LIES!First off, Resident evil 4 was cool, it was a departure from the past shuffling zombie who couldn't catch a cold!OR did you really expect to fight off an angry mob and an disproportionally tough chainsaw wielding spaniard AND HIS CRAZY AFRICAN BEARFOOT NuTJOB, With a lame ass control system that would have you dodging with no useful melee? Hell that guy could possibly kill a tyrant.The Las Plagas parasite was a welcome change to the usual H-G Virus infections, OR Did you really think that umbrella would use the same method over and over? At least the las plagas allowed the infected to pass for human..... Until it burst out of your head anyway.The suit case also taught you how to save space.At least in 4 and 5 the special police/CIA CqC training gets used.5 was a bit too short and the inventory controls were like suicidal.
Sure, but remember what happens to games that bring more of the same? There were/are so many games that have such similar control schemes today that RE would have become redundant. And though the game has always been about racoon city and the STARS. The world is so much larger than that.Hell they even released RE Outbreak for more of the same+ multiplayer.*sigh* Still, The most painful RE memory i have was when i emptied my shotgun, magnum and a few grenades into nemisis only to get a purple tentacle skull-farking me seconds later.I was only on meeting no 1or 3...... i more than made up for it the next new game when i decided that hoarding was a good thing.(to be fair i think i missed most of those shots. but i was shooting off screen)Shuffling only works in times of no fire power. Its an experiment in empowerment against the mob. on the first one, you were useless. And the combat knife was lame. Now you have a machete. The targets flinch, they bleed and they cry out. slowly you start to wonder "has anything really changed?" The bigger picture is still shrouded, and you can only hope you don't hear Those heavy bootsteps, that thick tired moan again.(jilly's gotta have gotten nightmares)"Staarrsss"
