I... Hate.... Capcom...

You know what, **** you capcom. Thats what I have to say, and here is why. YOU SCREWED UP RE5, YOU IDIOTS! "But Essian, whatever do you mean?" You must be asking right? Here is what I am talking about: THEY MADE SHEVA AN IDIOT. She likes to stand around and not do **** or she'll blow through all of your bullets and healing items before you can so much as say "Sheva you're a ****** who I don't want in this game" (not that I won't be saying that the whole time). I mean, what the **** were they thinking? "Hmm," they must have said, "I wonder how we can take a game that had the ability to be great and **** it up completely. I KNOW" He exclaimed with joy "Let's put an AI partner than none of the solo players will want, and then give her really bad AI programming." And so they rejoiced, because they managed to take away the entire experience for the solo player.

But what about online coop? Right. Here is my problem with online coop. IT RUINS THE GAME. This game is supposed to be about tension, and communication, and having a partner who you will probably grow fond of after he saves you ass for the millionth time. That probably wont be the case with online multiplayer. If Gears of War, Too Human, and every other online coop game have taught me, the idea of online coop is so incredibly lame that it can ruin any experience. Now dont get me wrong, there are some games that do coop very well (Resistance 2, Left 4 Dead, Army of Two etc) because they decide to throw the story out the ****ing window. When you are playing with someone who moves insanely fast through the levels, is an expert to the point where he could probably kill every enemy with nothing but his knife and melee moves, it ruins an experience like RE5 because its supposed to be tense. Also, the whole "liking your partner thing" is ruined after he calls you an "uber noob" for being accidently hit upside the head by a foe and having to use one of your 20 different healing items... sorry I'm not as elite as you, but I dont have time to memorize the layout of every RE5 map.

Now dont get wrong. Anyone who has played RE4 as much as I have (prolly about 6-7 times I think) knows the game well enough that they can get through it with nothing more than a pistol (except for boss fights and some of the bigger fights) but the point is that I know the game so well that it ceases to be difficult. But the fact that I'm alone, and that every decision has ramifications on me and no one else, and that no one can screw up the experience for me, makes RE4 great. Now that Sheva has the ability to consume all my ammo, waste all my health items and probably get killed forcing me to watch the "Game Over" screen a couple of hundred times for sheer lack of AI incompetence, you tell me how great this game will be. GET RID OF SHEVA! I dont care if you have to do a patch, or DLC, or rerelease the game with Sheva not present except when there are two actual people playing, but for the love of god stop being lazy **** who screw up games because they are too damn lazy to make two separate campaigns, one gears towards SOLO PLAY. Honestly, it wouldnt be a big deal if they just favored coop, but the fact that they managed to kill single player in the process is a testament to their failure.

Finally somebody said it. FINALLY! I`m so tired of the same argument `controls make things scarier`. What? Is it scary to get killed by 5 dudes because the big steroid freak you`re playing as is too retarded to step back while aiming? Fine, I can`t move while shooting, but while AIMING?? And yeah, the co-op is a horrible idea. At least babysitting Ashley in RE4 was not too bad because her A.I. didn`t suck, And her presence didn`t ruin the atmosphere.

If I get it for 10 bucks 5 years later, then I may force myself to play it. Otherwise I`m not touching this even with a 10-foot pole.

the tc brings up some good points that i hope won't ruin the experience of this game for me. luckily when you retrieve an item you choose who it goes to. i'm the type of player that really scopes out the scene before diving in head first into a horde of zombies so i hope that sheva doesn't just make an entrance every time you get to a new point. i tried the demo, and it didn't completely screw the way i normally play, but it was a bit dif. maybe this will add to the atmosphere that everyone keeps ranting about. if she rushes in to an onslaught of enemies then i may need to grow a bigger set and jump in w/ her. i don't want her using all my health though. that would suck

I know Gamespotters well enough so I don't to care about their personal rants and pointless and constant whining.

Whatever the game, the developer, the gen, the console, the year, the genre, someone will whine about something on those forums that 99% of people won't care.

Now, TC, you might be right about RE5. I haven't played the game nor tried a demo, I only watched some vids and read a bit. But you're complaining is so intense and so dense you lost most of your credibility. Especially since you answered a post saying you don't hate Capcom and it might not even stop you from loving the Game.

For once in my life I'd like to go through GS forums for a whole day without any whinings and other opinion threads that belong to BLOGS.

That's it, blogs, that's where most of you whiners and unsatisfied "gamers", if not mommy's boys, should stay.

I hate Capcom for killing Breath of Fire series...

gradually...

I mean is it that difficult to make a JRPG with dragon transformation? That's like saying you can't make a toast with bread and butter.

The wildly inconsistant quality of the series disappointed me, and when they killed the series off, I got p!ssed off since it was still one of my favorite series.

Well, that's why I hate Capcom.

Because of sheva being super dumb you hate RE5 and capcom. Now that youre reading this you notice how pointless youre post is right....

Ok then... umm... get over it?

Just don't buy the game and continue playing Resident Evil 4. Problem solved.

I'm not buying RE5 because I know I wont be able to enjoy it. I can't even put into words how bad the controls are, and sheva is just annoying.

I really can't believe that RE5 is getting better scores than Dead Space, well it's probably only because it's part of the RE franchise. Dead Space is better in every way than RE5.

seriously though if capcom released Resident evil 2 with a 3d camera and good graphics (and you could actually more and shoot) that would be epic

shevas a dumbass, so play with a friend around the same skill lvl as u.

I think CAPCCOM has lost it's taste in Horror in general, I still think Resident Evil 2 and 4 were the best in the series.

I'm confused is the topic creator complaining about an optional feature in the game that adds replay value to the game?
