I only count the RE's that play like RE's and I'd have to say that given how dated they were at the time they arrived, Code Veronica, RE Zero and Outbreak 1 & 2, were much worse than RE3, which at least had tank controls before other series had undoubtedly improved on the formula. All of your criteria with Meta, fans, etc. all lend Outbreak 1 & 2 as the worst by far so no good there. Your opinions being worth more than mine is hilarious considering you don't even sound like a fan of the series, are bitching about the newest one, and don't have an HD console to play it on anyways. I figured a long time RE fan such as yourself would at least own the console the newest is coming out on. However the title of your thread says perfectly what the true intentions of this thread are, bitter tears. It was amazing and revolutionary when it came out, not more of the same generic crap. Funny how that line of yours describes the RE series eventual downfall in gameplay perfectly well, lending to what I said that each iteration of tank controls, box puzzles, and a mountain of keys just got worst than the last, making RE3 much more acceptable based on it's time it came out than Code Veronica, RE Zero and the two Outbreaks were. |
It is really cute when you try to discuss things you don`t know. RE Outbreak? Are you really that desperate to disprove me? We are talking about main series. I think I made it clear on the last post. Even you said "I only count the RE's that play like RE's". Did you play Outbreak? It is focused on online play. Melee weapons play a more important role than any other RE in the series, there are 8 playable characters, inventory is smaller than ever, you have to complete the stages with the help of other 2-3 players, characters have special abilities, there is an infection rate (kinda like a time limit), you don`t need keys to open all doors (you can shoot or break them), there are only 5 chapters (you don`t keep your items once you complete them). It doesn`t play at any other RE at all. What is next? RE gaiden? Gun Survivor?
Guess what, my opinions are worth more than yours. Read the sentence again. Whose opinion about RE is worth more to you? If you answer anything other than mine, (meaning yours) you are retarded. It may sound offensive, but if take it literally you will understand. It is like telling someone that his mom was born naked.
Your attempts at making me sound like a fraud are pathetic. What you wrote is really retarded. Did you read it? To be a fan of any series mean I can`t bitch about it. Did you miss the memo that said that no one bitch more about something than its fans? Or do you think a true fan should always buy the game no matter how it suck, dissapoint or bore them? As for not onwing a semi-HD console claim, it is wrong in so many ways:
1) I don`t need to play all the games from any series to be fan of it. I doubt most Mega man fans played all those spin offs. Even the main series are massive (9 megaman, 8 X, 4 zero, don`t know how many ZX).
2) To be a fan of any series I don`t need to own all the consoles they were released on. I can play it at a friend`s house, I can rent it.
3) I own a Xbox 360. You lose, try harder next time.
This next part is very childish and immature read it at your own risk. As for personal attacks used to disprove arguments, I will shoot back. I am a much better player than you will ever be. In the 2 months I own the 360, I finished more games than you will by the end of generation. My gamer score is almost 4 times as much as yours. So don`t try to sound like you know more about RE just because you have a console to play RE 5. Also, if you own a dog, I would like to tell you it is ugly and mine is much cooler.
You are making assumptions and wrong ones. RE series was stagnant when RE 3 came out. CV, Zero, REmake did not solve it either.I loved what RE 4 did. It may be a giant "Fuck You" sign to some survival horror fans and some RE fans. Even so I believe that good gameplay come over atmosphere or tradition. Better yet, RE 4 did a good job of mixing old and new elements. I don`t want more keys and less ammo like every RE after CV did. I dislike RE 5 for different reasons (and believe me, not being a Wii game is not one of them).
Last, I will make an assumption and say you did not play or finish a lot of RE. You did not make one argument about gameplay that make it sound like you played a lot of them. It sounds like you took it from some review. You don`t talk about gameplay like challenge, guns, amount of ammo, puzzles, lenght, bosses, extra features, unlockables. It is all some lame crap like tank controls were more dated in newer RE than RE 3. I bet you did not even finish RE 3. I will ignore you on RE 3 topic unless you can anwer me these:
1) How did you deal with every Nemesis encounter in the game (boss and non boss). What strategies did you use?
2) How does RE 3 is fresher or better than RE 0 or Veronica. Point me some gameplay features that made it a better. Compare to what you disliked in those games (ammo, item management, bosses, extras).
