RE5
almost no new guns were introduced
Sheva's A.I. is HORRIBLE and the game is a LOT less fun if you're playing it by yourself because of her. Ashley was smarter in RE4, which is SO PATHETIC.
The environments after the main urban area, past 2-2, were just bland, I felt like I was in a cave the rest of the game from that point on.
The boss battles, you're either on a turret or you need the help of a CAPABLE teammate so Sheva is basically no help, especially whe you fight Irving. All she did was waste the ammo she had and than just sat there. The 2nd Wesker battle is also a LOT harder because of her. The first time i did that boss battle by myself it took me an hour because Sheva would either not grab him, or not inject him. with a friend it will take 7 minutes at MAX.
The villagers weren't as creepy, I liked all the chanting the monks did in RE4, really gave them some character.
The Merchant is gone, what the hell?
The treasure system was simplified. I liked how RE4 had the combinable treasures. They definitely rewarded players who chose to play through the game multiple times.
If you sell your guns in RE5 you get the smallest fraction of your $ back.
Chris Redfield isn't as cool as Leon S.Kennedy.
The in-game QTE's later in the game, later part of chapter 3 and above, are utterly broken.
Finally, the game was just too damn short, first run took me 12 hours. Not bad, but once you start playing through again you'll clock in @ under 6 hours guaranteed. Being able to carry over your guns to any difficulty also hampered the replay value. It makes the higer difficulties a cakewalk. Professional is easy if you're playing with a human player.
