American musician and actor Ice-T admitted that the boss fight with a spider in the new Resident Evil 9 causes him severe stress. Earlier, many players with arachnophobia also encountered overwhelming fear while playing through this episode.
Grammy-winning rapper Ice-T ran into difficulties while playing the horror game Resident Evil Requiem. On his social media, the musician left an emotional message: "Resident Evil 9... To hell with that spider".
Earlier, the performer praised the game, noting that it reminded him of the first installment of the franchise. However, he admitted that the playthrough is not coming easily to him: "It stresses me out badly. You know it\'s bad when you start dreaming about this ****!".
The frightening episode unfolds in the ruins of Raccoon City, where the main character Leon Kennedy enters an area completely covered in webs. According to journalists, the battle with this boss has triggered mass complaints from gamers suffering from arachnophobia. On forums, users are actively asking for instructions on how to kill the spider quickly, and some admit they are forced to play without glasses or on a small TV screen to reduce their level of fear.
Resident Evil Requiem does not have a built-in mode for people with a fear of spiders. However, PC enthusiasts have already released a modification that replaces the giant monster with a smiling Thomas the Tank Engine.
Ice-T is known as an avid gamer and a fan of the Call of Duty and Fallout series. In addition, he has lent his voice to characters in Gears of War 3, GTA: San Andreas, and Borderlands 3. Soon, his virtual experience fighting monsters may come in handy in movies: the rapper is starring in the Australian action comedy "Zombie Plane" together with Chuck Norris and Vanilla Ice.
