I never played a Resident Evil game before. Should I get this?

I never played a Resident Evil game before. Should I get this? Or RE5? I hear 5 was better, what say you /v/?
>>
Get 4, 4's a classic.
>>
>>343012112
4 is great but 5 is no slouch. And since it launches on the 28th you'll find plenty of people to co-opt it with.

I mean, Capcom is re-releasing them from 6 to 4. The order in which you play them hardly matters. Each feels like an isolated experience gameplay-wise.
>>

>>343012531
Forgot to mention 6. It's one of my favorite games ever, but heavily divisive among fans. I'd play it last out of 4, 5, and 6 if I were in your shoes. Not because it's bad, but you'll have a better time placing it once you've played 4 and 5 first.
>>
>>343012646
The only bad thing about Resident Evil 6 is the fact it's called "Resident Evil 6". Had it been released as an original IP, nobody would be bitching about it as much.
>>
>>343012112
6 is much better than 5.
>>
>>343013609
This.
>>
>>343012112
They're both extremely fun games, ESPECIALLY if your not that huge group of fags who played the earlier games and cry endlessly about positive change to keep a series with over 10 games from going stale
>>
>>343012112
Giraffe getting a blowjob etc. etc.
>>
>>343012112
skip 6
>>
>>343012112
get remake and re4 u stupid pile of shit
>>
>>343015539
Mmmmmm remake, has there ever been a more successful re telling of a story where every added part was actually better than the original untouched story?
>>
>>343015454
Get fucked. 6 has some of the best B.O.W. designs, the best controls, and the best Mercs to date.
>>
>>343013402
I would have liked it as a spin-off.
>>
>>343013402
nobody would be talking about it at all if it wasn't called re6
>>
Why is RE5 not on sale at all? Its still $20 while 6 is $7?
>>
I bet Capcom is going to release a bundle of 4-6 for each console/PC sooner or later.
>>
>>343016554

Mah nigga!

6

>Moar Ada ass.
>Leon because he needs to be in every game Ada is so he can be friend-zoned.
>Chris angsty because he let his men die.
>Wesker Jr. all according to plan.
>Sherry because where the fuck has she been this whole time?
>>
>>343016471

Man Joseph gets fucked up.

And Kenneth.

Why does everyone with a shoulder cam get their shit wrekt?
>>
>>343017205
I imagined it would've become a cult Japanese TPS like Vanquish or Binary Domain.
>>
>>343012112
Do people really only play resident evil games from 4 on? I get that 4 was good but yeesh.
>>
If this is your first RE, I'd suggest 5 out of those two. Way less to wrap your head around plot wise, and a good jumping on point. 6's plot is pretty reliant on knowing the character's histories.
>>
>>343017884
No, people like me who have played them all on release can love each and every one of them, it's just rare to find a thread which actually appreciates part 4 and on.

If your the majority that love only the old school resident evils, go have fun in any of the other pre part 4 circle jerk threads
>>
>>343018415
>part 4
>>
>>343018415
Cleary not the majority seeing as I was the first one to say anything remotely positive about 1-0 and got shit on immediately for it.
>>
>>343012112

Play them in this order:

>1
>2
>Remake
>4

Those are the ones you play.

I would recommend you play the REmake first if anything

I played it for the first time with the HD release and enjoyed the fuck out of it
>>
>>343018624
Congratulations for reading the first paragraph of my post, now read the second, thanks!
>>
>>343018823
>Not 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and REmake.
>>
Honestly, 4 was the best one hands down. In my opinion they get worse with each new game, but they're not bad games overall. I'm hoping 7 can return to a more unsettling atmosphere like in 4, instead of the action movie setting of 5 and 6.
>>
>>343012112

>MFW I bought the game that came with the original Weskers Report.

I'm 30 now and winter is coming.
>>
>>343019495
But isn't it great the the series can jump back and forth between these two genres so successfully keeping the series from becoming stale?
>>
>>343018940
Except I was responding to the second.
