| perpride said: People who have ridiculous expectations from a video game end up being the ones that complain. RE5 is an amazing title and builds on the winning formula of the last game. Any criticism towards it should have gone towards RE4. |
Bolded; I find it funny that many of those who complain about RE5 are the same folks who propose to dub RE4 the "best RE of all time" and, indeed, the majority seem to think that RE4 is in fact the best RE of all time. Why is it so bad to take the features that made RE4 superb into RE5 as well then? The old ones certainly had their flaws; repetetive gameplay, "hallway gameplay" (where devs make the game long by forcing you to run back and forth to get keys or other bits and pieces and add long straight stretches with no other intention than having you spend time running, Mass Effect is also guilty of the latter), obscene load times, extremely clunky controls, bad dialogue (mainly the first one) and rather less replay value than many other genres (of course, the spook factor of a survival/horror game wanes which lends body to this phenomenon as well).
PS: This isn't directed at you perpride, I get the feeling we're on the same page, I'm just having a hard time figuring out what all the whining is about. RE5, to me, is among the best action titles I've played in many years and has, arguably, the best co-op this gen since Gears of War (mind you, the single player experience gets butchered because of the AI).
