Resident Evil 5 - Page 2

Resident Evil hasn't been Resident Evil since RE3, so...

This game looks really nice, though. Too bad it doesn't play very well. The controls are clunky and it's just a Gears of War wannabe. But I haven't played the whole game, so my opinion isn't that important.

Nor would it be of any importance anyways. <3

...except that it's a carbon copy of RE4 Gameplay wise.

I agree with the RE3 statement. I did enjoy Zero though...

I'll agree that the last few chapters suffer from the GoW-wannabe syndrome. It feels like Capcom wanted to make a grab for that ever-present console shooter audience. Which is a shame, honestly.

Especially considering it's such a stupid name to begin with.

I didn't really have any problems with RE4 outside of the ridiculous bosses towards the end. I had similar problems with the boat boss in RE5. What was it (generally) that kind of put you off it?

I think story wise, RE5 does a great job of making 4 fit in with the overall grander scheme of things, but I really wish that with all that hinting of Umbrella and the founders that there was more T and G virus stuff going on. I liked that there was a lot of linking between Zero, 4 and this one though.

Did you ever get the impression that Billy Cohen might have something to do with these African operations?

I'm going to have to watch Degeneration now too.

In terms of what put me off of RE4, it had a lot to do with the setting and the way the game looked. Everything felt like it was smeared in sh*t to me, and it was just constantly depressing all the time, which meant that I couldn't play it very long before I had to stop because the setting started to get to me. And the biggest offender to me was Ashley. I really can't stand escort missions, and considering the game becomes one big escort mission the moment you retrieve Ashley, I couldn't take it anymore. The moment she got chased up a little path, stuck in a steel trap, and beat on by the locals, I quit. I have no patience for that type of thing.

I agree I wish there was more T and G virus stuff going on, but you gotta admit that when the

Spoiler:

showed up, it was totally awesome.

Brodie and I were actually talking about Billy being in RE5 the other night during our veteran run over Live. It would have been neat.

And you should totally watch Degeneration. It's not fantastic, but it is a pretty neat little movie. It's got all the stuff involving Tricell and what-not in there, so it's definitely relevant.

*Brodie* · 03-20-2009, 12:00 PM

After a 4 hour run through of RE5, I dont know how long itll be before I try Professional.

Also, Rhen, your opinion doesn't matter. Especially since Code Veronica and the REmake were after RE3. Both are classic/classy RE games.

I'm just saying, everyone should know by now that Hannah says stupid things.

Getting all offended is like being mad at a retarded kid for being retarded.

*Brodie* · 03-20-2009, 01:14 PM

That's completely valid. The retard thing.

Ah, yes, you do have me there. I was thinking in terms of numbers, not time duration. But either way, RE really does need that reboot they keep talking about.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-22-2009, 12:52 AM

RE4 was a classic, but I'm tired of every single damned game looking like a muddy brown American-ized shooter. Everything has become so damn generic that it's starting to bleed together, and that's really putting me off from playing RE5.

*Brodie* · 03-22-2009, 12:54 AM

That and you'd probably never finish it.

You don't have to keep justifying your lack of game playing to us anymore. We all know you don't play sh*t. It's cool, man.

RE5 also isn't muddy at all, it's actually super bright, which is one of the reasons it doesn't feel much like a RE game. I will agree that the "third-person shooter with a cover system" sh*t NEEDS to end at this point. I'm so worn out on shooters in general, but this fad drives me f*cking insane.

I really get tired of that. I slacked off on my games because life swallowed me up and spit me out. You try raising your little sister, taking care of your disabled Dad, balanced with work and still find time for every release.

Right now I'm trying to finish Bioshock, Uncharted, and all the rest of the tickets in Motorstorm 2 because I have a few days off before the editorial blitz of GDC and tax time. After that, no more games for a month as I'll be moving the family to a new house.

Peanut · 03-22-2009, 01:09 AM

What did I just say? I said you don't have to keep justifying yourself, then you went ahead and did it again. I'm not talking down to you because you don't have time to play games, I'm tell you that you don't have to keep coming up with reasons you don't.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-22-2009, 01:10 AM

Fair enough.
