4 gets alot of shit for being responsible for 5

RE4 does nothing good for the industry

Name one time you liked seeing mechanics from RE4 in another game.

>Not TLOU
>Not Golden Eye
>Not FF7

RE4 isn't even close to being the most overrated game ever. The fact that millions of people love the shitpile that was Final Fantasy VIII baffles me to no end.

>perfect balance between horror and gameplay
>likable characters and a great wide cast of characters
>amazing story
Suck dick faggot.

>People mention RE4 as the start of the action oriented RE games

What is RE3 and Code Veronica, those games were way more goofy than RE4 ever got. I would even go out and say RE4 is the scariest game besides RE1 remake

>LEEEOOONNNN
fuck that whiny bitch and fuck the giant escort mission that entire game decided to be

I still love it overall

Resi 2
>zombies take 4-6 shots to kill with handgun
>H. Gun ammo is uncommon and Shotgun Shells are rare
>knife is meant to only take out zombos you've knocked over
>meant to evade as many enemies as possible
>even upgraded H. Gun is built to merely stun with 3 shots instead of wasting the whole 6
>early zombos are stressful enough in the RPD HQ and it only gets spookier and more grotesque from there

Resi 4
>regular bozos only take a couple shots at the worst
>ammo spurting out of dead bodies
>knife is easily valid use for a first run, especially paired with kicks and suplex
>meant to kill every enemy in your way
>Leon's case holds more firepower than the rest of the country of Spain
>enemies keep on as a walk in the park and nothing relatively wild appears except for bosses

Resident Evil 4 wasn't a bad game in its own right, but a lot of people forget that it's essentially what DOOM 4 is to DOOM 1 and 2

>those games were way more goofy than RE4 ever got

This is just blatantly untrue. Where in the fuck in Code Veronica or RE3 is there a "No thanks, bro," or "Better try a new trick 'cause that one's getting old."

Or a fucking giant statue of a midget that moves.

Holy fuck it must suck to have such a shit opinion. Why though? Were you abused?

can we just talk about how much fucking GAME RE4 has? That game was fat as hell. Most action oriented horror games would be done in 1/3rd in the space of RE4

Some might see this as a detriment, but RE4 was just dumb goofy fun, and just when you thought it was over there was A WHOLE ISLAND of bullshit left to deal with.

I don't see how anyone can complain about the escort mission aspect of the game. RE4 does it right. Ashley is always behind you when you shoot, will duck if she isn't can be left where you want or even in a completely safe space, can have her health raised to be more durable and for large sections of the game ashley isn't even with you. And hell, even when you're finished with the game you can load her up with a suit of armor so its NEVER a problem ever again. The only escort mission I have ever enjoyed in a game.

Code Veronica had a Leonardo DiCaprio looking teenager jump through a window while duel wielding two gold guns and shot a monster to death with infinite bullets in order to save the girl. Fuck you.

youtube.com/watch?v=R9NkdtcU1A8

The Ashford plot is just retarded even for B-Movie standards, also Steve was a whiny bitch who says "You see? You can depend on me" to later say IN THE SAME SENTENCE "You see? This guns are more reliable than any person"

Say what you will about RE4 but it does atmosphere and horror way better than Code: Veronica and RE3 ever did

You realize that crazy Matrix Wesker originated from Code Veronica correct? You have no basis to your argument. Fuck off.

Yeah, Veronica just had Claire outrunning a fucking helicopter and a crossdressing psycho who may have loved his sister a bit too much...and "SWORRY ABOUT THAT" steve.. Nothing goofy or over the top there.

Dead Space 1 and 2

Literally every second of Steve was cringey af

>amazing story
It was riddled with plot holes, and re4 is one of my favorite games

Holy fuck you nostalgia goggles are cutting off oxygen to your brain user if you think Code Veronica wasn't the cheesiest piece of shit that has ever existed in that series.

Plus, Ashley's equipped with ballistics.

So I can only assume that enough time has passed from the last RE4 bash thread. That being said your opinion is shit and you will be told repeatedly throughout this thread.

RE4 did good for the industry because it has literally the best pacing of any action game ever.

As far as games that took the RE4 formula and used it well

>Gears of War
>Dead Space
>Evil Within

she's the american president's daughter. Everyone knows blonde american girls have big fat tittays

sir?

This, Goldeneye 007 is shit by today's standards and even at the time of its released, there were better FPS games on PC. Resident Evil 4 holds up perfectly, it is one of my favorite games.

you're small time

FF7 still holds the title of most overrated
Halo is second
Goldeneye third

Literally the only thing I can complain about when it comes to this game is the cringey ass dialogue between Leon and other characters. It was wayyy to cheesy. All of it. Like when he and one of the villains have an entire three minutes worth of a conversation where they both try to outwit the other through a theatre analogy or some shit. Like wtf?

Evil within falls off pretty hard towards the end

i liked RE5
so, yeah, fuck you

OoT is way more overrated then FF7.

go away egoraptor

>no mentioning of Valve's games
HL2 is a great contender

>RE4 does nothing good for the industry

greedy companies poorly recreating elements of RE4 were bad for the industry

OoT certainly isn't THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME but it is definitely a solid title and worthy of praise. FF7 is just the cod4 of 1997.

I dunno it gave the game a campy B-Movie feel with leon's silly ass give no fucks attitude towards everything in the game.

NOOOOOO

Undertale is the most overrated game of all time by far..even calling it overrated sounds ridiculous

GTA IV

RUDE

Planescape Torment
Overrated doesn't mean bad

That isn't MOTHER 3

Or Earthbound

there are always bad games trying and failing to copy whatever's popular

How about over-the-shoulder camera you fucking ninny?

You mixed up your ME2 & RE4 shit OP.
Here, have mine.

There is a shameful lack of ashley r34

...

This.

What made it so "special" and "good"?

The characters were fucking boring and the storyline was generic as fuck too.

XX was better.

What the fuck did you just say about RE4 you little bitch

>Steve looking at Claire's plump round ass
>Every scene with Alfred
>Every scene with Steve
>Super Wesker

Uh, excuse me...

>All those Eva side missions and Mercenary mode
>Those cool weapons and costumes you could unlock after beating the game
This game is so fucking complete, I don't remember the last time I played an action game with so much content

RE:CV

When you first see the Bandersnatch smash that faggots face against the window I was like NOPE.

It was a bit more actiony than previous REs but it was still a solid entry.

RE3 was good too but not great like RE2.

RE4 with the merchant shit and suplexing was facepalming material.

I just can't see RE4 as a horror game. Those karate kicks to the villagers, the way Leon needs to do action smash jumps through every window despite a door being right there, how he needs to do a jump+roll down right next tot he ladder...

Every time.

Quick knife button for strategic offenses
Treasure hunting
Memorable bosses

Hey now nigger, they changed his hair in the newer versions.

And he was duel wieldeding golden Lugers which was cash as fuck.

>It was riddled with plot holes
like...?

Hey nigger, you keep those good survival horror games out of this RE4 thread.

Was Leon gay? There's no other logical reason to turn Ashley down.

weird way to spell Bioshock Infinite

>>H. Gun ammo is uncommon and Shotgun Shells are rare
you havnt actually played RE2 have you?

You just don't fuck the president's daughter

Leon has yellow fever

I never had an issue with ammo in RE. I always seemed to have enough, and def a surplus of shotgun ammo cuz I was afraid to use up all the fucking ammo I had for it.

What's the most overrated game ever and why is it your favorite game?

Infinite had a pretty large backlash from critics and fans once the honeymoon ended.

>3
Are you fucking shitting me? RE2 gets so much more love than RE3. RE3 is and always will be the Majora's Mask of the RE series.

This is literally the best part of the game though
Not to mention the typos
>your small time

>Critics
I've seen nothing of the like, some fans yeah though.
Not even memeing though I think Last of Us has to take the title of most overrated. Like it's a competent game, not utter shit by any means, but holy hell I still hear casuals talk about it on campus, and it got it's own next gen remaster that did nothing but bump the framerate and yet it got it's own console bundle for it.

My favorite game is Baldur's Gate II.

game play is shit.

...

BG2 is the perfect blend of gameplay, story, and dialogue.

That's the RE series in a nutshell.
youtube.com/watch?v=a41TAy7RfVI

Even in RE5 the villains have some pretty cheesy and hilariously awful lines. The cheesiness definitely helps to make the game feel less brooding and dark and lighten the mood.

The most overrated game is Undertale. It still has a 92 on metacritic ffs.

not about the mechanics. is that why you think it's well liked? pfft. it's sure nothing like that (well, maybe inventory tetris, but that's hardly the first to do that) it mainly rejuvenated a stagnating series/genre. also, show me a game that does enemy placement/pacing/variety as intelligently. go on, I'll wait.

How about the 5 minute long QTE knife fight, comrade?

why is BG 1 so bad?

Shadows of the Damned

It isn't. It's a completely different beast and focuses on exploration and encountering random crazy shit while exploring.

>he doesn't know he can skip all the useless cutscene segments and get the QTE fight finished in less than 30 secs by pressing Select
PS2 exclusive

complete
GLOBAL
S A T U R A T I O N

>large backlash from fans
>overwhelming positive review on steam

I fucking wish

Everything you posted is wrong.

Yeah, CV is shit. RE3 is still the best RE.

youtube.com/watch?v=HqEFPyJkhUk

Don't mind me just reminiscing on how much ass there is to eat in RE.

No, that would be REmake. Everyone knows this, stop trying to fight it.

This is one of the worst bluff posts I've ever seen.

Ammo in RE2 is raining from the sky compared to RE1, you get a fuck ton of handgun and shotgun ammo. In RE4, regular enemies take 3-6 handgun rounds no matter what unless you get a critical headshot.

Why the fuck are you lying about old Resident Evil games on Sup Forums? Actually play the games faggot.

I like RE1 (PS) more.

yeah fucking the president's daughter can in no way end badly.

they should have just stopped off on a desert island and gone for it though.

god damned I would have.

...

Anybody want to play RE5/6 on PC?
Also thread theme
youtube.com/watch?v=wJlPFipyykA

Thats just wrong. Bioshock Infinity and half of the critically acclaimed indyshit from the past few years is a couple hundred million light years ahead of RE4

Ashley is the quintessential "Sorta fat pig looking girl that has a smelly pussy I would've fucked but didn't really want to" girl we all knew in highschool.

Leon was probably fucking chicks back in the states, didn't need her snatch.

...

...

Nah, fuck it. It didn't fixed the things for the original RE that i dislike: the zombies aren't different each (think in Shenmue, where every NPC is different), it should set some monsters at random each new game (an easy way to increase the replayability) and the corpses should not disappear after you leave the room (muh immersion).

Also, Lisa Trevor is wasted, she only appears like three times in the whole game. I would have loved from her to appear random during all the game, like Nemesis or Forest ("One Dangerous Zombie").
