Resident Evil 5

My beautiful kitten wesker.. you sweet succulent piece of art. you will live on in my heart forever

After playing: RE4, RE4R, RE5 (this one), some of RE6, RE7/8/9, RER2 and some of RER1 i can safely say this is quite literally the most irritating, least enjoyable and most meh resident evil ever. the story isn't even the bad part. it does great at introducing newcomer and one-off partner Sheva Alomar as she accompanies Chris to find his missing partner, Jill Valentine and solving the mystery of the new Uroburos virus as the game plays out and also fleshes out her character and the narrative isn't the worst thing ever, but Jesus Christ, the gameplay ruins any amount of a good story that this game provides. Sheva/Chris depending on if you're on your second playthrough and opting to play as Sheva are programmed to genuinely just be the dumbest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that you will ever have to tolerate in your entire life, whether it's using healing items when you flat-out do not need them, randomly shooting at you or shooting at you in an attempt to shoot an enemy who might be just barely in front of you or take valuable resources that you, the player can use and nine times out of ten will utilize better than the bot. Then, the aiming shares the same from RE4's clunky aiming which, albeit, was tolerable and didn't stop me from finishing the game in that regard, it feels substantially worse and clunkier here which is absolutely beyond me. Then, the enemies can be either obnoxious beyond belief or dramatically underwhelming and there somehow is no in-between. You will either be genuinely having a panic attack with your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clenching because an enemy has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you up so royally that you're quite literally on the brink of a death both in-game and in reality or you're just going to be fighting the urge to fall asleep because the enemies just doing a whole lot of nothing, the latter being more of an observation rather than a complaint. Then, the bosses. I will give them props there. Irving's boss fight caught me off-guard, didn't drag on to a needless degree or hit me on some excessive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I'm glad it didn't because that probably would've gotten a smooth and swift "I'm done" from me as I leave this game and you NEVER see my face again, but so far (as of chapter 4-2), the bosses have been legitimately well-done, been fairly intimidating and actually kept me on my toes and haven't cheapshotted me to a point where they're the reason that I want to stop playing this game or rip out my urethra. The graphics really aren't anything to write home about, but then the last thing they are is bad. Sheva and Chris and almost every other character in the game looks great and have stunning models, even for 2009's standards and the environments, especially the water are fairly impressive and something that, if I'd seen while playing this game at launch, I'd have definitely been like "Ooh, damn, way to go, Capcom" so I'm not going to ♥♥♥♥ on it in that regard because the graphics do look good and they aren't really a complaint to be had. The online functionality is just so ass though. I played online once with a friend and it was okay at best and trying to play with randoms has been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ obnoxious because I can get soft-locked in the item box by them just not doing ♥♥♥♥ and forcing me to sit there unless I ready or, like I did last time, Alt + F4'd. Then, it can feel unjustifiably laggy at times, especially in scenarios where it just flat-out isn't or shouldn't be and it's overall disappointing that one of the core aspects of this RE is just so mediocre. Overall, Resident Evil 5 has a good story and has decent graphics and some designs for its age, but the horrible online functionality, the poorly done gameplay and aiming and bad level design can make the game just so boring and unentertaining to play for more than fifteen minutes at a time.

when the residents are evil 5!

整个系列被严重低估和误解的作品，在生化4的基础上进一步加强完善战斗系统，真正把体术和武器结合的最好的一部，而不是只会靠恶心的投技判定和一堆难受的负反馈设计来恶心玩家，体术的视觉张力和枪械的射击反馈也做的极其优秀，不会出现射击手感软趴趴或者体术毫无力道的情况；虽被大多数人认为5代是系列保守之作，诚然部分人说的5代是4代pro版有一定道理，5代本体的关卡设计水平也的确是不如4代，每一关都转向街机风格的闯关类，但是出色的战斗系统大幅弥补了关卡设计上的不足，也是系列正传首次引入联机要素，很多人也会说ai队友操作蠢的问题，但本质也是个适应期问题，你理解ai的行动逻辑和灵活运用attack和cover的模式就不用特别考虑ai的问题了，好比让现在的人去玩老生4也是要熟悉站桩和左摇杆射击这些操作；而且除了游戏本体游戏还有两个极其优秀的DLC和佣兵模式，两个DLC节奏紧凑，迷失噩梦战斗偏少解谜较多，氛围和初见mini版处刑者周旋的紧张感都做的很不错，大逃亡主要就是战斗，一开始玩的时候觉得玩起来特别难受，后面操作顺手之后就理解这个dlc的优秀的点，大逃亡的流程有一种步步为营的感觉，玩家在前往目的地的时候一步步杀敌前进的循环和老生4的节奏感十分相似，这也是这个dlc出色的地方，还有就是两个dlc都有三种不同情况的开局，切换不同的场景同样有三个不同的情况，捡到的装备，关键道具的位置都会不一样，进一步提高了dlc的耐玩性和新鲜感，本作的佣兵也十分优秀，地图多人物多还可以双人，后面黄金版更新的佣兵重聚也带来了更多的人物，还有一个很少人提的对战模式，所以论体量5代也是一点也不小的，单人玩和双人玩有两种不同的游玩体验但是一个是玩的舒服一个是玩的更舒服，足够的耐玩和保持新鲜感；生5就是一部初印象看着比较朴素或者说普普通通的游戏，他没有那么多人无脑吹起来的“神作”的包袱，甚至在社区里一直都算是不怎么被认可的作品，但在我这生5是一个基本功极度扎实也很保守的作品，他没有为了所谓真实感而让玩家失去游戏体验甚至恶心玩家的操作，也没有为了过分追求动作射击 大片质感 电影化体验搞一堆脑残至极的QTE或者神人跑酷视角甚至彻底抛弃系列生存恐怖 资源管理的魅力，有的时候保守也是一种正确的选择
