About 30 minutes here. I keep trying to force myself to play more to justify the $ 60 I spent on RE5, but I can only go a few minutes at a time before switching off the console. The game is a mess.

That being said, this clip is hilarious.

I'm a huge RE5 apologist, but I think Chapter 1 is purposely meant to evoke RE4. It picks up a lot by the Marshlands.
It's still no RE4, which is one of my favorite games, but I don't quite understand the hate.

I'm probably just used to the controls in Saints Row 2 (because it's the first and currently only other 360 game that I have, and I've played it for hours) but I've found the controls in RE5 to be awful. One button to aim on the top left side, the fire button on the right, run button on the bottom? By the time I've figured out how everything has mapped out, the executioner has already come around and whacked me to death with his weapon. I don't remember RE4's controls being this awkward. In fact, the Gamecube setup fit like a glove.

I haven't gotten past 1-1. Yep, that's right. That's how commited I am to the game. And apparently how awful I am at playing it.

Get a friend to play co-op with you, it makes a huge difference. Otherwise you'll just spend the whole time asking yourself why you aren't playing RE4 instead.

Control Scheme D is the default, and it's basically Gears of War (or any modern 3rd person shooter) except you can't move and shoot. (aiming on the right stick, strafing on the left)

I rented it from Gamefly and gave up after I couldn't find or figure out how to actually equip one's weapon (would it have killed Gamefly to mention it was done via the D-pad?).

Don't be fooled by that Yahtzee guy, RE5 is a great game. Yeah, sure it's very much like RE4, but is that a bad thing? Plus, if you don't finish the game at least once, you can't unlock mercenaries mode, which is a hell of a lot of fun, even if you hate the main game.
But I mean, come on! They resurrected the Lickers in this game!!!! For me, that is worth any shortcomings... By far the coolest monster in the pixelly world of RE2, and now they're back, and you can stab them in the heart... Brilliant!

thanks nerd

Everyone must punch his own boulder of melancholy if one is to roll it down the hill of sadness into the lava flow of spiritual upliftment.

The RE series is b grade horror at its best. Plus, they had to justify Chris' insanely huge arms somehow. ... If you look at it that way, how could they not include boulder punching?

I miss Leon :C

Not supposed to be a reply. Comment stands :C

Know who I miss? Mike.

I miss Toblerone.

Me too, fourthguy. Capcom really hates helicopter pilots.

Capcom likes exploding helicopters.

Pilots? Expendable.

It's worthy of John Williams

He and the boulder have a real up-and-down relationship. The boulder makes him hit it, and then he apologizes. The make-up sex is great, I'm to understand.
