we are winning at levels never before thought possible it seems, after making the wrong choice of becoming an ada wong fan & having to subsist off the crumbs of characterization given to me in in-game files, supplemental material & scant lines of dialog it seems capcom is truly going to give me everything i have ever wanted :
probably giving ada the best DLC in the franchise, a meaningful relationship with a character that isn't leon that seems to take precedent in her story over her few chance encounters with leon in RE4R ( i have a feeling her & luis' history gives their dynamic far more meaning than his little rollercoaster ride with leon ), cool sci-fi contacts replacing the glasses she never really used in the original, integrating her grapple hook in her combat when it was sadly only ever used for traversal, actual content specifically designed for her campaign & not just reused arenas from the main game ( some of these are from the original carried over to ada but i think her performing the coolest thing leon does in the original, dodging the lasers, is sick ), finally positioning wesker as an antagonist in ada's story directly rather than him hanging over her like a school headmaster trying to play mindgames .
it's honestly so personally rewarding to see capcom go to such lengths for a character they have otherwise neglected, even in a game like re6 where she carries the emotional core of the story ( in specific her developing relationship with carla as she learns she is more than just some lab-made doppelganger, which was sadly undercooked - like most of the game, despite the explosions )
#* file // : OOC β ( πππ ππππππ'π πππππππ . )#sorry i couldn't join the hype the trailer dropped while i was at work but as always#winning. winning. winning. i am ALWAYS winning#please have her smoke luis' last cigarette or just share a smoke with him as they formulate their plan#though another element i will retain from the original is her relationship with krauser + his involvement with wesker#like it's more fitting for leon to be his killer but i need krauser to fail so hard at retrieving the sample wesker sends ada in#& also the revelation that the village/castle/cult itself is a mask for a military operation run by a scientist using the plaga's control#for world domination#saddler being a zealot just doesn't quite make as much sense once you reach the island & see their military/laboratory equipment#these aren't the designs of a man who is 100% getting high off his own supply#i'll hold off on wesker's characterization since we have very little to go off of but i do always prefer richard waugh's performance#over all others#there is definitely a nice mustache twirling bond villain-type angle that does fit better in the OG's self-aware american action movie#that wouldn't be out of place here since it's rather true to the character#i don't mind his new voice but it's definitely a little more flat#also i miss his gay little turtleneck#i'm happy ada has hers but where is his
