should get it on friday or thursday
can't wait. RE4 had little horror to me (Seriously, it wasn't a horror game) and to be honest, just knowing its more of the same is exciting to me. Can't see the issue people have with that, or the control scheme - I played it some time last year and liked it.
I liked Resi 4 a lot but for me it just didn't feel like Resi Evil, apparently 5 has even less of a daunting lonesome spooky factor.
I'm sure it's gonna be a great game all the same and I'm one who doesn't give a flying fuck for walking+shooting, it's nice to be able to do but it's not a game destroying design choice not to include it.
I am cacking my pants for when i get home
wait for their next attempt at failure instead
I NEED AMMO!!!
*opens menu, selects ammo, selects give, closes sub menu, selects gun, selects equip, closes menu* DEAD....
Jesus...
odium, just give sheva weapons that don't use the same ammo as the ones you use, she'll stop bothering you for ammo after that. then you've just got to put up with her bad herb management

Burnout is doing it right. Rock Band is doing it right.
I might even argue, no games till after I lose the 10 lbs I'll likely gain from sitting on my ass for 2+ months.
RE5 and SF4 will be my reward for finishing.
I sure wish the Wii had better graphics...I'd much rather play this with the remote pointer.
*EDIT* Also: what is the deal with Chris's neck/shoulder/chest area?
Surely the fact that it's a solid, and more importantly, fun game is all that truely matters?
I was also mighty glad with the sheer amount of bonus/unlockable content and the ability to watch all the cutscenes ( I miss that! ).
Fuck everyone that craves for even more Gears mechanics in all AAA titles.
also i've only found 2 BSAA emblems so far. not sure if that is good or bad....
the lighting looks fantastic, anyone know of any "making of" or technical info releases on this game?
Overall, very good, but not as good as RE4. Where I would probably give RE4 a 10/10, so far RE5 would score a "mere" 9/10 with me
I miss the "what are ya sellin?" guy. They should have made him a regular part of the series. He seemed so random and out of place the first time I played RE4, but I became quite attached to him by the end. Really, he is the "G-Man" of the RE series at this point for me, why ditch him?
RE should have NEVER made the leap to co-op or, they should have just included a completely separate campaign for it. Having a partner, even an NPC one, really eliminates the "fear" factor. This just seems so obvious to me and such a poor design decision: being alone in an abandoned house or creepy location is 100x more frightening alone than with a buddy. I am not sure WTF they were thinking when they decided to make RE5 co-op :-s
The fact that the new inventory system does not pause the action really sucks. Or possibly I need to learn how to map items to the d-pad ...
So actually very few complaints from me do far. I am playing through it solo with an NPC Sheva and hope to give it a full run through with a real person as well at some point. However, like I said, I just think that the RE series works better as a solo experience and wish they would have stuck with it.
Oh and did i forget to say that the game is overflowing with sexy visuals. DAMN! The real time lighting, and the shaders they have...fucking epppppiiiiiicccccc.
my eyes are on stalks
dont get me wrong, i love this game it just that they could have made it better.
like:
- keeping the merchant
- same upgrade system
- combination of treasure to sell for higher price.
i think there should have been a larger inventory like RE4. they could still have kept the quick inventory too.
Been playing the game a lot this weekend with a buddy and it works pretty well. Got used to the controls but would still prefer to be able to walk and shoot. Can´t really understand why we don´t get a full screen though
PS: FUCKING ZOMBIES WITH HELMETS! GAH GAH GAH!
Started playing last night. It's a fun game although gameplay is very linear with pretty much no breaks between action sequences, which makes it a slightly hysterical experience. The limited inventory and the fact that going through it doesn't pause the game anymore doesn't help either. There's not much left of the exploration and puzzle stuff from the old games.. I think so far (3-1) I haven't even seen a single puzzle that would deserve to be called that.
But still it is very much what I was expecting after RE4, and while it's more of a shooting gallery now the game is still tons of fun and it looks great.
Well... Oddly, it turned me around about a third of the way through. Long game, longer than I thought I would be, certainly longer than Killzone 2. Miles better than Killzone 2 as well...
In all honesty, I ended up enjoying it a hell of a lot. Really, really good game. But damn, there ARE huge flaws with it. Inventory, AI partner, and silly "help" situations when your partner can't get to you... But in the end they just made it hard, but not impossible.
Graphics wise, its awesome. Really good, miles better than anything else out on either platform. The cutscenes were very Metal Gear as well, they put a lot of effort into them...
The game, for me, is both flop of the year and game of the year. It did so much right, but so much wrong. Its probably the best game I've played in a long time, but the most annoying and stupid... I honestly can't get my head around it. For every positive, there is a negative. For every negative, there is a positive... One things for sure, I beat the end boss without taking a single hit. Thats not normal
Right then, now onto maxing out all my weapons, and completing Shiva's single player game (Which is SINGLE, not together).
On with the show
one thing that rally stroke me was how fast you go from one environment to another totally different one without any explanation or distance indication.
Other than that, tons tons tons of fun on coop, taking one specific weapon and keeping it is awesome, the exchange system is quite cool too, same with the loot sharing when coop-ing
we're at the last boss, had to stop playing but I'll probably beat it tomorrow, again ,lots of fun
You know... i wonder how much the DMC franchise has influenced RE. I remember reading years back, the original DMC game was supposed to be a new RE game.
Ever since Code Veronica, RE hasn't been the same type of game.
The one I was on about was the huge BOW where you use the laser on it. Would be piss easy if Sheva actually shot the black things it throws off. Instead, I had to keep dropping the gun, shooting them, picking it up, ducking, dropping the gun, shooting the box, dropping the gun, shooting them.... etc etc... was a right pain...
Yea, I hope they bring him back at some point in the future
He was supposed to be a merc, that you would buy and sell items with. For some reason they dropped it... Probably because MGS4 totally ripped off the idea of a Merchant really and it would of been too much of the same.
It makes me sad they took out larger inventory cases (Thats REALLY needed IMO) and yellow herbs
is blissfully beautiful in spots, and kinda meh in others. Lots of little quarks, definitely agree with you Odium, for every one or two fucking awesome things, there is one thing that makes me cringe.
Definitely had fun though, want to go through on Hard now in co-op.
