Critical Miss: A Parable
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
I can't say I've played enough RE to really know what you're getting at. Isn't RE4 meant to be like that sandwich that has some extra mayonnaise on it because the chef loves you?
On another note, seems it pays to be up at 2:00 some days
EDIT: That soda can seems VERY familiar...
EDIT EDIT: I totally get what my 2:00 AM past self couldn't grasp. No need to explain.

Thats the point, most people see it as RE without everything people hated about RE, and yet the fans still hated it for changing it up.QuadFish said:I can't say I've played enough RE to really know what you're getting at.

I like RE4 but it was too.... James-Bondy.
I preferred the older games like RE2 or Code V that actually had atmosphere as opposed to non-stop action.
Surely we're past arguing about RE4/vs RE original though? I mean come on, we've got good ole racist RE5 to bicker about now!
Personally, I'd have left the sandwich and eaten the totally edible crispses. But that's a different parable.
I would have agreed more, but I didn't miss the shit at all in the 4th re game. I've played their entire spectrum,2,3,2 on 64/headdesk, survivor, dead aim, cvx, and outbreak.
The problem with 4 and 5 is that the shit isn't gone it's still there in spades, but they reformulated the shit into some kind of new shit, that in the context of a re shitsandwich, tastes yummy and new. In other towns where they don't make you eat said sandwiches you would bite into a say a re control setup shitsandwich and go, this tastes crappy, but as someone who has had to eat a diet of even shittier control S sandwiches we can say yummy.

Well yeah. I mean, in this parable there is only one restaurant in the town. Fortunately there isn't only one videogame developer in the world.Grouchy Imp said:
Still, many people get used to going to the same restaurant regardless and ordering the same shit and turkey sandwich. Even if a new one opened up in the town, they'd still eat the same sandwich at the same restaurant. Habit.
I think it's more of a play on the fact that is has zombie and yet is not a shooter...Grouchy Imp said:
World at War and everything similar had zombies, but it's still a shooter.
