RE ORC sold 1700000 copies so far , im happy that gamers gave it a fair chance after all the reviews , i was worried too when i seen the review but i liked the trailers and gampley videos so i gave it a try , i was suprised how much fun it was (especially with friends) so after a few days i went to get another copy for local multiplayer and i dont regret it , and the DLC missions which arent even mentioned in the review cuz not being out at the time are even better than the regular campaign (more difficult , new characters and gameplay elements)

Good to see? Good to see a terrible game sell really well based on the title alone? If you say so.

I spent $70 on the collectors edition, and the game was about 3 hours long. All of the new missions should be free, but I know that will never happen. (Yes I know the first one was free)

Honestly, I've enjoyed ORC (doesn't do jack s*** for fans of the series, but it's still a pretty solid shooter :P). Played it on the PS3, and I'm definately buying it on Steam :D.

Bubsy 3D is an old PS1 game. Go look up some videos on youtube and read some reviews. Then come back and tell me what you think of the game. You will think it's a terrible game, because it is. And you won't have to play the game to know it. That's my point. I don't have to play ORC to know it's a bad game. I was actually kinda interested in the game when it was first announced since a full blown RE shooter was a nice idea. Unfortunately as soon as some proper gameplay came out it became clear it was terrible. The critical reception just confirmed what the gameplay footage showed.

Fun fact: I actually snapped my Bubsy 3D disc when I was a kid. My sister stuck her finger in the hole in the disc and got her finger stuck. It wouldn't come off so I snapped the disc in half to get it off. I did it without hesistation. It seemed like a good excuse to break that terrible game!

i dont have ps1 so i cant even consider it , its a funny story you have with the bubsy 3d game ,though id like to hear some valid points why you think the ORC game is bad , i have no problem achnowledging your opinion if you back it up with some arguments , i hope you can also accept that i like the game after spending dozens of playtime hours with the game , its one of the best co-op games ive played recently , other than not being able to matchmake DLC missions there is really nothing that makes me complain , i like coop games very much and i can excuse minor bugs if theyre not game breaking which isnt the case here

Does 3DS have a 130million+ install base? :P

Anyway, not a good sign IMO. Slap on popular name + make crappy shooter = million+ seller...

I don't care. COD made it's name as a shooter and built it's popularity on that. RE did not.

As I said, slap on popular name (Resident Evil) + make crappy shooter (RE ORC) = million+ seller.

why do you think orc is "crappy" ? you should give it a try - it's fun , gameplaywise its even better than RE4 & RE5 because you can move and shoot at the same time

With all the 3DS sales, you'd think it would raise a bit.

GTFO. The controls and aiming in the game are god awful, I'll take not being able to aim and shoot any day of the week. I rented it and played the first two missions before sending it back, it was absolutely awful from what I played, bland shooting, spent more time killing idiotic spec ops members than actual zombies and they seemed to thin that "challenge" means "mentally challenged" AI and throwing tons of Lickers at you.

Game isn't all that bad, people are just watching reviwes and not forming opinions for themselves. Either way it proves that RE fans want action games.. maybe if this game bombed capcom would change their approach but the fans condemning them are the same fans buying the games.

Its a fun game... but the content seems limited. The DLC for it should have been free.

The game is garbage, but try telling that to the RE die hards over on the RE ORC boards. They will defend this garbage game to the grave. It just sad that people will buy crap games just because of the title on the cover ugh.

its even more sad that people like you fail to imagine that someone might like what you dont like, i have no reason to defend the game since i dont give a crap what others that dont even played it think of the game , but since people are allowed to bash it i used my right to express a positive opinion , i learned my lesson today , argueing with you guys is pointless , dont expect any more "unpopular game" topics :P

I believe people bought the game on the promise of nostalgia and not because the game itself. Operation Raccoon City is one of the most mediocre games released on recent years.

its not the fact he dislikes the game that made me say it ( i was not even being serious) , but the exaggerated way he called it crap , im not claiming this game is anywhere perfect or special , i agree it has many flaws (like even praised games such as skyrim and fallout have) and also unused potential , however yet its still fun to play , not as a RE sequel but as a coop shooter standalone game , just as syndicate coop was fun imo (despite a higher review score it had even worse technical issues) , to be fair i also admit my overall quality standards may be lower if a game includes levelling up , unlocking stuff , shooting and coop cause thats what i like to do

Nice to hear. The game is actually a solid shooter, and a very fun co-op game.

Well keep at it Capcom you have shown us that consumer will continue to put up with your inane practices.

Game already has $20 in DLC and was extremely short and unbalanced multiplayer, doesn't deserve those numbers.

My problem is I don't really want to spend the money on a game that I can tell may be dissapointing by watching videos and reading multiple reviews. $60 is a lot when there are other games of higher quality that I want to play also. It might be a game that I could have some fun with, but if it really looks as messy and buggy as the videos show and reviews mention than I will use the money and time on a different game.

Well I have actually played the game and I thought it was pretty bad. It was incredible how uninteresting the environments and characters were. I didn't know it was possible to make a co-op shooter in raccoon city boring but my god, they did it. Bullet sponge enemies were also not fun to fight especially with limited ammo and the A.I. was shockingly bad. Add on some dated graphics with unreliable controls and you have a mess of a game.
