The Resident Evil (5) discussion thread (NOT the platform)

[Slash]

The obstacle for about 90% of the gamers is the control scheme. But if you get that down (after an hour intensive RE you should be able to run around no problem!) it's a great SURVIVAL HORROR game:) I know this first hand because I turned all my friends into Resident Evil fans by forcing them to give it a try for longer then 5 minutes (overcoming the control part) and they loved it! We began organizing Resident Evil nights and bought a shit load of half liter beers and played all night passing the controler down. I remember one of them didn't dare to play anymore because everytime he got the controler something freaky happend (read the damn dogs through the windows;)) Great times.
It's also a game that if fun eventhough you are watching someone else play. You feel the atmosfere and the tension of the player and try to help them with the puzzles (think zack and wiki helping with puzzles:)). It's great. Didn't really get that with RE4 because everything was the same and straight forward. You just got the feeling your seeing some shooting frenzy.

I recommend RE and RE:0 for gamecube to everyone that likes the following:
-A good story (it's more complicated then it seems, search wikipedia if you must)
-Horror
-Survival
-Puzzling
-Tension
-Graphics
-Exploration

although it is recommended that you have a strong will because you can get stuck ALOT and the game runs at a rather slow pace with alot of backtracking. YOu must remember alot.
