Message: [QUOTE="Sumea, post: 224636, member: 569"] I disagree. To me this was RE5 and RE6 changed things to be overall worse. It still plays more the same than not but I really, really did not feel RE6 and had hard time trying to be as proficient playing it than I am with RE5, and thanks to all the RE5, in RE4. For me, the answer is RE5. It is not these days as hated but since it's first PC release in 2009, if there is anyone around who is willing to play the game I will be there. Played way too much yet way too little of RE5 and I just can set aside anything and spend evening or three playing the game one more time with same or different friend than last time. To me it was a sidegrade to Left 4 Dead in some ways, as having fun in L4D was harder with just one friend as you would have either bots or randoms messing the dynamic while 5 can be played with just one friend and gives a longer campaign. I can understand why some like RE6 too but I personally never felt it the same, it has huge pacing issues to me, levels drag way too long without a "save point". The thing I remember about RE5 is that it is sliced nice and neat to 10-20 minute gameplay chapters that is easy to go "Alright, I wanted to go to sleep so we can end here" while my most prominent memory about RE6 was a 55 minute chapter that went on and on and on and on. "OK, cutscene and fade to black let's go I want to-" RUNNING QUICKTME EVENT. "OK and now it is en-" MORE GAMEPLAY. "OK, now it is ov-" BOSS FIGHT. This alone to this day makes me shudder over idea of playing RE6. Aside there being so much of the game that can be a good thing, the chapters are not sliced as neatly as in RE4 or RE5 which it as a multiplayer focused game should definitely have done. Going back to RE5. For me, yeah it is not an horror game, but it has good horror elements, I would call it "action thriller" type of video game. "Aliens" of video games or whatever like that. But also, to me, even if it is "more limited" 5 Controls the best, has a very unique setting, and even if people would like to point out it as racist and the explanations are pretty lol worthy, the variety between enemies is nice thanks to variety of a slice of Africa being depicted. I also personally do not think the game is very racist, misguided in some places and goes into using some stereotypes, especially tribal ones and mixing Mayas with African tribals, but over all to me RE5 is one thing in my mind that reminds me how rest of the world treats Africa when we are not thinking about it. It is very exploited place even today. For RE plot, a medical company setting up inhumane experiments as guise of aid exploiting disadvantaged people, indifferent to lives killed is a harrowing plot point. [/QUOTE]
