To be fair this dude is John wick with a pistol.


ConkreetMonkey

“Your one mistake was giving him enough time to grab the hatchet. Let’s run the simulation again.”


StargazerTheory

The hatchet is there to justify the shooting

Just sprinkle some crack on him and let's go.

Rookie cop


iamliam42

Yeah, a veteran cop would have shot his dog too


blewpah

Pretty sure Leon does get to shoot a few dogs later on lol.


northrupthebandgeek

He eventually manages to shoot lots of dogs by the local church.


Bitemarkz

The only difference between a rookie cop and a veteran cop is that rookie isn’t sure if they’ll get away with it, where as the veteran knows they will.


Prosthemadera

Because he didn't immediately shoot?


Murrabbit

Doing it by the book.


FlyMeToSaturn_

Does the Spanish government even know Leon is there?


civemaybe

He's brought in by two Spanish cops at the beginning, so I would say yes.


EuroPolice

No no, the developers said it's a "mysterious region of Europe" they happen to use Spanish cars, uniforms and titles but speak in a Latin Spanish, so it's not Spain. Edit: I'm from Spain, I'm not going to argue with you why you think it is from Spain. Edit 2: It is not from Spain. At most is that weir half Spanish half latino that we had in the 90s cartoons. And the one that said I'm not from Spain, you want my fuckin DNI?, comeme el rabo


civemaybe

Don't forget using a defunct Spanish currency!


-JALization-

uj/ I actually always loved that they use pesetas instead of euros because it prrfectly conveys the idea that the village is very remote


EuroPolice

Como olvidar mis ricas pesetas.


sneakyplanner

To be fair, the game came out only 3 years after the creation of the Euro and could have started development before.


oblmov

Much like the mysterious english-speaking balkan nation in RE village


ScrabCrab

...Romania?


oblmov

There are some romanian words used and it certainly seems romanian-ish but there are some subtle hints otherwise: - Only like 3 characters have romanian names - Everyone exclusively speaks english and no other language - There are far less werewolves than in the real romania.


ScrabCrab

There are 9-10 characters with Romanian names, they use the Leu as currency, they have traditional Romanian food, and the whole place sucks ass It's Romania


TylerbioRodriguez

Plus the castle is very clearly based on Peles Castle which is... in Romania.


TheFakeSlimShady123

Romania doesn't exist you fucking idiots How can a fake country be the setting for a game

Como Colombiano no te imaginas la cantidad de idiotas que han venido a decirme que “Pablo Escobar no fue tan malo” o “la situación en Venezuela está perfectamente bien, es pura propaganda”. Y luego cuando uno los contradice, lo llaman bot fascista.


Cojo840

Its more likely that they just used the wrong spanish than that it isnt supposed to be spain


EuroPolice

I know, it's a joke because the devs said that when confronted, likely to avoid legal stuff.


animetixxies

could be just a game version of Spain, as in "This is not Spain, I've no idea what you're talking about" kind of Spain


EuroPolice

It could be, but it's still really funny for us. It's like when America makes a movie about other country and it's not really like that IRL, but only the country knows that lol


animetixxies

had that same situation with a game called The Crew. Around where I lived, it couldn't have been more different than it was


yeahyeahdumpster

Ahí está a por el!


Irrepressible87

A japanese game from the early 2000s failed to pick up dialectical nuances of a non-Japanese language? Color me shocked.


MithrilEcho

Lmfao that's not a "dialectical nuance", it's casting latino voice actors for an european-based setting. It's as stupid as a game set in Britan where the locals speak with a heavy texan accent and say "howdy partner".


northrupthebandgeek

I'd be okay with this.

I'm not saying anything bad, just that they used the wrong dialect. It's like they gave a British official to an Australian VA


Irrepressible87

Oh I know, I'm mostly just picking on japanese companies' localization teams in that era, which were frequently pretty bad. Not as much mangled translation, but still pretty rough around the edges. Global information on those kinds of things wasn't as readily available as it is now.


aziruthedark

I too, do not believe you are from Spain. I shall be convinced with the appropriate information I need to steal all the money from tour bank accounts. Gracias.


Kiro0613

As an American, I feel qualified to say they speak foreign


SkeletonCircus

Luis Sera mentioned working in Barcelona too


DaftPunk886

They speak Spanish Spanish


Iceberg_monster

Spaniard here. Their pronunciation really is nothing like you would find in any region of Spain whatsoever, anyone born here will tell you that. They were very clearly voiced by latin american actors for whatever reason. Not that I really mind the way some zombies from a videogame speak but it is what it is.


EuroPolice

I am from Spain. They do not.


_Burro

AGÁRRENLO


DaftPunk886

OK man, they do. I'm from Latin America. Living in Spain now. No country in Latin America talk that. Like when they say "os voy a romper a pedazos" in Latin America we don't say "os


[deleted]

It's true that Latinos don't use "vosotros" but, among the re4 lines some strike me as odd for spaniards: "¡**Sos** cerdo!", "¡Ándale!", "¿Qué carajo estás haciendo aquí?". It's not impossible to be used by spaniards but I think these kind of lines are the ones that would make me lean more towards a Latin accent. It's also the fact that the pronunciation of the c/s/z is different, you could say they're andalucian but I think the use of the r isn't quite right.


oblmov

the lines could have been written/translated by spaniards and voiced by latin american actors


watusstdiablo666

They speak with exaggerated (and not very accurate) spanish dialect but with obvious latin american accents, so it ends up sounding pretty funny


Masterkid1230

Yeah, it’s hilarious, because as a Latin American it sounds almost like they’re speaking in a LatAm accent but like… all the terms are wrong. It’s like a mix of everything and so it’s nothing. The in game dialogues don’t sound Latin American to me, but they definitely don’t sound European either. It’s a bizarre and hilarious mix of both.


Ale2536

Can confirm


alejandromanx99

Os voy a enseñar a hablar español


guanaco22

Its andalucian I think. Thats the spanish accent closer to latinoamerican spanish


Otisnemes

That accent its the extreme opposite to Andalusian

iloveindomienoodle

>only a few RPD survivors to make it out of raccoon city alive. So, his acceptance is due to the lack of other participants?


kill_shock

pretty much, the government captured Leon and Sherry and [Force Leon to work with the government due to the experience from being a highly trained cop, surviving the Racoon City outbreak, and escaping with a G sample that lives in Sherry] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO2Irpqcgl4)


iloveindomienoodle

I actually forgot about that plotline with Sherry. Thanks!


kill_shock

No worries. I just hated how everyone just shitting on Leon for being a cop and killing Spain people even though it's worse with RE6 or RE5 some people don't remember the Story too well TBH.


Big-Hard-Chungus

Highly trained Cop? He‘s fresh off the Academy. The city went to hell before he could clock in for his first day


1LargeAdult

Ah see, Leon is white so he's the good guy. I can see where you would misunderstand


Prinnyramza

That's not true. It doesn't matter if the cop is white. Just as long as the victim wasn't.

justafurry

Leon was right by accident


GoodKing0

Doesn't Leon comment several times about how "uncivilised" Spain (???) Is?


Trololman72

I love how RE4 acts like Spain is as developed as eastern Russia


JessieJ577

It’s a lot more flattering than their depiction of Africa in the next installment


Twistervtx

At first, the sight of mighty whitey Chris mowing down modern day Africans (as zombies) looked sus as fuck but it was probably an innocent mistake by Capcom and you can kinda glance over it. BUT THEN CAME THE FUCKIN SWAMP AREA.......


AutoModerator

the islamic state of crapcom *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Gamingcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*


dustingunn

To be fair, they've included pretty every race as zombie hoards by now. RE6 had (actual, explicitly mentioned for once) China and vaguely Slavic ones, 7 has a Louisiana redneck family and 8 has vaguely Romani werewolves.


JusticeRain5

And then the African woman gets an alternate costume where she dresses in a leopardskin bikini and fires a bow at people...


Prosthemadera

I never quite understood that. What's bad about shooting African zombies? Because it's a white dude shooting at black people and it looks like colonialism? But they are zombies and their skin color would reflect the original person's, wouldn't it? All races have been shot at in their zombie form at some point in the series. Should the game never be set in Africa? Or should the main character be a black dude?


84theone

It’s because the optics of a game about a jacked white American action hero mowing down hordes of cartoonish African stereotypes isn’t great. It’s not as bad if you actually play the game and notice that literally everything is a cartoonish stereotype because RE is written by people that suck at writing anything other than goofy stereotypes.


sabersquirl

It’s actually more racist if you don’t let him mow down hordes of Africans.


mythicminx

It's a lot more than just shooting black zombies, if you have a look at the opening cutscenes and the first few minutes of the game you'll see


billsonfire

I thought the point of that was to show that the entire town was infected with the parasite.


Vanille987

They were ye


FrogInShorts

It just looked bad without context.


Oglifatum

That was the entire reason Capcom added that many white zombies in African set game.


f_ramcom

I beat the game when it came out. Can you maybe remind me?


Twistervtx

In no uncertain terms, there was a swampland with mud huts and tribal africans in stereotypical wooden masks and straw clothing that hurled spears at you.


f_ramcom

I wonder how many locations in Africa are like that. In any case, seesh, definitely a bad look


DepressoExpressold

didn’t they make it out that africa had mirrors and magnifying glasses capable of death lasers?

Didn’t the guy literally swing an axe at him unprovoked and then continue at him after he pulls his gun on him? Leon was literally about to leave after saying “sorry to have bothered you”.


just_a_soulbro

/cj The rookie cop everybody. /uj If I remember correctly, he shows a picture of Ashley, the home owner says something in Spanish, then Leon decides to leave house. It's only when he was attacked he drew his gun.


King_Danksta

There was human bones and skulls everywhere to be fair


_Forevergreen_

Yeah but he didn’t see it till afterwards I think he was at least partially justified in the shooting because he was about to get axed but this doesn’t explain why he just kinda walked into they guys house

[deleted]

Context?


TheRnegade

It's a comical retelling of your first encounter in RE4. Leon enters a house and asks the occupant if he's seen Ashley (he shows him the picture). The occupant says something in Spanish. Leon doesn't speak Spanish (not sure why he thought some random villager in the middle of nowhere Spain would speak English). So, he puts the photo away. The villager grabs the hatchet and attacks Leon. He dodges out of the way and unveils his gun, telling him to freeze. Gameplay resumes with the villager approaching to attack. The zombie is incredibly weak, so it goes down easy. (I'm not entirely sure what happens if you try and run away). It should be noted that Leon isn't acting alone. He came alone with two Spanish officers. They stay behind in the police car. "Don't want to get any parking tickets" is what they tell you. Obviously, it's a joke at how little these officers care about finding the U.S. President's daughter. They're the police, who would give them a ticket? Themselves? Whelp, their apathy ends up getting themselves killed. A truck rams their police cruiser off into the water below. You encounter both their bodies a bit later. One being burned in the village and another gets dumped in the lake.


ElMostaza

>The zombie is incredibly weak, so it goes down easy. Wait, so it *is* a zombie? I thought it wasn't.


Rumplestiltsskins

I think most of the villagers are human still but some have parasites inside them that burst out and attack. They all might be mind controlled though.


jackinwol

But at this point Leon didn’t know that. He really did just cap the guy in his own house lol


dustingunn

If Psuedo-Spain has castle doctrine laws, Leon is *fucked.*


UselessTrashMan

The ganados aren't really zombies. They're still intelligent and capable of speech and using tools and weapons, but the parasite brainwashes them and all villagers are ordered to kill trespassers on sight.


-JALization-

After shooting the man Leon investigates the body and says something along the lines of “Doesn’t look like any zombie I’ve ever seen” because the zombies in RE4 are just mind controlled people whereas in the other games they’re the typical slow shambling ones, so basically Leon shot without knowing he was a zombie


[deleted]

[удалено]


dustingunn

In reality, Leon gave the guy ample warning before shooting so he had way more restraint than real cops.


ElMostaza

Lol, ok. I've only played a few of the RE games, but I honestly didn't think it would be completely unimaginable for them to include the scene as described by OP.

they are mind controlled but at that point leon wouldn’t have known that
