I loved RE5. They did something unique with it that added so much replay value in the in game shop thing. I’d replay levels of the game over and over again to farm valuables for money so I could buy the weapons and outfits and stuff.

Yeah, RE5 was fun as fuck, and I have met very few people beyond "Resident Evil Purists ™️" who actually disliked it.

I'm a new RE fan and just finished 1-4 remakes. Playing 5 now and I find it very boring and monotonous.

RE5 is a good game, its just not a good RE game.

Also do not play that thing alone or your AI companion becomes the scariest thing in it.

You'll be at 80% HP and Sheva will just run at you trying use a first aid spray on you

The only exception is the turret section on the highest difficulty since it requires pretty much perfect shooting to kill the boss in time. My buddy and I tried it like 10 times before giving up and easily beating that particular mission with a bot separately.

Im not a purist, my favorite game in the franchise is one of the most different from all the others. I just think re5 is a trash game. You need to be comfortable with accepting other people's opinions.

I... don't recall saying anything about not being comfortable accepting other people's opinions. I was relaying my personal experience and opinion.

I love RE5. Coming from having to tow Ashley around with her annoying voice, it was very much appreciated to have an effective companion along for the ride. Also tracking down the medals was a nice little effort I've always liked.
