I can't tell you how offended I was by the Gamespot review of this, especially after playing through the entire game (which I absoultely loved by the way). I no longer have any regard for Kevin Orvard's reviews as he blatantly says things that are completely FALSE. He shouldn't even be allowed to review games anymore on this site considering he outright lies about aspects of games in order to fulfill his own personal agenda.
I always keep talking about how ambitious this game was. That it tried to do SO MUCH that it ended up getting people sort of confused and taken aback, thus responding with negative reviews. Not really sure why people are so afraid of change, progression, and ambition, but I guess that's just how people are. I felt the weapon's system was excellent, and shooting was a BIT clunky, but it was done purposefully in order to make the gameplay feel more real. It did that in order to inject that survival horror aspect that many complained the series has lost. Still, it will never be like it was on the PS1, bc now the story simply doesn't allow for that anymore. Zombies in RE are no longer just isolated to one mansion or town, the world is now completely overrun by them, so to complain about it no longer feeling all survival horror is just dumb.
I really liked the characters as well, and felt the production values were absolutely stellar, and made the game way more exciting. As far as the campaigns, yes, Leon's was the best, but I did appreciate how they gave us not only 3 of them, and an unlockable one, but also that you could control 1 of 2 characters in either one of them. Although once beating all 4 campaigns i never went back to play them again as the other characters bc i just felt that i played the game out. I may go back to it at some point. Chris' campaign i agree was a bit annoying, only because it felt TOO MUCH like Call of Duty at certain points. It was also a bit too easy. Jake's wasn't anywhere near as bad as people complain about, and Ada's was really cool as well.
I can see why people didn't like it, even though their complaints didnt bother me personally, but I don't think any reviewer should've given it anything lower than a 7/10. Great game and I'm excited to see where Capcom takes RE7
