Why is this game so praised? It's what began turning a genuinely-scary survival horror series into a generic third-person shooter with monsters. Fuck RE4.

RE4 isn't scary but it's probably the best game in the series, if for nothing else since the controls didn't confuse you.

Eat a dick

Only people who hate RE4 are zoomers who generate their opinion from retard youtubers who barely play video games to begin with and taking ironic posts on Yea Forums seriously.

you're telling me that cranky aim mechanic is good? you can't shoot and run at the same time ?

Because it was a very fun, well polished game with fantastic graphics for the time. It's not a hard concept to understand.

Try playing Mercenaries, have a high combo score and you hear a chainsaw and you're out of ammo and tell me it ain't scary.

>genuinely scary
Silent Hill always blew RE out of the water in this aspect. I always thought RE was "cooler" because of the enemy designs, plot, weapons and so on, but it was never scary to me.

Get used to it. The game is perfectly designed and balanced around that control scheme.

True, but you haven't played RE7 have you.

I only played it for a little bit, to be fair. I'm planning to buy the definitive edition thing in the future to fully check it out.

you're joking right ?

>generic
>served as the foundation for third person shooters to this fucking day

I mean the game was perfectly designed around that control scheme. You might not like it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is.
He's a fucking retard that doesn't understand what words mean. This is now officially a Resident Evil appreciation thread.

Did you mean to quote this post?

Max payne isn't over the shoulder though

Gears of War, Uncharted, that shitty WAR IS HELL BASED ON HEART OF DARKNESS game along with just about every tps game out there with context keys, quick time events and a cover mechanic including PUBG.

>All I know is Dead Space 1
Pretty good reason to appreciate re4

I guess mods just didn't like him

Resident Evil was never "genuinely scary" unless you were under the age of 12
RE 4 was good, it just had less emphasis on planning routes around an interconnected map, which is what makes the original games interesting
Luckily it also had less emphasis on fucking terrible puzzles, which was the bane of RE 1

lol good.

No actually RE3 is the start of the whole action horror thing

>it just had less emphasis on planning routes around an interconnected map
That was so disappointing for me. I was expecting a metroidvania style map before playing the game because it's RE. I thought that a connected map would be perfect for a game with such gameplay mechanics and tech but meh, anyway at least the village was somewhat like that.

>It's what began turning a genuinely-scary survival horror series-
I'm going to stop you there.
1. RE wasn't "genuinely scary". Matter of fact, RE4 has atmospheric moments that rival the worst of the original RE games.
2. RE4 wasn't the first to go for a more action oriented experience, 3 was, you fake classicfag

My favorite in the series is still RE3 just because of childhood memories, but RE4 is undeniably good.

Killing (((innocent))) spanish "people" gets an A in my books

detras de ti, imbecil

Because people dont know any better.

cojedlo, cojedlo, cojedlo...

From a gameplay perspective it's great but when it comes to the atmosphere, plot and all that shit, completely ruined.

>genuinely-scary
It moved on to making genuinely tense survival horror and it worked just fine, at least for this game. Its a different kind or horror. You can't be mad something good eventually led to something bad later on, it's its own thing.

Regardless of the hate and change it caused, this will be on next gen consoles again and again and again after that. As it's been posted itt, the game revolutionized the action genre.

>Atmosphere
Nah, like I said earlier ITT, RE4 doesn't have consistently great atmosphere, but when it nails it, it fucking nails it.

The best thing about both RE4 and RE5
