From OXCGN:
"First off I'm not a fan of the Resident Evil games, having never played any of them apart from what I've been told was a crappy port of Resident Evil 4 on the PC. I know, it's a shock, but there you go: I'm a Resident Evil virgin.
You know what?
From what I have played so far I am loving it. Whether it's the fear of enemies running at me with axes and knives or the rewarding team work that you do with your partner, everything about RE 5 just works."
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
An exploration of whether RE5 is truly the most logical next step for a remake, or whether there are others in line who deserve their day in the sun.
Remake of Resident evil outbreak as well as file 2. Same gameplay as the recent remakes. Choose what ever character you want to play as. With online co op.
Nope.
Rather remake other past Capcom & non-mainline RE games ... IF they have to continue churning out Remakes.
I'd rather want a new 3rd person RE spin-off
Dino Crisis and Onimusha Reboot
New IPs after Pragmata ships
I loved RE4 and got it for GCN, PS2, and Wii. I wanted all the storylines and all the gameplay they could throw at me. I bought all the old ones for GCN again too.
I really hope RE5 is that exciting again, even though it is a new generation!
So far it looks like it!
Apart from the clunky movement which does get frustrating after a while the enemies runnign at you in the small alleys and inside buildings creates great tension and claustrophobia..
You have limited amount of space to work with and ammo is scarce pure fun and an enjoyable gaming experience.
Do try out co-op online with a friend as swapping ammo, guns and health does create a rewarding co-op experience.
I too was a bit mehh about the game to start with, but now, reading this, and hopefully giving the demo a play this afternoon (yes, it's Sunday afternoon here in Aust) I think this game will end up on my ever growing "must-have-game-list" ; which in todays world, just never seems to stop growing.
ANY gamer who complains about not having enough games to play, or not having a decent choice is basically very one-eyed or down t=right spoilt. We've never had a better time in gaming than we all have right now, and it's only getting better, not worse.
So stop complaining, and start gaming - - hey, that rhymes - cool.
I love the tight claustrophobic alley ways having to scurry away jumping through windows to gain a few seconds to just reload your weapon or change weapon and such...
Yeah the movement is a bit clunky and like i said in time of need you will never always remember to aim and then reload as the enemies are in good numbers every encounter so you will NEED to run and gain a few extra seconds to pull of reload and such.
Not at all mate if you play the game purely on SP the A.I ally is more than capable of holding her own against the enemies, healing you and also picking up ammo and items for use..
The onyl down side is that you cannot actually speak and plan traps and such for enemies, and you cannot organize how to tackle each area..
But overall the A.I of your ally is top notch and much more involving than Army of Two and so forth for that matter.
