You can spot the noobs to the RE series because they think RE4 was a better RE game than RE5.

What?

As a survival horror, Resident Evil 4 is at least 7 times better than Resident Evil 5.

That is like saying as a movie a comic is better than a book.  Neither is survival horror.

 

Besides, RE5 was closer to survival horror than RE4.  Had much more rationed ammo drops and item space than RE4, as well as constant pressure in a always 'live' world, RE4 would stop for almost everything killing any pressure.  RE4 wasn't survival horror at all, RE5 took away large inventories so no more being a walking arsenal with every type of weapons with lots of ammo for all of them and lots of health items all at once, on Pro RE5 reduced ammo drops incredibly, health item droprates decreased, you couldn't upgrade health anymore, armour actually takes up an inventory slot...all shifting RE5 more towards survival horror traits.

 

People seemingly forget the moments like sneaking past Lickers who will attack if you get too close or make too much noise.

 

...and hey lets forget about Lost in Nightmares entirely.  No survival horror there, apparently.

RE4 was actually scary at parts. RE5 wasn't.

And I find it funny that you have to add in the RE5 expansion to make RE5 have some survival horror. Really funny.
