Riddle me this: if Axeman is a full-fledged boss like El Gigante, then why the hell does he appear as a regular enemy on Prison? You fight at least three of 'em on any good run in Prison.
Axeman is a mini-boss just like El-Gigantes. The very first one you fight is the only one that can be considered a main boss but you fight 4 El-Gigante's in total (I still don't like how they took the one Gigante battle RE5 had and made it a tedious rail shooter). The MAIN Bosses in RE4 were:
DEL LAGO (fun boat boss in the vein of Moby Dick)
U3(my LEAST favorite boss in RE4)
VERDUGO (This Alien/Predator hybrid wipes the floor with RE5 bosses in awesomeness except for the final Boss Wesker)
BITOREZ MENDES (Village Chief Boss battle in a burning Barn)
RAMON SALAZAR (Morphs with his right hand body guard to create the final Castle level Boss)
JACK KRAUSER (One of the most kick ass bosses and stage long battles in all of 3d gaming)
OSMUND SADDLER (Final Boss. Not bad but after the insane Krauser battle a tad underwhelming)
Those are the real main bosses in RE4. Enemies I liked in RE4 are besides the dozen or so variations of Ganados, Monks and Mercs are:
Doctor Salvador
Super Doctor Salvador
Colmillo
Los Armours
Garrador
Type 3 Plagas
Novistador
Regenerator
Iron Maiden
Chain Gunner
Original Enemies I liked in RE5.
Axe Majini
Reaper
Native Majini
Giant Native Majini
Fat Majini
Licker Beta
Original Enemies I disliked in RE5
Kipepeo
Adjule
Bui Kichwa
Cephalo
Duvalia
Not to mention the new chainsaw majini is nowhere near as aggressive as Salvador. He waits a good 2 seconds before even swinging his chainsaw at you while Salvador starts to swing it upon approach usually catching you as you run by. That and Super Salvador >> Awakened chainsaw Magini.
In other words, you're wrong-o. ALSO: I'd hazard to say RE5's Chainsaw Majini is a bit scarier than any of the chainsaw folk in RE4, because he can come back from the dead in beserker mode. Scared the shit outta me the first time that happened!
I don't know you just seem more easily impressed than me in general. If I hadn't seen it done better in RE4 maybe it would have amazed me but he was terribly weak.
And c'mon, don't even try to suggest RE4 had the bigger, badder monsters. Did you see the size of some of the baddies in RE5? Irving, U-8, Uroboros Aheri? Goddamn. :lol
Bigger? No. Better and badder? Most definitely. Half the main bosses in the game were repeats of Popokarimu, Uroboros which were horrible bosses. Uroboros Aheri was good as was Irving and the next to last Wesker battle. Those are honestly the only Bosses I still enjoy fighting. Again more and bigger does not always mean better or more fun lol.
