Jeff Gerstmann Has Some Esplaining (Purposely Misspelt) to Do

I felt that Leon moved too much like a tank, but haven't all Resident Evil games had this problem?

Too be honest, the only Resident Evil game I like is Resident Evil 4. I own Resident Evil 1 Remake and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and they are both, in my opinion, below average. But I'm sure they were great for their time, except for Umbrella Chronicles, of course.

Meh who cares I never thought much of him anyways.Bigboi500

same..I don't know what all the fuzz is about around this guy

I thought both the GC and PS2 versions were way to hard to play. Thats why when i played the Wii version i was surprised, it was as if it was a totally different game.Haziqonfire

When I get a Wii, I actually plan to trade in my PS2 version in favor for the Wii version.

On the latest "Bombcast" he admits to never beating RE4 and thought the shooting mechanics were horrible :o, I didn't even know it was possible to start RE4 and not want to finish it...

Thoughts?

Wow. That's strange. drewtwo99

Not at all

Um, why does anyone care? He likes gaming, but he has his own opinion and he enjoys what he enjoys. He isn't going to artificially enjoy something just to satisfy all of you. He has his own brain, allowing him to think and act in his own way, enjoying the things that he likes to enjoy. Seriously, let's drop it.BioShockOwnz

Wait is this the same poster that stated if you think GTA 4 is "bad" then that must mean you have horrible taste in gaming and that you're not a "true gamer" :o.....Im mainly just pulling your leg.

RE4 was a great game, but he's right. I own the GC version and the gunplay was a struggle. Not being able to move while aiming doesn't add "tension", it just adds frustration. You get used to it eventually, of course, but there's no real reason it had to be that way. And I hope that RE5 isn't, too.

Stop limiting a player's freedom of movement. That sentence should be stamped on the forehead of every developer.

Bam. You got him pretty good there. I know he didn't review the game, but why would he even comment on a game he never beat? New Rule: In order to complain about a game one has to beat it first.Bigboi500

If he doesn't like the controls I doubt they are going to change much at the end of the game...

well RE4 is not a shooter :| is a survival horror game

[QUOTE="drewtwo99"]

[QUOTE="JLF1"]Did he review the game?JLF1

No, Kasavin did.

Then what's the problem?

That Gerstmann failed to complete one of the greatest games of last gen?

It's not just Lems though. lots of people in every camp worship the guy

Lol, anyone who thought the shooting mechanics of RE4 were horrible obviously can't play games and need to back to the Atari joystick.XenoNinja

It would've been better if you were able to walk and aim at the same time, though. Capcom always has to shove in some god awful gameplay mechanic. Blah!

He could be like me; a procrastinator. I bought Shadow of The Colossus, killed four colossi, and didn't play it again for several months.Lionheart08

Oh no not everyone likes the same games.... My world... it's falling appart.

Hearing Jeff talk like that, I wonder more and more if he really likes his "Job". Besides he is an achievement whore, so yea, I guess he would beat RE5 for 100 achievements. I can't believe he is a gamer and does not like games like RE4 and Ninja Gaiden...BenGenio

He gave Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black both 9.4 He was the best reviewer Gamespot had. He even had the guts to give Twilight Princess the review it deserved.

[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]In this day and age....(i.e. several years later). Yeah, the shooting mechanics are kinda bad.......blues3531

wut are u talking about? almost all tps use it today. theyre perfect.

they only use the camera view, not the actual control scheme and shooting mechanics.

the shooting mechanics are still used, just not a lazer sight. instead we get way less immersive reticle on the screen yay! :roll:

and ok the control scheme yes, i dont like shooting with A. hopefully in 5 itll be aim with left trigger and shoot with right geow style

no in most tps, the aiming is smoother, you can strafe, move forwards and backwards and its a lot quicker to turn to your sides.

while re4 wasnt as 'fluid' in terms of its control and mechanics i think it actually helped the game since it created a lot more tension.

and for the record, according to most people the wiiversion of re4 is the best and definitive version, yet that uses a reticle. dont tell me that motion controls make up for it because you would still be going back on what you said. and also i dont think the motion controls were that amazing compared to the analogue control on the GC and ps2
