seriously, i am one of the biggest resident evil nerds out there. and every game means something to me but, did resident evil 5 disappoint anybody as much as me?? it went from accidental viral outbreaks to terrorist attacks (which i liked) to attempting world domination... no. i like the real world-like problems of the previous games. when sinji mikami left the picture, i honestly think that resident evil left with him. jun takeuchi seriously does not know what the hell he is doing. when the hell did jill turn into a blond with small boobs?? haha. or when did chris start taking steroids?? i love resident evil and all but this game is the black sheep to me.....

Well yea I think Number 4,5 Just killed the whole resident evil realism like 1,2,3 are the best I agree with you

Hmmm, not really....

I think RE4 & RE5 have developed perfectly, storywise, from their predecessors.

The story and characters have developed into something much bigger, and if you have payed attention to the small details from the very beginning, you can see that Spencer's whole plan all along was to create some kind of Utopia with himself as a God.

It has continued to expand. We start off in a secluded mansion, then it goes to a city, then it does to an island, we start going to bigger locations, and covering more of them in a single game...

I think RE4 & RE5 both had their fair share of dissapointments, but this can be said for every single RE game that exists, so I am not worried about that. While these games are out, and done with, I think now we should pay attention to the ones that are not out yet, and that we may be able to affect...like Darkside Chronicles for example.

yeah but there you go another thing added from the retarded mind of jun takeuchi!! the whole utopia and god thing was never part of the story until RE5. i do, in fact, pay attention to all the little details. they just dont sound like a true RE game to me. even Sinji mikami THE CREATOR!!! said that he will never lay his hands on resident evil 5, because of how disappointing it is and because that it isnt the same game he wouldve made.

When played for what they are alone, RE4 & 5 are great. But as RE games, they fail miserably.

i know that spencer has been trying to design i guess you can say "soldiers" but thats where the B.O.W.s come in. umbrella was designing Bio Organic Weapons for the government. not to take over the world and yes this information does come from documents.

I think RE4 and 5 carried the story perfectly....sorry but there's only so many accidental outbreaks you can have before it just gets tiresome and reptitive.....the whole story followed suit with all that Spencer and Wesker had plans for....they wanted to become gods and you don't become that by having accidental outbreaks all the time, it's planned, it's calculative and it's downright evil.....and that's how it has to carry on.

i haven't played RE5 yet but i have noticed that RE is changing with RE4 and RE5 but I think it is for the best

Spencer's plan all along was to take over the world. Selling BOWs to the government was small time to Spencer. After the BOWs showed that they were pretty much fails, Umbrella went bye bye and Spencer went into hiding, pretty much giving up. Wesker on the other hand, kept going with Las Plagas and the Uruburos virus. I don't think Jun Takeuchi just randomly threw that storyline in there. There are hints of it all throughout the series.

god damn people, heres a lesson or two... resident evil 5 was created by someone new. Jun takeuchi, he was actually the music director of RE 2. thats it! when capcom came out with RE4 Sinji Mikami said its only for gamecube. the sales werent as good as capcom expected so they decided to move it two the PS2. Once that happened Sinji said alright F*ck you guys im done doing this. find someone else to do resident evil. and they did. he did alright with directing the movie and the umbrella chronicles but yes he did just randomly throw the whole God plan out there. that was never part of the story line. the real reason why spencer went into hiding is because of the raccoon city incident. Even Sinji mikami says that the story is crap, and that he will never even touch the game. and for you who said that 4 and 5 carry the story perfectly dont know what your talking about, ive litterally beat all the games and 4 would be alot better if it were a side story, 5 should be recalled and Capcom should BEG sinji to make it again. the game as its self yes is fun but as a a part of the RE legacy, its like a slap in the face to true RE fans.

I thought RE5 was more realistic than RE4
