Note I'm not trolling, this is my honest oppion. I own both games ah screw it I get banned when I sneeze literally.
I cannot stress how excited I was for these two titles. I still regularly play Street Fighter 3 on my dreamcast and an arcade in Melbourne City. I'v finished Resident Evil 4 at least 5 times. So naturally the sequals to these two games must truley be the pinnacle of gaming and carry the torch that these games lit on much weaker hardware right?
Nope. Lets start with Street Fighter 4.
1- The graphics are ugly. Facial expressions and motion blur are the only highlight of this engine because lets face it, its slow, clunky and every character is WAY TO BIG.
2- Hit detection is shit and priority grabs are bullshit.
3- No parrying? Why, you hate fast offensive gameplay? That stupid concentration charge attack is too slow and can be seen a mile coming away.
4- One special per character. Revenge is the same special but more stronger. What, the, hell. Street Fighter 3 had THREE specials per character.
5- Is there a soundtrack or variety in level design at all in this game? Nope. Ok excpet the intro.
6- Capcom jibbed us on new characters, we got 13, count it THIRTEEN new characters in Street Fighter 3. You had TEN YEAR gap to think of what four new characters? YOU HAVE SIX CHARACTERS WITH ALL THE SAME FIGHTING STYLE FOR GODS SAKE.
7- The games balance is in the bin, face it I beat the entire game by spamming zangiefs spinning lariot.
8- The animated films are lazy and give nothing back in story.
9- SETH is unbalanced and not fair in any advantage. The game BEGS you to cheat because it sure does.
Still its not as bad as Mortal Kombat vs DC. But honestly as a street fighter fan and fighting game fanatic this is just crap, we waited ten years for literally a DOWNGRADE of everything. Screw it, the new king of fighters is going to wipe this games face across the floor.
Now to Resident Evil 5.
I played through on Co-op and the majority of the time I argued with my girlfriend because this game is not enjoyable in any sense.
1- Loved the suitcase and easy management of all your items, out the window that goes with a smaller inventory with shitty layout designs. No I DONT want to equip my herbs I want to use it straight away. I want to PAUSE my game and organise myself, not force myself to run away so I can get my stuff organised and hope the enemys don't chase me.
2- Hey it plays like Resident Evil 4...too bad those controls are slow, clunky and after Dead Space as well Gears of War it NEEDED to be updated. Cover System sucks and the controls are NOT up to the task of you fighting against large amount of enemys (or enjoying yourself) in anyway.
3- Hey Capcom psst I got a secret for you...its called pacing. Going straight into the hectic gunfight with more of the same over and over isn't pacing.
4- The enemys take WAY to many bullets to kill. I know this was done because of co op but when I'm checking my watch or even having the person I'm playing with ask ""Can we go to next level now? Because this is getting boring"" is NOT a good sign of good game design.
5- The bosses suck or dumbed down. OH NO ITS A GIANT! ITS NOT LIKE IT TOOK ONE PERSON TO KILL IT IN THE LAST GAME! QUICK INTO THE JEEP AND PRESS THE WIN BUTTON!
6- No weapon seller or special treasure collecting? Go to hell Capcom.
7- I have to PAY for the online multiplayer despite I already PAY FOR XBOX LIVE?
8- When actually playing with the AI its absolutly window licking retarded.
9- Enemy variety? I guess capcom was just to busy cramming in as much racism to actually think of new enemys.
This game is one of the pinnacle of whats wrong with this generation of gaming. With all that technology time and money you make a WORST game. Despite Resident Evil 4 inspired a lot of developers and others took what it did and improved on it, Capcom sat back and said ""fuck it"" like Street Fighter 4 its nothing new or even TRY but because you got your pretty graphics most of the gaming community will stand up and start applauding it.
These games don't deserve the number at the end of there names or mentioned in the same sentance as the other games that actually pushed the series forward. Not back.
