Fixed that for you.

I remember when people could read and didn't have to be reminded that something someone else wrote was an opinion. Oh how I miss those days.

 

[comrade]

Well it didn't really seem like you wanted to play with me so I didn't. I'll add you now.

Also, I'm looking for someone to play with once again, let me know. PSN ID is xlildragon.

Sorry if it seemed like that I was just asking how old you were. It doesn't really matter but you can kinda base maturity off age a bit. I also don't want Chris Hansen having a sit down with me.

 

[mattso]

so just because it gives you the tactical advantage any time a game has you split up high-low the low should always be the one getting attacked?

 

[VaLiancY]

Solely because one game shows more cleavage than the other, amirite?

Jill's buns in that battle suit is the clear defined winner.

I don't think Chris Hansen will be catching you for playing with me :lol . Either way, i added you.

ps. I'm a guy, so unless you swing that way, there should be no problem...

Split-screen mercs is the best part of the game by far. Friend came over and we stayed up until 4am playing Prison level. Too bad Public Assembly is completely unplayable in that mode and we both felt like their weren't enough base characters. I would rather they let you choose your costumes and pick your own weapon sets than to milk 4 characters into 10.

 

[Shaheed79]

RE5 is better than RE4, and that is fact and not opinion.

:lol

Lets not do this again. I was going to start a topic for a good RE4 vs RE5 debate but I'm going to wait a couple more month first. Then we can have the final showdown as to which is better from a single vote. RE4 won GOTY and GOTG on GAF handily. RE5 got how many votes in the best games of the generation thus far? 20?

EDIT: It has 7 votes but the list isn't completely updated.

why is public assembly unplayable in split screen? Aside from some rare slowdown, which happened on all the levels when there were a reasonable amount of enemies on screen, I see nothing wrong.

I too am disappointed with them milking the 4 base chars, I would've liked to see some others like Josh, or maybe even something like

I disagree on picking your own weapon sets, but I do wish they had a mode that did let you pick your own weapon sets and was more similar to horde mode in gears2

 

[C- Warrior]

I would agree that RE4 is by far a much better designed game. It almost as if the RE5 team was entirely new (let alone having a different director).

The gameplay was entirely the same -- yet RE4 did it much better. Basically, everything in RE4 made me go "ah shit, how the fuck am I going to get past this area/boss/enemy/situation -- as if the game was defaulted on super hard -- even though it was one normal -- yet, I would clear it. I didn't die anymore or less in RE4 than RE5, but in combination with the atmosphere, enemy design etc. etc, RE4 seemed more of an opposing/tense game...

RE4 was tense in nearly the entire campaign, RE5 only captures this moment of intensity in it's mercenaries mode. It's the mode which explains why RE5 is still on your shelf and not traded back in.

However, RE5 does have better bells and whistles. Point system, unlocks, infinte ammo, co-op, chapter select, leaderboards, online play etc. etc. But the design of RE5 is miles below RE4.


I also feel some of the co-op moments were too frequent (opening the door, using an elevator etc.). And a more intelligently designed system of keeping together would be smarter. Left 4 Dead does this well, no matter how good you are -- you can never blaze through the game because at one point or another you'd be fucked.

RE5 should have done something like this. Professional mode makes this mandatory, but they should have carried some element of "enemy hits or grabs me I'm fucked if I'm not with my partner" which would force players to stick together like they should. I understand why the system is what is in RE5, but it just seems artificial, and extremely lazy in design.

 

[Shogmaster]

I tried to play some RE4 yesterday. Yikes... Couldn't go more than few minutes. It's just too hard to go back after RE5.

Strangely, I don't mind replaying through Code Veronica, which I'm almost done with. It's graphics and gameplay are so outdated compared to RE5 that it's almost refreshing, while RE4 just seems like a stunted RE5 experience.

 

[C- Warrior]

I actually do think there is a way to do this. Let's say, Capcom does release a 4 player mercenary mode via Horde from Gears 2. Not this Team Slayer/Slayer bullshit in now.

Each item and weapon has an assigned point value. And each character can put whatever type of weapon or healing item default at start until they have reached their maximum point value.

If each character had a total of 10 alloted points:

First Aid Spray = 4 points
Herb = 2 points
Ithaca Shotgun = 5 points
M92F Handgun = 4 points
Rocket Launcher = 6 points
Grenade = 2 points
Hyrda = 6 points
Samurai Edge = 5 points
Body Armor = 5 points

You can put in/mix and match whatever combination you want until you reach the max alloted points. Maybe a person just wants a Samurai Edge and a Ithaca Shotgun and call it a day. What if somebody really wants to use the Hyrda instead, but too bad -- in that case they have to settle for the weaker pistol in order to get the Hydra. Maybe another person just wants to load up on 3x herbs and just have a regular M92F.

etc.
etc.
etc.

That way you can customize what you bring in, yet keep some sort of sense of game balance. And if they wanted to take it farther, they could make the characters more unique, let's say Chris can have a max of 15 points, while Wesker only has a max of 10 points. This would even things out because Wesker has stronger melee attacks and that dash attack, but Chris can hold more/better weapons items.

If Capcom would put some effort into this -- they could actually design a stand alone Merc RE game that would be worth 60 bucks in itself if they just went ape-shit creative on the whole concept and put a good 2 years of development soley into a Merc mode.

truth be told, best part of RE5 is mercs/versus.

The only thing you could realize in a few minutes of playing RE4 after RE5 is: both have shit controls, and in one game you don't have an annoying bitch talking to you.

Somehow I find your RE4 (is the-unplayable) and RE5 (is the-god awesome) post hard to believe. Especially after "a few minutes" Stop trying to defend RE5 so much, it's making you a bit transparent.

They are the same damn game, except RE4 does all the little details better. Art, enemy, challenge, atmosphere etc.

 

[Shaheed79]

I have the game installed on my 360 and when I played it yesterday with my friend it was horrid every time we booted it up from beginning to the end which was usually when we quit out. Almost every other level felt like it ran at 60fps (which they aren't) compared to how bad PA was.

I too am disappointed with them milking the 4 base chars, I would've liked to see some others like Josh, or maybe even something like

Josh and Irvin along with the other 4 would have been a good base I feel. I really wanted them to go all out with Merc mode in this game with a lot of characters. We were begging Capcom for a Mercenaries mode spin-off when we first got a taste of it 4 years ago.

I disagree on picking your own weapon sets, but I do wish they had a mode that did let you pick your own weapon sets and was more similar to horde mode in gears2

I didn't mean picking your individual weapons but rather pick between the different pre-selected groups of weapons that each "extra" character has. They tried to balance the different weapon combinations so I wouldn't suggest anything that would ruin that.

Which version did you try to play?

It starts off much slower than RE5 but that's because the build up is much more balanced. The experience continually gets better throughout the entire game so the beginning is the down point of the game if the game even has a down point.

I was watching a youtube walkthrough of RE4 yesterday and I just had to replay some of those parts like the boat boss, village chief, lava room, turret room, wrecking ball room, roller coaster mine cart, Helicopter escort, Krauser stage ect. The game just kept upping the ante till near the very end.

While in RE5 when people mention their favorite parts and set pieces they mention the room with the rotating platform that was recycled from a previous Boss battle. Everyone of my friends who played the game hates that part and find it annoying. The two set pieces imo where RE5 that live up to RE4 are the Eye or Ra looking lasers in level 4 and the conveyor belts in level 5.

Unplayable? God Awesome? You need to stop projecting. I think you're looking more transparent than me.

All I said is RE4 is too close to RE5 to be enjoyed anymore. For the time, it was a good (but flawed) game. RE5 is the same: a good but flaw game (that undoubtedly will feel dated when the successor comes out), but it is an improved game over RE4 in every way (except for your intangibles and subjectives like atmosphere and fear factor that can be argued either way depending on the person), so I felt it's very hard to enjoy the older game since the newer exists. You want to read into that your RE4 defense force mantras, your choice.

They are the same damn game, except RE4 does all the little details better. Art, enemy, challenge, atmosphere etc.

They certainly aren't same damn game, and RE4 certainly does not do all the details better. Art? fuck no. Play RE4 again. Enemies? You prefer monks over tribesmen? That's your preference. Certainly subjective which you find more compelling, but better? Challenge? Just don't do co-op. Plenty of challenge. Atmosphere? More subjective nonsense.

Umm... Dude... I played RE4 (GC) more than anyone I personally know. My last save has like over 9 million pesetas, like 30+ gold eggs, and shit tons of weapons including the hand cannon.

I think most of RE4>RE5 crowd is looking through rose tinted glasses. Sure, the impact of RE4 was huge since it was such a big departure from the previous games (Code Veronica and REMAKES), and since RE5 is an evolution of RE4 foundation, the impact won't be as great on your minds. But it's wacky to me to think that RE4 is a better game than RE5. Just to make sure, I tried to play through RE4 again for the one zillionth time. I just couldn't do it.

"Handicap & Camping"

Ok, I agree that these are both valid complaints, but they haven't been enough to deter me from loving Survivors/Team Survivors. I found the handicap to be a good mechanism for keeping matches close and allowing last minute reversals. As for camping, we've seen it happen and have been guilty of doing it ourselves. :lol We use large amounts of grenades, especially Incendiary and Flash to assault campers or else we snipe them from afar. The modes are by no means balanced; luck and randomisation plays a role, but I find that it also requires a good amount of skill and teamwork and is very satisfying when you pull off a successful counter-attack or ambush to jump into the lead. The mode just works for me, but I can definitely see your points.

There's that, and the quitting. You'll see players quitting in all modes, but from my experience, most of the quitting is in Survivors and Team Survivors. In all gametypes, if the host quits, the match ends, no points or wins/losses are awarded. In the free-for-all game types, you can get around this by being the host yourself; if a non-host player quits in these game types, the match continues (unless all other players quit). In team games, however, if one player quits, regardless of who it is, the game ends. And as far as I know, there's no penalty for quitting.

The quitters are definitely a bigger problem in Survivor modes than Slayers in my experience too. When I still played with strangers across the globe, it felt like 30% of my games were being ended by droppers; utterly ridiculous and frustrating as hell.

Thanks for elaborating, USD.

If that was your opinion of RE4 then I'm not going to debate the issue with you. You may have just been one of the few people who didn't think RE4 was GOTG.

You're playing the "it's subjective, it's your opinion, not a valid claim" card too strongly. Technically speaking, a person could argue that a piece of feces is more beautiful than the Golden Temple, and with your argument, it's all subjective -- isn't it? But there are a few important things that RE4 does better, that's almost a universally accepted fact.

But I still figure you're on some RE5 defense force project. It's interesting how your post came after a slew of RE4 >>> RE5 posts -- and all of a sudden you come in and say essentailly, RE4 is unplayable after playing RE5. Which, opinion or not -- I find to be bullshit.

And yes, saying "I couldn't play RE4 for a few minutes after playing RE5" is bullshit. There are no noticeable differences that can be assessed in between the two games in a matter of a few minutes. What, did you realize you couldn't head stomp in enemy in Re4 and rage quit your console off?

Shogmaster is actually mentioning something I suspected a few weeks ago and posted about in this very thread, that some people may find RE4 and RE5 too similar, and that will impair their ability to enjoy one or the other when played in succession.

RE4 comes up way short of RE5 technically, although most so far on gaming websites and the media enjoyed RE4 more as an experience and an overall package than RE5. I think the RE4 vs. RE5 debate will really hit its stride in the coming months and years.

Do you really want to argue this or do you type just to jack off to your prose later?

If you don't want to head stomp, don't do it. If you don't want to play co-op, don't do it. Hell, if you don't want to play RE5 and keep playing RE4, knock yourself out. But don't fucking make these RE4 > RE5 filibuster posts a habit in a RE5 thread. It's annoying.

You are certainly welcome to start a new thread about how RE4 >>> RE5 and have yourself a party. I'm sure you'll get plenty of takers.

If he wasn't in love with RE4 to begin with I can see why he may like RE5 more and can't play RE4 anymore. There were a few dissenters last gen who didn't feel RE4 deserved the GOTG praise it really did deserve lol.

It's because RE4 was just so fresh and innovative...you can't really replicate that first time feeling playing that again. Although RE5 does manage to make the formula still fun.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

my story...

Played re4 but just couldnt finish it. Was at like chapter 5 and it just kept going. I feel a game like this is just too long to be like 17 or 20 hours.

Wasnt hyped for re5 at all. But just last week i decided to at least rent it. Still not a fan of the controls but when i played co op, i really fell in love. Just soooo much damn fun playing with someone.

I have sworn off gamestop and pretty much only trade games on goozex, but I just couldnt wait to get this game so i can start playing with friends, so i traded 4 ps3 games and 2 psp games to get it for free today.

I feel so dirty......

I don't think it will. I think in a few months the people who liked RE5 more (who have played and completed both extensively) will be in the overall minority. RE5's saving graces are literally the graphics and multiplayer modes and even with those going for it most people feel it doesn't live up to it's predecessor.

That doesn't mean RE5 isn't a damn good game by any means as much as it's a testament to how insanely awesome RE4 really is. If they ever remake RE4 in HD and add multi-player to mercs.......... Well it just wouldn't be fair.

I'm willing to bet that you got a bunch of players that never played either, and have them a go of both, RE4 will not be played, even if you only have RE5 played on a SD set.

It's just a better game if you put away the nostalgia.

I don't agree, there's a few things that RE5 does better than RE4, co-op it's awesome and adds to the basic RE4 formula new sensations, Versus even being an overpriced cash in it's a very fun twist to the Mercs mode, and Mercs it's way better and bigger overall and other minor things.

Yes RE4 it's a better designed game in most aspects, and in the boss fights department there is no contest. But I can see why some people over the months and years will put RE5 in a higher place than RE4.

So what you are saying is that if we put both games side by side for someone who never played either that RE5 will be the favorite more times than not? I would agree with you if it's multiplayer. Single player for both it will be RE4 that will still be played 4 months down the line and not RE5. This is why I'm going to wait for the RE5vsRE4 topic because RE5 is still too fresh. The RE4 topic stayed on the front page for like half a year. If RE5 pulls that off then I will concede your assertion.

Some people yes. The majority? We shall see.

RE1&2 are both still considered the best of the old style RE games despite 3 sequels using the same formula and 4 spin-offs. Sometimes the better designed game wins out over fancy graphics and new multi-player modes.

Quick question about a RE5 character:

Spoiler

That blonde girl you fail to rescue at the beginning. I saw that she was named in the opening post: Allyson. What's the deal with her ? I thought she would end up having some sort of important back story but I never read a file about her during the game or maybe I missed something ?

I didn't even know she had a name. Nope just some random poor sap. The only thing important about her is that she drops a pendant.

 

[C- Warrior]

[RE5]is just a better game [than RE4]

No, it's not. RE4 had more variety, in it's environments, enemies, bosses and situations.

Take for instance, RE4 had you fight Gigantes three times, yet in each of those times it was vastly different. You're fighting it head on, you're running from it, then you're fighting two at once in a lava pit.

In Re5...um, you sit on the back of a jeep and go rail shooters on it...yeaaaah.

That analogy alone holds true for essentially every moment in the game.

RE5 tried to to what RE4 did. But in every instance it came off as weaker. Take the public assembly instance. The public assembly part of Re4 was a lot more intense/enjoyable than the public assembly part in RE5.

Then we have the boss fights. Krauser (where you're navigating an entire level fighting/dodging him to the fight at the apex in the tower where he transforms and you have to kill him before the bomb blows) (RE4) vs. "shoot the big yellow orbs" .... and that's about it.(RE5).

Lol yeah, at first I thought the pendant was important ^^ I held on to all my treasures till chapter 5 something because I thought they might be useful in unlocking something then I asked about them on a forum and they told me their only function is to be sold... In any case, it was kinda weird to see a hot blonde lady in the middle of that godforsaken place. I guess she was a former tri cell employee or a NGO worker or something like that. AFAIK she's pretty much the only foreigner you encouter in the game that is not linked to either the BSAA or tricell.

Who says she was a foreigner? Caucasian people are littered all over Africa including West Africa. There are about 5 Million poor Caucasians in Africa. Or was it just South Africa?

"Put two people next to next, and even RE5 on an SD screen they will choose it."

I mean, what the fuck is this? If he's going to say "put any random two poeple together and they will choose RE5" I'm going to fuckin call him out on that.

And besides, this is like the first time I'm actually posting in this thread with RE4 and RE5 comparisons. But if somebody wants to spout this "RE5 is so awesome I can't play RE4 for 1.2 minutes" bullshit, I'm goign to call them out.

Charlize Theron...yummy.

Much better.

You never played RE4 huh? lol

Who says she was a foreigner? Caucasian people are littered all over Africa including West Africa. There are about 5 Million poor Caucasians in Africa. Or was it just South Africa?


Yes you get to kill him. Look for him he has the electronic bull horn in his right hand.

Didn't get that far in RE 4 for some reason but I don't think I sold any treasure in that game too. Most likely for the same reason I didn't sell the Re5 ones till late in the game :lol I got annoyed while escorting you know who back from the castle and never finished it then I got it for the wii and wanted to replay it before the 5 came out but that didn't happen. The only RE I finished was RE 3 ^^ And to date, it's my favourite one (most likely because I finished it ^^). Never beat the snake on the first one (I know I suck ) Got annoyed at the enigmas in the second one. I liked veronica but for some reason never got that far in it (most likely because I got rid of my dreamcast... Stupidest decision ever btw)

He can believe or think whatever he wants. So what if he says RE5 is a better game or people will choose RE5 over RE4 in some scientifically controlled study. That doesn't make it true now does it? You don't have to defend RE4 so vehemently because it already sits at the top of a very exclusive club of timeless classics and RE5 isn't threatening that. I actually WANT RE5 to kick the crap of RE4 because I love the series so damn much.

No, it's not. RE4 had more variety, in it's environments, enemies, bosses and situations.

Take for instance, RE4 had you fight Gigantes three times, yet in each of those times it was vastly different. You're fighting it head on, you're running from it, then you're fighting two at once in a lava pit.

In Re5...um, you sit on the back of a jeep and go rail shooters on it...yeaaaah.

That analogy alone holds true for essentially every moment in the game.

RE5 tried to to what RE4 did. But in every instance it came off as weaker. Take the public assembly instance. The public assembly part of Re4 was a lot more intense/enjoyable than the public assembly part in RE5.

Then we have the boss fights. Krauser (where you're navigating an entire level fighting/dodging him to the fight at the apex in the tower where he transforms and you have to kill him before the bomb blows) (RE4) vs. "shoot the big yellow orbs" .... and that's about it.(RE5).

Do everyone in this thread a favor and start your own thread about this topic. It's distracting from the primary purpose of the thread. You know, about RE5? Seriously. Revive a RE4 thread for fuck sakes and circle-jerk about how great it is. Anything. Really.

None of your BS is fact, nor even all that compelling. It's just another opinion. You DO remember what they say about opinions, yeah?

RE3 is your favorite RE and is the only one you've finished? Wow lol. Yeah RE's changed a lot since Nemesis my friend. How did you get so far without upgrading your weapons? Did you play on Easy or Normal?

 

[Shaheed79]

Well, maybe but not in a shithole like that village though. Caucasians live in african cities, not african villages unless they have something to do with NGOs or are sightseeing.Or experimenting with the progenitor virus of course ^^

Lol

Where do you live stranger?

Edit: I really do want to know where you live before I say anything further to you about your assumption above.
