Oh damn, I guess Resident Evil 4 was my first "real" experience in the RE universe as well. My friend used to play Resident Evil 3 at my house and he showed me pretty much everything about the game. I thought it was ordinary at first and I've heard about RE 4 a couple of years later. I didn't even bother to check a single review at that time... And then that same friend got RE 4. He showed me a bunch of parts from the game. It interested me more and more, but I never really got the chance to try it myself, alone, late at night.
A couple of weeks ago (for my birthday!), I discovered what made RE 4 a masterpiece, and I clearly understand why it's considered one of the best games ever. The story, the new gameplay and camera system is definitely what makes the game shine. Sure, I've noticed that they've removed some of the little item puzzles that were there in every other RE games, but I guess it's to make up for the fact that it has become more like an action game than a survival horror game.
I've been a fan of the series ever since I've got my hands on this game. I've played every other RE games out there that I've missed and I'm glad I finally got into the series! I'll be getting Umbrella Chronicles soon that's for sure.
I'll certainly be waiting for Resident Evil 5 to come out for the Wii...! =P
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
