Resident Evil 5

[Runeaddyste]

Oroboros was a large serpant creature in mythology

A well written and fair review of Resi 5. I agree completely.

Actually Uroboros (spelled in an odd way) is from Norse Mythology, it's the world serpent that devours it's own tail. The one that Thor will slay during Ragnarok only to perish in a sea of it's venom.

>>>----Therumancer--->

I could have sworn it was called the Midgard Serpent because it was wrapped around the Earth (or Midgard). Not trying to start a fight, just confused.

Also:

"Come on Chris! I expected more from you, when will you realise there is no spoon!"

Genius.

No worries about starting a fight.

To the best of my knowlege they are the same thing. In the end of days Thor is supposed to kill the Midgard serpent (I mean this is Ragnarok after all) and then drown in a sea of it's venom. Obviously it's supposed to be a pretty big serpent if he dies in a sea of venom left behind by it's passing.

Midgard Serpent, Urobolos (Ourobolos, differant spellings, same thing) same thing. More than one legend about it.

I could be wrong, but that is how I learned things.

My problems wiht Sheva were a bit different. She would not fire her weapon at allllllllll, even after I gave her the inifinite ammo bow. Also she would pick up ammo for weapons neither of us were using. And because you cant tell her to discard something, i would always have to take it from her like a child and throw it away haha. When she did fire her weapon she was pretty accurate, but i felt pretty alone especially when i was being attacked by a zombie and she refused to knock him off of me, but instead just stared with her gun at him. An easy way to solve alot of these problems would be someway to control her, like a checklist of what ammo you want her to pick up or to pick up gold when every she came across it. An example of this is in the ruins part with the pullchains, when you pull the one on the bottom and her the one above you, i had to run all the way back up there to pick up the treasure she ignored. Another would be setting a marker to show how low is low enough for her to heal you. Even combat strategy for her wouldve been a good option to control (ex: melee[stun rod prob], close combat, granader, support, range) Easy solutions the programmers probably shouoldve added in.

Another problem was with multiplayer. Everytime you start a split screen game you need to get the level started, then have the second player press start after it saves, then go back into the game. Also on xbox360 it needs to find the data device every fricken time. It can get very annoying with something taht couldve been fixed with prob one line of code. Overall with xbox I think that if I have only one data device it should automatically use that one. The same problem came up with rockband i believe that each player needed to say with device to use when trying to log in. I dont think I know anyone with a memory card for xbox360.

Sorry, kinda of a rant haha. Good review though!

You dont use a 'Memory Card' For the Xbox 360, you can take out the hard drive and bring it to your friends house

And yes, I loved RE5, I never use SOlo, if im not playing Co Op with my brother, im playing co op and slayer etc using xbox live.

I really didnt like the way that your view switches from over left shoulder to over the right when you play as Sheva. It's a small thing but I found it really disorientating.

About 5 minutes into the game I started calling Sheva 'Shaba' as in 'Mr lover babe...SHABA!' and found it became considerably more entertaining.

Also, I really liked this game - granted RE4 flew right by me without a sniff of play time, but this was certainly a lot of fun with a friend - playing on your own was as much fun as rubbing your genitals against a cheese grater, but still, some people like that kind of thing I guess...

Actually I use both a 120gb HDD and a small Memory Unit to store my Profile - it's jarring that every game wants to know which I want to save to but makes life a lot easier when trundling to a mates house and earning achievements together.

RE4 is really worth a play, even now, if you have access to a Game Cube or PS2. I'd recommend that as well.

I know what you mean the first time it happened to me I didn't know what was going on and it confused me a little too but I got used to it eventually.

If you dont use memory cards for the 360 I am now worried for what I have sticking out the front of my console! Could have sworn its where I save games!
