For my choices...

Game:
Favorite - Resident Evil 0
Least Favorite - Code Veronica

Male Playable Character:
Favorite - Billy Coen
Least Favorite - Carlos if we count support characters

Female Playable Character:
Favorite - Rebecca Chambers. The amount of work they did to redeem her awful RE1 character with RE0 is astounding.
Least Favorite - Jill Valentine

Normal Enemy:
Favorite - Hunter
Least Favorite - Spiders. They are really dumb and no threat.

Boss:
Favorite - G-Birkin, specifically second or third form
Least Favorite - Giant Bat in REZero. Really lame. Giant Scorpions are scary and the giant centipede had cool music at least.

Tyrant:
Favorite - Proto-Tyrant in 0 or Mr. X in 2
Least Favorite - The one in Code Veronica

Villain:
Favorite - William Birkin
Least Favorite - Albert "Matrix Reject" Wesker

Location:
Favorite - Spencer Mansion or Umbrella Training Facility
Least Favorite - Island in RE4

Favorite Music/Soundtrack - I think RE2 had the best overall OST.

However I'll pick a few favorites from my favorites. (If you are going to link vids, please put them in spoilers like I'm doing)

Resident Evil 2 - Second Malformation of G
Possibly the most iconic piece ever to come from an RE game
(SPOILER)

Resident Evil 0 - Save Music
The BEST save room theme.
(SPOILER)

Resident Evil 4 - "Path To Closure"
The Krauser fight music. I love the tension of the first stage of the fight with him so much and this music is a huge part of it.
(SPOILER)

Favorite Music/Soundtrack No way am I going to be able to choose.

I was a fan of Resident Evil after watching my brother play the original game in 96. I'd play it for a little while but was always too scare to get very far. From there I'd play 2, Nemesis, Survivor (RE does NOT work as a FPS), Code Veronica X, RE Remake, 0, Outbreak Files 1, 2 and RE 4. Only ones I really didn't like from that list was Survivor and 0. I haven't played any RE titles after 4 but I do want to get my hands on Revelations.

I currently own Resident Evil, Resident Evil Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis, Resident Evil Code Veronica X, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2 and Resident Evil 4.

This is kind of just a random observation but I watch a lot of REZero LPs on YouTube because I love the game and I love watching people play through it. I've watched maybe 10 or more over the years and a pattern I keep noticing is that it's almost always Europeans playing it. i want to say British people but I'm no good with accents so maybe just somewhere in the UK. 90-95% of the Let's Plays were done by my freinds across the pond and I just never realized that RE was so big over there I guess.

If anybody is good with accents or is actually from the UK and can tell me where these folks are from, that be cool. Or if you just want to watch some cool LPs, here are some vids I highly recommend.

First two are English and the third sounds like he's from Northern Ireland. Never actually heard a Welsh bloke do LPs. Probably because it's still 1978 here and we don't have internet yet.

I love Resident Evil. Can't be bothered to fill in that questionnaire but RE2 is superior and RE4 is good no matter what some people would have you believe.

Classic RE music:

[Ayen]

Anyone else open the main entrance after Wesker and the others were gone?

I did.

Every. Single. Time.

[Forsaken Lover]

Classic RE music:

(SPOILER)

The Director's Cut actually had some legitimately good music.

(SPOILER)

I really like that song.

And I'm gonna plug Zero some more because I love that game and its music.
(SPOILER)

[Shauna]

I know the games have some good tracks. I was just having a gentle poke at that one track that we in the EU region did not have to be subject to. :3

[Aulayna]

Ah, that explains why I never heard it despite it becoming an internet legend.

[Ayen]

Was it in the American release? Because I don't remember that track at all.

I could have blocked it from my memory, though. You never know.

[Shauna]

Yes, it was.

[Forsaken Lover]

Ya know I never played much of the game so I totally forgot about it but ya know what RE has a smurfing BRILLIANT score?

Outbreak 1.


That right there is easily a contender for Top 5 Songs Ever in a Resi Evil game.

On top of that there was
(SPOILER)


And


That last one plays during the absolutely beautiful destruction of Raccoon City. Just listen to that song or watch this ending.


That Outbreak OST is easily Top 3 RE Soundtracks for me. It goes 2. 0 and Outbreak.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Although I've always known about it in popular culture, I don't think I've ever sat and played a Resident Evil before except for a couple minutes of RE4 when I was able to pick it up for cheap at a video rental store getting rid of old stock.

I just bought the first one on PSN. I'm familiar with the story and a few of the characters so I'm looking forward to diving in, for sure.

[Forsaken Lover]

So how is the voice-acting in RE6 and Revelaitons? (official Capcom spelling) RE's rep for Amazingly Bad Voice-Acting kinda waned over time and I'd say by the time of RE0/4 it was legitimately good.

I'd probably rank the games I know about in terms of voice-acting as....
RE4
RE5
Darkside Chronicles
RE0
Umbrella Chronicles
RE2
RE3
Code Veronica
RE1
