Has anyone here played Resident Evil 4? God it's such a timeless classic. The production values are amazing and it still looks great to this day. Currently I'm playing through professional mode, and let me tell you, it's no walk in the park. The Red 9 is my absolute favorite handgun, and due to its high firepower, it is handy for saving ammo, which is important in professional mode seeing as how there is less ammunition than in normal or easy mode.
Even though it's not as scary as it could've been, it's still a blast to play. Ashley sure is annoying though.... (although what do you expect from the voice of Cindy Vortex, the girl who made our ears bleed in Jimmy Neutron?)
What do you guys (and girls?) love about RE 4?

I very much prefer how it's straight to the point by comparison to the original Resident Evil and I dug the Spanish inflection in character voices from Luis to the undead. There are several segments in the game I am not fond of like escorting Ashley or shooting the insects in the sewers but the puzzles, enemies, bosses and weapon upgrade system made it well worth it. That and the unconventional take on "fishing."
That being said, I'm not keen on playing it again as I played it so much around the time it came out and it can never replicate my feelings whilst playing it the first time around.

I loved when the zombies were behind me and screamed "detrás de ti, imbécil!" (behind you, imbecile!) ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) That said, the game has one of my favourite moments in any game: the siege at the village. It's so tense and horrific, I love it. Sadly, I don't like too much the absurdity in later sections, when the game abandons any horror pretenses, but I still love the game anyway. There's anything new in the HD port or is it just a slightly visual upgrade?

I have it digital for the PS3. I remember my brother praising it for the GameCube when it came out back in the day. I still need to get pass the first level. It is in my to do list.

One of the best games ever.
Although the developers are racist for having Leon kill Spaniards.

I don't know, in Resident Evil 5 they are killing Africans, it is hard to tell just by that because if they were killing caucasians, no one would say anything. Plus the devs are Japanese.
Although I can see someone that is actually racist enjoying the killing of whatever race they dislike.

scipioafricanus and stratogustav - Mates... Don't forget Spain is an european country; spanish people are caucasians. I'm not saying that you should feel better about white people being the zombies; I'm just saying that it isn't a minority, if that's worrying you guys. For all intents and purposes, Leon is fighting against (infected/zombified) europeans. By the way, I do agree with stratogustav's point: if the setting is in an african country, as in RE 5, that doesn't make the game automatically racist (interestingly, I never heard anyone considering MGS V racist, and part of it is in Africa; or MGS Peace Walker, for that matter, which happens in Latin America). It certainly is a touchy subject and should be handled carefully, since the imagery may strongly remind people of things associated with racism; but still, it's not automatically racist.

Exactly what I said, I don't think the games are racist at all, but scipioafricanus races a good point, and that is that for someone that is racist I can see how they can like those games depending of what they dislike.
You have to consider that since these are video games it is accepted OK to be a serial killer, a terrorist, a mass murdered, etc.. So I guess racism can also be accounted for, or even misogyny, for example someone that likes killing young women and targets them specifically in Grand Theft Auto V, that kind of thing.

It was great for its time, but perhaps a bit dated now as attestable by the comparable yet not so impressive Evil Within. The HD version is a simple cosmetic makeover from what I hear - with the Wii version remaining the best iteration of it to date.

leaon79s - I was unsure if scipioafricanus use of "spaniards" in his post was intentional or accidental, so I'm inclined to believe the post was a joke... It's hard to be sure of irony on the internet! Poe's law and everything. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Is The Evil Within as good / better than it? Most reviews I read considered it an ok game, but certainly not as great as RE 4. I haven't played it myself.

I read some oddball article from some SJW shithole where they were saying all you don in MGSV was shoot brown people. Which means of course they didn't actually play the game because the majority of the game you're dealing with Russians and half the PMCs in Africa were white Afrikaners.

It's been a long time since I've played it. Might get the PS4 version when that comes out, I like that all the RE games are getting physical releases. Might even pick up 6 and give it another shot.

Besides, you shouldn't even be shooting people in MGS V, since it's perfectly possible to go through the entire game as a pacifist (except for a very specific moment which is shown as a tragedy). So, if the author of this article did, maybe the problem was... himself?

It is one of my favorite games of all time.
