IMHO, I don't think violence is the main point of Resident Evil, it's more about the horror/suspense.

A bit different than mindless violence as in e.g., GTA, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

I agree that RE is not as bad as GTA, but I don't care what adults do in their free time, and children shouldn't be playing GTA period. I don't think you can seriously make the argument that RE isn't a violent game though.

The "point", or motivation, isn't all that relevant. You're still shooting things in the face and getting your throat torn out while you writhe in pain, so let's keep the goalposts in place.
