I really liked Res 4, but the 5th one is just boring.:daze:
I loved Res 1, 2, 3, and code Veronica, but the 5th one just feels like its missing something.

I didn't get the chance to pick it up yet but I heard its a bit off. I wish they would have went back to the original format.
I definitely don't think it sucked, but it was disappointing. Aside from the graphics (RE5's visuals are fantastic) RE4 has it beat in every regard: control, atmosphere, fear/fun factor, and Leon is SO much cooler than Chris.
The only part I really liked was how much of a focus it brought back to the core Resident Evil storyline, in spite of how clunky it often was. It seemed to wrap the series up with a nice element of finality.
They tried to make it too much like a modern American shooter IMO
The game did not feel like a Resident Evil game at all. Only one part did in one of the facilities where there was lickers all caged up..waiting to bust out at the right moment.
I still got to pick it up though. Did the PC version of it come out yet?
Not played it personally, but RE4 was always going to be a tough act to follow.
Exactly. That "something missing" was atmosphere. It's still a really good game, better than similar big-name releases like Metal Gear 4, but not nearly as classic as RE4. That's what happens when you have a second character by your side 90% of the time, and most of the game is set in daylight.Quote:

I just can't get over how short it is either. Incredible, you spend money on a game and it doesn't last at all. I've been trying to beat Adventure Island for 20 years and I'm still working on it.
I actually enjoyed it.. playing Co-op was something i was wanting in a RE game since RE2was released... had more fun with it then 4..but i have a very soft spot for the PS1 games...
I heard Batman:Arkham Asylum suffers from a short length as well which is very disappointing. Nothing worse then buying a game thats short on content.Quote:

I've read some about RE5 and most say it ain't very good. I can say the benchmark of RE5 runs great on my PC though LOL. It not out on PC yet as well AFAIK.Quote:

Out of curiousity, what does everyone think the "acceptable" amount of time a $60 game should take to play through these days? Some people would rather their games require a 30+ hour investment of time, while many others would rather the game last 5-10 hours and have a lower barrier of entry for future playthroughs.
I paid $30 for Klonoa, which is honestly a 3 hour game, but I'd gladly have paid $50 for it. It's all about quality. Some of the "lengthiest" games I've played had tacked on quests to prolong the game. Then again, games like Final Fantasy Tactics, in which the length of the game is determined by how dedicated YOU are, are fantastic.
For me, I think 5-8 hours is a good length. A good, focused run that doesn't take more than a week to get through initially (providing that you only play for an hour or two an evening), while also encouraging replay.
RE4 is a perfect example of this.
