Just recently replayed this (twice) with a buddy, so since it's all still relatively fresh in my mind I'll keep an eye on this thread for sure. That and I just love the RE series (for the most part), so I was bound to take a look once I saw a new topic. I never really "got" where all the hate for RE5 (or RE6 for that matter) came from. Okay sure, you're no longer wandering around on your own, but RE was never truly scary (in the "o lawd now I'm going to have scary bad dreams" sense) anyway. What was scary was thinking "oh gently caress I don't want to run into another one of those bastards!" whenever you were on the verge of death, and that element has generally remained intact throughout. But whatever, it's that "muh survival horror" bandwagon garbage so gently caress it. Outside of those loving QTE surprises and the occasional moment where Chris/Sheva will seem to control sluggishly like a confused drunk when the action heats up, I have very few problems with RE5. As for the controversy... hah! What a load of bollocks. I mean, god forbid that there are Africans in Africa! Who would have thought of such a thing! But if for whatever reason you're still concerned, Capcom decided to throw in a bunch of villagers from all o'er the world before release, including a bunch of white guys in very European/North America garb, and the very bizarre Josef Stalin/Saddam Hussein hybrids in white pyjamas. Lots of them. In West Africa. Yes. Edit: Oh Jesus Christ the remnants of that loving GFWL garbage caused the same issues here. Disconnections for no discernible reason causing several chapter replays. ZogrimAteMyHamster fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jan 4, 2016 |

Isn't that more to do with bizarre Japanese censorship issues rather than just stubborn laziness? The Japanese version of RE4 doesn't feature decapitations either.

Pretty much, it seems like that sort of "well if we can't have it, you can't have it either" thinking with newer RE titles when it comes to showing the player just how badly they hosed up against whatever monster just killed 'em. Generic "oh no I fell over" animations seem to be the norm too, which is a bit crap really, and there's lots of lost potential when you take into account the monster designs. That being said, they actually did up their game significantly with the various ways to die in RE6. There's no instance of a head falling off anyone's shoulders, but there is a whole bunch of creatively gruesome ways to make you feel like some sort of helpless idiot when something kills you.

Zain posted:You won't be disappointed! It's either we both gently caress up or he kills us. Also, I know the end of the main game is still some way off, but are you planning to do any Mercenaries stuff as a bonus after? If it'll sway you into saying "yes", there'll be a whole extra bunch of ways available for CJacobs to screw things up!

Found one. The 2000 IS-DT, which sounds like a top-secret Soviet tank gun and will set you back $2,200. Bit of a high price just to mash A+D for 30 seconds, but who am I to judge!
