I will always hate RE4 on a personal level because it changed the series too much. But the RE 2.0s did get better with each addition. Not even sure why people hated RE6.
@@theultimateninja I get what you mean about RE4, but I also understand why it's so many people's favorite. Leon's quirky personality, a compelling story line, memorable villains, (a huge array of memes)... And a very good balance between tense atmosphere and action (with the exception of the island part...). But it definitely made the next titles too action focused. I have already played RE6, and I will add that review in the future. But I can say that RE6 picked my interest with the story that it tells and I definitely place it above RE5, on top of having better AI for the partner. But unfortunately feels like shooting campaigns, which is precisely the kind of gameplay that I don't like in RE games.
@biakamyuzu Im making a generalization, but for most people who say RE4 is the best RE game, it happens to be the 1st RE game they ever played. They dont really care for the originals and can't/wont learn how to use tank controls. That's why it just irks me that Capcom changed the game for the sake of "normie" gamers. I mean, they successfully did it, and kudos to them, but they should've just called the game something else and left the survival horror / tank controls / hybrid 3D controls alone. But whatevvs
@@theultimateninja As a fan of the fixed camera angles and the older RE games (with RE0, RE1 and Code Veronica being my favorites), I do think those games have an appeal that next titles forgot. But I also think that the evolution in the gameplay and the point of view was a natural step with the evolution of gaming and consoles. Tanky controls have their charm, but they also lead to flaws in gameplay and unnecessary frustrating moments, which definitely needs correction. This is not to say that RE4 is not without it's flaws, and it does begin to distance himself from what was RE originally. But I still feel like it's an enjoyable and interesting entry with the natural evolution in gameplay mechanics. But maybe it could have worked just the same with a different name and protagonist.
@biakamyuzu true about the tank controls. RE1 remake and Fatal Fram had the 3D movement option, and i think that wouldve sufficed. I just miss the survival horror.
I feel like the problem with 5 is they tried to do something different, without completely going in any direction. So,the game is a little bit of everything you already know, a little bit of new things thrown in, and a story that is not as interesting as the other games. I think code Veronica was a better game. I doubt they would remake it, unless people are going to whine about the zombies in Africa, but it's just a game.😂
@@brucebanner3566 Yeah, the game does feel like a callback to a lot of things, while trying out others with little success. Actually, it's interesting that you would mention a remake, but after RE4 Remake came out, a lot of people started saying that everything pointed towards the possibility of the next remake being RE5. Personally, I would just love a remake of Code Veronica, since it's one of my favorite games and it needs a remake for yesterday, but I have kind of given up on that idea x)
NGL I actually liked it a lot back in the day but, I remember liking the beginning and waiting for the game to take a survival horror vibe and instead it kept throwing me bullets and guns and by the end I was a bit disappointed. Great TPS, terrible RE game. Same as RE4
@@jimcarrey2866 Yeah, if at least there could be a few tense moments to remind you that it's supposed to be a RE... I think RE4 does start out with a tense, horror filled atmosphere, and as you go further into the game, it evolves into an action focused game to shoot and shoot at waves of enemies, which was the reason I was really enjoying the game at the beginning, and by the end was feeling a little bit uninstered and wondering when it was going to end.
I enjoyed the review! Very well done, friend. You've got my sub, like, and comment! :)
@@ItsSamStone Thank you so much for the kind words and support!

I played it with a friend and it was ok but too similar on the beats to re4
