Resident Evil 5 vs Resident Evil 4

RE4 IMO, I preferred the storyline and the weapon and inventory systems.

RE4 was definitely a scarier game. RE5 is, mechanically speaking, a superior game. I would've like to see RE5 less action oriented with more puzzles and jumpy encounters. There was one zombie that jumped out of a stack of boxes. Absurd.

Hell yea it was scary.

RE4 has lots of scares.

RE5 has less scares.

Capcom does realize that you can mix action with horror right? After playing through RE5 it's like Capcom forgot what RE4 had and decided to make RE5 more actiony. I don't have a problem with action it's just that RE used to put some scares in you but now it's hardly doing that. It's like Konami making a Silent Hill game with less horror (wow would that franchise plummet if that happened).

RE4 and RE5 are in a tie for best action.

RE4 wins for best horror.

I was scared shitless when i was in that lake in 4.... 5, not so much.

You were scared of the Del Lago?

What scared me in RE4 were those zealots chanting, the first time I encountered a Regenerator, walking down a dark hallway (while playing as Ashley) and suddenly suits of armor attack, those two women wielding chainsaws, and those friggin Plagas that popped out of their host's body during a dark rainy night.

the chanting in 4 was creepy. the yelling in 5 was just like ok

All those villagers in RE5 look like they snorted up a bunch of cocaine.
