Resident Evil 5 disapointment

now dont get me wrong the game is real good i like it alot, BUT...............

its just not scary or creepy like the old games (not resi 4, that wasnt scary either) i wish they would bring back the old type RE games like the remake of RE1 on gamecube, that was probly the best RE game ever IMO i loved how it was acctually pretty scary.

Oh and the CO-OP its jus annoying a times and makes the game even less scary/"survival horror" takes away the elemnt of survival or horror when you got a partner helping you out, i think the co-op would have been better as a multiplayer only experience and not a com controlled character, (she can be dumb as. she tries shooting an enemy just to find out she stands right behind me shooting me and dosnt even effect the enemy)

all in all i do like the game, i just wish ther was certain aspects of the game that was difrent or more Resident evil/survival horror

Anybody agree/disagree?

Having a partner actually makes the game more tense in some ways. You're not just watching you're own back anymore, you've got someone else to worry about too. They've swapped out fear for pure edge of your seat intensity. It won't make you afraid but it's hard not to panic when you've been backed into a corner by the approaching hordes with low health and ammo. I actually prefer this tactic to the originals. It's a wild ride. You're just thrown from one thrilling set-piece to the next so fast that you barely have time to breath.

the game isnt that great at all...

The series died when they came out with 4. Its a regular action game now...the problem is that its not even that good of one, its half-assed. Its hanging on to dated control concepts, without the atmosphere or puzzle elements to compensate, so we're left with something that tries to compete squarely with Gears and MGS. I'm not getting this game.beekayjay

I love RE4... and I love RE5...

I can see where people say it lost its since of scariness, but to tell the truth the only reason it was scary back in the day was because there was limited controls...

Now that we can move so fluid its hard for it to be too scary... But to me this is by far the best Coop game I have played...BY FAR

I didn't say it was scary. Neither are any of the other Resident Evil games for that matter. They were pure B-movie schlock of the highest order. RE5 gives off a sort of intensity that no other game can manage. It makes you feel panicked and constantly on edge. You're always being jolted from one tense encounter to another so fast that it's just a rush to play. Not that'd you'd know that, since you haven't actually played it. When it comes to pure, visceral thrills, nothing even comes close. Silent-Hal

killzone 2 is far, far more intense than RE5. the only reason resident evil 5 is intense is becauseyou're constantly fighting the bad controlsas well as the enemy.

When I first heard of Resident Evil 5, It thought it was going to be scary just like the good old days but nope the game had no horrror mostly action. And most parts of the game were too easy.

Ok IMO RES4 was a great change..the series needed a change and RES4 was an awesome game..(I ALSO LOVE ALL THE OTHER GAMES IN THE SERIES), but RES5 IMO isn't that great it just does everything RES4 though its less scary and you have a dumb partner....bah IMO its not as good as RES4 not by a long shot,...its a nice game but not a must buy for me..

Given the storyline, it can't 'really' have all those previous elements we miss so much, the night setting, slow zombies, unexpected scares. Although, I find it alittle unusual that throughout the game, it's almost all daylight. There's practically no night battles.

They could have reimplemented alot of elements that users really want but they took them out which I not know why, perhaps he wanted a new approach.

I like the game a lot. Its absurd to expect it to be as scary as some of the early games. Its still intense and fun. People expect too much. I dont know...people just cant be satisfied with anything anymore.

The game isn't scary....if i want intense I'll play Killzone2 on elite. Or the 20 other action games done ten times better. beekayjay

HAHAHA. Killzone 2 is the least intense game I've ever played. Not to say it's not amazing, but the LEAST intense game ever. If you know what to do you elite won't be hard at all. Now toss me in Helghast with a pistol with 50 bullets while my spaceship is being attacked then you can have intense. RE5 throws you into a live or die situation and kicks your ass. Oh did I mention, 2 hits to die on professional. That's pretty damn intense.

One thing that really broke the atmosohere for me was Capcoms use of the Devil May Cry system, where after your done part of a chapter you go to a Organize/Buy type screen. The game itself is great but couldve used a few more tweaks.

RE5 gave me the exact same thrills and chills as the other games.
The main difference is that the game in not in perpetual night. I applaud Capcom for showing us that it dosen't have to be dark outside for a game to be scary. It ditches the stereotypical ideas of survival horror and brings it to a whole new light (pun intended).

I personally don't see why people are saying this game isn't scary. This is RE4 on steroids with the lights turned on most of the time.
I love it and think it's the best game this gen for any system.

It's too much out in the wide open daylight and the zombies and monsters dont' surprise you and they're not scary. I blame bringing it to the 360 for the reasons for the change.

I'm loving RE5, I never played any of the other ones prior to RE4, so you can see why I I don't mind the controls.[QUOTE="patriots7672"]

What he's saying, I believe, is if it had been just PS3, it would have been more well developed without someone having to worry, oh can the 360 handle this, can it do that. You see the game now, imagine it with Killzone or Metal Gear graphics. There might have been alot more put in to an exclusive title.

I love the controls in RE5, its the same as its always been and that helps add to the intensity. If the controls were changed to that of a regular shooter then people would be complaining about the lack of a cover system, dumb enemy AI, limited ammo; it just wouldn't work. I love that I have to stop to take pot-shots and then try to get in close and finish em off before they get up or their buddies show up. It keeps you thinking. It makes you think about how much ammo you have, the battles you can afford to fight and when you just have to run like hell. People are so into these brainless shooters nowadays and it makes me sick. The co-op in RE5 is better than any thrown in co-op mode in any shooter out there. If you're having problems playing the game with a dumb AI Sheva then join an online game or play co-op locally, having to watch my little bro's back has only added to tense battles and the run-like-hell moments of the RE series.

HA, Fanboy?

If you look back a month or so I was bashing the PS3 in system wars. I hate Gears it's stupid.

Also the backrounds wasnt creepy looking enough but its still an OK game i guess

I didn't mean to turn it into a system war.

all i was saying was with dedication to one system the game woulda been better.

I did say, XBOX IS BETTER LOOK AT GEARS NAH NAH NAH.

I like the game a lot so far but i been saying since i saw the trailers that they set too much of it in the day time. I have yet to beat the game but i think it's far from a disappointment. The only thing i think capcom should do is split this series from the rest of resident evil buy still creating the game the way they used too in addition to the ones they create now. Personally i didn't like the old style and don't know if it could hang with new era of games. But if they did make it the old way they could put those new games on psn instead of addons to their game. I do think having a partner takes something away from the scary atmosphere but it adds a new layer to the game play unlike that from gears of war. For one thing you have the option to injure your partner and in addition it tests your skills more than res 4 by requiring you to look out for your partner as well as yourself. With the evolution of zombies, and gigantos it would be difficult to survive this game solo.

HAHAHA, thats the funniest thing i've read in a while. seriously, have u even played killzone? some people might not like the game, but to say its not intense, let alone "the least intense game" is just stupid. i know people have different opinions, but c'mon...

yup I own Killzone, it's not hard at all. All you need to do is pop and shoot and toss around a grenade. It's not intense. Atleast not in the way Resident Evil is

hmmm, im starting to wonder if you really do own it, because that is definitely NOT all you need to do to get through levels. The AI in Killzone 2 is way too good for you to just sit in one spot and poke your head out to take enemies out one by one. You constantly have to be on the move, because you will get flanked. so, unless you're just a videogame god(which i doubt you are), its not easy, not on the higher difficulties atleast. from what ive played of RE5, the enemy AI isnt anything special.

lolwut

Yep, the series sure 'died' with the release of one of the best games of all time. The old school fans are just bitter that the series has actually moved on from antiquated design features like static camera angles, tank controls, pre-rendered backgrounds, convoluted puzzles, limited saves ect. IMO it's better for it. RE5 is one of the most intense games I've played in years. Silent-Hal

haha. I'm about a level 4 or 5 or something, i just unlocked medic. and i must be a video game god because the game is quite easy.
