[Dr Kain]

I played through RE8's Shadow of Rose DLC today. It took me just a little over 3 hours to beat it and I thought it was quite good overall. I heard a lot of bad things about this adventure and I'm honestly not sure why. I mean okay, the final boss was a lame rehash and the ending was just the epilogue from the game (which still doesn't make sense), so that was kind of lame, but the game itself was very creepy. I also liked how each section was quite different with the middle one, revolving around giant dolls and Weeping Mannequins being fucking scary as all hell. I loved every second of it. I wish there had been more of that.

Oh, there was one really annoying thing though. Ethan shows up in the game and they intentionally block you from seeing his face, which is freaking annoying. Like what is so special about Ethan that you can't show us a full blown head shot? It also made the camera angles look out of place. My wife was watching me play the game and started to think he was so big known character in the RE universe whose identity was being kept hidden since that is a typical anime thing to do when they want there to be some grandiose revelation later on.
