March 2025

This game opens with a close-up of Sheva's ass. Mid way through, Jill rips her top open to let her girls breathe. It all ends with a shirtless Wesker in a volcano telling Chris how he really feels. It's bizarre. Great game.

Hey gamers, let’s talk about Resident Evil 5, a game that may not hit the horror highs of its predecessors but still brings plenty of fun to the table. Here’s why it’s worth checking out. [*] A Shift in Tone: Resident Evil 5 is where the series leaned more into action than survival horror. It’s like trading creepy haunted mansions for adrenaline-pumping action sequences – not what some fans expected, but still entertaining in its own way. [*] Co-Op Action Madness: This game truly shines in co-op mode. Whether you’re playing online or with a friend on the couch, blasting through hordes of enemies with a buddy adds a whole new level of fun. It’s like surviving the apocalypse with your best friend, what’s not to love? [*] Stunning Visuals (For Its Time): Resident Evil 5 was a visual treat when it launched. The vibrant African setting is a nice change from the dark, claustrophobic spaces of earlier games. From sunny savannahs to creepy caves, the environments keep you hooked. [*] Gameplay Evolution: Sure, it’s more action-heavy than the classic Resident Evil games, but it’s still fun. The gunplay feels solid, and managing your limited resources adds a layer of strategy. Plus, the inventory system keeps you on your toes. [*] Memorable Moments: Resident Evil 5 is packed with iconic moments, from intense boss fights to that infamous boulder-punching scene. It’s like a rollercoaster of epic moments that stick with you long after you’ve finished the game. [*] Controversy Aside: The game has had its fair share of criticism, from the tonal shift to some of its design choices, but it’s still a solid action game. It’s like that movie everyone loves to nitpick but secretly enjoys. [*] A Love Letter to Fans: While it’s not perfect, Resident Evil 5 throws in nods to longtime fans with returning characters and connections to the series' lore. For die-hard RE fans, it’s like a reunion with old friends, even if they’ve changed a bit. My Verdict says Resident Evil 5 might not be the scariest entry in the franchise, but it’s a thrilling action game with a co-op experience that’s hard to beat. If you’re looking for something fun to play with a friend or you’re a fan of the series, give this one a shot. It’s got just enough Resident Evil DNA to keep you hooked!"

this game gave me and my husband a type of brain damage that lead us to roleplay the characters' mannerisms and speech patterns, even while out in public. unparalleled experience.

Nov. 2024

Chris Redfield and Sheva whatever her last name goes to africa and commit massive genocide and leaves with no elaboration. I must say this is a masterpiece of a game and should be remaked soon

Sept. 2024

Game's pretty sick, but a little forewarning to save you some frustration when you play through it: In chapter 5-2, there's a boss that is bugged that will literally not die through the normal given means of beating it. The only way to get past it is one of two things: capping the framerate at 30 fps then maybe that lets you beat it normally, or buying an rpg and insta-killing it. I suggest saving up for the rpg since in my opinion the boss design is complete garbage anyways. Don't know why Capcom never bothered to patch this issue out of the game, but it is what it is I guess. It is an old game and for some reason games like this seem to always have issues with running them at high fps.
