It was a good game for an action shooter, should have been some sort of spin off.

I want my "survival horror" back

Well i always waited to play a RE game with my brother and now i can with a black character too, so i love it. But RE4 and RE5 felt like a side story to the originals. Can't wait to play RE5 with the move too.

Try it on PC. Way better graphics (no shit right?) and the without the (rumored) imprecision of the Sony WeeMote. That said I think RE5 made the mistake of trying to meet two audiences, the action fan and the survival horror fan. On both sides of the fence they didn't really hit stride. Fun game, but not what it should have been. I'm gonna guess based on the consumer response RE6 like GTA V (another sequel loved by critics but panned by gamers) will likely take their series in different directions. Thats not to say RE5 didn't sell well though.

The complaint (as I understand it, and certainly MY complaint) is not that it is a bad game. The complaint is that it is now just another shooter game instead of the survival horror we all love. If Capcom had made the game under the name 'shoot teh badguys for teh lulz' I suspect it would receive nothing but praise

scottie, you have to assemble a team and make 'shoot teh badguys for teh lulz' right now! I am officially preordering it with you sight unseen.

OT: You're preachin' to the choir me boy, my personal GOTY 2009. Played it 8 times, 8 frickin times! I've never played a game that much not named Diablo, KOTOR or Final Fantasy.

Haha, it wouldn't be a team without you.

 

I can put you as executive sass writer, and it's your job to decide what the characters say as they shoot teh bad guys for teh lulz

Looks like I've got some Arnold Schwartzenegger movies to watch.

"Get to da choppa!"

 



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Naw I need an anlogue stick to move and i hate using  w,s,a,d to move the character's direction.  And i like playing it from the crouch.  ppl said that the move is just like the wiimote and RE4 for the wii was great so I'm going to love RE5 with PSmove and with the PS3 graphics and online.

Word. I'm down with that. However the  Sony Weemote sounds like the Wii pre- M+ which in this day is pretty lacking. MS went off the deep end and Sony made a poor man's knockoff. I think somebody else will be the true innovator. The current console companies are lazy.

I think the game was good, there were some flaws but it was really good fun and the satisfaction of blowing a zombie's head off with the handcannon was incredible



no idea how to make this properly work
