Oops, guess you guys are retards and don't know what people want
Imagine being an RE4 fan
Imagine posting this thread multiple times a day like a stinky nigger
Re5 sold as well as it did because of the success of Re4, moron. People knew it was following the lead of Re4 and wanted more of that experience. Funny how you didn't post the Re3 sales for comparison
>Funny how you didn't post the Re3 sales for comparison
RE2 (1998) shitter slams RE4 and got like 3 million sold around release shithead, why in the fuck would you want numbers from before gaming become mainstream?
How did RE6 sell so well if RE5 was so bad?
Why was a lot of RE6's sales post release if it was so bad? Surely all the bad reviews and word of mouth would have slammed it right?
Oh wait, it didn't it ended up being a game that sold more way passed launch date than almost every other game ever made.
And if sales were a completely accurate measure of quality you be right unfortunately you're a drooling retard and are wrong
RE5 is a good co-op game.
If you play it alone it fucking sucks though.
14 years later and RE4 is still making people asshurt, its legacy just keeps growing
>Monster Hunter World - 12.4M
Holy shit how will Nintendogs ever recover?
Sequels usually get a boost or slump in sales based on how the predecessor was received. FF8 had a huge launch boost off of FF7 while FF9 saw a dip based off of disappointment with FF8.
By the same token, RE5 had a mountain of hype surrounding it because RE4 was so well-respected (even as its GC sales were gutted from the reveal of a port before release). By contrast, RE6 had an ABYSMAL launch and was discounted almost immediately, and at least some of that has to fall on RE5 being as big a letdown as it was.
And 10 years later, RE5 is still making RE4 shitters seethe. Its legacy just keeps growing
>How did RE6 sell so well if RE5 was so bad?
RE6 did sell badly for how much Capcom put into it.
So much so that they've done their hardest to move away from what that game tried to introduce to the series.
And yet, RE6 still sold better than 4. Oops.
(RE4fag cognitive dissonance goes quite deep it seems)
And thankfully made a another game that pissed off RE4 shitters with RE7
They never did, they just say Monster Hunter World sucks and seethe harder than RE4 shitters
woah dude, this is the 3rd day in a row you've made this thread. slow down champ, you will only get the same replies.
higher sales numbers =/= better gameplay
RE6 is fun
Again, at discount. Try to keep up with the class.
It was literally as low as $10 new within three months with some retailers. Sharp discounts motivate curiosity sales, just look at Horizon Zero Dawn.
Strange I can't seem to find RE5 on this list, kinda weird for RE4 to be on their but not 5 right?
>higher sales numbers =/= better gameplay
But RE4fags made it seem like the franchise was dead until BASED RESIDENT GAY 4 SAVED DA DAY - when that's not even remotely true to reality
JUST
Fuck RE4 nigs
What are you on about nig? RE7 was the game I wanted after RE4
No need to lie
Dumbass retard
Op can you pretend to be a retard and record it on that voice site
>Upcoming RE ports on Switch
>RE4 gets a physical cart but not RE5
Explain this one RE5ggots
RE7 has the same tone as RE4 with its embracing merge of silliness and horror, its not like the bland seriousness of RE5, RE6, and even REmake 2.
>its not like the bland seriousness of RE5, RE6, and even REmake 2.
I'm sorry you need marvel quips, but these games are the tone of real Resident Evil (specifically RE5)
The number is actually 13.1M, it's even in the link OP posted, i don't know from where he is pulling the numbers of his post
Maybe if the Resident Evil games were actually any bit scary or had any sort of compelling story I'd be okay with them going for seriousness, but since they don't they just look dumb and bland.
imagine being an actual boomer shilling on Yea Forums
Feels good to be a classichad and watch actioncucks kill each other
Capcom updates the numbers
Should Street Fighter 2 really count considering how many times they essentially released new editions of it as balance patches and roster updates?
In that case RE4 shouldn't count either because its original Gamecube release was almost a flop and it only reached its numbers though countless re-releases with added content
If Capcom made money off SF2 from the rereleases, why not?
How many times was RE4 rereleased compared to Street Fighter 2? Genuinely curious
No.. NO.. NO!
>This kills the RE5ggots
FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!! WHERE'S MY PHYSICAL RE5?!?!??! HACKCOM
This is desperate. Who would buy a bad looking version of RE5 when it works perfectly on PC?
The PS2 version, the Wii version, the PC versions, the PS3/Xbox360 versions, the PS4/Xbox One versions, the Switch version, the dishwasher version
wow, how did the shit stain that is SFV manage to sell 3.7 million units?
My first guess was that it counted AE sales as well, but the ranking clearly separates rereleases from original releases, so i guess that it managed to sell units from people that got it later
Link that OP posted separates between revisions and original releases, it's OP that is adding up the numbers
Also AE wasn’t really a rerelease. It came out as an update alongside a new season of characters that you could buy, but EVERY version of SFV became AE once the update dropped
stop posting this fucking thread holy shit this is like the Vvitch horror movie poster on Yea Forums
why is it impossible to enjoy both games?
watch Yahtzee's review he is a RE4 shitter and he love RE7 because it was just as absurd.
>>>B-B-BUT NOBODY LIKES RE5 AND IT SUXXORS!!!1
This, but unironically.
Sure, RE5 sold a lot, but also entirely on the fame and reputition that 4 build for the franchise, plus journalsm hype. Too bad its just a shallow disjointed shooter that makes no sense with anything it does, and has only co-op as redeeming feature.
RE5 is practically RE4 without the detail, attention to mechanics and tight direction.
I mean even RE6 did a better job at things that RE5 tried.
Especially the co-op partners which are actual characters in 6 with a role in the story, whereas Sheva has literally no role whatsoever and just there for co-op actions.
But yeah I guess people who just wanna pull the trigger and kill the zombies will find enjoyment in RE5. After all, shooting at targets is all it does.
Yahtzee is a retard and so are RE4 fans
Though I love the cope of you guys claiming you like RE7 now
