no its not resident evil 4 was scary as hell.
the controls were ok because it was a survival horror game, so the controls need to be like that, RE5 was a action game so it should have fast action controls not slow survival horror controls.
RE4 scared the crap out of me, and still does.
when i see the anvil guy i run as fast as i can papering my pants, constantly turning around to see how close to me he is.
in RE5 i stand my ground pump him with lead rinse and repeat.
RE4 is still one of the best games i have ever played so i guess it was inevitable that RE5 would disappoint me, but RE is suppose to be a survival horror game NOT a action game.
horror games have gone down the shitter.
there either turned into action games.
or there turned into torture porn games like SAW or silent hill homecoming.
even FEAR2
what the hell happened to that?
fear was freaking incredible!
but the second one was a glorified shooter with ghosts.
FEAR 2 + resident evil 5 = the 2 biggest disappointments of 2009.

really?
resi 5 is the biggest disappointment in the history of video games to me.
where do i begin?
the controls are a pain in the a$$
they turned it into a action game when its suppose to be a survival horror.
the zombies just lacked strategy, and there was no suspense what so ever.
even the chainsaw and executor did not scare me, they take some thinking and strategy but nothing in resident evil 5 is suspenseful.

thats what dead space 2 is looking like too.
there trying to make issac a stronger more bas a$$ character.
there trying to make you pose more of a threat than your enemies.
thats the LAST! thing you want to do in a survival horror because it kills the suspense.
suspense in horror games is vital, without that its nothing.

The only thing wrong with RE5 was the crazy amount of breakable barrels and the lack of exploration I reckon

why is the SDF even here?
if uncharted 2 is so brilliant go play it and get the ^%$# of a xbox 360 site.
jesus christ the amount of articles ive read latley dripping with SDF saliva is absolutely pathetic!
i guess the myth is true.
SDF do not buy games, they just talk about them.

thank you.
finally someone who can appreciate a game for its storyline and gameplay instead of graphics and complete utter hype.
for me GOTY would be a close race between infamous and assassins creed 2.
i cant choose though because both were equally as epic.

badly designed game?
is that why it takes over 20 hours to finish the campaign and a extra 5 to unlock everything in the game?
is that why it has the best story in a video game ever?
yes even better than MGS4s, at least this is a game and not a movie and also its no where near as confusing.

actually open world games are automatically better than linear ones.
thats why all my favorite games are open world games, it gives you choice in what you can do.
uncharted 2 is far to repetitive for my liking every level is just a repeat of the last.
at least with open world games if you dont want to do a mission you can run around and create some trouble.

no.
you = EPIC FAIL!
how would you put multiplayer into assassins creed 2?
seriously it would be completley unbalanced.
not all games need multiplayer to be good games, in fact ill argue games that dont have MP are normally better like bioshock or god of war or assassins creed or uncharted.

a grow a brain jesus christ!
assassins creed 2 is a brilliant game and deserved GOTY.
why?
because it actually has a story line.
whats the one in uncharted 2 i have forgotten?
you find a dagger, travel half way across the world to shamballa.
50K says you have not even played assassins creed 2 so go play it that grab the guide which explains every little detail in the game.
and if your not papering your pants at the end of that theres something severely wrong with you.
the amount of depth and thought that has gone into assassins creed 2 is absolutely mind boggling!
