What? There's no puzzles in RE5, its a shooter now apparently

Actually, he gave RE4 9/10 back in the day:

that's stupid then :P

They dont make gamers like they used to.

I remember back in the day gamers would play any game and learn how to control it.

Nowdays gamers jump in 2 minutes and if it does not control the way they want it they get frustrated and mad and post on the internet about it.

But seriously, RE 5 is pretty easy and enjoyable once you learn how to play it. After my 3rd playthrough of the demo, I was pulling off headshots like a pro.

Edge also gave it a 7/10, although Edge are always like that.

The game isnt going to end up with AAA status.

Ah, that would be a great response regarding Killzone 2 as well....

I didn't like the way Re5 controls, but I was able to get into a groove after a couple of times with the demo. In fact, I had a similar time with Re4. I couldn't protect myself at all at first, but then I hit a groove and got through the rest of the game.

I figured as much

This is a clear example on how the popularity of a franchise can blind people from what it's very obvious and forgive the shortcommings because it's a game from the franchise they love and cherish.

IF the game was not called Resident Evil, has unknown characters, it will get lower scores and estimates due to the bad AI and cluncky controls. There are games on PS3 and Xbox360 that plays a lot better and the AI is more tolerable (or good).

But since the game is Resident Evil, people excuse this because those things (specially the controls) is what makes a Resident Evil game.

RE5 is not a bad game by all means, but it sure does not deserve high reviews for really outdated controls and doubtful AI compared to otehr games on those systems

This is like complaining that RPGs have no action.

People want RE5 to play like every generic American action game now, and Capcom going halfway to meet that seems to leave people on both sides unhappy.

I wish more games that sell themselves on "OMG REAL LOOK AT ME" made you actually stop and aim to shoot and oh shit heal yourself doing more than standing still.

I hate Eurogamer but that sounds like a rather realistic score - on their scale, that is. Oh, I hate the site and reviews but I love the scale as it uses the whole scale from 0 to 10 instead of 4 to 10. Then again, I would have expected them to give a higher score to a game as simple as this. Which reminds me, I should play the demo sometime. I even got it installed on my PS3 already, just haven't had the will to play it and now don't have the time.

I don't care cause after playing the demo, I decided NOT TO buy the game...

It was slow and dull... with great graphics... still I enjoyed RE4...
