Ok...so I finished Resi 5

Here are some of my thoughts...

Chris Redfield is pretty boring in reality. I know Leon is overrated but at least he has a sense of humour and more personality.

Wesker looks like a douche in that outfit...Jill looks great. I've heard people talk about how Chris was on steroids but nothing about Jill getting a boob job? they looked a whole lot bigger than in RE3.

The first time I saw Josh I was like...well this guy is dead. Figured he was the token character to be killed somewhere in the storyline and must say I was disappointed he wasn't used more.

Felt a lot like playing RE4 but a little more evolved. The Irving boss was very reminiscent of Salazar.

I looooooove the proximity bombs. They are great for bosses, reapers, chainsaw guys and whatever you call those things on the ship that have heads made out of steel. (must apologise for not knowing correct enemy names yet)

I didn't like the inventory. Seemed even more unrealistic than the magic item boxes. Where was all that stuff being stored in between chapters?

I miss puzzles, I miss combining things. I have no idea why they removed the combining of treasures.

Grenade Lancher FTW.

Sheva is a pretty hot character and I found her to be fairly useful at times. While it would've been nice to see Beck Chambers instead of her I've got to admit I couldn't see Becky doing some of those martial arts moves in the cut scenes with Wesker so it might not've worked.

Wesker was a tough boss. I was not disappointed like when it came to fight Saddler in RE4.

Would I play it again? yes...

How does it rank in the series? probably my least favourite out of the main series but still a great game...

That's about it off the top of my head

I agree with every single thing you said

I agree with all except for this:

RE5 is either my second or third favorite. I'm torn between REmake.

But if Sheva was replaced with Rebecca, RE5 would instantly be my favorite.

I actually stored a crap ton of gems and such because I assumed I would be combining them with some ceremonial masks.

Now you just have to get the DLC. In Desperate Escape there's actually more stuff with Josh.

Not to mention you can play as Rebecca in mercs!

I think Jill's boobs are the same size. They may just be pushed up in her tight outfit. I really don't think any of the inventory systems are realistic in RE.

ill never forget the time when i got and beat RE5. on the day it came out, as soon as i got outta skool i went straight to best buy, got the last copy there and when i got home around 4 o clock i played it non stop until i beat it, it was like 6 am when i did then i went to bed and the next day i started to play mercs

This actually has got to be the most realistic by far. It's real time and you can see your equipment being carried.

The attache case in RE4 was realistic enough. Then again, where does Leon keep the case itself?


@Godzilla90s: Best day of your life, eh?

And what kind of attache case could fit that many weapons in it?

Oh right. Didn't think that through

Woah, a weekend. That makes it even more awesome.

I've reviewed a few more videos and pictures and they definitely look bigger to me. In Resident Evil 3 she looks like an A cup - In Resident Evil 5 she resembles more a C cup. I was reading that the experiments that Wesker did on her 'changed' her body so maybe it could be explained that way.

As for the inventory part. I agree with you to a degree apart from Resident Evil 0 and Outbreak.

I thought they were realistic enough.

No, the changes that resulted from experimentation had to do with her hair and skin color.

Yeah. Maybe the creators just like boobs? Besides, they don't look that much bigger.

Why are we delving so deep into this, game characters tend to change visually over time

Yeah. This would be like asking why Lara Croft's boobs don't look like traffic cones anymore.

Just trying to make a point like anybody who knows they are right about something

I'm sure you'd find a discussion about that somewhere on a Tomb Raider forum.

I like boobs, this is a resident evil forum, so I asked if anybody noticed that Jills boobs are obviously bigger than in the past.

I think they grew the same size that between RE1 (original) and Nemesis.

Because graphics are much better than they were in the PS1 era.

This. And I actually thought the inventory system was one of the best parts about the game. It worked just how it did in the Outbreak games. Yeah the attache case from RE4 may be a little more realistic but I think the real-time inventory system worked well in the context of RE5 since it was a co-op based game.

Like Nite said, no RE inventory system is realistic, and it doesn't matter. I mean magical item boxes or a attache case with 8 weapons...
