Isn't it time to update the thread title?

Yeah, this is hardly Mario Power Tennis GC.

Woo boy, I just saw Sheva's voice actor...HOT! I got immediate boneage. Usually the voice actors are not that hot, but I liked this woman a lot. She reminds me of a Black Tori Amos(I love Tori Amos).

Latest addition of Sheva's-AI-is-total-garbage:

I got to this cave where either Chris or Sheva can hold up a lantern. If you carry it, Sheva will waste all of her ammo. If Sheva carries the lantern, 90% of the time she shine it directly onto Chris.

I miss Leon's cheesy one-liners.

Yeah, I know.

I visited some friends today and they recommended giving Sheva the stun prod after you get it and taking away all her guns. Give her all the health too.

I haven't actually picked up the game yet. I wasn't sold on the demo and unless anyone here says otherwise, I think I'll wait for a price drop or pick it up as a rental.

Here are a few comics we did for RE5:

Our artist didn't make Chris' arms quite as big as we wanted them. The idea was that he'd look like the Tank from L4D. Oh well.

This is more of a slight against parents who don't pay attention to what their kids are playing. I'm surprised we haven't heard any "My kid shot/hurt/did drugs/got pregnant because of RE5" stories yet. It's probably a bit too early.

Awesome comics!

Just got through the big marshland village. Geeze, that sequence sucked. When left to the AI, Sheva kinda sucks. I had to take care of like a million villagers all by my lonesome. I did notice (and like) how the behaviors for the villagers are different than the Mojini. And a few of the villagers turned into big crab things. Wierd!

I don't get the reference. How many copies did the U2 album sell?

bustin98 · « **Reply #412 on:** March 25, 2009, 02:26:30 AM »

Alright, so I did a speed run through the first level tonight. Lo and behold I witnessed a white woman being dragged down an alley by a man (I think he's white but whatever). I have heard her screaming before, but I never saw her. I assumed I was hearing her from the house.

So, I haven't changed my thoughts of the game, but at least that Crispy Gamer reviewer did get something right.

If you want my guess about the discrepancies the character model used for the attacker may be chosen randomly by the game. Or maybe it's just that everyone in the game has HD as his skin color so you can't tell whites from blacks.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #415 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:26:14 AM »

Everybody is a shade of HD brown?
thats gotta get a little bit boring...

EasyCure · « **Reply #416 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:49:21 AM »

I finally got to play the demo at a friends house and.. i'm unimpressed to be honest. The controls feel super clunky, since the only version of RE4 i ever played was the definitive version (Wii, duh). Hell when i tried playing RE4:WE with the Classic Controller it didn't feel as clunky as it did on the 360's pad.

Other than the number of enemies, there's not much there that makes this feel different from RE4. The graphics weren't even that great, and this was my first extensve experience with the 360 on a huge HDtv but to be fair, my friend probably didn't have all the right cabales or whatever. Point is, the whole time i was thinking "this could be done on wii and at least feel better control wise".

I don't know how i feel about co-op, because my friend was so bad at the game it barely mattered that he was there. He helped me out a few times, like shoot an enemy i couldn't see behind me or i'd steal some of his ammo, but thats about it. If i have to save my AI partner as much as i did him in the main game, i'd probably never want to finish it. Hell we barely had the desire to finish the demo after he got his head chopped off 5 times in a row.

Halbred · « **Reply #417 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:05:12 PM »

After spending a significant amount of time with the game (both online and off) (but I haven't beaten it yet), I gotta say I love RE5. It's RE4 on a larger scale, and I love RE4. Two-player co-op is easily one of the best times I've had with a friend since Smash Bros. Brawl, maybe moreso, because you're cooperating. The game is also designed with two human players in mind. I fought and beat Irving by my lonesome, but the fight would have gone much quicker (and easier) had my buddy Erik taken the reigns of Sheva.

As it stands, Sheva doesn't actually do a lot on her own. I mean, she shoots stuff, but you can't coordinate your attacks without a human partner. Even so, RE5 is turning out to be one helluva ride.

Adrock · « **Reply #418 on:** March 25, 2009, 07:24:49 PM »

As I've said numerous times, Sheva's AI basically nonexistent. She was standing right next to some ammo on the ground which I had no room to carry and I kept telling her to take it and she just kept saying, "You can't be serious" or "I can't right now." I wish I could roid punch her right in the face.

Upgrading her weapons is a double edged sword too. On one hand, she'll kill enemies faster. On the other, she'll still somehow waste more ammo than necessary. I'm glad Capcom opted for a new partner instead of using Jill because I'd probably end up hating Jill with a passion. I know it's not necessarily the character so much as it is the AI, but I associate my frustration with Sheva.

bustin98 · « **Reply #419 on:** March 26, 2009, 02:32:27 AM »

You'll want to upgrade your weapons so you can unlock the infinite ammo option. But I guess you'll only do that if you care about trophies/achievements.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #420 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:28:44 PM »

Well, Yahtzee didn't like it.

Caliban · « **Reply #421 on:** March 26, 2009, 01:59:42 PM »

People still listen to Yahtzee?

vudu · « **Reply #422 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:21:01 PM »

I do. They're not as funny or clever as they used to be, but they'll still worth 5 minutes of my time once per week.

Is what Yahtzee said about the opening scene to RE5 true? Is it literally the exact same as the opening to RE4? If so, totally lame.

Adrock · « **Reply #423 on:** March 26, 2009, 06:01:16 PM »

It's hard to avoid that opening when it's the entire point of the game. You shoot hordes of virus infected people then you solve mirror puzzles.

vudu · « **Reply #424 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:16:33 PM »

But you get overwhelmed by a large group of villagers and then a guy wearing a burlap sack with a chain saw and you must survive for X number of minutes before the "mission" ends.
