First of all. I like Resident evil 5 more. I guess u could say my opinion is biased a bit so ill try to explain my point of view.
I played all cannon resident evil games. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. I also played remake remastered(bought it actually as well as re0, didnt finish it tho). I have deep respect for first resident evil games, tho i think re3 was just a game imitating RE2 to make more money. You have racoon city, zombies, puzzles, Nemesis(tyrant) same cameras angles and graphics. And it ends same way. Big Boom!!!
Also i have to first person who likes original resident evil better than remake. I liked mansion design better. A lot. Anyway back to the point. I dont understand the hate on resident evil 5. When people talk aboute resident evil series, they usually go till 4 was awesome, worshipping they say, and after that re5 was meeeehh and re56 was a disaster.
Their argument is based on only scene from RE5. You all know it. Chris punching a rock at the end. Just because of that, people dislike the game. Other argument is its too much action for RE. Those were only arguments they presented. Oh and roided chris.
So lets start with chris punching a rock. Yes, it is a silly moment but guys put urself in chrises shoes. You are in the middle of volcano, lava is around you, sheva is hanging and u have giant rock before you. You would try to push it, even kick it not punch for sure because you would break your arm, even as chris. At least the logic is there. Now lets look at resident evil 4. Remeber the scene with giant salazar statue? You have levers on different floors and you get up on statues hands to open something i dont even remember and then that statue chases you and falls off a bridge cause it cant support it... What was the purpose of that? And that scene with fire prison when there is cage that rotates and u have to jump in to get something.... Castle in re4 is big logical mistake. How about sending leon, to spain(different country and language), alone to find PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER. What would president of USA do if some stupid cult kidnapped his daugher? not send one man army for sure. What we have in RE5. Chris and sheva arrive to african village undercover to assist BSAA team catching biological terrorist IRVING. They are not 2 people army. Story elads you to believe that chris and sheva were to assist catching Irving but ended up alone due to unpredictable wesker appearance and bioweapons. Story makes you understand that chris and sheva were never 2 men army but were in a team of spec ops. Thats more believable.
Now the action part. Was re4 very scary? Like honestly? It has same mechanics in both games. Shoot a leg, punch/kick, stab to death. Profit, no ammo wasted. Was re4 scary? No. None of resident evils was scary because there is a difference between pure horror and survival horror. Both RE4 and RE5 are the same. The way i see it is Far cry 3 and Far Cry4. Resident evil 5 is just better version of RE4. Just more hollywoodish.
About roided chris? Oh please. So he used steroid to try kicking wesker's ass cause the dude killed his partner. Is that reason to hate?
So here a list of my pro's and cons about resident evil 5:
Lets start with cons i guess: Uroboros. I. Hate. Tentacle. Monsters. They are not scary, they look bad, and they ruin all resident evil point. I Dont know Japanese obsession with tentacle monsters. I hated RE7 Tentacle mosnters or goo ones whatever. Not enough wesker. Wesker in this game, was SPECTACULAR. But its same story as with Vaas And Pagan Min. Awesome villains... too little time on screen. Another con, wesker motivation. Having god complex is such a cliche like... Come on capcom... And its same motivation as RE4 sadler. Wesker was above all that, he was always in the shadows doing side jobs... And chris ending monologue. "Every day i think if its worth fighting for... (pause) Yeah is!" End. -.-
Desperate Escape. Looks cheap and forced. Executioner majinis on the island? Please....
AI wastes bullets and medkits.
Now the Pros!!!
Visuals. We are in 2017 and i enjoy RE5 image. It looks decent even after 8 years.
Cinematics. Stunning cinematics. its only game that you wanna see cutscenes.
I am not even mad that wesker died. He was villain for almost every game. Its time to move on.
Lost in Nightmares. Pleasant reference to RE1 with jill. At least you can see that creators tried to do fan service and did it well.
Techincal part. Amazing. Not single crash, perfect pc controls perfect camara. AI is capable of dodging and doing what u tell it to do. Except the part i mentioned above.
Fun, relaxing Co-Op.
If you decide to beat game on pro mode without inf ammo. Surivaval horror awaits you.
Jill twist! Come on, no one expected spanish inquisition
Amazing Wesker. When u fight against him u feel powerless.
So yeah, i do think resident evil 5 is better than re4 and re6. I dont understand all the hate for re6 because yes, it was money milking but it is HUGE FAN SERVICE. leon campaign isnt bad at all.Zombies, streets, Even outbreak elements during shop defending against zombie horde.
