graphics in this game are fucking amazing. it's funny to me that capcom can make rather appealing looking characters where developers like bethesda and bioware fail so so hard. or maybe not that funny. it's a third person shooter rather than a wrpg i guess. why am i talking to myself?

I still haven't started yet, but I'm curious that since the beheadings are censored (I know this from the demo) are there ANY cool/gory deaths in the game, or is anything good forced to be happening off camera? no specifics, just yes or not, please.
btw, the whole idea of censoring ANY player deaths is shocking and bewildering to me. this is an M rated game. perhaps they thought the idea of having a pretty female protagonist be killed gorily was too unpleasant for people? didn't that shit happen in previous REs though? altogether the decision to censor deaths seems random and pointless and lacking precedent.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
yes.
There is an adequate amount of censoring of this game in the US version but there is still some gore and cool death sequences in this game. I agree this is beyond being retarded as this is already an M rated game and it has been done before with RE4 with few complaints from the general press so why start now? And on the US version where 360 fans are already used to chainsaws slicing people in half with bits and pieces of blood flying all over the screen.HorribleJames said:

Only up to about chapter 2-3 but the game is pretty freaking cool. The cattle prod is almost as cool as the gravity gun from HL2. But i wish the upgrade/inventory system was more like RE4. I miss the "Welcome!" "What 'r ya buyin?" What 'r ya sellin'?"

Up to 6-1. I really got into the game halfway through chapter 2, and I played some online co-op with some dudes. It's fucking fun. It's hard for me to say if RE5 is better than RE4.

besides the chainsaw beheading what else was censored for the NA release?

Professional is stupid in this game... It HAS to be played Co-Op or you get owned. I like the fact that you die really easily, but the AI takes too long to heal me when I'm RIGHT NEXT to them. Not to mention the AI wastes ammo like crazy, I'd rather have nobody than the AI. I don't want to play Co-Op because most of my friends aren't very good at RE5 and I'd probably end up moaning at them for dying too much

.It's the same in all versions and it really doesn't seem censored. It's not like in the demo where he just hits you and you fall. It still does the same struggle that Leon does, you just don't see the head rolling because the camera pans down.The body is really bloodied up too. It's not the same as in RE4 but it's still entertaining and has a similar impact, just not as outwardly gory.WickedLaharl said:

I honestly think you should be able to move while shooting in the next game, it should just completely destroy your accuracy, like the awp in counter-strike or something. Not being able to step the the side while aiming your weapon gets me hit a lot...

Isn't it possible to upgrade the good weapons on the easier difficulties, get (unlockable spoiler)

folks playing single player who were massive re4 fans:
enjoying it?

I really hate the HUD sometimes - on chapter 3-1 and after finishing turning the bridge crank it tells me to press X... wasn't paying attention though and Sheva was currently crossing the bridge, soon as I let go it collapsed and she fell to her death :lol
Now I gotta do this whole damn section over again

Every bit as much as I thought I would. Only complaints are Sheva's presence - but she hasn't been much a hinderance so far in terms of gameplay - and the shop. I miss upgrading in-game, and doing it in a menu is pretty jarring.
But all the important stuff - core mechanics, atmosphere, exploration, environmental diversity, fun...all here in spades for the RE4 fan; even in single player. I have no plans to play co-op, and certainly don't feel a pressing need.

360 owners in online co-op, have you ever been randomly kicked out of the party thus losing your progress?
It sucks because the person playing Sheva (me) does not get credit for completing the chapter segment.

Hell yes. I'm going through it by myself first and I'm currently at 3-2. I did replay the first couple levels to try out splitscreen co-op, which was a blast, but I'm having just as much fun by myself. I'd like to clear a couple misconceptions:beelzebozo said:
- The game is genuinely creepy. You'll see this immediately upon taking control of Chris.
The Majini glowering at you in dead silence, coupled with Chris' inexplicable commentary on the pitfalls of capitalism, is PRICELESS.
- Sheva is smart if you know how to use her. She DOESN'T take ammo willy-nilly. What she does do is take ONE ammo cartridge for herself whenever she's empty, just so she has something to defend herself with. If there are two ammo carts out in the open, and her gun is empty, she'll run ahead and grab ONE of them, then stand beside the other so you can take it (and loot her inventory for the ammo, should you feel so inclined). Know this and the pack-horse strategy of using her to carry ammo, and keep her in Cover mode (except for bosses; switch to Attack for the bat-scorpion), and you'll be fine. Honestly, her AI hasn't been a problem.
This game is amazing. The best single-player experience this gen, really. And it looks fabulous on PS3. The comparison screenshots are misleading; in the screens Chris' machete looks all muddled, but in motion on my PS3 it looks crisp and clear, with every divot detailed for a strong sense of three-dimensionality. I bet if you forced the PS3 to output at 720 and cranked up your TV's sharpness, it'd look even better (but I'm content where I'm at with the default). I'd also say the Dualshock3 is the best controller for RE4-style gameplay yet; I'm kicking ass more effortlessly than I recall on the Cube. To PS3 users sitting on the fence: get it.

dude, spoiler tag, and it'll be discussed in this very game.
and yes to your second question.
PLOT discussion (up to 5.2)
BIG SPOILER
Game picks up once all the daylight leeches out and we get interiors + dark areas. More RE like. still think the game is broken.
and oh the chapter 5 bosses are AMAZING.
BIG SPOILER
Its so apparently bird face woman is jill. I think the first scene she showed up and jumped, I was like its Jill. The mask gave it away. I hope I'm wrong. But once we got to chapter 5, her tank is empty.... If I'm not, please don't spoil it. Will come back to this

So far it's pretty fun but definitely lacking the charm of RE4. The inventory system is weak, as is the shop system (I thought I was upgrading my gun but actually just buying the weapon over and over). I'm also not impressed with any of the boss battles, as they lack the originality of those from 4. And how many times have I seen this Saddam Hussein zombie? And are the controls different? I don't remember having so much difficulty running and moving in previous games.

And for a completely different perspective, I completely hated playing through RE4, although I did enjoy watching my 10 (at the time) year old brother play through it, but I really enjoyed 5 and already beat it once with no co-op whatsoever. And my bro who loved RE4 so much hates 5 because of the new inventory system. I'm trying to get him to play through with me on veteran with no luck so far.beelzebozo said:

I've been reading some RE fansites, where everybody hated RE4 and for some reason they all love RE5. :lol Even the IGN RE board.

No idea. Mental retardation I guess.
Absolutely. This is RE4-2 in every way and a more than worthy successor. I'm not even done, just finished 5-1, and I can say that without a doubt. It seems as if there is even more unlockable stuff too. I'm going to be playing this just as much as RE4.beelzebozo said:

This is not only a resident evil 5 question, but a question for the whole resident evil series.
This is something that bothers me when I am playing a resident evil game...
When someone get himself mutated, can they go back to their human form?

Played about 4-5 hours with Teknoman last night, got to 3-1 I think.
This game is so enjoyable, we've actually died or some at the bosses, especially where we made it
Also the bosses have had hilarious chatting between us:
Spoilers for bosses up to 3-1.
Loving this game so much.
Also, this game has the intensity I felt in RE4 as well.

Mines boss: "Hey volc run past this proxy mine to get teh boss to set it off when chases you"
*stops and waits for the boss to set it off, even though it doesn't.
"OH GOD IT DIDNT SET IT OFF, ITS CHASING ME, KILL IT NOW.

To hell with those dog enemies, they freak me the fuck out. Also, Tekno likes to run into tripwire traps.
