Your entire post would have been completely legitimate (although I must agree with you on the knife thing) if it wasn't for the fact that you're basing EVERYTHING on a 20+ hours game from an unpolished 15 minute demo. I'm sorry, I'm much too tired to write another long post right now (I know how you must have felt when you wrote your reply) so instead, just read this article.

See, now you're just kinda proving my point. Comparing an already released game to an unfinished demo and already making criticisms about it. According to the reviews, the RE5 goes beyond the whole redundant dark, creepy corridor atmosphere that has seriously gotten boring to death. Reviewers have said the game is scary as hell in DAYTIME. Check kotaku.com. And while it may be true that dead space has a more isolated and creepy setting, it felt redundant, since with the exception of the final...
Glad to see you understand. Too bad I don't have PS3, only 360 and Wii (though I borrowed my friends PS3 just to play MGS4. What you say about Dead Space's atmosphere is true though. I personally thought that it was great at first, when first introduced to some of the death scenes, the Zero-G, the bigger enemies, it wasn't just great, it was awesome. But to me, unlike RE4, the game didn't have that continuous fast paced feeling, plus it started to get a bit redundant, minus some puzzles and b...
But its okay for games like Halo and Call of Duty and FF and Killzone to release sequels on newer platforms and make little to no changes in gameplay? RE5 is actually adding in a complete co-op campaign, and a revised inventory system, so when more things are added onto the gameplay than some of those other games, why suddenly bash RE? Its because no one has played it for so long, people try the demo once or twice, aren't used to it and say they hate it. I know this is true because I continuo...
You know, contradicting your complaints is actually quite simple:
You can't run and shoot at the same time because you're not supposed to. This is Resident Evil, not GoW or some FPS. It worked amazingly well with RE4, so its gonna work well again.
Walk backwards and shoot? That's a pretty aimless argument. Why the hell would you want to? You can't see behind you anyway when aiming. You could just as easily get out of aiming and walk backwards, or do a quick 180 and ...
I completely agree with you. I dedicated an entire blog post as to why people aren't enjoying the RE5 demo. A lot more of them than you'd think actually have never played a previous Resi game, so of course after playing Gears of War for the past 2 years, going straight into unfamiliar territory is clearly why they hate it.
And to Lifendz, why shouldn't the controls be similar to RE4? That game was amazing. All of those other games you mentioned aren't even in the same league as R...
If you liked 4, you'll likely like 5. That's all there is too it. I'm not saying it will be as groundbreaking as 4 when it reinvented the series, but i suppose it still could, we don't know yet. Everyone, literally everyone I've heard of who has played at least part of the full game loved it. OXM, OPM, Kotaku, Gamepro, and a bit more.
