some of the games backlash but to base most of the games hate over a characters hair colour is a little bit too much, did you flip out when Capcom changed Leon's hair from a reddish ginger to blonde in Resident Evil 4?

And Jill isn't ended, there's no reason to suggest she wont be back?

[ValentineKnight]

I want another Jill game so I hope not...anyway I just dislike Jill"s new hair and outfit cause she looks like a generic female spy/villian character to me now...like I said it's mostly the catsuit

Are you all blind? Don't you realize? Resident Evil is dead. RE5 was a joke. They made fun of you. They stole your money. They raped you the way they raped Monica Bellucci in Irreversible. Forget Jill's hair, that was just ugly and that's it. I hate it, but that's about it. But what really matters is that Resident Evil died. It really did. Don't you care? I care about that more than I care about Jill's hair as ugly as it is. Why do we even bother discussing anything anymore? RE is dead.

[Darinl1979]

Yeah, they announced a new Wii game and verified that RE6 will eventually come out. RE sure is dead. Just because RE5 wasn't an ode to Jill and give you more images to masturbate to in your Mom's basement doesn't mean it was a bad game or that RE is dead. It was short but sweet.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I really don't care about Jill. Seriously, the hair just pissed me off before I actually played RE5. After that I didn't care anymore. There were MUCH bigger issues. What you said was very insulting, but right now I am too frustrated over the huge failure of RE5 to actually even be able to write anything sensible, let alone care about your insults towards me. It wasn't nice though.

It doesnt matter what they announce. They announced RE5. I was glad. I waited. I hoped. I waited more. I hoped more. I hoped less. I hoped more. I pre-ordered. I got it. I played it. I was in disbelief. It was a joke. A mockery of the Resident Evil series. Short but sweet? It was a bad joke that wasn't even funny. A sick clone of a Dolph Lundgren B movie or something.

This is not the place to discuss RE5 I guess. I'm too emotional right now, since I am terribly let down. I really feel totally cheated and disappointed. They ruined Resident Evil forever. RE5 really did it for me. They just butchered it. RE4 was far better than RE5 when it came out. Even now, it's still much much better. RE5 is a better looking RE4 with no story, ugly locations for most of the game, terrible bosses, absolutely mindless action, repetative and with nothing even remotely enjoyable about it, just frustratingly hard since it felt cheap and I had no motivation at all to shoot someone 20 times with an upgraded shotgun before they even flinch. Mindless shooting all the way, all the time. Terrible PARTNER. God, I hate that word now. Just a very VERY random game, very forgettable in general. That was the biggest, stupidest joke ever. RE5, that is.

Maybe I would be able to write something that makes more sense in a few days. I'm sorry I had to post this now.

[[STARS]TyranT]

Right..

*sigh*

So Resident Evil 5 has no story, yet you site Resident Evil 4 as being 'far better'? When Mikami abandoned years of storytelling to tell a predictably awful story of a President's daughter being kidnapped with horrendous villians and cardboard hero (though I do like Leon). It took Seperate Ways to make the story of that game at least interesting, and Mikami was long gone by that point.

Ugly locations - because damn - the 4 hours we spent in the castle are so spectacular nothing can compare. If you'd said the Spencer Mansion or Raccoon City I'd of been with you, but again using Resident Evil 4 as reference I just can't understand it.

The bosses comment, again you compare Resident Evil 4, the only bosses in Resident Evil 4 that offered any sense of real tactic was Krauser and Saddler, the rest are just simply 'unload your best weapon as fast as you can'. At least Resident Evil 5, the bosses has phases and variety, you aren't doing the same thing in each one.

Mindless action: I'm with you there, but again that's all Resident Evil 4 was bar one section in the prison. At least with Resident Evil 5 being the shorter game it actually doesn't feel padded out with even more action like the way Mikami just couldn't resist putting in one more massive gunfight in the game post the Krauser battle.

You announce Resident Evil 5 has killed the series, but to many Resident Evil 4 did that already, what the devs wanted to do here was to give a storyline that would please the older fans and give certain characters a chance again. But what is with Jill having blonde hair that irks you so much, the woman went through hell in this game. She's not going to be perfect, but hey, she's alive and she's back.

That quote was made of pure win I agree to me RE5 is the best game since REmake.

[News Bot]

It's stupid. It's ugly. I hate it.

Auto-invalidated.

Calling something a stupid design choice or game ruining just because you don't particularly like blonde hair (of all things to diss a game about) is, to be honest, mind-numbing.

[missvalentine]

ok i haven't been here for a while.

but i think RE5 was a HUGE letdown. also i find it amusing that i was right that RE5 was about Jill. well Jill and Uroboros anyway.

anyways, i didn't like Jill as much as i did previously. but she was the best character in RE5 nonetheless, and then Excella after that.

also i really hate how she is blond now, and i think it would have been better if it was Jill and Chris who fired the RPG's at Wesker.

but still, just like what Kojima did with Snake in MGS2, putting him as a side character so they could develop him more. now capcom tried it and now they have put Jill has a side character in RE5 and turns out she is the most interesting character in the game. ive finished it and i cann't wait to her more about her she's more interesting now that she has ever been for me.

also, Chris was ok in RE5, but still kinda bland. but Wesker they totaly fucked his character up in RE5. also im not to happy about super Jill.

[ValentineKnight]

YAY you're back!...Anyway I think Chris and Jill were the best characters in RE5...though I still wish Chris beat the shit outta Wesker for what he did to Jill.

[News Bot]

also i really hate how she is blond now

1) It's explained.
2) It's temporary.

but Wesker they totaly fucked his character up in RE5.

Play CVX.

thanks. but it's only temporary. im at an internet cafe. the internet at my home is still broken.

anyways i agree that... this is weird for me, but Chris is actually quite good in RE5. and yes Jill isthebest, and making her a side character only made her a million time more interesting to me.

1) It's explained.
2) It's temporary.



Play CVX.

yeah i know it's explained, cause she's been in the tube. and i know it's just temporary and after a few weeks her hair will be back to normal. but it's just than Jill really does not suit Blond hair.

and yes Wesker in CVX was pushing the boundarys.

[Jill's Boob]

Excella Gionne summed it up perfectly with this line of dialogue from RE5:

"Jill, Jill, Jill. You're like a broken record."

Speaks volumes about this thread, and certain fanatical fans.

I laughed so hard when she said that.
