Forums - Gaming - Good God Resident Evil 5 is bad

WOW spoilers lucky i finished it today

anyway i loved the game but there are a few things i didn't like eg
SPOILERS!!!
enemys being able to drive/shoot (looked cool so il let it go)
wesker being the last boss (RE without him is just not resident evil)
obvious story (yet good)
crap ending (WTF bad)
and i agree about the splitscreen with the black spaces that was stupid its very hard to aim at someone or
read subtitles (but i got used to it still id prefer a full screen)

Haha, I should join the "RE5 is fucking shit" train, but I just can't find the courage to downplay good games when I see them. If anyone considers Resident Evil 5 to be shit... I don't know how high their standards have to be.

Enjoy the game for what it is, not what it should have been. Seriously, I don't see how it could have been different. Wasn't RE4's gameplay one of the most revolutionary ones in the past generation? They're perfecting the gameplay they created, that's all.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

well the game must be to hardcore for you or most likely you just suck ?



Please go play the game THEN get back o us.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

People always hate games that they suck at.

Maybe its the PS3 version.

The controls took a little getting used to, I'm not sure why as I was very comfortable with RE4's GCN controls, but I was able to get through level 1, single player, normal difficulty, with only one death. You do know in RE games your goal is to survive, not to kill everything in site, right? Just run, man! :p

As for the text, I can read it fine (though I have a 60" HD tv), but if it goes by too quick its available in the extras section. Haven't seen anything on load screens yet (as of chapter 2) that wasn't available from the start.

Wow, so RE4 is one of your favorite games but you hate RE5? Um.... they are literally the same game...

Penalty flag!

Improper use of the word "literally."

10 yards, OP, first down.

 



My only real complaint is the stupid inventory system, only 9 slots for you and your partner, fuck that.

I can't believe how utterly shit this game is. I rented if for £6 and it's still an utter waste of money. I tried playing it 'splitscreen' with my girlfriend, and it was like trying to play the game through the wrong end of a telescope.

Your TV must be pretty bad. I played splitscreen on a 50" and it was fantastic

Why are the screens so small? Why, on a 42 inch 1080p HDTV can I barely see what I'm doing? Why the fudge is there so much black space which couldve been used?

What space is there that isn't used? 80% of it is used, with the other 20% for your map.

Then after being axed by zombies countless times, we figured we weren't enjoying it much so we wanted to change the difficulty down one (to Amateur, yes I know, I'm rubbish) but no can do. There's no option to change it in-game - there's not even an option to in the main menu.

You can start a new game series, and play through on amature. The reason they don't allow for changes on the fly is so that you don't attempt to play the last chapter and unlock the achievements for it. And yes, if your having issues with co-op on normal difficulty, you are pretty bad at the game.

And the font is horrible, the in-game menus are threadbare and the controls are stupid. And it's hard as nails.

The controls are very similar to RE4, the font is fine, and what in-game menus do you need? Does the game need to hold your hand or something?

I beat Resi 4 on Hard but I couldn't pass the first chapter without me or Sheva dying repeatedly, in first player or multi.

Then find another set of tactics. RE5 demands you learn how to beat the level, rather than just rambo through and plow it down. What's the issue? Axe guy? Too many zombies for your taste?

And then you have to wait while the 4-second clip of zombies hacking you loads. Again. And the loading is too fast (!), there's no possible way to read the history stuff before it's gone.

There's a Resident Evil timeline you can read that contains all the history. But it seems that your ineptitude with RE5 took no time to learn where it was.

What a rotten, moulding turd of a videogame, desecrating my PS3 with it's filthy filthy awfulness.

I'm sorry to hear that your gaming skills were unable to find RE5 a fun game.

On my end, my fiancee and I are having a blast. We've just beat either 5-2 or 5-3, and the game keeps getting better and better. The part where you finally take on lickers was very tense, and brought back the horror elements. There were a few times in one of the hallways, I told my girlfriend to screw it, and I'd walk backwards while she walked forward, sweeping every inch of the area 'till we were clear. Is the game perfect? No. But the co-op is better than Gears of War 2's campaign, I think. And that's a pretty good bar to stack up against.

I really like the inventory system. It forces you to pick & choose between what you carry into a chapter. I'm armed with the basic pistol (maxed), MP5 (maxed), and the revolver. My fiancee is the 'tank' and is carrying the Ithica shotgun, bolt-action rifle, and a pistol. We die occasionally, but it's rarely been due to health reasons - mostly insta-death scenes.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

all i can say is every single person that has talked to me about the game loved it, 2 of which rented the game and bought it..

At first people said the controls were really bad.. but that was before the game was released, haven't heard a thing about the controls sucking sense..

I have heard nothing but good things about this game..

I need to get it...
