Just finished it, disapointed. It's a great looking game but doesn't really add anything to the RE4 template. The story is very weak and doesn't really bring anything new to the table, your chasing after people to fill in the holes, while clearly Jill is helping Irving, then Wesker. The areas are very similar in theme to RE4 and yeah the game just didn't break any new ground. Sheva and Chris were lifeless and Jill was wasted. Yeah, disapointed.

The Majini are speaking Swahili. For instance, the guy with the megaphone in 1-1 says the following:eso76 said:
- "People, think of what awaits us! The paradise. It, Uroboros, is a gift; we are lucky presentees!"
- "He here is an infidel, a fiend. So we now will make an example of him."
- "Intruders! There in the house!"
- "No one shall find out what happened here! They shall DIE! Get them!"
RE4's ending was not an exception to the short-'n-sweet rule. All they did was ride off into the sunset on a jet ski, roll the credits and show a brief exchange between Leon and Hunnigan. Not drastically different from RE5's helicopter flight, which has twice as many characters and actually parallels RE1's ending. Plus, in RE5 you have enough epic battles at the end to serve as the climax for three games, battles with more meaning than escaping a pissed-off spider.brandonh83 said:
I disagree. These characters were more real than past RE games, imo. Show any casual person cutscenes from this game against ones from past REs and ask which feels more real. Chris has a motive (Jill, redemption), a cynical worldview, a lot of empathy; Sheva plays the hero until all her friends die, then she's scared and wants to cut and run, which humanizes her. These guys weren't all machismo and bravado; they had moments of doubt, fear and sadness. I liked them a lot.dalyr95 said:
And Jill was great. We see the strength of her love for Chris, how she sacrificed herself at the Spencer Estate to save him. We see that the mere chance she's alive is enough for Chris to continue when he would've quit after 2-3. And the whole idea of Wesker weaponizing her against you is shit-your-pants crazy; the symbolism in her Weskerized hair is delectable, and beating a boss with an appeal to the heart is brilliant. Good, good stuff. To top it all off, both iterations of Jill in Mercs are awesome.
And that ASS, good lawd.

Good thing I don't base this game around story, dude the story in all RE games isn't the good. As a game this is the best this year! I haven't even played RE3 and Veronica. I really didn't know what was going on in the cut-scenes, but I still enjoyed the game! The characters are fucking awesome, I read all the journal files, and their fleshed out pretty good! Shame you didn't enjoy it, I'm playing RE4 now, and I'm enjoying it more now because of RE5, it's atmosphere is better than RE5, but gameplay wise there both one-in-the-same! Their both spectacular!dalyr95 said:

The only weapon I have left to upgrade is the Lightning Hawk now, and I already have the reload speed and capacity maxed, and the fire power is sitting at half way.
All legit too, egg exploit bitchez.

Ridley327 said:Given that their characterization is no more broad or enriching than that of your average buddy cop film (minus the intentional humor), I don't think it's people having high standards at all....
I'd probably agree with this after I first finished the game, but after reading the files(mainly Sheva) I looked at them in a different light.

The works is the maximum melee combo right? All you need to do is get a flash grenade then go to 6-1. Get to the point where you run into the big majini throw the flash grenade then melee attack him and sheva will follow up with an attack then you follow up with another one. That should get you the trophy.

Did it single player last night. Here's what I'd recommend:Sidzed2 said:
Select Chapter 2-1.
Be Chris and make sure you're carrying Flash grenades. Strip Sheva of all weapons.
Head out of the warehouse and wind your way around to the top of the container where the fire arrow guy was standing above where the dogs first appeared.
Now, what you need to do is go through the container and drop down into the next area where you get set upon by majini, dogs and a Big Man majini. He's your target. Drop in there and hit the Big Man with a flash grenade. He'll go into a stun, at which point you melee him. Sheva will follow up with a kick and you need to run up and hit him again with a backhand to complete "The Works". That's it. Doing it this way is not hard at all.
^^^ Thank you, I will try that when I next get a chance!
I've also got to get the "kill 3 majini via burning oil drums" and "kill a majini via the electrical current" trophies...
...thing is, I'm trying to think of the optimal place where if I fail, I can restart and try again...maybe chapter 1-1 at the public assembly area?

Heh heh. I maxed out the S&W M29 (Broken Butterfly) on my first runthrough of the game, and then bought the S&W M500 (Handcannon) when it became available. This meant that I already had one magnum with infinite ammo, but on top of that, I wanted a second one for Sheva. The Handcannon just looked cooler, so I went with that.consoul said:
Resident Evil 5 is a mixed bag for me. In some aspects it outshines RE4, but also fall short of RE4 in many ways (imo)
The levels aren't as fun imo. I loved chapter 3, but I also hated chapter 4 and 6. In RE4, I didn't dislike any of the chapters, and they felt more connected together. I felt that the mine stage was underused, it had potential when you walked in the dark.
There are also some other minor annoyances. Like why cant you get larger inventory later on, or the fact that you cant choose "use" when seeing a herb.
I also thought that RE4 had more memorable bosses. Big chief, Salazar, krauser etc.

Aha, so it actually ends up being released in other regions before Japan, unless it's been pushed to the 7th for Japan too.cvxfreak said:
Unless the European date is different I'll have some HD videos of the versus mode uploaded the same day as it's released. That should help people decide whether the DLC is worth getting.
The achievements for the DLC already show up on my GT when I was looking at it through xbox.com.
Picture of the new achievements is below:

I fully expect this to be the case, considering that all of the DLC packs that Capcom released for Street Fighter IV were also strictly download keys.LiK said:it would be hilarious if the RE5 DLC is 108k. backlash mode on!
I highly doubt it is, but it might as well be. The previous patch for PS3 version (which presumably included the versus mode) was 36mb, that's above the size limit of patches on the 360. The 360 patch released today wasn't very big, so I'm guessing most of the data will be delivered with the DLC.MicVlaD said:
OriginX said:Hopefully we will get the DLC this week, Mercenaries is tstarting to get a old now. Any idea if versus is just going to be the same characters as mercenaries, or are we gonna get some new faces?
4 players max in versus, rite?
I assume its just the same four.
day 1 for me if they include more characters. but i dont think i'm really into VS mode right now.
I'm pretty sure it's all of the characters from Mercs, just with different load outs.OriginX said:Hopefully we will get the DLC this week, Mercenaries is tstarting to get a old now. Any idea if versus is just going to be the same characters as mercenaries, or are we gonna get some new faces?

It's this week.
When you face Wesker and Jill at the end of 5-3 on Professional I can't seem to hit Wesker with my weapons even when I'm "hiding" from him. Can he be hit or do I need to run around fro 7 minutes no matter what? I've only used the rocket launcher to try and hit him so maybe that has something to do with it. Also, any tips on how to beat that part are much appreciated, I seem to be at an impasse and I can't find anyone who wants to run through that level with me in co-op so any helpful tips for that section would be welcome.

when you get hit through the door, shoot all the hanging fire lamps to kill the lights. it makes hiding much easier.
