Why is Resident Evil 4 a stupid crap? (By me)
Gorgoncete \| 11:19 AM on 01.13.2008	36 comments

I'm sure most of you will disagree with me... what the fuck! I'm sure most of you are going to flame me because of my next words, but I think RE4 is one of the most overrated games ever! Let's explore a bit in the game:

- Lion is the brand new President's daughter bodyguard (What the fuck!?)
- The President's daughter has been kidnapped by a spanish sect (How the fuck!?)
- Lion go by himself to a lost spanish town in the middle of... nothing (Ok, he has guts)
- The Spanish villagers don't speak spanish, they speak mexican... (Oh, crap!)
- The Spanish mexian speakers villagers are slow, fearless and dumb (yeah, that's the way we are)

- There is a weird guy following you wherever you go who sells you weapons (it's also common in Spain)
- The money is on "pesetas" of course (What is euro?)
- There is a big bearded guy who can kill you a few times, but he rather injects you (smart guy indeed)
- Ada Wongs is there too... emmm... this chick loves problems
- Did I say that she is dressed in a one piece dress?

- Stupid villagers are stupid, but they can plant bombs (in Spain everybody knows)
- Oh! The stupid villagers can take more than five gunshots (yeah, as you probably guess, spanish guys are tough)
- Well, I only played a few hours so I cannot say much more than that, but you get my point... and it's a shame because I loved Resident Evil 1 and 2.

By the way, I know my english sucks, blablabla...

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Wait a second...you listed Ada Wong in a one-piece dress as a negative?

FAIL!!

I've got to go to Spain.

Was I the only one bothered mainly by Leon being called Lion the whole time?

This game is extremely overrated but you didn't cover any of the real reasons why. Fail.

RE4 bored the hell out of me. Collect fuckloads of ammo. Proceed to next area. Kill everything that moves. Proceed to next area. Collect fuckloads of ammo. Proceed to next area. Kill pathetically easy boss. Proceed to next area. Wash. RInse. REPEAT.

I got RE4 the day it came out for Gamecube. It was immediately side lined so that I could play, enjoy and finish Zelda: Minish Cap. As soon as I finished Zelda, I marathoned RE4 so that I could sell it back for maximum value.

RE4 is one of the most boring games I've played. All of the charm of the series was removed and even lamer dialog and vague hints of Leon's disinterest in females was added. RE4 is fail.

Tambi�n me alegro de que puso "por m�" en su t�tulo, que antes de que yo no estaba seguro de si fue por alguna otra persona o no. Me alegro de que te despejado. Qu� puede hacer este tipo de an�lisis para todo lo que usted reloj? Apuesto a que usted odiaba a morir duro porque ser�a imposible que john mccain a caminar sobre vidrios rotos entonces no mueren por p�rdida de sangre o ser gravemente lisiado, o capaz de saltar por encima de un chorro de vuelo harrier. Usted debe llevar una vida muy aburrida. Y para que usted pueda entender esto que he traducido en M�xico para usted. Gracias Google!

I'm also glad you put "by me" in your title, as before that I wasn't sure if it was by someone else or not. I am glad you cleared that up. Do you do this kind of analysis for everything you watch? I bet you hated die hard because it would be impossible for john mccain to walk on broken glass then not die from blood loss or be severely crippled, or able to jump on top of a flying harrier jet. You must lead a very boring life. And so that you can understand this I have translated it into Mexican for you. Thank you google!

Your English sucks and so does you taste I guess. The old Resident Evils compared to Resident Evil 4 play like shit. Don't get me wrong, I love them too I played the first and second Resident Evil probably well over twenty times. But the gameplay style was just too archaic. "Tank" controls with rendered backgrounds and fixed camera angles just don't work well anymore. Gameplay is the most important thing in a video game and Resident Evil 4 has that in spades.

mistic says:
(# 12) on 01/13/2008 13:04

admitted that the pesetas-thingy is a bit retarded, I would NEVER even consider that an even remote anoyance in playing a game... I never even thought about it like that...

guess you hated the sims with their Simeoleans as well then? or WoW? ( I mean who really pays with gold in a store?)

I also fail to see what is bad about scarcely dressed women, are you gay?

also, if villagers would just require 1 gunshot to die, RE4 would be boring as hell, what game has your opponents die with one frigging bullet, have you ever played games??? ( CS with AWP does not count!!! )

basicly anybody that can read can find out how to create a bomb so the villagers could most certainly do that too :-)

no offence man, but I like RE4 and the reasons you put forth won't change my mind :-)

also immagine RE4 without all the stuff you just said, now THAT would SUCK (no way to buy guns, euros make everything a fuckload more expensive then it used to be, no hot women...) damn...

@ Reaprar: I'm from Spain, and there is a big difference between spanish and mexican accent. Also, euro was released on 2002, the game on 2005 :)

@ Bahamut Zero: Looks like I speak english much better than you speak spanish... and I loved Die Hard

@ Fadakar: Lion, Leon, whatever... you understand me isn't?

@ Trevor McGee: Thanks for the appreciation about my english. Also Resident Evil 1 and 2 were much better.

Also, I love you all, hard-fanboys

This reminds me of just yesterday when I was playing Metroid Prime 3 and a friend who was watching just couldn't get past his point that 'there is no way that girl could shrink down into a tiny ball! it's physically impossible!'

either you accept video game logic with a certain humor (and a lot of the time that humor is intentional) or you don't have fun. Those are your options. I choose fun.

You are part of the cancer that's killing the game industry.

Gorgoncete says:

@ ajay42: One thing is accept game logic (which I do) and other thing is pretend that a shoddy logic is game logic... very different

Hay lookit me, I'm going to spout retarded non-sensical crap to whore for comments! I'm awesome!

Wedge says:
(# 18) on 01/13/2008 14:16

So yes, here's your precious comments.

Also if you're playing Resident Evil for story, you're a fucking halfwit fanboy. Because that is the ONLY thing you are complaining about.

mix says:
(# 19) on 01/13/2008 14:37

@ Gorgoncete

"Also, I love you all, hard-fanboys"

So you like hard fanboys....eh

RE one crap, 2 was awesome, 3 was meh all the gun survivor ones sucked and Code Veronica X wasn't that great either, and I freaking LOVE RE as a series.

The "stupid villagers can take more than five gunshots" last time I checked they were infected...hrrm indeed. I bet what you mean is that if they were REAL and infected it would only take like, one shot or two shots to down them. I used to think like this until back in '97 when I had the encounter with a zombie. They seriously take a chest full of rounds without stopping, then I remembered the video games and was like, oh yeah heads shots. That zombie fell like a sack of bricks. Good times, good times.

wait.... resident evil 4 =/= reality? OMG then it must be fail!

Gorgoncete says:

Ding Ding Ding !

And Wedge won the smarter post of the year award! :)

Do you guys realize how much you flame someone who doesn't like what you like? Some of you should go buy a life

mistic says:
(# 22) on 01/13/2008 15:18

@Gorgoncete

its not that we flame you because you don't like what we like, we flame you because you use bogus reasons to dis something that is generally considered a great game...

nilcam said he hated it too, but his reasoning is far more acceptable to us, why because he's using decent arguments :-)

also I'm at work so I haven't got a life atm :-)

but srsly, no offence meant though :-)

mix says:
(# 23) on 01/13/2008 15:44

My post was based for a more comedic approach, I only "flamed" about that hard fanboy and it twas a good one at that.

bottled dark says:
(# 24) on 01/13/2008 17:17

why hate a game based on inconsistencies alone.

it's a fun game, and i dont think you said otherwise at any point in the cblog written by you. play the game through, so you can hate on how the castle isn't traditional spanish architecture.

aborto thefetus says:
(# 25) on 01/13/2008 18:24

Wait, so you hate a game because it is inconsistent? Because it doesn't have some of its facts right? Because it's not realistic?

Exactly how many games have you played in your life? Obviously not alot if you count the fact that you shoot guys five times before they die as a negative.

PANZERDRAKO says:
(# 26) on 01/13/2008 20:32

well, everything depend WHICH bullets he used, no?

anyways...
i know es muy diferente el espa�ol latino ke el ezpa�ol de espa�a (no ofensa)...

a example of this is the spanish voices for total overdose (ps2)...

mexicans talking like spanish people...

so esto nunca va a terminar...

The problem with your criticism is that you based it solely on either minor details (ones that can be easily ignored), or complaints about the story. No one plays RE4 for the story, and neither does the older RE games for that matter. The story has always been like a cheesy B movie. If you wish to complain, then list some major gameplay issues, then it'll have a bit of credibility. And not just for this game, but for any game you criticize.

(# 28) on 01/15/2008 18:56

dude your a fucktard for posting this blog, like others said FUCKIN MAKE ACTUAL ARGUMENTS ON WHY RE4 SUCKS, if you cant, THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP,please, no offence meant, jus stating the truth. if you do love RE then for muthafuckin sake, you musta realised by now RE cant tell a staory to save its life, oh and why in hell are you arguing about the game only a few into actually playing it. at least finish the damn game first, youre a gamer for chrissake, not a dipshit camel fucker. finish it, state you argument in a clear, logical, senisble way, and we'll actually listen, until then...best of luck finishing the game

I'm pretty sure Leon (Not Lion) goes to the village with a police escort who get killed. Also the villagers take a while to kill cause they are horrible las plagos mutants.

RE4 is barely Resident Evil. Fact. RE4 is amazing. Fact.

Mushman, go play madden dude.

Gorgoncete; dont tell US to buy a life on a hardcore gaming site. Go learn proper english before you try to rip on us in our language, pendejo. (i'm not gonna bother spelling in an inferior language)

Gorgo, you are obviously very young and immature. With any form of entertainment, there's this thing called suspension of disbelief that comes attached. Now picking at RE4 like you do, you'd then have to do the same for Zelda, MGS and any other game in a created from scratch.

Sure, a lot of stuff in games are silly, but that's why you suspend you disbelief accordingly where needed. Compared to RE1 and RE2, and as much as I enjoyed them RE4 is a milestone in the series and third person games in general. Unfortunately in your rant you fail to see the positives of RE4. Things like there would probably be no Gears of War the way we know it, were it not for RE4 influencing Cliffy B. As a result, many other games have benefited and third person games now rival FPS games an a fairly equal footing.

Fact, Leon did not go alone to the village, he had police with him, who were killed. Spanish is a language, and mexican is the same language in everything but name. Learn some history as Spain existed long before Mexico was founded.

Also, if you think RE4 is that bad, take a look at the huge list of awards it won, and that doesn't sway you, then don't play it. Capcom don't need your love, so fuck off.

Lion is also in VF4, not RE4, get it right.

Wow, check your facts next time. I was all ready to read a good argument about how RE4 is overrated, but man, that physically hurt my eyes.

about me
Hi little ones. My name is Andr�s, I'm 21 and I've been playing computer games since I was 4. So probably I could kick your ass in a Wacky Wheels deathmatch. The reason I decided to start this blog was that I have so much free time to waste, and I though that a excelent way of wasting time would be starting a blog of one the things a like the most... so here I am. -Preferred games: RPGs (specially SRPG) and Adventures (classic style) -Crap I don't like: MMORPG (they are like drugs and I don't like drugs) and most of the driving games -Now playing: Phoenix Wright 3, Front Mission DS, Contra 4 (yes, I only have my DS here in Holland) -Desiring so bad: SMT: Persona 3, The Nomad Soul, somethin else...
