Yes, I'd love for more people to argue with about how overrated RE4 and Leon Kennedy is.

okay, NiteKrawler is dominate

And there are 26 guests looking at the site now. Man, why can't my site get this kind of traffic?

I can't say anything about this. I've visited this site as a guest too. Like I said in the other thread, I used the RE timeline from Mass long before I registered. Lol @ 31 guests

ok let's start then, to me RE5 i just as overrated as RE4, maybe I'm being oldfashion,I don't know

btw: yeah, lots of guest are always in the forum, what are they doing here? just reading?

RE5 isn't overrated. A lot of the old RE fans don't like it because it has too much action, the RE4 fans don't like it because it isn't RE4, the shooter fans don't like it because you can't move and shoot at the same time and it did get some low review scores because reviewers are dicks. It isn't overrated, RE4 is. But I'm going to sleep now, it's late. Bye!

I'm not trying to begin a fight, but the only thing that pisses me off about RE5 is how similiar it is to RE4 in terms of gameplay, even though it was realeased 5 years later. But that's just my opinion.

Some of them might be members who are just browsing the forum on their lunch hour at work before deciding if they should log on and reply to something...

Not mentioning any names

To be honest, I think that it gets just the right amount of treatment. It's not as good as RE4, and doesn't deserve the same level of respect. Also, it lost a number of things that were characteristic of other RE games, including 4. That being said, it's still alot fo fun and I think most fans recognize that.

As to the guests, better that than a completely dead forum. I've been on some sites there is at most two active users and maybe three or four guests logged on during an entire day.

Don't you mean Leon S. Kennedy? Watching a gameplay demo of ORC that had the subtitles turned on, I saw that when Leon talks it says "Leon S. Kennedy: blah blah..." So dumb.

Well considering RE5 is the sequel to RE4, I think we can get over it. I'm baffled that you would use such an argument. I don't see people complaining about Super Mario Bros. 3 because its gameplay is too similar to the first one. While we're at it, RE 2 and 3 piss me off because the gameplay is too much like RE 1. [/sarcasm]

How is RE5 not as good as RE4? I guess it might not be your cup of tea if you liked the minimal scares in RE4 compared to the basically non-existent ones in RE5, or if you liked babysitting Ashley more than having a competent AI ally at your side or something. But to say outright that RE5 is not as good as RE4 is just asking to be buried in reasons why RE5 could be considered MUCH better than RE4.

First off, it seemed too short for an RE game. Second, all RE games before tended to immerse the player in the environments while RE5 felt like I was being pushed along way too fast with hardly any backtracking. For me personally, atmosphere is one of my favorite aspects of the whole franchise; gameplay is of course the first, but RE5 just didn't suck me into the locations like the other games did. Their were of course individual things about RE5 that were better, like Sheva (I really haven't understood the criticism of her AI that I've read on this forum). On the whole, it was a great experience, but felt way too rushed for an RE game.

Too short for an RE game? It was longer then RE0-3, Survivor 1 and 2 and Dead Aim and about the same length as REmake for me.

Also, I think story is more important then gameplay, at least for me. The story of RE5 was much better then the story of RE4.

I leave the rest to you Nite. I'm too tired to argue.

Nah, I respect his argument. I can't argue against the way he feels lol. I just figured he would make bad arguments like that Leon is better or that RE4 was much scarier or something, but his complaint is valid, even if I don't feel the same way.

You are right, but it isn't too short for a RE game.

It seemed long the first time I played it, but that was probably because I had read reviews stating that it was quite short. The next couple times I played through, the whole thing seemed to fly by in a way that the other games didn't. Maybe it was just a matter of perception, since as I said before, immersion in the environment is very important for me.

I don't get why reviewers said it was short. If you look at Homefront or Medal of Honor, which takes about 2-3 hours, or Call of Duty and stuff, which takes about 5-6 hours, RE5 really isn't that short. I completed it in 9-10 hours, which is a decent length these days.

These are just different oppinions, he thinks that and I think what I wrote earlier, but I think we all agree that they're great games, period

I noticed that too. So unnecessary. I think just Leon and Claire would've been enough, no need to have the full name.

I guess there were a lot of guests on May 01 2011, because there were 156 users online .

Yeah, that's nuts. I have no idea what was going on that day.

Especially when the last visitor count before that was like 36 or something.

RE4 is overrated and underrated, simultaneously.

You have a point. Many people praised the new gameplay style while others complained about the changes. Would you people want Windows 7 to run and look like Windows 98? Didn't think so.
