Holy Fuck, could Resident Evil 4 be the best game of 2005?

<< < (5/5)

i guess that i just totally don't get it.  all the way through the intro i was thinking "man, this is heavy-handed and lame", then when i got into the game the controls sucked.  and guys, i'm not saying that he should be an action hero.  i'm saying that even if i can't run around while shooting, not being able to even walk sideways while aiming still pisses me off.

this is from the first bad-guy, mind you.  he lunges at you with the axe?  i didn't want to shoot him, i wanted to take him out with the knife.  this is my major beef, guys: he's a fucking woodsman, and i'm a special agent.  in other survival horror stories you're just some dude, so i can totally understand not being able to do jack-shit.  in RE4 you're a special freaking agent sent out to rescue the president's daughter.  i expect to be able to fuck shit up.  not necessarily in a super action way, just gimme things to do when a dude comes at me with a melee weapon (other than shooting them).

Odin:
You're also pretty much a rookie, though. The only reason Leon was part of that special agent group at all was because he managed to survive Racoon City on a fluke.

As to ammo concerns, everything in the game moves slowly enough to give you plenty of time to line up headshots (except El Gigantes and the guys with chainsaws/claws).

I haven't completed the game yet, having only got it this past weekend, but it's really not that difficult. First RE game I've ever played, despite being somewhat familiar with the timeline/story from reading various reviews of the other games on the internet.

That said, I'm a bit more partial to Shadow of the Collossus or God of War.

No real reason, I just enjoyed those games more. RE4 is more of a "I shelled out $30 for this, by God I'm going to complete it" thing. Though I do enjoy the rather comedic reactions you get from the random monks in the Castle when you shoot their heads off or shotgun blast them in the crotch.

I've completed Resident Evil 4 some time ago on the gamecube. It's very next-gen and the controls are very responsive. Recently bought the PS2 version and finish that too and Ada's Seperate Ways is definitely worth your time. Although graphics may not be gamecube quality, the ps2 version still stands on it's own in terms of extras. The movie theatre mode is quite cool. The whole 'no strafe' thing is compensated by a quick turn around. Screenplay could have been better though. But best game of 2005 has to be Snake Eater. Story and interactivity not to mention the replay value and hidden secrets is astounding. :)

Qui Gon Zel:
....Snake Eater came out in November 2004.

Wind:
Ah, so so.

While it brings back Leon Kennedy. The villians and plot are way too out there.

And its mixed Anti then Pro, then Anti, the Pro American themes kinda send me a mixed message.
