Definately

Underrated and Overrated Video Games

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Got any evidence to support that, bucko? You only have to browse through the forums of any fan website in the Resident Evil community to realise how popular the game is, and for the wrong reasons. Was it a good game? Yes. But a good Resident Evil game? Not at all. It changed too much of what made the preceding games what they were, to the point that it's almost something entirely different. Resident Evil 4 consistently makes it into the top lists of all-time best video games. RE4 is the Skyrim of action horror games.

Oh right, that's another thing. It's not survival horror.

Resident Evil 0 was the best of the old school series? Sure, it had some neat concepts and ideas but it's nowhere near the level of REmake. Lazy, uninspired boss designs - literally every boss was just an oversized insect or creature, compare that with the boss encounters in RE2. Far too much backtracking in RE0 too, not as bad as CODE Veronica but still prevalent.

I agree with you on RE7. I feel that if RE1 was released today as a new game, it would be RE7. I enjoyed it a lot.

@Prawn

You went a whole post without mentioning fabricant, kudos to you sir.

All 'slow' RE bosses suck, because of the tank controls and lack of abilities, each boss fight basically boils down to 'did you bring enough herbs and ammo?' with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions. I dont really care what they look like, and if we are going by enemy designs as a marker for good RE games, then RE4 takes the entire series in a landslide.

RE4 deserves every bit of praise it gets, yes its not a strict survival horror, but that doesnt make it a bad RE game, the series dared to try something different and it paid off, the same way it paid off with 7 (which is nearly as action heavy as 4 by the way). It managed to be more exciting, while still maintaining an excellent tone and unnerving atmosphere, it was a game that allowed you to be scared and soak in the creepy while still being a badass. RE4 is the best in the series and one of the most sophisticated games ever made. There is no 'wrong reason' to praise it.

Unless of course you are one of those hype backlash contrarians who want to say that great games aren't great to sound a little edgy like those people who shit on Fire Emblem Awakening.

EDIT: Also to the thread in general, there is a difference between an 'overrated game' and a great game that just hasn't aged well.

For example, Skyrim is overrated, but Golden Eye and Street Fighter 2 just have been corroded by time.

quick question, do all characters obtain one of these strange objects or do we get the option just not to (not that anyone would want to)

@Satoshi Kyou

Everyone gets one, as its what allows you to use cards!

Underrated and Overrated Video Games

Resident Evil 4 is overrated.

@Prawn

No it Isn't.

All joking aside, me, id admit that every Resident Evil game before 4 is overrated. Like I get that people missed the full-on puzzle horror aspect, but the recent games didnt need to get dogged on for being different from what they used to be.

I actually liked 5-7 for what they were, to be honest. Especially 7, but thats just me, and me likes the series in general.

@Majoras End

Hmm, I think the REmake for the gamecube is overrated, resident evil 1 however perfectly re-created on a new console, wasnt an amazing game to begin with, it was an ambitious jump into a completely new genre, and it deserves props for pioneering but little else.

I think Code Veronica was shit, and 2 and 3 aren't really overrated or underrated, they seem to get deserved responses. But Resident Evil 0 was absolutely overlooked, and easily the best out of the 'slow' games.

I think 7 was fantastic and probably a little underrated.

But 5 and 6 were just BAD like 5 was playable after a shit ton of DLC but 6 was just un-enjoyable. I dont buy the whole 'BUT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE RIDICULOUS' as if that is some how an excuse to make a low quality game. There are plenty ridiculous capcom-esque games (No More Heroes, God Hand, Mad World, Vanquish) that are ridiculous but not poor. I see the same defenses for those crappy 'Modern B-movie throwbacks' like Machette and Machette Kills, just because your film knows its shit, doesnt make it less shit.

Resident Evil 6 isnt a 'fun bombastic action game', its a poor, clunky 3rd person shooter with an un-even tone and Rocket Launcher Zombies, play House of The Dead Overkill instead.
