Board 8 > Why does everyone love resident evil 4?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My first question is who ever loves res 4 have u been a long time fan, and have played 1,2 and 3? Or was 4 the first one u played? I just don't get it. They got rid of everything that resident evil was. It was scary, there was zombies and there were actual puzzles that made u have to think. Not only that but the game never held your hand and by that I mean u had to figure things out and places to go by your self. Don't get me wrong I thought 4 was ok and I really liked 5 cause I'm a Chris and Jill fan but still both 4 and 5 was the worst of the series. Why does everyone thing 4 is soooo good?

no one has ever had this complaint before

Personally I didn't feel 1+2+3 were scary at all and the controls whilst effective in what they were going for were just awkward.

People like RE4 because they liked playing it and thought it was a good game.

yesss

I liked it on it's own merits, even if it was not like the other RE games.

It's not "classic" RE. But it is a much better overall game than anything else in the series, and I love them all. RE4 just outclasses them all. More or less the perfect game.

I don't get the "4 sucks because it's not like RE1, 2 and 3" criticisms, personally.

yeah this pretty much.

I'm one of the biggest survival horror fans on this board (you all know who is the biggest!), and while RE4 was a completely different game and is not even close to the survival horror genre outside of the first, 20ish minutes of the game, it was still an amazing game.

RE4 is a great action game. Not so much survival horror but man its fun.

I personally don't think any of the games are scary, except maybe REmake.

Fact: 4 is the only scary game in the series other than REmake.

Old-school RE elitists who go around saying RE4 NOT A SURVIVAL HORROR NOT SCARY haven't actually played it. I'm convinced of this.

To be fair, none of them are really scary at all.

I don't consider Survival Horror to mean OMG IT'S SCARY, so don't put words in my mouth.

Some people really don't have a grasp of what horror is. RE1-3CV gave you ****ty tank controls, limited saves, 10 bullets every 2 hours and just general cheapness. That was in its favor though, it created a much bigger sense of tension and uneasiness. You take away all that and what do you get? You get RE4. An action game.

I cannot deal with horror at all and I love RE4. The only parts I found spooky at all were the monks' chanting and oven man. The invisible bugs and the village are both scary at first but quickly lose the tension they once had.

Regenarators were indeed very scary.

Maybe the first time you hear it. Really loses something the next 50 times.

i don't really find things scary, so a really well-designed action game is miles better than a clunkier but technically "scarier" game
