Resident Evil 5

This game is GREAT for all kinds of dudes who get bitches, play cool games, and jack their shit off every Sunday.

this game is pretty fun when there's nobody screaming in your ear that they aren't (not very scary though. good game but bad resident evil game)

A quintessential co-op game that still holds up relatively well today. The partner AI when playing solo is hit or miss. The combat, while satisfying, is starting to get a bit dated by the series modern standards. The additional mercenaries game mode will take all your free time if you let it. Realistically, this is more Resident Evil 4 and that should be enough to sell you on this.

Great game for couples!
That being said, if you get frustrated easily, it may strain your relationship.

This is the first Resident Evil game i've ever played and I greatly enjoyed it. Its a little dated and the movement gets some getting used to but overall its a short and sweet joyride best played with a partner. 8/10

It's a little janky sometimes because it's older, but overall it still holds up and was a lot of fun with co-op.
7/10

what a great game try playing with a friend its makes the gaming experience 100x better they should bring back co-op story mode to re series back

Fine Game. 6/10 Would Recommend if a fan of the RE Series.

Good game, but whatever you do, don't play with a controller. Playing with a controller adds a laser that easily blends with the environment, often making aiming harder than it should be.

It might be old school, but still has massive playability, packed with humour - especially in co-op mode.

A really good game, but I must say there were times I wasn't sure who is my enemy: Npc Sheva or Albert Wesker.
The amount of times she died for nothing is insane. Overall amazing game really liked killing the Spaghetti boss with a grenade after I realised he is so bugged on PC.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING A SPAGEHTTI WHILE PLAYING THIS.

an absolute masterpiece, the best resident evil game imo!!!

As much as I love the resident evil franchise, I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone that's played the remakes or 7 & 8. The switch from being able to move while shooting and reloading to being forced to stand still is so jarring that I'm still not able to cope with it at the final boss of the game. I've been playing with a friend for the past few months and we spent 2 hours today trying to fight the final boss, only to get confused about how to trigger any of the weaknesses we've seen in videos about it.

I was initially excited to try this out but now I genuinely don't think I'll be able to finish it without mods because of how poorly the game has aged. It's such a shame too, because I REALLY wanted to like it, but just couldn't find a way to do so after so many poorly executed new mechanics, which I won't talk about for risk of spoiling the game for anyone brave enough to play it. Who knows, maybe I'll start enjoying it like I did RE4 Remake, which I now have almost 500 hours in, but currently? No way, just wait for the inevitable RE5 remake they do.

gameplay outdated, have to wasd instead of move with mouse/turn, alot of puzzles cut out, this one was definitely geared toward the action oriented, great if you want to relive the story

really fun, classic co-op action and great combat mechanics. the story is a little weak, but overall enjoyable

Western game development done right. The puzzles are fun and the map design is great. I know this is a widely hated title among the long-term RE fans, but It is still a great game. Screw the tank controls.

Iconic game and the best resident evil game after 4 and before 7

pros:
Control (much better than RE4)
Co-op
Side map
Inventory
QTE Unnecessarily
Replay ability
Skins
Wesker as a villain
Sheva

cons:
No chemistry between the characters (like in TLOU)
Plot is kinda meh
No Leon :(
Chris + with his "Jill, Jill, Jill"
Resident Evil cliche
No in-game chat
Few bugs

pretty fun game and one of my favourite RE games, I recommend playing with a friend for even more fun

love the game, super good graphics, easy to understand. i sometimes bug while walking since i get stuck sometimes. not a big issue though

When Resident Evil 5 came out, I remember there was much outcry about it being racist, because you play as a white guy shooting a bunch of black people. What could be wrong with that?

This came about because I was listening to a video game podcast (The Besties) ranking the best Resident Evil games and RE5 didn’t make it past the first round. Mostly because it failed to fix the mistakes of RE4 and didn’t add anything new or innovative (except maybe the co-op).

Even in today’s context, I’m not seeing what’s specifically “I’m trying to suppress you because your skin is a different color.” I see “I’m trying to suppress you because you are a monster zombie trying to kill me.”

They’re IN Africa. There’s going to be black people there. It’s hard to walk around Africa without running into one or two. If there was a zombie outbreak, I guarantee a few would get infected.

There IS a part in the beginning where a blonde white woman is pulled against her will into a shack and infected with the parasite. It’s "blink and you’ll miss it", has no bearing on the plot, character model has no name, never shows up before or after. Why is she there? Why did they make her white to stand her out, then do nothing but fridge her?

There’s also a white antagonist named who seems to be a slimy carpetbagger. He’s a "business man with standards" and sounds like Wario if he were less cartoonish. He acts exactly like Chucky the doll, but is more a pastiche of Salazar from RE4–he can’t be taken seriously.

And let’s not forget Booby McGee and Sheva Alomar, the light-skinned female characters who barely look black despite being African. These aspects make the game “iffy” at best and “terribly racist” at worst. So I’m not saying it’s got a halo on its head.

But when Resident Evil 4 was released no one made an outcry because they were all Spanish people. And it’s not like there’s no similar history of racism and colonialism against Hispanics and Latinos. Is it because slaves came from Africa? But then aren’t you treating all of Africa as a country?

People don’t take time to understand context when it comes to cultural insensitivity. This game was made in Japan. Do they have a history of racism there? Yes, indeedy. But it’s like Mr. Popo from DragonBall Z. Mostly based on what American troops brought over during the WWII occupation. Japan’s history does not include bringing a whole race of people from one continent to another, enslaving them for three-quarters of a century, then letting them go without a system or compensation to "pull themselves up". (In fact, instituting several social programs and laws to ensure they never gain political or financial power.)

So when they try to duplicate past success, they think "Well, going to other places is working out. We went to the South Pacific and Antarctica in Code Veronica, and Spain in Resident Evil 4, which was a smash. Where else could a zombie outbreak occur with interesting visuals and is somewhere Umbrella’s money can create a foothold? How about Africa?"

Now this is a case of treating all Africa as a country, which might make me seem hypocritical since I just accused you of it. But we’re not talking about literary treatment, we’re talking about racism. Why would you think Japan’s intent is related to American slavery? Do you think Resident Evil 5 was meant to sell to Proud Boys and right-wingers who get their jollies off shooting black people?

Now I’m certain some of those sick types bought RE5 for that reason. But once you put art in the world, you aren’t able to control what other people do with it. No one wanted My Little Pony to become the fandom for unwashed convention-going demi-misogynists with obsessive tendencies.

Would a Resident Evil where it all takes place in Detroit or South Central Philadelphia be racist? As long as the number of zombies reflects the demographics of that city, I don’t see how. A Resident Evil that takes place in Madison, Wisconsin and all the zombies are non-white — that’s racist. Because it’s lying about the true nature of the setting to induce a certain reaction (that of racist delight).

I might have put my foot in my mouth on this one, but please, tell me what I missed.

I am so happy I got to finally play this game after loving the series for so long. I really love the cheesiness of Resident Evil (esp the older ones), and Wesker was scary af with his Matrix moves in that boss fight. The DLC was also great (only downside though is that you would need to play it in one sitting as it doesn't save your progress if you quit the game mid session). All in all 10/10

Resident Evil 5 is a solid action game, especially when played with a friend in co-op. It’s fun, fast-paced, and has some exciting moments, but it doesn’t quite live up to the survival horror standard that the series is known for. If you’re going in expecting a more action-heavy experience with lots of cooperative gameplay, you’ll have a good time. But if you’re hoping for classic Resident Evil scares, this one might leave you wanting more.

Final Score: 7.5/10

It's definitely not a contender when it comes to the best Resident Evil game.

It is:
- Not even remotely scary
- The controls take some getting used to, especially if you've played the remakes
- Extremely action orientated
- A duo game from start to finish with an AI partner or via co-op, which many might dislike
- It has no puzzles, the ones it does have are so trivial that they don't really count as such

But it is also:
- By far the best Resident Evil when it comes to co-op
- It has many different and good weapons and it's fun to upgrade them and use them later with infinite ammunition
- Collecting treasures is fun too
- Albert Wesker
- If you don't mind the action component, you'll like it a lot
- Trashy story (and game elements) that fits typical Resident Evil well (punching boulder)

All in all, I love this game and have played it dozens of times on many different consoles and it's been a tonne of fun every time. Playing with a mate unleashes the full potential

its honestly a good resident evil it doesnt follow the genre well but its fun and diffrent re4 still the goat forever

It had a bad rep at the time, but it's actually a fantastic game, especially if you have a friend to play it with.
Wesker's performance is legendary.

Its a really fun game to play co op. Its not as good as 6 imo but it's still quite good. If you master the combat you can really kick some butt. You can also unlock infinite ammo once you beat the game which just elevates the fun to the maximum.

I have replayed this game so many times I can't even count how many hours of fun I have had with this game 10/10

Great game,is basically original re4 but with co op instead there's not that much to it,pretty fun to play with friends

Complete global saturation

Game's pretty sick, but a little forewarning to save you some frustration when you play through it:

In chapter 5-2, there's a boss that is bugged that will literally not die through the normal given means of beating it. The only way to get past it is one of two things: capping the framerate at 30 fps then maybe that lets you beat it normally, or buying an rpg and insta-killing it. I suggest saving up for the rpg since in my opinion the boss design is complete garbage anyways. Don't know why Capcom never bothered to patch this issue out of the game, but it is what it is I guess. It is an old game and for some reason games like this seem to always have issues with running them at high fps.

really fun. classic game x

Okay, ngl- I didn't expect to get super addicted to this game. Its a bit older, and thus I wasn't sure what to expect (probably something bad, right?)- but my thought process was that if a remake came out this very moment, I wouldn't be able to afford it anyways, so I figured, "screw it, at least try the OG experience".
And oh man, I really had a good time. The control setup is fine for keyboard and mouse, but the way the game played felt either twitchy or sluggish depending on the input; and I maintained a mouse sensitivity of 1 in order to not fling my crosshair all over and to get more of a smoother "day at the range" vibe. Once you adapt to the slightly disorienting control responses, it's pretty fucking kino. I got used to it, and even started to enjoy it's little quirks. Except for dodging; A+D was fine, but F+V? I've never needed to use that combo in a game in my life, least of all in a split-fucking-second reaction to dodge some hentai monster. I either sprinted out of the way or just took the hit, honestly.
That being said, the lore is pretty on point for an old 'Resident Evil' and has a lot of fun story arcs. The combat is generally satisfying, and it's a little more action oriented than some past games without losing the 'RE' feeling- which I liked. If Capcom comes out with a remake of this game, I'm adding to my wishlist with zero hesitation.
One major downside was Sheva. The AI is fine, and she was even a clutch hitter given the right loadout (I gave her a souped up pistol and a magnum making her a death machine- and her heals were always very well timed). You have a decent amount of control on how she behaves and what she does, but she usually doesn't need too much instruction to be a helpful companion. MY issue lies in the fact that while I was able to tell her stuff like, "take it!"- there was no "impregnate" command in my UI. I kept looking for it, and telling her to "take it!" but to no avail. I was not able to inhale deeply from her armpits as a health power up, nor chain her in my basement as a personal baby maker. This is unacceptable and a great miscarriage of justice. I will be calling my congressman about it. Good day, sir.

Alright, grab your drink and let’s dive into the wild ride that is Resident Evil 5! 🍻

Imagine this: you’re Chris Redfield, a beefy dude with biceps the size of watermelons, and you’re off to Africa to punch some zombies in the face. Oh, and you’ve got your buddy Sheva with you, who’s great, except when she decides to use all your health sprays on a paper cut. Cheers to that! 🥂

The game is like a rollercoaster of explosions, mutant monsters, and more explosions. You’ll be shooting, running, and occasionally wondering why Chris can’t just punch his way through every problem. Seriously, the guy punches a boulder at one point. A BOULDER. If that’s not worth a toast, I don’t know what is! 🍺

The story? Well, it’s got evil corporations, viruses, and a villain who looks like he stepped out of a Matrix movie. But who cares about the plot when you’re having this much fun? Just keep your drink handy and enjoy the ride. 🍷

So, if you’re looking for a game that’s more action-packed than a Michael Bay movie and sillier than a drunk uncle at a wedding, Resident Evil 5 is your jam. Just remember to play with a friend, because everything’s better with a buddy and a beer. Cheers! 🍻

Aaah, RE5. Welcome to Kijuju, a fictional region of West Africa.

Chris Redfield were still secretly addicted to anabolic steroids back then, extremely trained by punching boulders daily instead of punching bags just to test his might.
But eventually quitting the bad habit just right before RE6 and since then successfully achieved a slimmer body shape goal in RE7.
Enough about him. He's been in so many hardships and still struggling with his personal life.
Best to just leave him alone. He needs some privacy to sort things out.

This is Jill. The one and only.
Well, except her appearance which is a bit different from her debut in RE1. But still maintain her original personalities and character traits right from the RE1 and also RE Revelations part 1, as the Truly Original. Genuinely Authentic.
Jill Valentine.

Meet Sheva. Capcom's seems to have an acute amnesia about her, but we still remember this cool woman, even to this day.
And even Dead By Daylight honored her by making Sheva as one of the survivors in their game.
Her full name is Sheva Alomar.
I respect you for that, BHVR!
:3

What are these two women has in common or similarity?
Why they are still the best and got so much love among RE Fanboys and Fangirls?

They both are badasses. Independent. Tenacious.
Plus; also caring, humble, and always treat their teammate (man or woman) as equals in so many aspects.
Both are not arrogant or snobby delusional by thinking so full of themselves. Far from it.
Original Jill and Sheva are respectful towards their co-workers, as well as others. And never too proud to ask whenever they need some help. From anyone, anytime. Not even forget to always thank someone whenever they get some help.

Both of them are the perfect example of equity, mutual respect among humans and races; as well as any living beings, fairly down to earth. Living in equality.
Though these women are excellent in survival, marksmanship and managing strategy in combat or daily life situations, they never thinks so highly of themselves; because they knew that sky is the limit.

So be more like the truly original Jill Valentine and Sheva Alomar.

'Nuff said..

peak action resident evil with multiplayer too, SO good

It is extremely important that you play Resident Evil 5 with a friend, because there are two versions of Resident Evil 5 - the bad video game that's lame, where you escort an AI around and have a largely underwhelming time with a story that you made the mistake of taking seriously, and the AMAZING CO-OP GAME where you dismiss the very idea of caring about the story beyond cackling at it.

Play this game with friends, get the Gold Edition to play the extra stories that are both good and, even more importantly, the KICK ASS bonus mercenaries mode. I played two hundred or so hours of it on the PS3 and regret not a minute. This game KICKS ASS.

Get in there before they remake it and take these servers down, it'll go on sale for ridiculously cheap again.

It is stupid, it is loud, it is so insanely dumb, and I LOVE IT. If you love having fun, you will love this game IF YOU PLAY IT WITH A FRIEND.

Having done so recently, online play is surprisingly good overall.

There is so much positive words I could possibly say about this game. However to make it somewhat short, it's a lovely RE Classic! It's good with a friend or by yourself, and its plot is very intriguing. I will say, the controls are a bit.. odd to get used to, but when you do get comfortable with them, it's a very pleasant experience. I hope RE5 is remade relatively soon! <3

Good shooting in politically questionable scenarios. The full co-op experience is excellent when it comes to many of the game's setpieces. Time has been kind to this game and the art direction holds up well, though sadly the more light-hearted adventurous tone from RE4 doesn't carry over into this game.

I stopped playing because of the GFWL requirements and that service shutting down, rendering this game unplayable, but came back for the split-screen co-op (compatible with both keyboard and mouse/controller and controller/controller setups, and it allows you to unlock the screen size for each player too). It might be a fairly generic feeling RE game as a whole, but the amount of content you get with it and being able to bring a friend definitely helps the experience feel more fun. If you like RE4, this is basically just expanding on that game's gameplay but in Africa. :)

Resident Evil yang masih bisa local co-op / online co-op

+ Combat Still Fun
+ Bisa Local Co-op / Online Co-op

- Sheva BEBANNN!!!!

I played the campaign solo. Back in the day, I played the campaign co-op a lot with my best friend at the time so there's a lot of memories I have with this game.
As a solo experience, this game can be a lot of fun. The AI partner can do some very goofy things, and it isn't always the best fighter, but it does at least stay out of the way mostly and does a good job avoiding damage. The game is a bit on the short side, but there's a lot of side things I've yet to do outside the campaign.
I find it hilarious that they removed the QTE basically entirely from this version of the game, as far as I know I didn't do anything to cancel them myself. So, if you're really looking forward to those (lol) then maybe this will disappoint. Otherwise, I think it's a lot of fun!
