I loved Resident Evil 2 and thought it deserved to be game of the year more than Metal Gear Solid back in 1998. I kinda forced myself to finish Resident Evil 3 and Code Veronica. I purchased RE on the Gamecube and Resident Evil Zero. Old school Resident Evil fans, I'VE PLAYED YOUR GAMES AND I LOVED THEM until the formula got old. Now, I purchased Resident Evil 4 as many times as legally allowable and I loved it every time. I purchased Resident Evil 5 and 6 on the Xbox 360. I played Resident Evil 5 so many times, it's ridiculous. I knew the complaints that many had with the game and I agree with them and yet, I always found myself playing the game again. That's the reason why I think Resident Evil going the action route is a good thing. Maybe the name Resident Evil should have been laid to rest. I don't know. I do know that the old school gameplay had run its course. RE4 was a different beast and it was so much fun. Such a good game. While RE on the Gamecube was the scariest game around, it relied on atmosphere and graphics to wow. After the scares were gone and the graphics weren't so amazing (actually, they're still kinda amazing...), what was left? The game wasn't fun to play and the story wasn't really all that. The action route made the series addicting and fun. I'll take fun over tradition any day of the week. The old style just doesn't work anymore. |
Yeah, believe it or not, RE5 is my most played game this gen. I've beaten it over 10 times with various people. I just wish I had people to play RE6 consistently with.
