A lot of people complain about it not being as good as RE4 and I honestly don't understand why. I know your going to say "It was scarier" or "It didn't have coop." When I played it I was shocked by how fun and smooth the controls were compared to 4. Yeah RE4 was good, but the coop makes RE5 a lot more fun in my opinion, and I also don't get why it people put it down because it wasn't exactley what they were expecting. Almost everyone loved RE4 so you knew that it was going to have the same kind of gameplay, but people still complained about that. It's just that I can't stand people saying it was not close to as good as RE4 when they were practically identical.

(You know what else I never got, why does every resident evil have to be all gloomy, it just makes no sense. There's zombies outside but they decide that we're going to kill zombies for one week when the weather is bad and maybe at night just for a challange. lol)

RE5 was good, it wanst a 9 or 10 but it was a solid 8.5.

People bitch for nothing...  It was the same thing with Resistance 2.

meh there r too many threads on this..

I think what people where getting at is that Resident evil changed genre.Resident evil 4 changed it from a survival horror to and action shooter and as a shooter it was a good game, but the "Original style" Resident evil fans didn't like it so much well not as a resident evil game anyway.

You've made this thread before....

you are not the only one. there are plenty gamers who like generic shooters!

I had a lot of fun playing through it with a friend. We were making fun of how ridiculous the game was a lot of the time, but it's good for a playthrough or two.

I think some of the detractors tried to play by themselves and got frustrated with the AI (mistake), or simply didn't like that RE basically became just another shooter. I personally could have done without the Gears of Evil sections near the end when you encounter the zombies with guns. That said, the Volcano scene with Wesker was one of the most lol-inducing finales ever. Boulder punching? Check. Nonsense QTEs? Check. Overall I enjoyed it though.

resistance 2 was an amazing game, best multiplayer ever.

Well, after playing 4 with wii controls... RE5 was very lackluster in the gameplay part. Shooters without a mouse or a wiimote, imo, always lack in that area.

Move might be able to change that with the special edition or something.
