Title: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 21, 2013, 12:25:41 PM: In celebration of RE5 finally being announced after the franchise has had a long 8 year break, talk about how fucking awesome RE4 is.

I just passed the part with the giant Salazar statue. You cross the bridge and the giant statue takes it out-- the game is like "NOPE, STILL NO BACKTRACKING" after you've been running forward through unique maps for like 12 hours aside from very light backtracking to get into the church. Been through here a bunch of times, but it still gives me the chills, knowing the next chapter is gonna be somewhere completely different that I haven't visited yet.

BAN HIM

In all seriousness, I like how they gradually introduce the enemies. RE5 is like zombies with chain guns right off the bat...by RE6 it's basically a well trained and disciplined zombie army.

Post by: Himu on April 21, 2013, 12:53:14 PM: Best game ever. 360 version controls take getting used to but after that it is go time.

The fucking labs are coming up soon for you Don. :bow

This is false. They don't use guns in RE5 until the last two chapters.

Post by: Don Flamenco on April 21, 2013, 01:06:04 PM: aren't they in that early rail section? oh well, im prob misremembering.

and yeah, psyched for the labs. just waiting for the sun to go down to play (it shines right on my TV), hopefully beat this thing today.

I like the end of the previous chapter, where you get up to the door and think you're gonna just head right through to the tower. NOPE, gotta get through a giant underground section first to get the key! My mind was blown the first time I played that part.
Title: Re: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Himu on April 21, 2013, 01:08:24 PM: Enemies don't take out guns until you're well into the manufacturing plant and lab. The first time they introduce guns they also introduce the cover.mechanic and that is at the end of the game.

Nah. It was trash. It had awful forced co-op design with tedious levels and enemies. Nothing about it was interesting. It just gets worse and worse. Finally you're Gears of War-ing it up with THE WORST COVER MECHANICS in video games.
Title: Re: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Himu on April 21, 2013, 03:48:37 PM: Forced co op design? You mean the game I 1000d by myself without ever playing co op? Trash design? It is mostly the same as RE4 with less variety and even RE5 has moments that shine (the swamp lands, the sun palace). You mention GoW cover shooting but RE4 had the SAME EXACT THING.

it's got the TPS part down and a fair amount of unlockables including mercs which makes it worth playing for sure, but it is a step down from RE4 in all other areas.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on April 21, 2013, 03:55:05 PM: The entire game is designed around co-op. Regardless of how you played it, it's a co-op game first and foremost and it's terrible. And I do not recall RE4 having cover mechanics at all. It got shooty at the end, and it was when the game started to lose me (as mentioned before), but it goes FULL BRO SHOOTER in RE5 and is aggressively bad.
Title: Re: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Himu on April 21, 2013, 03:55:28 PM: RE5 has superior replay value, more collectibles and unlockables, better Mercs mode (being online), and more tight controls. However, it isn't as well designed as RE4, lacks its hilarity and AAA script, difficulty, and sense of isolation. RE4 is best game all time material. RE5 was just goty status. That doesn't make it bad though. No game I replay 5-6 times with a clock of 50 hours can be bad.

I can understand not liking RE5 as much as 4. I don't either. But the endless hyperbole surrounding 5 is annoying. Speaking as someone who 100%d the game without touching co op once I think a lot of people discredit the game without any merit.

Irrational haters gonna hate, Himu.

RE5 is like the first girl you kinda get serious with after that major relationship to date in your life. You had some fun with her... but couldn't stop comparing her to that earlier girl, and it just didn't work! Or something. You guys can find me writing reviews of games for Jezebel, coming soon.

Post by: fistfulofmetal on April 21, 2013, 04:04:42 PM: When we play through MGS3 we know having to constantly change camo and eat can get a bit tedious but the game as a whole is a fantastic experience and we can forgive the minor flaw.

When we play through HL2 we know the airboat sequence goes a little long but the game is such a bar rising experience that the small fault can be forgotten.
Title: Re: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 21, 2013, 04:05:06 PM: i think, at best, it's a lateral move for the franchise. Some things took a step back, some things improved...everything seems to have a counter aspect that sucks/is good. It's like RE4.2 or RE3.8, depending on how you look at it. That's why i'm calling mikami's new game RE5

HL2 is a bit "you had to be there." When I played it, I could recognize the awesomeness, but also felt it dragged and was too long in the tooth.

It's also a pretty terrible co-op game. Like did they not have any ideas they could use? Did they just see Gears and felt the need to half ass co-op in the game with no interesting co-op situations.

And if you don't play co-op. The boss battles are just kind of silly in how dumb the ai behaves.

Again, false. Great co op game. You say there's no interesting co op situations when I can think of plenty right off the bat. Like the Licker room where one person is stuck inside a room while another snipes lickers from afar. These lickers SWARM THE ENTIRE ROOM so you have to think fast and group together in order to just survive. Never mind the whole hold Jill in order to beat her situation. It is like half of RE5 dissenters haven't played it.

You're right about the bosses but the boss fights are all shit and the biggest flaw in the game.

I prefer 1 to REmake. Remake is too tedious for me (burning bodies, crimson heads). It really isn't fun to play. But it is great for a first time.

you tried the ds port of re1? it adds in all the contoller shortcuts of re4, and has its own remix option to change some other stuff around. i picked it up on a whim and ended up playing through it like 4 times. game is a blast when it cuts down on some of the tedious menu stuff.

Post by: Himu on April 22, 2013, 01:54:58 AM: I forgot Code Veronica! Deffo the worst RE. Game is straight up shit. Sup 40 minute gaps between save points. Sup shitty enemies like Bandersnacthes. Sup shitty bosses like the Tyrant on the plane where you have to use ALL YOUR AMMO ON IT. Sup Steve Burnside aka worst RE character!

Shit game and any RE fan who holds it in esteem is fucking loco including CVXfreak. Don't give a shit, CV is straight garbage.

2 is the best of the classic games. Love that game so hard.

Post by: Himu on April 22, 2013, 02:01:56 AM: Forgot how CV is the game that brought about the crap where RE finally takes itself seriously on top of reviving Weaker. Terrible game, top to bottom.

I'm gonna buy it during the sale, but last time I tried it I got stuck on the plane with no ammo, then swore off the series...until 4 came out, of course.

i have never played a full resident evil game ever and i dont plan on it tbh

:heh :yeshrug

c'mon, you have to play RE4! its the non-RE fan's RE. and I don't mean it's an everyman game, I mean there's universal consensus that it's one of the GOAT.

does the PC version suck
Of RE4? Yes, it's a bad port of the PS2 version. You're better off playing the GC version through Dolphin.
Title: Re: Brown graphics, QTEs, escort missions, context sens moves-- an RE4 thread
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 22, 2013, 04:40:39 PM: Go for the Wii version, it supports real controllers and you'll get the PS2 extras with it. and it might run better in Dolphin.

that upres'd is basically the console HD version. except you get to add anti-aliasing, which Capcom couldn't be assed to do for the HD version :'(

CVX is AWFUL.

Killing Zone and Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi are awful. RE:CVX is just a bit boring and mediocre and long in the tooth.

PS3 port ain't so bad, only saw a few inconsequential frame drops, and it could use AA, but the audio is pretty terrible.
