You can't please anyone any percent of the time.

So, I've been at odds with the internet this past week. We've been like detached lovers, ambivalent towards what the other has to say, but knowing that we need each other because the sex is great.


Scratch that. Restart.

I'm really looking forward to Resident Evil 5. I know it's not what RE used to be, and it's not what some believe RE should become...but I don't think I understand the hate. The two main complaints seem to be:

1. It's not a true survival horror game.


 I can see where this is coming from. I was in fact one of the people that liked RE when it was all about conserving ammo and watching door-opening animations. Should these complaints not have been sorted out when RE4 came out? I thought they were.

2. You STILL can't run and shoot.

I also understand this one...but I don't really care. I think that as well as (many have stated this) adding to the tension, it creates a niche in the video game market not already filled by Gears-type shooters. Although I do fucking loves me some Gears.

Now, there are some things this game presents that makes me apprehensive, but as I won't be playing it until tomorrow, I can't say whether they will be real problems or not. I am a bit concerned that Sheva will hinder boss battles and horde resources. I also am not a fan of this.

I can only surmise that it is impossible to please everyone, and I will still enjoy Resident Evil 5.

Adios.

Personally I can't wait to see how racist RE5 actually is.

I live by the philosophy, take what you think you deserve.

Alot of people get more than they should and have no right to complain. We call these people fanboys.
