1. Merchant is gone, all purchasing is done before game starts
2. Purchasing is a pain in the ass, and you need to individually select everything for stats
3. Inventory is ridiculously small, and although Sheva can hold items for you...
4. ...shes a complete idiot, and will use everything like crazy. Give her a green herb for safekeeping, she'll use it. Give her 30 pistol rounds, she'll unload it a matter of seconds.
5. Sheva does not pick up items sometimes, which is weird as hell.
6. Enemies move way too quickly, and dont really help when the controls arent meant for action packed gameplay
7. Respawning enemies in boss fights. When im fighting a boss, let me enjoy the fight. Not have endless amounts of enemies attack me, whilst i fight. Theres a difference between difficulty and annoying.
8. Some enemies have a ridiculous amount of health, and deal a ridiculous amount of damage. For example, a regular parasite dog can literally kill you (full health to zero) if sheva doesnt help you, and isnt phased by pistol ammo whatsoever.
9. Major lack in "death scenes". The chainsaw death in the demo is not the "censored" version as some people have called it, thats how it happens. As a matter of fact, the ONLY death scene is you falling to the ground, then the "You Are Dead" screen over it.
10. Relating to the earlier points, RE5 has that Left 4 Dead type of experience where you will need a co-op partner in order to properly play the game.
11. Load times in RE4: Non Existant. Load Times in RE5: Existant
12. Herbs are almost useless for healing. Scratch that, healing is useless. Whenever you get hit, you go into "dying" mode, meaning that Sheva will walk up and heal you. There are no limits to it, so you can go into that mode as much as you please.
13. Dont quote me on this, but i think that the game will be considerably shorter than the fairly long RE4 campaign. There are six chapters in RE5, and i beat the first 1 in about 30 minutes.
14. There is NOTHING scary in this game. RE4 at least had some good moments. RE5 takes place in bright ass Africa, where you even have a partner with a confident british accent that makes you always feel soft and cozy. Anyone remember when the old REs?
15. 100% Linear. The old REs would have you searching the mansion to solve a puzzle. RE4 didnt go that far, but it still had you backtrack in some areas. RE5 is almost completely on one single path, although there are split paths in order to collect treasure.
Game is still pretty fun though, and i cant wait till the street date so that i can play with people who arent Sheva.
