what is there not to love about RE4? name me some of its flaws. The only thing that could have been better are the controls, I am not a big fan of the tank like controls but that's how every RE game is so meh

Ya know, if ToS wins comfortably over RE5 in a night match, I'll feel a bit better about Fire Emblem against WWF in a day match.

Controls aren't bad at all. They suit the game perfectly. Unlike RE5, which takes far too much advantage of superior technology and puts a million enemies onscreen at once, which makes it less fun.

*shoot head*
*roundhouse kick*

repeat until you beat the game

It gets kind of bland after a while

There needed to be many more sections like the house defense, that was awesome

RE4 is one of those games I'll never get the love for. I played it on PS2 for like an hour or two, and hated the controls, and I'm not a fan of survival horror games to begin with, so I was getting all freaked out playing it, and that wasn't fun.

The controls are very functional, definitely not a flaw. They could have been better though, still never got in my way of enjoying the game.

I just check my winner choices and I missed one so far, I can never get a perfect run. That's the only reason I do this too I don't know why but I just wanna try and get all them right just once. RB2 beat Deus EX I didn't expect that cause I remember people always mentioning it before when talking about great games.

re4 controls are good deal better than other RE games.. IMO the best version to play is the wii version.. I enjoyed the GC version, but the wii was just so much more fun.. You can perform everything faster.

Resident Evil is worse in the day. Tales of Symphonia is better in the day. RE5 defintely does NOT want a day match with Tales of Symphonia.

RE4 is definitely one of the best games ever released. It doesn't rank in my top 10, but I really can't say anything negative about it. It's so polished that I can safely compare it to Half-Life 2 and not feel disgusted with myself.

NoDicePwn | Posted 10/25/2010 9:31:04 PM | message detail
The original RE4 (Devil May Cry) is the far superior game, in my opinion. Since you know, the controls are actually workable and you get to go crazy just killing stuff instead of worrying about a horror part of it and lame controls that won't do what you want.

I just noticed I have Tales of Symphonia beating not only RE5, but God of War. Unless God of War really stinks it up, I'm not looking in good shape.

ToS doesn't have this in the bag quite yet. RE5 got close to winning an update.... hmmmm.....

As long as ToS wins, it should wreck havoc among brackets.

Assuming this match follows DS/MM9 trends, RE5 will end at around 47%. Not bad, especially if Tales goes on to have a good Round 2.

DMC (and games similar to that) are horrible. So repetitive and it's mostly flash/special effects. Not a lot of meat to those types of games. I'm saying this after playing DMC3, DMC4, God of War, God of War 2, and Ninja Gaiden. They were all mediocre at best.

That 3 seed should give it a lot of support it wouldn't otherwise get.

Horror or not, the tension's gonna be what gets me. I can barely play the MGS-games (love 'em though). If it controls like RE1, then that's going to doubly suck!

I have yet to play DMC, to be fair.

But if it's anything like Bayonetta I'll steer clear of it. And RE4 isn't scary at all, that's your problem and not the game's.

I'm kind of like that Greyfeld guy in that way. I don't like stuff leaping out at me and making me jump, or all kinds of sounds all around me making me paranoid someone is getting ready to attack me, and RE4 had both of those things in spades when I played it for a few hours. I was too scared to go around even looking for collectibles cuz I was worried I'd get attacked without knowing. Its part of the reason I'm not a fan of FPS... I don't like being attacked without knowing which direction its coming from or who's attacking me, and RE4s camera angle does that same thing to me.

It controls mostly like the other RE games, but the camera works different so the controls actually make some sense now.
XIII_rocks | Posted 10/25/2010 9:38:53 PM | message detail
Yeah, original RE controls are rubbish, but... give RE4 the same controls but a camera angle shift and suddenly they're great, and work perfectly fine.

I gave up on my bracket the moment I realized that the contest wasn't being put on Gamespot....aka, as soon as the contest started. My bracket has RE5 winning but it also has a lot of other things that I didn't really think about, cause I had meant to come back to it later, which I never did. My entire ability to win rests on the battle challenge. My life sucks.
