Resident Evil 5

TristanHuwJones · 03-18-2009, 07:27 PM

Okay, I just beat the thing. Had fun playing it, but I enjoyed RE4 way more. Hopefully they don't beat this new system to death and have it become old hat like the original gameplay did. There wasn't really enough new to the gameplay, but I still had a lot of fun with it. It was good seeing RE4 and everything get tied closer together.

What'd everyone else think?

*Brodie* · 03-18-2009, 08:32 PM

I'm a huge RE fan, and I actually did enjoy RE4 a bit more as well. But I think thats mostly because it was so drastically different from the older games.

I did a couple playthroughs of RE5, and have to say, the co-op aspect really ads a lot to it. I zipped through this game much quicker than RE4, but enjoyed the hell out of it. And adding a co-op to Mercenaries? Genius.

Anyone up for Mercs later?

Once I get my internet speed back up to par, I may have to take you up on that. You playing on Ps3 or Xbox?

*Brodie* · 03-18-2009, 09:42 PM

Im playing it on 360

its a awesome action game but not a good survival zombie game

I really disliked RE4 for a lot of reasons, but somehow loved RE5 a lot more. It might be something about the co-op nature of it, but like I've said in the currently playing thread, there are certain things about the last 2 chapters that I severely dislike.

I'd say this is probably my second favourite RE game, and I've played all of them except 0 in the last month, or so. I like the REmake on Gamecube better, but they're such completely different experiences, I feel like I can't compare them.

*Storm Wolf* · 03-19-2009, 12:04 PM

I haven't played RE5 yet and for some reason I'm not all that hyped about it. I never did finish RE4....I found it to be a bit to challenging (yes I'm lame....sue me!) maybe that's why?

I really should pick RE4 back up and try it again ( I had the GC version at the time.) Maybe I'll be better this time around.

RE5 looks pretty awesome tho, and I'd be willing to give it a try if I weren't so dam poor....

I agree with you on the REmake. I still have the most fun playing RE2 though. I wish that would get the REmake treatment!

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.

I'd love it if the REmade RE2! I've always loved that one the best...even tho I have to admit the control was pretty wonky and it took a lot of getting used to so that you could move your character efficiently. RE2 is the reason I like the RE game series so much.

RE4 did have some difficult bosses...I found the "zombies" to be much more complex as well....which may have been why I didn't like it as much as I thought.

I liked Degeneration way more than the RE movie they made. They took a chance to make a live action and IMO screwed it up pretty badly. Even 2 was bad....they should have never tried to make it a Resident Evil movie if they weren't going to tie it in better.

I really liked Resident Evil 5. It was pretty good. In some of the clips, the characters looked almost real. Fighting Whesker was HARD. I mean really. It took me and my sister forever just beat him. We even shot him with a rocket and it didn't work. But we got him. Finally. The ending was cliché though. Other than that. I liked it.

*Brodie* · 03-19-2009, 05:34 PM

Im a little apprehensive about whats being said about RE6. Theyre saying itll be a complete reboot.

I don't know if thats style or substance, or just the series.

What about them?

*Hannah* · 03-19-2009, 05:38 PM

She called them zombies.

*Storm Wolf* · 03-19-2009, 10:14 PM

Hence the quotations around zombies....I knew they weren't Zombies, but for lack of an actual term that is what I called them. I would actually prefer if they were the old school RE1-2 zombies.

Gotta be so technical about a game. For Christ's sake.

*Hannah* · 03-19-2009, 10:16 PM

They are nothing like zombies. They f*cking talk to each other.

*Storm Wolf* · 03-19-2009, 10:27 PM

Other than you....who apparently has TO MUCH time on her hands....no one else really gave a sh*t that I didn't call them Granados....so why don't you go harass someone else with your bullsh*t technicality.

Hey I didn't call them Goombas...I called them Mushroom guys...got a problem with that too?

*Hannah* · 03-19-2009, 11:01 PM

Ganados. Not Granados.

*KROW* · 03-19-2009, 11:21 PM

I've always liked the term, "infected." It's universal, no matter how you slice it. So how 'bout we call them that and move on?
