State your unpopular video game opinion...

I wish they would stop making Resident Evil games.

I can see why some people who I guess we can call hardcore gamers would want both so that they don't miss out on any exclusives, but video games are NOT cheap. a brand new game is $60, and I don't care who you are (I guess unless you're a millionaire lol), that is expensive. It is a lot of money to spend, and it is ONE brand new game. Add another to your purchase and you're already spending over $100, AGAIN.

You're young so its understandable why you may feel that way but you don't have to be a millionaire to not consider $60 expensive. For someone with a career and/or decent job, that's really a small amount especially if you aren't buying a whole bunch every month. I budget my gaming purchases, primarily bc I don't play them enough anymore to go out and spend the most on day one, but $60 on one title isn't expensive. Wait till you graduate college and have a steady salary. Unless you are horrible with managing money or have crazy expenses, games aren't likely to break the bank.

I wish they'd make better RE games.

I'll take that too lol

I wish RE games were the top of their genre and leading games overall, like they used to be for me.

I honestly think RE 4 helped in the short term, but ultimately hurt the series in the long run. My personal favorites were the original and Code Veronica and I want more of that.

I think that's true for me even though it's one of the highest regarded games.

I would have liked RE4 better if it wasn't a RE game. It had almost nothing to do with RE besides having Leon. Then it shot off into a totally different playstyle and operation than the previous games.

It could have been called Resident Evil but had a subtitle that led to a different series. Calling it 4 killed off the direction of the 3 great games before it. 5 was still good but 6 is what happens when they aren't really sure which to do any more.

Edit.

 

[Iceman]

band of brothers, what the hell is that lol

and yeah dude, i don't think any 2 people on this planet even friggin identical twin will ever agree on anything. it's when you start declaring your opinion as fact or treat others harshly for their opposing opinions, that things start to get problematic. you know what i'm sayin

Haha. I mean it's not about having your buddy's back here, it's just discussion. But you seem to get that anyway by what you just posted so it's cool.

Btw your posts have improved a hell of a lot from a week or 2 ago, good job!

Gotta wonder how ****ed up the RE world is though. Between the insane viruses that seem to be created by plants, ancient fossilized monsters that can be brought back to life without too much trouble and giant corporations making crazy monsters like candy, it's a wonder they haven't nuked the planet yet.

I would not like to live there! I wish this hadn't all gone a bit wrong as I like having all the history and multiple different types of horrific weirdness within the same universe. And I like the way the characters interlinked.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

I thought RE 5 was weak.

 

[Iceman]

I thought RE 5 was weak.

Many did. I thought it was fine and enjoyable as a general game (although had some horrible gameplay elements) but not a great RE title. I loved the setting though.

 

[Jick]

That's one of the things I disliked the most. Don't take me to Africa again, Capcom.

Nowhere is safe in RE. You go to a random city, zombies and infected animals, you try a random island in the middle of the ocean, there's an outbreak, you take a cruise, **** goes down, you go to ANTARCTICA! Still happens.

to me, RE CV will always be the true RE 4

Why even try and stay alive? It's hopeless!

 

[KevanG]

Not as long as you have some tenuous connection to the main characters. You'll be an asskicker in no time! Unless you get infected and have to have a sad scene where you get put down before you become a danger to the group and your final act is to give them important info/keys/plot armor/ect.

 

[Iceman]

No I mean why do the characters even want to stay alive in that terrible place!

 

[KevanG]

Because they like shooting things?

I'd also assume that they enjoy the fact everywhere they go explodes.

I'm not that young man, I'm nearing my mid 20s. I hope what you're saying (the good things) about me one day becomes true but perhaps my standard of living ain't as high as the average man's, but $60 is a lot of money, any way you look at it.

If we're on the topic of owning multiple consoles it's not just that even; you'd be inclined to purchase more games by having more platforms. which means having even more time consumed up even by video games by just having more of them. AND be divided on which version of a multiplatform game to get... unless, like I said in the Ps4 vs xbone thread, if multiplatform games just had 1 version of the physical copy without a playstation or xbox banner on it and the disc would work on both Ps4 and Xbone consoles.

your friend who bought the game but has a different console would still be able to lend it out to you if you wanted it. like blu ray discs... they'd be working on any blu ray player.

word of course it's just the thing is most forums i've been to they really tear you to shreds sometimes. it's really pathetic and annoying. so when i see hints of that here and there on SHH! it really pisses me off, especially since this place is supposed to promote...friendliness? lol

and thanks man i'm a man of my word. no cursing (so far), no extremism, and that was the 2 complaints yeah? i'm still on some people's ignore lists tho

however, i'm thinking i might take a huge break from visiting SHH! so much. i'm like addicted to posting and its costing me study time. i deactivated my facebook, this is the only other place on the internet where i devote a lot of my (valuable) free time to.

If RE4 "hurt" the RE series, I wish it would get hurt much more often.
