I don't think I can agree with you any more than I do right now. RE5 is the same way, if not more so. It was obvious just from the trailers, but I watched the cutscenes, read spoilers, etc. tihnking maybe i might be wrong. But I wasn't wrong, and it makes me glad I didn't fork over $50+ for a game I was gonna regret buying and wasting time and money on. I don't care about Merc mode. That seems to be the only thing people really like from the game and I couldn't care less about it. What I care about is the story and the characters. And Capcom has ruined both for the series. That's why I refuse to play anymore "RE" games. There's no redeeming themselves. People can hope all they want. Capcom just cares about one thing and that's money. Nothing more. Whatever genre's popular at the time, that's what they're gonna go with, cuz it sells. Its sad and I hate it, but its what I've come to realize and I know there's no way Capcom is gonna go back to its survival horror roots. sad

Sorry for the rant. It started as just a comment on monky's post and just grew from there. sweatdrop

Can I get an AMEN!?

Amen ha ha

You know, I always rip on the stupid enemy designs and how much Las Plagas suck.
But I don't know why I didn't add this to my argument... And it may be that I was actually lucky enough to forget about it for a while, but something made me remember.

The game, has ******** ROBOTS as enemies!
A game that says it's Resident Evil has little robot spider things, and small versions of flying Hunter-Killerss from Terminator ripoffs as enemies!
You can give me that, "Parasites are technically a Biohazard" crap, but with robots running and flying around... I think it's pretty clear that Mikami was just pulling enemy ideas out of his a** at that point. "What HAVEN'T we tried to put in RE4?" "Zombies?" "No zombies! Resident Evil isn't a zombie game!" "Uhh... sir?" "Robots! I'm brilliant! This game is gonna show what true survival horror is about!"
I mean seriously, was the ******** were they thinking?

I think they were thinking that since they the stupid noobish fans of RE were complaining so much they decide to cater to the 'It's too ******** scary' people. They thought robots would make them feel safer at night, that way they don't have nightmares and don't wet their pants. welcome to the new cnetury, the one where noobs will eventually rule the world with their stupid 'Mass Complaining'. Get ready people...*Brings out the anti-noob sniper rifle.* They're a coming and unless we go take the designers hostage they'll keep listening to the noobs.

There was that one part on the island, I think a little before fighting Krauser, there's these robotic spiders that attack you, and explode when you shoot them, so you have to kill them from a distance.
And at some points, these bigger, flying robots would come out, and they'd explode too. It was just one area.
I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it up.  

[Vankala]

No you didn't dream those up. I remember those too. I'd forgotten, but i remember now that you mention them.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Yeah, I don't know what made me remember that part, but it's pretty counterprogressive. Since it's a game I'm trying to forget.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, quite frankly, I'd consider myself lucky if I repressed it. Which I did, but I think catching a screenshot of Darkside Chronicles jogged my memory for some reason. Seein Krauser in a desert like setting, I think it was a desert, immediately made robots pop into my head.
Either way, to replay the game just to remember it... I mean, why? That's like rewatching Vanilla Sky because you can't remember how pretentious it was.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

First of all, no, maybe I'll never forget it. But until I was reminded, that robot part completely left my head. Even now, I had to second guess myself, and get a confirmation from Vankala, because it seems like a bad dream. I mean, dumb parasites are one thing, but I'm saying, "In Resident Evil 4, there are these robot spiders, and flying robot things that explode when you shoot them... Wait a second... That doesn't sound right, even for RE4."
So I'm definitely forgetting SOME things about it.

Second, I'm kinda hoping that with time, people are just gonna stop giving a s**t, and not discuss RE4 anymore. It's a lost cause I know, because people worship that game like it gave them their first orgasm, but still... People aren't exactly having big, detailed discussions about The Matrix. Did it do something new and cool for movies? Hell yeah, just by the sheer amount of bullet time parodies and 'homages' that it got. Kinda like RE4, having all the horror games and their mothers trying to do the over the shoulder thing. But the point is, ten years later, nobody really has long detailed discussions about The Matrix. Or even about how the sequels were a bit disappointing.

Anywho, I'm hoping that a few years down the line, people will stop talking about RE4, period.

Hoping against hope... such an endearing human trait, I'm touched... really.

I honestly don't think RE4 will ever NOT be on the talking table. It was, unfortunately, insanely popular with the masses. It's a moneymaker. Do I like that? Hell no, but I can choose not to care all that much. Except for Krauser. I like him.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, as long as people insist that "RE4 is the best thing to happen to survival horror" I will be there to knock them down on their dumb, noob asses.
Wherever someone says, "RE4 is scary" I'll be there with a copy of Silent Hill 3.
Wherever some idiot says, "Wanna shoot some zombies in RE4?" I'LL BE THERE, to kick them in the nuts/punch them in the tits!
I'll be there!!  

[Elaineybrainey]

I like playing resi 4. I don't HATE it but it's kinda a pointless game. Of course, loving re2 as much as i did i had to play it to see Ada. It's a fun game but it isn't scary... at all. And it isn't a zombie game.

You might as well play Call Of Duty because it has the same basic idea. Killing people with almost no sense of difficulty.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Except I'm pretty sure that in Call of Duty, if for whatever reason, the enemy soldier is out of ammo and wants to attack you at close range, he isn't gonna run up, stop 10 feet away from you and then slowly and sluggishly approach you before attacking.

It's pretty sad that parts of a T-Rated adventure game like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune can get more scary than any part of RE4.
