it depends on what you like. yes when it came out I was playing it with the guys and had a lot of fun.... now it's collecting dust.

not because there are no good party games, but because I like playing alone, laying down holding the controller instead of jumping like a moron infront oof the TV in the middle of the night.... and that sadly is the case with my other friends.. . and so, the thing just collects dust waiting for some game to come out, SMG2 maybe?

I have the game and playing it for 3 days now (thank you people who dont give a crap about street date :P)... and may I say, it's a RE, having a partner really changes the game to no end, but she's really really dumb when played by the AI, and sadly not many people to team up with yet :P

but the story is awsome (so far, didnt finish it yet) and the gameplay is good, after 2 chapters you kinda forget that you cant move and shoot :)

[QUOTE="aalsheh"]hmmm,, I think they'll fall under the pressure if they see that the sales of the game isn't that good and they will release an update to let u move and shoot. It's not an easy update to be done, but they will do it if they see bad reviews and sales to boostjjenkins78x

i do doubt it too, but one can only hope :P

I dont think the sales will convince them since the name alone will boost the sales, but reviews might

i cant believe people actually buy the whole 'being unable to move and shoot creates tension' thing. like seriously? thats just ridiculous. its not tense, its clunky, uncreative, and poor design. to create tension, you have to cultivate an atmosphere of unredictability and danger. resident evil 5's demo was a complete failure in that department. tension is not created by having a horde of guys with hand axes and pitchforks shuffle towards you kind of slowly as you know they will stab you; the number of guys doing it is irrelevant. its predictable, you know whats coming, and the getting hit from behind doesnt add tension. its called a 'cheap shot'. the number of enemies in the game does not suit the controls

you know what would create tension? walking down a hallway and having that freaking dog jump through the window and try to bite your face off. imagine that being randomized. its not hard to do on the next gen consoles. not having any clue when youre going to be attacked, or by what. thats tense. not being able to move and shoot? thats clumsy.

it was a necessity in the old isometric view games, and in resident evil 4 is was ok because we hadnt really seen an alternative. dead space, however, was a better resident evil game than resident evil can manage.

true to the point sir. you see, I dont mind not being to move and shoot, Hell I have my partner to help me (but I dont buy the bull that it does add to the tension, seriously, is that Capcom execuse? are you talking to kids here?)...

what really made me mad about the demo and about the game for that matter (dont get me wrong, im getting the game, today as a matter of fact... hail to ppl breaking sale day :D) but having enimys that really dont get damaged from my shots is just pure BS in this gen... I want to shoot a zombie in the arm and watch it fall off, not just nothing happen,,, WTF, are you serious, just the head explode if i got a head shot... really??? next gen and that's it??? hell even RE2 had more breaking limbs.

[QUOTE="ArisShadows"][QUOTE="6matt6"] and then watch them into hypocrits. This will be highly amusing. II_Seraphim_II

man, a reboot wont be that much of a change. I thought it's a reboot in the story and not the gameplay, at most they might return to the servival horror formula. then again this was just a PR person talking (or a developer or something), when the execs come in and say stick to the damn formula, you stick to the damn formula.

This might be a n00b question, but here goes. when playing a game online does it goes by game region? or account region? or both?

meaning, when I have a region 3 game and I'm in a US account, am I playing with US ppl or region 3 people???? please help

I love how everyone forgets to mention that YOU STILL GET TO PLAY FFXIII ON PS3!!!! I think its cool that 360 owners get to play this game, my only worry is that the game might get scaled down to fit 360 hardware needs. If the game isnt compromised because of the 360 at all, then its the gamers that win.

Losing FFXIII as an exclusive sucks for Sony,b ut they still have lots of awesome games coming out, be it exclusives (Resistance 2, Killzone 2, God of War 3, GT5, MAG, Infamous) or all the multiplats (Far Cry 2, Mercenaries 2, Fallout 3 etc.). To say Sony has lost already is stupid. There is an insane amount of awesome games coming out for both PS3 and 360, so there is no need to say Sony is dead int he water, or that Microsoft is king. My god, some people can be soooooo fickle over ONE game going multiplat. What if Mass Effect 2 or the next Halo were to go multiplat? It would be the same insanity we're seeing right now, just the other way around.

If games arent compromised by going multiplat, more gamers win....

exactly what i was thinking, I mean the gamers win here... and i still dont know why sony or MS fanboys come out and say the other ppl lost??!! dude, unliss u got shares in MS or Sony why the hell u care if a game went to one system or the other?

personally i think it's great that the 360 guys will get to play it.. I got both systems (i got the Wii as will) and I never cared about this stuff. I played MGS4 which is a PS3 game only and personally think it's a great shame that 360 guys wont get to play this awsome game just cause it's sony exclusive...

live it up guys, let more ppl play great games :)
