Эта часть — самая продаваемая в серии на территории США. Вопрос: "Почему?!"
Да, технически игра лучше четвёртой части, но в плане логики и сражений порой выводит из себя. Пример: вы сражаетесь против толпы зомби-воинов, включающих двух перекачанных миниганщиков. А в конце игры химик-Крис (судя по его мышечной массе) каким-то чудом вручную сталкивает огромный баул.
Пятая часть не то что сохранила планку качества четвёрки, так ещё и не догнала предшественницу.
Лучше пройдите в кооперативе шестую. А для одиночного прохождения игр серии Resident Evil нового поколения пойдут все части, вышедшие после пятой

Mientras todos lo jugaron y rejugaron hasta al hartazgo y ya hace mucho, yo pude terminar este juego recién este año. Que puedo decir, todavía no tengo una opinión tan clara para esta entrega, pero puedo decir sin dudar que me la pasé muy bien. Es divertido, tiene gancho, cumple en casi todos sus apartados aunque hay que tener en cuenta que va muy sobre seguro en todo momento en cuanto a gameplay, es demasiado similar a su predecesor, y eso la baja. Pero quitando eso el juego está bien, tiene un montón de contenido extra, y su campaña es muy rejugable.
En cuanto a si es un buen Resident como tal, la verdad es que no, más bien es una mezcla de sobreexceso de elementos que funcionaron en el 4 + unos graficazos potentes bajo la luz del sol + niveles de acción desbordados a tal punto que se vuelve absurdo. Aún asi y todo no puedo odiarlo por eso, siempre se disfruta una historia de RE por más absurda que sea, ya lo considero un clásico y parte de la saga, no sé si fundamental, pero es parte de lo que conforma el camino a la evolución (o involución) de lo que es una saga que no puedo dejar de amar.

I liked the game but it’s not really notable, and if you’re worrying about difficulty and you’re thinking about playing this game, then just know it gets pretty formulaic and you get used to fighting enemies very quickly in this game. Which is common with most if not all RE games but ESPECIALLY with this one. Inventory system is a pain in the ASS tho and story wise it’s decently interesting. Not much to write home about but it was ight. Just be wary of Wesker cuz he can be a bitch. Overall an ight game tho.

The one word I associated with this game was desperation. After my replay it will be - hilarious.

Resident Evil 5 is a coop-game through and through. Just don’t even try to play it alone! 
I asked my old friend Nick, with whom I finished this game more than 10 years ago in sheer endless night sessions. And he agreed to be in for this adventure!

RE5 is a drama queen: Overacting voice actors, over-the-top, unrealistic action and head-shaking dialogue. It is loaded with what the fuck - moments and you can not stop to giggle and burst out laughing. But you just can not deny, that it is flawed to its core. And not only, because it is 15 years old, using outdated mechanics like rail-roaded level design, cannon fodder boss battles and stupid quick time events. No, it is simply frustrating and unfair, because it is hard to read and unpredictable: The hitboxes of the enemies vary and are always designed in your disadvantage. The placement of ammo drops is so unpredictable, as you are sometimes shit-loaded with shots and sometimes cornered with only a knife as your last chance for survival. The weapons are so badly balanced, that you always go for the grenade launcher and the shotgun. And it happens far more than once, that you feel stuck and stupid, as the solution to a puzzle or the weak spot of an enemy is so hidden, you just don’t get it.



That is why you need a coop-buddy: To cope this frustration-enducing and flawed design and turn it upside down by tag-team roundhouse kicking the shit out of a chainsaw-swinging zombie. Or solving puzzles in an indiana jones-like crypt filled with mutated naked mole rats. Resident Evil 5 is packed with moments like this, where you can goof around and escape just a breath away from the next Game Over.

What I was surprised of, was the difficulty, because in our first playthrough, we were frequently rage-quitting and now, we were stunned, whenever a battle-winning cut-scene was triggered earlier than expected. I can not pinpoint it, if this is based on a noticeable re-work of the controls in the remastered version, we played. The growth of skill in the last ten years of both our gaming careers. Or the sheer growth patience based on adulthood and trained frustration tolerance. Likely a mixture of all of this factors, which ultimately result in the updated conclusion: hilarious!



It is for sure, that if Resident Evil 5 would launch today, it would be crushed by fans and press alike and simply vanish. But this game was released a while ago now and still holds a rare and memorable coop-campaign within a c-movie zombie/virus-scenario. It is a hybrid that is hilariously bad and good at the same time.

Playing this game, is a genuinely irritating, frustrating, and a hair pulling experience. Firstly, this game suffers from the, "Games to Windows Live" curse that games from this era suffers from. When first purchased, this game was not playable without having to edit the files. That to me, is so very frustrating and disingenuous. You have no issues leaving your game up to be purchased by people who may be life long lovers of your series, but become dismissive and non-caring because of not being able to play the game they just got. This also doesn't account for the constant and numerous bugs when playing. This time around, I played with my spouse. It was felt that it would be a fun and similar experience to another Resident Evil game we had played early in our relationship. Genuinely, the main line title was worse than the one we played, that being Revelations 2 for context. Gameplay is fun in the beginning, sadly this doesn't continue for long. It really starts to show when you get towards the end of the first part and get on the boat. The gunplay does not play well to the stiff and isometric feeling controls. It feels like you have to fight with your character constantly to them do what you want. In some instances, this can be really hindering when precise actions need to be done. The bosses also make the game feel like an unbalanced mess. Most of them, show no real tells that you are actually doing anything to them. If you have never really played this game before, you won't know that a third person shooter game has puzzles as their bosses. It just feels so unsatisfying to fight them and it makes every single one of them a reminder about the horrible choice to play this game. The story really isn't anything stand out when put next to the same games in the series from this era. Unlike RE4. all the choices for this game design make it feel less immersive and more of an arcade game. It feels like the game is constantly winking to the camera in how ridiculous some of the plot beats and abilities are. It also doesn't help that the blatant 2000's edge factor of the time this game was released, is drenched all over it. From the settings, dialogue, character designs, and many other choices, you can tell that it genuinely dates it more than it realizes. I don't think I can recommend this game to anyone who isn't a RE super fan. If you need to know the plot for lore reasons, legit just watch through a plot summary on YouTube. This game is so un-fun in every thing it tries to do and makes you feel exhausted after playing. In summation, there are so many better games you can play other than this. Do yourself a favor, go and play them and steer clear of this one. 1.5 / 5.

Personally the most bored I've been while playing a RE game. I cannot talk about RE6 as this was the last straw for me, but think about everything you like about RE4, and imagine a game that doesn't do anything to improve on that formula, but worse, sometimes it managed to make a few steps back:

Core gameplay is the same, visual are worse, barely looks like an horror game thanks to the generic pìss filter, co-op was unnecesary and broke immersion, partner's AI is braindead and vastly inferior to Ashley (at least you could put her in the Trash where she belongs), weapon shop has no charm, it just appears at the end of each chapter out of nowhere, the inventory system is barely put together and extremely limited, the gore is abysmal, might as well not be there, most weapons feel generic, the turret sections ruin the pace of the game, they happen during some bosses too, which are mid at best, the stupid quick time events during cutscenes are still here for some reason.

Seriously, I'm struggling to find something I could call an improvement over RE4, I guess a prompt for attacking downed enemies? I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here, since this is something one could do in the previous game as well w/out a prompt. Let's be honest here for a minute, the few people who overhype this thing like there is no tomorrow aren't exactly RE fans, they're mostly meatheads coming from CoD or whatever other game looking for some couch co-op in an era where every videogame was a carbon copy online FPS, heck even the developers themselves admitted they wanted the Call of Duty audience so, yeah... good for them. Now they're gonna remake this and who knows wth they'll cook, not looking forward to it. For any actual RE fan, you'll most definitely have more fun playing the previous game.
