Kyliedog - How was RE4's story not RE related? It was about the source of the virus you see in RE5 and how it got into the hands of Wesker to begin with. If we claim RE4's story was not RE related, then we'd have to say the same thing about RE5. I won't argue with whether the story was better told because that is completely prespective. As far as replay value goes, there is absolutley none in RE5 because they practically hand you unlimited ammo for every gun once you run through the game once. There is absolutley no reward in playing the game in the hardest difficulty without using unlimited ammo. The way the saves work is extremely fraud in that it lets you cheat yourself to billions of free gold. Most everything you mentioned is something that RE5 took from RE4, tried to make better, but fell short of or barely improved. I completely agree with the survival aspect because the Leon Arsenal was indeed fraud, but RE5 was not scary at all. It is still an amazing game and I'd probably even drop it a 9/10, but it does not have anything in RE4.
