Resident Evil 5

So who can't wait for Resi Evil 5's arrival on Friday?

Not seen as much of a buzz for it online as I initially anticipated but I think the general consensus regarding the demo hasn't been as hot as Capcom thought it would be.

Personally, I can't afford it, but even if I could, I'd probably wait for a price drop or two as from things I've read, I think it really needs to be played co-op rather than single player.

I've had it on pre-order for months, but the demo is particularly lacklustre and awkward to play. The inventory system is overly clunky (especially when you want to swap weapons quickly). I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt though and hope they've made it more playable since then. Otherwise it'll be a quick complete and sell it on.

Yeah, I didn't like the demo too much which is a shame as I loved the RE series on the original PS.

STARRRRSSSS

Not even played the demo yet, but I'm really looking forward to playing it at some point. Like Jen though I simply can't afford it at the moment so I'll look to get it in a few weeks after the inevitable tons of pre-owned copies start appearing on shelves.

Same as everyone else, can't afford it and will get it at a later date and do co-op with Kitten.

On the strength of the demo I have cancelled my pre-order. It looks good and gives you a real gritty feel but I think as said above, it feels a heavy game in terms of inventory and combat. Something I think I would get easily frustrated with.

I think he was a centre half for Norwich City in the mid 90s.
