Drunken Baker posted:I can be beaten over the head over and over with how RE5 and 6 are better games than 4, but I'll never get it. There's something to 4 that bring me (and others) back again and again and all I can think of is it has something to do with the weapons. Like, I've done countless runs with only 1 weapon (Red9 being the golden choice, obviously) but with 5 and 6 I've never had the same inclination. (Can you even do that in 6?) Never done a knife run in 4 though... I mean, obviously you'd have to cheat for a few key parts. But y'know... Except for the graphics 5 is noticeably worse than 4 on almost every level so I'm in the same boat as you. I hated 6 but can understand if someone really gets into all the melee stuff you can do. Brazilianpeanutwar posted:I always thought having your spine smashed into an electric console by Mr.X was way harder to explain surviving. I remember at the time the game was out the fan theory was that she was an android or infected with something herself. Part of this is because during the brief time you get to play as her her health is quite a bit higher than anyone else in the game. But I'm glad that officially she's just awesome and determined.

The only game I condone using the knife in regular play for anyone is Code Veronica because holy poo poo does it do a lot of damage. Also if you hold it in some cutscenes you'll note it's HUGE.

Also if you hold it in some cutscenes you'll note it's HUGE. Plus the kneecap trick! If anyone's playing it for the first time check this out. Basically the way the knife works is that instead of doing __ damage per hit, it does __ damage repeatedly until the animation finishes passing through an enemy. For a lot of enemies this isn't too important since they tend to get jump around/attack too fast/whatever once you hit them. But with regular zombies you can slash downwards as they approach you, if you time it so that you slash across their knees it will do enough damage to instantly make them fall over. But then, as they first fall to their knees, with proper timing you can do a regular old standing slash and it will hit their head multiple times as they fall down, typically killing them. But even if it doesn't, due to the way the knife's damage works slashing zombies on the ground will kill them pretty quick. So you could conceivably never use your firearm on regular zombies.

I've never beaten CV. Rented it on PS2 once but after RE3 that same old formula.. It was just worn out for me. But then I watched Weskers Report last night and there's all these clearly important scenes I'm missing so I'm gonna have to go back and do it too. 5>6 all day every day. And no one has to justify their love of 4.

Neo Rasa posted:Plus the kneecap trick! It's actually really powerful against Hunters too. Two swipes will kill a Hunter easily in Code Veronica. About the only time I'd recommend you don't use the knife are against boss fights but you'll have saved up so much ammo using the knife that bosses aren't even an issue.

5 is infinitely better than 4 because it has the best coop in the series. It's one of the best couch coop games ever. I guess if you're a nofriend haver, 4 is better.

Resident Evil 4 was ported to 13 loving platforms: GameCube, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Nintendo Wii, WiiU, iOS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Zeebo, au, and Android. I'm sure over time it sold as much or more as RE5. Compared to 6 platforms for RE5....I mean there's really no question which game was the favorite of the "new" trilogy.

commercial success doesn't necessarily correspond to quality, but every so often in this thread the same few people try to pretend that 5&6 didn't sell well because they don't like them. there's also one guy who always extends that to 4, as well.

In all seriousness, RE5 has the worst Story Levels in the series. The main game loving sucks for about 70% of the run time, the levels are just bland and incredibly boring to play. Chapter 1-1 to Chapter 2-2 are good. The worst part of the game is the turret section, definitely, just lame after you do it enough. Chapter 3-1 and Chapter 3-2 are pretty decent, but the part with Josh and the Boat is bad. Then all of Chapter 4 is Bad. Super low points. chapter 5-1, 5-2 are boring, Chapter 5-3 is Wesker but the whole level is a toll booth to getting to him. Chapters 6-1, 6-2 are lame, and 6-3 is of course Wesker which makes it good. All the DLC is fantastic. Except versus. That being said, The Mercenaries is top tier, but only 3 maps are good. Public Assembly, The Mines, and Prison. The rest are really bad, worst of them being Experimental Facility.

Unlike a lot of people I think RE6 was pretty good, but I really liked the over the top wrestling action and set pieces. Edit: vvvvvvvvv It's really because of that.

As weird as it sounds, I think the faster gameplay made me enjoy it less. 4 & 5 are clunky as poo poo, but it's polished clunk that meshes so well with the zombies. Also it dragged on forever even if there was a ton of craycray setpieces. And the snowmobile section, gently caress that.

i think a lot of people started playing re6 and never really learned how the melee system worked because the game never explained poo poo about it. that's a terrible idea! as for the rest, it's such a mixed bag that opinions vary an awful lot even by popular video game series standards. if you like some parts enough the parts you don't like seem less important, and vice versa.

Yeah, they add the enemies with guns but the encounters are generally more difficult and interesting, culminating in the engine room, which is the best sequence in 4/5. I found the melee to be more genuinely interesting in 5 than 4. I wish 6 had more varied set pieces but i found mercs to be fun. At its core, the RE6 gameplay was fine, it just wasn't helped by the scenario design.

5's worst moment was definitely when you have to go through that cave and for some reason instead of a little flashlight like Leon has in 4 one player has to use all of their might to carry a massively huge generator lamp.
