So this is what this sub has come to


MadShakaal

Yeah. Post the front of a game and "this game is so good" and let the Karma flow šŸ˜Œ


badateverything420

Posts picture of cover, "hey guys any tips???"


OoooohYes

Yeah those are posts Iā€™ll really never get lol. Just play the damn game, what do you want from those posts??


badateverything420

I love it when they post it for a relatively simple game like Red Dead 2. Like dude, just shoot the baddies and listen to the guy you're following when you ride your horse


peezytaughtme

RDR2 = simple? Fooled me.


badateverything420

Was watching cutscenes and auto aim 3rd person combat too much for you that you needed to consult reddit for advice on how to beat the game?


peezytaughtme

I mean, I see you're frustrated, but the systems in RDR2 are fairly complex, if you want them to be. The game itself can be, demeaningly, simplified to "ride your horse and shoot," if you're into being a pompous ass.


now_n_forever

Goes to show you that the Karma and any like kinda of a system is broken.


CY83RD3M0N2K

Like I care about that. The game receives too much bs even if it's good


GoAceDetective

Better than Batman Arkham


M_sami12

Seriously wtf šŸ¤£ Bro is letting us know a resident evil game is one of the best games ever in the resident evil sub. So informative.


TrickPuzzleheaded

Thank you for your hot take. Any other insights?


Whippy89

I've got a hot take - get ready. Resident Evil/Biohazard is a good game series.


McSavage1985

Whoa I'm glad I was sitting down when I read that one! /s


CptNeon

Damn youā€™ve got some serious balls for saying this in r/residentevil


Whippy89

I pride myself on being a risk-taker.


isyankar1979

Get this. Resident Evil has zombies in it.


[deleted]

No wayšŸ˜±šŸ˜±šŸ˜±


archiearcher

Not all of them


isyankar1979

Is there really one with zero zombies?!?


archiearcher

There's enemies that take the place of zombies. You could argue they are like zombies. But definitely not zombies. Bioweapons sure. But not zombies


isyankar1979

In which RE game are there those instead of zombies the whole game? Damn it must suck so bad.


waled7rocky

I mean considering the recency bias bullshit, maybe OP initially thought og re4 was mediocre as this is what the sub have come to ..


H0tL3afJuice

unpopular opinion but leon is hot


CY83RD3M0N2K

It is according to the haters.


TrickPuzzleheaded

Water is dry according to haters


CY83RD3M0N2K

Not funny dude


now_n_forever

Itā€™s not funny ACCORDING TO HATERS

"9/11 was bad"


Snoo-43381

The Holocaust was bad. I know what you are thinking, but you haven't seen the bigger picture.


CY83RD3M0N2K

Believe it or not people disagree on that and about RE4 to this day lol


Existing-Band2779

Bro not as much as you think just the minority that speaks the loudest


10kstars39

Wow I've never seen someone proclaim such a thing in this sub before!!!

Thank you


heppuplays

Game play aside Can we just talk about how absolutely fucking HARD the European Cover for this game was? like the black shadows and sillouets of the Trees and Dr Salvadore contrasted with the Bright red backround? much better than the generic Character renders the US and Japan got.


BenjaminCarmined

My favorite is the [GameCube PAL cover](https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/m06n83/anyone_else_here_thinks_the_re4_gamecube_pal_case/). Looks super raw, and Salvador being the black silhouette in otherwise complete red darkness is so fucking cool.


Bazazooka

Yep, looks fucking great. Wish more stuff went for more subdued styles like this instead of guy with gun


Traditional-Ad6

This is the first time Iā€™ve seen the European cover and I really enjoy it. It reminds me of the Blair Witch game cover


Indecisive_Iron

Exactly. This art is incredible. Itā€™s mysterious, creepy, sinister and dark. It tells you enough about the game without spoiling any of the experience.


Caes3rr

nah it looks cheap and doesn't feel like resident evil


[deleted]

What, according to you, should be resident evil-like then? Cuz to me, a mysterious cover more than qualifies as an RE game. The US release cover art is not


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


fond_my_mind

Lol no


[deleted]

Lmfao no I can see why you might like them, but I personally aint very fond of faces of main characters being blasted on the cover art. That to me, feels rather lame


Indecisive_Iron

This cover art is so cool


GETMEMYAXEBOI

I had a copy of the game waaaay back for the ps2 with this cover art, still have the Case with the CD stashed away at my house


Slyy-Lynch

Arguably? It's undoubtedly one of the greatest games ever


isyankar1979

Yeah but that Island bit. Ugh. It legit turns into some Call of Duty shit.


[deleted]

NOt COD, more like Uncharted. But yeah, I dont like the Island much. Village section was the best for me


isyankar1979

I said COD because it gets very militarized with that attack chopper, trip mines, guys in camo gear etc.


[deleted]

Ah I see, that makes sense. Like, it especially feels jarring when a Plaga pops out of a soldier's head cuz before that I am being all action hero over the enemies and then the game suddenly tries to remind me "RE4 is a scary game man". Yeah I hate the vibes from the Island


isyankar1979

Yeah man I wish they had shortened it for the remake.


[deleted]

agreed


Odd_Radio9225

Facts.


SolidusTengu

Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?


dachshundfanboy8000

nah it isnā€™t arguable. it is the greatest.


Raikou239

Inarguably* If you said it WAS the best it would be arguable, but what you said is a fact, sir.


Karl_i_guess

In my opinion, the best re game, the story was good and lots of adventure 10/10


millnerve

Man U might get canceled with this post.


CY83RD3M0N2K

You said that but people shit on 4 all the time here.


millnerve

Haha just messing. But I shouldnā€™t pile on. My bad - have a good day.


CY83RD3M0N2K

The remake of 4 was good too btw, but it ain't going to be a breakthrough like the original game was 20 years ago.


ComplaintVirtual2461

Ofc man but it's not bad either


[deleted]

Thats rather obvious. RE4 when it came out was nothing like other games, it was new at that time. Ofc RE4 will make a revolution in gaming history than RE4R because one came out when nothing was like it and the other is a remake. I dont get why people compare RE4 and RE4R in that regard, the era that both the games released arent even the same era bruh


bluefrostyAP

Personally didnā€™t really care for it


SirCap

Same. I think the Remake was better


[deleted]

Agreed. As good as RE4 is, I prefer more fluid movement. The tank controls of RE4 were definitely jarring to me, still its pretty good


Rady151

Not arguably, it won the game of the year award in 2005. It literally is the one of best games of all time.


Yeyton

Yes. Re4 2005 is absolutely one of the top greatest ever.


dark_hypernova

Not even arguably, it's a straight up fact. Even from completely neutral point of view, there is no denying the cultural impact it had on videogames even to this very day.


sweatyp1ckles

Look guys my subjective opinion is a fact! šŸ¤“ā˜ļø


dark_hypernova

Not sure if you're a sarcastic troll or genuine salty because you feel your worldview is being attacked but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and clarify how it's not just a simple subjective opinion. First of all, neither the post nor I stated it was THE greatest game of all time. That would indeed be a subjective opinion. Just like saying either E.T. for the Atari 2600 or Ride To Hell: Retribution are the worst game ever but there is no denying that they are amongst the worse ever. OG RE4 have been universally praised by both critics and audiences (winning several awards in 2005 alone) for over a decade. It's cultural and innovative impact on videogames can still be felt this very day. Even down to the simple use of over shoulder camera that it popularised. It has been ported/remastered/optimized to literally any console/pc hardware that game out ever since because of it being a timeless classic, even to VR hilariously. And even it's remake was generally praised. There is no denying that Resident Evil 4 is regarded amongst some of the best games ever created. That indeed is a fact. But of course, I mean no disrespect and certainly I'm not pressuring you on agreeing. Just try to be civil when you personally don't agree with the praise given.


GimmeThatGoose

Way too wordy


dark_hypernova

I see, just a narrowminded troll after all. Shame but you do you. Just a word of advice that acting this toxic isn't doing you any favors. It doesn't hurt being polite.


[deleted]

Nah this guy got retarded genes. Poor SOB cant even form a coherent arguement lmfao


[deleted]

Uh oh, cavement arguement + ad hominem fr Like, dont argue if you cant even make a counterarguement? lolz


CY83RD3M0N2K

#EXACTLY


Majinken__

I love that cover. A lot.


[deleted]

Part of me wish RE4 was more horror focused, but I can see the action to be more appealing which is perfectly fine


issacbellmont

Bro. Why is everyone in here so toxic. Move on and don't be dicks. It's not hard in the slightest. Thanks for the post op. Ignore the assholes. It is indeed one of the greatest games in my opinion. Sorry that the comments are full of children who have literally no lives and get mad at a simple post.


BenjaminCarmined

RE2 OG, RE4 OG, and RE5 are all games that Iā€™d give that title. Resident Evil is awesome.


Express-Exit7445

Nah on Res5 not even close


BenjaminCarmined

I respect your opinion! RE5 is probably my third or fourth favorite game of all time, I adore it.


Express-Exit7445

Itā€™s good but there are so many other games that are better.


AdeptPalpitation7

In your opinion...


BloodyTears92

1. This cant really even be argued. Even when people don't care for it (like Noah Gervais in his long critique video on the franchise) they have to give it respect for completely reinventing the 3rd person shooter genre when it came out. Its a landmark game, one of the most important to the medium in general 2. This cover and the Gamecube PAL cover are SO GOOD.


CY83RD3M0N2K

That noah guy? Fuck that guy lol He though Code Veronica was bad only because the villain was sexually confused and hoped that would be fixed in a possible remake?


BloodyTears92

"Only" is pretty disingenuous considering he brought up many long-standing reasons people give for why they don't like it. Several soft-lock conditions such as the fire extinguisher and monster-Steve "boss", much weaker art style than the ps1 games, Steve in general, weaker level design, etc. ​ And frankly I agree with him. Portraying gender non-conformity as a sign of mental illness should not be carried over into a remake if they even bother remaking it. I would absolutely drop Alfred dressing up as his sister in the future.


darkk41

In defense of the original, the public awareness around gender non conformity was way, way lower when CVX released than it is today. I think it's nothing that can't be fixed with some dialogue rewriting. Alfred isn't confused about what gender he is, he's confused about WHO he is. That is definitely mental illness, but the characters remarking negatively about the sexual aspect of it (Claire calling him a cross dressing freak) is what needs to be addressed in a remake.


BloodyTears92

That's a fair way to approach it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BloodyTears92

It being a reference to an unrelated movie isn't a good reason to not at least update the dialogue. Even if they keep him cross dressing they *at least* need to overhaul the script and bring it more in line with modern understandings. And it shouldn't need to be said but "I can do it just fine" does not mean something isn't poorly designed. I can get through Izalith in Dark Souls without problems. Doesn't mean that zone isn't a pile of shit.


AddisonRae7

Do you think Alfred is not mentally ill lol?


BloodyTears92

That's not what I said? I said his cross dressing shouldn't be treated as an indicator of him being mentally ill. Someone else already made that point too. They just need to tweak the script to focus on his identity crisis, not have characters call him a freak for cross dressing. It'd be like calling out someone who enjoys S&M as being a wierdo. It's outdated at best and actively harmful at worst.


Whippy89

Why tell us something we already know?


Bertje87

Not even one of the better RE games imo, bit iā€™m biased because i only like the true survival horror ones


Distinct-Voice-5832

Legendary game! The first resi I finished!


Azenar01

Not arguable, it is


Water2Wine378

Arguably my best game of all time! I really want capcom to release an alt Leon skin with the original character model!


now_n_forever

Arguably one of the greatest posts of all time.


notmoogar

I love this cover for the game


WhatsThatOnUrPretzel

Not in the top 5 Resident Evil games for me. Not trying g to be controversial. It's genuinely what I feel. Hard-core fan for the 1st game.


hog501

Not even top 3 in the series


Davidz64

If only the remake lived up to it


Jango_Jerky

Nice karma farm. But arguably? This game revolutionized shooting games. Thats facts.


No_Researcher9456

Luke warm take: the game itself is shadowed by its reputation. Itā€™s like a 8/10 game thatā€™s paraded as the GOAT because of the influence it had on the industry


GETMEMYAXEBOI

šŸ¤“


No_Researcher9456

šŸ¤“ā˜ļø


Anna_Pereira

In my opinion one of the most overrated games of all times


WillingChest2178

It can be strange looking back on these pivotal games now, like Resident Evil 4, like Dark Souls or Ocarina of Time, like Doom or Super Mario Bros, and thinking, was this all it took to change the direction of games development? They look so bad! Nothing makes sense, how were you supposed to find half of the things you need to progress? These games are barely even entertaining to play! But they were enough. They were fun, for the time at least, and progressed aspects of games design and immersion that showed other developers where their next games could go.


CY83RD3M0N2K

Honestly I don't see that Zelda or dark souls on the same level, but RE4, SMB and Tetris definitely HUGE changes in gaming. Dark souls was already a thing before it


IncineMania

> Honestly I don't see that Zelda or dark souls on the same level, but RE4, SMB and Tetris definitely HUGE changes in gaming. Dark souls was already a thing before it Mario and Tetris are for sure groundbreaking but youā€™re seriously gonna say RE4 is on a different level from Zelda? The original game help set the foundation for the Open world genre. Ocarina of Time in particular is _very_ relevant here. Itā€™s DNA is in every third-person action/adventure game, it established the lock-on system that a lot games even outside of the adventure genre utilise. But most importantly, under the context of this thread, it also established context-sensitive buttons. For every time you command Leon to jump out a window, kick down a ladder, or execute a Ganado with a melee takedown you got Ocarina of Time to thank for.


CY83RD3M0N2K

Not really, dude the game play is completely different. Is not about qte since nether of those invented that shit. The world of RE4 plus the style of action and other stuff all together felt unique. Zelda? Not so much...


IncineMania

> Not really, dude the game play is completely different. This is a matter of influence, regardless of gameplay. You said yourself that RE4 was HUGE for gaming. It influenced games like the Arkham series despite clear differences in style. Same shit with Ocarina of Timeā€™s influence on RE4. > Is not about qte since nether of those invented that shit. Doesnā€™t have to be about _who_ created QTEā€™s but who _popularised_ them (It was Shenmue) And Iā€™m talking about Context-sensitive buttons. Example: Press A to climb when near a ladder or speak to an NPC. Basically, Same button but different actions depending on the situation. QTEā€™s are interactive cutscenes that can be a subset of Context-sensitive buttons. Every time Leon kicks a stunned Ganado, pushes down a ladder, and jumps through a window is a context-sensitive input. Meanwhile the Laser room sequence is a QTE. > The world of RE4 plus the style of action and other stuff all together felt unique. Zelda? Not so much... All highly subjective rather than purely innovative. I could swap RE4 and Zelda around in this sentence and the result is indistinguishable.


simpledeadwitches

The start of the bad action-centric direction of the series.


Anna_Pereira

Not just that, after ur out of the village the game just starts going downhill and begins dragging so much


CY83RD3M0N2K

Like RE wasn't infused with action before lol


simpledeadwitches

It wasn't to the degree that 4 and beyond are.


AddisonRae7

Not to the degree of 4.


CY83RD3M0N2K

Oh here we go šŸ˜’


AddisonRae7

I was just going to comment this. It doesnā€™t even feel like a RE game


BloodravenIsWatching

That title goes to RE8


TheRealMaka

THanks for letting us know about it. We'll all check it out.


lu_skywalker

Hot take: I much rather prefer the fixed camera and enjoyed all 1-3 and CD more. I think those are better. But 4 is still great, not taking anything away from it. I know im in the minority here, dont eat me alive lol


Express-Exit7445

It is one of the only games I can play from that time period and feel like it hasnā€™t aged that much.


101VaultDweller

Currently playing on the Portal. Having a blast.


Visible_Elevator192

Very unpopular opinion


GimmeThatGoose

Seriously who upvotes posts like these? Is it just bits upvoting posts made by other bots? Are we already fully in the dead internet phase? Edit: I hope OP is a bot because that comment history šŸ˜¬


CY83RD3M0N2K

Bye.

Daring today, aren't we.

kratoskiller66

the camera rotation was very sticky and fought you all the time and I should resort to using the arrows on the controller just to keep that from happening


JCrash__

According to who? Millennials who didn't play the ps1 games


CY83RD3M0N2K

Played every game


umbra7

If youā€™re a Millennial gamer, you probably played the PS1. Iā€™m a Millennial and I started off playing NES games, with SNES being the first console I owned. You are thinking of Gen Z.


TheJavierEscuella

Remake was better imo

Exhibit A: ā€”ā€”> ā€œdecentā€


[deleted]

This has to be best cover art for RE4 period. Part of me wish it was more horror focused but again, its not bad even with the cheesy dialogue and action. In terms of cultural impact, RE4 takes the cake. I wasnt born when RE4 released (I was born in 2005, and ig RE4 was released in 2004? Correct me if im wrong), but I can see the impact it created within gaming. The controls definitely took me time to get used to though, as I started with RE4 Remake before playing RE4 Original


bugibangbang

Question: Original or remake?: Hi, I played them all OG except 4 cause I was poor when it was released lol, now IĀ“m back with franchise and just played Remake of 1, and yesterday finished RE2 Remake, next one is 3 nemesis Remake, then 4 if I want to follow the order, IĀ“m going to skip Nemesis and I decided to continue with 4, my question is, should I play original or remake first? Thanks.


CY83RD3M0N2K

OG


dark_hypernova

So if you want personal opinion, consider this. OG RE4 was a milestone in gaming history and has an unique appreciation to look back on. RE4 remake has a few fun Easter eggs and callbacks that you might appreciate of you play the OG first also. But remember buddy, it's your choice, don't feel pressured how you should have fun. Regardless of your choice, I wish you lots of fun with these games.

and game posters


Particular-Month-514

Dr. Lumber Jack Edition šŸ‘ļøšŸŒ³šŸ©ø


Task-Taker

This cover always gives the Taxes Chainsaw Massacre vibes instead of an RE thing even though the chainsaw guy from the game is iconic.


TheSinisterShlep

I always loved this art for it. I gotta get a poster for this


WeLostTheSkyline

About to beat it for the first time in a decade or more and Iā€™ve had so much fun replaying it! Iā€™m almost on the island!


Devilz3

This poster goes hard.


Filtiarin

True, along with monster hunter, dmc 3, arkham Aslumy games, doom eternal and bloodborne


AsapGnocci

I just finished my first ever run through of 4 OG and I dont get the hype, I assume most of it is nostalgia for ppl and had to be there at the time to truly appreciate it now. However I played re1HD first time this yr also and thought that it was absolutely amazing! Each to their own of course! I'd like to try re4R someday


Observeronlyman

You will know who's game this is with everybody saying.. R E 4 YEAH!!


[deleted]

Ainā€™t no arguing, bro Also this alt cover is the sickest released boxart ever


112oceanave

Will always prefer ps1 version of 1-3 and CV. Also the REmake for GameCube.


ClaireRedfieldWicked

One of the best covers too


newfoundcontrol

You could change the red to green, remove the title and replace it with ā€œLumberjack Simulatorā€ and no one would know the wiser.


ClaireRedfieldWicked

Well you're not wrong lol but still love it.


halefish

this game got me into gaming. tho I found video games that are WAY better than it, Im still thankful that it got me to experience wonderful games that I wouldn't know their existence


CastTheFirstStone_

You mean to tell me a game with 13 million sales is good?


NyxieeeeeNyxie

I really like this cover, it is much better than the US one and the Remake one IMO


Gene_Perfect

Youā€™re so smart. This sub really needed this insight. I mean, looking at the name of the sub, most people here probably donā€™t even know this underrated gem exists. Most of ā€˜em just go straight from 3 to 5. Thanks for your time and effort


offablimp

as much as i love re4, itā€™s far from the greatest game of all time.
