This is how Chris should have looked in 5.

I thought he looked just fine...

His arms look a lot better here as does his face. RE5's Chris was a response to all the RE4 Leon haters.

With RE5, Chris goes from a ridiculously over skilled and talented bastard to being almost a joke.

Well, I speak as a newcomer to Resident Evil when I say I liked RE5 Chris just the way he was. Dunno the history of the character and I don't really care.
