This game has gone from a must buy to a budget purchase for me in the space of a few months!

I must admit I was concerned about Resi 5 after the demo.
This pretty much confirms my fears. |

Jesus.
I have been longing for this for yonks and it just sounds neither here nor there. I want to play the story in single player mode really, but the AI sounds very annoying. Sigh. I could play it in multiplayer I guess, but it just doesn't seem right. Resi games are made to be played alone, so you soak up the atmosphere and get immersed in it. Online with lag, piss breaks and talking about the week's football results doesn't sound that immersive :/ I did enjoy the demo a lot, so I'll probably still buy this on Friday but still... 7/10. Sigh. |

So then Resident Evil returns to the niche from which is came.
Thank fuck for that I was getting a little fed up of all the people that think they know the series inside out. |

Well done EG for giving RE5 an honest score. Certain other sites seem to be reviewing the game based solely on nostalia/love for the series. Anyone who played the demo knew this was going to be a disappointment. Damn shame, because this has gone from potentially being the best instalment in the series, to perhaps being the worst.........
......now, about RE6..............

There is something missing in the review. I can't quite put my finger on it. But a certain topic of conversation seems to have been almost wiped out of existence. It's like that Family Guy where Brian and Stewie are on a tour bus and the german tour guide answers the question of what happened to the jews between 1939-45 with the statement "Nothing, they were all on holiday"
To be fair, the racism debate is neither here nor there to me. But after having Dan write so much about it, it's really strange not to acknowledge it, one way or another in the review. Ah well. |

Wow. Awful review. Completely uninspired and petty.
I like how you reference Sheva's "British accent." Haven't you retards ever heard of a South African accent before? It sounds almost British.

I'd like to point out I have never found a problem with the controls or not moving while running - and I am a fan who considers long term to be before RE4, which is when it seems most people decided to start calling themselves ''fans''.
I'd also like to point out that. yet again, Eurogamer looks out of place when compared to other reviews, so that tells you how little you should trust EG reviews.

I wasn't planning on buying this based on the underwhelming demo, but I won it for free in a competition, so I'm not complaining.
My main concerns were the controls (to an extent) and Sheva's AI. It seems like this really will need to be played online co-op with a mic and a friend for the best experience. (which so many games aped in the wake of Resi 4, remember) And don't forget, Splinter Cell was there before Resi, too. |

I really don't know what to make of this. Having played the demo and felt unhappy with the A.I. I decided I wouldn't pick this up until it was going cheap. But then on Saturday, and with the release so close, I finally cracked under the pressure and pre-ordered it. And now EuroGamer give it 7 / 10. Interesting.
At least now - come Friday, I'll be able to give a proper opinion on it. I hope I enjoy it. I want to enjoy it and I will make the effort to try and enjoy it. |

Great tagline for point of sales -
"Resident Evil 5: a series of abrasive set-pieces strung together by camp hilarity." |

If anything, I thought this review was generous. I'd rather piss stones than play that demo again. Urrgh.

You know what. SCREW YOU CAPCOM. This is what happens when companies put greed over the loyalty and support of their fans. They make crap that stupid people will pay money for anyway. How could they possibly sink so low?? There used to be a time when maybe Capcom had some decent products released, but all this mainstream rubbish has truly blown away any respect I had for them.

Well this confirms my opinion of the demo. And unlike some of the whinging posts on here, that means I'm really looking forward to the game. This is all about the co-op and I had great fun playing through the demo with a friend. I wouldn't bother playing it solo though.
Having said that, I hope that capcom are open to the idea of re-imagining the series next time becuase I don't think this format will do for another iteration. |
