Since we last spoke, I've battled my way through Resident Evil 5's wormy monstrous hordes with Sheva at my side and was relieved and excited to face the final showdown with Wesker. And what a showdown it is. I successfully battled him on the ship and survive the quicktime events aboard the aircraft. Now, crashlanded on an active volcano, I am stuck. About 2/3 of the way through what I imagine is the truly final fight, I am unable to proceed. Wesker's big mutated arm and wormy armor continues to best me. As I see the "You Are Dead" screen fade-in over the action and press X to start over from the last checkpoint, I can't help but wonder if it's worth it. Is the closing cinema of this game going to be so excellent that I should muster all my skills (and any tips I can find online) to lay this villain to rest? Are there any other awards or achievements that I gain from finishing the very very end of the game? I know it should be a matter of pride and I am struggling with the ethical issue of whether I deserve any feeling of accomplishment if I don't lay this beast to rest truly and completely. I guess I am convincing myself here to do the right thing. Hopefully when I post next I'll be able to report that I've beaten the game...

On The Precipice with Resident Evil 5 (Spoilers, maybe?)
