Why Resident Evil 4 Sucks

Does Resident Evil 4 live up to the hype? No, not really.

I wouldn't say Resident Evil 4 sucks, as opposed to Resident Evil 4 isn't actually Resident Evil.

Ultimately, each is to its own, but saying that RE4 sucks as a game is going too extreme.

majdees5330d ago

RE4 is actually a great and well-made game. It's just that the fans of the series didn't expect the type of change Capcom made. After RE4, Capcom should have returned to what made the series great. Spooky camera angles and VERY little ammo hehe. To say RE4 sucks is going too far I guess...

ReservoirDog3165330d ago

Yeah RE4 was too much of a well made game to really go so far as to say it sucks on any level. It was scary enough. Probably not in a very very scary way but scary enough.

Now RE5 went overboard.

Off topic but I wonder, does anyone have gamefly? I'm looking to get it again and if someone recommends me to it under their name, they'll get $20.

Just looking to help out someone out their in n4g.

Welcome to game journalism.

It's not journalism, most of the time (even in well known sites) it's internet game's blogs/sites, with 0 journalists, just gamers or fanboyz, who wants to be jounalists.

mastiffchild5330d ago

True, actual journalists with training are the exception in gaming. I've actually been told by a ton of sites that I'm over qualified because, when I wasn't housebound, I was a reporter-an actual, fully trained and time served one as well! I only want something to keep my mind going mushy but I'm too damn good, supposedly. Obviously, I'm crap but they won't let me prove it!!!

A similar thing happened to me when I applied to work at EB Games. One of the first things they said when I entered the job interview room is that they aren't looking for gamers to work there, instead they're looking for people who are good at customer service.

When I told them that I had years of customer service experience and a Certificate 4 in retail, they said they still weren't interested in hiring me because someone with so much experience (in both retail and as a gamer) might intimidate people who don't know much about games. WTF!! I just wanted a job there because I'd rather be selling games than flipping burgers at McDonalds or something. Maybe I should have just told them that...They might have given me the job then :/

It's especially annoying since the people who work at the store I applied for are average sales assistants and know practically nothing about games. I had one guy try to convince me not to buy Uncharted 1 because he had never heard of it before and assumed it mustn't be a very good game, while another flat-out said he didn't understand why I would want a PS3 for anything other than watching Blu-Ray movies because I'm a girl. WTF surely I'm not the only girl who has bought a PS3 in there? :/

@Pozzle-I've been in the same boat as you. I worked at game crazy for a few years and I got the job because I knew what I was talking about when it came to video games and was equally qualified in customer service, but when the company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy I went and applied for a job at Gamestop. I got an interview and was told I was over qualified for the job. I said I could do the job almost better then anyone that worked there, but was told I didn't come off as a happy person. So I called the interviewer out and said this was bs never has she or anyone else come off as a happy I say hi to every one that enters the store. Long story short I was basically told f off, so I took all my money I had down on preorders which the manager wouldn't do at first and then finally told them to f this job, f this company, and f you! Never entered that store again. Sorry for the long rant but your story reminded me of mine a bit.

The whole video can basically be summed up by these two points:

1. "I miss the survival horror Resident Evil games"
2. "I think the Resident Evil Remake is a better game and an under-appreciated title in the series.

I wouldn't say these reasons mean RE4 "sucks" though. Regardless of your opinion on the series' new turn, it's still a decent game. But I will agree with his first point: I loved the look of the original tech demo and wish Capcom had at least left those scary/creepy survival-horror elements in the game (although they made a right move in getting rid of that supernatural crap that was in the early trailers). I love the updated controls, but did everything else need to be overhauled too? It would have been nice if SOME of the original survival-horror atmosphere from the previous games had remained (there was a glimpse of it in the labs with the Regenerators... but it didn't last very long).

And whichever person at Capcom thought it was a good idea to replace creepy zombies and mutated animals with angry Spaniards and giant trolls needs a kick in the pants. Pitchfork-wielding peasants screaming "I will grab you!" and "Stop you son of a bitch!" in Spanish =/= scary. :/

With that being said, I still enjoyed RE4. But I do hope RE6 is more horror-oriented. Hey Capcom, you don't need to revamp EVERYTHING in the series. You are allowed to keep some of the old stuff that made he series famous!

Bathyj5330d ago

I couldnt get into RE4.

I really hate, not having a strafe command. I mean, not being able to move and shoot is bad enough but having to walk through a doorway, stop, turn and then get mauled by something was just annoying.

I know the early games had these tank controls as well, but they werent as action orientated and even then, those controls are pretty outdated now anyway.

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken796d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS96d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS96d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis96d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
