Wait... Seriously? That's your excuse? Positions of lasers aside, they are dodging LASERS.



They're nothing particularly super about Leons backflip, hell he doesn't even land it properly; Chris' is more super then that because of the fact he landed it. And running up the wall like that is very believable actually because they are people out there who can actually do it.

As as for punishment, getting punched hurts ok, in fact, punching people really hurts, especially if you're like Chris and aim for the face, it's why boxers wear gloves. The fact that Wesker AND Jill beat the ever living shit out of out intrepid heroes and they are perfectly fine really should be raising your eyebrow.

As I've stated, had you simply stated you preferred RE4 over RE5 or Mike segment over DE that'd be one thing. The problem arises in you stating DE is 'broken' and 'enemies randomly come out of no where' 'there's no pacing' etc. ALL of which are untrue. Your statements. You say I'm acting like theirs a 'winner' here and that it all comes down to opinion vs opinion. Yes, that is true, it's opinion vs opinion. However, you're the one miscontruing opinion as fact.

Just because it's your OPINION that the game is 'broken/enemies come randomly out of no where/there's no pacing' doesn't make it true when in fact it's not true. Facts outweigh opinions.

It can be your 'opinion' that the world is flat and you're entitled to it, but, if you go on to promote that the world is indeed flat and NOT round, you would be wrong and anyone who stated as much would be justified in doing so, since again Fact outweighs opinion. And if you're going to run around making false claims, you shouldn't be surprised when people step up to counter them.


In any event, as to your comment about 'people like foxy who hate RE4 but love RE5 despite them being practically the same. Makes no sense'.

Really? RE4 and RE5 are practically the same? Oh wait, you're referring 100% to gameplay aspects and implying that is all that matters in the enjoyment of a game. So by your logic, if two competing companies make first person shooters, if someone prefers one but hates the other it makes no sense right?

Could it be the fact RE4 has NO connection to RE in general outside of Leon and Ada that turned some people off from RE4? Could it be the villains were generic and better fit a hollywood movie like a DieHard sequel than an RE game?

The game literally opens with "Umbrella's dead. Moving on" then goes to show the president's daughter kidnapped. Leon, who last time we saw him had stated "Hey! It's up to us to take down Umbrella!" is now a generic US Agent sent to retrieve the president's daughter from a mundane terrorist who wishes to take control of the US government.

Then we have "Long time no see......for the first time ever, Comrade" with them attempting to create a Wesker/Chris rivalry for Leon with Krauser despite never properly building Krauser up to that level. They simply introduce the character and tell the audience "These two are now rivals on the level of Wesker/Chris. Accept it".

Finally, we have Leon who is COMPLETELY unrecognizable from his RE2 counterpart. A lot of people like RE4 Leon's character and think he's badass. But, that's the problem. He is NOTHING like his RE2 counterpart whatsoever. He seems like an entirely new character. And again, he's your generic hollywood action star who laughs in the face of danger and shows no emotion and can do anything and everything. He's not Leon.

The ONLY character to retain their character and even be recognizable to the RE series was Ada, that was it.

And you are confused as to why some people would completely dislike RE4 yet love RE5?

I love RE5 and while I don't 'hate' RE4, I am not fond of it. Gameplay wise RE4 is really fun. But, RE5's gameplay is the same and even better plus has actual connections to RE and 'feels' like RE to me. Thus I'd much rather play RE5 than RE4.

Again, just like my FPS example. Just because it plays the same doesn't mean it 'feels' the same. Storyline, characters, settings, music, etc. all can lead to whether a game involves you or not. Just because two games play the same doesn't mean both are equally enjoyable.

One of the biggest things I like about RE is the storyline and the characters. RE4 threw both of those out of the window and traded them up for a more casual mainstream approach at storyline and characters. And it was off putting to many people. So there really is no reason to be confused or fabbergasted as to why some people would love RE5 but hate RE4.

BTW Leon is much more believable than Jill .....( just kidding and trying to piss off some Jilluminados members - and yeah I'm looking on you V )

Not exactly sure where that argument is coming from.

He lacks even the simplest of basic emotions and believability in his character. Chris may whine or may be boring to many. But, at least he's human. He shows clear emotions whether you like those emotions or not. He doesn't simply walk around seeing a huge monster pop out followed by him scoffing at it and making a snarky comment. Nor does he face death in the face and simply grin and make another snarky comment. Nor does he walk around pretending to be all badass and awesome and capable of doing anything without the slightest of concerns

So whats better, a boring , somewhat whiny, one track mind character who hasn't changed since the beginning or a snide, cocky, show off who laughs at the dangers he is facing?

You forgot to put that the whiny, boring and one track mind character does behave more or less like a human over the other one and can be more or less relatable
