History YMMV / ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles

** The Leech Queen is infuriating because players have to snipe its moving, minuscule weakspot to either stagger it (first phase) or make it vulnerable (second phase). Fail and it lunges at you, causing damage and reverting any progress that had been made. The battle can be trivialized with the Grenade Launcher, but ammo is so scarce you will probably have to stick with machine gun or handgun rounds for most of it.

** T.A.L.O.S., particularly with its second form's abundance of Press X to Not Die attacks, has major irritation potential.

** Rebecca and Billy Coen both have a go in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' scenario.

* OneSceneWonder: Ada and HUNK, two [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses]] from the fan favorite VideoGame/ResidentEvil2, are only playable for one chapter each.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Nemesis was the highlight of VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis, right down to the game's name. Here it only shows up for a single chapter and doesn't even get to go OneWingedAngel before being unceremoniously killed by Jill and Carlos in a rather underwhelming boss fight.

** Richard Aiken was one from the original game is featured in a chapter as a NPC partner for one of Rebecca Chambers' segments and receives a little bit of a tragic background reasoning for joining S.T.A.R.S.
** Rebecca and Billy Coen both get a go in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' scenario and the fans to this day desperately await the day they will come back in another title in the main storyline of the series.

* NewerThanTheyThink: ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' was actually the first game with Creator/DCDouglas voicing Albert Wesker.

* ScrappyMechanic: The player must replay certain levels and score an A rank in order to unlock the final level, adding an unnecessary layer of padding in the eyes of many. This was removed in ''The Darkside Chronicles''.

* ThatOneLevel: Umbrella's End Chapter 2. The once-per-level life spray is not in an immediately obvious location, and herbs are not positioned very intelligently (showered in them when you don't need them, nothing but ammo and more goddamned Hunters when you do).

** Hunters too: ''big'', agile, fast, and fond of leaping attacks.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Fan favorite [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 HUNK]] is back and gets his own chapter in the game which is like an updated version of ''The 4th Survivor''. He also gets some very memorable lines in the game as well.

* ScrappyMechanic: The player must replay certain levels and score an A rank in order to unlock the final level, adding an unnecessary layer of padding in the eyes of many. Thankfully removed in ''The Darkside Chronicles''.

** Richard Aiken was one from the original game is featured in a chapter as a NPC partner for one of Rebecca Chamber's segments and receives a little bit of a tragic background reasoning for joining S.T.A.R.S. He was largely thanks the the remake of the first game, but it's official now in that Richard Aiken is officially the series's {{Woobie}}

* GoddamnedBats: The leeches in '"Train Derailment, small spiders in Mansion Incident and the roaches in Raccoon's Destruction have the potential to be like this but only a small number of them actually attack, they cause no damage unless you leave them on, and can be removed with a simple swipe of the knife. It's mainly if you're overwhelmed by other enemies at the same time that they become annoying. Played straight with the crows.

* {{Narm}}:
** After Plant 42 has lobbed acid at Chris and Jill and lashed out at them with its vines:
-->'''Chris:''' Be careful, [[CaptainObvious I'm sure it's dangerous]].
** The last part of the second level and almost all of the third level of Raccoon's Destruction thanks to weird dialogue and programming errors. The last part of the second level is running from a group of Hunters in a dark corridor, and during it, Carlos proclaims he won't let anything bad happen to Jill. When the level ends he suddenly shoouts "We're screwed!" as it fades out. But depending on how well you do, he can shout "We're screwed!" practically a few seconds after he heroically proclaims to protect Jill.
** As for the third level? Well first off, when Carlos and Jill hide from Nemesis inside the morgue (And summarily gun down an army of zombies thanks to making the stupid decision to hide in a frigging morgue during a ZombieApocalypse), they both step out to an empty corridor, leading to Jill randomly saying "I think so too." And no, Carlos says absolutely nothing to indicate that the coast was clear (He didn't need to) yet Jill just randomly spouts that out with no context whatsoever.
** THEN when Carlos and Jill are running around the Front Hall's balcony, they see Nemesis down below, holding a rocket launcher. Resulting dialogue:
-->'''Jill''': [[NonSequitur It looks that way.]]
-->'''Carlos''': [[OhCrap AGAIN?! Now what?!]]
** This would be a fairly standard dialogue piece on its own but a programming error leads to Jill's line coming first and as a result, lacks context and makes her look a bit schizophrenic, almost as if she says this to every big monster she comes across that doesn't go down in one bullet. And THEN it pops up in the last Nemesis encounter before the boss fight, with Jill saying the exact same line (The exact same vocal, too) with the exact same lack of context and programming error.
-->'''Jill''': [[NonSequitur It looks that way.]]
-->'''Carlos''': [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat He survived that?!]]
** Carlos' line is hilarious too considering that you blow up Nemesis' rocket launcher while he's holding it. Carlos, when you accomplish that, triumphantly claims "Even he couldn't have survived THAT!"...except you can clearly see Nemesis is merely kneeling in the classic weary pose with only the mild smoke being any indicator, and Nemesis is still clearly moving a little, therefore clearly survived THAT. I think you overestimate your chances, Carlos.

** Jill and Carlos' reaction to seeing Nemesis very much alive after being blasted with an exploding grenade set just before the boss battle in the third level of Raccoon's Destruction:

** While it'd be a standard bit of dialogue if they were the right way around, a programming error leads to Jill's line coming first and sounding very much out-of-nowhere and quite funny, actually.

* DemonicSpiders: Lickers and Eliminators. They're small, agile, fast, and fond of leaping attacks.

* BadassAbnormal: Wesker after taking Birkin's mutagen. He manages to finally kill the NighInvulnerable ImplacableMan Lisa Trevor, and in ''Dark Legacy'' he takes on ''two'' Ivans at once and destroys them both. Debatebly a BadassLongcoat during the opening cutscene for ''Dark Legacy''.
* BadassNormal:
** Before taking Birkin's mutagen Wesker manages to battle an Ivan, a Mr. X with armor-plating and human intelligence, to a standstill.
** Chris and Jill manage to destroy the Tyrant-Armored Lethal Organic System through sheer guts and weight of bullets.

* {{Jossed}}: EpilepticTrees grew wild over the prospect of the identity of the character played in the unlockable "special stage". Knowledge that it was a blonde-haired female pointed most directly at [[ResidentEvil2 Sherry Birkin]], or towards Rebecca, but when ''[=RE5=]'' came out, her identity was shown to be [[spoiler:Jill]] instead.
