I wasn't going to get it but then I said that about 5 and now I own it. I like Mercs mode a lot and making it multiplayer sealed the deal for me on 5. Once I gave it a shot 5 wasn't so bad. I'll probably end up with it, maybe not at launch but I will eventually. I like games I can play with my friends as I don't have much time for games these days.

Making mercenaries multilayer was one of the best moves they could've made. Not only that, but you can go it solo if you want. The improved mobility in 6 makes mercenaries even better if you've seen any of the game play videos of it.

*Spitfire* · 09-10-2012, 01:32 AM

I have. If you're a horror fan the RE series has probably long since pissed you off as it's moving further and further from actual horror. This has helped with the controls though. It seems to be tradition for horror games to control like crap, a cheap way of making the game scarier I think. This is coming from someone who loves the first 3, Nemesis is my favorite. These new RE games have been moving closer and closer to standard 3rd person shooter controls which has been a good thing. Hilarious to imagine they pretty much invented the 3rd person shooter but never got the controls right.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-10-2012, 01:35 AM

The original is still the scariest one to me. Everything from the music, to the enemies (don't care that each type of enemy was just repeated a zillion times throughout the game), to the atmosphere.

Best dialogue ever <3 Nothing beats Barry's lines, though.

*Spitfire* · 09-10-2012, 01:36 AM

Nothing beats the awesome live action intro featuring an all porn star cast.

Memphis · 09-10-2012, 01:38 AM

I agree about the horror, obviously it'll never get as scary as the first three games again (My heart still beats out of my chest when I play 3 and hear Nemesis break down a wall across the level and start running towards me screaming) but I hope they make an attempt with Leon's chapter at least. Revelations surprisingly had some pretty good scares in it as well.

I had to neglect killing enemies as Chris to get through the game as him. Damn crimson heads...

Loved Barry's beard in the original live action intro XD

"I like the buddy system we have here." *While taking the next minute to stare at his revolver from different angles*

*Spitfire* · 09-10-2012, 01:46 AM

I was playing RE 3 with headphones on once. I was in the police station at the part where Nemesis crashes through the window. I had the volume up so loud that when he came through the window I about fell out of my chair. My own fault for being careless but it still scared the hell out of me because I wasn't expecting it. This was after beating the game several times too.

Barry was very interested in a Jill sandwich.

Memphis · 09-10-2012, 01:49 AM

I heard that revolver he carries around is really powerful. Especially against living things.

*Spitfire* · 09-10-2012, 01:56 AM

I think his statue in RE 5 has a hilarious catch phrase "I have this!" but Rebecca is my favorite. "I'm Rebecca! OH NO!" It's like she's self aware of how badly she sucks.

I heard Jill is the master of unlocking things...

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-10-2012, 01:58 AM

'Rebecca? Is that you?'

'It's me, Chris'.

Not like she is standing right there.

Memphis · 09-10-2012, 02:00 AM

I heard Jill shouldn't open that door in the mansion... Though, on a more serious note, what is up with all the holding back on deaths now? Resident Evil 4 was amazing for deaths, but everything after that is just fall over and die. No decapitations, no broken necks, no anything. The Garrador head and torso impale by far being the best. Leon's agony when he gets stabbed in the head is hard to listen to.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-10-2012, 02:07 AM

Took the WWE route and went PG, ha.

I still watch the RE 4 death collection on youtube. Some of the best game deaths ever.

Memphis · 09-10-2012, 02:08 AM

I'm watching it right now. Brutal. The insect things in the castle, when they vomit the acid on you and you die and half of Leon's face is gone makes me cringe.

*Spitfire* · 09-10-2012, 02:12 AM

That reminds me of that bug thing in RE 5. It was in the Mine level on Mercs. Damn thing always used to sneak up on me. It would rip me apart.

Memphis · 09-10-2012, 02:16 AM

By far the hardest mini boss in the mercs mode. His damn grab was a one hit kill no questions asked. And hitting his weak points could be tough. Lost many combos because I couldn't beat that thing fast enough XD

*Turo602* · 09-10-2012, 03:07 AM

Best death from RE5.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-10-2012, 07:31 AM

A lot of people hate Sheva (I am not a fan of hers, either), but I didn't find her to be THAT awful. She was a little stupid sometimes and I ended up shooting her in the back of the head because she would walk in front of me while I am trying to blow away an enemy.

Happy to see the AI in RE6 seems to be a lot smarter and fends for themselves.

So, did you like Operation Raccoon City? Because that's what it felt like for the most part and that game is TRASH.

Moving and shooting is a decent idea but not with the people they apparently have on the project. It all feels like a pieced together rush job cash in.

I don't know, I think people exaggerate when it comes to her A.I. It wasn't THAT bad. I rarely had any problems with her, if any. Overall, I didn't mind her as a character, but I don't think she ever needs to return. After all, she wasn't meant have as big of role as she ended up getting. Which isn't really saying much, she barely had any plot relevance in the final game.

Wesker: Chris....

Wesker: Poor deluded Chris.

Wesker: Things are really getting interesting now, eh Chris?

Wesker: CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!

Did he ever mention Sheva? It's like she wasn't even there! It also really sucks that Sheva was the one who brought down Wesker with Chris. That should of been Jill. Of course, Chris is going to take all the credit for killing Wesker now... That's how much Sheva exist.

Resident Evil 5 could of really been something amazing. Too bad it had to be dumbed down. A lot of the concepts sounded a lot better than what we ended up getting. Even the early 2007 build looked great.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-10-2012, 08:42 PM

With Operation: Raccoon City, I like all modes, but multiplayer is FAR more fun. I like sneaking up on people with Vektor in camo mode, staring at my enemy hiding behind a table, and then surprising him with bullets.

I like single player campaign when I want to take my time finding everything I need. Other than that, I would rather play with friends.
