No end card segment this time, didn't have time and you guys aren't missing anything important anyway. Only update is RE8 is the next vid, and I may do something with that uncut 1 hour + RE5 recording.
Might wanna check out some of the trailers for RE5. The 1st one had a completely different vibe to what the actual game was.
The 1st gameplay trailer only showed Chris and higher enemy counts. Ya can thank the baloney controversy over setting RE5 in Africa and the success of Gears of War for Sheva and the co op focus.
As for RE Village, getting an extremely bad feeling those story leaks are true. Not good.
29:03 Heaven or Hell difficulty is the one that you meant. My fellow dm fan 😌
a number of ppl already anserd this and no its not that bad.
Don't know shit about re 5 but clicked on the vid becouse of the autism thing what did you meant with that one
@KTV 4U Playing the race card like some jerk i see
RE5 Is 100% a under-rated game and i think your over exaderating the Race card there
but yeah ppl do just hate RE5 coz biased stupid reasons like the Maker of this video.
For me, the most hilarious controversy surrounding this game was how in RE4 we could blow away waves of spanish speaking infected in an "undisclosed european country," but as soon as they moved it to Africa it became a touchy subject. XD
yeah because you americans get offended about everyhting and anything dragging rest of the world with you
@@Rodemu don't blame just America also blame yourself too for letting outside woke propaganda infected your country.
People like to exploit victimhood for the silliest things.

Dude, the controversy blew up from a completely different country. 🤣

Now i know why they make AI partners invincible in most games.
And also why they usually have infinite ammo
Good luck for those games that don't have immortal AI partners
Sheva was somehow more useless than Ashley even though she had weapons and could fight.
tooo u long enough
@@Xehanort10 me when I'm lying:
They HAVE to remake re5 so we can have Chris punching the boulder in 4k
Honestly the game still looks pretty damn good. Especially with added effects like AO on Pc.
I’d prefer VR.

Re5 hold a place in my heart (including Re6), I still remember all the fun times I had with my older brother. We would play desperate escape or lost in nightmares on pro mode. Sometimes it would be like an hour or 3 hours. He would play as Jill and I play as Josh. We had to many laughs together, we had tears in our eyes. He sadly passed away and I haven’t touch Re5 in months. Even trying to get on it broke me down. I never played without him. I know Re5 is not the best game in the series but for me it is.
hope you are doing ok. im sorry for such a loss like that.
Damn bro, hope you're good know
My condolences man. I know that pain all to well. We honor our loved ones keeping their memories alive.
🙏🙏🙏🙏💯😭😢💔
I hope you’re doing better brother.
Legend has it Sheva is still coming......
She also still needs ammo.
"I cant right now"
@@Xehanort10 HAHAHAHAHA
@@FattyLumpOfPoo she was never able to save me when I needed it. Lol I actually forgot she said this one!
Chris just that good in bed, huh?
The Weskersexual line got me. Not gonna lie it seems like most of the characters in RE are either Weskersexual or have weird implied but not implied sexless romances. Leave it to Barry to be the only one making babies.
I guess he forgot about Jake?
But then again no one gave a shit about RE 6 anyway lol
@Mr Wild the game wasn’t amazing but to each their own
@Mr Wild i'm mostly an oldschool RE fan since i grew up with the classics; the 1st PS1/3D game i ever saw was RE3 Nemesis back when i was 6, and also the 1st zombie media i saw at that point.
But i can also appreciate the newer ones like 5 and 6 since i can play them with my younger siblings. Now they're RE fans as well. Win-win for capcom, i guess.
Ethan had a kid too
Barry, wesker and ethan has kids, chris and jill should make some as well
I think half of player's issues with Sheva would have been solved had they learned to put her on "attack" mode. Give her an infinite ammo MG on Attack mode and she's damn near unstoppable.
Thanks for the tip. I just did this (except I'm playing as Sheva and gave Chris an infinite AK-74). Total wrecking machine.
What if you never finished the game therefore cannot unlock infinite ammo💀
@@kikiparker1671 get good
@@TheReZisTLust get good. Use infinite ammo xD
@@linkueicatastrophe9727 I was thinking about it. I just unlocked all weapons and infinite weapons in the "Zoe Ending" mode that comes within Resident Evil 7. But to unlock everything you have to complete it on normal to unlock the hard mode and challenges, and then complete the challenges on both difficulties . When I finished I thought, there is no reason for me to play again. The same happened in RE2 Remake, when you unlock the infinite weapons, there is nothing else in the game for you to use them.
Sheva was an awesome character in my opinion and I would like to see her again.
Yes please!!! She was a bad ass, and i miss her
100% agree! Loved her!
Facts! She gets unnecessary hate and it’s just BS
Me too, she had a great backstory as well. I would to see her and Jill together in a game with each other, Like imagine seeing two bad ass women together in one game.
@@kordeination6385 Jill and Sheva are 2 in my top 3 so I would have to agree with that. I believe they could actually provide a really great dynamic though but you'd think that, Chris would have recruited Sheva by now seeing how good she was, she did help him Kill wesker after all.
Sheva will probably forever be the most underrated support characters in RE because of this. I honestly believe if we would have seen more of her then more people would have gotten to see what we seen in her.
Jill & Sheva in an animated movie with Leon and Chris would be awesome to see. S.T.A.R.S = Jill Valentine, BSAA = Chris Redfield & Sheva Alomar and D.O.S = Leon S. Kennedy
(Sheva being implemented in the Hound Wolf Squad would be cool as well.)
I hope one day to see, Sheva get paid her respect due. She was skilled and intelligent and deserves to be utilized more.
If we ever see another game done 3rd person again, it needs to be like 2-3 Remake. Sheva would look so crazy with the New Engine too 😍 nothing better than her kicking some ass and showing off her investigation skills. She is the #1 agent in the African unit for a reason and she is obviously one of the best agents in the world.
#UtilizeShevaRE - it should be a thing.
Re5 will always be a game that is near and dear to my heart. All the fun I had playing split screen with my brother and cousins. Truly one of the best memories of gaming and I wish I can do it all over again.
Mercenaries was boss and I reckon I have the fastest no glitch speed run of anyone on all difficulties (or thereabouts)
Agreed. I’d love to play this again for the first time and Dark Souls 3. Loved those experiences my first

ABSOLUTELY. I loved 5. And ive been a fan since the original RE1.
Still a great action game
Chris fucking headbutts the Boulder at the end of that combo. Man that is fucking badass.

The Sheva A.I Can Be Set To "Assault" And She Will Loot, Attack Faster, Aim For Headshots and is basically a more advanced A.I If you set her on Assault and will save you 100% of the time below veteran but professional she will save you 40% of the time.
On cover mode she will fallow like Ashley and shoot you in the back and run out of ammo it's mostly just used for healing
she's a lot more capable when you give her orders, I found, turning it from pure action to action/strategy mix
@@Yeshua_is-Cool Do y'all play with attack reaction on? The A.I. can easily shoot enemies through your body unless you purposefully enable that setting, and I see a lot of people complain about this lol
@@unsavourylittlerunt yeah I think it helps with follow attacks when you do a attack that doesn't throw em I should turn off attack reaction and see if it's true what you say

Just thinking about Chris Redfields character transformations throughout the entire series makes me realize all the shit he's had to deal with on the daily.
7:00
Actually RE5 does still have a scaling difficulty.
Yup, It's even noticeable with the red pants chainsaw guys, who sometimes get up after being taken down on normal difficulty, when normally it stays down.
Honestly any co-op game is ripe with shenanigans, especially when you and your friend are idiots and spend more time killing each other rather than the enemies.
As a co-op game, RE5 is a lot of fun. However, on single player, it can be a huge slog...especially on higher difficulties. Sheva’s A.I. becomes so brain dead that she is often a greater threat to your survival than any of the monsters.
RE6, on the other hand, is just a bad game in general.
My exact feelings. 6 really failed me.
I got through professional with just the AI to see if it could be done, only 2 deaths, and none at the jill and wesker fights, with the final boss quick kill.
She’s only brain dead when you don’t know how to play the game.
its the same problem with cold planet 2. great game on co-op, atrocious SP.
But Sheva is just an Ashley that can fight back.
Chris is worse than Sheva if you can believe that....
I always heard people had trouble with Sheva but honestly she was always healing me though i rarely needed it and she never died if i was also healing her. This includes professional
I call BS or some external powers at play. Sheva isn’t horrible at first but she becomes the absolute worst on professional. I played on PS3 and 4 so maybe PC Sheva is smarter?
@@josetomascamposrobledano4618 probably using mods from Nexus to fix her ai
james hazelwood no kidding 🤣
I back this comment. Sheva is quite useful to me with healing. Tbh I never have to rely on myself for healing she isn't that bad
I played it on 360 originally
A very fun way of defeating Wesker is to shoot his sunglasses off, flash him and then you can perform a melee combo on him.
Also for professional difficulty the bulletproof vest is mandatory for the military Manjini. The melee vest can help you survive a hit very rarely but usually you still die anyway.
18:03
Chris: gets shot and is dying
Sheva: I didn’t see that
You have to help him!
Sheva be like...
"Ahhh he's fine"
Chris; SHEVA!
Sheva: You're fiiiiiiine, just walk it off.
"Better watch Chris die."
With all the shit talking he's done?
24:14 That's scene alone was almost worth the RE franchise going full on acton. That was the kind of thing that would have been in a 80's action movie with Stallone or Schwarzenegger. I miss those kind of movies!
Man, I must have done something wrong, because Sheva's AI was always helpful to me.
Just a correction; RE5 does have a major gameplay addition that RE4 doesn't have and that's quick select. In RE4 everytime you needed to switch weapons or use an item you were forced to pause the game and go to the menu. With RE5 you can manually switch weapons and use items without pausing the game. It's a great addition because it keeps the action going and pretty much became a stable of the series. Oh and RE5 does have adaptive difficulty (besides Pro mode). Pretty much every RE game since RE4 has had it to some extent.
lemme boulder punch that like button

Chris: ...it was ONE TIME! Let’s see YOU DO BETTER!!

I have boxer's fracture and my knuckles hurt just from reading that.
@@Anthonybrother HELL YEAH BROTHER !!!!!
Who cares if this guy or gal is some zombie or mutant ima give it a grand slam - Chris Redfield
Yeah it's simply about defeating the enemy.
The a.i partner is a lot more deadlier when you set it on attack mode with a sniper rifle it can basically head shot any enemy no matter how far they are
Give Sheva stun baton and she'll go full on viking on their asses. Give her sniper with infinite ammo and she'll save your ass like half the time even on highest difficulty.
Maybe the least relevant to some, but for me the most refreshing thing about RE5 was the ability to switch between different weapons and healing items just by using the directional buttons.
tbh,I grew up with old re and new re...and I love em both
People who complain about Sheva as the worst AI partner have probably never played with Chris as the AI partner. At least Sheva never pushes one aside or completely obstructs one's view.
Lol
The game with the worst AI had to be Revelations. Especially when fighting that Norman guy playing as Jill. Chris literally just stands there and doesn't help you at all.
Did chris punch Sheva into the lava, instead of the boulder?
Disagree... you probably just play with Sheva often and see Chris's AI a lot. I do too now. (I prefer female characters when possible.)
But nah, they both just straight up suck... they are dumb and damn near useless unless you give them a cheat weapon or play 2 players. As an AI just... garbage. Rather have Ashley by my side unarmed and potentially getting dragged away.
The partner ai in this is complete shit... But if you played any of their ps2 games, you'd already know it was gonna be complete shit... Shit show just like onimusha 4
I always found it weird how much of a hard time people had with Sheva in single player, while mine went fairly smooth. I kept thinking the AI was pretty good until seeing other people's thoughts. I played through multiple times and that included the hardest difficulty with her and the only times I seemed to have a painful experience was the big guy boss where you're in the jeep shooting stationary and the Wesker/Jill "fight" on nightmare or whatever the hardest setting was. It makes me want to replay it again.
Yea same for me. Not sure why it tends to be so bad for others
I have hundreds of hours in RE5 and never had problems either. The AI performs fine and I've never had any of the problems people describe on any version I've played. I beat the game multiple times on 360, PC, and Switch.
Also it's annoying seeing people complain that the heals get wasted when they're at low health. I don't know if its a learned thing to think the AI is being bad or if they just want to be healed after they get revived? But then people will complain the AI never heals. It's so strange.
Sheva is great. Give her a fully upgraded sniper rifle and all the healing while you hold all the guns and she is amazing. Mows through everyone. And the healing items on her prevent her from dying most of the time, And youre near her anyway a lot of the time so she''ll heal you too. No issues with Sheva at all shes great
In lost in nightmares there is a secret where you can play with fixed camera angles.To unlock it you just have to investigate the front door 3 times then you will unlock it.But you can only use the fixed camera for the mansion bit,once you get to the jail part then camera goes back to over the shoulder
I remember playing this with my boys like 11 years ago all the time. Great coop game but i cant imagine playing it solo which is a shame since i kinda feel like going back to it
Damn bro I feel you about finding homies and both of you having time to play a solid coop with a story. It’s tough these days
I played solo 100 times and I've never seen Sheva doing shit like that from the first seconds of the video.😂
Just give her the right weapons and the right orders at the right time and you would be totally fine.
@@TheMrCHELL right! People bitch about shit they don't know or spend time with. If her A.I was truly as "bad" as people say. This game wouldn't be sitting at a 9/10 on steam right now.
@@1theprince1 So what if it got a 9/10 on steam? Lots of terrible hentai games also got an overwhelming positive reviews on Steam their review system is fucking broken just like Sheva's A.I
@@TheMrCHELL Well then you and i mustve get a different copy i give her all the right weapons and she's still doing stupid shit and bugged all the time
Ai sheva has never ever ever failed me. Not sure what experience u had
"The plot is dumb" "Story doesn't really matter" "Not a lot of actual other plot events happen..."
Well, it's understandable when you skip the trap Irving set up for the Alpha Team of the BSAA, the Bravo team rescuing Chris and Sheva,
these two explain their motivation to join the BSAA and Chris regains his faith in antibioterrorism war, the real feel of the reunion between RE1 main characters Chris and Jill after he saves her from RE1 main villain Wesker, secondary characters storylines like Irving and Josh.
And... yeah... Wesker's death XD ...not important at all.
This comment looks like a hate one, but it really surprised me that you're saying RE5 story is bad when you're skipping the half of it, you did even cut from Wesker/Jill boos fight, to the actual FINAL boss.
RE5’s story isn’t remarkable by any means. Average at best
He is just pooping.
I wouldn't take it too seriously, most reviews like this are just massive shit post and not trying to add any actual value. Even just looking at the thumbnail you would already tell it was just a shit post.
@@chadachi3970 actually I can agree with that it's even more sad when some reviewers actually tell their audience they may not add anything new some of them do add something new and some just regurgitate it's really a gamble with these TH-camrs
But he isn’t wrong. The story was pretty average in terms of what RE had setup as an overall plot in its time.
It made sense with the whole bsaa thing but not what RE had previously setup before RE4.
I had to use up all my first-aid sprays because of her.
I had like 20 or smth even after finishing on professional. I gave her all the armor and used the 44 or L. Hawk most of the time.
On professional you just need a green herb. Does the same job since one hit kills
7:40 The grenade launcher with flash rounds is actually one of the best weapons in the game imo. Especially since you can buy 12 rounds for like 600 or something stupid. It really trivializes a lot of encounters on professional, especially the Jill boss fight.
Stumbled onto your channel because YT actually suggested this video to me. They did something right. Great stuff man. Not sure how you find the time and energy to make these.
Its always really good to see one of your videos, i love your commentary and mostly share the same opinions! great vid!
I remember being so hyped before it came out.. and then the immense disappointment on the day of release.
But then replayed it in 2017 and it was totally badass so 🤷♂️
My favourite RE just for nostalgia & memories alone …
The hours myself and my cousin put in this game with co-op and mercenaries was insane ..

That shit was so hard on professional, but 100% the trophies on 5 is still one of my proudest achievements
A breakdown of resident evils 6 and 7 would be very entertaining and interesting
7 is fantastic 6 is good to just so over the top
@@maniac1628 my thoughts exactly tho I wouldn’t call 7 fantastic be a great game for what it tried to do with the series
Huge resident evil fan. Survival and or action I think there's room for both!
On the topic of Sheva healing you, you can make her heal you faster by calling for help when you're bleeding out. It'll cause her AI to prioritise it. Do it fast enough and she'll heal you before you even finish the line. I learnt how to do it on professional difficulty. Also don't forget to thank her after. You'll get an achievement for praising her enough times, plus it's just nice to do :)
I love that part:
“Dad, do you know who Jill is?”
“Yeah, I know who Jill is.”
I’m making some assumptions here but I’d wager you are relatively young and your Dad grew up playing games. I’m 38 and my father can’t work an elevator.
Nah, I'm 25 (maybe that's young, idk) and my dad is 55. Only reason he knows who Jill is is because of the shitty movies.
@@SyntheticMan xddd
I heavily enjoyed 5. It's my second fave next to 3 so I am one of those fans who are in a very bizarre spot.
3 is also my favorite original , and 5 is my favorite modern. I never had issues with sheva, she performed very well, so i guess im lucky for that. What im most impressed with on 5 is the melee system, character has like 9 different melee moves "head, arm front, arm back, leg front, leg back, ground, partnsr help, finisher front, finisher back" and they all feel good. My favorites are josh suplex, jill neck break, barry headbutt, wait... this list is going to keep going lol. I love all re5 melee
Neck Breaking as Chris for days my dude, so freaking good. It's hard to go back to 4's after that, especially when you have to stick with that stupid back kick until you reach the castle when it gets replaced by the suplex. 3 is also my favorite game from the originals, don't get why it is so hated.
@@zesork5627 yes chris neck breaker, i mean he uses arms that can move boulders to snap those necks, piece of cake lol. Re5 is the best melee, i hope they re implement that kind of melee in the future

@@FoxCunt lazy eyes/ crossed eyes
Just finished RE5 on normal again and I gotta tell ya, the partner AI is really misunderstood. I assume most people just assume that the AI can handle itself and you can just run and gun without having to give a shit about ur AI companion…but when I played the game I played it the same way I did when I had a real person playing with me. I’d check their inventory, make sure they’re well armed. Gave most of my ammo to the AI since I knew I could set up combos easier than the AI could. I’d item shuffle with the AI, and arrange their load outs in smart ways. I had a ton of fun with the AI. Yeah sometimes the AI would use an herb when I didn’t want but it never bothered me because I knew another herb was coming so I could pick it up. The AI is definitely misunderstood. Care about ur AI partner and it won’t be frustrating. That’s all I’ll say.
(Edit: also that clip of this guy dying to the stun rod….his animation locked him up and his bar was already done for by the time the animation finished. Also looks like Sheva was against the wall. Not really the AI’s fault but more because of the game itself.)
Dude, your channel is awesome. It just works. Great job man!
I will never understand why everyone loves RE4 but hates RE5...they're the same game! I'm also alone in not thinking RE4 is the greatest game. It's a good game, I beat it but it doesn't SNIFF greatest game territory
Oh, i agree with you pal. Been saying those exact same words for the past 11 years or so.
What i can say about RE 4 is that you can't say it is a bad game by itself. Hell, it have set the blueprint for how third person games were supposedly to be made after it's release, so you can't call that a bad game. But as a Resident Evil game? It is the one that started the action oriented trend. This, and at least for me, the game overstays it's welcome, dragging for too long in what is clearly filler content.
Finally someone not huffing "muh nosestalger cocaine"
Re4 is really stale after playing 5. Just straight up boring and slow. It's that first impression that people hook onto to. I mean yes re4s legacy is phenomenal but that doesn't mean it's still "great".
@@1theprince1 looks at those that still love it even pass the first impression especially those that pull completionist
@@1theprince1 also its been decades and i still love re4
Small technical correction:
The game does have a mechanic where the difficulty changes depending on your performance except on Professional, it just doesn’t effect ammo drops.
For example if you’re playing on Veteran Difficulty, the Chainsaw Majini will go into berserk mode when you take the key from him and can only go berserk on Normal if you go for long enough without taking too much damage or dying.
That’s as much as I remember and the only notable example as the differences in damage taken/given is very marginal.
The exact number is 7 on the difficulty scale.
On pro there's no item placements. Have to rely solely on drops. And it changes the game drastically. For example you won't get mines for the bat b.o.w boss. The mines simply don't spawn to pick up. Meaning you have to manuever around its back, use your weapons or grenades that enemies may have dropped.
I encountered a glitch:In normal mode i killed the chainsaw majini and took the guard key and when I was about to open the chest I heard a mechanical whirl of a chainsaw.when I looked back I saw that exact same majini I took down like 5 secs ago.One rifle shot was enough to take him down again.Is that the berserk mode you guys were talking about?
@@fade3173 Yes, it is.
Sheva was not the problem. The ai in general was horrible. If u play as sheva chris was equally as bad.
Speaking of inventory systems, i thought the realistic, first-person looking in your jacket inventory in Alone in the Dark was pretty amazing.
Great review man, I totally agree that it's 100x better with a co-op partner just watching this brought back many memories of playing this with one of my online friends who I haven't spoken to in years as bad as the game is as a single player it'll hold a place in my heart for the memories it helped create.
I can play the main campaign with the AI, but God help you if ya play the dlc campaigns with AI. Their basically unplayable and you don't have your upgraded weapons to offset the bad AI.

Man, RE5 is AMAZING, and give AI Sheva an infinite Magnum and she'll steamroll the game herself!
why the thumbnail though...like out of all the thumbnails you could've chose, you chose that one...
i love resident evil 5's mechanics, it expanded over 4, but 6 was just so messy. the melee set ups in 5 were amazing and added so much fun to the coop aspect. mercenaries in 5 was absolutely great. it isnt fair to blame sheva for the ai lol, chris has the same ai if you play solo as sheva. i agree the marshlands was a real cool stage. with a friend this is a great coop adventure and as i mentioned, mercenaries was amazing. to this day, no other coop game has had such a great coop gameplay mechanic, and again, the melees were amazng.
How were re6's mechanics messy?
@@saimalishahid1406 personally, i had played re5's mercs modes competitively for world records and put close to 1000 hours into it. A lot of what i describe will easily be overlooked by anyone just dong the story campaign, but it is when you play re6 mercs for highscores that the messy mechanics really highlight themselves. Don't let the fact you can roll, move while shooting an melee freely trick you into thinking they are good mechanics, at least not how they were executed.
Melee set ups were designed well majini reacting to exactly where you shot them in re5 which gave specific attack animations for you. Also when prompted to melee, you had the name of he attack you were to perform making it clear what you was about to do. In re6 you get a very vague image of the melee you will perform and they all look alike in the heat of the moment during mercenaries.
Then there is the inventories, they are just not very tidy at all. In 5 you could exchange ammo, arrange things in the order you want them and you could pop it up easily and do what was needed. In re6, again especially during mercenaries mode. In re6 you need to scroll along the inventory and it is such a hassle in a highscore orientated environment, but even in the main game, it is pretty annoying. Chis and Piers have the worst inventory set up.
Despite being geared towards coop, the partner Hud isnt very good, in resi 5 you could clearly see your partners health and current bullet supply at the bottom left corner. In 6 , this isnt the case, you can see your partners name change colour dictating their health but you're so focused on what you are doing you never really get chance to notice theirs, especially in mercenaries mode. In re5 mercs is valuable to be able to see your partners bullets.
The rolls and sliding etc just become a total mess at times, if there are more than 2 enemies and you are attempting to slide stun a certain enemy, expect the game to gravitate you to the wrong enemy. Or melee the wrong enemy. Or to end up performing a roll or diving to the side just because the game gets confused wat youre actually trying to do. It can be really clunky.
Again, a lot of these things will just slide by people playing story mode, but it isn't until you play mercs mode where you need precision do you realise how messy it actually is.
@@BenRai2k well I have myself put well over 200 hours into resident evil 6 and I have to disagree. After a while the melee context becomes becomes subconciously clear and the image merely serves to facilate that. Sliding into enimes is a manual prossess with no lock on so it is to the player to be accurate with their slides (aiming at the zombie to a line oneself is what I do).
I don't usually have a problem with the lock on system of kicking. There were instances where they missed but that isn't exclusive to re6. The game seemed to generally kick where I wanted it to. However I can see it being a problem since it is a lock on system and that doesn't always follow what the player wants.
I do agree that the inventory can be shit. Yet even that can be memorized just by virtue playing a lot and getting familiar with where the game tends to place items.
The lack of information on the heath of the other player definitely is a problem.
@@BenRai2k I do appreciate appreciate you elaborating your specific qualms with the machanics. Who knows may be even I will get familiar with same flaws that you mentioned. Currently though, they seem to not rear their ugly heads too much, if at all.
But people doesn't want to have that conversation about Chris A.I being the same as Sheva's though. It's really no reason to hate on Sheva besides that because she actually had personality and good backstory. In my opinion wasn't one sided like most characters.
Storywise, I'd say Re5 Is more satisfying than RE4. Relevant connection to past games and the history between Chris and Wesker. I just wish re4 was the downfall of umbrella taking place.
Id say the downfall if Umbrella has already taking place during RE 2 and 3
Having the RE5 grenade launcher with 12 flashbangs loaded was a great way to take care of any of the mutated enemies, since the regular flashbangs only held 5 in a stack. You don't want to use bullets to kill a cephalo or horde of bui kichwa.
I think Resident Evil 5 had a nice horror moment with the Reaper enemy. You see those pulsating egg sacs in the abandoned factory.
You read a note about an accident that mutated something into a BOW and as you venture deeper into the factory you see those egg sacs. You return power to the conveyor belt and suddenly you hear a loud screech followed frantic skitter along the catwalk.
You walk back and see one of the eggs have hatched. You walk a little farther and suddenly a giant bug drops from the ceiling and presents itself. When you first encounter it your first thought is to unload on it but you find out its invincible to regular gunfire and it can roll out the way of explosives.
My 1st time playing I ran from it lol, but then you have a chase against the Reaper while Haze of Horror plays in the background. You run to the conveyor belt and find all those bodies littered throughout and they attack you which further impedes your escape from the Reaper.
As a character, Sheva was better then the entire cast of Rev1. Every fake out death was such a blow for me. That’s why Rev1 is my least fav RE game:terrible characters
Fair point
Resident evil 5 has dynamic difficulty too. It's been a staple since RE4. Remake 2 and 3 has it also.
I think re village has it too
Im an old fan, Im 34 and Ive been in love with RE since the original RE2 came out on the 64. Ive played Every single game, except Revelations 1. And I absolutely Loved RE5. Sure it was different, but it was SO damn good it didnt matter.
I Vividly remember being bombarded by lickers, in the shadows, with nothing but the muzzle flash of Chris's rifle lighting up the wave of claws and blood mere inches away from my face, as I beat back the horde of deadly bioweapons. Yes, 4 is the undisputed champion, but 5 gave me something I had never seen before. Not to mention the seamless co-op and incredible Mercenaries mode.
I was introduced to RE with this game... so it has a special place in my heart. I never got to experience the originals other than the remakes considering I was born in 96. But I love RE5 granted it’s not the best game in the series to me but I don’t think it’s a bad game
0:53, I mean, the opening sequence is pretty damn tense. Sure not scary but does keep you on the edge of your seat (on a first playthrough of course).
That's what always gets me. People will be quick to say it's not survival horror and I'm like okay, first of all, that term is subjective, and second, I'm inferring they mean it can only apply to RE games where you're in a dark, claustrophobic environment with limited resources and constantly evolving threats with puzzle solving barriers to progression. I take the other approach that says, well, anything can be survival horror to anyone in the right context. RE5 just so happens to take a more Deliverance/Apocalypse Now approach. It's like, can Doom not be considered survival horror? Or Left 4 Dead? Hell the Half-Life series many survival horror elements! RE to me though just seems like an equal opportunity horror franchise. One time they might wanna keep it more traditional and atmospheric/gothic horror. Then they'll go for more like The Thing/The Blob/The Fly body horror, then they'll go like straight up kaiju horror or something, then Romero's Day of the Dead style horror, demonic, possessed doll horror? Sure! Why not?! Unfortunately, you just can't manage all those horror elements with one, singular, ever-present play style. You just can't.
@@TheLeevoy fanboys will be fanboys. There's no reasoning with certain "true fans" of the series that's been evolving since it became popular. Sure the first like 5 games (re1, 2, 3, code Veronica and 0) had fixed camera angles and all the nostalgic stuff, but that won't be scary today.
Also I highly doubt Capcom really cares about what "fanboys" think since recently they've just been doing what they want (which has been successful more or less) so I doubt they'll be going back to fixed camera angles anytime soon. Here's hoping if they do make a RE5 remake they don't change it too much (I would love if they removed the stop and shoot and improved the AI but beyond that I don't think much else should be changed).
@@TheLeevoy survival horror is by definition horror with limited supplies and maybe awkward controls
The bright daylight stages were supposed to serve a very specific new purpose. You were supposed to be skittish about moving from the darkness indoors into the bright light outside and vice-versa because they were working on a mechanic that would simulate what happens to your eyes in real life when you move between bright sunlight and darkness, causing that moment where you really can't see anything because of the shock of the contrast. This mechanic was advertised in earlier promotional material that was even seen in the west, but it was scrapped for some reason or another. It really sucks that they kept scrapping things on top of the demands of woke corporate America.
Definitely a lot of mixed feelings about this game, but you'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands if we're being perfectly honest. RE4 with my dad was something special we shared as father and daughter, backseat gaming and all. Then I found an RE5 trailer we got excited over. Then a new trailer showed co-op, and the rest is history.
That 1st concept trailer for RE5 looked very interesting. Shame we didn't get that game or a single player focused successor to RE4, but RE5 isn't a bad game.
I'll take RE5 over a lot of the recent ones.
@@Gruntvc just like all other capcom games RE5 got nerfed when it got released
What the fuck does any of that have to do with woke America? What about your eyes adjusting to different lighting levels is woke?
Can we stop using these useless terms in completely wrong contexts for fuck's sake.
@Erwin Rommel With your name, I am very much inclined to dismiss your non-answer.
"Go do some research" is lazy and pointless, thanks.
@Erwin Rommel when this came out "woke" movement wasn't a thing yet. I swear people project way too much now a days .
I didn't find it bad, it even Surprised me in a good way cuz I was reading and hearing all the bad reviews about it. The same thing for Resident Evil 6, I even enjoyed Resident Evil 6 more than Resident Evil 5.
I *LOVE* Resident Evil 5. My Brother bought it and it was our first RE game ever (i was like 13 back then. Great game to give to a easily scared kid back then). We *LOVED* playing trough it Co-op and we even did it in later years in every difficulty. Sure, i can admit it‘s not scary and fails at capturing the atmosphere like in RE4, but i don’t care because the action gameplay is just so fun and crisp. Not to mention that it features the best gameplay you can have with Wesker in Mercenaries.
the modes in DMC where you and the enemies die in one hit is heaven or hell not dante must die.
I know it doesn't matter but I couldn't help but notice.
I’d say my ideal RE game would be RE 2 remake. It scared me. Great horror elements. I felt like I had to scramble for resources sometimes and I love the controls. I didn’t play the originals so I don’t have a nostalgia thing. The controls looks like a nightmare. I’d never played RE until about March except for a casual RE 5 session. I picked up 7 and that kicked off a couple months of me playing each RE game, minus a few. I played RE 1 HD and I like the controls for that game. Would I want to play each game in the series like that? No. I think RE 2 remake did a great job mixing great 3rd person shooting and great survival horror. Right now I’m up to RE Revelations 2 and I’m really enjoying it. Can’t wait for Village. I hope they don’t blow it.
As for the more action focused entries, I don’t mind them so much and I think that’s because from a story perspective, it mostly makes sense. You have to expand the world out and because of that, things get more ridiculous. I think you can have a great action game and a great horror game, I just can’t think of one right now
1:57 This was honestly RE4. It implemented the new age tone and gameplay, was a smashing success and they ran with it full force into RE 5. 6 is just what you get when you keep trying to push the envelope too far that the volcano 4 started blows up in your face.
I love how people bitch about 5 & 6 being the worst but they love 4, well guess exactly who you get to blame for 5/6.....that's right 4, personally I wish we could go back to the old 3rd person setting as I hardly play 4/5/6 but I play RE remake/2/3/CVX all the time
yep
as much as I love RE4 it was a sign of things to come
Sheva is actually worse than you remember - in co-op when a player picks up treasure its duplicated - in 1 player you have to spend your scarce amount of gold on HER upgrades too, even though she doesn't make any money.
In the many playthroughs of this game that I've done I've never seen a mini gun majini throw a grenade
RE4 was all action. The only reason people didn't complain as much -then - was that the game was also good.
I just finished the game in veteran with a friend. I think that I never laughed so much playing a game in my entire life, we had so much fun it was unreal, but yeah we still got some issues that made us take a few breaks.
I absolutely understand that it was different from what the series is supposed to be but I enjoyed it as an action third person shooter game,If I want to really experience resident evil(A proper horror game) I will play resident evil two remastered
the answer to the title is NO
disgusting thumbnail. i would suggest other ways to communicate without alienating potential viewers but you obviously only care about engagement
Yes play on hardest difficulty and talk about how you can never run out of ammo. Have to really conserve your shots
Exactly my thoughts when he brought up ammo
0:24 Does anyone else think the '5' looks like someone standing on one foot while dabbing? I dare you to try and unsee it!
Can't unsee what can't be seen
Nah that is tottaly MJ doing is signature pose when he stands on his toes.
Protip the 1st pistol has an upgrade that increases your chances of getting a critical headshot so I would say handguns do have a role
What's the violin like music playing in the background in the beginning? Sounds familiar
I was so excited to play 5 after playing 4. And I got to a part in 5 where there was a chainsaw guy and Sheva stood right in my way resulting in me getting my head cut off. For some reason it really knocked the wind out of my sails 😭 Loved how RE4 had really awesome atmosphere but a lot of camp too
Dude this video was awesome! I was lucky enough to play this game with my wife when it was brand new so we had a blast and really enjoyed it, but I did go back last year and replay it solo and it was definitely a pretty AWFUL experience. Happy RE week to you! I have this Friday requested off at work and I cant wait to dig into RE8. Looking forward to seeing your video on it once I have had a chance to beat the game myself a few times.
The part when the enemies start using guns after fighting the giant spider, it pretty much goes downhill for me
It's on the contrary for me, guys with guns are more interesting to fight than enemies that their only way to attack is to get as close to you 90% of the time.
I’m more of an action guy so when I reached that part I was like “Hecc yea Ghost Recon!”
Resident Evil 5 really needs a remake.
Great video, I just have one question. Did you get to fight wesker in single player? Because I personally thought his fights were disappointing and not fun at all.
Sheeva is still waifu tho...
Just reading the title, I would say that RE5 was so fun.
Originally re5 was supposed to be similar to re 4. The closest we got was the re5 teaser and Chris there was the original design until we saw the drastic shift in the final trailer. Supposedly everything wrong with re5 was last minute choice to capture the multiplayer online craze at the time.
The people who complain about Sheva either didn’t know about her go and cover commands and when to properly utilize them, or just were not good at the game. I beat this game on veteran with AI Sheva and Chris. And yeah I died a few times and sometimes it was her fault, but it is very doable
AI sheva isn't that bad if you constantly have her on Aggressive. I noticed she becomes a lot more competent when you set her on Aggressive, and if you know how to use the AI command system with her, she's actually not bad, this includes the higher level difficulty.
