I'm playing the PC version of this game for the first time in years and it feels exactly as shitty as it did the last time. Is it just me? I'm using the RE4 control scheme and it feels nothing like re4. The aiming just feels so inaccurate and less snappy compared to re4. Is it a configuration problem? Is it the port or framerate? Should I play it on console instead? Co-op notwithstanding the game feels like an epic mountain of piss and I've no idea why contrarians enjoy it.
>>737302814there is a mod that adds the RE4 style laser aiming
>>737302814it's pretty much 1:1 with re4 with only improvements.
>>737303298Nta but it lacks the charm of RE4.
>>737303578charm doesnt have anything to do with controls though
>>737303641Without charm, there's just no reason for me to replay it. I always end up going back to RE4, whereas not so much with RE5.
It's garbage wait 'till the fucking game tells you to press F+V to dodge a fucking attack do yourself a favor and rebind (F+V) to (Q + E) and run to W+W so you dont need to hold shift like a retard the entire time what a fucking shit game. Kill yourself Capcom.
>>737302814Check if you can mod it for performance, and preferably play it at 60fps, QTEs are tied to the framerate and can give you way less time to react, this is very evident in the Lost in Shadows DLC where anything higher makes Wesker's instakill attack unavoidable.And please do yourself a favor and play with a controller or you'll have the issue this anon >>737305157 mentions, the QTE commands on KB+M are very inconveniently mapped and it's obvious that the game wasn't designed, let alone ported, with KB+M in mind.
if Im not mistaken in the console port you only have 1 set of keybinds for qtes so you just spam it why the fuck did they give 2 sets of keybinds on pc it's insane die capcom kill japan.
>>737304449Gameplaywise it's a lot better than re4, it could use some puzzles to break up the pace a bit and more interesting setpieces though
>>737306129It could also use a merchant. Buying things from an in-game store is soulless as fuck.
>>737302814Why are you playing this shit when remake is in development?
>>737306575kill yourself remakeslopper
>>737302814>>737303038You can turn on the laser aiming for the PC ver because they've updated it.It's in the opinions menu.Still no weapon switching between partners...
>>737303038>>737303298>>737303641>>737303641I'm playing with an Xbox one controller. Felt much better in re4. Like I don't know what the fuck I'm doing wrong? If it's supposed to be like RE4 then I'm not getting that feeling. I'll buy it on another and play on easy difficulty to see what this shit is about. I still can technically play the game (i killed the bat creature boss) but it feels like I have to fight against the controls to beat it. I just want to play another re4 style action horror game with tank controls man.
>>737307460Neither re4 nor 5 have tank controls, thoubeitever
>>737307460It's just the game in general. The gameplay is supposed to be improved from RE4, with how you can chain melee attacks with your partner and how you can swap weapons based on where they're stored in your inventory, but it just feels off, and I think it's because the weapons simply feel crappier than in RE4. You can see how everyone talks fondly about the RE4 weapons, how almost all of them had their uses and how unlocking new ones felt like an achievement, but in RE5 you pretty much have no clue if a weapon feels better than the ones you got at the beginning, and it doesn't help that the shop and upgrade system is utter trash compared to the merchant, not only money is now very scarce, but you really have to commit to upgrade only a handful of weapons because selling them gives you jackshit in return, so it completely goes against allowing the player to experiment with the new toys they get through the game.That's my complaint about 5, it feels "off", it wants to be 4 but it just fails in almost every regard.
>>737307537Retard. RE4 has tank controls, and you can choose between control methods in RE5. Just because the camera angle is over the shoulder doesn't change the fact that you move using tank controls.
>>7373081725 was made with repeat with repeated playthroughs in mind, it's not one and done like 4, you're supposed to replay missions with your friends
>>737308591That was a mistake, shittiest fucking decision ever, grinding in an RE game is faggotry garbage.
>>737309109You're not grinding, you're enjoying the game, nobody expected you to autistically max everything in one evening because you need that achievement or something
>>737308172The aiming is worse than RE4 on both mouse and controller. Action RE could've been good if it just stuck to the RE4 formula for a few more games (and maybe we wouldn't have outlast clones and demake slop)
>>737309261>You're not grinding, you're enjoying the gameWell, they failed at that because I didn't enjoy it at all and I wouldn't play the game again. I will at least agree that it might be "fun with friends", but then that's another issue with how RE5 was developed, they turned a series that had been almost entirely single player focused (except for Outbreak which are side games) and decided to give the player a forced CPU partner that you had to babysit through the entire game, and you can see how this design choice was completely abandoned once 6 became the black sheep of the franchise.
>>737302814It's legitimately fucking horrible. The inventory system is also possibly the single shittiest thing I've ever experienced in a game.
>>737309610You don't babysit sheva, the ai partner is good enough to beat professional with. You need to git gud.
>>737309804Can I beat RE5 on Professional with the CPU partner? I sure can. Would I want to go through the torture of playing through Professional with the CPU partner when a sneeze will instantly down her with less than 2 seconds for me to revive her before she dies? Hell no.
>>737310151Just give her the Magnum with infinite ammo, stupid.
>>737309261Nigga I have never got full cheevos for a single game in my life, I want to finish the game and if the game is fun I'll replay it over and over not replay it over and over to make the game fun to start with. die japan
>>737311008It seems fun for you means the bar next to a weapon stat is maxed out. Kinda cring
>>737311240Nta but the fact that the game has bars that need to be maxed is what turns any game into a chore. That's why I prefer old school survival horror. None of this "Level up!" numale crap. There are some exceptions to the rule like Dead Rising. But that's only when games still manage to be good in spite of the annoying "OMG, I'M LEVELING UP! IT'S JUST LIKE REAL LIFE" shit.
>>737307460yeah i have no idea what you're talking about. there isn't a single thing this game doesn't improve from RE4 except literally 1 which is pistol fire rates. try playing it on a console or emulating I guess though because that's how I play it.
>>737305157>F+V to dodge a fucking attack do yourself a favor and rebind (F+V) to (Q + E) and run to W+Wwhy are pc players so retarded and choose to play video games with office equipment?
>>737309610it's not an issue it's a great thing. 5 and 6 are stellarly made co op games that marked the last time capcom tried to innovate with RE at all besides 7.
I asked this before but I recently beat RE5 and going to move on to the veteran and professional diffifulties. To my knowledge RE5 doesn't traditionally allow fresh new games on higher difficulties and you are expected to use all your upgraded gear and items in later playthroughs but doesn't that mess with the balance? In RE4, its pro difficulty was somewhat trivialized if you used your old unlocks
>>737312908it isn't really. 5 gets trivialized with those too. it's beatable without using the store at all. to strike a good balance though you can just only use the money you get on that playthrough.
>>737312227That's your problem, you don't need to max anything, it's just there to give you something to burn excess money. By the way, 4 had upgrade system too.
>>737302814im playing it rn with my gf(male) and we are having a blast :3
>>737307227Where is the opinions menu?Joking aside, what setting is this? Searching online it seems that this option for PC is only included in mods and not built into the game.
>>737303578>>737304449Retards
>>737309317 You're smoking crack if you think the aiming is worse. It’s literally RE4 but smoother with better hit feedback and actual quick weapon swapping. The only reason it *feels* worse to you is because enemies aren’t politely lining up in a spooky Spanish hallway anymore.And “just stick to the RE4 formula” is exactly how you get yearly copy‑paste slop. 5 at least tried to push it into full co‑op action instead of pretending it was still survival horror while handing you a suitcase full of rocket launchers.Outlast clones had nothing to do with 5 either, that was devs realizing they could delete combat entirely and call it “immersive.” Blame Amnesia for that one.
>>737313378But it does. Even as a huge fan of re5 I have to admit that the characters are bland compared to 4's. Villains are almost good but none except Wesker ever get their five minutes.Also even though the level diversity is pretty great none of them stands out because they are still pretty samey when it comes to color and surroundings. The only one moment when you get some respite is the flower cave
>>737312908I'm pretty sure you easily can trivialize Veteran with NG+, and even if you start a fresh file, you will already have enough game knowledge to go through the game with relative ease. It's a problem when you start with Veteran for your first playthrough and have to suffer through bullet sponge enemies, which is what happened to me. Fuck the chainsaw Majini holy shit.
>>737313779Ahoooooga
>>737302814I like both RE4 and RE5, but every time I go back to them there is always, without fail, a re-adjustment and re-learning period on how the hell you're supposed to play them. To me this is an indication that it wasn't some genius design decision to increase gameplay tension, but simply unintuitive controls from an era when they were still figuring some shit out.As such I don't blame anyone for wanting to play the remakes instead, but critically in this case the originals are still widely available on all platforms, which they should always be. Nothing worse than when an unfaithful remaster/remake comes out and completely overrides the original, becoming the only way to easily play without jumping through hoops (looking at you Demon's and Dark Souls.)
>>737313105>That's your problem, you don't need to max anything, it's just there to give you something to burn excess money.Not really. If you like to waste time leveling up, then it's fun. If you don't like it, then it's distracting and annoying because it's impossible to not think about it when the game itself is about using guns. It's a core aspect of the game itself. >By the way, 4 had upgrade system too.I know. But the game is fucking awesome. And the guns are pretty nice and unique. Each gun has its own personality in RE4. I still think about the Silver Ghost every now and then. I'm not ashamed to say it feels kinda good to upgrade them. Almost as if you are taking care of a pet or a kid. RE5 doesn't have that. Every gun is generic at best, You start the game with a regular Beretta. And you can't even unlock the Samurai Edge in the story mode. The M93R pales in comparison. Picrel would have been way better.
>>737315695Ngl, you sound like a retard and a faggot.
>>737314080I took me like 20 minutes to get used to re4, and like 40 mins to the tank controls in re2 and re3. Re5 just sucks lol.
Am I crazy for thinking RE5 had exclusive upgrades for weapons once you fully upgraded them?
>>737315836Maybe. But my point still stands.
>>737315695I actually think that giving the guns names is what also helped them feel unique. Everyone remembers the Samurai Edge, the Punisher, the Striker, the Broken Butterfly, the Killer 7 to mention some, but no one remembers whatever codename the RE5 weapons had unless you actively search for them.
>>737316359Regular guns in 5 used their real names. Don't tell me you can't remember some of the most iconic guns in history like the H&K MP5 or Beretta M9.
>>737318182I'm not a /k/fag, so no. The only gun I recognized was the AK-47 because that's probably the most overused gun in fictional media.
>>737316359As long as the guns look like actual reall life guns then the name isn't a big deal for me. MGSV's frankenguns for example were silly
I'm playing through the series and also reached 5, gameplay was improved over 4, zombies are faster and Sheva's does things to my penis.A shame she's useless with any weapon other than rifles, with rifle in hand, she's a fucking aimbot.Also what the fuck is with Chris's build?
>>737320590Chris has a very specific build for a very specific reason, you'll understand later at the end of the game.
>>737302814Anyone shitting on this game obviously didnt have anyone to play it with. its okay to just say you are a friendless loser
>>737321991
>>737321991i mean yes, you are probably right
>>737321991Kek, I fucking wish. RE5 was pretty much the only game I used to play with my friends. And it was still a mediocre experience compared to playing RE4 alone. If I'm gonna hang out with friends, I'd rather do anything except playing RE5.
>>737323485you wish you were a friendless loser?
>>737315898Some of them have but issue is that some are them are only available on late/post game.Also infinite ammo is piss easy to unlock.
>>737324697I wish the problem with RE5 was as simple as "you have to play it with friends to enjoy it," instead of being a bad RE game. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent game on its own but it's a terrible RE game.
>>737325447>terrible RE game.I mean so is RE4 but NO ONE wants or is ready to have that conversation
>>737327924>or is ready to have that conversationDid you get this line from your favorite youtuber? You can start then you disingenuous piece of shit.
>>737302814This game should've been a spin-off akin to the other ones like Outbreak. It's just RE4 but tweaked and streamlined to be a co-op game. Going from 4 to 5 and 6 is just jarring.
>>737327924Nah. RE4 is a radically different RE game but it still has a horror setting with a steady pacing despite being an action game. That makes RE4 a nice breath of fresh air. But RE5 has nonstop action with barely any horror elements included. The result? It gets repetitive, even with friends.
>>737328475>DID YOU GET THAT OPINION FROM YOUTUBER #383838383>NOOOOOO WE'RE NOT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE YOU PARROT SOME ECELEB WITHOUT HAVING ANY THOUGHT OF YOUR OWN SO THIS DISCOURSE IS A WASTE OF TIME>NOOOO RE4 IS A TIMELESS CLASSIC AND THE BEST RESIDENT EVIL GAME OF ALL TIME, EVEN THOUGH AT THE TIME IT TOOK A BACKSEAT TO HORROR AND RESPONSIBLE FOR 5 AND 6.RE4 is a fun game but it's literally feels like a spin-off, Code Veronica is the real RE4 and idc what anyone says>B-but CV was suppose to be 3-Debunked and no I won't elaborate it since you're a fag
>>737328815>RE4 is a radically different RE game but it still has a horror setting with a steady pacing despite being an action game.Regenerators and that Verdugo section is literally the only thing that feels like a horror game for a while but the second you get the scope it's back to action.Chapter 5 was a beta test for RE5 and it shows. RE4 horror is just sprinkles, it doesn't revolve any backtracking or puzzles from the og trilogy and, RE5 is worse because of it. RE4 is responsible for it but I blame Capcom for not porting Remake to PS2
Resident Evil was already action focused by the time 3 came around. RE4 didn't start this trend.
>>737329362>Resident Evil was already action focused by the time 3 came around.Horror was still a stronger focus because you literally had guys and girls raped by zombies with tracks giving off the ambience of lost hope and rise of necropolis and Nemesis being a scary mofo knowing he's coming to get you. It's the right balance which should've maintained for the rest of the series but 4 wanted to go further. The difference between 2-3 aren't so different, quick turn is a big game changer, unrelated note
>>737329090I don't know. RE5 was initially going to be RE4 but with more survival horror elements included. Crimson-Heads instead of Majiggers, sunlight mechanics, dehydration, hallucinations. RE5 had the golden chance to actually surpass RE4 in terms of being the ultimate RE game, the perfect mix of action and horror.
>>737330003>hallucinationsStopped reading, if it what I think it is, it would've been annoying. I just beat RE6 Leon campaign and it's fucking boring with a wtf story
>>737330332I guess it was going to be a nod to RE3.5 and all that progenitor vius thing.
https://youtu.be/AbHpCBoPIAI?si=iW8cJXa3Fk5BzpQe>Reloading and organizing inventory during a melee attack>Strategically timing i-frames>Quick-turning with the right stick to pivot and make shotsI fucking love RE5's combat system
>>737330476Ok that might've been kino actually. I see RE4 nothing more than a spin-off to me which it'll never be in S for it's horror elements being weaker and chapter 5 being terrible
>>737330332>>737330670Move 5 to C. Put 6 in D. Move 0 to B.
>>737331035>Move 5 to C.If it was solo playthrough maybe>Put 6 in DThe game isn't worthy for new game+>Move 0 of all things into BNo anon that game isn't fun and is ruined for a lot of reasons, if it weren't for that it would've been A tier. Rather not be a virgin than put 0 anything higher
>>737302814It's a dogshit game with every design decision fighting against you the player from minute one. Don't let /v/ gaslight you into thinking they all actually like it and think it's good.
Just finished 5, what did I think of it?Well, gameplay was definitely improved from 4 except the added cover system, zombies are faster also later ones are more difficult to stun, bosses are meh, Lost Planet 2 was better in that department, if you know you know.Sheva is my top girl in the franchise, unless there's someone sexier in the sequels.Weapons lack the uniqueness of 4, I just didn't know which weapons are good even when looking at the stats, like I saw no reason to upgrade later rifles when the very first one can be upgraded to deal 1k+ dmg and large magazine.Sheva as AI partner wasn't as rage inducing as other people have mentioned it, she was fine for the most of the time.
>>737331229You got filtered hard. 0 might be hard but it is still one of the best games in the series.
>>737307460>Felt much better in re4. Like I don't know what the fuck I'm doing wrong? If it's supposed to be like RE4 then I'm not getting that feeling.Different engineREmake, RE0 and RE4 use the same engineRE5, RE6, Revelations and Revelations 2 use the same engine
>>737303298snap aiming is slower so you can't spam it to instantly shoot behind you. and if you fuck up the timing you'll outright miss the input and it feels like dogshit when it happens.doesn't happen if you equip throwables but that's irrelevant.other than this i agree it's an improvement
>>737331783I beat the game>>737331783>one of the best games in the series.Me if I had shit taste
>resident evil 5 is a bad game nowyou retards wouldn't know a good game if it bit you in the ass
>>737333462post your tier list
>>737333462>nowPeople have widely been saying it's bad game since it was released. They were wrong though.
I used to call re5 bad but really it's only the later levels that are bad.
>>737335173>it's only the later levels that are bad.That describes practically every RE.
>>737335375so true
>>737314080>from an era when they were still figuring some shit out.But re4 feels like it does for a reason. It wasn't max payne or ratchet and clank or kill switch. Its control scheme wasn't some mainstream industry "standard". Back then big budget games were much more experimental.
>>737335375Not RE3>b4 CarlosI don't see the issue it's like 10 minutes of the game at best. The only thing that's shit is the water puzzle treatment
>>737328860Not reading all that shit, lil' bro
>>737339278>Not readingI accept concession
>>737339532posing>>737339278I win
>>737302814It's jank-as-fuck action game that's really unsatisfying to play when stacked against contemporaries like Gears of War, and it's also completely given up on trying to be a horror game, so it's the worst of both worlds, and it also took the divisive two-character aspect of RE0, and made it even more obtrusive and tedious. You have to cheese the game in order to give Sheva an infinite ammo weapon/give her a shock stick and turn her into your pack mule, or she will melt through your ammo, and she essentially turns the entire game into a tedious escort mission if you're playing it single-player. Even ignoring how much the setting of the game courted controversy amongst the race grifters, Africa is just a shitty location for a RE game, especially when 95 percent of the game is in brightly-lit locales, half of it during the day. The game just felt like it took everything that I didn't like about RE4 and amplified it, while simultaneously tossing out the stuff that I did like about RE4. Then RE6 diluted it even more.
>RE4 control schemeThat's why. RE4 controls are literally designed around the octagonal stick gate on the GameCube controller. RE4 feels bad to play with any round stick gate controller.
