Having played resi evil 5, and completing it 4 times already (with the help of me mate ofc. Sheva has about as much brain power as a cheese sandwich) i have to admit, the game is heavily flawed.
My first complaint is the A.i; As mentioned Sheva is bloody next to useless 99% of the time. Secondly, the series is no longer scary. No zombie dogs bursting out of windows, no zombie crows chasing me down wanting to nibble my manly bits. The guys with chain saws are the equivalent of bullet sponges. The parasite infected locals are rarely a threat, unless they get up close n personnel. Wheres the atmospheric music? i dont even remember hearing any :/
I used to shit bricks on R.E: nemesis, when i heard "STARS!" i used to run like hell, in a vain attempt to run away from dire tenticle rape.
Thirdly, you fall over ammo and health every two feet. like you've invaded a supermarket chemist. The inventory system has gone backwards, with the ability to hold 9 items at a time, some items stacking, where as most don't.
Q.T.E still pop up when u wouldnt expect them too, then you won't see another one for at least another 2 hours. Oh, and Wesker comes across as the biggest twat known to man, with his psuedo-Duke Nukem gayness, and his complete inability to kill zomeone without telling them his finely planned global domination routine right down to every fullstop.
So, to be quite honest, i'd much rather have R.E 4's gameplay, set in R.E 2's scenario. running around Racoon city, blowing zombies apart.
