Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition listed on PEGI for PC/Steam

Same here! After starting the damn game (REmake) on Dolphin about a thousand times and managing to screw myself over again and again while not far into the game, it finally clicked with me when I played the recent PC release. Since then I've finished 2, 3, CVX, Zero and 4. Waiting on 5. I dunno, I don't love the games but they keep you on your toes all the time, and there's something very satisfying about slowly progressing through them. Plus, the B-series plot, setting and its characters have grown on me in all their glorious cheesiness.

I didn't like CVX that much, mostly, I think, because of the dull 3D environments. Coincidentally it makes missing objects slightly easier, and I had to use a walkthrough at one point because I wasn't making any progress, just to realise I hadn't picked up on a very ordinary puzzle item that was on plain sight. Also, trust me on this, if you aren't doing it already (and I bet you are by now), make sure to save on different slots and to save the ammo for the most powerful weapons for you-know-when. After CVX, just last week, I played though Zero. Didn't enjoy that one that much either, but mostly because of how seriously tedious and annoying it is to have to ferry all your stuff from location to location as you make your way through it. No magic boxes.

I have CVX on pause on my second monitor right now. Based Nintendont! I'm like... half an hour in. I'm partial to Claire, but I can already see why people don't like this game so much. It feels like an in-between game. Not quite RE3, but not quite RE4 yet. I only spoke with that guy who shoots Claire 15 minutes in and, man, I already know it'll grate me to no end. What a whiny, high-pitched voice.

Zero was... well, Zero was. There's not much to say about it. It feels like a mediocre bit-sized REmake. It's the Battlefield Hardline of the RE franchise. Carrying your items around was very annoying, but at least you could use and combine them without having to add them to your inventory. That's cool, I guess. I wish Capcom would have explored the dual protagonists mechanics a bit more. The parts where Rebecca and Whatshisname get separated and you have to control them both "at the same time" are, at least, rather innovative.

Maybe I'll make a LttP for these first Resident Evils when I'm done with CVX, before starting 4. "The tank years" or something in those lines...
 
I saved my key just in case.

Actually, I'll have 3 PC copies of Resident Evil 5:

- My old GfWL retail box;
- My Steam Version (that I saved the key in a txt just now);
- Another Steam version that is in my inventory as a gift I earned when I bought a game;
 
The game was known to have some DirectX10 issues. Had something to do with KB2670838 an update by MS that broke something with this game. I wonder it is fixed in the gold edition because my game still crashes. Only fix was to remove KB2670838.

I didn't see it myself, but from the accidentally posted store page update from few weeks ago people seemed to say that there DX10 mode was gone and only DX9 remains. As far as I remember DX10 mode didn't offer any actual graphical improvements and didn't perform all that well at least on launch, so maybe that's for the better.
 
Looks like the listing is up: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/62118/?snr=1_5_1100__1100

The pricing is, uh, very Cacpcom. I guess the pricing could change, but the 33% off lines up with the leaked/canceled sale description from a few weeks ago, so it's probably final. I probably would've bought it for $15, but at $20, I'll be waiting for a sale. For current RE5 owners, $15 for just really, really old DLC seems unrealistic. I'll reserve final judgment when everything is official.

Nah, they did extra work to port it to PC and they're porting it to Steamworks. Bigger companies with better reputations than Capcom have left GFWL unpatched (Bulletstorm says hello). I expected it to be reasonably priced - $10, with $5 as a pipe dream - but $15 is pretty lol capcom.
 
The campaigns were 5 dollars each and given they are releasing them 5 years later I think they can swallow selling the set for 5 bucks. At the least, that's what I'll wait for it to be (maybe 7.50ish).

I'm confused. Gold Edition is a whole game and not DLC, but it's being sold as a "Bundle" and says I already have RE5 in my library (which I do), but there's nothing else in the bundle other than RE5 which is already in my library?

You can buy the DLC separately, but it's still pretty expensive.
 
my game just downloaded 0 byte and now the game wont even go to the spalshscreen :> just says missing executable. something is going on i guess
 
Yeah... Hell no, I'm not paying $15 for the DLC. I'll wait until it's on sale for same the price of the base game right now.

I'm off to Code Veronica X/Pillars of Eternity.
 
Did the original GFWL version run good? Terrible service, this GFWL, but I'm looking to get back into this game, having only played it on 360 when it came out.

It ran great. I had high hopes for Capcom's pc releases at the time, with this and Devil May Cry 4 being fantastic pc ports. They even released benchmark programs prior to RE5 release so people could test their pcs before buying.

Plus, both games included optional pc-exclusive features to increase the number of enemies on screen (DMC4 in game, RE5 for mercenaries mode). DMC4 had so many enemies that it could literally fill the screen if you didn't kill them fast enough.
 
i dont want to spam, but i just checked my resident evil 5 steam folder and well, seems like the 0 byte patch deleted my game :D only 103mb left. thanks capcom.

Exactly the same here. Resi 5, no DLC purchased (no fucking chance at that price), 0kb update just applied and now the game fails to launch and the local files now total 103mb. Not ecstatic.

edit: They've totally screwed the pooch on this one, I've tried verifying the local files and it reckons the 103mb is fine. I deleted the local files and did a reinstall - "Disk space required" shows 103mb! Needless to say, after completing this tiny install, the game still fails to launch with "Missing executable". Bravo Capcom.
