>betrays survival horror fans by turning into mindless action for normiesIt's shit.
SHUT THE FUCK UP FAT MAN
>>730738016True. But its good action slop.
>>730738016>for normiesRE2 sold four times as many copies on PSX alone, dumb normalfag.
>>730738016That's RE2 you're describing.
>>730738016>I'm a fagthanks for letting us know?
shooting niggas in the leg and suplexing them > running past niggas to save ammo
Am I insane or was RE4 not that well received by series fans back when it came out? I swear faggots like crowbcat shitting on the remake while pretending like the original was the best game ever are being revisionist, the same kind of faggots who cried over the remake also cried over RE4 turning the series into action slop
>>730738917>series fansRE was a completely dead series when 4 came out. Maybe there was one forum of asshurt spergs, but for actual humans it was irrelevant.
>>730738917There was a vocal minority complaining about the new direction but for the most part RE4 was immediately recognized as one of the best games of the generation.
>>730738467Truth nuke.The first resident evil game was an actual survival-horror game, especially if you play as Chris.RE2 on the other hand, has worse survival-horror elements because of the sheer amount of ammo the game gives you, you can get the shotgun at the start of the game AND the more linear design of the RPD.
>>730738016Betrays the greatest survival horror game to become the greatest third person action game of all timeYeah, it's a fucking masterpiece. Also I enjoy going back to Re4 more than RE3.
>>730738917I doubt anybody in /v/ is old enough to even remember dude. But I remember being like 12 when it came out and everybody and EBgames was saying it's literally the game of year and you have to buy a gamecube just to play this fucking game.I remember the chainsaw controller too they had on display that made the game impossible to play
>>730739035how does the relevance of a game make it better?you normalfags need to be sent to reeducation camps
>>730739276The question asked was "how did fans react?" the answer is: there were no fans. It reinvented the series and saved it.
>>730738016It's okay, a mid tier RE.
>>730738917people loved 4 because CV was so bad it almost killed the series.
>>730738016RE4 is like Phantom Menace of Star Wars
These threads are proof that you fags will bitch about ANYTHING
>>730739548I think every developer dreams of such a mid-tier
>>730738016>mindless actionstrategic action*. if you don't have your wits about you the game can dispose of you fairly easily, at least until you buy all your special weapon upgrades.
>>730739220I was 16 when RE4 came out and it had full page spreads in every vidya magazine, top scores from every magazine, forums were going nuts over it. It was literally an instant classic. I guess some youtuber probably said something about muh fan backlash and zoomers started treating it as gospel
>>730738016Look you classic-fags got an enshittified version of RE4 with the remake that has garbage combat like your games do, aren't you happy yet?
>>730738016Stop posting this shitty contrarian thread you shameless faggot
>>730738016weird image of RE2
>>730738917no one cares about "series fans". re4 was a massive hit everyone loved it.
