I am totally 100% with you; I'll buy most CE's if it comes in a steel case, but for example I didn't buy the Fallout CE because it was just the regular edition of the game with a lunchbox and bobble head, what the hell am I going to do with that?

Normally I'd say you're fine, but one of my local Gamestops that is doing a midnight release tonight told my coworker at lunch today that they have no extra copies of the 360 version, and only had a couple PS3 ones left. I'd imagine if you shop around in the morning you'd have no problem though, if nothing else you should be able to pop into Best Buy or somewhere and get it.

I must say. I'm pretty pissed off.
I drove down to my girlfriend's house so she could visit her family while we're on spring break at college. The weather has been nice all week, like in the 70's. Well, as soon as we get here, which is about a 2 hour drive away, it decides to randomly come a blizzard outside, so now I'm trapped at her house until tomorrow and therefore, no midnight RE5 launch for me.
The weather is usually pretty random here until around May, but I'm convinced that a higher power was at work against me this time.
Damn it all to hell.

Seriously? A blizzard in March? Where is this? Talk about bad luck/timing of all things :/ Sorry to hear about that.

Wow very first reply :lol
I'm in Kentucky. Fucking state. Yes, seriously, a RANDOM BLIZZARD in March. Yeah, it snows sometimes, but it's never this bad this time of year... well, most times. It just started right as we were about to head back too. I decided, hell, it can't be that bad. And it wasn't for the first five miles or so. But as soon as we got out of her town, I mean it started shitbombing ice and snow to the point where we couldn't see the road. So I turned around. It took us forever to get back to her house since I was driving so slow but I couldn't see jack shit.
Hey guys, breaking story from Yahoo news; apparently this violent video game is sparking a racial controversy.
We should start a thread about it.

You must be near Bowling Green. I live in Kentucky as well, Louisville. Weather is fine for me. 37 degrees, no snow and about to leave the house now.

I think there are VERY few people that actually played RE4 like you did. Sure, it kinda sucks if you look at it that way, but it's very obvious Capcom isn't catering to that crowd. They're more interested in catering to a crowd that's more interestered in playing pure action games, replaying a game to unlock all the available stuff, playing online with friends, etc.
They took a much bigger risk going from the previous REs -to- RE4 to begin with, since a large number of fans in the series enjoyed the series for the horror and scare elements too. Those were pretty much completely absent in RE4 and it still did well, so they're just moving further in a certain direction.
For you I guess there's very little reason to replay at all. For the average player, there's probably the same motivation to replay the game as any other game of the sort: Unlockables, harder difficulty levels, playing with different friends, etc. You're just not going to find the type of game here that RE4 is, and honestly judging from the comments I would say unfortunately you're mostly alone really.

Just got back from Gamestop, anyone else get one of these swank art cells?

Richmond, I go to EKU. But she lives near the border of Tennessee in Whitley City. Their school is canceled tomorrow :lol

Online Mercenaries is already in. I doubt they'll patch it, since I doubt they can magically get the game running much better after release. MT Framework has always been a little weaker on the PS3, like any other multiplatform engine that was built for 360 games first. I doubt MT Framework 2.0 will be any different, but it's far from unplayable so I don't see them doing much about that.

No, I'm not sure if it's Gamestop exclusive or what, but they only got a couple of them and I got one because I'm a "regular customer". I barely buy a game a month there :/RoboPlato said:

Yeah everyone's tastes are different and for me, going back to the levels that tormented me a week before, only now I'm super powered and have a gun that flings five bad guys off the catwalk every time I pull the trigger, that's one of the great joys in life.
I never liked the RE games for the melee combat, probably because I don't get to shoot people in real life with superpowered guns, but do get to engage in a lot of melee combat due to my time on the Ultimate Fighting circuit. So I don't want to play a game where it's just another day at work for me. I mean, they even made the main character look like me. I want fantasy, not real life, dammit!

I'm pretty sure you need at least one weapon equipped on each character. What I did was give her all the weapons that use different ammo from the weapons I wanted to use. I took away her handgun after 1-1, and ammo didn't become a problem for me anymore. she was totally a mule too. She carried all my grenades and all the ammo for shit that I didn't even have on me. :lol
Up to the end of 2-1 and so far I would say it's like Resi 4 without the great pacing, atmosphere and inventiveness. It's a perfectly playable game but I can pretty much already feel that it won't be reaching the same heights. In fact I'd say it's ever so slightly bland so far.
GiantBomb gives it 5/5
http://www.giantbomb.com/resident-evil-5/61-20569/
"There's really no way Resident Evil 5 could have lived up to the momentous impact made by the last proper Resident Evil game, but I don't think it needed to. That game paved the way for a lot of other great games, one of which is this direct sequel. I played it start to finish in three sittings, have played it extensively in other capacities while working on this review, and still can't wait to go back and play through it again cooperatively on higher difficulties to open up more of its goodies. If that's not the definition of a fine action game, I don't know what is."

they arent fmv. Custom costumes apparently show up in them.jett said:I had no idea the cut-scenes were FMV. I guess that explains the graphical difference between them and gameplay.
and i like how you edit your post to emphasis the negativity.
"I had no idea the cut-scenes were pre-recorded FMV. Kinda lame to be honest."
