Forums - Gaming Discussion - G4TV tears RE5 apart

Was curious as to metacritic scores, and saw that G4TV had given RE5 the worst score. I went on to read the review -

http://g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1944/Resident-Evil-5-Review.html

 

In the synopsis, Adam states:

"Alright this review has been decidedly cranky-pants so it is worth reiterating that the game has its high points, especially the astonishing visuals and the effectiveness of co-op play.  Resident Evil 5 is mired in poor design decisions that drag down the experience and render single-player campaign a tedious exercise in working around the game.  It’s frustrating to see a game that I so looked forward to playing and carried with it such potential, sabotage itself in so many ways.  Compared against the ambition of games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Assassin’s Creed; Resident Evil 5 seems timid, unwilling to move out of its comfort zone.  It’s a shame."

I'm wondering how many people might be turned off. There's also a review on a much less relevant USA Today, which blasts the controls for RE5. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/03/64022497/1

Im still waiting on a PC version for this game, and hoping they allow mouse support, unlike RE4 for the PC.

These guys wouldn't know a good game if it slapped them in the face.

I heard RE5 isn't as scary as the others and that is only 7-8 hours long.

Ouch. Watching made me think they wanted Gears of Evil but got Resident Evil 4.5..



Pixel Art can be fun.

You know how tasters use water to remove the taste of the last thing they tasted ready for the next?

There needs to be something similar for games testers.

Maybe they need to spend a day playing Shaq Fu before they start reviewing a game.
