Resident Evil 5 - I Take It All Back

Hello People

Not In Thursday's Lecture, I said that I was not going to buy Resident Evil 5 and said how bad the demo was. But I won some money and ended up buying it after saw a video of Chris and Wesker fighting each other, so was hooked there and then.

I do take it all back though, the demo was bad but the game is so much better and the team based game mechanics work very well, even if they are a bit wooden and glitchy.

So I think I have learned a lesson in all this which is don't judge a game on the demo that is released (before or after the game has been released)

See you all soon

  3. I have now played the demo and all I can say is that i wouldn't have bought it off the back of the demo... I love zombie games/films but i hate team based games where i have to look after a piece of AI that doesn't have enough skill to stay alive (and i shouldn't have to look after it if i want a piece of AI to look after i'll buy a tamagotchi)

    I thought that this was a major sticking point for me with RE4 and the demo for 5 suggests more of the same (I hope i'm wrong). I think it looks stunning but fails for me in the "gameplay". I just don't really like team based game mechanics, it's a personal thing rather than a fault of the game i think... Although I don't seem to die, my team mate does leading to a game over which doesn't realy seem fair to me.

  4. i too have played the demo and in my opinion it was very poor which was annoying..

    but alan if you are right and the actual game is farrr better then the demo which in my view is far too slow then i might be tempted to get it lol
