Post your impressions about RE5 360 demo

[QUOTE="Burning_Sun"][QUOTE="CB4McGusto"]

I've never played Resident Evil 4 and I found the gameplay in RE5 to be very disapointing.

• Why can't I shoot and run at the same time?
• Why do I have to go into an inventory screen that pauses me but not the game just to reload? The dpad buttons only allow me to switch weapons and health, but not ammo. WTF? Not only that, but when I go into the inventory screen for a second I get raped by zombies. WTF why do I even need an inventory screen, this ain't no damn RPG and this ain't 1995 CAPCOM!!!!!!!
• Why can't I reload? I go into the inventory screen and select the ammo for my handgun, but I get no option to use, just to either give to my partner or combine. I often found myself running around with ammo that I can't put in my gun.
• Ammo, health, gold, etc. is all hidden within barrels, fruit, or dead zombies that melt into the ground.:| Nice realistic feel to the game, WTF those goofy japanese and their fantasy BS!
• Why am I so dependent on my partner? The only thing she does is heal me, she never gives me ammo which I have but cant use! Not only that but stopping to help her everytime she get's hurt is a pain in the @$$. Hell atleast in Gears all you'd have to do is clear the area of enemies if Dom was down, but noooooooo in this dumb game if your partner dies the mission is over.
• Why can't I dodge enemy attacks? Where's the button prompt to dodge? I can stomp, kick, uppercut, punch, but can't dodge. :|

[QUOTE="DeadMan1290"][QUOTE="Eyezonmii"]I'm not the one complaining and crying over a video game, just simply trying to see what his really doing and make sense and further more, correct him..since his arguments are flawed...but now i know...just hateful bashing posts. SpruceCaboose

I wouldn't know, M$ wont let you play it unless you give them money and Im not gonna pay for Xbox Live just to play a demo i can play for free in a week on my PS3unknown37

Just create another profile on your 360, sign up to Live and you will get a free month of gold. You can have up to 5 gamer profiles on your 360, and you will get a free month of gold with each one. Just found this out today myself, and I got the demo.

[QUOTE="Aljosa23"][QUOTE="DeadMan1290"] The thing is you're not gonna change the guy's opinion on the game. You loved it, he was disappointed, that's it.:|Eyezonmii

[QUOTE="DeadMan1290"] Alright, now I'm completely confused:P.....But, yeah, ironic......Big deal anyways:|SpruceCaboose

I hated it. Having to monitor Sheva's health and ammo is a feature that crushes any possibility of fun. It also doesn't help that the weapon changing is the worst I've ever seen. It takes forever to select something, and when you finally find what you were looking for, you're already dead. Dead Space's weapon switching was fine; it's an example of how it's done right.dracula_16

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="Eyezonmii"] Um, reloading is left trigger and A (aim and the Run button) lol, wth are you on about? the quick invetory is much better and ads to the tension of needing to be quick and knowing when to swap give ammo, etc. You can also set what ever ammo you lik to what ever button. REALOADING A GUN IS ( LEFT TRIGGER AND A BUTTON...so aim and press the A button) this isn't gears of war, but resident evil....in real-life people run and avoid, they don't dive, backflip and bounce all over the place ALA gears of war.

I didn't do that. RE4 is a game I'm very familiar with, and I know that it's different from a shooter. RE5 is just a commercialized version of RE4.

[QUOTE="Synthetic_NinJI"][QUOTE="Eyezonmii"] i was talking about gameplay mechanics, NOT the entire game....please better read, before posting.Eyezonmii

:lol:

I didn't too much like the demo. The gameplay feels a bit outdated. I don't like the fact that you can't shoot and run and the inventory is a bit of a destraction during gameplay.

Jim Sterling over at Destructoid sums up my feelings in a nutshell, and says many of the things I said myself previously. Here is a write up he has done against all of the hatred and complaints, entitled, 'RE5-What's bloody problem?' Good little read, check it out:

Well, I sure did it today with no problem. I only had one profile, until I found out today that you could do it. Sure enough, after I selected that I did not want to buy a gold package, I was prompted that I was eligible for a free month of gold. Don't know what to tell you, bud. Worked for me fine.

short...

controls are a bit clunky but then it wouldnt be RE if it didnt have clunky controls lol. The action is intense and fun, but from the demo it seems besides the limited guns and in game item menu thing there has been absolutely no change since RE4 in gameplay. The ai sidekick goes freaking rambo and chews through bullets and items (i had to replenish her ammo before the infected even busted into the house). Graphics are pretty too

Overall: its resident evil and its awesome. Would buy day one but i am completely out of cash for games so i probably wont pick this up till mid summer along with Killzone 2.

Like I said earlier in past threads, Resident Evil's new controls are starting to already show their age. They still work, but are hardly as intuitive as they were five years ago.

P.S. if this demo is anything to go by, P2P would kill this game for me, I'm always getting diconnected like fiive minutes in. I'd say I'm leaning towards the PS3 version right now for the better D-Pad to make switching items that much easier, and hopefully more stable online.

easiest RE i've ever played thank to fruit ammo / grenades. ridiculously easy compared to 4, will not buy unless i see extra difficutly modes i don't have to unlock for retail.

i don't buy survival horror to walk through it with enough ammo to fire crazily in to the sky at the end, i expect a challenge. i expect to feel tense / frightened.. but the only time i feel that is when i struggle with the stupid controls.

overall, not impressed... but will wait for full reviews as this is just 2 levels. hopefully the weakest in the game.
