It is pretty hard to discuss for me by the way, because English isn't my main language and I'm not that good at it, so sorry for any grammar mistakes.

You seem to know it pretty well actually.

I guess the same thing could be said for me involving RE4. Nothing will ever change my mind on how much of a good Resident Evil game it is, or as a game in general. I will always love it, and it will probably always be my favorite. It was what got me into the franchise, and will always have a special place in my heart and in my memories.

Let's end this discussion then. Now you know why a lot of people don't consider RE4 a real RE game, so stop facepalming. The only thing I want to add is that almost all people that think RE4 is the best game in the series, started their Resident Evil adventure with 4.

Ps: dictionary helped me a lot .

But I think a lot of those people were too close minded to play the other games.

But there's nothing wrong with RE4 being someone's favorite.

I didn't say there was something wrong with it, just that it is pretty rare for someone that played since the beginning.

Eh, I guess you're right. But usually the first experience will form somewhat of a bias. A lot of the first games that I have played at a young age I will always hold in higher regard than later sequels, just because those first experiences will always stay with me. However, I do try to accept changes made to the standard formula.

But the thing is, there are enough people that started with RE4 and still prefer the old games. I know quite a lot of them.

If you start the series with RE4 with survival-horror in mind, then you will probably prefer the old games even today.
If you start the series with RE4 with a third person shooter in mind, then you will probably prefer RE4 and 5.

I'm not talking about everybody, but RE4 attracted a lot of shooter fans. Most survival-horror fans (even if they played RE4 or 5 first) prefer the older games.

Really, I just like RE4 the most because I have more fun with it than the other games, but not by that much. Plus the nostalgia and near-flawless gameplay that it has.

When I bought REmake, the second RE game I ever owned and played, I instantly learned that it wasn't like RE4. However, the only thing that turned me off at first was the controls, which was because I had never experienced controls like that before. When I got use to it, I was right at home with them.

I don't know, I love them all, I just prefer RE4 a little bit more than the others (I say a little bit because I pretty much have the same amount of fun with all of them). Of course, my mind could change. Sometime I feel like I like REmake, RE2, or RE5 more. But RE4 always somehow stays my favorite.

Like, when I finally own the GC or HD versions of CVX, I will finally be able to control the game without all of the frustration that the over-sized PS2 control stick creates for that kind of control scheme. There's a chance that one will become my favorite because of it's length and story, not to mention difficulty.

That is why I said "Im not talking about everybody". Of course there are a few exceptions, but usually it goes like I said.

CV is awesome. It's my third favorite RE game after RE1/REmake and RE2.

I've been face palming some people on youtube, saying stuff like "RE4 was useless, wasn't really Resident Evil," "They should have never made RE5," and "They should remake RE2 and 3 as an apology to RE4 and 5."

Sounds like a good idea to me.
