So, the Resident Evil Purists are pretty much dead, right?


Recommended Posts

re4 was one of the best games from its gen, but theres a fair amount of tedium that keeps me from loving it.

 

the core action gets tedious especially the parts that are straight up wave based shooter. also adding to the tedium (and hindrance to re-plays) is the full fledged progression system, that has you upgrading weapons in 5 different ways, and scrounging for garbage non-stop inside barrells, crates, vases, trees, etc. its no different to me than it is in borderlands when after every gunfight i have to open multiple crates and lockers in succession. thow all that in a pretty long ass campaign for the genre, and i get tired of it by the island. on that note, the campaign generally gets weaker and less interesting as it progresses (village > castle > island). the village part was just far more fresh feeling for the series than a big mansion and laboratories. and i could just play the village part or just the village-castle parts and stop, except...

 

i dont give a fuck what anyone says, the ashely/escort component just sucks and is probably the number one thing that keeps me from re-playing it - that shit is literally a third of the game. everyone always says "re4 does the escort mission best" and thats probably true, but that still doesnt make it good/enjoyable - just something you tolerate. and its little consolation that i can toss her in a dumpster during select areas because 1) theres plenty of areas where you cant put her in a dumpster (water room im looking at you) and 2) putting her in a dumpster and then getting her out of the dumpter is still worse than if i didnt have to do any of that at all. it sucks that literally the entire re4 style era of the series (4-6) you were almost always saddled with an ai partner. the early re5 trailer without sheva looked fucking badass too.

LOL @ this revisionist shit that RE4 sucked   RE4 was easily the top game of that generation. Mechanically, it was so advanced, so ahead of the curb that every western game copied it. It was

RE4 is exceptional. The atmosphere is still top notch and it’s filled with the tense, foreboding moments you expect to see in a RE game.

well, that too

Everyone else :danylol: 

 

So mad cause people here hate RE4.. the only RE game that these non-purist sheep can claim.  It's embarrassing. :geese: 

 

 

The horror games have multiple great installments in them. The action RE games are all shit outside of RE4. One fucking game.

I expect a lot from you. You are an elite lemmon slasher, but the very first paragraph set me off. Not reading that. :camby:

Lmfao @ you fools shitting on RE4.  RE4 being great has no negative impact on RE 2 Remake.    Matter of fact you can add Re2 Remake to the list of games that RE 4 impacted for the positive. 

 

Let's see how many franchises or genres RE 2 Remake impacts and what impacts Re 2 Remake will have on the industry on a whole :cmpunk1:

The issue with RE4 wasnt a new aiming system, or new combat system .It had no horror, no looping complex level design and resource management .

Well I think that's already pretty clear, it voided Resident Evil 4 as a legitimate franchise entry and made it clear this is not a game series for the action genre, the industry impact will be you're never going to see a piece of shit like Resident Evil 4 again.
