Hello there, fellow escapists, I have an announcement to make,
I fucking hate Resident Evil 5.

I've had the game for a loong time, and I've done just about everything I could stand with it, I beat the game on professional, after hours upon hours of retrying, due to AI fuck ups and it's refusal to support the player.

What did I get for this fucktardedly frustrating feat? Nothing
I even managed to get an S ranking on every level, on all difficulties except Professional, which has a couple S ratings and the rest at A.

What did I get? Nothing
I procured every gun and fully upgraded them all.

What did I get? Nothing
I even managed to get 24 of the 30 Medallions without ever looking up where they are.

This frustrated me, after being at 23 medallions for weeks, and my bad TV looking like I would unlock my next outfit at 24, my hopes were up, big mistake. Whoever was in charge of hiding some of these things needs to die of brain cancer, and by that I mean, he's a jerk, and I dont wish him any harm.

I got over the idiotic Inventory system a long time ago, but the AI never ceases to amaze at how stupid it is, I swear, for one entire playthrough, The AI refused to use his guns except for when it absolutely needed to, I mean, he would stand there, in the middle of 10 enemies, and stare at them.

Now you ask, what about the fun of Mercinaries mode? Surely you had some fun there!!

I got to 38,000 points in map 1 of mercinaries mode before I decided how much I hated it, the bosses are way to resilient, the enemies dont spawn nearly fast enough to allow large combos, ammo is way to hard to get, and 1 healing item?! What a joke...

Sadly, this game keeps drawing me back, for some masochistic reason, I keep playing it.


If you have a 360, want resident evil 5, and live in the US, Preferably the East Coast, Send me an email, if my best friend doesnt want it, I might send it to you, otherwise I'm burning this fucking disk.

Yeah that game made me foam at the mouth to the point I thought a parasite was going to pop out. Really annoying and not fun in some parts. The only redeeming factor was fighting the super tribal people...then that got lame in five minutes.

Or you could trade it in and get some money towards a new game.

Or sell it to get some cash back, instead of just throwing your money away.

2 controllers have died because of that game.
This controller was with me for...must be 3 years now, so many memories, I am currently working on fixing it, I love my pokemon sticker'd controller, and I swore I'd never hurt it again.

The only part of RE:5 that ever got me frustrated was 5-3 where you get separated from your partner and all those lickers spawn. That part of the game hates players.

that part is actually quite easy, just shoot them off the wall as they climb and they cant hurt anyone.

Yeah, but I was an idiot at first and tried to go through the section myself, and with nowhere near enough ammo to handle them all, meaning I would always get killed. The game works so much better when you don't have to rely on the AI.

Once you've beaten it once and gotten unlimited ammo on a weapon it's a cakewalk, though. Even on the hardest setting.

Mines are beyond repair.

Once it bounced off the wall and was stamped on, it was a gonner. COD almosted claimed its thrid victim until i destroyed it, haha.

Wierd tho, no other games pisses me off as much as COD.

Its pretty fun with another person, but as you say with the 'tacked on at the last minute' AI it is utter dog shit.
