8 Times Video Game Enemies Went Places They Shouldn't
3. Mr X - Resident Evil 2
Capcom knocked it out of the park with the 2019 reimagining of Resident Evil 2; a beautiful, dark and thrilling megahit that revitalised interest in the series. At the forefront of all the internet chatter was the brilliantly terrifying rebirth of Mr X.
X was gon’ give it to ya, if “it” was a large, grey fist to the chops.
Your only respite from the stalking, stomping Tyrant are save rooms. Here you can take a spell to figure out your next move and listen to the sound of creature’s thudding footsteps as he frustratingly walks around the RPD in search of something to take his rage out on.
This one is a bit of a cheat since Mr X can’t actually step foot into the save room, but he can freak players the hell out by sticking his head in to make sure Leon and Claire are alright in there.
If you stand in the doorway and the Tyrant is nearby, he’ll try to come stomping at you, but no matter what he can’t break the boundary entirely. For a second he’ll poke his head in, resulting in an emptied bladder at the possibility that for a second Mr X has broken the cardinal rule.
