How did RE4 "Save the franchise" if it completely changed what the franchise was about?
>>12639780>How did video games "Save Nintendo" if it completely changed what the company was selling?
>>12639780Resident evil 4 is boring and I'm tired of pretending it's not
>>12639780People will say 4 saved the franchise then bitch and complain about 5 and 6.
>>12639792First level is pure kino. Then it becomes a slog.
>>12639796Exactly
>>12639780Because it's not a real Resident Evil game. It erased the survival horror element & replaced it with action, where you play as an emo-haired mass shooter killing innocent villagers, dumbasses in robes, and a midget in a 1700's attire. It feels like a reskin of another game.
Maybe because it's literally the best video game ever made, or something
Resident evil was always action horror. You could kill 95% of enemies in the game because of plentiful ammo. Re4 just focused on the thing the series did well.
>>12639780I don't like what RE4 did to the series but I think it's a fantastic entry in its own right.It allowed the franchise to continue, I guess. For better or worse (mostly worse)
resident evil 4a horse with no name
>>12639798>It erased the survival horror element & replaced it with actionIt's still horror, but action horror. The survival element is highly diminished because enemies shit out resources.
>>12639780How often do you post this thread?
>>12639780People care more about labels than they do quality.
>>12639780It sold very very well and made sure the franchise lived on. RE7 did the same.
>>12639780Because RE3 and Veronica sold like shit you gigantic retard. When a series is losing steam, it's a common practice to change it.
just like RE1, RE4 basically created a genre that would be followed for years to comeRE2 Remake would do the same years later, marking 3 times that a single Resident Evil directed the course of gaming.

>>12640118Damn she's badass
>>12639780because no one actually liked the slow and prodding classic games and were just pretending for Mature Gamer Big Boy points.
>>12639795>People will say 4 saved the franchise then bitch and complain about 5 and 6.never played 6 but its amazing how 5 is really just an extension of 4 but manages to be worse in nearly every way. come to think of it i never played another re after 5 and it doesnt look like im missing much
>>12639795>complain about 5 and 6.5 is 4 with worse level design, forced retarded coop ai partner and a doghsit inventory.6 Is just 5 different mediocre games stapled together.
>>12640327>>12640329mercenary mode
>>12640330Event that is somewhat dumbed down. Characters are much more unique in 4 mercenary.
>>12639795I am sick and goddamned tired of 5 slander, it is a fantastic game, albeit lacking in the horror that 4 retained from the previous titles.
>>12639796I'll never understand how anyone can hate the castle.
>>12640642It's kinda annoying how you find Ashley and then she's kidnapped like 10 minutes later like 3 times.
>>12639780Yeah
>>12640118She just keeps running
>>12640329>forced retarded coop ai partnerRE5 is meant to be played with a friend, same with RE6.
>>12639882There's no horror. That's like calling Scary Movie "horror".
>>12641151>There's no horrornovistadors are pretty scary
