If it weren't for the meme coop forced on the player because coop shooters were cool back then, this game would be simply better in every way to Resident Evil 4

The enemy variety, map design, setipieces, and ESPECIALLY bosses are absolutely fricking terrible. What in God's name are you talking about? Co-op is the only reason this game is remembered at all.
You are delusional
Executioner alone is better than most
Chief village and Saddler especially are horrid, with the latter being defeated by some tmp spam
Ogres are a shitty gimmick and recycled
Salazar is laughable
The only good one is Krauser
El gigante was better in 4, the awful turret sections of 5 are some of the worst of its kind.
>The enemy variety
RE5 has 16 more creatures than RE4
>map design
no
Agreed, they also ruined the aestetics of the game by slapping a garbage colorgrading filter on it because it was a current trend.
The assets and levels were not built around it in mind, it was a lst minute call by some moronic higher up.
Ridicolous
top looks better
are those forearms achievable natty?
That's actually what the air of poor areas look like. It's green like a poison swamp. That clean air look at the bottom is unrealistic.
You are either baiting or legit braindamaged.
When's the last time you went to Sao Paolo or wherever RE5 takes place
When I banged ur mom after I took her there
m8 u sayin u took my mum to sao paolo
I was in Namibia two months agot, it literally looked like the bottom pic.
Congrats on surviving, Chris
go outside moron
I don't live in Zambia tho
I wonder if this means 9 will follow that shadowing and become the best RE game released
Gigabyte fight is shit compared to RE4, shut up contrarian
>Doesn't fall off
The whole game is bad so I suppose you're right. However, the cover shooter parts are towards the end so I would still say there's a drop off.
>Doesn't fall off like RE4 towards the end
It does not
Should I beat this on professional with a clean inventory and turn on drop in drop out coop? I been thinking about it.
RE5 is objectively better than RE4. You just have no friends.
Wtf??????
Playing this game with a friend, far too much action shit, I would have dropped this if it wasn't co-op.
I think pacing is far worse and the final parts are utter dogshit aside from Wesker.
This game does its best job at highlighting the issues with Re4's gameplay while also adding worse ideas as cover based shooting in a game that's too stiff for that, it feels hopelessly outdated compared to other shooters of its generation.
>Better and varied melee moveset
sure
>Better enemy variety
more enemy types alone isn't "better". in terms of ENCOUNTER variety re4 is king. the actual situations the game throws you in are generally more interesting. the water room for example is a more memorable and tense encounter than most in re5. same with the opening village. I will say that re4 could have done more on a higher difficulty like DMC, but the enemy placements with few exceptions (for example the cave where you press switches and there's just a shitload of bugs is pretty lame and uninteresting) are already very well done.
>Better setpieces in general
ah yes let's dedicate a chapter to a turret section where your state before and after is identical regardless of how you perform. a straight up unenjoyable, monotonous, unchallenging waste of time, thank god you can skip it on replays and not miss anything
>Better bosses
frick no. re4 bosses are way better. most in re5 are unmemorable and gimmick shit like the crab thing you qte prompt to throw grenades in it's mouth, the 2 turret sections, the orbital laser uroboros fights etc. they're fricking trash
>Better villain
haha funny 7 minutes guy funny COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION. he is fun but if we're being serious saddler is actually the one that makes more sense since he just wants to blackmail the president and control the world. wesker is a generic muh natural selection eugenics gay. still, it's just preference, both are alright
>Doesn't fall off like RE4 towards the end
falls off way before that, there are a LOT more shitty parts in re5. 2 turret sections, more qte cutscenes, laser puzzle that ISNT EVEN A CO-OP PUZZLE FOR SOME REASON. ganados with guns turning part of the game into a fricking cover shooter etc.
>haha funny 7 minutes guy funny COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION
Yes
>Saddler makes more sense
Saddler is a moron who gives away his plan 20 minutes in
At least Wesker is enjoyable
Are my ears fricked or are the audio cues for enemy attacks more toned down and hard to notice than in 4?
setpieces in general
bosses
villain
't fall off like RE4 towards the end
See, these are the 4 points were I actually disagree. The thing is, the game is fully designed with that "forced Coop" in mind, which effectively makes it a blast to play in coop, but on single player:
-Set pieces: Holy shit, I hope you like dealing with hordes and hordes of enemies, coming from all flanks, because your AI partner can't cover you for shit.
- Better Bosses: Kind of the same problem, most of them are bullet sponges with a puzzle like mechanic that involves one player being the bait while the other set up the traps. If you are on your own, as I said, have fun with the bullet sponge. There are also far few that are either a glorify turret section or JUST a turret section.
The Villain: Everyone but Wesker is extremely forgetable, compared to Salazar, Krauser and Saddler, even Mendez, in regards "one off villains". Yes, Wesker is the highlight, but even then, it was a somehow lackluster way to end his storyline.
And in regards the "Doesn't fall off like RE4 towards the end", hell no. Just like with RE4, the moment you reach the military bases, or docks in this case, the game already overstated it's welcome. It's all the previous issues with the level design combine, now expanded in a boring setting.
Again, RE5 is probably one of the best Coop Action games to this day. But it isn't nearly as well designed as RE4 all around, the single player experience is dreadful and... I still rather to play Leon's campaign in RE6 from start to finish in single player than enduring a full playthrough of RE5 alone, there, I said it. And yeah, RE6 also has dumb fun in coop, even if the whole game is a mess.
>I still rather to play Leon's campaign in RE6 from start to finish in single player than enduring a full playthrough of RE5 alone
Opinion discarded holy shit.
>meme coop
Did you not like the best coop ever made by man?
>best co-op
>game over for both players because your teammate fails a cutscene qte
the coop in 5 actually works, it's 6 where the coop is forced
>marshlands
>oil field
>Labyrinth
How can one game be filled with so many
shitty oh yeah THAT PART moments. The game is just a slog of boring levels made worse due to co-op nature and all the waiting around for your partner.
Black person, co-op shooters have never had their day. They should and haven't. have a nice day.
Everything you said is moronic and wrong except "more melee moves". RE5 is worse than RE4 in every single way.
The biggest flaw in it isn't even the forced co-op (though that's awful), it's the fact that being able to redo levels ruins the game balance and the whole point of survival. You're supposed to scrounge for ammo and resources as you play, but RE5 ruins it all by letting you stop to farm whenever you fricking want.
