GamerBOB posted 20/03/2009, 06:30
Probably not the thread for this but people trying to claim that 360 higher sales are due to RROD are just ignorant of the facts. M$ has fixed a huge amount of them. Turn around is 10 to 15 days (from my own experience) on having the problem fixed. People that say they have gone through multiple Xboxs tend to be lying fan boys.

I've had problems with both of my 360s they have both been fixed promptly and to my satisfaction. I must admit I've had no problems with my PS3 allthough I do play it less.

Any way, back on topic. I was stating that I thought US sales of RE5 on PS3 vs. 360 would be closer than they are. Mostly based on the fact that the series is so popular amoungst hardcore Sony fans. Not a slam or a praise for either system.

I love the game and hope it does well. I think the controls are very similar to RE4. It's not that scarry but hella fun.

Re5 was awesome but it was too much of a recycled RE4 in terms of gameplay. Story was lacklustre and the fast pace is great, but not RE.

Im a huge RE fan and personally I prefer the old games that were actually scary as RE games, but as an action type game, Resident Evil 5 is amazing.

@Phoenix_Wiight
I can not believe you would say that. You sir, are not a real RE fan. RE was never about Zombies, it was about developing a biological weapon, to be used against people and to make people into a biological weapon. Sure at first this meant zombies, if you ever actually read the documents found, game per game you would notice. In zero it talks about the origin of the virus. In code veronica they mention an origin point of the leeches. Each RE is just building on top of that, if it changes genre it can't hurt it, because it never was a specific genre, when RE4 came out, it wasn't a new strain, but a whole new idea on bio-weapons, which of course was a plagus. In RE4 they even talk about finding the origin, which is linked to Africa.

Who is the real RE fan here, someone who just thinks it's about zombies, or someone who actually played and understood the changes?

Phoenix_Wiight posted 19/03/2009, 07:36
cant believe people actually "love" this game, though I suppose those people are non-RE fans. i can't believe i'm actually gona say this, but Bioshock was even scarier than this game.

It took RE4, put better graphics in, then took out everything that made RE4 still an RE game.

RE4 wasn't scary, but it was atleast EERIE and FREAKY. I had forgot I was even playing an RE game while I was playing 5. This game is just a cheesey action game. Zombies on motercycles, zombies with guns, get the hell out.

I already knew the game was going to suck before it came out, but I had hopes that atleast the plot was good- and boy was I wrong. It took the ever epic Wesker and made him look like a puss. I loved how they made the game cliche, with plot about *SPOILERS* changing the world, taking over, and things like that *END SPOILERS.* I used to love Wesker. I never liked Chris that much, but I used to have an appriciation for him. I thought Sheva would be cool, but WOW, lamest characterization ever.

The last hour of the game was good. The rest of the game was decent to bad.

Thanks Capcom.

Outstanding game! RE4 was my favorite video game of all time until now - RE5 now has that honor. Yes, its strayed from its original "horror" roots, but in my opinion its for the better. Its basically RE4 on steroids, and who doesn't like that?

this game tore my heart away from RE. if this is the way theyre going with the series, the only capcom franchise I'll still like is Ace Attorney. thanks for making me waste another 60 bucks, capcom. biggest disapointment in a while.

terrible story- "hey, im a girl, i wana save africa, lets go."
"hey, i'm chris, lets do it."

i forgot I was playing a RE game the whole time. not eerie, not freaky, not at all scary.

"It" is the boss down in the cave. At first you have to battle through those downfalling sections with the green lamps. You have to shoot them to get in the next section. Later he´s digging into the ground and tries to cut you in parts.

Got it! The game rocks!

Just finished the first bos, one crazy mothafocker... In the style of that thing you have to fight in RE4 in the underground complex (chapter 4 or 5?) With the red eyes... But even crazier! XD. Wasn't too hard.

I recommend you play the game on the hardest mode, those crazy zombies just run at you!!! And there's plenty of moments where you'll be scared (a little). At least there's the tense atmosphere!

Limited edition FTW!
