Ah I see I see. RE5 is pretty much my first RE game to be honest… I wasn’t much of a horror fan in the past, but ever since I played F.E.A.R., the horror survival genre just kind of grew on me =P.

Hmmm… Maybe you should just wait for RE6 or something =P. The online community for RE5 PC is not very active due to the fact that most people had already own the console versions of the game.

@zenical
We do have voice-chat, however unlike consoles, we have to go out of our ways to buy one instead of it being packed together with our PC. I can safely say that 90% of the people that I have played with does not have a microphone. Kind of a bummer really =(

Haha yes, that is why I say that it is frustrating to play with people on different skill levels >.<. I have experienced that way too many times as well =(.

Dunno whether you’re right, seeing that we have voice-chat enabled for the PS3 version but not for the PC version is kinda stupid >_>. I mean we all used the voice-chat to co-ordinate for some of the parts.

I hate the button-pressing scenes, extremely gay. My friend will keep missing EVERYTIME. So you can imagine we use 20-30 minutes just to get pass that “scene” ? -_-.

I have played RE 4 for NGC and I liked a lot. Now this version seems very good, but my graphics card cant support it for now.. ;(

@atmchino Oh crap!! I missed that out?? Damn I thought I put it in... Thanks for pointing it out! As for the rating thing, it started to blur as I shrink it. I have to fit it into the maximum width allowed on our page, so I had no choice =( I will get to sharpening it when do my next review (god knows when!). For the replay value, it is because of the way you manage your inventory. It is a little rpg style in the sense that you can pick up loots and money during the game, which in turn allows you to buy better weapons, or upgrade your current one. So you will be playing the campaign over and over again for that, and also other reasons like unlockables. Finishing the plot will take around 2-5 hours, depending on how you play it. Sometimes you just want to quickly play through the whole thing, so you finish it quicker. If you care about collecting as many loots as possible, then of course it will take longer... Much longer...

@Reltair Ah I see I see. Yeah if this game is not your type then just wait for the price drop. Or maybe you can get that Alternative Edition with the PS3 motion controller support XD.

My friends and I were interested in playing this co-op when it first came out.

The cost put us off though since I’m not really a fan of these types of games. I’ll probably get it when I find the price to be desirable. Oh, for the PS3 that is.

nice review. what was the reason for the high replay value? (excluding co-op reasons) and about how long does it take to finish through the plot?

a side question, is it me or is that zotaku scale a bit blurry? ;)
