Resident Evil 5
Ok, ok, I have not seen a thread on this yet, but if there happens to be one I apologize.
RE5, What did you think of it when you played it?
I was really disappointed with it. Yes, the graphics were fucking amazing. It even impressed me when the words matched the mouths they were coming out of. The gameplay, excellent. HOWEVER, the storyline was shit, and the monsters created by the viruses are becoming too unrealistic. That part with the Ogre was fucking stupid, half of the boss battles for that matter were.
At the beginning I was confused about Jill Valentine, because Chris had a flashback of her 'tombstone'. When the hell did she die, right?
Appearantly it was something that happened in between RE3 and RE5, and the explaination wasn't bad, but the cutscene was again, fucking stupid. They could have, at least, made her death a little more tragic. This also pissed me off because I saw Jill as the only GOOD female character of RE in the first place. Claire was too whiney, and Alice... hell, I don't even remember if she made it out alive. Sheva is ok, but she probably won't hang out for another game, ya'know?
Anyways, back to the game.
The 'online experience' sucks unless you get someone who knows what they're doing, and if you don't have a headset made specially for the system you're playing it on, it's not even worth it.
There were too little levels in the game (IMO), and if I can finish it within the first night of playing it on HARD, the game's not worth my time. Sure, it can be fun, but really.
