Iirc you’ve beaten other from games so you’ve got it in you. Sometimes a break isn’t a bad idea. I feel like I personally didn’t learn how to play the game properly until I was forced to by the final boss. You have to unlearn so many habits from soulsborne games. But yea stay aggressive and as a wise man taught me, “hesitation is defeat.”

There have been so many bosses in From games that I tried for hours to beat and then after taking a little break I was able to beat them on my first try

It's like when I keep trying and trying I start to make the same mistakes every time

Look what came in

 

[reconic supreme]

The Red 9 remains GOATed.

However… they did the Punisher handgun justice. It’s one of the best pistols in the game now.

Ada’s new voice actor in 4make is bad…

Went ahead and picked up Dead Space Pre-Owned.

RE5 remake too or nah?
Y'all recall the uproar over certain depictions?

I never played five. I remember a lot of negativity about the game. I do recall the ethnic controversy. But the actual game had that co-opt gameplay and more shooter like gameplay. I think six continued this theme.

Capcom should definitely do nine next. But have Code Veronica, Five and Six on the road map. It prints money and easier development than coming up with an original IP.

It would be dope if they also brought back Mega Man Legend.

All over nothing imo. Game was dope though, punching boulders n all.

 

[slaughterx]

RE5 was dope... had the most fun playing it co op. 6 was pure trash tho, worst game in the series followed by 3.

 

[Ricky D]

What was so controversial about RE5? I played it around release but didn't really follow news in gaming like that.

 

[T0INE]

What was so controversial about RE5? I played it around release but didn't really follow news in gaming like that.

I memba the main gripe being that it was more action oriented and not survival horror enough.

The series was already leaning more that way with RE4 then it just doubled down on that some more until things went all the way left with RE6.

There were also complaints about Sheva and her dumb AI if you play the co-op with an actual person.

 

[rbk93]

RE5 is the only one I completed in the series via co-op. Great game.

 

[Ricky D]

Y’all go and redeem Stormblood for free while you can. Your getting a few a LOT of content between A Realm Reborn, Heavensward and Stormblood.

 

[Fozz]

Started playing RE4 over the weekend and I'm enjoying it. Died plenty of times at the first village and then started getting used to it again lol.

I am firmly in the "the game's story was ********" camp now

Ken Levine and his libertarian mush brain couldn't help himself both sidesing structural racism

The fact 2K threw hundreds of devs and millions of dollars to save the game made it a respectable shooter gameplay-wise. Even though it didn't live up to the hype

 

[RustyShackleford]

The only way Capcom remakes Resident Evil 5 is if they change the game a lot

A lot of people thought it was racist in 2009. A lot more will think that in 2023

Capcom would be idiots to think they can remake the game as it was

 

[Ricky D]

Racist because the game was in Africa and some (maybe all) of the zombies were black? I swear I don’t remember the controversy but then again, I don’t think I knew anybody IRL who played RE5

That boulder punching…….would you take it out the remake or keep it in since it’s so very well known/laughed at?

RE5 was the weakest RE to that point.

Now RE6 is pure trash.

Sometimes it's just racist...

One of the first things you see in the game, seconds after taking control of Chris Redfield, is a gang of African men brutally beating something in a sack. Animal or human, it's never revealed, but these are not infected Majini. There are no red bloodshot eyes. These are ordinary Africans, who stop and stare at you menacingly as you approach. Since the Majini are not undead corpses, and are capable of driving vehicles, handling weapons and even using guns, it makes the line between the infected monsters and African civilians uncomfortably vague. Where Africans are concerned, the game seems to be suggesting, bloodthirsty savagery just comes with the territory.

Later on, there's a cut-scene of a white blonde woman being dragged off, screaming, by black men. When you attempt to rescue her, she's been turned and must be killed. If this has any relevance to the story it's not apparent in the first three chapters, and it plays so blatantly into the old clichés of the dangerous "dark continent" and the primitive lust of its inhabitants that you'd swear the game was written in the 1920s. That Sheva neatly fits the approved Hollywood model of the light-skinned black heroine, and talks more like Lara Croft than her thickly-accented foes, merely compounds the problem rather than easing it. There are even more outrageous and outdated images to be found later in the game, stuff that I was honestly surprised to see in 2009, but Capcom has specifically asked that details of these scenes remain under wraps for now, whether for these reasons we don't know.

There will be plenty of people who refuse to see anything untoward in this material. "It wasn't racist when the enemies were Spanish in Resident Evil 4," goes the argument, but then the Spanish don't have the baggage of being stereotyped as subhuman animals for the past two hundred years. It's perfectly possible to use Africa as the setting for a powerful and troubling horror story, but when you're applying the concept of people being turned into savage monsters onto an actual ethnic group that has long been misrepresented as savage monsters, it's hard to see how elements of race weren't going to be a factor.

All it will take is for one mainstream media outlet to show the heroic Chris Redfield stamping on the face of a black woman, splattering her skull, and the controversy over Manhunt 2 will seem quaint by comparison.

It went beyond just the setting

 

[Ricky D]

Admittedly I don’t analyze games like that when I play them. I actually had just read that IGN particle you posted after I made my last post. I can see why some folks were upset for sure.

I remember the controversy. I listened to multiple video game podcasts around the time and perused Neogaf (prior to the controversy with the site owner).

Capcom followed one of the greatest video games of all time with this dubious entry into the series. It’s like they were trying to attract the Gears of Wars fans and thought the idea of setting the zombie story in Africa (after Europe) would all be a recipe for success.
