Resident EVIL is NOT what it used to be :(.....

Im sorry i have always been a fan of the RE series but these last 2 RE's in my opinion have strayed to much from the story that made them so popular. ZOMBIES. thats what i miss. I absolutely hate this new Parasite crap. I hate that they can talk to each other and everything about it. it just seems so dam dumb to me. i miss the old days fighting off zombies and conserving ur ammo and bosses that made some sense like nemesis not these overgrown armored whales (RE 5) that are small humans one second then these gigantor things the next. the science behind the genre is annoying me 2. its just not that appealing anymore. idk opinions???

Series had to evole. Either you accept the evolution or you move on. Complaining is just bothersome however.

Yes i think the seies had to evolve to but i dont think it evolved in the right direction. these parasite things should have been a whole different genre or game. if they wanted to evolve the franchise then make the zombies more aggresive or do something different with the zombies but not parasites it just feels so weak.

The series has moved on thevillagers in Resident Evil 4are faster than zombies and more intelligent.

Resident Evil 4 was mostly fine in how much action it had, but I think 5 had a little too much. The new games in the series need some parts that break up the action. I think the game should be a little more suspenseful and tense as well; and make it so that you're actually afraid of your enemies. Resident Evil 4 did this fairly well, but in RE5, I don't feel all that vulnerable.

really?

Well the series had to change and evolve, it couldn't stay like Resident Evil 0 - Resident Evil 3 in terms of gameplay without it becoming stale. People would start complaining that the series isn't doing anything new. However, I do agree that Capcom took the came in the wrong direction. Most long time fans want a survival horror game with plenty of puzzles to solve and a real sense that you're alone in a scary moody atmosphere, not a survival action game that is Resident Evil 5. I played through the demo and I wasnt scared at all... It was a let down.... Though it did have really nice graphics :P

Another thread on people wanting classic RE?

Really I don't share your pain but you have to let it go. This is starting to get old complaining about the same thing every week or every few days.

Did I say any different? The fact is it evolved. If you don't like that evolution don't follow the series. However, the whining has to stop. Its over people, deal with it.

I dont know about you but something went wrong with the series..... If you prefer action games then you'll love Resident Evil 5, however as a fan of survival HORROR games, I really am not a fan of Resident Evil 5.

Many people don't agree.

That's why we see a lot of these threads

I prefer the older style to be honest.

[QUOTE="flclempire"] Evolving to the point where its no longer remotely the same thing? Well, that does mean it is no longer RE, so he is correct.flclempire

Sorry but, people have been whing since RE 4. Its time to get over it, Seriously :| There would be no whining about the whiners if they would just accept that you can't always have things your way and move on. But no, they can't just let it go and they post thread after thread which rarely contain any piece of decent argument. So really, explain where I'm wrong? The series evolved, you don't like it, stop followwing it, you have that choice. Why clutter the board with the same complaints we've heard since when ever the hell RE 4 was released.

Many people don't agree. Synthetic_NinJI

They don't have to. Before RE4, the series only had 2 AAA out of 15. It was getting lackluster reviews and lukewarm sales, it needed to go into this direction.

That's why we see a lot of these threads

We see these threads because it is System Wars, where people come to gripe.

I prefer the older style to be honest.

Go play the older games. That goes to you and anybody else that doesn't prefer this style

I dont know about you but something went wrong with the series

You are just now came to this realization :| I agree, it started going sour in 90's, with RE3

15? Are you joking? Are you counintg all the spin offs and even the terrible Gameboy version?

It goes like this, Resident evil 0, 1,2,3, CV

Every single one of the games I listed off has gotten AA or higher

Resident Evil into a new direction isnt exactly working as well as they probably have hoped.

The series did need a change, but i think capcom changed it a bit too much...

i loved the originals, and I really liked 4 even though it wasnt really RE-ish. i played the demo of 5 and didnt like it (mostly because of the stupid AI). it would have been better if they went to thenew camera angle, but kept everything else like the originals (i think there was an old build of RE4 that was like that)

EDIT: found it

The old ones. The "evolution" of the series was a de-evolution in the survival-horror department. The atmosphere and tension are now gone with the increase in firepower, and the lack of survival elements really turned me off.

and lukewarm sales, it needed to go into this direction. Synthetic_NinJI

the old ones are way better. the last two are just so soulless

I hate re4 and 5, I want the old formula back the old formula wasn't bad capcom just wanted money therefor changed the very essence into action game and pretty much butchered the story to appeal to a wider audiance.

Yeah, lacks substance from the old ones.

I like the old ones better, but its completly reasponable why they evolved the series, it would still be stuck with silent hill as just a game for old fans. RE4 was good, i really enjoyed it, not as much as the others but it was good. I am liking RE5, but its just a decent game, they could do much better with it. They havent found a blend of the old and new good enough, also they followed re4's formula to much with re5. They just need to grow a pair and try to mix better stuff into the batch instead of sticking with one forumula.

So please, where are you getting this information from :|

RE1 sold 4 million.
RE2 sold 5 million.
RE3 sold 3.5 million.

That doesn't count some of the ports though, and director's cuts (some of which sold over a million), etc.

Link.

I like old and new. 1,2 and 3 all play the same. RE4 took the series to new levels, thus getting MORE people into playing the series which makes it bigger than it already is. You couldn't expect any big changes in RE5. I played the demo and didn't really like it. But, I'm getting the game(Once EB Games gets a shipment:evil: )nonetheless, I love RE and cannot miss this one. You just have to be thankful Capcom hasn't added anything REALLY bad to the games that would totally ruin the series:)

Resident EVIL: she ain't what she used to be.

The 5th one isn't bad at all, but I want the series to return to it's survival-horror orgins.
