Change of opinion on Resident Evil 4

[Badseed Badseed]

I am a Resident Evil fan since the start, but I gotta be honest I hated RE 4. When I got the limited ed. for my Game Cube and played it I was beside myself, where was all the survival horror zombie stuff? Now it's just a run and gun.
It was a long time ago, but I don't think originally I made it out of the first village. I didn't know that you had to wait till a certain point ( this was way before the internet), so I tried killing everything. And I died over and and over. I said "F**K THIS!!" at least I got the cool chainsaw controller.

Then I recently bought the Resident Evil collection on Steam so I said "They remade RE4, why don't I give it a chance?"
After finishing it, I must say: THAT GAME KICKS ASS!!!! The remake completely blew me away. So I wonder (I think I can already guess)
what your feelings about or experiences with Resident Evil 4 are.

I loved RE4 when it came out even though my Dad grounded me for renting a very violent videogame without his consent.

Played it on Gamecube, PS2 and Wii.
One of my favorite videogames ever.

I loved RE4R when it came out. It's probably the best remake I've played; and I had high expectations. They made it scary, immersive and grounded but also lovable, charming and memorable in the RE way. Capcom are the master of refrying.

Still don't think it needed a remake but Capcom went ahead and did it anyway and I'm happy they did.

The OG RE4 is one of my favorite games ever made, easily in my top 10 at least. I enjoyed RE4R a great deal too, and was pleasantly surprised by it as I felt RE4 didn't really need a remake.

I still prefer the original overall, but both are great games.

RE 4 is a good part of the game series and I like playing as Leon.
