The reason I am not buying DS:E or RE:DC is because they are on rails. I never got RE:UC because of this reason. I hate on rails games. I even hate them in the arcades.
I do have RE4 and thought it was good. Madworld and Conduit, while short, were good and I'm glad I bought them. To me, it's simple. Make a good game, not a half-hearted attempt at one, and it will probably do better.
Muramasa is up next! I cannot wait!
