Forums - Gaming Discussion - Eurogamer Reviews Resident Evil 5 :7/10

What is it about magazines beginning with the letter "E" that makes them hate everything? Save for EGM of course.

It seem RE5 may not be AAA status on metacritic. It will be shocking if this is the case.



low score but is not that bad.

This is all crap RE4 should have got when it was released, but instead reviewers praised it, now they had a changed of heart and RE5 is frowned upon for not going back to the old ways which were cheered away on departure?


Inconsistant crap.

 

Exactly! I don't understand all the hate towards RE5 when it follows the exact formula 4 was being praised for two years ago.

It is like they are pretending RE4 doesn't exist.



I wish I could do that, sucessfully anyway.

 

I realised I didn't present my above post too clearly (or did I?).

 

The easy example:

 

 

RE4 is released

Reviewers - "The old RE games were dated, RE4 abandons them all, these new changes are great AAA+++"

 

RE5 is release

Reviewers - "RE5 isn't like the old RE games, it isn't great because of that..."

 

 

Somebody shoot them.

 

same thing happened with the new James bond movies, Casino Royal NEW! DIFFERENT! VICTOLY!

Quantum of Solace pfft not like the old "real" James bond movies

Frankly I like RE4, but RE5 controls worse (I found chris to be a huge step back from Leon) and the story seems particularly bad, plus I hated the ending

what would make me happy is if capcom stuck with RE4 style gameplay, in a new series, and made real resident evils under the resident evil name, that everyone would be happy, especially me because there would be 2 games I'd probably like



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the Eurogamer scale, 5/10 is average. That means a 7/10 is a very good score, and you people need to quit whining.

What an ass, he lists what makes survival horror survival horror, and then goes and makes these things out to be bad and say that you have always and still will bitch about it.



That is like complaining about having to shoot in a FPS, and saying peopel always complained about having to shoot in them. What a moron.


It is another review that highlights gameplay changes from old school RE games and brands them negative, but the same sites did not brand this negative when RE4 done it.


Example: Lack of puzzles, or very simplistic ones. He frowns on this in comparison to old games, he does the same for the linear paths. RE4 did these both and got high scores for it?


This is why reviews are bollocks, they are inconsistant crap.


The best quote, though it had good competition:


"a significant part of what made Resident Evil appealing has been removed, and what remains is the shooting portion. Pushed front and centre, it morphs what was a survival horror adventure into a survival horror shooter, and many will find Capcom's transparent desire to appeal to the action gaming audience a little troubling."

Inconsistant crap.

They've played and reviewed RE4. They want a different game now.

finally the truth comes out!
i hate the controls of resi games! especially in this day and age

capcom needs to get its head out of its A** and move away from its outdated tech.

they had a good set up with res 4 wii edition but they decided to turn back the clock and put the next game on systems that don't have workable controllers for the game..

stupid

*here is hoping 12th brings resi 4.5 for wii(or even 6)*



hello how are you.

7/10 isn't a bad score coming from Eurogamer. They score rather harshly. I think it's fair to assume that this game isn't going to be the RE4 worldchanger we all hoped, but it looks like it's still a grand adventure if your up to the RE4 style of gameplay, and I here the final chapter is epic. I'm renting it, but then again, I always rent before I buy. I positively love the RE universe, and I don't doubt that this will be one of my favs this gen, so suck it Eurogamer, you bastards.

 

...That last part is meant to be humerous, but I know most of you wouldn't catch that, so I'm ruining the humor for everyone and flat out stating it. Eurogamer is fine, L2FP.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Same score they gave RE4 Wii Edition.
