For me, the idea isn't that its a white girl in a skimpy dress. It could be a black girl in a skimpy dress. Doesn't just the skimpy dress raise a question? Its not like a party just let out and she got seperated from the group. Ok, if the game has a bunch of other zombies in outfits fit for a social gathering then I'd buy it. Cause rich people love to go to poor villages just to party and get drunk in.

All of the references I find to it just refer to her as a "random white woman", leading me to believe she has no correlation to the plot whatsoever.

This would be similar to coming across a random, well-dressed person (male, female, black, white, Indian, whatever) in RE4 who shouts for help from a balcony. I don't think the Ganados threw many swanky parties, either.

Yeah but she isn't BLOND and white.

Yet!

Anyway, I'm buying this tonight while I'm at work wishing I could just go home and play Resident Evil 5. Does anyone want to play co-op with me tomorrow (PS3)? Dibs on Chris because Sheva is lame.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #377 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:08:15 PM »

I bet she owns the shanty town in RE5. She likes staying on her balcony and throwing rocks at the inhabitants while the man who drags her in is actually her brother. He was local zombie drug dealer who shared a needle with a zombie throwing caution to the wind, which turned him into a zombie.

My copy will be on the 360. Come Adrock, come to the other side, where online is actually fun to use.

(I'm trading in my copy of Resistance 2 to help pay for RE5)

Adrock · « **Reply #379 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:25:51 PM »

I could get it on 360, but then I'd have to drive to my brother's house to play it since it's technically his 360. I bought PS3 because I got a great deal on it and, more specifically, for God of War 3. I need a game on PS3.

Halbred · « **Reply #380 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:38:11 PM »

I'd love to play with you Adrock. I probably won't get to starting it up tonight, but tomorrow is a definate possibility.

bustin98 · « **Reply #381 on:** March 14, 2009, 01:37:39 AM »

Ok, just got through section with the blond. It totally wasn't as was described. She was in a house, she bursts out yelling for help. Then a white guy pulls her back in by her arm. When you get there, there is yet another white guy. Actually, there are several white guys through the game at this point. The Crispy Gamer dude deserves to be chastised for his misinformation.

Halbred · « **Reply #382 on:** March 14, 2009, 05:26:14 AM »

I just got past that part, too, and it's really nothing like CrispyGamer suggets. I stopped playing after beating the game's first true boss, which was a pretty cool fight. Be sure to shoot the gas cylinders before the monster reaches them, or it will destroy them for you!

bustin98 · « **Reply #383 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:36:10 PM »

Knock down the gas cylinders, the monster will take them into its body, then shoot them and watch them go boom!

So far....

The inventory system is terrible. Whereas RE4's system made the game almost too easy by the middle/end of the game (I had so many healing items that I never had to worry about dying besides the few occasional instant kill sections), RE5's system contains a little too much micromanaging for my liking. This is directly related to....

Sheva's crappiness. Her AI is awful for the most part and you can't program her behavior. She's pretty liberal with healing items and is an ammo waster. I always have to give her ammo and she has this terrible habit of giving me ammo when I don't need it. It's especially lame that ammo sharing is all or nothing. If I have 35 bullets, I can't give Sheva 15 bullets (unless I just haven't figured that out yet). The game was obviously meant to be played co-op, but the best co-op games have good enough AI where the experience is a little less frustrating because it doesn't require so much babysitting.

The graphics are amazing though even the PS3 version doesn't output in 1080P (Booooo!!!).

I basically just focused on the negatives, but I don't mean to say that RE5 is a bad game. It's great. If not for having a partner (and the option for co-op), it's definitely what you'd expect out of a sequel to RE4, which is a good thing. Thus far, the voice acting kills RE4 and the plot isn't as fractured and ridiculous. I'm not sure why people would want this on the Wii as the best part about this game is playing online with voice chat and I don't know if this could be the same on the Wii with Wii Speak and crummy online structure. At the same time, RE4:WE is still a better playing game. I'm having a hard time adjusting to using the Dual Shock 3, mostly because it's not the Wii remote and nunchuck, but it's no Gamecube controller either.

I saw a tv commercial for this tonight. It had a live action Chris Redfield remembering the horrors of Africa and ready to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. He had lost a lot of muscle tone.

Ignore this. I just read that the issues Crispy mentioned were BS.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #388 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:40:23 PM »

I posted on crispy gamer about the review being inaccurate.

I do still agree about Japanese devs not caring enough about how the rest of the world will perceive their games.

Hell, when I played the demo I couldn't really say what race these characters were supposed to be, the lighting made them look like their skin color was "HD gaming". Also remember Uncharted.

Will Smith will find a cure for this "HD gaming" pandemic.

Funniest of all, that game was made by non-Japanese developers.

Racism is universal, not exclusive to one continent!

Just got past the chainsaw Mojini from the demo. That dude is tough, not so much because he's hard to avoid (he's easy to avoid) but because he absorbs an ENORMOUS amount of damage! The shotgun is too slow to be of any use, the rifle has to reload after each shot, and the handgun does next to nothing. The best way to beat him is to lure him past an explosive barrel, blow it up, then run up to chainsaw boy and uppercut his ass.

But even after blowing up all the barrels, he won't be dead. It doesn't help that other baddies are swarming the area, either. I eventually beat him with my rifle after running out of shotgun and handgun ammo. Dude, I hate that guy.

Anyway, I'm now in an area with traincars and lots of dogs. The dogs SUCK, especially the big ones.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #394 on:** March 16, 2009, 03:16:33 PM »

That kind of ammo-difficulty sounds forced.

The RE4 chainsaw guys were good people. They'd take a while to kill with the lower-tier weapons, but they're still manageable mano-a-mano.

I think you all missed the most shocking thing in here!!

I don't care about black people...

And for those of you that are indifferent to that comment because it doesn't target you racially...

Quote from: Kashogi Y. Stogi on March 13, 2009, 04:02:13 PM

I don't really care about the white woman either.

GP, you gotta feel me on this one. Cause that's not only Racist but Sexist too!!

bustin98 · « **Reply #396 on:** March 16, 2009, 03:25:02 PM »

Dear Halbred

The transformers can be shot down, then shot again to send out electric volts to everyone around. There is one at the entrance to the stairs. There is also one with the big ax dude in the first level.

Oh, later on, you face two chainsaw dudes in the same level. At least not at the same time. Upgrade your shotgun. I have mine upped all the way with the exception of how much ammo it can hold and its pretty powerful now.

I miss Leon's cheesy one-liners.

The did finally realize my dream of finding a way to make Jill HOTTER though. Mmmm blondes... *drool*

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #398 on:** March 17, 2009, 03:32:31 AM »

Yeah Jill's better off dead.

Peachylala · « **Reply #399 on:** March 17, 2009, 11:41:15 AM »

Clarie is a better character then her brother.

Capcom basically ruined her in that CGI romp they dared call a "movie".
