just started replaying this for the first time in ten years. played from 1-1 to 3-2 in one sitting. probably finish it tomorrow. damn, it's 1:45am but i might go play it now.
re4 is such a fucking great game. the pacing, the money/gun upgrade system, the sexy reload animations.
fucking brilliant
i am erect for re0's cheerleader rebecca. bring it on
>>321994463
Although I dont really mind Sheva, I think RE5 wouldve been vastly improved without the forced co-op, takes away much of the tense atmosphere
Also the enemies in 5 are kinda just generic oogabooga zombies wherein 4 they were actually entertaining and fun to fight

>boring shooting
It has some of the best shooting in any game. You feel the impact of each shot through sound/visuals, enemies clearly react to being hit, and it might be the only game that makes every shot count, since each bullet has the potential to trigger a damaging melee attack
>QTE
What was bad about the QTEs in this game? They are only bad in games where you don't expect them to pop up, like the first uncharted. You expect them in RE4, so its fine

Does this game have the best pacing of all time? I can easily beat it in one sitting without ever getting bored.

Pretty much, I had to stop myself from getting sucked into replaying it again so i could play other games

Doesn't hold a candle to RE1-3 though ;)

"I guess I can play a bit more..."
"Shit why is it 4am"
>>321995051
Worse combat, worse pacing. RE4 also gave the player just the right amount of ammo/healing items, while in DS2 everyone always runs around with a full inventory
>still goat
tried playing it a month ago
it was unplayablei played the fuck out of it 11 years ago
>>321993079
its pretty good but I take re2 and remastered over it.
>>321995468
>unplayable
How?
>>321995418
Depends on what difficulty you play. I never had a full inventory that I can recall on survivalist onward. Anything easier than survivalist was kind of boring, though I've lost my edge so I probably couldn't even play on that difficulty anymore... Honestly, I disagree with your assessment, but I can't actually back my position up without doing more research than I want to.
How did we go from running away from boulders to punching them?
Dead Space was better
TE VOY A ROMPER A PEDAZOS
>>321996823
you are right, I recently played it and dead space 2 on survival difficulty is much harder, everything becomes more scarce, melee becomes important but most importantly ammo conservation with the kinesis/limb strategy is a must, there is also the fact that you can only save the game 3 times.
>>321994654
The only good thing about RE5 is that insanely satisfying 3 barrel shotgun.
>>321995051
Dead Space 2 has so many fucking recycled and repetitive environments though. I had to drop it because I was flat out bored of the levels. There's no reward for explooration and shit either. You wind up just mindlessly following the quest objective path. Felt like I wasn't even progressing in any meaningful way. At least RE4 is exciting almost all the way through.
>>321997315
That's "Hard Core" mode...
>>321997621
Honestly the Castle, the biggest area of the game, bores the hell out of me. I can enjoy it more than I used to, but it's pretty boring still. Maybe I just don't care for cultist monks and Wolverine monsters. I do enjoy the short part in the sewers, though, and the mines. I don't recall that many recycled areas at all in DS2. Maybe one or two, but no more. Could you refresh my memory?
>>321998408
oh must got the names confused then, platinum the game about week ago.
Best 3rd person action game on the market. Ask gears of war creator who said it was his influence. Many games owe their existence to this game
>>321998408
I didn't even finish Dead Space 2. There were just so many samey-looking corridors and boring ass hallways on that fucking space station. I played it up to the point where you go to the cultist's headquarters and get "betrayed" by that blonde bitch and just lost the will to continue.

I played it on Gamecube and I remember being blown away by the graphics, they were great for the time and ill bet they still hold up. I'm going to fire it up here in a few and start a new game.

The graphics don't really hold up anymore, especially if you're playing the SD version on am HDTV, but they're not glaringly bad, either.
>>321999553
RE4 was super influential, but there's a lot of games that are mechanically way, way better than it and are trying the same thing.
A whole lot of subpar action and "good pacing" doesn't make "the best action game of the last decade".
>>321999895
you had one job senpai
>>321993079
played pc ver with keyboard and it feel clunky as fuck, make me wondering how the hell i finished this game years ago (in ps2). is controller a must for this game (didn't have xbox controller and to lazy to get around it so didn't try it yet) or the pc version just suck so i should just emulate the ps2 version (which work with my logitech controller)?
>>321995418
>Worse combat
If you are talking mechanics, you are crazy. RE4 is extremely inventive with the design of each room and area, whipping up one-off scenarios one after another. That is a fantastic achievement to be revered.
>worse pacing
Maybe within the context of the previous point, going from one-on-one hustles with the sewer bugs to the onslaught that is water room. But DS2 never sags like RE4 does throughout the island.
>full inventory
That's both, RE4 just has a bigger inventory. Both chuck treats at you depending on what you are lacking.
>>321999553
I can name a dozen games that have better level design (it's not hard to beat a corridor at that), have better shooting and movement controls, and don't even attempt to throw at me inane puzzles just to have them there.
Any recent game by Platinum, any recent third person shooter that wasn't a corridor fest, Dark Souls, the list goes on and on.
What's the best version for PC using keyboard + mouse, I downloaded a version once and it was appalling with keyboard and mouse.
Any suggestions?
>>321995051
Even worst story than RE4
>>322000119
>That is a fantastic achievement to be revered.
You're kidding right? A corridor and set pieces are a "fantastic achievement to be revered"? Every single game does that holy shit.
>>322000290
Not every game does it like RE4
Coming from someone who played it for the first time like 2 months ago. Even Dead Space while borrowing alot pales when it comes to thinks like pacing and level design.
>>322000159
Emulate wii version, but it trivializes the game in a bad way.
>>322000125
>I can name a dozen games that have better level design
wew lad
>>322000290
Within a very restrictive set of mechanics, the game keeps coming up with unique scenarios every time you hit a loading screen. Just in the first hour or so, the mob fight in the village, the farm, the trap central with the dynamite chuckers, the canyon, all play completely differently. And it just keeps going.
>>321993079
I played 1 (somewhat), played 2 multiple times and loved it, played 3 and it was ok
is 4 really that good? also how is it on PC ?

Fuck these Sony faggots. Go play Revelations 2 at 10 fps on the Vita.
>>322002042
it runs fine but 4 is completely different game compared to the first 3, some people love it others not so much.
>>322002042
It's a big departure from the classics. The recent PC port is the only one that runs at 60 fps, making it the ultimate version, albeit with some minor visual glitches. You might want to check out REmake, which too got a decent port.

>it runs fine but 4 is completely different game compared to the first 3
>It's a big departure from the classics.
you mean the aiming right? because from videos I saw over the years it seemed very similiar to RE 1-3.
Also I know zombies are not zombies but a host for some parasite, doesnt bother me
>>321995004
>You expect them in RE4, so its fine
No you fucking don't. The dodge QTE and button mashing sequences maybe, but the random QTEs in cutscenes come out of nowhere with no warning.
>>322002937
the game heavily focused on the action while the older games rely more heavily on the atmosphere and the sense progress with the puzzles.
>>322003124
RE2 is just as action oriented as RE4.
>>322003189
no where near as much.
>>322002937
>you mean the aiming right?
That's a massive change, even though the movement is actually identical to previous games. There is also little backtracking and puzzle solving, and ammo is never an issue.
>>321995032
>Mikami created DMC, God Hand, and RE4 in a six year span
Has there ever been as great a run for a video game developer? All of those are arguably the GOAT of their genre.
>>322003189
No it isn't, don't be ridiculous. It has shooting and enemies, but combat is very simple and tame. RE4 throws you into somewhat open levels where enemies come at you from all sides and pursue you aggressively. You have to manage crowds, you have to constantly switch between weapons for different enemy match ups and the enemies themselves are much more complex and varied. Every level in the game is designed with that sort of frantic combat in mind. The game's also very linear and devoid of exploration, which isn't true for RE2 which has plenty of areas that you slowly explore.
>>321994654
I'm still convinced the game went through drastic changes because of the racism controversy. I'm still convinced we could have gotten a vastly different and much better game had people been mature for once. The first few articles and that video definitely led people to believe the game was going to be very different from what actually came out.
>>322003189
>>322003647
It's impossible to run out of ammo in RE2 and game wants you to shoot and kill everything in sight.
>>322003839
That doesn't mean it's just as action-oriented, that just means they made sure that even retards can beat the game.

I have no idea, I just found it more entertaining to play.
I found Operations Raccoon City to be shite too, btw.
>>322000403
But the level design in RE4 is literal garbage.
It's just a single fucking corridor, beginning to end, save for some very very very small backtracking in the first area.
>>322004570
good gameplay.i only played mercenary
>>322004691
>I found Operations Raccoon City to be shite too
I think that was already the consensus.
>>321993079
It just nailed the formula at the right time, and had a neat atmosphere still unique to itself.
RE5 was great too, but followed too much in 4's footsteps but-painted-Africa (also it not being as wonderfully nuts as the early trailers with hundreds swarming you), and I can't properly gauge 6 still but the heavily mixed reviews already make me wary.

Yeah, RE6 has good combat mechanics.
That the game never fucking explains ANYWHERE.
And then it keeps taking those mechanics away from you and making you drive vehicles.
Mercs is fun precisely because you just get to do the combat, which the game is good at.
>>322004726
No shit, it's an action game you dip. The level design's not going to be as good as it would be in a game that's focused on exploration and back tracking, nor does it need to be. On a micro level though the level design is pretty damn fantastic, especially the village and castle areas. There are so many details and thought put into the enemy placement and arena layout, so many elements in the environment you can use to your advantage in a gunfight and so many possible strategies.

I can't believe real people are posting this.
I just played this game a month ago. You're spouting complete bullshit. The set pieces have some of the most predictable developments I've ever played in my life. Making you flip three switches by going in a straight line doesn't make good design. When I say the design is linear, it's linear even within the set pieces you're presented. You don't even get to explore the very small room you're presented.
Is it a bad game? Not at all, and it was super influential. Is it "the best action game of the last decade" or whatever that anon is constantly jerking off about in this thread? No fucking way.

get good, you probably stopped playing because you kept dying and got spooped by the Del Lago
>>322005556
Are you seriously going to tell me that areas like the village or the part right after you meet the merchant aren't well designed? All of them are somewhat open environments with lots of different elements you can exploit, like buildings with several entrances, ladders, traps, etc. Enemies come at you from all sides so you actually have to use those elements to manage crowds so you don't get overwhelmed. It all feels very natural and adds to the tense feeling of the game.
>>322005729
Linear shooting is bad unless it's on-rails. Hallways are not fun, they're easy. That's why they're so common now.

RE4 is very much not a Resident Evil game. At least, not as it was known at that time. A RE in the old style that was mostly corridors would be terrible, yes, but the series underwent a genre change in the transition to 4. It abandoned puzzles and item collecting-- it stopped being survival-horror-- and rebranded itself as an action game. Remember that DMC was the original vision for the game.
