...I just picked up Biohazard 5 (100% English) from Book Off for 5000円, and I'm already up to chapter 4-1.  I haven't been scared once this entire game.  Maybe it's playing with people online co-op...but I'm seriously not finding this game scary one bit. 

It's a shooter...with some on rails.  I just killed the doctor dude and about to enter the caves with some random dude...he's not scared either. 

Even RE4 had scary parts and tension...this has like none of it.  O_o

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

I kind of disagree. I mean no it is not jump out of your seat or anything. But I think the game has some of the most adreniline rushing intense action. And it deffiantly has that very erie feel as you walk through the levels and such and look at and investigate the grusome nasty stuff.

Its not by SD perry therefor it sucks.

Unfortunately that is true . Resident Evil 5 is devoid of scare

This "erie-ness" better pick up soon because I feel robbed of my money.  I wanted RE4's horror, this isn't a horror game...far from it.  Either I'm getting to old for games like this or Capcom screwed up.  I found Siren for PS3 scary as hell, as well as Dead Space...this, not so much.Don't get me wrong, I'm loving every minute of it...but I've been playing from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. and I feel like the game is to short.  :("

Wow you just found out now? I didn't need to play this crap to know it's not scary.

Neither was RE4.  Hell, neither were any of the RE games past that dog BS.

What do we clasify as scary. I mean really None of the RE games were really scray they are all mostly just ERIE? I mean I think we all agree that Silent Hill has the Scary crown.

RE1 was not ah tscray more funny if anything I mean the voice action was so B rated commical. I do say that for erie. I would give RE2 the most erie. But none have been like drop dead all out fear or anything. It's always been survive and fight with very disturbing erie twist.

This game, along with RE4, wasn't meant to be scary.  That's what you get for not doing at least a little reading-up on a game before you buy it.

"Neither was RE4. 

If you really want CREEPY SCARY. Get SYSTEM SHOCK for PC even though the graphics are poop for todays times. I think most would agree that has to be one of the most creepy games to play.

None of the Resident Evil games are particular scary. I remember RE1 as being very scary, but that's probably because I played it as a 12 year old. I'm quite sure I won't be scared if I happened to play it again.

It's also hard to define what's scary. For some it's the tension, which all RE games greatly delivers imo. For others it's the sudden chair-jumping moments as seen 24/7 in Doom 3.

Yeah the new games In witch i mean 4 and 5 i didnt find scary one bit . But 3 it scared the shit out of me. Maybe that was just because i was a kid when i played it but i think even today id get a few jumps out of it

RE4's opening disc set in the woods then the castle was very unsettling. RE5 has none of that. And it's not even tense either. Somehow, the game is even more boring than Dead Space and at this point, i'm only playing it for achievements and Albert Wesker.

I would agree that RE5 lacks the scares. It is unfortunate because RE4 struck a great balance between action and thrills, and RE5 doesn't even make a considerate effort to do that. It seems like laziness on Capcom's part. I would also say that I didn't find Dead Space scary, though, when compared to RE5, it had some thrills at least. Nonetheless, I do like RE5...so far.

Either I'm getting to old for games like this or Capcom screwed up.

The game is not short. It is about 12 hours. That is good for an action game especialy one that is this fun to replay and go for more weapon upgrades and to unlock proffesional mode. And Coop.Like I said it's not like a scary mvoie what it is is very erie in regards to would you want to be stuck in some African country and see this stuff and being attacked? No I think not. The game gives you the sense of you have no friends and you are being stalked by the people."

The tension and eeriness is caused by the fact you can't shoot and run.

FACT

Try playing the game on a harder difficulty. The game is a lot more enjoyable if you are struggling from room to room with no ammo and half dead.
