is dumb and fun
есть вескер есть джилл есть интересный геймплей есть тупые боевки есть тупое управление энивей часть крутая и интересная ряльна
love it when Wesker and Chris fight Albert and Jill
The game really isn't fun alone, because of how clunky the movement feels and the majini are just people with guns mostly. The bosses are mostly ♥♥♥♥ too. Sheva's AI is so bad she is a primary reason for me hating this game playing this game alone, so i will never touch it again unless its with a friend. Also ♥♥♥♥ QTE's. You may ask why did i then give it a recommendation? Albert Wesker gave me 7 minutes to impregnate me and he succeded. also im not playing the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass dlc's because the last boss in lost in nightmares has an insta kill attack that he spams constantly and unless you are a cat you wont be able to predict what button to press.
The game itself runs well on Windows 11, but it may fail to create save data if OneDrive is backing up or redirecting the Documents folder. I fixed the problem by disabling OneDrive backup for Documents and restoring the folder to the local Windows path. This compatibility issue should really be addressed or at least clearly documented.
ONLY PLAY IF YOU HAVE A 2ND PERSON. SHEVA AI IS TRASH... I WOULD ALMOST TAKE CHATGPT OVER HER SILLY ASS. SHE LIKES TO AXE BODY SPRAY ME MID FIGHT AND THEN RUN AWAY. FANTASTIC! MY ARTHRITIC GRANDMOTHER WOULD DO BETTER THAN HER AND SHE HAS CATARACTS IN BOTH EYES, I'M CONVICED YOU COULD HAND THE KEYBOARD TO A CHIMPANZEE AND THE AIM ACCURACY WOULD BE BETTER THAN SHEVAI. No seriously aside from 5-2 having a weird glitch from the boss the game is enjoyable chaos with a homie.
ridiculous fun, story was almost comprehendible, combat was whacky and buggy, enemies and main villains were always fun to fight. not a tough game at all, just a good action/shooter with aura farmers and good one liners. MUST play with a friend that laughs at stupid stuff. 6/10 game but 10/10 fun with friend
El juego a pesar de los años, es divertido jugarlo entre amigos. Me gusta mucho los juegos de Resident evil y este es muy bueno, si eres nuevo mejor aún!
Niezła, ale sterowanie bardzo się zestarzało. Na padzie gra jest praktycznie niewygrywalna (nie wyobrażam sobie grania w to na konsoli). Na klawiaturze w miarę, ale nadal np. mysz „pływa”, a postać porusza się tragicznie — a to nie RE 1, tylko gra, w której naprawdę czasami mamy do czynienia z wieloma silnymi wrogami. Graficznie nie najgorzej, ale tylko dlatego, że można zainstalować mod usuwający ten zielony filtr. Osobiście przegrałem walkę ze sterowaniem i zainstalowałem cheaty ("darmowe mikro-tranzakcje" ;) — grało się OK, fabuła nawet fajna; przy wypowiedziach obecnych CEO nie wydaje się już taka absurdalna.
After finally finishing Resident Evil 5, I can say that I had a great time with it. It may not be a traditional Resident Evil experience, but it has its own charm and is absolutely worth playing. The biggest issue for me was the controls. The game isn't particularly well optimized for mouse and keyboard, and it took me a few hours to get comfortable with them. Once I got used to the control scheme, though, it stopped being a problem and I was able to fully enjoy the experience. One of the strongest aspects of the game is its story. Following Chris Redfield on his mission to finally put an end to bioterrorism was engaging from start to finish. Also the voice actor of Chris - Roger Craig Smith,particually known as the voice of Kyle Crane in Dying LIght,is remarkable and I really loved his performance in the game. The cutscenes are well made, the enemy lore is interesting, and the cast is memorable. Characters like Chris Redfield, Sheva Alomar, Jill Valentine , Excella Gionne , Albert Wesker, and many others,play their roles well and make the story enjoyable. This isn't your typical Resident Evil game—it's clearly designed with co-op in mind, although it's completely playable solo as well. Having Sheva as your partner is one of the highlights of the game. She isn't just there to follow you around; she has her own personal reasons for joining the fight, and she's a genuinely likable character. Sheva helped me countless times throughout the campaign, saved me in more situations than I can remember, and quickly became one of my favorite female Resident Evil characters. The level design is another pleasant surprise. Every area feels distinct, and considering this game is 17 years old, it looks and plays much better than I expected. My first playthrough took me around 10 hours, but if you're aiming for all the collectibles, upgrades, achievements, and higher difficulties, there's plenty of content to keep you busy. Overall, Resident Evil 5 has its flaws, but it also has a unique identity that makes it stand out in the series. If you're a fan of Resident Evil, I definitely think it's worth experiencing—especially if you have someone to play with.
