    Well I think at this stage I'm buying cause I'm a fan of the RE Series. Was completely disappoint with the drift off from the story line of Zombies with Las Plagas. Hoping this will be a bit better, even though this is sort a new type of gameplay.

    I think every RE game I buy is a small spark of hope it will be as good as it was back when the first one came out :)

    It sure does, but its pre-ordered anyway. In the start when I seen it I was mostly exited about the online multiplayer. So ill see how that goes.

    AI was always dumb in RE games, and there's was always invisible walls (ie. im stuck on RE Code Veronica X on my Xbox cause there's an invisible wall in my way to push a button in order to continue a game, contacted CAPCOM. They told me to delete the game and save data and that should fix it, what a brilliant solution of loosing all your work...)

    But that pretty much shows that their games since the PS1 been downgrading in terms of quality. Back in PS1 days it was more acceptable cause no other games had any better :) or was capable. I guess Capcom is just loosing its touch and focusing on profits more rather than its gamers.

    Most gamers said the story line was quite horrid. If it is then I say CAPCOM screwed up extremely bad cause playing on the bad side is probably what everyone wants because everyone want to see the story from the other side.

    But ill leave judgement for when it comes :)

    its not that the storyline is bad, it's more that there isn't one. you're told by USS command what to do, and you go do it

    there's nothing there really by way of actual mythology progression really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    I have only ever finished 1 RE game and thats RE5 on PS3... I loved it though and flew through it, story was awesome as was gameplay... Only other RE game I played was RE4 just didn't put enough time into it...

    It's quite amazing how capcom can release such an amazing resident evil game on 3ds and then give this pile of puke to consoles. God I hope there isn't Any pc version.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    It's not developed by Capcom though, only published, but I still would have expected more with regards quality assurance.

    Was the only game I'd been looking forward to for ages, but disappointed now with the reviews before I've even gotten it.

    It's being released on PC in May. Maybe some kind souls can mod the game so it doesn't suck.

    I wrote a review here as well. http://www.noobreview.com/video-game-review/resident-evil-operation-raccoon-city-review/

    Pretty bad, but bizarrely picks up in the middle of the game, by which time most people would have given up. Multiplayer is decent.

    edit: Review is only fixed now. For some reason a draft of it was showing up on the site rather than the finished version!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    Wow. Thats all i can say.

    By far the worst RE game i ever got.

    It was delivered to me on Monday but only got to play it today. What a pile of crap. Online is fairly fun or storyline matchmaking too (thanks to the people on the other side) if not for that AI would have made the game even worse. Biggest waste of my 50 euros on a game so far.

    6 missions. Shortest gameplay for story ever. Lots of bugs and incosistencies too

    Gonna trade it up for something else tomorrow

    My mate picked this up yesterday, and invited me around for a few games today. Never being one to turn down a bit of co-op goodness, I was there and ready to bust some zombie heads... Then we realised that there was no local multiplayer. No impressed with this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I was going to trade this in, but decided to wait for the spec ops mission DLC.

    And I'm glad I did, because in the meantime I've been playing online alot, and it is fantastic. Infinitely better than the single player. Put more time into it now than the SP.

    Looks like it still managed to sell over two million copies. :(

    It is sad to be honest, I wonder how much of those copies are bought and traded in in less then a week though?

    Capcom will still see this 2 mil as great sign: ze more actione!!!!!!
