Resident Evil 6 is the best Resident Evil. I'm not baiting.

>>14711574

i don't agree its the best but it I like it a lot.

I just a game wanted where I go to Africa and kill a bunch of niggers. RE5 delivers on that, at least.

>>14711599

worst thing is resident evil 5 used to be a lot bigger in area size before the racist claims around the game.They scrapped a lot of its scenarios and the original village was like left 1/3 of what it was supposed to be

>>14711574

RE6 is a good game, but it isn't a good Resident Evil. RE4 and after have gone so far from the main formula they should have been their own spin off games like how Devil May Cry started. Just make them their own series, "The Mercenaries" and focus the games on doing Hollywood action TPS against monsters/parasites/aliens/whatever.

Lost in Nightmares sucks. It starts off as a patronizingly corny retread of RE1 before it arbitrarily removes your weapons and makes you trap a few big palookas and then you fight Wesker who now has implausible Matrix superpowers like being able to bench press three oil tankers stacked on top of each other, run slightly slower than an SR-71, speed-read the entirety of The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest in ten minutes, and write a comprehensive review about it in two seconds.

And, they apparently fight him with Berettas of identical make and model to the ones they started the mission with by looting them off of a convenient pile of dead Men in Black cosplayers.

Not to mention that it was going to have hallucinations that Chris would have if he stayed out in the sun for too long.

Fuckoff GamingBrit, your proxyfagging isn't fooling anyone.

>>14711826

re5 was going to be a fucking masterpiece if they didnt cut all that shit out,all the stuff they deleted is amazing

Is RE5 actually fun with a human partner?

>>14712123

yes,co op was best part of the game

>>14712123

Co-op was a fucking blast.

I remember I pirated it and so did my brother, but getting it to work on pirated copies was a major pain in the ass. It took me a good couple hours of research and file changes to finally get it going, and it only worked on Tunngle, not Hamachi. It was worth the time investment though.

Mercenaries is also pretty fun if you like to challenge yourself.

>>14711574

Yes you are, I got it for free and I hate it. The gameplay is janky and frustrating, the level design is awful, the enemies are not fun to kill, the jake/sherry storyline has some truly awful moments and generally nothing about it works.

>>14712134

>>14712129

I suspected as much. I tried going through with the AI partner and it just felt like a fucked up RE4, so after a while I decided to play that instead. I probably shouldn't have given up so easily since it's obvious it would be more tolerable with a friend.

>>14711574

>RE without any horror element is the best RE

are you retarded?

>>14712147

Yeah your AI partner (Shiva? Sheila? Can't remember) is pretty lackluster, having a coop partner is not only more satisfactory but a lot more fun in fights. I don't remember why, I just know that's how it was.

/v/ is pretty kneejerky about shilling, and I don't blame my fellow anons whatsoever for that. Take a look around, it's better to be safe than sorry, our paranoia belongs where it is on this board. But I will say that if you can buy it cheap, maybe ten or fifteen bucks (it's years old now, it shouldn't be much anymore) definitely consider getting it if a friend of yours gets it too. If it's already a yohoho'd version that's on your machine you can try looking up the tunggle tunneling solution to getting it working over virtual LAN, it's been quite a while so maybe somebody somewhere has streamlined the process for pirated versions.

I played RE5 up until the boat lake/swamp hut area and then quit. It was a terrible experience and I haven't been back for any new installments since. Everything I saw about RE6 looked terrible, and the plot of RE7 was likewise something that gave me no interest.

RE5 wouldn't have been one of the best if you replace 90% of the game, and the series is dead to me unless REmake2 turns out better than I expect.

>>14712326

RE5 should have been better, but either way I agree that it should have ended there.

>>14712123

it was so much fun anon. each of you can customize your own arsenal independently of each other so you'll naturally fill the roles you like, and there's a good variety of weaponry, enemies and tools. the setting was stupid, the story was stupid, the ending was stupid, but it was a really fun game regardless

>>14711574

If the game had the characters of Operation Raccoon City, the premise of Umbrella Corps, and the gameplay of RE6, I'd play the living shit out of that game.

>>14712326

I wanted them to keep Alex Wesker as the series' new main villain but Capcom couldn't even do that right

Does anyone else really want a Mercenaries 3D "sequel" of sorts where they just load it with every possible map and character from there series and release it on PC and consoles? As much as I legitmately loved almost everything about 7 no bully the lack of an actual Mercenaries mode kills me and there's only so long I can keep replaying 6's Mercs because face it that was the only good part of 6.

>>14712123

For your first play through, sure. And maybe even your second.

But a lot of the set pieces lose their appeal and feel like more of a chore than a fun romp. Not to mention quick time events are just dumb in general.

RE6 plays almost exactly like RE5. What the fuck kind of crack are you smoking?

>>14712724

It has a few additions that make it less rigid than 5 was, in addition to the parry system, evades and being able to shoot while on the ground.

5 had a more enjoyable setting and characters for me, but 6's gameplay was a considerable improvement over 5's stiff as all hell gameplay.

>>14711574

>>14711760

>>14712732

This. It's a great game, but it's not exactly an RE game aside from the setting.

It's much more 'actionized', and on co-op it's a freaking blast.

You can parry, roll, rush forward and pull off 'quickshots', throw yourself to the floor and shoot while rolling to avoid enemies, there are several kinds of melee attacks, special melee finishers with weapons…

I vastly prefer 6 compared to 5. 5 is fun on co-op as well, but 6 streamlines inventory usage (5's nine slot capacity is always bothersome) and each character has differences, be it Helena's exclusive Hydra shotgun which uses different shells, or Piers' rifle.

Extra modes are also interesting - it was pretty cool to try out Agent Hunt in the gun shop scenario, controlling monsters in the middle of an actual co-op campaign that two other unknown players are currently going through.

>>14711574

Funny way to say Code Veronica Knife only.

>>14712758

>This. It's a great game, but it's not exactly an RE game aside from the setting.

This has been my thought on every Resident Evil game post-C:V with 7 only just sort of returning to form they better not fuck up REmake 2

>>14712123

Resi5 one of those games that is mandatory coop if you wish to derive any pleasure out of it. The splitscreen coop is some of the best times you can have. The coop QTEs are an especially good time. As assy as it sounds on paper, with the right person and the right mindset going in they become a work of genius. If you're trying to do a perfect run you might not find them very enjoyable, but I had glorious keks watching weaker say Complete Global Saturation over and over again because me or my partner kept fucking up the QTE over and over because we couldn't stop laughing our asses off.

It's fun as fuck with a decent friend who is willing to be loud and make jokes at the game's expense. It's been like 10 years since I last played it and many of the lines and moments we had with that game are still 10/10 inside jokes between us. It's not even remotely the best game ever but it's so much fun.

I ran RE5 on a pentium 4 with an HD4350 and it ran at 720p30 with no hitches. The MT Framework engine was a fucking beast.

>>14713023

Why doesn't it work?

bump

>>14712672

I liked Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS despite the obvious system and controls being limiting. A more fleshed out game would be pretty good, more so on PC where you could mod porn mods into it and play it with a Gamecube Controller

>>14712626

this,the customization and the arsenal of re5 was great

>>14712123

Definitely, I still think it's the worst main RE game but it's hard not to enjoy the co-op. I never actually played it solo, I can't imagine how shit it must be that way.

>implying

its trying to cash in on RE1 nostalgia while failing to realize what made the original resident evil spooky.

The rest is just re5 being mediocre at best.

Re6 was shit, the increased mobility ruined the game, since it trivialized the importance of positioning and deciding when to engage vs run, as well as making melee enemies a joke, leading to so many encounters with gun enemies that it feels like a generic third person shooter, and loses the grounded weighty feeling of 4/5. Also the herb system was trash in 6, taking out any decision making involved in healing.

>re4

>pacing is great, game is an action-take on RE, not really scary but tense as hell in some parts (regeneradors)

>re5

>got caught up in stupid controversy which affected the rest of the series, and began forcing co-op (also ruined Jill)

>re6

>had at least 3-5 development teams and ended up being more stylish action than horror or high intensity

>revelations

>on the right track, but no real zombies to speak of, but definitely had more exploration and old-re style puzzles

>revelations 2

>horrible localization and forced co-op which involved one character being a tag-along, although the past-present switching led to interesting situations

>umbrella corps

>they fucking ruined HUNK how in the fuck did you manage that

>re7

>hillbilly haunted house full of jumpscares, ruined Chris, no mercenaries mode, no raid mode, and why the fuck is Chris in a for-profit army selling biosamples?

>>14715984

>thinks RE6 was on the right track

>talks shit about 7

How about you go back to the trashcan that you call a home?

>>14715996

I was talking about Revelations, you dummy.

>>14716018

Oh, im too fucking retarded.

>>14715996

Mostly right, except for a few things:

The only redeeming qualities of RE6 is mercenaries mode is for free. However that's not the only reason why people buy a RE game, if it was a lot more people would of bought that merc only game. Mercenaries mode still existing not really a plus for RE6 but rather the mindset of capcom at that time, I mean just look at the raid mode in the revelation games, it's still free but they put in gatcha shit in it (at least in the 2 one not sure about the first). I would bet my left nut if a RE game still had a mercenaries mode today it would be stuck behind DLC, since they did have a horde mode mini game in RE 7 in the dlc.

>why the fuck is Chris in a for-profit army selling biosamples

He's not, he's still in the BSAA. But explaining it is rather obtuse. Short version is chris is overseeing the operation of anti-bioweapon PMC that the BSAA hired, oh and they used to work for umbrella. But for some genius idea they decided to stick with the name with umbrella but changed the logo BLUE, to show they've turn a new leaf or some shit. Yeah it's fucking dumb.

I quit resident evil after re6 completely many years ago.

just be honest is it worth it for me to return to playing re again?

i was thinking revelations 2 but it also looks like shit to be honest

>>14716103

All RE games have cute girls though.

>>14716122

Revelations 2 is neat and brought barry back.

>>14713247

idk it just goes black at boot there's a guide on steam on how to fix it but I haven't given the fixes a go yet.

Are there any other games RE related or otherwise that are like The Mercenaries, but expanded out into a full standalone game, like the 3DS one?

>>14717248

People expected Operation Raccoon City and Umbrella Corps to do that, but as always, Capcom fucks something as simple as tacticool mercenaries/umbrella agents retrieving Virus samples and cleaning up BOWs.

>>14711574

I agree, it's the only one with actually fun gameplay instead of shit controls.

>>14717271

The worst part is that i was actually exited for ORC and wanted it to be good, playing as umbrella guys will forever be fun.
