Resident Evil 7

You have a very poor understanding of how companies work, don't you? If anyone gets punished for this game, it's going to be whatever fool decided to take their new IP and slap Resident Evil on it, shoehorn in a few oblique nostalgia references, and call it a AAA game.

Game devs make good money, I hate to tell you this. It's a very high demand art form. It's hard work, don't get me wrong, but you're also a very skilled professional, likely with a few college degrees. And if you don't treat your employees well, they'll be more than happy to take a walk for, say, Sony, Square Enix, Nintendo, or even American companies (as Capcom themselves found out with Shinji Mikami and Bethesda).

Health: Fair enough. I guess I wasn't playing Re6 right then, since I don't think I ever took the skill that let me completely heal myself by being in cover for five seconds. I'm such a n00b, I guess, having to heal myself with herbs and first aid sprays.

Firefights: Don't remember Re6 at any points turning into twenty guys with AKs all targeting me and ignoring my squad, the same way they do in COD. I guess we were on different difficulties then.

Stealth Section: I'll give you that one. It's a good thing Re7 has absolutely no stealth at all anywhere ever, right? It's a good thing avoiding combat isn't a core fucking mechanic in the original games, right?

Sniper Section: Well, in that case, I guess the multiple times you have to cover Ashley with your rifle in Re4, the two sniper sections in Re5, and the entire fucking Nosferatu boss fight in CV are also COD influenced, then. Wow, Resident Evil has been like COD for a lot longer than I think either of us realized.

Tank Section: The plane? Seriously? That's a QTE. I'd forgotten about the motorcycle chase, I'll allow, but it's still not quite the same thing since the tank missions in COD, specifically COD 2 and WaW are just about you killing everything, while the one in Re6 is there to be a change of pace from the normal run and gun. Also, I guess that's not at all like the Savannah section of Re5, right?

Redundant Weapons: I guess I've not played Re2 enough to see all the inherent differences between the Hi Power and 92FS, or enough of Re3 to notice what makes the Sig 2009 different from the Samurai Edge. And I suppose I imagined how every fucking character in Re4, Re5, and both Revelations games had their own sidearms that function more or less identically, right? There's a huge fucking difference between the SMGs in either Revelations game, or the XD9 and Silver Ghost in Re4, or the Beretta 92FS and Sig P226 (as far as functionality; capacity buffs are absurd) or the Hydra and Striker in Re5, isn't there? And everyone in the Chronicles  games have completely unique weapons, don't they? And the differences between the M1911, Glock 17, and Makarov in Resident Evil 7 are so numerous I could fill a book with them.

Multiplayer: So, the one thing that makes COD COD doesn't apply here, but your argument is still valid because you say it is? Got it.

Globetrotting Campaign: Yes, because we spent all of Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles in Raccoon City in 1998 as Albert Wesker and Leon Kennedy, didn't we? And we never went to Antarctica in Code Veronica, right? That definitely didn't happen. And we sure as hell didn't play as anyone but Jill Valentine in Revelations, and we definitely never played as anyone but Barry Burton in the sequel, right?

Chase sequences: So, I guess I imagined the boulder sequences in the REmake and Re4, the giant Salazar statue also in Re4, and the ridiculous Indiana Jones bullshit in Re5? Also, there's never been a timed escape sequence in any of the games, right? We didn't have to race against time to stop the train in Re0, or to escape the Mansion in the original game, or the labs in Re2, or the entire city in Re3, or the exploding island on a jet ski in Re4, or the exploding oil field and exploding fucking oil tanker in Re5. Clearly Capcom went too far by having things like that in Re6 when they're nowhere to be seen anywhere ever in the rest of the series, right?

Also, probably my favorite mechanic in COD I wish they had had carried over into Re6 is the inventory system. It's a real challenge, in a good way, to make sure I have enough ammo for my weapons while still having space for healing items and grenades. I really wish Capcom hadn't sold out and gone with the generic "two weapons; regenerative health" system so many other action games use. And I hate how I can just kill an enemy and walk over their body for ammo; it should be like COD where you have to scavenge for supplies and be judicious with your shots. After all, Call of Duty is a game that's all about inventory management, right?

TL, DR Drink Coke, try again.

My post wasnt directed towards anyone, way to randomly victimize yourself, not COD is a game loved by millions, its audience is huge and is hugely larger than REs comparing the two is silly, it'd be like comparing those xbox indie avatar games to something like Assassins Creed...like why? again, not directed towards anyone, just posting my opinion on the popularity in regards to others opinions since this is a highly opinionated forum after all

I'll comment in reference to you comparing score reviews of two completely different games.

One game ranked higher than the other on most platforms, with little to no criticism but the game's short length, while the other was criticized for several faults it had, including under developed mechanics compared to previous titles, and especially its "low budget" feel. Guess which is which.

Let's not forget that like with any other media there is payola involved, and I consider any review with "HERPADERP GOING BACK TO ROOTS" statement irrelevant here because it's simply hype created by Capcom's PR team.

The general sentiment I gathered from the forums here was that Revelations 2 was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I personally thought it had more spirit and was a good RE experience, despite its so called budget.

For those who think that Ethan has no head during the gameplay ...

He is headless during Ghost mode, because camera exits the body along with his head.

Ethan looks more Chris than Chris. Lmfao

Ohh C'mon man... really ? are awesome shoes
