I agree man, I'm one of the few who didn't like RE4/5 I want my god damn tank moving characters and creepy atmosphere, not a action game made for kids with A.D.D. "
This.
Also anyone who says things like The Suffering, Condemned, Resi 4/5, etcetc needs to GTFO of this thread, those are action games, FPS's etc etc.
Honestly, I fucking loved Resident Evil 4 it's one of the best action games ever made, but it is that and that alone, an action game. I also will never, EVER forgive it for fundamentally changing the Resident Evil franchise forever, and in my opinion, obliterating what was already a weak plotline, now we have bullshit like what i'm reading about in Resi 5? Fuck that, I don't like the way things have turned out one single bit.
Even stuff like Dead Space barely qualifies as survival horror, it's only barely justifiable the choices it makes and I honestly still consider it the large majority action game, there is little focus on puzzle solving or simple survival, ammo is everywhere and only on the very first playthrough are you ever in need of sometimes running away from your enemies instead of simply decimating them all. Even then, if you're in the least bit competant, you can total everything in the game, in my humble opinion survival horror games shouldnt even give you the option of fighting everything in the game, you should be forced to turn tail and run at least once, and should subsequently be awarded for avoiding confrontation (IE you save the ammo for bosses) whereas games like Dead Space, Resi 4 and 5 make that impossible (Especially Resi 5) by just throwing millions of enemies at you and locking all the doors until everyones dead. That's not survival horror, that action no matter which way you cut it.
My favorite Survival Horror is and always will be Resident Evil 2. But there are some underappreciated classics in the genre like all 3 Project Zero/Fatal Frame games, Siren (all of them) Silent Hill 4: The Room (The only game in the series I truly enjoyed) any of the original Alone in the Dark games (IE not The New Nightmare, or the one Atari put out recently) and the Clock Tower series, including number 3.
