There's just nothing else like it
Only the village section was good, amazing even. The rest of the game is a trainwreck.
>>12130897Europa cover is better due to minimalism, but is just my opinion.
>>12130930Hyperbole. The game doesn't change in any significant way between areas for that to be the case.
I never cared for the Biohazard name.
>>12130930I don't understand this opinion, people bitching about the island section I at least understand even if they are wrong. Saying only the village was good just seems like cope for "I didn't play the game but hate it for being popular"What is it about the village that makes it the only good section?Why do the Castle and Island sections upset you so much?Did you even play the game?Did you even beat the game?
Don't you get tired of this?
resident evil 4a horse with no name
>>12131080The castle section had awful and unfun level design and almost felt like you were playing a totally different game.
>>12130945I've never liked it because of its overall low quality, like a bunch of Capcom Europe covers of the time.
>>12131545>overall low qualityit's good tho???
>>12130897The Evil Within is the only game I've played that hits the same spot. Fitting since they were both made by Shinji Mikami. IMO, a big part of the appeal is the sheer variety in scenarios and encounters. That really helps every area of the game feel unique, and makes you feel like you're going on an adventure rather than just playing another game. You could say it was for console gamers what Half-Life was for PC gamers.I never had an issue with the castle or the island desu. I think some people just wanted the whole game to be different variations on the first village fight, but that's what Mercenaries is for, anyway.
>>12130945PAL gamecube cover is more evocative and better composed
deserves every bit of praise it gets desucan boot it up and play anytime, satisfying shooting, QTE's exist but whatever. I prefer the classic RE style but RE4 is close to a perfect game

>>12131080>I don't understand this opinion, people bitching about the island section I at least understand even if they are wrong. Saying only the village was good just seems like cope for "I didn't play the game but hate it for being popular"NTA but village > island > castle.village is probably the most fun when it comes to shooting zombies/zombie-likes. it's also where most of the iconic stuff in the game like the village assault, dr. salvador & the bella twins, el gigante and the cabin defense happen.outside of the regenerators the island is a pretty solid traditional FPS/TPS section but it's ultimately more fun in the remake. it's also where the krasuer fights and the laser grid happens.castle is the worst because it's too close quarters with too many corridors while everything is can practically insta-kill you if your not careful.>Did you even play the game?i played both the original and remake.>Did you even beat the game?only thing i didn't beat between both versions was separate ways.
REMINDERTHESE ARE THE ONLY TRUE RESIDENT EVIL GAMES. ALL GAMES MADE AFTER 3 A SHITTY ACTION GAMES WITH THE RE LOGO SLAPPED ONTO THEM. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME
>>12132856speaking as someone who went through all the games this october i'm going to say that classic RE is overrated and uses it's jank as a crutch to mask how easy the games really are.classicfags just think otherwise because they remember playing them as dumb kids who didn't know any better at the time.
>>12132886It was about the atmosphere of the game in the old ones. It became an action game since re4. There’s no way to repair the series now. But I think RE5 was the peak of co-op action. Re4…definitely the goat action single player. They did not know what to do with the latest game, from what I know. RE should be more about the creep factor, puzzling. I’m not sure I like seeing a 20ft tall monster and jeeps and rocket launchers, even though the originals have silly game elements like that, and mirrored in the movies. They are stuck between 5 console eras and changing taste.
>>12132886The games aren’t about being difficult, they’re about figuring out the game and mapping routes in your head for your second and third play throughs. Getting caster and optimizing is the fun.
>>12132929to me RE was never about the spooky mansions & secret laboratories. when i think of classic RE i think of RE2, RE3 and the outbreak games. surviving/escaping a zombie infested city before the government wipes said city off the map while i think of RE4, RE5 & RE8 when i think of modern RE. traveling out to isolated parts of the world to deal with whatever nasties that live there ala delta green.>There’s no way to repair the series nowi'd argue there's nothing to fix. the demand for a RE game EXACTLY like the PS1 games is so niche that i can probably count the indie games that try to replicate it's gameplay on one hand (and only one of the is zombie related). the series would've likely died at RE0 had they stuck with the classic formula.>They did not know what to do with the latest gamemy theory is that when they were developing RE8 they became more and more interested in doing an RE4 remake to the point where they effectively saved all their ideas for the RE4 remake and rushed RE8 out the door so they can start the remake ASAP.the remake is better gameplay wise imo because of the improved gunplay/combat but it's significantly less campy than the original which was part of RE4's charm.capcom are cowards for not doing an RE5 remake.
>>12133901They should turn 5 just in a light gun or ego shootan or maybe both
>>12130897RE5 is exactly like that. Nice try.>>12130945It's crap.>>12132856Agreed. Although they'll gripe about tank controls, those games for their time was great. Without these games, they wouldn't have their precious RE4.
>>12133930when they first announced RE4R i thought it was gonna be a FPS. i'm kinda surprised that they never included the option.
>>12130897I agree.It is a simple idea paired with great execution.And yet it feels one of a kind.>>12130930Nice bait
>>12132886>remember playing them as dumb kids who didn't know any better at the timekek this is so truewe used to rent this game from blockbuster and play it since our parents wouldnt buy it for usthe store had only 1 copy and it was all scratched up of course so there were certain doors you couldn't open or the game would freezegame scared the bejeasus out of us as kids but it's pretty bad really
>>12132856>RE3>not extremely action-y
>>12130945It's cool, but too artsy for what RE4 actually is
>>12130897For me, it's how it's a 10/10 action game with just enough RE DNA to stand out.
>>12133901>the remake is better gameplay wise imo because of the improved gunplay/combatHow did they improve it?
>>12132856It was always going into a certain direction. Making the cutoff point after 3 is just as pointless as putting it in after 1 or 2.1 and 4 arguably contribute more to culture than 2; and definitely more than 3.
>>12131080For me it's the atmosphereThe village actually feels like "somewhere". Like I'm actually exploring a place. The castle feels unimportant, it's just a backdrop to shooting bad guys, it doesn't feel like I'm a operative in a black op in a remote part of a different country anymore. Now I'm just in a game. The village was an interesting place on it's own, the castle is just a stage.
if you didn't beat it with this controller you didn't actually beat the game
>>12134526Is this controller actually usable or is it as uncomfortable as it looks
>>12134508the ability to move and shoot, more standardized/natural shooter controls, the inclusion of grab counters with grenades & knives from RE2R & RE3R and the ability to parry hits with your knife.the last one is highlighted with the krasuer knife fight (which now happens earlier) being actual gameplay instead of a QTE.
>>12134585also i forgot to add that RE4R's mercenaries mode has the special abilities for each of the mercs now like in RE8.>leon deals double damage>luis can drop dynamite>ada moves faster and can reload faster>hunk has infinite ammo>krasuer has his sword arms which can be controlled now>wesker can parry shit infinitely and pull of melee combos
>>12130897The game that became beloved by all Biohazard haters. It's shit, but the meme potential lets it stay in the top. Also dumb whores worshipping Leon.
>>12134585>the ability to move and shoot, more standardized/natural shooter controls, the inclusion of grab counters with grenades & knives from RE2R & RE3R and the ability to parry hits with your knife.How did this improve the game?
>>12134645it's not worth trying to have a discussion with those sorts of 'people'they believe in universal linear progress, that all things and game design only improves as time goes on to him, the idea that you can't move and shoot in the original is not an informed design decision the developers made, but a limitation they somehow couldn't solve, so adding the ability to move and shoot can only ever be an improvement not being able to parry is obviously a flaw too, since every modern game has a parry because it's Objectively Good Game Design™. they should really remake games like Joust and Castlevania to have parries
>>12135098>a third person shooter shouldn't play like more like a third person shooter because...it just can't okay?>i-it's a skill issue if you disagree even though what i'm complaining about arguably requires more skill to do!do classicfags like yourself ever realize how retarded you all sound or are your heads so far up your collective asses that the high of your own farts warp your perception of reality?
>>12135141Damn, every part of your response to him was wrong. Impressive.
>>12135141Way to prove him right lol

>>12135141
>>12134526So lame you never get to use a chainsaw in game.
>>12135098They played only shit like Halo and Cowadooty where you can shoot while moving. In RE4 it's quite obvious you can't move while shooting because it's more realistic in this case - Leon has to brace himself for a proper shot, that's how it works in reality. It was made this way since it's a horror game where you have to manage your ammo and equipment, and can't afford to kill every zombie unless you're good with the knife.
>>12135296>Code VeronicaFound the coomer. It's around 2/10, not to mention you lose shit you have when characters change. You need to know about it beforehand in order to transfer your equipment.
>>12134528It's a chainsaw with buttons for cutting down trees or your neighbors (if they're zombies, you know the type).
>>12130930Correct.
>playing it now for the first time (GC)>get raped to death by chainsaw man in the first village area>ok we getting this nigga this time>dont even run into him for round 2 then everyone fucks off and goes to churchI am disappoint
