    urahonky, you're good people and all, and you're right, co-op certainly is fun.

    Setting, weapons, controls, bosses, regular enemies, and yes, even story is all better in RE4, by a long shot. That outweighs co-op.

    Hell even the merc levels and characters are better!

    Thanks XoB.

    I'll give you weapons, bosses, and story. Though... Maybe story... I like Wesker enough that I might push it above RE4, but then you've got Leon...

    Hmm.

    Too many gun toting idiots in RE4's regular duders. Also RE4 has wolverine duders, the monks, those god forsaken dogs, better chainsaw guys... I could go on.

    Also Luis! Sure, RE4 doesn't really have Wesker, except for awesome Wesker in Mercs!

    One more thing; Besides boulder punching RE4 has much better QTEs. Especially the knife fight.

    Okay I'll give you that. I do like the end QTE's for RE5, you know with the jet.

    And Luis is pretty awesome. Plus the helicopter guy that gets blown up. I loved him.

    fuuuuuck wesker

    he is so plain and bland and boring and because he's attached to RE's main plot he's also irreparably stupid

    at least saddler had a delightful taste for camp

    Wesker's melee attacks are super fucking sweet so Mercs is good

    Controls are better because you can sidestep

    Weapons are better because you can get a gatling gun

    Regular enemies were exactly the same mechanically, plus a few new ones (executioner, pod guy, spiders and such). I guess RE4 is better because it doesn't have quite as blatant racism?

    Story was admittedly far more entertaining in RE4 because it had a Napoleonic midget who taunted you

    Bosses were good up until the final one for RE5, so I guess RE4 has that

    I guess it's more of a toss up than I thought! But to say that one is clearly better than the other is stupid
    Also co-op is awesome

    But Wesker is so fly

    I was squealing with glee when I was running around as him in mercenaries in RE4, falcon punching guys and stomping on their heads

    and his voice is awesome

    p.s. If you are sidestepping then I take it you are using the Gears-style controls? EWWWW

    I wouldn't be too optimistic, though I think it'd be a pretty awesome addition. Especially given the numerous automatic weapon choices.

    Plus, you know, neckbreak.

    *mumbles* They should have an ultimate mercenary mode with all the decent characters

    I was missing Ada Wong and Hunk from the roster.

    Yes, I'm sure I'm a dirty communist for liking Ada Wong, but I enjoyed playing as her in Mercenaries. In my defense, 'liking' might be the bad word, since I don't think I'm really fond of...well, anyone in the RE games, character-wise. Just haven't grown on me...yet. No one stands out.

    "You were almost a Jill Sandwich."

    I am yet to own RE5 due to lack of moneys, but having played it several times, I can say it is pure sex (Though the switching up of X and Square had me confused at first). Shitty thing is, my buddy spoiled one thing I certainly did not want to hear.

    I could never get into RE5 mercs for some reason. I said to myself, if I wanna play mercs I'll load up RE4.

    I'm on the same boat. I think I was spoiled by RE4wii.

    That said, I found RE5 to be disappointing on release because it wasn't as good as re4.

    Fired it up a few weeks ago however, and it was much more fun. Then the second 360 died. Fuck.

    Man I can't believe Capcom is going to charge full retail price for updates to RE5 and SF4. They are out of control.

    Were you not here for the 20 billion different versions of Street Fighter 2 during the 16bit era?

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6230641.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;10

    And from the Article
    Capcom wrote:
    "As a stand-alone game, Super Street Fighter IV won't be compatible online with its predecessor. However, Capcom has said that the game won't be a full-priced game, and the publisher plans to offer a special bonus to gamers who already own Street Fighter IV."

    Anyways. Back on topic with RE5. Ill buy whatever releases for it because MAN did I play that game to hell.

    Yay, my PC copy arrived. Should I dive onto online co-op without a mic or is Sheva's AI not that bad? Normal or Hard? I've played Normal RE4 but didn't try Professional because I couldn't be bothered to snipe ganados with the Red 9 all over again (I actually watched a speed run prior to hunting down a used copy of RE4, so I was determined to save cash by bypassing the rifle and just sniping with a pistol :lol:).

    Don't need a mic if you're playing with strangers, most people on co-op don't seem chatty. The main problem with playing co-op from a fresh start is that nearly everyone has maxed out weapons and knows the game like the back of their hands. It dilutes the excitement and terror when your partner runs ahead of you and mows down everything in their path. I suggest playing it through once fully solo unless you reach a part that you find too tough, at which you get a co-op partner to help you ONLY for that part.

    Chicago Typewriter is a million times better than the gatling gun. RE5 is missing the bug dudes, the claw dudes, the chainsaw ladies, REGENERATORS, IRON MAIDENS, and a ton of other awesome units. I can't believe anyone would say the regular dudes in RE5 are better some how.

    Hell even the merc levels and characters are better!

    I disagree with some of that especially controls and weapons which I think other than the Chicago Typewriter that RE5 has way better weapons, I really liked both sets of bosses in RE4 and RE5, I would say it's equal but I thought the bosses were great in RE5 and coop just added to it but I am also of the opinion that RE5 is almost as good as RE4.

    This is anti-sense

    Can you properly yell "GET TO THA CHOPPA" while firing the Chicago Typewriter?

    No?

    I don't know if this applies here, but you should make sure that Sheva doesn't have the stun baton when you're up against chainsaw guys or anything that might maul her in hand-to-hand.
