Alright at any rate I seem to e convinced that Resident Evil 6 takes place before 5. As much as I would like for it to take place after I think I have to face some hard facts. Capcom may be evil, but they're not stupid. They can count at the very least. It doesn't take a brain dead monkey to realize that 10 years after 1998 is one year before RE5.
Dammit life is cruel. And so is Capcom.
