I really liked RE5 though and I hate McDonalds. I assumed the PC version would be superior, how was I to know that the PC version would be butchered, I probably should have known since it came free with Elements of Might & Magic. =/

lol, yeah I guess there is no way of knowing till one tries...or reads reviews...like this one

In real life you can only kill white zombies.. so black zombies in a videogame is a no no...

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


Puh-lease.

I've played RE since part 1 and have beaten every major game in the series. I guarantee you I spent more time with the series. Beaten the dual shock versions, saturn version, multiple playthroughs with almost every major game of the series.

We can argue about opinions all we want, and we have before... But the bottom line is, check any 100 greatest games list...RE4 is usually on it. RE5 was forgotten by the media a few months after it came out and I guarantee you it won't make any top 100 games list ever. Also, just look at the reviews...RE5 is on average scoring 10 points less than RE4 on Metacritic. I guess everyone that reviewed it is a "noob"?

RE4 isn't my favorite RE game by any means but it spanks the crap out of RE5. Not to mention its the bluprint which RE5 is based on but forgot to improve on in any significant manner...

While I was reading the thread title I thought they meant the lack of horror elements.

 

But the controversy over RE 5 is pretty dumb. It would be racist NOT to use african people. 

 

We have RE4 where the game takes place in the spanish mountains. We have white american zombies and if we wouldnt take african zombies because of skin color I would call that pretty racist.

RE5 was a great co-op action game, sorry to say this but Capcom did what it had to do to keep the franchise alive and healthy (over 6.5 million copies sold with Gold Edition) I doubt they return to their roots.


Capcom did what they had to do to keep RE series alive with part 4, and delivered a wonderful game.


RE5 sold 6.5 million cause everyone and their mother who played RE4 bought RE5. RE4 is still considered one of the best action games of all time and the sequel was highly anticipated.

What those 6.5 million people got was pretty much the same game as RE4 with coop and better graphics, but 1/2 the lenght, unplayable single player, completely rediculous story (vs half rediculous in part 4) and zero horror elements. Makes you wonder what capcom did for 4 years making RE5...

Throughout those years they were planning how to mainstream it to the max.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

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.

That's like saying Call Of Duty: World At War is survival horror just because of the Zombie Mode :o

No it's not, as the zombie mode wasn't scary.

Anyway. That's not what I mean at all. I don't see how a game can be in the "Survival Horror" genre if it's not scary.
