Fail comment. I own a ps3 and can't stand the game. I don't like RE4 either anyways.

I believe this to be one of my favorite games this gen and my game of 2009. The story in this game is the best for a RE game, the action is better than RE4, the graphics are among the best for any game. The Co-op is a first for a RE game, and provides the most replay value for any RE game, offline or online. If you liked RE4, theres no reason you won't like RE5, except well if you don't have friends, or if you only own a wii.

I m not a fan of horror gaming

 

Mystery solved

 

We all wanted to see a survival horror game, and instead we got a shooter. It doesn't matter whether it is a good shooter or not, because all reviewers are reviewing it as a survival horror game, and thus the 6/10 is justified

 

That is crap.

 

RE4 was not survival horror, not even close.  To copy and paste from another thread:

 

Resident Evil 5 is not an action game.


Just because there is a lot mor eshooting in it doesn't mean it has abandoned all staples of survival horror (like RE4 did) or the old games.


You have a limited inventory (like the classics), you don't get oodles of ammo (like the classics), you get proper detailed files that flesh out the plot (like the classics), you get proper B.O.Ws and enemies from classic games, you get some areas that stop the linear paths and let you explore how you like, the story is also an actual RE related story, again tying into the classics.



People calling RE5 an action game yet defending RE4 need to get a reality check. Leon walking about in RE4 able to carry a full arsenal with enough ammo dropping it may as well have been infinite was a joke, the story was a joke, the files were a joke, everything about that game was as far from RE as you could get. RE4 was not horror.


RE5 has taken the series back much closer to its roots, while still keeping the updated gameplay.

 

 

 

YAY! kyliedog was able to explain something I couldn't find words to explain! I shall have to qoute you everytime i defend the game.

@ Zones and Spartan

RE4 was much scarier than than RE5 appears to be - the co-op thing destroys the horror aspect completely. I'll admit it wasn't as scary as REmake for example, and yes, I did compain about that at the time.
RE4 still maintained many of the aspects of the earlier games - a need for ammo conservation for example
RE4 had much better graphics than RE5 for its time

RE4 had many improvements over the previous games, as well as a few things it did worse
RE5 is just worse than RE4 in all respects in my opinion, and in the opinion of many other people

Appears to be? So in other words, you haven't played RE5. You're just another one of those jealous Wii fanboys then?

RE5 in RE4 in HD with co-op. There's no way you can possibly like one and not the other.

I don't like games that force you to play co-op. Optional co-op is great but madatory co-op sucks. So I either have to always have someone with me to play with, play with some stranger over the 'net, or play with the crappy AI controlled partner. It was fun playing with a friend but annoying as hell on my own.

 



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

i actually have no problem with the AI at all, i give her only one gun (the machine gun) and use her as a pack mule. And for some reason she never wastes all of her ammo with it. She uses it more like a pistol firing a shot every now.

Some of us prefer what RE used to be. These people are quite vocal. I won't consider myself unique in this respect.
