Resident Evil 5 fails again!

This is a random little thing I just wanted to mention about my Resi 5 experience.
With all the steroids Chris took in Resi 5 and Jills new hair and appearance I did not like what they did with the characters in Resi 5. The story also annoyed me in that it was far too Hollywood and predictable.

But then I remembered the past RE plots with UNpredictable twists, emotional scenes, conspiracy and mystery. Some of the most moving scenes were when people died or sacrificed themselves. And the biggest feeling I had in RE5? Well for the most part I could say I was underwhelmed but entertained. BUT there was one big shock to me. And it was related to a past character called Sherry. She was twelve in the past game which occured in 1998. She had since dropped off the map and all I knew was she is being held captive. I presumed by Wesker the bad guy.
Resi 5 occurs in the year 2009 so she would be around 23 at this time. I was hoping they would bring her back into the plot seeing as they were holding her back for something.

So I was playing through the game based in Africa so most the infected were black people. But look! Here I see a blonde white girl screaming for help out a window! She is dragged in and I wonder "Is that Sherry?!" I run up to try and save her. I shoot her captor dead. She runs towards me happy to be saved, embracing Chris. I am hoping at this point for an explanation. Something, ANYTHING!
But before this happens she shudders violently! She's infected too! Is this Sherry? Did they make her infected!? She advances on me going to attack but what do I do? I had no choice and I acted in self defence hoping that she would not be killed.
Another cutscene jumps in just as I weaken her and she is still alive... Then POP!! Her head explodes! And some monster that I have never seen before sprouts from her neck!! My heart wrenches as I think Sherry, a character I eagerly awaited may have died in front of me! I then think it must have been her! She was a host for the old G-Virus. This virus created similar beasts which were often end game bosses. I am forced to finish it off... I was confused and saddened. But the game made no effort at explaining what happened...

I had to come to realise that the beast was an evolution of the virus and it was also spreading. This event was to alert me of the new threat.
However the white, blonde women in the red dress who stuck out from the poor black community was someone completely unimportant and misleading. I had to look up what actually happened. I was not the only person on the internet searching for this answer. So many people made the same mistake. I was left disappointed again.

And that was the high point in the game! That was IT! It was completely unintentional and all in my head. With everything the game was built up to be SURELY a professional could have written something else that stood out in the plot as dramatic as that. Yet another point at which Resident Evil 5 failed me...

Hey, Dead Space is 10 times the horror game Resi5 was and Dead Space 2 is gonna kick ass as well. A great replacement for the nose diving Resi series...
