The only problem I had with resident evil 4 was Ashley.
QFT she was just jailbait pretty much to me...heck people are still saying Leon was stupid for not accepting Ashley's "offer"
In fact take out Ashley(that bitch was so annoying) and I'd love Re4's story Seriously as much as I HATE co-op atleast Sheva can defend herself and is actually HELPFUL to the player
when you force your opinion down people's throats as a fact you're.
I just support the older games and oppose RE4. I don't ever deteriorate into "OMG ANYONE WHO LIKES RE4 SHOULD DIE". If you like RE4, you like RE4. I don't. It's just a difference of opinion, nothing worth fighting over.
Besides, it's just a game. Nobody should get into a brawl over a video game... Though I admit to having done it before. >_>;
I'll say this again. Because it always pisses me off royaly when folks announce I'm either a lunatic fringe member or a retarded gimp for daring to oppose RE4 and it's awesome.
If you happen to play a game because you like the horror, or enjoy exploring elements, and get a kick out of the silly puzzles...and then a game in the series doesn't have any of those elements, and on top of that makes a character you like into a one lining muppet, the girl you're supposed to be rescuing has a bra size significantly higher than her own IQ and they both feature in a story best told by 1990's action movies...
Why, exactly, do I have to like this game again? Ah, yes. It has Resident Evil on the box. And not loving all things RE? Makes me a bad fan or a fringe lunatic...wait a minute...wouldn't obsessively and unthinkingly going, 'It's Resident Evil and has a higher number so best game ever!' be a little fanatic as well?
Of course, I didn't care about the Ganados. I did care that such supposedly smart enemies had such piss poor AI and tactics which robbed them and there swarm tactics of anything scary, something RE5 has at least partially resolved. But hell, if they want that freakish mutant rabbit from Donnie Darko to be the main enemy in Resident Evil they can. Just make the game halfway scary.
Of course, with that rabbit it couldn't help but be scary...
RE4 is a good game, and one I still play. But I play it when I'm in the mood for action. Every other game in the series I play for scares. Or puzzles, maybe, although I think Fatal Frame beats it there. Point is...comparing RE4 to the older games is like comparing chalk and cheese. Bar the title and three characters it could, quite easily, be a completely different franchise.
On the plus side, I was half expecting this to be a topic about Resident Evil Extreme, the /b/ of the Resident Evil community. It was quite pleasing to simply be heavily insulted and branded a rabid lunatic instead.
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!! I love resident evil for thr story and characters.
Just enjoy as it is. I really don't like the new storylines, but it could be worse. I look my RE experience as a whole. Hell, I'll be a liar if I say that I didn't like Umbrella Chronicles... With all the chessy cliches and forced B movie plot. That's part of the series identity (Jill Sandwich anyone?)
I may not agree with a lot of things going on with the series, but I will always be a fan. Action horror or survival horror.

I wasn't a big fan of UC eithier, and it actually caused me to sell my wii which I'm now kicking myself in the ass for because they gotta make another exclusive game for it(RE2 remake of all things). I am a "RE1" type of guy FYI, and much prefer the old school RE titles to the newer editions, but I thought RE4 was "ok". I mean, how could you not like a game where you fight against monks saying "muddy quesadilla" over and over again

It's not a RE2 remake, it's another on-rails shooter with RE2 as one of the scenarios.
Close enough, since I'm not expecting a full-on remake any time soon. What I'm saying, is that the only reason I feel "compelled" to buy it is because of the RE2 "remake" scenario.

Yea I agree with you on that one. My girlfriend speaks spanish and whenever I would play RE4 she'd be like "what the hell?"
I guess they thought that if they distorted the voices enough they could get away with it lol
