5 reasons why Resident Evil 5 doesnt scare me

I never want to move to your neighborhood if your neighbors look like this. :?





:P Seriously though most of the points you made I agree with. I still enjoy the game as well though. Except for Sheva. I really freaking hate her. I just can't shake the feeling while I am playing it that I want to play it alone. :x

Videogames rule #24: There's never such thing as too much ammunition. My reasons why RE5 is not scary:

- you feel like a war machine, a guy made of dumbbells with a fighting partner instead of a helpless little girl

- there's no creepy levels (nothing like the castle with the upside-down statues, the cave with the giant cocoon in RE4)

- chainsaw guys with a paper bag on their heads... again?

- you're too busy fighting the awful controls to get scared

By the way, the monks from RE4 were scary as hell. "Muere, muere, muere, muere..."

It's still considered as a Horror Adventure I suppose. It can give a nice scare to gamers new to the gene. Still, comparing only the horror element of the game it can't even light a candle to Dead Space, Silent Hill or Resident Evil before parasites stole T's seat.GhoX

It didnt scare me. At any point (besides Chri's Scarily large biceps and triceps :P) and i dont play horror games, in fact, this was the first i have ever played.

It can be somewhat scary at some points when you are playing solo with an unpredictably dangerous AI. I remember the time when I'm kiting this chainsaw zombie, and Sheva simply stood idle at the only door, blocking my way and calmly handed me some ammo as I have my head sawed off.

It's a really good action game but it does lack the scare factor.

Kinda off topic...I still want to pick up this game. I missed the 20 dollar black friday deal, so I'm going to wait for whatever the next sale price is, but here's my ordeal: Which system should I pick it up for? My configurations are as follows...

PS3--connected through hdmi with 5.1 sound.

360--connected through component with stereo sound.

Both are running through a Denon receiver which also (optionally)upscales inputs other than hdmi to 1080p.

Five reasons Resident Evil 5 does not scare me

It isn't survival horror X5

i agree, while it not a bad game- quite the opposite, it isnt survival horror, and sheva is the most pointless anoying b*tch of a partner ever portrayed in 3D.

I totally agree! She pissed me off so much! To be honest the 4th one was alot better than the 5th.

I always call it Resident ACTION 5 , sounds much better :)

Besides it is a little hard to get scared WHEN YOU HAVE FREAKING GATLING GUN

Was hoping for some scares, what I got was an overabundance of masculinity.Dreamerdude26

The game felt more to me like "Resident Commandos" than "Resident Evil."

Resident evil 4 and 5 is like barney, while 1, 2 and 3 are like Godzilla. Try playing Resident Evil 2!

the RE series hasnt been scary since the 3rd. RE5 was more of a 3rd person shooter then a fear based game. Im not entirely sure but i think they announcedRE5 was going to focus more on combat then fear. I highly doubt anyone was even remotely scared by it.

The Zombies have way to much flesh and limbs.

The dialogue for all of the REs is so horrificly bad and the plotlines so ridiculous I never really found any of the games scary. Also, its worth noting that since RE2 characters have been bettered armed than the militaries of some developing countries.

the only time i was actually scared from it was when i thought i killed the first chainsaw guy you encounter, i ran up to the door that allows you to leave and it wouldnt open..i forgotthat i neededthe key to get out so i turned around and i see that bastard with the chainsaw headin right at me..since it was such a narrow passage i panicked and tried to run past him cuz it normally takes him a minute, he has to laugh for a bit then swing the chainsaw. i died lol, but i made sure he was dead after.

In the next game if they do it like RE4/5 over the shoulder style. They should have two different campaigns. One co-op and one single player. Like they did with the mercs in RE5. I hope they still keep mercs co-op in the next one, even if they do it RE2/3 style cuz to me co-op mercs was the best thing RE5 had going for it.-ICON-

We all know that the reason capcom added sheva was because of that stupid woman that watched the trailer and wrote a blog about it being racist.
