Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Resident evil has never been and never will be scary.

Also i've finished RES 5 around 8 times now (i've lost count) and I still have no idea what that game is about, it's very rushed.

Also best part of RES 5, the cutscene before Wesker/Jill boss fight IMO.

Resident Evil is supposed to be called Bio Hazard anyway. Not a scary title like Silent Hill.

Now that it went action at RE4, I doubt it will be scary if the next games star Tricell unless there's lunatic T/G virus terrorists involved. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense. After all, Umbrella was more interested in making the best BOWs, not the scariest and most mindless. I'm assuming Tricell has the same goals.

How can you express your opinion as fact?

The first 2 games had their fare moments where I was scared for whatever reason.

Thats you then, however I and I'm sure generally more people have not been scared by the Resident evil franchise so eh...going with general consensus really.

Also I think the bad voice acting the fact they look like Lego men and also any other creature present other then zombies in the series ruin any fear the game had to offer.

(although since these were out back when the PS1 had "amazing" graphics you can discount my Lego men reason.)

General consensus can kiss my rican ass. 131

The shock-scare was what kept me on my toes back then. Though I was more scared in the first Silent Hill...mostly because of the fog keeping the player from seeing the enemy.

Screw RE (well no, I like the series).

Left 4 Dead, baby.

Well of course. I thought it was famous knowledge by now that seven minutes was all that could be spared to play with when they thought up the plot of the game.

truf, I play L4D like it's a freakin MMO.

L4D... Now that's Zombie game I like.

Edit: on a off topic note: The dialoge in resident evil series makes me LOL at times. "Master of Unlocking"

L4D is just a multiplayer game, barely a zombie game...You could replace the zombies with a bunch of meth-addicts, would not matter.

it's ****ing awesome and thats all that matters.

It is overrated. It is pretty fun in Multiplayer but even that grows stale.

No seriously.

The Tank is basically Lou Ferrigno after doing meth.

Also, the advertisement with a sexy picture of Chun Li pleases me.

They could atleast bring that virus back or make a remake of the first 3 with the new over the shoulder look.

take out the laser, make it tougher to break free from grasps, allow more zombies to join in when they grab you, let the infection eat away at your health when left un-healed & depending on the creature or type of virus change the infection speed, decrease ammunition amount, leave the dead bodies around (allowing crimson heads & other zombies to crawl in and lay around the area), make the lickers better (cause RE 5 they were a disappointment.)

I could go on ๐Ÿ™‚

Bring the virus back? You mean it surviving Raccoon City via PIS?

I think they've used the RE1 scenario enough times and there wouldn't be any remakes with the Wii rail shooters doing the job. Besides, they need to give Racoon City a rest.

They still have terrorists with the samples, ex. Resident Evil: Degeneration

the rail shooters make me feel like I'm at an arcade playing house of the dead for free.

We need a new city. Maybe somewhere in Nevada.

las vegas, hollywood, NY city, North or South Dakota areas ๐Ÿ˜

Sin, Nintendo's series haven't gone stale by my standards. You'd have to define it by yours.

Mario remains different branching off in its 3D areas, its bringing back the 2D scrollers and with stuff like Paper Mario that series isn't anywhere near stale to me.

Zelda won't ever get stale to me. It's never too boring to solve some more puzzles. Especially ones that can get as creative as Zelda.

Fire Emblem isn't MIA. It just had a brand new game released last year.

I've never played an Earthbound game. Can't talk about it.

Haven't played a Star Fox game either, though I hear it isn't very good.

I don't think F-Zero has been incredibly popular, but I think it's most recent game was pretty well received.

Kirby always has something new.

Nintendo still did extremely well with Brawl. Personally I doubt that series is going to stop but they haven't given any word on another game yet.

Pokemon doesn't get stale for me either. I love the new Pokemon and they keep evolving the battling system. As a matter of fact, they just released a remake of Gold and Siler.

Mario Kart is doing good, even though I disliked MKWii.
