can NOT move while aiming, can NOT dodge jump
(1) You can NOT walk while you are aiming. Your body becomes frozen like a stone statue, the game forces you to sand still. So as an infected is coming towards you, you cannot walk backwards to create some space between you and him.
(2) You can NOT shoot from the waist. You cannot shoot from the waist like in Gears of War or many other popular games. You always have to raise your hands and perform a hard aim. Even when throwing a grenade you also have to do a hard aim. You cannot do a quick throw.
(3) The hero seems to suffer from "shaky hands syndrome". When you aim, his hands shakes so the red laser light skakes up and down. So it becomes very difficult to perform a head shot.
(4) The knife attack is the same, it has NOT been improved. The exact same cheesy knife attack from part 4 has been transferred over to part 5. You swing your arm as if you are trying to swat a mosquito fly. You can NOT grab an infected and brutally hack him to pieces, like you are gutting a pig. You only have your small "weak" knife like from part 4.
(5) You can NOT dodge jump. "Look out someone is about to hit you in your face with a metal pipe"……...in this game you have to take that metal pipe in your face (your face acts as a shield). You cannot jump out of the way of an incoming attack.
As a comparison I recently played another game named Stranglehold. It was made years before RE5, but Stranglehold has much better controls. Why does an older xbox game have better controls than a game that was released in 2009???
