QTE in RE5 were funky. A+X and A+B were fine, but both triggers only worked half the time. I figured out later on that the way to do it is hold down the Right trigger first, then press the Left. It's still pretty stupid.

I'm really liking this game, moreso than RE4. I know that's heresy in some parts, but I'd rather have an armed escort than an unarmed one. Plus, I prefer the pacing of RE5. I actually stopped playing RE4 and came back to it a year later. It just bored me in some parts, especially the castle.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #423 on:** March 16, 2009, 02:45:30 PM »

Just beat it on veteran today. Awesome game, and I think that I enjoyed myself more in this game than in RE4. The aiming on the right analog stick beats the hell out of aiming with the left stick on gamecube. The final boss fight was really crappy and reminded me of Lost Planet, but not quite as crappy. The most challenging and my favorite part of the game had to be in the tribal village with those witch doctor guys and swarms of enemies.Played a little bit of mercenaries, and I can't wait to start a new game and play some co-op. The Sheva AI makes some of the bosses a pain in the ass because she will run right into them and sometimes she gets into loops in which she doesn't even shoot. Awesome game, Dead Space/Willco annihilated, etc.

Himu · « **Reply #424 on:** March 16, 2009, 02:50:17 PM »

I actually think RE4 has the best use of qte in a game. They made the game far more exciting and thrilling for me.

Heh, yeah, a lot of the larger enemies in this game reminded me very much of Lost Planet. The weak point obsession is rather similar. Fortunately, it only applied to a few enemies in RE5 while Lost Planet was based entirely upon that concept.

my problems with inventory is Sheva. WHY CAN'T I MANAGE HER INVENTORY?

And fuck no. The gore sucks.

What do you mean by manage? You can press the bumper and see her inventory in the game to give and request items. She'll automatically combine herbs and reload weapons, so I'm not sure what else you'd want.

The toning down of the gore was for the Japanese version so it wouldn't get a Z rating. RE4JPN was less gory than the American one, for whatever reason they decided not to release different versions of RE5.

Mercenaries mode is awesome.

You really need to play this game co-op to get the full experience. There were so many "oh shit" moments with my friend where we had to work together to figure out what to do, so much fun.

Finally started this tonight, I'm making corned beef and cabbage on the stove, so I figured I can't do much other than play a game and keep an eye on the stove.

I've played through 1-1 and 1-2 so far, and Sheva hasn't pissed me off yet. I'm really enjoying Control Mode D, it's the closest to Dead Space's godly set up.

Himu · « **Reply #429 on:** March 16, 2009, 09:58:36 PM »

I think that chapters 3 (entirety) and 4 (entirety) and 5-1 are the best moments in gaming this gen. The whole package in these chapters (and subchapters) is just amazing.

Started my second playthrough; this is a speed run. I'm 3 hours in this run and I'm almost on chapter 5. I'm going through Amateur this time so I can get S ranks on all the chapters in the game to unlock the infinite rocket launcher.

I've unlocked the gatling gun - I just need to buy it - and I'm on my way to unlocking the Longbow.

I'm getting all the BSAA emblems along the way.

Next playthrough (once I've got the gatling gun and longbow) I'm through Veteran. During that run I'll unlock beasts like the handcannon and prepare for my Professional run.

You can't switch around her shit. It's really annoying. You can't even mix stuff with the ai. You have to exchange or request, mix it yourself, and then send it back or something. It's distinguished mentally-challenged.

Alright, finished up my second playthrough. I replayed the game through amateur so I could have an easy time pulling off all S ranks while I get cash for maxing weapons and getting points for unlockables.

This time though, I played as Sheva. It took time getting used to, but now it's completely second nature. I actually prefer using Sheva than Chris; she's more agile, her melee moves look way cooler, and her taunt is badass.

Maxed out Lightning Hawk - haven't made it infinite yet, due to the 15k point price requirement, got a machine gun infinite ammo, got all the BSAA Emblems, got the all costumes achievement, bought the Handcannon. I haven't gotten S on all stages in Amateur yet due to a few screw ups. I only have about 3-4 more stages I need to get an S ranking on now. Working on unlocking the Longbow, which I'll get tomorrow.

36/50 achievements down. Should knock out about 4 more tomorrow. The real hard one is "Max out all weapons achievement" or something. Seriously.

I should be prepared to take on Veteran mode Wednesday, after unlocking a few characters in Mercenaries and stuff. Due to the AI not really being up to snuff in that mode, I'm going to need all the help I can get. I should be tackling Pro mode before the weekend.

Incredible game. It has more unlockables than RE4 and the replay value is insane.

Like RE4, I like it even MORE after replaying it, even if it was on easy mode this time.

This is without a doubt my game of the year. I can't imagine anything else topping it in terms of unlockables or my SEETHING URGE to play it in the middle of class.

I got two more achievements tonight, one for all the medals (ridiculously easy to find now that there's Youtube walkthroughs!), and then another for all the outfits unlocked immediately after. Also got lucky and got a rotten egg-- time to redo the egg farmin' save glitch for double the cash!

Now I need to play the game on veteran and professional. And I still need to beat the prison stage in Mercenaries with an A-Rank. Like Himuro said, the game definitely feels more replayable than RE4 did, but I still think RE4 is leagues ahead overall. That opinion is not going to change.

Like Himuro said, the game definitely feels more replayable than RE4 did, but I still think RE4 is leagues ahead overall. That opinion is not going to change.

Definitely.

RE4:

- has much better bosses, due to difficulty or the fact they're all unique. RE5's feel cookie-cutter in comparison, but maybe this is just me. I don't like the "Zelda approach to the bosses". In RE4 you use the full environment to be sucessful in boss fights but the "hit the enemy's weakspot!" is never taken into overdrive, except with maybe the final boss.

- has much more charm. "Your right hand comes off?" "Hey, it's that dog!", "Missster Scotttt Kennedyyyy", "YOU'RE small time." etc etc. Chris and Sheva are boring compared to Leon and Ashley. Seriously.

- Better villains. Salazar is the best villain in the series, screw Nemesis. He can't even talk.

- Better environments. The later part of the game would have you put in tons of tight corridors and hallways, this made fighting feel more cramped, especially against Regenerators.

- The enemies in general are better than RE5's. Navistadors, Gaaradors, Regenerators, Iron Maidens, the armour being controlled by plagas, the plagas that jump out of their hosts bodies and chase after you;etc.

- Better QTE's, especially the ones used in battle. RE5's feel tame in comparison for some reason. Most of the time they don't register or you somehow get out of the qte's zone and can't use it anyways. Notice how in RE4, not one qte is offense based unless it's a melee move or counter-attack. In RE5, there are a few moments where you use X to fire or something, and the whole package just ends up feel far more generic.

- Better death animations and gore:

[youtube=560,345]EHsHjrC6BXY[/youtube]

- Remember its series roots in horror:

[youtube=560,345]0YPW0HUpM1I[/youtube]

- A lot tougher. First time I beat it, I died over 50 times. I died maybe 10-12 times in RE5.

RE5:

- Has a better Mercs mode

- Better replay value.

- Has a better story. The trade off here is that because of this the game features honestly no cheesy moments and takes itself MUCH more seriously.

Those are the only things I can think of that I think RE5 is better than RE4 in that isn't something obvious like graphics.

I just finished that same part earlier tonight, I figured I was a goner, but the giant bat set off a proximity mine and the cutscene kicked in.

Bebpo · « **Reply #477 on:** March 19, 2009, 03:35:39 AM »

Been playing at slow pace. Finished the game tonight. Was fun, but as an RE fan I didn't really like it much. The best thing it had going was the graphics and just general fun out of shooting people in the head. The worst thing it had going for it was:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Trying to be a Gears of War ripoff. The last 1/4th of the game was just Gears but shittier and I don't play RE to play Gears. I can play Gears if I want to do that with a better cover system.

-Trying to actually end the storyline of Wesker and maybe RE plotline in general. With a franchise that's been going on for so long you'd expect the final entry to be incredibly epic. Instead it's some short shitty story where you go to a village, an oil refinery, a cave, a tent, an oil tanker, and then RE is over. :\ Also Wesker was totally lame compared to the other games so it was a crap way for him to go out. I think if you are Capcom and you can't write, then it's in your best interest to not close franchise storylines since you will just do it poorly.

-If you're playing 1p, the coop has PROBLEMS at parts where Sheva is distinguished mentally-challenged and you die.

[close]

Game reminded me a lot of MGS4. Great graphics, fun, but a letdown end to the franchise. I'm sure the game is a lot of fun with tons of replayability online with buddies. But I never want to touch the 1p again. The single player is an 8/10 experience IMO. Dead Space was a much better single player game.
