Barry Burton = manly topic

[Mr_Zombie]

But expecting to see a 50 year old Barry in RE6 would be just ridiculous.

Just for the record, Barry is the same age as Wesker; sure, Wesker is now resurrected super-human and all but still, who say 50-year-old guy can't be a super hero (or, in Wesker's case, a super villain) ;).

"Barry is super awesome and should be featured in every game ever made for the rest of eternity"

"Barry as the master, Leon as the apprentice, the ultimate Coop gameplay. Best, game, Ever!"

That's funny to me. In the other thread, the "Heroes of RE, IGN Article" thread to be exact, you said yourself that "people who state things as fact annoy me."

Yet here you are, stating that Barry IS awesome and SHOULD be in every game EVER.

Do you always contradict yourself?

As for Barry being "significant" to RE lore...the guy was in (half of) RE1, the end of RE3, and Gaiden (a game even Capcom doesn't consider canon).

In RE1, Barry just disappears from Chris' half of the game, and is never seen again. In Jill's half, he is being blackmailed by Wesker but then comes to his senses and aids his friends. In RE3, Barry appears in an alternate ending where he pilots a chopper to rescue Jill & Carlos Homoliveira. And he gets an epilogue file saying he transported his family to Canada.

The most significant things Barry did was rescue Jill in RE1 and again in 3. But she still kicked the proverbial bucket in 2006, so Barry really only delayed the inevitable.

That's it. That, is, it. Please tell me how I am "mad" that I don't consider Barry to be significant to the RE lore.

If anything, all you have done is furthered the ideal that Barry is indeed a "cult character."

Oh, and for posterity's sake, here is your statement:

it was a joke. i cannot believe you took that seriously.

i was just stating i would like Barry to return. that's all.

Just for the record, Barry is the same age as Wesker; sure, Wesker is now resurrected super-human and all but still, who say 50-year-old guy can't be a super hero (or, in Wesker's case, a super villain) ;).

yeah and don't foget Old Snake, old people can be hereos to, don't forget about them.

^Well I apologize. I did not know that you were joking.

And in real life, most 50-year-old men are not action heroes. Besides, Barry is 49 during the time of RE5...so who knows how far into the future RE6 could take place? He'd be even older.

And comparing the dude from Metal Gear...isn't he enhanced in some way? Like more so than a normal man? Barry, on the other hand, is just a normal man. One with creaky bones, and probably diabetes. Looking at his "punch gut" in RE1, he sure does love to eat his wife's cooking.

"Old Snake" was 42 years old in MGS4, but the effects of accelerated aging due to him being a clone made him look much older.
