it's not as if i'm just making stuff up or nitpicking on really stupid things. 3picuri3

Actually, that's exactly what you're doing.

I mean, really, are you going to sit there and tell me that your suspension of disbelief was held up throughout the rest of the Resident Evil series until now?

You're going to tell me that you were able to ignore dozens of illogical puzzles that had no reason for existing, or giant scorpions leaping on top of trains, or magical storage containers that teleported items from one place to another, or shark observation deck saftey mechanisms designed to be as frustrating as possible, or actually having time to grab medicine after a man is bitten by a snake the size of an SUV, or leeches saving a man from death and making him their master, or a mutated little girl devoting her entire existence to guarding a hand crank; you're telling me that you were fine with all of that, but enemies infected with parasites driving vehicles is just too goddamn ridiculous?

Give me a break.

yeah, that's exactly what i'm going to tell you 'jethro'. those puzzles and illogical items didn't necessarily impede the story. so incredibly sorry my opinion doesn't line up with yours. but if you think i'm alone and crazy why don't you spend some time reading the previews outside of gamespot. read kotakus impressions based on final builds. all of those things you listed make more sense than what we've seen of 5 so far, so sorry mate. wrong. and my main problem with this one is the outdated control scheme and push for more action. it's lazy design to rely on frustrating controls for your main source of tension / suspension. if i was alone in my opinion i might have given your criticism of my criticisms more weight, but i'm not. and judging by your sig you're just another adamant fan that can't stand someone having a differing opinion.3picuri3

The only thing you would be reasonable in saying about me based on my signature is that I am a Resident Evil fan who is looking forward to Resident Evil 5. Anything else is just your own overly-defensive conjecture.

I have no problem with someone having a differing opinion, and RE5 isn't beyond criticism in my mind (no game is) but your complaining about believability in a Resident Evil game just comes across as completely ridiculous.

If you were to step back from your entrenched position for just a moment, I think you'd be able to see that.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="3picuri3"] i loved the RB6V demo & game. to each their own eh? i'm going by not just the demo i've played for like 3 hours, but also the previews we have access to all over the internet. the criticisms kotaku editors are pointing out, and other editors from other mags. not everyone is blowing sunshine up RE5. you don't like my opinion, try to argue why these things don't spoil / ruin the game for some people instead of just accusing me of mindless bashing. explain to me why many people share my opinion, including professionals who have played the full game.3picuri3

So, then again, did you play the demo and actually MAKE it through the level? Did you wipe out the Axeman? Did you like Resident Evil 4?

How is it now?

[QUOTE="3picuri3"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] I guess your right to each their own. I'll have fun enjoying the game. But don't bring the pre-release experience down for meAnimal-Mother

all you people are demonstrating here is your inability to accept an opinion that lies in opposition to yours by any means possible. why you think it would change my mind more than someone making a cogent & articulated case for the game that negates my criticism boggles my mind. telling me i'm bashing it & being ridiculous & that my opinion is 'over the line' does nothing for your argument at all.

To the post above, your really nitpicking. Since you have such an obsession with ammo coming out of fruits, did you ever stop to think, IN re4 why when i shoot a chicken does an egg magically appear, or why is there some crazy merchant hanging up blue medallions and giving me weapon upgrades. How does leon carry his briefcase

So tell me since you've played it and you know it's full of plot holes, what happens to sheva, chris,jill and wesker?Animal-Mother

no, because those things weren't nearly as ridiculous as this.

c'mon, keep telling me i'm nitpicking. i'll keep sticking to my opinion, because it's mine - not yours. i'll defend it until you respect it like i respect yours.

Jeez... thats just not right. Oh well, I guess it cant be helped. it's almost like if they wanted to have people fighting and waiting to do a sacrifice instead of a simple warning to cool down. :/

My opinion could be that if the final boss doesnt have 9 tentacles it can't be called Resident Evil, and even though its an opinion, it's a very ridiculous one :/

and i'm being ridiculous? do you ever stop to read what i've typed? i said i haven't played the whole game. get over it man.

my opinion might be ridiculous to you but it's mine and it won't change no matter how many times you reply or try to attack it because it doesn't line up with yours. just leave it be. i disagree with your assessment. i find it ridiculous that the infected can start up boats & cars & dirt bikes & use megaphones but they can't arm themselves. i hate the fruit ammo thing. i hate that they refuse to update controls.

these are my concerns, no matter what you say they won't change. never.

[QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"] Haters should back off...3picuri3

[QUOTE="3picuri3"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] So it's not ridicolous for a man to be carrying around a briefcase full of weapons but its wretched that, you can find ammo under fruits and that a small village of people taken over by a community parasite can't do basic life functions. So tell me If it is full of plot holes what happens? You've apparently played itAnimal-Mother

again i ask you to refer to what i've typed already instead of making your own assumptions. i said the plot holes relate to the way the infected act in the game, more logical holes than plot holes. but again, you failed to read that i guess even though you quoted it several times. again, i will tell you, no matter how much you type, not matter how much you belittle, not matter how much you criticize and insult my judgment i will stand be my opinion. and after this post i'll just refer to you what i've already typed as i don't appreciate being made to repeat myself just because someone won't put in the effort of reading and considering what i write before replying.

and just to clarify, i'm not here to prove anything to anybody. was just stating my opinion. you appear to be the one who wants to try to prove sometihng.

[QUOTE="3picuri3"][QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"] Haters should back off...McdonaIdsGuy

its the fact you can find grenades under fruits, that corpses drop ammo while they melt in a messy brown blubber, they can drive vehicles, but they cant use real guns.

Funnily enough, none of this things were introduced in RE5...

Dude Eyezonmii got hammered :(.McdonaIdsGuy

From my experience in playing it I liked it and you have to remember its my opinion. I liked the game and I can't wait to play through it. If you didn't like the demo then don't bother getting it but don't try and force people into thinking it will be a bad game. This game has recieved so much postive feedback from sites and magazines.chocolate1325

[QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"]Dude Eyezonmii got hammered :(.TREAL_Since

3picuri3, let us understand you. First you started by telling how the controls had faults. You called lazy design to an inventory system that forces you to do everything realtime. Then you turned on the plagas on motorbikes/boats/etc, fruits with ammo stuff.

And I just dont know whats your opinion anymore thanks to the complete switch of argument you've been doing through this thread

I do respect your opinion. I'm just simply debating why are you disagreeing with stuff that existed in RE4 (a game that seems you played and liked), with the only difference being realtime inventory.blitzcloud

Never said I don't respect your opinion, I HONESTLY think it's wrong.Animal-Mother

well i think this sums up our problems here in a nutshell. respecting someones opinion entails disagreement, but acceptance of their opinion. when you call something wrong, that is being disrespectful and trying to assert your own opinion over someone else. that is the exact opposite of respect.

and with all due respect. i'm done having this 'argument' with you. i don't mean any offense, and honestly respect your opinion, but you clearly aren't in this to have a good discussion about the faults & strengths of this game.

i think you're dead wrong.3picuri3

so we have to respect your opinion but you can't respect ours?
