Resident Evil didn't "lose" to those games. The developers of those RE games stopped making those games because of their incompetence/lack of ideas to progress the series.

State of Decay and hell even Last of Us is more Resident Evil than Resident Evil has been in awhile.

Better to stay relevant than to implode into a self parodying idiot parade tho

at least WRPGS had Witcher 2 and Skyrim.

(http://i.minus.com/jdAQvyN94j156.png)

That shit is super overrated to me. Poor graphics, awful controls, mostly boring gameplay. It's hard and it has loot, but what else is really good about that shit. It's a good effort, but an 8/10 tops really. That's being generous.

Probably the most overrated game this gen besides Bioshock.

Demon's Souls or Dark Souls?

Just checking cuz many people often mix them up

Demon's Souls was definitely overrated, lots of tedious bs that tested patience more than any other skill
Also, it was fugly even for last gen

I've only played Dark Souls a little bit but it seems more polished than Demon's Souls
