Resident Evil 5 - Page 4

RE4 on Gamecube is one of the best games of all time. Got the Wii version but still not played it yet :/

You were right before Davey, it must have been a 1 off with Gameplay delivering only on a Friday after getting into bother. Ordered Resident Evil 5 LE off them and it arrived today all well and good.

Good to know they're back on form, I'll hopefully be ordering Mafia 2 from them as it's one of the few games coming up I really really want (assuming it's as good as the original anyway).

NokkonWud · 12-03-2009, 15:49

I doubt it'll be as good as the original, which, whilst I never got away with, was incredibly highly regarded. I just don't see a massive amount of effort being put into the second one when the first didn't do amazingly well.

But definitely happy with the Gameplay service there, might think about ordering from them again, them or ShopTo for me every time. I just wish Gameplay would go back to the cardboard boxes... they were badass.

What a stunningly beautiful game this is, caught me a little by surprise. The resolution and sharpness of the textures and the neatness of the Normal maps is superb, reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 4 in terms of how 'clean' it is.

The controls however are not that great at all, where there is no option to re-map them yourself is beyond me! Seems to be the flaw in most Asian developed games.

Yeah the control type options are a pain. I remember when I played it at the preview, we quit out by accident and when we got back in the control type had reset to a different one than they'd obviously set us up with initially.
Surprisingly awkward to figure out as nothing felt as natural as it should have!

Playing the demo, the only annoying thing is not moving and shooting. Other than that, the demo was good. Brother wants the full game, i'm not so sure with the controls.

NokkonWud · 12-03-2009, 21:42

Well, after 3 stages, despite my annoyance at the controls I am absolutely loving this game. The environments are stunning, battles intense and the weapons meaty. Superb.

I know I should RTFM, but I'm picking up bits of plants here and have no idea what they do! One seems to heal. Would it be so hard the first time you pick up a shrub for it to say 'Through the power of homeopathy and coolness, this sapling will grant you la vida!'. Or something.

Green is health, but you can combine Green & Green for more health, Green & Red for full health and Green and Yellow for Poison IIRC.
