Resident Evil 5

you enjoying it OU ?

ive completed it but playing again with a machine gun and sniper rifle with unlimited ammo that doesnt need reloading , and as sheva in her disco outfit ( lol )great fun!!

if you completely upgrade any weapon you can then unlock it after the first completion
 
It was this or SF4........I've got Half Life 2 now (and Portal) so I've got enough to keep me going short and long term playing. I'll get RE5 once I've completed HL2 and when its come down in price :)
 
no-one else playing this then?

I started it but got lost in that compound (:o) and as that put me off I thought that maybe it wasn't that great anyway.

Then I restarted it with a mate and he'd done about 3/4 of the game and had unlocked loads of weapons and we couldn't work out how to share them so he was constantly protecting me and that made the game a bit boring, so the answer is no, I'm not but I might pick it up again when I've finished Fallout 3.
 
Just finished it. I was pretty disappointed to be honest. Way way too short. My son said we were on the final level and didn't believe him. Res 4 was fantastic. I loved it, played it through then played it again with unlimited rocket launcher. But Res 5 was too much like a res 4 with slightly different graphics. The puzzles were retarded in Res 5. On the whole not a great game at all. Fallout3 and Farcry2 are much better value for money.
 
This finally came out on the PC. Took so long that the price dropped to 17 quid. First game that has the fan on my 8800GT running at full pelt. Still looks and plays well. Playing on veteran and yup its fucking well hard.

I'm just on the final boss battle as I speak, my 8800gt isn't running any harder than normal and that's at 1440 x 900 with full AA and AF and everything maxed, my fps in the bench mark was about 70 fps.

It does look good and it plays well but I still mourn the loss of atmosphere and proper survival horror staples like actual puzzles and proper tension. It certainly doesn't create the tension of the first two Resident Evil games, I remember it being so tense when going into new rooms or hallways, just waiting for a surprise attack or when you could hear the zombies in the other room and really didn't want to go into it even though you knew you had to to advance.
 
Are you two playing with keyboard or controller on the PC? I found it almost unplayable with a keyboard and mouse... Awful port of controls - I HATE having to press a button to move the crosshairs...

you don't have to press a button to move the crosshairs, you simply right click, aim and shoot.

I used my xbox controller so I could play it sitting in bed but I used the keyboard and mouse for a bit and they were grand, though it made it a good bit easier.

Its like that on RE4 as well. So its not a problem for me.
 
That's clicking a button, no? Or simply move the mouse and shoot, a la most FPS shooters... Nah, dinna like it captain.

My loss.

But that wouldn't work in Resident Evil, it's not a run and gun fps, even if it is going more in that direction.
 
just finished it for the first time today, quite an enjoyably concise game i thought, some frustrations with my partner but still not so much as to spoil things overall. less puzzles admittedly but i thought that it got very tense at some points i must say.
 
I just got this for the 360 and it's great, I regret not picking it up a year ago.

There's some downloadable content (Lost in Nightmares) which is brilliant and highly recommended...captures the spooky feel of the first game! There's also a Mercenaries mode which is bloody addictive as hell.
 
I'm doing it on easy solo, anyone want to do it on normal/hard co-op? Or even better, Mercenaries Reunion co-op? :D

eta....couldn't resist buying this costume for Sheva:

Apart from very short passages of play, she's there the whole time.

Gets less annoying as you get used to it...
 
Just give her shit guns and ammo, don't give her anything useful as she'll waste it. She actually coms in quite handy in some scenario's.
 
I was disappointed with res 5 tbh. I loved Res 4 and I still rate it as the greatest game ever made on every level. res 5 had no originality or imagination. It was just too obviously a repackaged version of res4 except shorter and dumbed down (at least in terms of the puzzles etc). It's not a bad game I just felt that it felt likw it was lazily put together and had no outstanding features of it's own that distinguished it from the work of art that was res 4.

And it was far far too short.
 
i think i'm near the end of it now, i'm up against a boss with a machine gun who seems indestructable. tips?
