how did RE5 score that high? It has the worst Camera, control, aiming ever.

i have to admit, the graphics are the best, the voice action is good, the gameplay is rubbish, the game has RE4 style, but i dun remember RE4 being that frustrating.

The camera in RE5 is zoomed like 5x, you can never see more than 70% of the battle field, you will always be hit by offscreen enemies.

the controls are sluggish, they are either fast or slow, you can never get to master them, turning corners is a pain during fights.

the aiming mechanics, i could write articles abt how bad they are, first the laser pointer which can never tell you where are you aiming exactly ( only if they added a circle or a pointing mark), 2nd the weapons are too slow to use, reload..etc (even after you upgrade them, it's how the game is designed), 3rd the controls again are very annoying, you will always miss, the sensitivity is very bad across all grades

The inventory is real time, enough said, for all who played the game, you should know what i mean, and how this can drive you crazy during battle.

dun give me that crap that i dun know how to play, i could finish RE4 wz my eyes closed, i tried the controller, mouse and the keyboard, they all suck,Dead space is another example that adopted the same style of RE4 nicely,everything was very smooth,RE5 didn't, it doesn't deserve more than 7.

The inventory system is the worst part of the game, absolutely horrible.

RE is known for having odd controls that are supose to frustrate to an extent. When things get rough you have to concentrate or die, it adds that level of stress. I loved RE4 so 5 is good but just not great, overall it deserved the score it got to me.

Co-op was fun but when you beat the game in 3h and under that is a huge WTF. I am so sick and tired of short games costing full price oh gawd.

The aiming is supposed to be like that. As you are dealing with hordes of poorly equipped enemies, who have limited ways of attacking.

The control's have nothing to do with the game being horrible. RE5 is just a very generic terrible game, and the biggest disappointment this gen.

Wow I thought Resident Evil 5 was one of the best games this gen. Co-op was fun and single player with my unlimited ammo and what not is fun as well. Plus the extra versus mode and the mercenaries mode. Probably one of my favorite games this gen. Can't wait till the new DLC comes out.

Meh... your opinion. As far as I'm concerned if it wasn't for Uncharted 2 then RE5 would be my GOTY so far.

all great games have haters. This post only proves that re5 was one of the best games that came out this year. sometimes i look at systems wars to see which games people cry the most about review wise. halo, uncharted, killzone, mgs, gears all awesome games that are filled with haters on this board.

yeah, keep saying that till you believe it, RE5 is far from the best, the difference between RE4 and RE5 in scores is huge, and it's still overated for the score it got, the game controls ruin everything good that game did.

I enjoyed it quite a bit in co-op. I never really played it on my own with the AI sheva though. I hear she can be a pain in the butt sometimes.

not fixed.

Fixed.

hey guys i dont know if you heard or not, but 'fixed' is played out and nobody think its funny anymore

anyway re5 was a pretty fun game, but the complaints people make about some thinks (inventory, controls) are undeniable, and i have no idea how the game shipped in its final form. also, giving the zombie-esque guys guns was just an outright awful idea. i couldnt imagine playing it without a human partner, though. overall i think its a solid 7.5, but without a partner, i could easily see it being outright awful.

I am not defending I am just saying everyone knew going in how the controls were going to be and they constantly complain about them.

IMO

It cannot be called resident evil if it does not play like that.

If capcom made it a fast paced shooter.

I'm sure that people will not see as resident evil but as Gears of War ripoff.

but RE4 was a good change to the series, it was getting very old after RE:CV, i think we are ready to have the old style back in the new RE after they screwed everything up in this one.

the game pace is fine, it's the controls and the camera, i think a combination between a bad camera and bad controls could ruin any game on earth.

To me it felt dated and was boring to play through again unlike Resident Evil 4. The inventory was bad and so was the combat I felt.

The only thing that pissed me off in this game were the inventory and the partner AI. Playing with a KB/M, I had absolutely no problem with camera or combat, so I guess it's just you then.

I dont see how they couldnt have had the RE4 control scheme in a more survival horror setting. That would have been a better game IMO but I still love RE4.

heres a tip, stop sucking at the game.

The inventory is fine, and aiming is fine, and i never ran out of ammo, and even if i did, that would just make it more intense.

Go play a random TPS, sounds like thats all you want.

i think you were playing MGS4, not RE5, hotmail is right in every point he said except the ammo, the game overall isn't as fun as i thought it would be, it didn't even meet half of my expectations.

I guess we can move Resident Evil out of the Survival Horror genre and just toss it in with the generic shooters.

Or it can be a coop survival horror game. Don't worry, the same inexplicable plotlines bad voice acting (although RE5 has probably the best voice acting in the entire series) and bad camera/controls (for atmosphere) are still present. You just get to share your frustration with another person.

While I'd agree with you that he needs to step up his game a bit, his comment about the inventory is dead on. It sucks. I got used to the aiming and controls but they wouldn't win any praise from me either.

Well maybe you just suck then because me and my friend beat it on all the difficulties with no trouble at all. The camera is fine, controls are fine, but the game itself isn't very good. Also the inventory system was simple all you do is use the D-pad, you're just whining too much. Also stop saying "dun", it's really annoying.

Well i love RE5 i found it to be the best game i have played since Gears Of War 1. OK it`s not survival horror now but the action is so intense that i think i actually prefer RE as an action game.

you'd always run out of ammo :| It's like they didnt want you to enjoy it.fenwickhotmail
I really don't see how you can be low in ammo in this game, there is a great amount of ammo that you can gather and you can always nife your opponent when they are on the ground to saved up on them. You can also stun them and then go up to them and uppercut them. I agree with you that Resident Evil 5 isn't that fun and intense like the previous installment of Resident Evil games in my opinion.
