Resident Evil 5 - Should you get it?

Resi 5, is it worth it?

I'd have to say yes, if you plan on playing through the game more than once, I definitely would recommend you get it.

One man's opinion doesn't really effect much...

Put in your opinions.

Well well look who is here LOL jks dont get it I will buy it for PC no xbox tho or ps3

I just beat it today! and it's way worth it! It's a great game!

its an excellent game, well worth a few replays,finding treasures and BSAA logos is another bonus activity to do, and give sheva a good weapon and take away that pistol cos thats all she'll use!! i really can't understand why some people find the controls awkward,they suite the game fine and are pretty easy when you get the hang of it, im talking of the xbox version, whats it like for ps3 users??

Maybe... I don't know the real story but Wesker and his super powers might restrain me from playing it again... Has nothing to do with RE / Biohazard... Its more like Star wars than RE... All that teleporting crap...

hes not really teleporting, its because his dna has been altered by the virus to give him more super human like powers

He just moves so quickly it looks like he is teleporting.
Back to topic: I haven't played the full game yet, but I love the demo. I've played it as many times as I can every time I go to my friends house. It is definitely the first game I will get, probably the Special Edition.

i might buy this on pc but does the pc versio have online coop does anyone know ?

It probs. have but you will need windows live probably... And only XBOX 36o controller... Unless somebody releases patch for joy...

even though I never played the game yet I know that it is worth while with what I am seeing

You got that right. Even if you don't like the new RE style or the way the story has gone, it is still a great, entertaining game.

I am for the most part pleased with the story so far, and this game is alot of fun, it should be a great experience, I am still playing through it, there hasn't been anything from what I have played so far that seems to be made specifially for a scare, unless you find the enemies, and mutations and all of that horrific, which it kind of is, otherwise most of the fear is through the extreme tension, that is what I have noticed so far.

Yeah. What do you think of the control schemes? Your on xbox right? I read that Jan Takeuchi liked the difficult control schemes because they added a bit more tension to the action filled game. Once you get used to them though, it's just a lot of fun to shoot Majini.

The game was beaten far too fast though, My first run was 8:24... On Amateur though

Mercs is still fun though.

Yes I am playing on 360, which one are you?

The controls, well I immediately chose the ones that were like actual RE controls, which I think can definately add more tension, but I just chose them because they are most familiar and I dislike the other ones.

Even though I was using controls similar to RE4, it still felt very strange playing on a 360 controller, it felt wierd pressing X to shoot instead of A. Otherwise I have gotten used to them, but Sheva uses up alot of ammo, when it would be better to just knife your opponent. And also, there doesn't seem to be much meaning for the bosses, they just come unprovoked and then you kill them and that is it....

I will be playing on the 360 as well as soon as I get my own. So far, I've only played the demo at my friends house. I use control Type B, because I played RE4 on my PC with a gamepad and like you said, it is very weird to shoot with X. I prefer to use the trigger, and by now I've gotten just as good if not better at aiming with the right thumbstick in RE5 as the left one in RE4.

You are going to be shooting with R? I meant that I aim with R and then shoot with X, while holding R and pressing A reloads.

i prefer control type d personally

The one with the strafing? I dislike that one, it was strange enough trying to play on a 360 controller, but a strange control type was too much for me....

Same, I use B, which is a combination of D and C I believe, so that you shoot with R, aim with right TS, but move solely with the left TS, like RE4. No strafing, which I prefer. It makes is slightly harder to dodge and stuff. I enjoy a challenge.

havent really tried all control options, i started off with control type d and kinda liked the strafing, might try the other types for a challenge!!

I just beat RE5 right now, so my opinion is yes you should get it.
