Is it? I only played about an hour of the game, but I remember playing 1 player?
edit: nvm... Now that I think about it, I remember having to protect that girl. Is that how it is the entire game? lol

Given the number of free gay hookup sites, probably.
I'm in love with that demo. Don't forget to tinker with the options. You can do things like change the 3D depth to a crazy impressive amount, make aiming 3rd or 1st person, and even use gyro. I really like the highest 3D setting + 1st person gyro aiming. Don't forget to try Hell mode!Ah, nice. I only ever played RE4 on the Gamecube. Got the 3ds demo, so i'll give it a shot
Revelations seems refreshingly different from RE5. I hated dealing with that co-op Sheva crap. Ugh. UGH!
Yeah, that kind of logic is so widespread it's disgusting. It's one thing to have a reasonable conversation with intelligent people online, but there are so many others out there that make me feel like the community (and, to be fair, the rest of humanity) is utterly hopeless.
The AI companion is moronic and will burn through ammo/health items quickly on anything above "Easy," the game FORCES you to to play online basically.
It's the same shit as Lost Planet 2. You can "play single-player" but you have AI that's included and damn near useless.
Oh yeah! I remember having to deal with that brain-dead cpu... Ugh. No wonder I stopped playing it.

Yeah, it's like an escort-mission in a game but worse... at least escort-missions are designed in such a way that the companion you are with is supposed to be stupid haha

I played it entirely on my own and never had any issues with the co-op AI. RE4 and 5 were both a lot of fun, although I'm not a big follower of the series, if that matters. I've only played the original PSX game and these two.

If you're gay and paying for sex you're doing it wrong.

The point was that it's painfully easy to get sex as a gay guy IF that's what you're chasing, rather than paying for an escort.
Yea sex is easy with just about anyone but with someone you want, its pretty hard.

Yeah, but beats paying some guy's rent for a week to get some ass.
i don't think anyone is saying that, but gay guys can be pretty slutty so online hookup sites can usually get you laid without too much work (though they might not be your prime candidates ha). i'm not really into that though.

I like to try everything, the thing people like about me is that when I'm in a role, I fit perfectly with that.. But it'd be nice to meet someone who's like me, because too many times I found people reasoning black / white.

Yeah I heard it's quite different.
Is it true it has forced co-op sections? Easy way to recruit the bf
And it's a way better game for it. Playing RE5 with a friend is the most fun you can have with RE.
Republican politicians gotta pay. At least they're being consistent.

I don't know if that's necessarily true, and your line of thinking should be applicable for any gender or orientation.
While there's supposedly always a person who would have sex with you, there's more to it than just finding a willing participant. The mental aspect - whether humiliation, embarrassment or a sort of psychological block - involved with submitting to the desperation of trawling Craigslist for a pity-fuck with Leo the basement-dwelling schlub can certainly prevent someone from going this route. Hiring a "professional," while perhaps not any more desirable of an act, doesn't carry the quite same personal shame since a) you're presumably getting an attractive person and b) it's just a service, a job to this person. We've all heard the boasts of guys whose fathers got them a hooker for their sixteenth birthday and the ensuing high-fives from friends; nobody goes around bragging about calling up the neighborhood fat chick because they couldn't get a date.
There's even more to it than this, no doubt, but you hopefully get the point.

Not sure about you but I'd much prefer someone have sex with me because they wanted to, not because I slipped them some cash.
The PS3 Gold Edition is going for 19.99 at Newegg right now. Of course, that's more like pistachios instead of peanuts.
WTF? RE5 GE is like... $50 where I live D: </3
We should totally hang out and be like friends and stuff.
Really? That game is incredibly cheap here (Netherlands), like 35. The Gold edition that adds Move support too.

I'm not saying throw yourself at anything that moves that's pathetic enough to want to fuck you, I'm saying either trying online dating or -- if you live in a major city -- going out and meeting people in the ridiculously diverse gay population, are very real options that will almost definitely result in you meeting someone interesting.
(this is a general rant, not directed right at you cosmic)
I see a lot of complaining in this thread. A lot of "oh woe is me, why won't the prettiest, perfect boy want to suck my dick", and it's ridiculously hypocritical. It's the nice-guy syndrome but for gay guys. Expecting beautiful people to lower their physical standards for you when you're unwilling to yourself. The way I see it, either lower your physical standards in a partner and try and find a genuinely compelling, interesting person who's going to remain interesting after the novelty of the sex wears off, or hit the fucking gym and then hope you can find a guy with both qualities.
While I'm at it, a lot of the talk here about an exclusionary gay community that expects certain things of you couldn't be any further from my own experience. If you surround yourself by vapid, shallow people and idolize them, of course you're going to become bitter. Again, maybe trying to make friends more interesting people but perhaps slightly less "attractive and/or INSTANTLY FUN" people might pay off in the long run.
The majority of any group of people are probably pretty fucking stupid. But I don't walk around saying "white males are all fucking dumb", because I know that while, you know, there are quite a few oxygen thieves out there, they certainly don't make up all of the white male population.

LMAO.. where is this from
Really, being gay in the age of online-communities that cater to all kinds of preferences and fetishes really make it simple to at least meeting persons online with who you share a connection with. Maybe not the instant you create an online profile, but if you are actively looking and be very clear in what you want and what you look for in another person, it is possible to find the right guy for you.
RE5 is so fucking fun. Don't listen to the haters
It's a really really fun game if you can get someone good to have as your co-op partner. It does have it's flaws however and that should be noted, but i think it doesn't take away a lot from the experience as a whole. Plus, you get sexy Chris Redfield.

If your preference is "I ONLY WANT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLEl" and you're not already a babe, yeah, he might have trouble.
Since I finished RE5 around 4 times on PS3 and 4 more times on 360, by myself..and on Professional difficulty on each platform too. (aside playing online co-op with friends and the DLC).
People just suck at the game.
Nah, the AI was kinda problematic (at the beginning at least). The best way to have the partner to behave decently is to put it on 'Cover' mode and give it a strong/one-shot kill kind of weapon (like a magnum, or a sniper) and fill the rest of the spots with healing-items. The sniper is even better since it kills long-range enemies with just one shot; so it makes it easier to move around areas with enemies from afar.
But overall it was one of the bets online co-op games I've played and was a nice touch that I played and finished it one of the times, with the same friend that introduced me to the series more than a decade ago. And it's also one of my most replayed RE games..so far.

On-topic...
And agree with what orioto (I think?) said.
To me , sex is more than just who's a top or who's a bottom; and I'm disappointed usually when most of the guys I end talking to end pissed-off off because I'm not a fan of that. Heck, I've had guys told me that (literally) because I'm ugly, I shouldn't be so demanding and accept whatever is offered....yeah, right.
I don't like either, but if the person that I'm having sex with tends to enjoy one or the other, I give it a go. Otherwise, I find more fun and more interesting touching all over, kissing under the shower; than "you = bottom , me=top, GO!.
*****
Online "dating" is not any easier than offline. Heck, in my case has been "as bad".
10+ years o trying online, offline, waiting, approaching (and 10 years just in online sites) I no longer care, but I do understand why some are dissapointed when they try and end not finding anything interesting other than a quick fuck.

Perfect.
A lot of it has to do with attitude - you look at the gay world as cliquey/judgmental/negative etc, it's gonna be self fulfilling. The guys here who think they aren't 'hot' or desirable or whatever are perfectly good looking, they just have a terrible, self-pitying attitude. That's the turn off. Every day spent whinging on here is one less day to try and get what you want.
And yeah, just avoid the dickheads
Sure, you have to be realistic of course, but the most important thing imo is being honest and being clear in what you want. I am confident that it is possible for everybody to find what they are looking for, even on online dating websites where a lot of people only seem interested in your "stats" and "kinks" etc.

I had no idea RE: Revelations had an AI partner...how's the 3DS online? I don't mind playing co-op, but I don't have anyone IRL to play it with when I eventually get a 3DS and the game. I really liked RE5, and I played through the entire game in co-op so I don't mind that aspect of Revelations. It actually makes me a bit more excited for it.
What kind of people are you attracted to?
Buh? We have?

Yes, let's turn a main-line series that was known for it's singleplayer into a dudebro shooter. *rolls eyes*
No forced co-op didn't "better the series," in fact it diluted it further.
*sighs wistfully* Oh, how Biohazard: Outbreak had "forced co-op" perfect while leaving my precious single-player main-line alone.
*high five*I almost choked on some broccoli reading this. :lol
.
I'm pretty sure the conversation about RE5 and Revelations overlapped a bit. Revelations is more like RE1~3 with RE4/RE5 shooting if the demo is anything to go by. There's an online-capable (I think) co-op mode in Revelations called Raid Mode, though--it's like Mercs but different.

Hey, I'm really glad you came last night - I saw you chatting with a bunch of folks that you wouldn't have met otherwise. Keep your chin up and just try to look people in the eye and smile a bit more - when it comes to confidence, perception is reality. I know it's intimidating, but you'll get there, I really think you will. Don't give up.
I know this conversation sorta already happened, but...
I guess it depends on why you would be hiring an escort.
Personally, I'll be honest and say that if I ever had a crazy amount of disposable cash lying around, I'd probably hire an [upscale] escort once. I don't really have any major self-esteem issues, and I don't really have any problems getting laid the old-fashioned way, either. Contrary to all the talk, it's not always about that. There's just something mysterious and alluring about the taboo of it all that I've always sorta wanted to just try it. And it's something that appeals to a lot of people outside of the beaten horse "OMG YOU MUST HATE YOURSELF DON'T YOU WANT SOMETHING REAL?"
The answer to that question isn't always yes.
And besides, you've all seen them on Adam4Adam. Some of these guys are drop-dead, instant-boner hot.

Is it true it has forced co-op sections? Easy way to recruit the bf
Or another BF too...;-)
Honestly, its been almost a year since Ive been a member here, and you still complain about the same shit. Either make some life choices or join the clergy.
You don't even know me or my life ok.
Fixed.
Kidding.
Maybe.
In this regard I've been very lucky. I've had sexual partners who run the gamut in the "hot" to "not-so-hot" scale, but I've found that the ones who really make my dick hard are the average Joes. And fortunately, there's no shortage of them. So I don't necessarily need to lower my standards to get some action, it just works out in my favor because of my tastes. Which isn't to say I'll fuck anything with a pulse, as I do find some features and attributes more attractive. But more than once I've had friends wrinkle their noses when I point out someone who floats my boat. But I don't care--I'm looking for me, not them.
Despite that, I too have had my share of unrequited attraction, frustratingly enough. But you just move on, plenty of fish in the sea. But you won't know that unless you put yourself out there.
So. Much. This.
You know what never goes out of style?
Confidence.
Show me a guy with confidence (NOT arrogance), and I'll show you a guy who's got my attention. I've met short guys, fat guys, twiggy guys, crooked-toothed guys, bald guys--you name it--who I've found amazingly fascinating (and oftentimes attractive) because they carry and express themselves in a confident manner. And because they don't necessarily fit society's beauty standards, I find their self-confidence is especially remarkable.
It starts with being comfortable in your own skin, by being able to say "I'm cool with who I am" when you look in the mirror. Even in my earliest days coming out/dating/tricking, I never hid who I was or what I liked to do from the guys I met. I remember once meeting a guy at a bar and taking him home to play Super Tennis on SNES (yeah, it was a looong time ago). He left me a note the next morning that said "Last night was weird, but fun." Another guy I showed my comic books to (including the Hulk issue where Jim Wilson dies of AIDS). And to this day I still display my cool LEGO around the house. Video games, comic books, toys--generally not taken as dating pluses for an adult, especially in the 90s. But at the end of the day, I gotta live with myself and do what makes me happy. And if I'm happy, everything else pretty much takes care of itself.
I remember once a guy told me he hooked up with me because I put in my profile: "Happily single." I guess that makes sense, because who's inclined to hook up with someone who's desperate, or unhappy?
I'm not saying that lack of confidence, desperation, or unhappiness are kisses of death. But if you find yourself in that situation, it might be more important for you to work on that before you look to a relationship. It's easier for people to be comfortable with you if you're comfortable with yourself.
It could be, but really, who cares? As long as the parties involved get what they want, have at it.

Not to boost his ego or anything, but I think Darth WuFei has alot of the qualities in a guy id be looking for.
Muscular with skinny waist. Thickness that comes from muscle not fat.
And caramel (Tanned) skin or darker. Under 35. Short cut hair.
And trimmed down body hair. I dont find body hair hot at all, but I can deal with it.
