Resident Evil 5 Demo

I played RE5 over the weekend. Graphically it's one of the best games I've seen. But the control system is so stiff and clunky it totally ruins the game for me. Back to GameFly with this one. Pretty disappointing.

How do you like Game Fly? I thinking about asking for that for my b-Day. How much you pay? I think I only need one disk at a time. I need to get Dead Space!

I like it. It's $16/month for one game out at a time.

I'm thinking of getting Dead Space again. I was about half way through.

Ok not bad, how hard is it to get newer games, long waits?

Hello, folks. I'm new here & this is gonna be my very first post here. Let me just start by saying "Hail to the Redskins" & "Cowboys suck!"


Ok, now that that's out of the way (for now), I absolutely LOVED RE5. I know the controls were basically the same as before, but that was part of what I love about it. It separates it from the rest of the games in this category. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay was great, IMO~I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The horror element in this series has shifted a bit. In RE2, my favorite in the series, the horror was not exactly knowing what was coming around the next corner. The Tyrant made it all the scarier when you played the "B" part of the game. When RE4 came out, they changed the horror element to, "you know what's coming, we dare you to stop them." In RE5, that pretty much continued with the added "here's a few dozen more Las Plagas & Euro-Zombies then before...don't run out of ammo. haha" This game was crazy good. Out of a 10 rating, I give it...a 10.

I found the controls to be much worse than RE4. Didn't mind the controls at all for RE4, but for RE5 I just can't get over how bad they are. Totally ruins the game for me.

Really? Huh. I didn't find the controls much different from RE4 & didn't happen to mind them at all. It sucks that you can't run & shoot at the same time, but that's not really all that different from the rest of them. I don't know, maybe I'm just such a fan of the series that their shortcomings simply don't matter to me. All the good things about the game make up for the things they didn't do right...

The controls are the same, but just more stiff. I dunno, just can't explain it. Maybe I've just become so used to playing games like COD4 and those type of controls that I can't get used to RE again.

^ I am pretty sure that if I remeber correctly from the demo you can switch controls. you can choose either traditional RE controls or more first person type control, is this not possible?

I don't know, I'll have to check when I get my 360 back in a month. F'ing red ring of death... again.
