Well, lets see some of the points they listed.

GameCube exclusive for most of 2005

That is a *good* thing?

Anticipated next installment in the Resident Evil franchise

Who'd thunk with a game title like that?

Embark on an epic adventure to save the President's kidnapped daughter

Tom Clancy just phoned, he wants his shitty plot back.

Rated M for a reason: extreme violence and gore

"We at ESRB hand out M ratings for no fucking reason at all.

"

Runs in progressive scan mode

Goddamn liberals are taking over our games and how we view them.

You shouldn't trust a review site after it gave 9.0 to a golf game.

I dont really understand survival horror. For some reason it always means shit spawns behind you or comes out of nowhere etc. Thats neither survival or horror. Its just as startling as a dark room full of people shouting "SUPPRISE!".

They should make a game where you're actiully trying to survive in a city full of zombies. No Jack-in-the-box crap, just hordes and hordes of zombies. Closest thing I've seen was some zombie game with retarded ai, that knew where you were even through walls etc. But the sound was really excellent. I barricaded myself in some hidden room, trying to figure out where to go, and I could hear 'them' moaning and walking around outside. Really fucking nerving.

Score one for GC owners!

I've never really liked survival horror, though RE4 looks like it does away with a lot of the bad things about the genre. Anyway, I've preordered it so I should have it next week sometime.
I also like the fact that the game is reportedly quite long but without much backtracking.

So.. what the hell is that supposed to mean?

Maybe it costs more to scan if you're richer... Like progressive tax.

Although RE vol 2 was enjoyable.

IF you have some HDTV and some component cables for the gamecube you can run it at a much sharper rate or something. All i heard is that it looks real good. Pretty much all gamecube games have the capablity.

Ya, and im getting RE4 since its one of the few titles thats rated M and is an AAA title, on the gamecube. The GC also gets it for most of the year so maybe the gamecube will start doing good in the sales chart?

I agree.. SH was more enjoyable for me. But I suppose it's a matter of taste..

People who play survival horror games haven't any taste to begin with.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 10:46 pm

Sometimes I like to play them just for the puzzles. Choosing very easy action level and hardcore puzzle level makes up a rather good puzzling game (alÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¡ late 80's text adventures).

RE's puzzle are so tough

It's sarcasm, by the way. I'm warning you so no assholes come and bitch about me being stupid or something.

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 1:16 am

It's not so much that the puzzles are hard, they just don't make any fucking sense. I like the RE games - the GameCube versions are just so very pretty - but the ridiculous puzzles seriously turn me off at times.

They're not as bad as you make them appear.

And since when did that stop us from trying to solve them? Gobliiins anyone?

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 2:32 pm

I think SH2 and 3 had fairly logical, although hard puzzles. The kind that keep you busy for an hour after hour and when you finally solve it, you get that "Of course! Why didn't I get that earlier?" -feeling which makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

SH combat is the most retarded and poorly executed thing in a game, I think, ever.

I kinda liked the real Resident Evils, the spin offs were pretty intensely shitty. This one has supposedly gone the 28 days later zombie route and has them all moving fast and infected with some sort of "roid rage virus." Eh. Maybe it'll be good? My brother will buy it and I'll play it.
