Narrowing down the list to just 10 was difficult but all of these games struck raw nerves in people the world over.
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.
You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.
Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.
It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.
At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.
like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.
people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.
5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.
What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.
@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
"The Seattle-based (Washington , the US) indie games publisher Victura and indie games developer Highwire Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released three new missions for their first-person tactical shooter "Six Days in Fallujah", nearly doubling the content in the game (the new missions is available right now for PC via Steam Early Access)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I really wanted to see Six Days in Fallujah, I just hope another developer has the balls to pick it up. I think its bullshit that the media allows plenty of movies to be made that are based on traumatic events, but not video games. To the mainstream media, video games are still toys for kids and it really agitates me. I bet you not a single news program has ever heard of Shadow of the Colossus, Socom, or Metal Gear. Those are shining examples that prove video games are not only for little kids.
RE5 and MW2 tie for #1 the controversy exceded the gaming world for those games , especially MW2.
honourable mention imo has to be L4D
Pretty good list
Resi 5's 'controversy' fucked up the game imo. It just didn't need no co-op crap.
Looked a fricken top-game with chris on his todd.
Most hilarious part of Resi 5. Sheva talking about her parents on the Air Boat. Chris just looks like he doesn't give a shit, and LOL, neither did I.
Sheva Alomar. Most unecessary character i've seen.
For me, the most controversial game for this generation is Final Fantasy XIII, when that stupid Yoichi Wada announced that game will be release as multiplatform LOL.
I don't know why but I was shocked when SE released a Special edition of FFXIII for 360 only. But hey didn't release it on PS3, that's another question "WHY is that?".
Is there any problem between SONY and SE, do they have a problem or conflict?.
For those of you who don't know yet, SONY is the main share holder of SE, they owns 30% of SE, that makes me wonder, Why is that, that SE is treating sony ps3 like this??
What if one day SONY sell their stocks at SE??..
I think there will be 3 scenario:
1. SE will have no choice but to approach sony, and address a Apology LOLOL
2. MS would buy the stocks that sony left.
3. The worst will be happen that Tetsuya nomura will resign on SE, and if that happens, charisma of FF series will be gone 4ever. Though it's true that Nomura is a sony fanboy, that's for sure
