RE 5 RELEASE

CloseI bought my copy this morning, New Zealand(Where I live) is like 18 hours ahead of USA & this game had a worldwide release I think. Resident Evil 5 is fucken awesome plain & simple. Only playing it on normal right now but this game is delivering for me right now.
Voice acting & facial animation is amazing along with the lighting, textures, this games graphics are up their with Gears of War, Killzone, etc. The level design is very well done and the pacing is excellent. Not that far in yet but the story so far has done it's job.
Taking a break from it for now but can't wait to get back to it.

YAY! finally beat this today. Took the day off work and played it non stop for hours. Graphics, bosses everything about this game was great.
I am now getting ready to play it in the hardest difficulty and probably get my ass kicked.

It's supposed to be a survival horror, there's nothing scary about this game unless your afraid of black people then it's perfect. I think that's what's missing WIP.

It's missing good AI.
Partner AI or Enemy AI?
"Fear you can't forget"... pssh, yeah right!
author=Neophyte link=topic=3326.msg66714#msg66714 date=1237150178I think the AI can be forgiven if it had some actual horror elements put in since I assume this game has the title "Resident Evil" on it. Seriously if it didn't have RE and Chris, Jill, Wesker then this game could be passed off as a whole different game. But you come expect a certain aspect with RE and this game just doesn't have it.

I thought the battle with Oroboros where you had to hit it with a flamethrower, and then shoot it's exuded heart was terrifying.
AND THE FRIGGING TONGUE THINGS!
Other than that it wasn't scary at all.

But I never played RE4.
Well your partner in RE4 doesn't really do anything on her own accord. If attacked, she'll just cower there until you save her or she gets carried off.
The enemy AI is pretty predictable though. One trick I always like doing is to run up to them until they bring their weapons back to swing at you, backpedal a bit so that they whiff, then run past while they're in their post-swing recovery phase.
Seriously, every generic human enemy re-acts this way to getting run'ned towards. It's funny to watch and show off.

A few hours in and I can tell it isn't as well built as RE4. It feels like it is missing something.
I'm finding this too. I'm can't tell what it is though. Nonetheless, the game is still awesome, plainly simple.
The AI is solid, 'bout the same as RE4 to me. Although, if you're pointing your gun at them for too long, they seem to attempt a dodge sooner than the enemies in RE4.
I also, at first, didn't like the game because of the control setup, but then I changed it to match RE4's controls and everything was fine.

author=Neok link=topic=3326.msg66730#msg66730 date=1237161797That is the issue I have with the game. Honestly, I don't mind the controls or the not moving while shooting. I do have an issue with the enemies, because they ALL act the same exact way. Some do more damage than others or have projectiles, but they all follow some weird timing rule. I guess this is to compensate for the controls, but they still could have done something a little different at times. The partner AI is obviously bad, this game is meant for co-op. Sheva (and Chris) will do some stupid things. They will sometimes be on the other side of the map while you are in the dying condition and just never come in time. That, and they will refuse to heal you at times. Playing Co-op is much better.

The game is still great, and Mercenaries is really fun too. I think the earlier bosses were better than the later ones, though. I was especially disappointed with the last boss.
And I quote
Like, I can't kill this fucking <hide> Gatling Gun</hide> boss without using like 4 First Aid Sprays because she is incapable of taking cover. In all honesty I would much rather fight this thing alone; she's just a drain on resources. She'll get shot, and then try to heal herself WHILE STILL BEING SHOT. Or worse yet, she'll see that I'm shot (but in cover) and she'll stand in the wide open while healing me, and then get the crap shot out of her. I honestly believe the enemy heal script is "if one person is dying, run up and use heal." Nothing about whether the person is being shot, nothing about whether there are enemies, just run up to the partner and use a heal. Also during this fight, I watched her take 5 rounds in the back because she ran out to grab some rifle ammo (she already had 20 shots in her inventory, so she didn't even need it).
Oh, and she frequently stands right behind me so when I try and back up from an attack, she's blocking me off. Brilliant motherfucking plan.
Also, she apparently doesn't check anything before shooting the enemy, making her a total ammo hog. If the enemy is wearing armor, so she will just shoot an entire round just to watch the spark effect as the bullets do no damage. She also doesn't check whether or not the enemy can actually hit her. If the enemy is on the ground, you think she would run up and use her knife-through-the-heart special him, right? Or at least notice me running up to Stomp him? No, she shoots him 10 times. At one point, after I had dropped a gate between us and a horde of approaching zombies, she still shot them, even though they were helplessly trapped behind the gate.
This shit's a joke; I think the AI in Goldeneye was better than this. I wish they at least made her optional in Single Player, and saved me the trouble of babying her through the level.

Yeah Sheva pissed me off in this game, the fact that if your partner dies it's gameover.
Yeah i enjoyed the bosses in this game. The boss where you had to fight the troll was epic in the 3rd chapter. And the cutscenes were great too.

My housemate's halfway through and one of my best friends finished it last night. Might borrow it off my mate or play my housemate's copy when he goes to work.
I'm not finding the partner AI "too" bad. Yeah, she will ignorantly waste alot of ammo, but that really doesn't matter; I usually can keep them at bay myself, especially with my awesome shotgun. Plus, I tend to use the crap out of my rifle, even when the enemy is somewhat close (cause the rifle is usually a 1-hit-kill.)
Plus, I never really cared when she ran out of ammo anyway, there was never a time I was like "crap she's out of ammo and now we're bound to die soon"...because, well...mainly I never did get a game over if she ran out of ammo. I was always able to subdue the Majini, continue on, and eventually find more ammo for her anyway. I've no complaints about the AI.
I beat this this past Sunday. I didn't like Chapter 6, where you are...
And I'm really disappointed with...
That was FUCKING RETARDED because it's too typical of villains to do, and that I completely didn't expect HIM to want that.
Probably the only thing I liked about the final boss fight was...
All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with the game. My biggest complaint is that it's alot shorter than RE4.

...on a boat, I just didn't like that the location was a boat
And I'm really disappointed with...
...Wesker, mainly because of his stupid "I'm going to destroy the world" ambition.
Probably the only thing I liked about the final boss fight was...
...how Sheva had the cut the crap out of him to kill him. Me, and my roommate who was playing Sheva, laughed like crazy. We made a black joke about cutting people It was pretty much the funniest thing near the end of the game.

Also, Wesker's dead. What the hell? Who's going to be the antagonist of the series now?! He's been the antagonist since RESIDENT EVIL 1 for christ sake!.
Awwww... I wish I had the system for it, I'll have gotten it myself as well, on reserve of course. I seen a few videos/trailers in youtube, it looks awesome. Have fun!!!

Think 2-player is much more fun than single. It's inadvertently Army of Two done right with zombies (well, not technically, but they'll always be zombies to me).

He wasn't trying to destroy the world but save it in his own twisted way. He actually thought releasing the Ouroboros or fuck whatever it's called worldwide would create a perfect elite group of people(Like him I guess)while wiping the non worthy in the end result thus having a perfect(In his eyes) world.. Or some shit like that.

I'm so tempted to open those spoilers.
Fucking sucks that the shipment was late... the game "should" be here tomorrow...
I don't think i can survive another night without having this game, but I will try!
