At a campaign stop in Marion, Iowa on Monday, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum singled out Resident Evil 4 as being the downfall of the Resident Evil series, telling a mostly-over thirty audience that "they made the game too casual in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience. It became a generic action shooter and alienated those of us who had supported the series for a decade."

Great, let's see Smuffin defend this guy again.

Because Cain's insane, and both cases are probably massive pandering?

To be fair, Cain was quoting the Pokemon movie. Slightly more mainstream.

This is totally true though, just not in the way most of you are smart enough to understand.


RE4 (itself) is one of the greatest games ever, bar none, not debatable. However, it is absolutely the downfall of the series. RE 5 is easily the worst mainline game in teh series (Code VX is not mainline) and there is no reason to believe RE6 will be any better at all, and it is all because of the mechanics taken from 4. It worked for 4 because it still kept the RE parts in tact, everything from here on out is going to be a generic action game.

Had VIII been followed by a game not called IX, then this would be true. But instead the second/third game afterward was like the opposite of VII.

You want the government to take our favorite games and give us a small part of them while making sure everyone else gets a piece too.

Or something.

I really don't get why RE2 is put on a pedestal so often. I had way more fun with RE4 and RE5 because they were actually fun and had a functional game within their mechanics.

As far as old style RE games go, Outbreak 2 was by far the most fun.

And going way out there, Blue Stinger's way more endearing.

RE4 and 2 are clearly at the top. Zero is ass and 5 is slightly better. All of the other games and CVX go somewhere in the middle.
