Resident Evil 5

[Violent Ken Masters]

Just wondering, why isn't there a thread yet? I got the game the day of the launch and nobody here has said anything. . Anyways, I got the game. It's a great game, but some parts of it makes me feel like it tries too hard. I'm glad they brought back Lickers and Chimera's even if they're annoying, it shows they haven't forgotten the t-virus. As for the plot, I always knew it would end like this. It's just too predictable.

Anyways, I got the game for the ps3, already beat veteran mode, now I need to start working on the mercenaries mode. Also for PShome. Idk how but I unlocked personal space ornaments of Chris, Jill, and Sheva. IDK if there is a Wesker ornament, but I'm guessing if there is, I'd have to beat professional mode, cause I think I got Jill by either getting all 30 emblems, or beating veteran mode.

My cuz got it for the 360.. Really nice gameplay. I love how you can die so quickly by the guys that transform into that thing that'll bite your head off almost... The creatures are kinda ridiculous in this one, though.. Also, the implementation of sneaking in the alligators was really well done. Me and my cuz jumped once it came out of nowhere and bit Chris's head off and took him down in the water... lmao...

The main deck lvl is pretty tough.. especially if you go right through it while barely fighting anyone.. That's definitely a patience lvl... ..

Most of the emblems are way out there, too.. like.. you'd have to have taken the time to look EVERYWHERE to find most of them.... ...

I'll probably play it in a few weeks.. just to see if it's better controls than the others... RE4 controls were weird.. I gave that game up right away.. this one seems to control better, though.. because my cuz said so.. but I'll just have to try it out for myself later... ..

Some pics.. just for fun..

Got the game on launch as well and beat it rather quickly. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I did have some issues with the game.

The game was great until the end I think. I've always loved Jill, but I felt that she was put to one side in this game after you rescue her. She has the personal beef with Wesker, so why did Sheva fire the rocket launcher!! And why give her a ponytail? I much preferred her old hair

The very end fight with Wesker in the volcano was a tad anticlimactic

Wesker was manufactured?!?!?! Takes a lot away from his character, in fact he seemed so corny in this game, I think they showed too much of him and took away that mystery.

If this game is supposed to be the last with these characters and this storyline (Capcom has said that RE6 will start afresh) then why are there so many gaps left in the story? Steve/Sherry are my main two concerns

GUNS!!! Why give the enemies guns? Really took away from the Resident Evil feel I think

Any why only 4 characters for mercenaries? Why not make new models instead of the same characters with different clothes? Although there is a STARS Wesker so it's not a complete loss, but I would liked to have Claire, Barry, STARS Jill, HUNK, Leon, Ada etc all the classic characters back

However t'was a great game, if not a bit short. Gotta love the Jill/Wesker fight and some of the bosses. I didn't have a problem with Sheva, but I much would have preferred a Chris/Jill game to link to RE1.

Gorgeous graphics, lickers, tense gameplay, almost classic type inventory system, however a little too much like RE4, not that it's a bad thing

i didnt make a thread on this cuz i wanted to play through and beat the game first before i see anything on the game or read comments telling everything about the game. i like to be surprised and i was thinking if i did someone might tell everything without putting up a spoiler sign

[Tenspeed]

to hell with RE, I want a Matt Hazard thread!

I think it was a clone of the real wesker

I really want the game, but me and my friend planned to buy it together... He doesn't have the money.

[Gaijin]

me and akeme are going through it together. its so much fun going through it with a partner (in shevas voice). to be honest wow i know someone that looks just like her.  but anyway, so far its the bomb. im the sniper because my aim is superb and hes the shotgun shooting, healing, item grabbing person .

True

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

I can't wait to buy this game.

[Gaijin]

its worth it too. It has an extreme replay value because you can have a "Partner" as my new wife Sheva says. Good thing I know the real life version of Sheva or should I say look alike . Me and Retsu just beat it last night. Awesome game. Lol I'm the dodge master. Theres nothing going right up to a boss shooting and dodging all of his moves.

[ANGELM]

i miss nemesis.

[Vault-tec Rep Høröúßøí]

same here ANGELM 

and also, I need to get merc mode beat... ITS A PAIN TO BEAT WITH A FRIEND, only cause you need twice as much points as you would if you where playing one player

[ANGELM]

I'm digging the graphics though. I'm guessing this is the final resident evil game?

the way it end.... lets just say wesker probaly aint going to show up if they make another, besides that one comin for the Wii

[ANGELM]

before i get back on topic: they should make a game with all the bosses from the other resident evil games.

call it resident evil: mayham

The gun in the pic is so real.

[Gaijin]

now theres an idea . i need to ask a friend about that one. i thought about that one a while back when re: outbreak did that.

[ANGELM]

i was not amazed at outbreak. i got bored at the middle of the game and stopped playing.

[Gaijin]

yea i wasnt all that but it was fun to play though. i liked how they did a lot of things though

[BigJ]

Loving it so far. I play it with my friend whenever we have the chance to play. I maxed out the Skorpion's stats, and almost all of the Ithaca's stats. We're up to chapter 5-2 I believe.

[Gaijin]

i have two maxed out magnums the first one you get and the one you get from maxxin out the first one...in other words i have the strongest weapon in the game . oh and i maxed out my S75 rifle also. im trying to work on getting the gatling

Yeah I gave one to two sheeva and I kept the handcannon. The Gatling Gun is a good weapon, but the problem is it take a few second to start shooting plus it makes you walk slower. My aiming in this game sucks for me I need practice.

[Violent Ken Masters]

I beat the game on pro yesterday and apparently this is how the pshome personal space ornaments work.

Chris - Beat Easy
Sheva - Beat Normal
Jill - Beat Veteran
Wesker - Beat Professional

For the treasure chest ornament, you have to find all treasures, I'm not going to do that.

I used inf ammo on pro, and even so, it was hard as hell. I died like 50 times, and it took me like 100 rockets to kill the final boss, it's probably some insane health glitch. .

Mercs, I've unlocked all characters, I don't care about trophies so there's really nothing to do now.

As for pro mode, I was equipped with the handcannon, the gatlin gun, the psg1, and the rocket launcher. As for Sheva, well because she uses whatever weakest weapon she has, I had her only equipped with a handcannon, she made good use of it too, but she still made mistakes.

The gatlin gun, even though it slows you down. The big metal thing on the back doubles as a shield. During the Jill boss fight she was about to kick me, I turned around and she kicked the metal box, and it made a loud thunk noise. The shield is also great against enemies with assault rifles.

[Gaijin]

hmm ill keep that in mind . i wonder would lickers lick the shield haha. we should try tht together one day

[ATiC3]

... I'm just taking things slow.. going back and getting $$ to upgrade all the weapons that I have AND need... like... the 2 handguns... shotgun, machine gun (the bigger one, for right now... has better firepower than the first....), sniper rifle, & magnum....

I'm at the execution grounds right now... passed that easily, because of how many times I went back & upgraded....

By the way... is there a way to 1-hit or 2 or 3-hit kill the chainsaw dude?? I barely passed the first one.. and I think the 2nd one is coming... like............ wtf... .. he cut my head off a few times and sheva's once the first time around... it's like... wtf... ...

Also, why do most of the things in this game have 1-hit kill melee attacks?? Especially turtle dude (and I know one of Wesker's moves is 1-hit kill...) .... like.. dam... how cheap is that? How come Chris & Sheva can't acquire instant 1-hit kill weapons??

Also, Marshlands is the best place to get $$ ... you only have to go through the first part of the lvl to get loads of money... so... yeah.. pretty easy... I wonder if RE6 will have this kind of system... If there ever will be a RE6............?? ...
