Zero Punctuation: Resident Evil 5

[sshplur]

Haven't laughed since the Prince of Persia retrospective thing. Awesome review.

 

[Elomin Sha]

I can't watch this episode for some reason. Help. I need my weekly Yahtzee.

 

[tomsymonds]

Perfect review. Exactly how I felt about Re4 and Re5.

 

[Metalrocks]

so you think the controls are good? would you play max payne with no strafing?[/quote]

That's like saying would you play chess with out extra lives.

What has Max Payne got to do with Resident Evil in the slightest?
Resident evil has always been 'stationary' to shoot, it adds to the tension.
Do you really think all the resident evil games so far would have scored fantastically and been such a huge hit if people wanted strafing?

Its like the difference between a FPS like Call of Duty and Age of Empires.

oh man, are you straight minded or just beeing stupid? RE 4 and RE 5 are third person shooter. max payne was a exsample. or what do you call RE 4 then?? action adventure??? WRONG. ITS A ACTION SHOOTER. you see from behind the main character. if they make RE in to a third person shooter then the controls should be suited for it and not like in the older RE parts were it doesnt matter. i dont complain if you cant walk sideways in RE 1,2 or 3, because it doesnt work there.
would you play a FPS with these controls like in RE 4 or 5 or a third person shooter??? standing there like an idiot, no strafing and shoot wile aiming??? i dont think so.

if RE 4&5 would be made like all the other REs, then it would be more or less ok. unless they would have made it like in dino crisis were you can aim and walk at the same time.

so if you still dont understand the point, i better dont start to waste my time.

Congratulations on failing to make a point what so ever.

0/10 would snore again.

I actually made two points. Since your comprehension skills can't grasp the concept of subtlety, let me spill out the one that concerned you:

It's ridiculous calling out fanboys, when you're a fanboy that has contributed nothing but snarky -often insulting and/or condescending- remarks based on your "fanboyism".

Clearer now?

Guess you better learn how to quote first.

First lets check out the scores for Resident evil 4, average of 9.6 out of 10 from 55 different review sites/magazines.

Whats this i see? not one mention of bad controllers in any of the 55 reviews! what a surprise.

Guess it must really suck, wouldn't have much tension either if you could just side step all those infected villagers..whats next you want regenerating health and a rock sound track to match all your other 'shooters'.

Well i guess if you can't comprehend something or rather ANYTHING different then IT SHOULDA BEEN DINOCRISIS HURRRR DURRR, then you will just have to miss out.

Oh by the way i love wasting your time because you are so honestly completely backwards retarded its funny :3

<3

P.S

I better dont start to waste my time

What does that even mean?

"Fanboy is a term used to describe any individual who is devoted to a single subject"

Who would this be? because all i can see is you defending some one who doesn't even know you exists or give a crap :3

I suggest getting some sleep for school tomorrow.

 

[Treblaine]

But when people start associating personalities with races (ie, "acting black") then that is racism and there are not enough hours in the day for that bullshit.

there are not enough hours in the day for that bullshit.

So there needs to be more hours in the day for racism?

That's what your saying?

Nice one.

Err, NO. Are you a troll or are you just an idiot who can't understand basic grammar?

It is obvious to everyone - except you - that I consider racism a waste of time and holding us back! What in the world made you think I want to have more racism or any at all? And how the hell do you add more hours to the day... slow down the rotation of the earth!?!? That is just down right stupid and have you NEVER heard the expression "there are not enough hours in the day for..."?

You are most definitely a troll taking quotes out of context (like excluding the part where I said I didn't care about black/white/male/female/etc) and then concluding something which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I said.

Yahtzee is great but there are some real assholes in his forums.

Nice try but the saying "Not enough hours in the day for [insert word here]" i used for something good, example There are not enough hours in the day for video games.

The way you used it made little or rather no sense what so ever.

:3 Enjoy.

"Capcom aren't bad people there just idiots"

I have now got the impression that any game made by Capcom is going to EPICLY FAIL unless some other brilliant company comes along and buys the rights from them before they can fuck it up. I played the RE5 demo, and it REALLY pissed me off, so i cant imagine how pissed off i'd be if i'd actually bought the game. Both Capcom's name and logo makes them look like they should still be creating games for the PS1. If a company like Epic Games for example, came along, games like RE5 and Lost Planet would be much more sucessful. I just don't think Capcom is cut out to make horror or shooter games.

Resident Evil 5 is already pretty successful.

And please don't write things if you have no idea what you are talking about. Capcom have made some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_vs._Capcom:_Clash_of_Super_Heroes] really [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onimusha_3] good [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_3] games [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_May_Cry_3].

 

[LordSnakeEyes]

So you didn't enjoy

Killzone 2
Madworld
Persona 4
Skate 2

Whats not to like about Street Fighter IV?

Whats to like about it? No, I didn't like Killzone 2 or Skate 2, My Ps2 died on me and I need a new one, and Madworld sounded kind of bland the day SCE Studios Santa Monica told me of their Zipper technology, and no-ones been able to tell me a strength beyond the gore.

Strengths include being the only good beat 'em up since god hand.

That and a great stylized art direction.

There are heaps of games that are good, stop trying so hard to hate them all.

I'm not - I said I've really enjoyed Flower, Savage Moon and Noby Noby Boy. My highlights from last year include MGS4, Resistance 2, Valkyria Chronicles and LittleBigPlanet. I just haven't found anything released in disc form that I especially liked since January 1st.

And I'm not exactly weaping with joy over the next big beat-em-up. I'm more into a pair of good ol' blades, attached to the most awesome character in gaming ever, and some of the best gameplay, level design, mechanics and just all around godliness ever seen.

Wow... You sound like you're waiting for God Of War 3.

Ah, yeah, that comment completely made your case. I bow to your superior intellect that has to insultingly call me "immature" to stand for one second without getting shred to bits.

By the way, I'm not defending Yahtzee. Which I never indicated I did to begin with, but since that's not very clear to you either, just thought I'd throw it out there.

"Fanboy is a term used to describe any individual who is devoted to a single subject"

Like someone so devoted to a single game that fucks up an entire topic without as much as proposing a solid discussion?

No, you're not a fanboy. Neither you nor your 20-something mature and articulated posts.

 

[jemborg]

What's up with the way he pronounces Bowie?

He's a Pom... Bowie's a Pom... perhaps he's actually got it right!

I have yet to see you comment out side of "LOL IRONY"

Which makes your post completely irrelevant, you still didn't explain how i am a fanboy.

inb4 more nonsense.

He's right again, whatever happened to Steve the Pirate Merchant?

All this trolling from you is getting unbearable, it is BLOODY OBVIOUS from how I structured my post that I consider racism and racial distinctions a waste of time, especially as I referred to racism as "bullshit".

You have to be really thick to think the phrase "there are not enough hours in the day for X" is only for things that are desirable yet time consuming, it ALSO applies for things that we are burdened with and waste a lot of time and effort.

It is becoming increasingly obvious you read through my post and just found one part that you could manipulate into something to ridicule another forum member. Textbook troll activity. Either that or you are a monumental idiot with zero subtlety or perception.

Why can't the mods get on your ass and ban you for good, you are causing nothing but trouble in these forums, spending half your time trying to twist posts into something controversial yet idiotic.

Cool your jets, i have only argued valid points.

If i am such an 'obvious' troll then why feed me? surly you would know that..

sigh, people these days can get so uptight over the smallest things like using a phrase in the wrong situation.

D'aww :3

 

[300lb. Samoan]

OK, you've got me there... I guess I'm too picky. Or maybe I'm just stupid and missing out on some good games. Maybe if I play counter-strike for another 10 years I'll start getting good at it...

[/quote]

I swear I was being serious. Looking back, it seems pretty dumb that I've spent 10 years playing counter-strike and I really do suck ass at it. I've probably missed a ton of great games just because I hadn't yet mastered my favorite.

But now that's all cured because I'm stuck on TF2, and it's soooooo much better, and I don't completely suck at it. But i have nightmares... about them damn trigger-happy soldiers... leeching my resources... precious metals.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

New topic: remember how much fun it was to run around killing all the scientists in Goldeneye? how come you can't kill the NPCs in games without getting punished anymore?
