From what I heard the game also has a lot of co-op issues, the game's netplay is incredibly laggy and frustrating. And in split-screen play about a quarter of your screen is wasted thanks to scaling.

Played through the game like three times on the 360 with internet partners and I didn't run into any lag at all, so I don't know if that's a PS3 thing or if I got lucky or what.

I do like Yahtzee and think he's funny and everything, but these reviews do show that beyond the humor, he's not that interesting of a reviewer. The racism argument has been done to death and is about as interesting as that hat of his, and the pissing and moaning over the inventory system would make sense if he wasn't comparing it to RE4's which, for as much credit is due for an egg=egg, still had you swapping out and discarding and agonizing as much as RE5's. Remember, a shotgun would take up a good quarter of your final attache case (you actually bought size upgrades, so it's even worse earlier on.)

As far as the AI partner goes, I've heard you can manage even on Professional provided you only give her two weapons to work with and monitor the hell out of her ammo output, but I never had to deal with that, because I only played on co-op.

I gotta say the same thing: Co-Op was flawless. I played with two different dudes playing through the game twice and I had nothing but an excellent experience. Yes single player is lackluster, but it's not awful. Also on the 360 by the way.

And yes the racism angle has been debated ad nauseum, but the review is still funny.

I'm glad somebody had a good experience with this game. His review had me worried. I like everyone else loved RE4 so was glad to see it was more of the same. I am a little disappointed they haven't gone beyond the giant dudes with bags on their heads but I'm hoping I enjoy this game.

Also the spear chucking bit is a pretty funny take on the racism controversy.

Add me to the like-list. I'm near the end of the fourth section in a co-op game and the thing has been a blast. Not as good as RE4, but it's still worth giving a try with a friend.

CPU controlled character being a pain in the ass? Well...welcome to video games. On the flip side, Capcom should have just forced everyone to play Co-op only (or designed the game so you can play alone, without another character).

Five for Yahtzee anyways.

Yeah, five stars for recursive armor.

that guy at the start with the Aladdin hood kind of reminded me of the merchant.

Invent-tree?

Silent Hill is in a league of its own. I enjoy RE for its pulpy Z-grade awesomeness. Granted, the matrix kung fu shit pisses me off, and the whole use-special-weapon-with-time-limit-before-facility-explodes endings are getting a bit old, but it wouldn't be the same without it. Maybe it's something about playing the earlier games during childhood which makes me such a fan.

They actually had a neat interview with him were he explains that no one wants to hear a review consisting of good things about a game. And he does point out bits in games he likes...

Primitive ways?

The point.







Your head.

I'm just saying, he makes the game sound crap, which I disagree with. Oh, who gives a fuck anyway?

no biggie don't stress it
