Replaying Resident Evil 4 and am now realizing it is an anomaly within videogame history...

>When a retard says "based retard"

Actual based retard

You have no idea what "saving" meant do you? There were a shitload of bad RE spin-offs that weren't close to the quality of the original, RE 4 was a breath of fresh air. I only liked RE5 because of based Wesker, everything else was just too eh. It was as ridiculous but not self aware like 4

seething retard

don't care what anyone says, but revisiting this made me realize how not good it was. For it's time it was game changing, but it really doesn't hold up like the original REs.

Check your link. The status you posted are incorrect

It only starts sucking after you beat Salazar

Resident Evil 5 is listed three times

>7.5 million units
>2.3 million units
>1.4 million units

Now I shouldn't have to do the math for you, goober.

Mate, most hardcore RE fans agree with you.

It holds up fine. Gameplay is smooth, weapon variety and upgrading is fun, treasure system is good, etc. You do realize how linear it is after a few play throughs but it holds up better than any of the other games that came before itx except maybe REmake

Everything past the village is absolute horseshit at worst and below average at best, it's absolutely not one of the greatest games of all time, just because it's influential doesn't mean it's untouchable.

I'm replaying it now and I'm remembering how much I fucking hate the house defense section in 2-2. Probably my least favorite part of the game.

>but it holds up better than any of the other games that came before it

IMO, no. It's one of the few RE games I can't go back and reply. Its just too clunky

The island is all filler save the krauser fight. Game should have immediately gone from your rescue chopper crashing to finding and saving ashley for the last time, but instead it puts like five more enemy filled areas and "press the heavily guarded buttons to unlock the door" minigames in your way. Regenerators and flaming oven guy were great though

I was really late to the RE party. RE4 was my second RE game after the remake. RE4 is fucking amazing though, Despite having low tier graphics, the atmosphere is probably the most amazing out of any game i've played. When it started getting to be night time and stormy, my jaw almost dropped at how amazing it looked.
I've never used tank controls before this game and honestly I like them a bit. They're clunky, but at the same time they feel super good once you get used to them. It was way campier than REmake and I love it for that.

Gameplay flow is almost nothing like the originals, it's far more linear and arcade-like. A natural progression from where 3 was heading, yes, but still a good leap away from the resource management and sense of exploration of old RE.

It wasn't that bad user. Remember the two El Gigantes in the lava room or the tower elevator segments?

dude RE 4 was a good game but the company wasn't financially nor creatively bankrupt at the time. you're glorifying it too much

he said save the franchise, which is true. capcom considered REmake a flop, and zero worse and re4 reinvigorated it enormously.

i prefer 5

>RE5 blowing the fuck out of s - o - y boy RE4 fagboys

No RE5, RE6, RE7 or RE2 (2019) without RE4

village is the worst part you trog

i'd say the island is worse.

The island has it's moments, but after you fight U3 it pretty much loses its survival horror vibe

>It saved Resident Evil from fading into obscurity

People say this, but RE4 sold like fucking shit, no one seems to remember this.

Not him user, but This is a retarded statement, there is also no RE4 without RE2

Lol I was gonna say the same thing - god RE4 fans are such brainlets (or as I like to call them, niggers)

Yes but that STILL didn't sell as much as RE2 on JUST the PS1 alone and it took the sales of both GC and LATER PS2 to just scrape RE3 numbers (again only PS1 RE3). RE4 was not some huge hit that everyone played at launch like Yea Forums retroactively pretends, and i was there with my day 1 copy of RE4 on CG.

This, RE4 was a """good""" action game if you happened to have played it at the time

It didn't change hearts or minds or revitalize the series - it didn't even help to save the Gamecube which was still outsold by the Xbox

So RE4's legacy is that it's a bad action game that left a series in drift mode, and no, Demake 2 didn't fix anything - it's just RE4 but worse.

Judging the quality of the game by numbers of unit units sold. Wrong logic Mr shekelberg.

It traded off atmosphere for tension.
The new camera angle puts you at the front of the action but also it just lets you see just enough to keep you on your toes.

Currently replaying the Suffering games. I'm playing the first one at the moment and I'm at the part where you have to turn the light on in the lighthouse. I've taken the Evil Route this time around and so I killed Ernesto who would have helped me. I'm incredibly close and at the end of the game. Then I'd like to do it over and take the Good Route. Then I'll jump into the sequel: Ties that Bind. I always loved those games. Since I have two working PS2's I figured why not

>most
nope

Based action horror taste
