Among MANY other things, yes. It was the conspiracy aspect of it that was appealing.
Realistically speaking, let's say you have this bad company like... Well, like Los Illuminados. They're not putting on a friendly face for everyone. The scenario of RE4 was stupid in that, Leon goes in, asks about Ashley, then bam, a whole village attacks him. Now, by THEN, the smart thing to do would've been, "Hunnigan. There's some hostiles. Send backup. Lots of backup. A military plane full of paratroopers." And they wouldn't have a problem with it, because it's not like in their eyes, Los Illuminados were friendly.
That's why the classic RE scenario was so much more appealing. It's like, a big team enters the mansion, those who don't get slaughtered, come out alive, go back to the RPD, and people either didn't believe them, or were already in cahoots with Umbrella, and tried to suppress STARS. So because of that, STARS couldn't call in a full on cavalry on Umbrella.
Now, if Wesker was to re-establish Umbrella, there's no way it's gonna have a friendly face. So what's keeping Chris from calling on a full on squad of 50 guys, instead of fighting off 100 Africans on his own? It's just not interesting anymore.

Well, I simply don't like it when... Okay, it's like, imagine you got a storyline as you know it. And then they basically rewind it back to the beginning and introduce new stuff to it, that we're supposed to pretend like it was there the whole time.
Basically the new villain, Sergei Vladimir. They introduced him like he was supposed to be there the whole time. They show him in the RE0 scenario, then in the RE1 scenario, where he's right in the Mansion, stealing a BOW that was supposed to be there the whole time (which ends up being the final boss). And I hate that, because it changes the whole perception of the storyline. They showed me Remake, as it was. Great. As far as REmake is concerned. There was no Sergei Vladimir in the mansion, there was the Tyrant and no other ultra-powerful one of a kind BOW. Now that they introduced those elements, it changed the whole view of how I see the storyline. And I hated that.
Plus they killed ALL the mystery behind Wesker, who they portrayed horribly. First of all, they reveal all the little details about how he was resurrected, and how he escaped the mansion. Which was better off as a mystery. And like I said, he was portrayed horribly. Like, while you play as Wesker, seeing as how he travels alone, he narrates to HIMSELF. Which surpasses anything you might've considered cheesy in RE in the past. He'd be walking around like, "Oh, my new powers are amazing!" "Ah, I see you're still alive." It's very lame.
Let's say I don't like the events which happened in RE4. RE4 is there on its own. But Umbrella Chronicles actually tried involving the events of the previous games which I DID like. And as a result, it made me lose my love for REmake, RE2, RE3, etc. It almost ruined the series for me. If I hadn't gotten rid of it, there was a chance I might've not been able to play RE ever again, even the older games.
It's already happened with Final Fantasy 7, after all the spinoffs and sequels (although that's my fault for actually WATCHING/PLAYING them.) I can't play it anymore, Square killed it for me. And I noticed that the same thing started happening with Resident Evil. So I got rid of RE4 and UC before the other games were ruined for me. And guess what? I once again regained my love for Remake, RE2, RE3 etc.
